HEIGHT: 5'11
WEIGHT: 185
EYES: Glowing Blue
HAIR: Brown
SKIN: Caucasian
STRENGTHS:
Physically: Having realized that the force wasn't always available Muad has trained his body to peak conditioning.
Emotionally: On the surface he reveals a "devil may care" attitude but deep within he has a wide range of emotions that he has learned to channel and focus.
Bladesman: From an early age Muad has trained in various forms of armed combat. Sword, lightfoil, lightsaber, and knives are a few weapons he's advanced in with and without the force
Unarmed Combat: Raised to be a weapon by the Perator of Cartann he was taught multiple martial arts including Teras Kasi. Muad learned Echani from his blood brother Dresdin Astil, an Echani Assassin. Having become mando'ad he's been indoctrinated into the art of brawling and wrestling.
Force Sensitive: Coming from two families with strong lineages in the force, Muad has a natural affinity and connection that is inherent.
Force Abilities: Having sought out and trained with Masters of differing sects he has a wide repertoire. Most notable among them are: pyrokinesis, mind trick, Hassat-durr, force lightning, psychometry, tutaminis, magnify senses.
Pilot: Born and raised on Adumar it was a part of his culture and upbringing to learn how to pilot a starfighter.
Personality: Muad has the tendency to be stubborn and strong willed. His loyalty to those who have earned it has given him unbreakable bonds with allies. No conscience and loose morals allow the freedom to be unpredictable.
WEAKNESSES:
Physically: Having been a warrior his entire life his body is a road map of the battles he's endured. His left shoulder often dislocates in heated, intense battle when under duress. Nerve damage in his left arm (from elbow to fingertips) have left him with both, a lack of textile sensation, and an occasional spasm which is detrimental in combat.
Emotionally: His upbringing to be used as a weapon, combined with the tragedy of his birth and his training in the Sith have left Muad emotionally scarred. Already considered insane, his inability to connect with most individuals leaves him as an outcast.
Bladesman: Having become an exemplary swordsman he often fails to utilize other force abilities while engaged in combat. Able to fight multiple enemies simultaneously at this time he almost always focuses on his skill with the blade rather then using external force powers.
Unarmed Combat: Once a fight has deteriorated to hand to hand combat Muad tends to go feral and attacks anyone in the vicinity. His strategic thinking goes out the window and he acts like a wounded animal seeking to destroy everything around him despite the consequences to allies, himself, or the mission.
Force Abilities: While Muad has a strong connection in the force and had studied both popular and arcane abilities there is one specific ability that neither he, nor any in his family are capable of using because they have no affinity with it. Telekinesis is this ability.
Personality: Being stubborn, sometimes interferes with his ability to follow orders. Often called a warmonger, Muad's love for battle sometimes overcomes him leading him to act in a daring and foolhardy manner. Being somewhat of an introvert he hasn't fostered relationships as he feels that having personal relationships (which he acknowledges can lend strength) is one of the ultimate forms of weakness.

BIO:
Beginnings
Born on Adumar, Muad Dib was the son of Jorran Dib, a Baran Do Sage of Dorin, and Aalya Vos, a Kiffar. From their families came two separate force traditions that believed that balance must be maintained. But the birth of Muad Dib changed everything. His parents died from an inferno that was started by their own babe. Bouncing around the orphanages of Adumar he was marked different. And people fear that which is different. So the child grew hard and viscious.
Killing all in the orphanage due to a buildup of gas,Muad escaped onto the streets a hardened killer at age eight. Finding a job in one of the missile plantsMuad was one of the testers of the 'duds'. By this time Muad could sense things, how they worked, and what benefit that had for him. He also found an affinity with fire realizing he could create and control it, and it never burned him.
But growing weary of the plant and the owner's sonMuad exploded a missile and the following destruction destroyed the entire plant. At the age of ten Muad had acquired a blastsword and begun dueling to survive. Being a natural he gained the attention and mentorship of a noble from the Tapani Sector who taught him the use of blastsword, lightfoil, and knife.Three years later he was a blastsword champion. Gaining note and fame he killed his teacher having learned all he could from the noble.
Jedi arrived on Adumar and found that Muad was a force sensitive. Telling the perator that the youth needed to be watched until they returned they left on a second mission from the council. They died on the mission and the council never learned of Muad's existence. Several Adumar nobles had Muad captured and tried to have him turned into their own force weapon having him brain washed, reprogrammed,and trained by experts in warfare, including a Taras Kasi master, who he killed when he gleamed all the knowledge they had to offer. Muad finally had a chance to prove he was the perfect weapon for the nobles. He proved it by killing them and escaping from the planet.
