Biography

Korun never knew his parents nor does he recall if he ever had a given name. His early childhood is dominated by memories of being a servant of one kind or another and being punished for being too slow and daring to retort. Pain and punishment dominated his life even then. The turning point and most vivid of his childhood was when he finally had enough and driven to the point of madness and near starvation had beat another slave for his rations. The punishment he could hardly remember, like a heartbeat he knew it had happened but knowing it simply throbbed and exhausted itself out. The rush of the next few days was more vivid. before he knew it he was surrounded by the dull hum of a spaceship and for once his stomach was full. His new master would feed him and care for him so long as they learned and trained, or so their twi`lek trainer stated. Korun was not alone in the group of 20 other girls and boys. So the next few years went by in a blur of physical activity and intense training. It was hard and there were others that he simply never saw again. Around 15 years of age he killed his first sentient. It was brutal and desperate combat between untested equals however something gave Korun the edge to survive and thus killed one of his fellow trainees. Overnight their remaining number was halved. If his formative years were intense then the next ones were unimaginable. One fight blurred into the next in a cacophony of violence , slaughter, and more training.

A breath, a heartbeat, an eternity later? It was an unusual day, he was fed and washed down. Clothed in new(er) clothes then lead down a corridor of the ship he had never been down before and up the turbolift.. he had never recalled going up. It was then he met his master so many years later. At first he was simply thrown to the plush carpeted floor a gammoreon on either side holding his arms while a third forced his head down, eye on the carpet. Still Korun managed to get a good look at the mans very fancy boots. "Let him up." He sneered in basic. The man's slim features were taught with muscle. Skin as white as the hottest start, hair darker the the blackness of space and eyes that matched the durasteel walls of his cell. Korun knew instinctively this man was evil and needed to die. The man clasped his hands behind his back and looked out the view-port for a moment "You are the last of the twenty others you have known. To think the least favored would become the greatest fighter and survivor. Continue to do well and you will live comfortably and that is all any of us could ask for no? I am a generous master and for this accomplishment you may have anything you wish. Well.." the mans face turned and smirked briefly at Korun "Aside from your freedom. You pose a significant investment after all." the man waited a moment then urged Korun "Well? Speak." Korun had hardly been ever allowed to speak let alone the impossibility of being able to ask for something and judging from the man's look he hardly had time to think. He cleared his throat, not trusting his voice to speak at first. "A teacher.. I wish to learn.. things." his limited knowledge unable to utter it in any other way. The nagai frowned a moment "A teacher? You have had many teachers.. ah you mean a woman!" he chuckled "Very well.. continue to do well and you will have what you desire." Korun was then lead from his master's office his face etched in his mind. He was lead to a new larger cell to be housed in and life went on as usual, training, eating, and sleeping. After his next bout his galaxy changed.

That was when he met Jupsole the female twi'lek. She of course had the same misconception that his Nagai master had, but after a bout of awkward conversation came to an understanding. She wasn't much more educated then himself, but she taught him all the same. They only had an hour or two each day and for the first time Korun held a conscious concept of time and more importantly something to look forward to every day. She taught him what she could and he learned about the ship they were on and the languages she knew and anything else. He was on a ship that held other slaves and a black market and existed as a center of all manner of criminal activity. It was an almost blissful year by comparison until one day she stopped showing up. Weeks went by on through their grind until one of the guards mockingly told him his girlfriend had be sold to someone else. In a blind rage he charged the force field guarding keeping in his cell and as the Force would have it a Republic corvette had dropped out of hyperspace and fire upon the aging ship damaging its power systems. As the ship blinked to emergency power the force field failed and he took out his weeks of anger and frustration out on the guard. Once his anger was spent he simply sat there on the dead man until a stun ray from the boarding party knocked him unconscious. He was processed at the nearest planet where they gave him a stipend and sent him on his way.He did what any sane person whose entire life was turned upside down would do. He found the nearest cantina started up a 'tab' without knowing what it was and proceeded to have himself a good drink. After nursing one for a long time he reflected on his total lack of knowledge on what to do next he gave himself a look around the place. A myriad of races he had only glimpsed at before were in the place and several he didn't know at all until his eyes ended up on a group of what he later discovered were Mandalorians. The other patrons seemed to give them a bit of a wider berth then some of of the others and he figured he might as well go and figure out why. Normally he wouldn't be quite so brazen but the buzz was a new experience and he sidled on over to the group and did what he thought was a polite request to join them. After some explaining they let him join, probably to satisfy their own curiosity once he looked back on it. They then had the short gritty version of the who and whats of the Mandalorian culture. To Korun it seemed like a good enough place. They could use someone like him and he didn't know of any other prospects at the time so he voiced his interest. As the force would have it they were heading back to the heart of the Dominion itself and offered a ride for a token amount.

