Lex Solus (pronounced /L-eh-x Sol-uhs/) or Lexin Solus was a human male Mandalorian from the planet Mandalore. He came from a long line of Mandalorian warriors tracing back to War Councilor Drace Solus himself, the legendary commander part of the clan that terrorized the Sith Empire for years. Lex was born into a family of proud Mandalorians and raised to conform to the traditions and religion.

He remained in Mando space after turning 18, spending the time training in a military academy, then left to work as a hired gun to partake in conflict, echoing his father's beliefs that the never-ending war for justice is what builds character, and that a true warrior should always seek out battle. Despite his activity throughout the Galaxy, Lex still finds time to come home, and operates from the planet.

B A C K S T O R Y

The masses of fierce warriors that brought empires to their knees. The armor-clad beasts, the barbarians that have spent their entire history struggling to tear civilization to shreds. The remarkable guns who have kept the Galaxy's underbelly in business for centuries, and have aided in orchestrating countless power grabs.

There are many ways to perceive the Mandalorians, and they are the subject of much controversy. Most everyone in the Inner Rim will have an opinion regarding their neighbors, despite having most likely never met one. Those in the Outer Rim, the ones who do interact with the Mandalorians daily, will tell you they have no opinion, on account of them being such solitary and secretive people.

As a people, they have been shrouded in mystery and legend, treated as some sort of myth. But they are real people, with real lives, who grow and live according to a set of unique beliefs that cement them--in their opinion--to be the Galaxy's finest.

Lex is one of them. He was born on Mandalore in one of the few settlements that remained amidst the endless wasteland, to Mandalorian parents, and grew up according to Mandalorian beliefs. He played with blasters ever since he was an infant, made his own vibro-blades when his age wasn't even in double digits. Despite the blatant danger, and the arguable effect such activists can have on a young mind, his parents actively encouraged his penchant for combat, putting him in training just as he was starting school.

He excelled, slowly becoming a disciplined--and perhaps a bit rowdy--young man, intelligent and fierce as any of the greatest Mandalorians the Galaxy has met--or so his mother claimed. Lex was not fortunate enough to travel to Concord Dawn and tame his own dire badger as is custom due to dwindling animal populations on the moon, but he had gone through every other trial and tribulations of a soldier of Clan Solus and excelled.

He finished military academy two years after finishing academic studies. An expert on combat strategy with the skills of an unforgiving warrior, he set out to become a bounty hunter as most others his age did. It was not a path he had wanted for himself--the Mandalorian would have thrown on his armor and headed to wrangle the Empress with his bare hands if he could--but it was the only thing he could do to at least experience the conflict that his father said built character.

A P P E A R A N C E & S K I L L S

Handsome and youthful despite harsh bootcamps and many bruises, Lex is in top shape for a 21 year old. Exercising daily and running a strict diet, he takes great care of his body in hopes of promoting a healthy mind. He knows how to operate a ship's cockpit like a navyman, can hit a womprat from the other side of a podracing track and has crawled through more swamps than a dragosnake.

His mind stays sharp, fueled by years of education that he threw himself into. He knows to name all the major planets on a map, or to assemble a blaster from pieces, practicing on every model he comes across. Lex keeps himself up to date on politics and researches history in his free time.

He is very determined on making himself the "ideal warrior" in hopes of partaking in another Crusade that some murmur about in taverns. Lax lives fueled by a mixture of disdain for the Sith, honor of his roots, and spite, but is not a very bitter person to most.

Many claim Mandalorians are not sociable. That is not true. Though a very exclusive group, Mandalorians are known to throw the craziest parties, and form the tightest bonds--so is the relation between warriors. To dar'manda, he may come off as cold and reserved, though he is perfectly aware that partaking in the Galactic society around requires interacting with strangers, so he is a tad warmer than most other Mandalorians.

His hatred for Force-users extends to Jedi and not just Sith, remaining not only skeptical but outright hostile when it comes to Jedi, as is and has been the Solus way since the clan's inception. He loathes Jedi and their allies, and thus harbors dislike for the Republic and Free Worlds Alliance. His political views were many and varied, and he loved to share them with strangers in exchange for drinks in a cantina.

A true hardliner, he dislikes the New Mandalorians, the Faithless, the peaceful cowards who believe their people will be salvaged by forsaking their traditions and gods. Not afraid to state what he thinks, he sometimes acts on impulse and lashes out to the detriment of his reputation among his compatriots, and many consider him to be nothing more than an idiot with a feeble mind. He doubts himself sometimes, and the doubt nags at the back of his mind constantly, and he ignores it, though it threatens to one day consume him.
