CHARACTER INFO
NAME: Aurn Maro
AGE: 33
EYES: Blue
HAIR: Brown, receding
HEIGHT: 1.8m
WEIGHT: 90 kg
SPECIES AND PLANET: Human, Concord Dawn
ANY DISTINGISHING FEATURES: None.
HELMET COLORS: Silver/Red
BIOGRAPHY: Born in 27BBY on Concord Dawn, Aurn lived a simple life throughout most of the Clone Wars. Aurn, his two brothers and their sister, were raised by
their father after the death of his mother due to a machinery accident on their farm. At this time, his father resigned his formal commission with the local branch of the Protectorate to see to his estate and children.
Towards the end of the war, Aurn had his first encounter with a Jedi - and the man that would shape the rest of his life. After a long day of helping out on the farm, Aurn was relaxing on the roof of his home, acting out in the clouds the space battles he had heard about from friends of his father's. Into his make believe warzone tore, first, one ship belching smoke from a damaged engine, then another vessel, guns blazing. The lead vessel was hit again, spun wildly, and eventually nose-dived into one of the Maro's farthest fields. Aurn, grabbing up his hunting rifle, slid down the side of the house and tore off through the fields to see what had happened.
Halfway to the crash site, he heard a rustling in the crops around him. Rifle at the ready, he proceeded more cautiously until a hand emerged and grabbed his leg, dragging him to the ground. His assailant was a Jedi Knight, and escapee from the justice meted out by Order 66, and begged the boy for protection. A squad of clone troppers detached to hunt down and terminate the Jedi happened upon the pair; the Jedi snatched up the boy and, using him as a personal shield, ordered the troopers to stand down as he backed further into the crops. Calmly and quickly, Aurn lashed out, kicking the Jedi, who dropped him - the clones instantly opened fire. The Jedi managed to redirect the first few bolts, killing two of the eight troopers, but was eventually overpowered and defeated.
The squad's commander took pity on the child and personally escorted him back to the family's homestead; this solidified Aurn's desire to be a professional soldier for the Galactic Empire.
Over the next ten years, Aurn and his father would argue about the boy's desire to join the Empire. The debate was academic until the Empire began to openly recruit civilians to further bolster its military might. The day of his eighteenth birthday, Aurn transmitted his application to the Imperial Academy on Carida and was accepted within the week. His father, still with reservations, congratulated his son and wished him the best of luck in his training.
Over the next year, Aurn was put through all the rigorous and grueling training for which the Caridan Academy was famous. He successfully graduated with honors and the rank of sergeant. For the next nine years he served with distinction in the subjugating of numerous rebellious forces and was eventually promoted to the rank of Stormtrooper Commander. At this point, he was transferred to the "peacekeeping" garrison on Mandalore; unable to bring himself to carry out his duty against his own people, an honorable medical discharge was faked and he left Imperial service.
He returned home ot Concord Dawn to find that his family had been murdered. Swearing vengeance, he took up his father's weapons, Mandalorian armor, and name and set out in pursuit of of his family's killers. Aurn discovered that the brutal murder had been carried out by dissidents of the Imperial occupation of Mandalore and he the regretted his decision to leave Imperial service. Through an old friend still in the military, he found that his family's murderers had already been captured and killed by an Imperial detachment on Ordo - all but one, who had escaped to Mandalore to join the resistance there. Aurn hired himself out as a mercenary to the peacekeeping force on Mandalore, still using his father's name, and relentlessly hunted down the final fugitive and brought him to justice.
With the collapse of the Empire, Aurn continued to perform mercenary work for the Remnant, up to and including service to self-styled warlord Moff Valatine, with his wife, Del Torven, and a band of like minded mercenaries.
DETAILED LIST OF PERSONALITY TRAITS/ HABITS/ QUIRKS: Calm and detached, a born leader. When not fighting, enjoys to read and listen to weighted 'tope. Is fastidious in his dedication to duty and the upkeep of his gear - holdover habits from his years of Imperial service. He is also fond of dry humor, gifted at deadpan delivery even in the face of battle.
WEAPONS AND BASIC EQUIPMENT: Personal armor is a throwback to an older era of Mandalorian supremacy, based on that of Mandalore the Preserver, in an effort to consolidate his twin heritages as both a Mandalorian and a soldier and to fulfill his role as a leader. His primary side-arm is his father's modified Bryar pistol; his favored main-gun is a Clone Wars era DC-15a, discovered and hidden on his farm as a child. For most trips, however, he typically carries a modified Bryar rifle (from which the pistol is actually evolved as a sawed-off variant) in addition to his father's pistol, a vibroshiv, a mid-grade security bypass, and a personal field disruptor.
ARMOR WEAPON ATTACHMENTS: Built into his gauntlets are some of the standard toys one would expect of a Mandalorian: Dart launcher, flamethrower, mini-laser, miniaturized magnetic acceleration collar (capable of firing a plethora of mini-rockets, flechettes, and micro-dets), and grappnnel line.
