(the formally unpainted mandalorian suit of Ijaa – later painted red and gold)

NAME: Ijaa Mereel
FACTION: Mandalorian
RANK: Corporal
SPECIES: Human
AGE: 24
GENDER: Male
HEIGHT: 1.81 meters naturally ; 1.95 meters in armor
WEIGHT: 86 kg
EYES: Blue-green
HAIR: Brown with golden streaks
SKIN: Lightly tanned
CREDITS: 1,000
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Ijaa currently has two tattoos on his body; one is of the Mandalorian phrase “Ni su’cuyi, gar kyr’adyc, ni partayli, gar darasuum” winding around his left arm from his elbow to his wrist with the other being a Mythosaur skull tattoo emblazoned on his left shoulder.
FORCE SENSITIVE: No.


STRENGTH: Neither the tallest nor the smallest of people, Ijaa sits at an average height of 181 centimeters. However, unlike most, his actual size is not what gives birth to his astounding strength. Large, powerful, yet sinewy muscles dot his broad body, telling of immense physical training and of damn near perfect genetics which give birth to his power. Ijaa has been known on several occasions to take on larger opponents in training and dispatch them with what is considered staggering strength when compared to even his own powerful body.

DEXTERITY: Neither the fastest or the slowest of people, Ijaa is not renowned for his running speed against some other Mandalorian people. While faster than the average merc or bounty hunter his size, his running speed is nothing iconic. However, Ijaa has an exceptional reaction time (the speed of which it takes a neural impulse to cause muscle movement) which pans into a variety of things such as target acquisition, shooting speed, and overall muscle movement speed.

CONSTITUTION: Although not the largest of people, Ijaa’s body is formed entirely out of compact, powerful, sinewy muscle which enables him to take and shrug off attacks from enemies which would drop lesser individuals. However this by no means makes him invincible, this does however make him hardier than the average individual through his Mandalorian training and simply through his genetic makeup.

INTELLIGENCE: Ijaa is neither of higher or lesser intelligence. Rather than a true academic curriculum, Ijaa is more specialized on certain things rather than being a jack of all trades with a broad wealth of knowledge. Ijaa seems particularly knowledgeable about engineering, Mandalorian society and culture, as well as war formations/ battle plans. Ijaa is also a student of multiple different languages and has been known to catch on to them surprisingly quick.

WISDOM: Ijaa understands when feats are impossible, understanding when to retreat and regroup and when also to move forward and attack. In short, Ijaa’s wisdom is centered on warfare and what would lead to the historically proven best results from specific formation patterns. He also has a firm belief of honor and to not do anything that would disgrace him or his family. However, when any information is brought to light on his brother’s killers, all wisdom and honor takes a back burner, turning Ijaa into literally a vengeful beast of a man, leading him to willingly attempt suicide missions and at times, dishonorable actions in order to attain this information.

CHARISMA: Young and handsome are two adjectives which Ijaa no doubt has. He has been known as a sweet talker despite the fact that he says little and a gentleman by the female sex making Ijaa no stranger to the art of information extraction, attempting to woo his unknowing informant through flirtation, flattery, and of course, the consumption of alcohol to loosen the lips. However, these processes don’t exist for the same sex; instead Ijaa asks a series of questions which he expects to be answered. If not, Ijaa will attempt to find other means to extrapolate the information, possibly through intimidation. Violence is only reserved for people who have possible information over his brother’s killers, inciting him into an emotional frenzy which leads to such acts.

Throughout his training, Ijaa was taught many forms of weaponry usage, making him a proficient marksman and unarmed combatant. Ijaa also took a keen interest in engineering at a young age and especially in the field of cybernetic development which became such a key interest due to his brother’s disabilities. Later on in his career, when Ijaa was introduced to a variety of spaceships, he quickly learned how to perform repairs and tune ups on the ships, making him a valued member of any crew. Ijaa attests that due to his Mandalorian curriculum that he was capable of learning about several different warfare formations and historical battles which he uses as the basis for understanding which battle formation would work the best.