In the known galaxy Muad quickly gravitated to the criminals of Hutt space where he learned about the Sith. His hatred for the jedi found a soulmate in the Sith and so he made his way to them where he learned what he was meant to be.
A Sith
Growing strong in body, mind, and the force he made his way from apprentice to knight becoming the Mad Knight of the Sith, Darth Dementius. Leading attacks against jedi of different factions he slaughtered, maimed, and killed reveling in the chaos. The Sith were filled with many kinds but there was one who captured his focus. Arabella Darkhold. As they raged rampant on the galaxy they grew close and against all odds Muad fell in love.
Having a thirst for knowledge that nearly matched the monster within, Muad sought to excel at everything he could find. His original training began under Darth Yamato but quickly grew from there. Training under Koga he began learning the dark arts of alchemy and the joy of a kindred spirit in sadism. Under Garith Darkhold his power grew while learning the art of force lightning and the arcane ability Spear of Midnight Black. Under Master Ice, and the man's family, he experienced and grew in using the force to imbue his body.
At this point the Sith Order had grown stagnant and the new knights united as allies. A group of four knights cleaved together, Muad, Arabella, Dresdin, and Atin. As each followed different paths in the Sith many of their abilities were shared with one another. From his blood brother, Dresdin, he learned and began mastering Echani and was given insight into the Dread Masters and the Phobis Devices.
But as the Order splintered Muad continued to search out knowledge. From the Witches of Dathomir he trained under Santeria Decuir and Christin Draclau. He honed his skills with the Shapers of Kro Var and time spent with a star dragon. A visit to Tund taught him some of the arts of the fabled Sorcerers of Tund.
And yet he hungered for more. Training from Xander Starkiller, Bane, and several turned Jedi Masters strengthened the Mad Knight and grew his repertoire of skills and abilities.
And still he desired more.
Many occasions saw him seeking out knowledge and power, gaining several lesser holocrons (one of which taught him the ritual of BattleLord) and training with lesser known force sects such as with his mother's people, the Guardians, as well as from a Baran Do Sage, his own brother.
Alone
As one by one the Sith he held in esteem fell away he was finally faced with the truth. The hypocrisy of the Sith. Turning away from them the Mad Knight of the Sith left the decaying order and sought to find himself.
One such trip led Muad and one of his former apprentices to Tython where he journeyed the planet seeking the Temples. There he found a companion, a tuk'ata pup he named Traycn, and forged his own beskad which he had learned and seen used effectively by his former Sith pack member, Atin Kandossii.
After leaving Tython he returned to the Galaxy and wandered, unsure of his place. Traveling as sell sword and agent of chaos he gravitated toward the mandalorians. There he would find a home.
Mando'ad
Slowly he earned the trust of the Mando'ade. Earning brothers in arms in several clans Muad finally took up the mantle of a Mandalorian. Keeping the resol'nare he answered the call of the Mand'alor and went to war showcasing his abilities and ruthlessness.
Alor
During his time with his vode he fought the prejudices against force users and former Sith. Refusing to apologize and bend he chose to be true to who he was and yet keep the faith of his people. Gaining a reputation he found himself not only joining the Clan Farr but in time becoming their leader. Uniting his own group of Marauders and former Sith with the force weilding clan he became a true leader of his own people.
During his time he constantly fought with the Mando'ade against the sith and helped their allies despite the differences between the christened 'Mad Knight of Manda'yaim' and the lighter factions the mandos assisted.
Lost
The Nether World events that shook the galaxy sent Muad into a hell dimension. But after the events he found himself returned once more. Fighting with his brethren once more it wasn't long before he was again pulled away into another dimension where he toiled and struggled, ensuring torment, for nigh three hundred years. But he was again returned to the Galaxy and despite the time that had passed (both hundreds of years in the other dimension and years in the Galaxy) he came back physically the same as he had left.
But what he came back to was a galaxy that had not paused during his sojourn into the other realm. The mando'ade were scattered and divided. Manda'yaim was in ruin. And what he had once fought for was no more.
The Confederacy
Making his way through the galaxy he began to re-establish old friendships and reconnected with his clan. Muad began to build bridges with vode old and new. But it was when he answered the call of the Confederacy that the Mad Knight returned once more to prominence and a call to something greater then what he was.
Working up the hierarchy and proving his worth the Mad Knight quickly became Scion, the military leader of the Siskeen system, the Commander of Task Force Unicorn, and even a friend.
With the Incursion of the Contingency Muad assisted (depending on who you ask) in the destruction of Far Harbor Station as he took a stand with a group of diverse but like minded individuals within the bowels of Tartarus.