Once on Mandalore he had to almost laugh a the similarities of his former life. It was a grueling process of boot camp training and vetting and getting used to a world without a ceiling was going to take some adjustment and he could certainly learn how to handle a blaster better. To their credit they made them passably efficient at it. Survival training was even more difficult for someone who had never had to hunt for a meal in their life let alone someone who hadn't even seen more then a single plant at a time. Using the selfsame perseverance that allowed him to live all his years he pushed on through it and resolved to study more on the subject. Finally after a year of the finest instruction that Mandalore could provide they cleared him as proficient in all areas required for duty.

Korun is of two minds about his new freedom. When he gets to explore it he is all wonder and awe and not without a healthy helping of naivity. Eager to learn and explore a world outside of violence and death. On the other hand being a soldier and a warrior provide a center of solidarity and comfort to branch out from. He himself doubts he will ever amount to anything to more then a trained killer. In social situation he is on unproven ground and often simply remains quiet until drawn out. Hutts and Nagai however have a special place of disgust in his heart.

Korun is trained fighter through and through. Raised to be a killer in the pit all of his training and what little education he received was to that end. A result of this is some things that would be common knowledge to someone growing up in the galaxy at large is lost on Korun. He is seeking to correct that, but it is a long road to understanding.

Hand to Hand: Overshadowed slightly by his use of blades a main discipline with his training is never truely useless without a weapon.
Primitive Ranged Weapons:More experienced with using primitive weapons such as bows, crossbows, and slug throwers for entertainment purposes. At a level greater then your trained soldier.

Greetings from the Mandalorian dominion!

I want to thank you for this profile, as the only major issue is one I have been wanting to clarify for some time. While I have no right or interest in speaking to your characters well developed past, his entrance into the Mandalorian Dominion doesn't work.

When the Mandalorian factions on the site were nothing but mercenary groups and/or terrorist cells, simply being recruited out of a bar fight to be a spare fist may have been more reasonable. However, the Mandalorian Dominion is a free republic in it's own right now, and isn't in the business of recruiting it's citizens out of prison cells.

We did however, in our first announcement on Czerka News, mention that temporary amnesty will be granted to any who wish to embrace Mandalorian protection and culture. Perhaps in his early exposure to the free world the simple values of pride, loyalty, and valour were appealing; perhaps he had run ins with Mando's who trounced him, then bonded over a drink and told him what being a warrior means. Or maybe he saw the epic battle between Talia Al'saif and Prudii Kyramud on coruscant, and felt akin to what fueled those warriors. OR maybe you can convince @Arclight or @Prudence to grandfather you into the Chosen or the Deathwatch. There are loads of possible solutions, but going directly from barfight to Dominion is unfortunately a line we have to draw.


Other than that, You just need to make sure your equipment section has a specific list of his usual equipment, with links to anything that is non-generic. The flavor text is fine but unnecessary.

Thank you! and just give me tag if you have any questions.

@Korun

Please add a little bit about how the Dominion changed him from a pit fighter to a true Mandalorian SuperCommando and we can approve this character for duty.

Thanks!
