STRENGTH: Tal is a warrior that believes strength and might is all one needs. He is an extremely large Mandalorian warrior whose further usage of implants increases his strength to that of Herculean levels. 10/10
DEXTERITY: Agility is not necessary. He is a large warrior who leans on strength. He counts on his heavy armor to do much of his life saving. 4/10

SKILLS: Tal has a variety of skills ranging from skills with repairs to training in the medical field. Tal has enough training in medicine to make field surgeries as well as insert implants into the human body. He can patch up burns, cuts, and even severed limbs with little supplies.
While preferring to kill enemies up close and personal, Tal is skilled in demolitions. If given the supplies or military grade explosives there are few ships and buildings in the universe he cant bring down to the ground. He is also mildly fond of plasma and frag grenades.
Tal has some skills with repairs being able to patch up his armor, fix most weaponry, maintenance on ships, however, he cannot repair Droids as he does not understand the wiring well.
He has some piloting skills able to land a shuttle, but he is not fighter pilot.
LIGHTSABER/SWORD FORMS: Djem So
PERSONALITY: Tal is a strict follower of his own personal code of honor. Some parts of his Honor code are: he will always follow the orders of his superiors as he is a warrior not a thug, he will never kill an unarmed opponent as they are no longer worthy of death by his hand, and the weak are meant to serve the strong. He has no problem with slavery and even encourages it at times. The weak do not deserve their freedom.
Tal loves combat, loves battle, loves proving himself in the only true Mandalorian way, in the fires of war. He will fight any opponent with the knowledge that this may be his final fight, but he will make sure it is a fight that his opponent will never forget. There have been many times when facing a great opponent, he has spared them due to the respect they earn from him and his desire to fight them again someday when they have improved.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Strengths: Tal's mental state makes him utterly fearless in battle. He acknowledges the fact that he may lose and very well die, but that only excites him. To know that he may find the opponent that will give him the fight of his life, win or lose, he is always seeking a fight of a lifetime.
He is utterly obedient to his superiors as he sees Mandalore as the single greatest being in the universe and if an order is sent down to him, he sees it as the divine mandate of Mandalore himself. He seeks to someday prove himself worthy enough to challenge Mandalore into single combat.
Weaknesses: Tal's bloodlust can lead him into situations that could jeopardize missions, or cross lines with others earning him many, many enemies. Tal, of course, does not mind fighting them all, but that in itself is a weakness. Tal does not negotiate. The only time he "buries the hatchet" is when their is a enemy skull nearby.
LIKES AND DISLIKES:
Tal loves to prove himself in battle, but that is not all. He takes pleasure in fixing his weapons and armor, to add modifications to them, and to do maintenance on ships.
He enjoys good food and drink. He likes to eat, and is not a picky person. If they are field rations, he enjoys it, if it is a prime Bantha Steak, he will enjoy it.
Dislikes: Tal despises weakness. The weak are meant to serve the strong, that is a truth of the universe. He has no sympathy for those that dont fight for themselves. He dislikes the Jedi for this reason. He respects them as warriors, but dislikes them for fighting for the weak, all it does is make the weak, weaker.
COMPOSITION AND APPEARANCE:
Tal is a huge man standing at 6'10, weighing in at 299 pounds. His body is heavy with thick muscles running through his body. He has huge hands that have great punching power and can easily manage a death grip on an opponent's throat. His hair is a dark black that flows to his shoulders. He ties it into a ponytail when wearing his armor to keep it out of the way. He sees his hair as a badge of honor, and cuts it when he is defeated.. it has been awhile since he has had to cut it.
His face is broad and harsh. His forehead is slightly out, his jaw square and jutting, his nose flat from being broken many times giving him an intimidating almost caveman look. He has a dark 6 o'clock shadow that stretches across his large jaw.
GEAR:
Mandalorian Heavy Armor: forged from Mandalorian Iron, Beskar. (see picture for armor)
Mandalorian Assualt Carbine: A powerful blaster that has further range and accuracy than a common blaster rifle, but at a slower rate of fire. (See picture for weapon)
Vibro-ax: A Gamorrean axe that Tal picked up from the corpse of, well, a Gamorrean. Tal fell in love with the power and skill needed to wield the heavy weapon. Thanks to his strength and size he can wield the large axe with one hand, or two if he wishes to crush his opponent.
Frag and Plasma Grenades:
5 Frag Grenades
2 Plasma Grenades
BIOGRAPHY: Tal Verda, or Blood Warrior in basic, was born to Clan Verda, one of the first clans to join the new Mandalore. His clan is renown for fierce warriors, while not as disciplined as other Mandalorian clans, the Verda make up for it with pure rage and power. Clan Verda is one of the oldest Clans, but its numbers have dwindled to dangerously low levels as of late, thanks in no small part to their warlike ways.
Like all young Mandalorians his training started at a very young age of 7. His Clan's training was brutal teaching him that the weak are meant to be crushed under the boots of the strong. The children were beat to teach them to grow used to pain and ignore it, they were starved to harden their minds from the biting blade that was hunger, pitted against each other to ensure only the best became a Warrior. If you were victorious, you were fed. If you weren't, you starved.
He was taught the way of the Mandalorians, of war, honor, and duty. He learned of their glorious past, of the wars and honor earned through victory and defeat. He grew on the legends, dreaming to one day be a legend himself.. to fight in the battle of the age.
This was his life. Training, fighting, and earning what honor he could. At 16, he was sent on his first mission. Clan Verda was hired by a plant to settle negotiations with their neighbor... at gun pint. It was in this mission, that Tal killed his first opponent. A royal guard of the palace they were attacking. The man fought well, but was no mandalorian and fell under Tals blade. The feeling, the euphoria of triumph was beyond words. Blood was split that day, and a love was formed.
Tal left his clan to travel the universe, to challenge and kill opponents he deemed worthy. He fought in numerous arenas around the world. The Arena was a fine place, killing trained opponents as the weaklings watched from the sidelines. The awards simple: wealth, women and above all, Honor.
He traveled from Arena to Arena for 8 years before returning to his clan, to Mandalore's army. He did not agree with fighting the Sith. He saw it as indirectly aiding the Jedi, who he saw as weak. Tal had always liked the Sith. They were great warriors worthy of Mandalorian respect, but if Mandalore decided they would die by Mandalorian blades, then they would die.
Mandalore's word was final.
