Skills
Apart from being excellent marksman, Deidra is exceptionally skilled with knives (throwing as well as stabbing). She's a skilled slicer, pilot and mechanic, most of the upgrades her ship received during her ownership is done by her. She's well educated in the field of medicine, especially human anatomy, can serve as field medic. Well trained in the art of covert ops and silent tactics. Skilled hunter.

None
Strengths and weaknesses
Her cold heart may be viewed as both her greatest strength and greatest weakness. She is strong for she can't be hurt through her friends or family for she has none, she cares only for herself. But she is weak, for she can't rely on anyone and basically faces the galaxy alone.

Gear

Tech profile link
A set of beskar'gam made of lightened duraplast. Able to withstand most blaster hits, effective against glancing lightsaber hit.
The armor is made slightly lighter then most of her brethren to suit her need to be quick and agile. Her helmet has all the sophisticated tech that other mandalorians use in their buckets and it still has quite a reserve for further upgrades. Deidra uses voice commands to control some of her helmet and armor systems, as opposed to eye blinking other mandos favor. The HUD is controlled through head implant by "concentrated thinking".
Her armor is painted grey ("lost love") and gold ("vengeance"), the design looks quite archaic.
On the back plate of her armor there is a worn inscription in mando'a letters:

O'r tracyn mhi goteni
O'r tracyn mhi ash'amu
Al mhi ven haa'tayli Iral'kar hetti
Ru mhi udesii darasuum


(In flames we are born
In flame we will die
But we'll see the Galaxy burn
Before we rest forever)

Her left armor gauntlet contains communication and armor systems controls as well as data storage and ports for connection to other computer systems. Right gauntlet houses ejecting twin beskar blades (predator style).
Her armor is also equipped with personal camouflage system (good for 15 minutes, after that needs recharge), which doesn’t make her invisible, but much harder to detect with naked eyes.
Deidra is armed with two DL-18 blaster pistols and custom made sniper rifle.

Ship
"Dha'ca" ("Dark night")

Droids
None
Pets
None

Personality
Deidra is extremely introverted person, not willing to share a single thought with anyone alive. She talks little and when she does it’s usually just a couple of words or just a "yes/no" answer. She keeps to herself and doesn't really enjoy any company. Never takes her helmet off in public. Even inside her ship she prefers to keep it on.
She's all for cold efficiency and never does anything that wasn't in the job description or what she wasn’t paid for.

Biography
Deidra was raised as a regular mandalorian girl. When her father had a misunderstanding with his older son who left his parents’ house never to return, her father took it upon himself to raise a proper heir out of his daughter. She was taught all the warrior arts the boys usually learn, and at the age of 11 joined her father on his job hunting criminals and bounty hunting. They were quite a successful team and the job paid well. When she was 17 she met a mandalorian boy on one of the jobs. He was a year older then her and very handsome. They spent some time together, even did a few jobs as a team and after that decided to get married. They exchanged vows and had a quiet celebration with his and her parents. The young couple decided to stay on Concord Dawn and raise a proper family. After a year Deidra gave birth to a beautiful little girl, who they called Dinua.
But then the Imperium came and burned Mandalor to molten slag. The mandalorians were scattered and broken apart. Deidra’s parents died in the struggle. And the weakening of mandalorians invited all kinds of scum to their worlds. Rogue mando clans, who didn’t care about their brethren anymore, and only cared about plunder and pillage. It was worse then the Death Watch of old. Farms burned, people died. And Deidra's home was burned as well, along with her husband and little girl still inside, while Deidra was held by a squad of “troopers” (according to the rules, there should not be any rape or extreme violence, so the reason for her being spared is dropped). Deidra was found by a passing neighbor, who served as a doctor for local population. He took her to his house, luckily untouched by the ivaders, and did his best to tend her wounds. The worst one was fractured skull, which he couldn't heal with available equipment, so he used old technic and fixed it with metallic implant, which was bolted to her skull, keeping the fractured bones together.
After she woke up and could stand on her feet Deidra walked back to her house. It took her a full day to find the bodies and dug out graves. After she buried her family along with her heart and soul, she dug out from under the house her war kit. Armor, weapons, tools. Then she goes after her family’s killers. The squad leader, who had most of the "fun" dies first, while in his command tent, being garroted to the point of nearly cut off head. Then the squad team members start to die or disappear one by one. They are found headless, skinned, burnt to a crisp and bled dry almost all over their camp. The last one, the youngest soldier, who probably had been out of his parents’ care for the first time, was found hanging from the pole upside down with his neck sliced. When he's discovered by his fellow clanmates, they find a simple time watch stuffed into his mouth. The watch ticked backwards, counting down 11 seconds. Before anyone could realize what happened or take any action a great explosion wiped the whole camp from the face of the planet.
By that time Deidra was on her way to the spaceport. There was parked her father's ship, one she received as a gift for her verd'goten. False identity chips, some cash and she was off the planet in less than an hour. When she finally lifted into the air and punched in the coordinates she activated the autopilot and put her helmet on. And only inside her helmet she burst into tears. No-one could hear her cries, not even the ship itself. Deidra cried and screamed inside her helmet, cursing the whole galaxy and begging to die, right then and there, but mute to the outside world. Since then she never took her helmet off in the presence of any living soul. Even inside her ship when she's all alone she keeps it on.
She went on being bounty hunter, taking the most risky and dangerous jobs with a sole purpose of being killed on one of them, but her instinct refuses her the chance to catch a blaster bolt or die stupidly. So she carries on, already known to many as one of the best bounty hunters in the region. Her grief won’t let her return to Concord Dawn or even enter mandalorian space, so she mainly keeps to the Hutt space, taking jobs for hunting criminals, murderers, thieves and smugglers. She rarely fails and her prey always finds itself either behind bars (which is rare) or a smoking corpse.