Ijaa also has been known to be a lady’s man due to his charm and sweet mannerisms with them, allowing him to attempt to seduce and extrapolate information from them. The Mandalorian has been known to be an astute learner of languages, finding it less taxing than others to master them, allowing him to become a fluent speaker of Basic, Mando’a, and to have a moderate understanding of Huttese, Binary, and Shiirywook.

Ijaa was adopted into the Mandalorian culture at a young age. As such, his body has been honed as a weapon in itself with his strength being raw and powerful and with his body being a source of great hardiness. His reactions are top notch, allowing him ample ability to avoid, block, deflect, etc. Ijaa is also a skilled tactician, having a historical knowledge of battle plans and their effectiveness making him a valued member on the field for joint strikes. Ijaa has been known to be rather skilled at the art of information extraction whether that be through speaking or violence is for them to decide… Ijaa, like most Mandalorians is an honor driven man which can be either a source of strength or a source of weakness.

The Mandalorian has a glaring weakness which is his devotion to his brother. After his brother was murdered, Ijaa has developed a renegade side – often showing itself when information regarding his brothers’ killers is brought to light, causing him to make reckless and exceedingly dangerous decisions about how to act on the information without any second thoughts to the disastrous results that it could cause.

-M-1‘Vibroknuckler’
Name: M-1 ‘vibroknuckler’
Classification: Retractable Light Vibroblades
Manufacturer: MandalTech
Length: 17.78 cm
Composition: Durasteel
Power Source: MandalTech P40 Micro Power Cell
Description: The M-1 is lethal, effective, and inexpensive to produce. Like most vibroblades, it uses supersonic vibrations to further enhance its slicing and cutting power, rending armorweaves and other light body armors more vulnerable to such attacks. However, the simple M-1 was slightly lacking what Ijaa was interested in. Instead, the Mandalorian fitted an M-1 to each gauntlet held via retractable springs allowing the blade to be covert until the blades are sprung, giving him a much deadlier advantage in close quarters situations.


-Legacy Arsenal L41 P.D.W.
A simple, robust weapon, the L41 boasts low recoil, a high rate of fire, high muzzle velocity, and decent accuracy and range in a compact package able to squeeze into an oversized briefcase or backpack. Its small 5.8x30MM cartridge boasts excellent armor defeating abilities at the expense of stopping power. However, you'll be hard-pressed to find a sentient capable of surviving an entire magazine of these little rounds.

-SoruTech AS9 Valkyrie
SoruTech's AS9 is a modern slugthrower made to compete with blaster carbines for the role of personal defense weapon. Though it is made from lightweight polymers and alloys that would ordinarily make recoil more intense, it has been fitted with an advanced hydraulic recoil buffer and mechanical recoil absorption system that significantly reduce perceived recoil.

It fires a powerful 11x27MM cartridge at a muzzle velocity of 1,900 feet per second. Its magazine is a bit small, at only 28 rounds, but per-round stopping power is high. Armor defeating ammunition is standard for use in this weapon, which ensures that the AS9 is capable of defeating pistol-proof body armor.


-SuroTech AS30 Reaver[Rifle]
Built on an upscaled version of the AS9's reliable operating system and fitted with a similar recoil mitigation system, the AS30 Reaver fires a fairly powerful 6x45MM round at a blistering muzzle velocity of 2,850 feet per second. With long range, solid accuracy, and admirable anti-personnel capabilities, the Reaver is a workhorse ballistic weapon. Its tungsten-core armor-defeating ammunition is capable of making short work of most standard issue body armor and, like all projectile weapons, bypasses ray shielding without issue.

It can fit a wide range of optics and attachments, from high-magnification sniper's scopes to thermal optics to laser sights to grenade launchers. The rifle is as modular as it is rugged, and its low price tag makes it appealing to many a merc. As common as they come, the AS30 Reaver is in use all throughout the outer rim and isn't hard to come by in the Core, as it is frequently fielded by PMC's who anticipate hostile contact with Jedi or Sith combatants.


