I am Mensa Dak.
I am a Jedi padawan...kind of still looking for a Master (have taken applicants already, lol)
Mensa is a fundamentalist. He is also a relic, living in a time that he does not fit. Outsiders may see him as a Jedi zealot, believing in the Jedi Code and believing his sword is the means that brings change and cleanses the galaxy.
As for what I want out of the Republic...some blaster support since Im rated pretty high on the entire site in Makashi. (well there is that new Sith Acolyte that ranked him a 10 as a acolyte, I don't get how but Mensa will find him, lol)...just kidding on the blaster support too. Mensa force imbues and is decent in barriers to fill in (something that Sith can not do, lol)
I really want Mensa to grow with interactions with people and causes. I think Mensa growth in Makashi probably will grow more in 1x1 battles in private forums though. As of right now, he is a good swordsman to point at a target.
