Biography:

Childhood

Dregg was born into a Mandalorian clan on Jakku. His family and remnants of his once strong and glorious clan had set up a base there several generations. They lived in relative secrecy, choosing to stay away from most people, they set up a nice little base with a forge where they could teach the family's tradition of Mandalorian forgery. Dregg begun to learn how to fight from a young age like most Mandalorians and his grand-father taught him Mando'a whilst his parents taught him galactic basic. They found it best that he should learn both as knowning Mando'a was important to their culture and heritage.

For many years Dregg would be taught about the Mandalorian way of life, picking it up with some difficulty as he was never the most booksmart person. He would also begin to learn how to forge simple things at this time as his father and grandfather showed him the ropes. His clan and family were known to be master forgers and even armourers and weaponsmiths, something which Dregg aspired to be from a young age. He picked up the family tradition quite well, he was always more of a practical learner.

Adolescence

Nothing much happened in Dregg's early teenage life. He continued learning the Mandalorian way and he continued to be taught in his family's tradition of blacksmithing. He even begun to learn how to craft weapons and armour at this stage of his life much like his uncle who he was close to. He had a good bond with all of his family members and clan. The clan at this time was quite sizeable, although they had remained in secret they had often times inducted foundlings to their close-knit group.

Things took a turn for the worse by the time Dregg reached 16. One of Dregg's older cousins had brought trouble to the clan. He had gone out to the stars to pave his own path becoming a bounty hunter and smuggler. However, one of his smuggling trips had gone wrong and he had to dump the cargo in space much to the anger and disdain of the Hutt clans. They sent bounty hunters after his cousin who fled to the clan's hideout. After some time they would be discovered and the clan were attacked by a group of bounty hunters. This attack ended the peace the clan had felt for many years by this point, they were forced to flee their home and travel through the galaxy finding a new place to live.

Early adulthood

By 18 Dregg had spent around 2 years running with his family. Eventually they landed on Tatooine where they again set up life in secrecy. They rebuilt their forge and other things which they had in their old home. Some of the clan members had been lost in the journey due to piracy and raids and other such things. They knew they weren't going to be totally safe on Tatooine but for the time being they could rest. By this point Dregg had become incredibly proficient in blacksmithing, armouring and weaponsmithing. He was able to make all assortment of things and he learned how to work with what little beskar the family had on hand.

After a few years of living on the planet trouble eventually caught wind. Whilst he and his clan were sleeping they were attacked by local gangsters wanting their beskar and other items. Dregg would be one of the few remaining clan members left after the attack driving off the gangsters as best as he could and taking in some battle wounds himself. After the flames settled on their home, Dregg at the age of 23 vowed revenge on the people who killed his family. He took up his father's armour which had survived the fire, it was not made of beskar but it didn't have to be. He and the other 3 remaining members of his clan left for revenge.

They searched throughout the local cantinas and other places of wretched villainy. Eventually they found some of their beskar being sold in a Mos Eisley market. They interrogated the man on the stall and found out where the gang were headquartered and in the night Dregg and his allies attacked. They wiped out the gang taking one loss of their own. Now, Dregg and his remaining clan members set out on their own joint journey. They became bounty hunters and mercenaries, travelling across the galaxy to kill men for their crimes against society or their crimes against gangs. They were even hired to train soldiers and sometimes to aid in battles and small scale covert oprations. They became well respected in their field and much sought after with Dregg as their leader. However, all good things must come to an end and eventually by the time that Dregg was 35 he was the last living member of his clan. He didn't do as much mercenary work but still pursued the bounty hunter life, being a lone gunslinger in the galaxy. He didn't make friendships with many other Mandalorians, although sometimes he'd visit some clans.

Mid adulthood

Eventually as Dregg got older he stopped the bounty hunting and mercenary life. He figured that he was becoming much too old. So at the age of 45 he opted to live a stationary life, settling down on Nar Shadaa. He opened up a store where he created custom weapons and armour for anyone who wanted it. He got good business, many people coming to him for weapons or to customise their own. He displayed his Mandalorian armour for those to see and would work on whatever people asked him to work on. Over the years he met more Mandalorians, working on their armour for them and creating things from beskar for them like whistling birds, the rare spear or the more common mandalorian armour pieces and even answering some of their calls for help. He made good business over the years and heard a lot of talk of Mandalorians taking over Mandalore again. That was until at his current age of 52 when he listened to a signal calling for Mandalorians to go to Mandalore...