-Targus MFG M88 14.7x24MM Auto

The M88 was designed around the civilian 14.7 Auto round, which is a highly popular round used for everything from target practice to hunting light game to self-defense. While a bit slow and short-ranged, the round is heavy and powerful and has earned a reputation for being able to drop almost any man-sized target with one or two hits.

As such, the M88 was designed to be as sturdy and powerful as the round it was to be chambered in. A heavy but well-balanced recoil-operated hammerless pistol with a gently curving grip that soaks up recoil, the M88 is a pleasure to shoot and is nothing short of devastating in the hands of anyone with even the slightest bit of training. Its decocking lever and hammer indicator make it easy to tell whether or not the gun is loaded, while ambidextrous slide safeties, a palm safety, and an inertia-type titanium firing pin with a transfer bar all combine to make the weapon exceptionally safe. It will only fire when the safety is off and the trigger is deliberately pulled - accidental discharges are unheard of with the M88 family of handguns.

Trigger pull is crisp with minimal travel, though as the weapon was designed for Kushari weaker species will find that it is very difficult to operate the M88, with all its safeties taking a small degree of force to manipulate and the slide requiring considerable effort to operate. However, its heavy frame soaks up most recoil, and so even human auxiliary troops tend to find the M88 to be a very enjoyable weapon to shoot. The only complaint lodged against this weapon is that it is ineffective against armor, though its sheer knockdown power is usually considered to balance out that particular shortcoming.


-C/K25 Holdout Blaster
A tiny blaster designed to be invisible to sensors, this powerful little pistol is potent enough to kill a human, and this is a last-resort weapon with such short range that it doesn't even have iron sights. Reloading is facilitated by swapping out the entire central core of the weapon with a fresh core, as firing this pitiful little weapon seven times will destroy the delicate circuitry of the core entirely even though it doesn't drain the power cell.

Armor Specs (list):
Armor: Beskar’gam (Iron Skin)
Rating: Proof against low to medium powered Kinetic and Energy rifles and shrapnel.
Construction: Beskar, Durasteel, inside padding of Armorweave
Weight: Medium
Coverage: Full body coverage (head – including neck, torso, entirety of arms – including hands, entirety of legs – including feet)

Armor Systems: The suits environmental capabilities allowed the wearer to have resistance to both extreme heat and extreme cold, allowing Ijaa to be able to visit most planets without worry of overheating or freezing. The suit could be fully sealed, allowing Ijaa to survive in the vacuum of space for a period of time. Magnetic grapples are underneath each boot, enabling Ijaa to activate them at any time to remain firmly planted to the metallic surface underneath. The suits knuckle plates also had retractable vibroblades which provided him a deadly weapon in the event of close quarter encounters.

Helmet Systems: Ijaa’s helmet has an oxygen filtration system which allows the suit to filter out any harmful chemicals in the air (airborne poisons, natural air of the visiting planet, etc.) allowing for clean oxygen in most environments. The helmet also comes with a voice modifier, enabling Ijaa to conceal his true voice which also being able to imitate others voices as well. A rangefinder was built into the helmet allowing Ijaa to zoom in on distant objects, telling him basic information such as species, range from target, size, and the current movement speed of the target. The rangefinder can also lock onto targets, allowing Ijaa to constantly track them.

A Multi-Frequency Targeting and Acquisition System is included in the helmet, enabling Ijaa to see in the most dismal of conditions such as smoke, rain, and other such ‘blind’ situations and with the help of Holographic Vision Processors, creates holographic images of the surrounding terrain. The helmet also comes equipped with a built in communications system, enabling him to contact COs and other squadmates. Polarized lenses are also built into the helmet to protect against intense glares.


Helmet HuD:
Target identifying system in Helmet HuD: Friendly targets are outlined in blue, neutral targets are outlined in white, enemy targets are outlined in red, and important people/items (generally mission objectives) are outlined in gold.

