Character History[edit]

Childhood and Birth[edit]

Kal Vau is a Mandalorian. He was born and raised on Coruscant by his Mother, Arla, and Father, Bralor. They were exiled from Mandalorian society when it was believed that they had betrayed their clan. As a result, Kal was brought up in hiding on Coruscant, although his parents continued to raise him as a Mandalorian child, teaching him the art of combat from a young age. Kal lost contact with his parents after his 13th Birthday, the went to the shops and never returned.

Hammers Fist[edit]

Kal sought a way to fight honourably as with all Manadlorians, and after doing various pieces of mercenary work from a young age, he found that there was very little honourable combat in the universe outside of the serveral armed forces groups. As a result, at the age of 19 he joined the Hammers Fist Legion. He passed the Imperial Officer Training Course, and was given command of Redemption Platoon. Pursuing his studies he proceeded to become proficient in Demolitions, Close Combat and Heavy Weapons, along with various levels of specialist stormtrooper training, knowing that one day he would want to join the special forces arm of the Hammers Fist.

Physical[edit]

Kal Vau stands at an imposing 190 cm tall, with a strong musuclar build, weighing around 90 kg, all of it muscle. Like most Mandalorians he is extremeliny intelligent and well versed in combat arts being trained for combat and endurance from early childhood. He has shoulder length light-brown hair which he usually wears in a clean pony-tail. His eyes are a mix of ice blue and grey, he has a squared off jaw and square shoulders.

He has several tattoos on his body. The prominent ones are the Mandalorina emblem of a Mythosaur skull tattooed across his shoulders

Mythosaur tatoo across Kals shoulders
"Ib'tuur jatne tuur ash'ad kyr'amur"
— Today is a good day for someone else to die - inside of the right forearm
"Ba'jur, beskar'gam, Ara'nov, aliit, Mando'a bal Mand'alor- An vencuyan mhi."
— The six actions - inside of the left forearm

Personality[edit]

Kal has served in a command position for 6 months this combined with his Mandalorian training means that he respects anyone in a position of command authority. He will not follow them blindly and is willing to sacrifice his life for the legion but he will not let his personal feelings about the commanding officers get in the way of a mission but is never afraid of voicing his opinions on missions to his superiors, whether they want him to or not. He is a career soldier and will never disobey a direct order unless it is a suicide mission or he has other orders that supercede the ones that he is given. He is not subtle and will often take the most direct approach to solving a situation, usually through the use of direction action or superior firepower. He is capable of thinking on his feet but is always willing to fall back on the advice of other officers or NCO's in the field but when he is pressed he will always fall back to the fastest loudest most effective method of solving his problems. Kal is known for being short-tempered and is often considered rude by other members of the Hammer's Fist but those who know him know that he doesnt mean it personally. His black morbid sense of human and brutal nature in combat earned him the nickname Psycho.

Memorable Quotes[edit]

After being saluted in the city of Er 'When you are in an active Area of Operations do not salute someone, it makes me a sniper target, and that makes me angry...you wont like me when im angry'

When asked what the plan is 'We walk in, i start hitting people hard in the face and we see where it gets us'

Weaponry[edit]

Kal has two personal sidearms, when he is on base he uses his personal DC-15s blaster. He upgraded the power slightly but it is essentially the same design as those used in the clone wars. When he is in the field he uses a DL-44 blaster pistol he keeps it in a sullustian leather thigh holster. He has 2 primrary weapons which he changes depending on his assignment, either an E-19 with an underslung concussion grenade launcher or a Korikar Dh-112 Sniper Rifle. He also keeps a a vibroblade just over a foot long on his left hip, he also keeps a vibroshiv on his utility belt. He also carries several conussions grenades and a small assortment of demolitions tools suitable for creating booby traps.

Kal's Armour and Uniforms[edit]

Kal's Standard Armour utilises the Urban Camoflague print as most of his units operations take place in urban environments. He wears the traditional Mandalorian kama with his armour and has a Mythosaur Skull painted on the back of his helmet. The armour is a slightly modified version of the airbone armour. Kal managed to convince the engineers to add macrobinoculars and a range finder to his helmet. The visors have been changed from the standard black to red.