Personality:

Dregg at his old age is a stern and often grumpy old man. He has lived a long life and has killed many people, he wants to live to see Mandalore populated by Mandalorians again. He wants a place where he can set up shop and furnish weaponry and other items for his people. He doesn't often have time for those who won't fight for the Mandalorian cause or Mandalorian way, those who don't want to see Mandalore populated again. He also looks down upon those who may act foolishly or oafishly, thinking that they need to mature a bit. One might say he has forgotten what it was like to be young and they would be quite right. Although he is relatively retired from his gunslinging and bounty hunting days he will answer the call of a Mandalorian to aid them. He is neutral on force users, neither trusting them or disliking them.

Dregg has some natural leadership qualities and is always thinking of a plan when on the field. He is quite a quick thinker and can adapt to situations which don't go quite well. He also likes to take in some input from the people he is leading, he believes that listening to your men makes you a quality leader. On the field Dregg is quite brutal, he shows no quarter when he is attacking and uses as much as he can to his advantage. He is also quite a nasty interrogator and doesn't hesitate to get ultra violent from the get go.

Appearance:

Dregg stands at around 6 feet tall. He is quite a muscular and burly man, having broad shoulders and being in exceptional shape and fitness for his age. His hair is grey, he begun to grey in his 40s and it came in quickly. He has shaved sides and short cut hair, preferring to comb it backwards in a quiff life way. His eyes are an emerald green and are accentuated by his thin eyebrows and large scar over his left eye. His skin is white and leathery with age. On his back is a giant faded tattoo of a star, the emblem of his clan. Under the star is the names of his dead clan members and the dates they died. Theres 13 names in total with 10 having died on the same day in the fire on Tatooine. He also has a faded black tattoo of a mythosaur on his right shoulder.

Equipment:
Dregg’s Mandalorian armour

On his person he carries two Westar-35 blaster pistols, 2 thermal detonators and a customised A280C blaster rifle. The customisations include a wooden stock, pistol grip and fore-end and a larger magazine. The blaster rifle also has been customised to be slightly more powerful than a standard A280C. Dregg conceals a DG-34 peacemaker heavy blaster pistol in a holster on his back in case he gets unarmed.

Ship 'The Osprey':

Dregg's ship is a Firespray-31 class patrol and attack craft. It is a rather old ship by this point but it was enough for him in his bounty hunting years and is more than enough for him now. The ship is slightly modified with a class 1 main hyperdrive (faster than the standard 3) and a class 5 backup hyperdrive. Space where prisoners would be on a traditional ship of this class has been modified to be more living space, although there is still a single prisoner room on the ship where bounties would go in his bounty hunting days. It has a dulled red and white striped paint coat.

Ship's Armoury

The armaments on his ship include: spare whistling birds, fuel for his jetpack/flamethrower, 1 Amban phase-pulse blaster, 1 E-11 Sniper rifle, and 1 RT-97C heavy blaster rifle. He also has slugthrowers onboard including a Cycler Rifle, and an ODS Mauler. He also has 2 extra thermal detonators on board and around 2 smoke grenades too. The ship also had medical supplies on board.

The Mandalorian Forge:

Dregg owns a weapon shop on Nar Shadaa.. On the outside there are blue neon lights which spell out 'The Mandalorian Forge' and in the shop window there is a sign which details Dregg's services: "Armour, Weapons, modifications and beskar working (only for Mandalorians)".

In the customer entry point there is a counter with no screen. The counter stretches across the length of the room with a door at the end with a keypad to get through. Behind the counter are stands for weaponry which are on display. There is also a glass case where Dregg keeps his beskar'gam on display. The decoration of the shop floor is quite bland, the walls are all white save for the faded blaster marks on the back wall. The counter is a chestnut brown colour, again it has faded blaster dotting it. Behind the counter there is a door that leads into the back of the building which is also locked by a keypad. In the back is Dregg's forge, the forge is a standard one and has all the moulds, tools and fire Dregg would need to craft armour and weaponry. The back of the store where the Forge is also leads up to Dregg's apartment, with stairs opposite the forge, there is a back door which Dregg uses to get in and out of the building himself.​