A 3D Battlefield Map is placed on the lower middle with the targeting reticule dominating the center piece, above it is a display showing the direction in which Ijaa is traveling (North, South, East, and West). A suit integrity meter is located on the left side; with the radar placed in the lower left corner beneath it (the radar was also capable of scanning the HoloNet). O2 levels and toxicity levels takes its place in the top right corner with the atmospheric condition statistics underneath it covering the majority of the right side with the altitude monitor taking its place below the atmospheric condition stats.


Vision modes: Infrared, Thermal, Night Vision.

Overall Armor Description:
Ijaa’s Mandalorian armor is sufficed to say, not the most traditional looking Beskar’gam. However, it does have some iconic pieces of the Mandalorian armor such as the T-shaped visor which takes its place on a uniquely shaped helmet when compared to most other Mandalorian’s helmets. Connected to the helmet on either side of the T-shaped visor are two durasteel tubes which lead from Ijaa’s suit to his helmet which happens to be an exterior part of his oxygen filtration system. The body armor itself is a combination of durasteel with traces of beskar, making it sturdy and formidable with the inside being comfortably padded with armorweave. A leather girdle is also a part of the armor, holding ammunition and small amounts of explosives to be used as necessary.

The armor was is designed to increase Ijaa’s height from 1.81 meters to a bold 1.95 meters tall, aimed at increasing his overall physical presence. The armor was later painted red and gold. Red which symbolizes honoring ones father in Mandalorian culture was painted on to honor his adopted father and to redeem his biological fathers’ honor through his own actions. The golden trim is in honor of his brother as gold represents vengeance, something he deeply desires due to the murder of his brother.

A Mandalorian is a person of strength and of honor and these traits are not lost on Ijaa. Ijaa believes strength is everything, while not in the direct sense of actual physical power; Ijaa does not bother himself with the weak spirited for he believes them to be a wasted asset. Ijaa is also fiercely determined, believing that there is no greater shame than defeat and as such, aspires to dominate every battle he is involved in through historically proven battle methods. Retreat in his mind, is not a loss but rather a postponement of his enemy’s eventual crushing defeat – these traits of his make him a skilled tactician in battle. For people who have earned Ijaa’s friendship, many would call him fiercely loyal, willing to aid and protect his vod (comrades) no matter the circumstances.

Honor is a thing that Ijaa holds deeply to heart. He believes honor is everything and without it a person has no worth. As such, Ijaa attempts to perform honorable actions that will both honor himself and bring honor to his family name and to redeem his biological father’s honor. Ijaa also happens to be a bit of a charmer, with his good looks he is often capable of coercing the opposite sex into giving him much needed information but asides from his flirtatious extrapolations, Ijaa is relatively quiet, having a firm belief that words are only needed if they are necessary and that uneeded words should not be spoken.

The last pillar of Ijaa’s persona is his thirst for vengeance. His hate for his brother’s killers transcends all other ideals and beliefs. His absolute hatred is so consuming to the point that if any information is brought to light on the killers, Ijaa transforms from a tactician to a berserker, more than willing to send himself and his squad into the wake of an overwhelming battle just to reach any informant who may know anything about the subject regardless if it is impossible or not. Aside from this, Ijaa is a well-rounded, stolid yet charming, honorable man with a fierce sense of loyalty and a sixth sense when it comes to warfare and commanding others.

Rather than being born into the Mandalorian ranks, Ijaa was brought into it. Born to a poor farmer in a small agricultural village on a Mandalorian based planet, Ijaa seemed destined to follow in his father’s career of planting and harvesting crops. Fate, however, decided otherwise. Ijaa’s father was a submissive, broken man since his wife’s death during childbirth and through grief, never named his child outside of using the word Ad’ika (child or son). As utterly broken as he was, when thugs began to pillage his fields, the boy’s father offered no resistance. The thugs ultimately began to charge Ad’ika’s father for the ‘renting’ of ‘their’ land and being the man that he was, his father willingly paid the rent. However, the thugs were not complacent with their mediocre extortion and as a result they upped the rent considerably. Due to the meager wealth that his father generated, Ad’ika’s father began selling off his land to the thugs as well. Eventually, all the farmland that the boy’s father had owned was taken from them and when they could no longer pay for the rent, the thugs bartered for a different solution, the killing of his son.

