Species and Gender: Falleen Male (Mando'ade)
Full name: Jax Xefern of Clan Xefern
Nickname(s): Jax'ika, but you'd better be family.
Age:28 (still considered young due to his species' longer lifespan and slower maturation)
Homeplanet: Concord Dawn
History: Jax was a war orphan like many Mandalorians start out as, found amidst the rubble of a battlefield as little more than a toddler. As is tradition amongst the warriors of Mandalore he was adopted on the spot with little more than a declaration of intent. His new mother, Fey'bel Xefern, worked to raise him alongside her daughter despite the developmental differences between the Human girl and Falleen boy.
Jax grew up as any other Mandalorian child, gaining his first blaster just as soon as he was large enough to lift one and being trained in the ways of war as well as the more mundane skills of life he would need among Mando'ade. Piloting, farming, basic mechanics, marksmanship, brutal hand-to-hand combat techniques, and various other skills. By the time he was 18 he was on the combat list for his Clan and working bounties. And he kept growing in skill... and size. Fully Mando'ade, Jax threw himself into bounty hunting and mercenary work, supporting his Clan's well being in the best way he knew how (turned out he was a terrible farmer).
Jax has garnered a minor reputation as a shrewd and dependable contractor, wise enough not to be backed into impossible terms and tenacious enough to always see the job through to the end. He hasn't worked for the kind of high end bounties that made Clans like the Fett's famous but he has made enough over the years to purchase and modify his own ship as well as a few clever additions to his armor. For the most part Jax has remained aloof of the Sith vs. Jedi situation. The Jedi can't pay for Sith hits and the Sith are notoriously difficult to collect bounties from safely.
Personality: Jax wears two helmets, or so the saying goes. One is for his family, the friendly and jovial son, brother, cousin, etc. Quick to smile, always ready with a joke or amusing observation, and reliable to a fault, his friends and family can set their chronos by when Jax says he'll get something done.
His other 'helmet', so to speak, is the one he wears for the rest of the galaxy. At once more serious and less reverent than his family demeanor, Jax's work demeanor is one of aloofness when being treated with fairly and dripping sarcasm when he senses he's being jerked around by somebody. He takes mild amusement in some of the things his targets do to try to get away or turn him from their trail, but nothing like sadism.
Physical Description: Jax is a powerful example of the Falleen species. At 6'8" and well into the 300lb range, particularly when in full armor, he is physically powerful and as dangerous as any Barabel or Trandoshan. Like most of his species he is considered naturally attractive due to the symmetry of his features, exotic looks, and ability to alter his skin pigmentation. His ability to produce his species' signature pheromones just helps things along when his personality turns out to be more annoying to potential information sources. Unlike most of his species he prefers to keep his hair short cropped.
Initial path: Neutral
Lightsaber fighting style: Throw for distraction and fire repeatedly with blaster.
Possessions: Mandalorian armor (beskar'gam), jet pack, beskar combat kukri, several personal blasters (access to Clan arsenal for special needs), full collection of armor modifications (including mini flamethrower, micro rockets, darts, whip cord, quick deploy garrote, etc), helmet with tactical computer (highdef sonar module, facial recognition module, ballistic weapon targeting assist, night vision, macrobinocular zoom function), and modified cloakshaped dropship that he usually operates from the Clan's Crusader-class Corvette, Final Contract.
Powers: Not Force Sensitive
