HISTORY
A wise sage one said, "Everyone has some darkness inside. It’s like a hungry creature. It wants and wants and wants with a terrible power." For some, the struggle against the inner darkness is lifelong and constant. No truer existence of this kind lies with a young Mandalorian named Mircea Rau.
Decades ago, Mircea was born on the distant world of Panatha. His kind, the Vanr, had migrated there after their homeworld was ravaged. Many followed the future Sith Emperor known as Kaine Zambrano, who offered refuge to the dark-born species. Mircea was hatched from one of the first Panathan generations of his kind.
Yet, being a Vanr is not a life that is easy. Haven't been born out of the alchemical experimentations of the dark side, Mircea and his kind we're naturally drawn to the dark experiences of the Sith. As a youngling, Mircea was taught the harsh ways of his people with the intention of him becoming one in the new generation of Vanr warriors.
When he was an adolescent, his father forced him to join his clan in the next large campaign offered to them by their Sith overlord. This was none other than the now infamous attack on the Mandalore system. Mircea and his rookery-brothers were dispatched to the Mandalorian vassal world of Concord Dawn. Yet, despite a Sith victory, the mandalorians were able to cut down Mircea's detachment. As the only survivor, he fell into an immediate despair.
He was soon found by a Mandalorian who was a scion of Clan Rau. Initially, the warrior sought to kill the young Vanr. However, this Warrior of Rau saw Mircea for what he really was: a mere child forced to go to war. Taking pity on him, Mircea was controversially taken in as a foundling of Clan Rau.
At first, Mircea was not easily trusted by his adopted family. It took many years for him to build trust, and to learn the discipline in controlling the dark impulses rooted in all Vanr. He eventually became a great fighter in his own right, and when his adoptive father passed away, he was given command over Clan Rau's miniscule resources. With the Enclave, Mircea sets out to help his adoptive people into rebuilding. Partially, he feels responsible given his kind's participation in the genocide of the Mandalorians.
STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES
(+) Gargate Biology: As a Vanr, Mircea is blessed with many natural gifts. His incredible wings Grant him a natural ability to fly. His talons, tail, and horns offer additional forms of defense that are lacking in normal humanoids.
{+} Warrior by Night:] in combination of both of his heritages, Mircea is exceptional in his knowledge of battle. The Sith bred his people to be soldiers, and the Mandalorians that adopted him refined his skills.
{-} Hollow Bones: as a trade off to his flight capabilities, Mircea must contend with bones that are hollow like a bird's. He is more prone to breakage if hit too hard. This also makes him deceptively lighter than his perceived bulk.
{-} Call of Darkness: Despite being born without Force sensitivity, Mircea and his species were born out of Sith alchemy. He is naturally drawn to negative emotions such as rage and jealousy. He has learned to suppress this inner darkness, but it is a constant struggle not to give into the fury that taints his blood.
