Detailed notes:
+Armored Combat style: Especially after the creation of his Dragon beskar'gam Nox's combat style further shifted to suit its design. Because of its considerable durability, but additional weight. Instead of deflecting or defending against most weapons, he adjusts his body slightly, enough that the attacks land on the harder parts of the armor. This allows him to continue attacking without the delays or distractions of a full defense. This style doesn't work so well unarmored, and so is often replaced.
APPEARANCE:
Nox is a pale man with white hair and pale eyes. He has a scarred face, a wide number of burns on his body, lost both his legs, and has a determined gaze. He is not exceptionally tall but he is fairly built. He is often wearing full or most of his armor and a number of weapons.
BIOGRAPHY:
Nox’s mother was an Arkanian, though she was born elsewhere, she had been adopted by a mandalorian and raised as one. His father was an offshoot of Arkanian as well, but unlike his mother he was not raised on Mandalorian culture. However due to his love for the woman, he was willing to follow it to the fullest extent. As a result, Nox was raised among them. He always specialized in figuring out how to take hits in just the right spots so that he could dish out his own a moment after. He did not lean towards any one kind of weaponry, and tended to use a lot of different kinds in a single fight. Although he was trained to use one, he didn’t always carry a Beskad on him unless he knew melee combat was coming. For most of his life, though skilled, Nox was not well known. And he was not known to brag on what achievements that he did have, only bringing them up if he believed it was useful, or worth using in conversation.
It was only by the time Nox turned 42 that he gained any true fame or achievement. He heard of a creature from a traveler, powerful, dangerous, intelligent. Known as the Vran’Ti Sky Dragon, the Shgurak. He went to this world, remote as it was, and almost immediately trouble began. He landed it in the mountains, stealthily. However, upon leaving the ship he discovered strange people. They seemed to be shrouded in shadow in the broad daylight as they approached him, hunched over in their slow and pain-filled steps. Their very presence seemed to burden him. Their aged faces had so little life in them and yet felt so strangely young. They spoke in a tongue he did not understand, and continued to approach him. His body grew tired in mere moments but as he raised a blaster to them they backed off. But did not leave. Remaining at a distance at all times. He moved his ship to another mountain, and there he ran into more. So on to another, finally seeming to have gone unnoticed.
Well, at least by whatever those people were. Because only thirty minutes into the hunt, the ground beneath him moved. A wing lifted below him throwing him off balance. As the ground churned beneath him revealing what he thought had been more red dirt, was a dragon hiding beneath it. It rose above him, releasing a warm breath. And now he realized just how dangerous this battle was really going to be.
And it did not go nearly as well as he’d hoped. The large energy cannon he’d brought was like trying to toss water on a flood. For each few shots he sent its way it threw him another hundred yards with a mere flick of its wings or covered him in so much fire he could feel his body singing even inside his armor. He was forced to toss it aside to try and evade the claws it brought towards him, ripping off a part of his armor from its sheer force and nearly throwing him against the ground again. He eventually managed to hit it in its eyes, a harder feat than one would expect, when the creature was almost constantly on the move and could simply close its eyes most of the time making almost any energy based weapons pointless. It was of great fortune that he had brought his Beskad and a vibro-dagger this day. He managed to launch himself to its head, only to have his legs caught by the creatures massive mouth, he felt even his armor bend against its jaw strength. He swung for its head, stabbing and slashing as as much fury as he could with the weapon as he felt his legs break and squeeze under its power. In a last ditch effort her launched every rocket at its head and then threw the vibro-blade at the finally more sensitive area. As the dagger tore through its finally revealed brain it gave one last snap of its jaw tearing his legs almost completely from his body leaving him bleeding and nearly dead himself on the ground.
He called his ship to him, and immediately had the medical droid began to help him. His legs were lost, but the droid explained in what moments he had left awake that it would likely be able to save him. He ordered to have the dragon taken off planet by the cargo ship he’d had nearby, and then passed out after the ship was set to auto-pilot to the last landing port.
The Cargo ship itself also barely made it out, getting attacked by a local Vo Ni and his forces who realized what had happened. And as a result Nox ended up having to pay them far extra.
Though he had lost his legs in the process, and nearly died, Nox’s defeat of the great creature on his own and actually managing to leave the planet alive afterwards, earned him a final amount of respect. And as a result of this achievement he would use the creature as his symbol, having it painted on his armor as well. Although, he knew he would likely never return to Vran’Ti, as the fact they even went after the Cargo Ship made him realize they would not take kindly to the person who actually did the killing. It took awhile for Nox to heal, and get back into the rhythm of life. But he eventually did. Selling off the meat of the creature and things that would not last.
After awhile of getting himself back together, Nox set out on a journey, a hunt. But during this hunt a war between Mandalorians and Sith occured. A war, in which both of his parents perished along with so many of the other mandalorians. Nox had set home immediately but by the time he returned the war was over. So much was lost, but his clan remained. And to that he would still aid, while hating the Sith for their actions.