Relations and relatives
Deidra had a brother, Gem Laar, who married a mandalorian girl, Veela. So she is aunt to their daughter, Alora Laar (Sing).
Dreams, aims, goals
Her only goal at the moment is to survive, with all mandos being hunted by the Imperium.

slightly confused when it comes down to the whole "immunity for one hit" thing; does that imply the whole armour fails to prevent a lightsaber once you take an "autodefensesuccess" against a lightsaber? or is it per piece / location or what? I mean if a person were deliberately targetting the same place (which is pretty likely for a skilled duelist), then it would fail in that location...

No, thats exactly what i meant. A single blow the armor can stand, but it suffers damage on first impact and second blow in the same place will penetrate it

I meant rules in general as opposed to specifically your character, should've said that clearer. But that does help, thanks.

Uhhh, I think the personal cloaking is a no-no. I'm not sure if this would require a tech profile, but some of the stuff in the beskar'gam seems like it might.

I just saw your ship profile, and this is kind of sneaky. You link to the tech profile....

But you added a ton of features, things like cloaking devices and shielding, droid brain, etc.

As far as I'm aware, you can ONLY use things that were stated in the tech profile. You added a large amount of powerful features that are not in the profile.

I also think that the ENTIRE suit being able to survive a direct hit from a lightsaber might be against the site rules, but I'm not sure.

Other than those it looks gut.

Armour that can withstand a direct hit from a lightsaber is going to weigh a ton if you want it to remain intact. Additionally, even 1% beskar in a 'light durasteel' suit isn't going to confer that level of protection, ever. At all. Duraplast confers that level of protection and allows you to take glancing blows from lightsabers and is far more common to accquire. Simply shoving a bit of molten beskar into your durasteel armour mould doesn't change the fact that the durasteel is still durasteel.


As for the ship tech, no. Make a tech write up for this character's personal ship, with all the installed upgrades and their specifications, for approval. You can't just sneak in a cloaking device like this and expect it go fly. Especially on your armour. Cloaking tech is expressly disallowed on armour.

Unless you want to be a leper riddled with cancerous growths from unshielded radiation poisoning.

There should be a character who uses a cloaking armour thingy and shortens his/her life all the time as a result.

The only time any Mandalorian world has been occupied was after the Mandalorian Evacuation, which was about 12-15 years ago IC'ly when the whole of the Mandalorian populace up and ran away from their homeworld. During that 'occupation', if it can even be called that, there were no Mandos left on any of the worlds.

At no point in the timeline has an occupying IAF force and a Mandaloran population existed on Concord Dawn - or any Mando world - at the same time. There was the firing bombing during the Claiment Wars - the Mando civil war - but that and blockading Mando space was, essentially, the extent of IAF involvement with the Mandos post-Coruscant and pre-Genocide.

Even if it wasn't, the Stormtrooper Corps wouldn't wade in torching civilians and crushing dissenters under tanks. It took an order from the Empress and the then-current Dark Lord - a highly divisive order that ticked off quite a few folks - to force the Mandalorian genocide to even happen in the first place. It's a bit of a moot point, though, because the events in your profile couldn't happen at any point in the timeline.

Sorry, Alora, but if you want it to work in its current form - that is, that her home town was burned and all that nasty stuff happened - you'd have to change it to a rogue Mandalorian clan or something to that effect, because it doesn't work with Stormies.
