figured I would make something for those mando rpers who want to be a little... less rigid with tradition
"The dragons"
Clan varsuuth
House Var'suuth, is a group of mandalorian tribes united under the promise of glory and power by Cremek candorus. comprised of a good number of force sensitives, House varsuuth aims to prove that the force is not a sign of weakness, but rather a gift one must hone.
varsuuth origins: the twins
A small union of two clans united in the marriage of their ancestors, and have been closely knit since the rise of the first empire, promptly named varsuuth, or sometimes lovingly referred to as "the clans of pirates, dar'manda, and kriffing heroes." They are one of the last vestiges of Concord dawns famous journeymen protectors, and thus have a small number of super commandos, or descendants of them, in their clan.
The twin clans colors reflect varsuuths values: Justice, a new start, a love of life, and honoring those who came before.
Black and White, or Red and Orange respectively, depending on which side in The twins the respective mandalorian identifies with.
Their signet is the krayt dragon, reflecting their desire to evolve to an ever changing galaxy.
A popular phrase amongst the varsuuth clans members is
"The twins carry their homes in their ships."
this reflects the twins tendency to not settle, wandering from world to world in the mandalorian space, applying as mercenaries but when they must gather, or an individual must settle, they often meet on the planet of concord dawn itself, where they have a small territory claimed as their own.
The twins have a small collection of ships and frigates the clan members lovingly regard as "the migrant fleet", which serves as the primary hub for the twins to do business with the rest of mandalorian space. They often patrol from Concord dawn and spots they can do business to get their hands on ever precious songsteel.
varsuuth has had a long history of being far more accepting of potential mandalorians than most, but they are ruthless in dealing with those that violate the six actions, those that intentionally do so of their own free will, and willingly avoid seeking atonement, are swiftly hunted down and killed, traitors have no place amongst the twins, they also give the same treatment to "false" mandalorians.
The varsuuth smiths have long been knowledgeable in the art of forging masterwork songsteel items, weapons, bullets, armor reinforcements, keeping it an extremely guarded secret, a Twin smith learns their technique from an elder smith who selects them at a young age, they commit the process strictly to memory, though most of their training is resisting interrogation.
A popular saying amongst those who have purchased their work, building on an already popular saying goes:
"if you want someone dead, you call an assassin, if that person is a jedi, you call a mandalorian, but if its a mandalorian, you talk to varsuuth."
Finding its origins during the reign of the first galactic empire, Clan candorus was formerly known as the proud clan known as reaver, they refused to bow the knee to the empire, and were nearly wiped out, save for a few members, their closest ally, the tepmuarts, despite being imperial supporters themselves, took the only survivors in, two children, and raised them as their own. When one of the surviving reaver children, who would later become the patriarch of the newly resurrected clan reaver under the clan name Candorus, (after much tribulation) succesfully married the chief of clan tepmuarts duaghter, It united the two clans, and they have worked as one to this day.
The twins are well known for producing force sensitives, due to the legacy of clan Reavers founding matron being a former jedi herself. Therefore they are more knowledgeable of both jedi and sith, and less weary, as they have had family on both sides of the force, with phenomoly more sith than jedi, due to the jedis principals not allowing things the clan considers paramount, the sith on the other hand, usually tended to allow one of their clan members to return ever so often, they also share similar principles of combat, as long as each member obeys the six actions, they do not care, they see the force as a potential new weapon or tool, a weapon should be honed, not shuddered from, only hut'uuns ignore potential opportunity.
occupying a odd place in the eyes of other clans, the twins are regarded with a mix of respect, because varsuuth have a reputation of producing heroes, the pinnacle of what it means to be mandalorian, and disgust, due to their tendency to work with the sith order when one of their ilk is force sensitive. Some mandalorians regard them as just barely not dar'manda, while others acknowledge their flaws but respect the clans otherwise honorable history.
House varsuuth mandalorians are brutal, there is no sugar coating it. They are comprised of warlords and conquerors, and they are known for being noticeably more bloodthirsty than most mandalorians, though this is only one part of what they are, as well as the six actions, all clan varsuuth are expected to act accordingly. varsuuth only recognizes the rule of the strong, yet the surest way to earn a varsuuth mandalorians friendship is to actually push back, respond to strength with strength.
"For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack."