There are few things in the world that can create a monster from a broken man like Ad’ika’s father, but the threat they uttered was enough for him to take physical action. He coerced his son out the back door and in the direction of a nearby Mandalorian base as the only idea of refuge as he attempted to subdue and kill his oppressors. This plan was easily foiled by the superior firepower of the thugs. The lad could hear the shots that marked his father’s death but he did not deviate from his appointed travel direction. The young boy eventually, after a day of trekking came in contact with a small Mandalorian scouting party which took him back to their base camp.

The Mandalorians were more hospitable than most would have thought them to be. They gave him his own bunk within the civilian barracks and attempted to find any known relative of the boys. After no relatives could be found, the leader of the Mandalorian scouting party that found him, named Marec Mereel, spoke the Mandalorian adoption vows and took him in as his own at the age of eight and bestowed a proper Mandalorian name upon him in place of the name he was never granted. The boy would be known as Ijaa, the Mandalorian word for honor, for him to pave the way to redeem his biological father’s honor and to create a new story for him, one full of honor and dignity. Ijaa was also bestowed with the family name of Mereel.

Ijaa grew alongside Marec’s blood son, Kando. Kando was a young, vibrant boy who was only a few years older than Ijaa quickly formed a bond with his adopted brother. Kando was unique in the sense that both of his legs had the proper neural network but were malformed as they only were formed down to his knees which were then strapped to thinly plated durasteel legs which did not have the same movements as a true human leg. The desire to help his brother is what sparked Ijaa’s interest in cybernetics and what ultimately led to his creation of more advanced prosthetic legs with the ability to perform at human levels (with the help of the head engineer of the Mandalorian base) for his brother as they got into their teen years, enabling him to take part in the Mandalorian ways and training.

Ijaa’s intense Mandalorian training started as he aged into his teen years. Starting at that period, Ijaa, his brother (who had already been training for a few years longer because he was older), and many other young Mandalorian boys took place in the rigorous training that would shape their lives. Ijaa and the many other hopefuls rose up to the occasion, working to enhance their body and mind and become living weapons to defend their homeland and to create their legacy. While Ijaa was still training on the base in both body and mind through intense training, historical lessons, and starship analyses, his brother had passed the rigorous tests and had been granted the ability to leave and take jobs such as mercenary and bounty hunting professions. While Ijaa worked to increase his skills, Kando took jobs as a bodyguard to protect higher ups of different worlds from assassination.

Another loss would eventually befall Ijaa though when he found out that his brother had been killed while protecting a senator on Coruscant. The rage and hate consumed him, furthering his determination and the speed of which he aimed to finish his Mandalorian training. Marec, his father, began to track down his child’s murderers through information networks and exacting vengeance for his loss. Ijaa, after finishing his training tattooed the Mandalorian skull symbol onto his arm and then crafted his own beskar’gam and painted it to honor his fathers and to show his expectation to exact revenge upon the killers of his brother and even tattooed the Mandalorian prayer onto his arm in order to honor his brother.

Ijaa began to petition the commanding officers for control of a vessel to have free leave to and from Mandalorian bases to both better aid the Mandalorians, pursue professional goals, and to hopefully one day exact revenge upon his brother’s killers. The petition was later approved and he was given a Firespray patrol ship. With the new ship, Ijaa set out to different planets in order to find his brother's killers while picking up several things along the way such as weapons, languages, and other such commodities. Ijaa now utilizes his newly acquired resource to track down the harbingers of his brother's death and give them the same fate. He desires his family's honor to be returned and in his mind, such a thing will only happen after their executions.

I hope it's decent. This is the first profile I've ever made and I've never role-played before in my life. I'm also sorry for any gramatical mistakes as I'm not the best writer. The same goes for the biography portion as well. All credit to Arcanine for the weapons portion.

I'm going to put Ijaa on the back burner (make him inactive) for an indefinite amount of time. Although he is fun as hell on paper, I don't think I have the necessary skill to RP a Mando yet and would like to get some experience under my belt before I comfortably attempt it.
