A Present for our Daughter (Open to All Mandalorians)

[Tanith Alde]

@Vassera Raxis

It was a common enough occurence for a girl to choose to be a warrior in Mandalorian culture. It was common she be given weapons and armor, most of the time well customised for her. Such was it now, the clan gathering their most skilled smiths together to plan the forging of a new set of Beskar'gam for the Clan's Newest Warrior, one Ashtah Ordo.

 

[Tanith Alde]

Bruenor grumbled to himself as the plans were laid before him, it was a standard enough design as far as Beskar'gam went. Nothing too fanciful or new fangled, stury armor, some flexibility, and of course the much needed jet pack boots, and flamethrower gauntlets...Young uns these days, the ancient metalworker growled to himself as he looked at his stockpiles. He could get it done he decided with a frown as he grabbed his tools and go to work

 

[Arla Ordo]

Arla hard heard that the smiths were gathering. She came in to see how the newest member of Clan Ordo was faring and if the required metals had been gathered. When Arla had her armor made she chose to mine the ore herself perhaps [member="Ashtah Ordo"] was able to purchase the metal and if not then the Clan would gift it to her to have.

A mandalorian needs their armor. Green eyes looked ahead to where the group stood she walked up with her buy'ce already clipped to her belt, "Su cuy'gar" She smiled, "So what kind of design do we have here today?"

Arla looked down to see what was needed, "interesting"

"Aye. The clan's newest daughter needs her armor don't she? We are nay thinking of anything too fanciful. Something simple and sturdy, maybe with a little bit of a suprise, since she is young. Young ones these days aren't happy just having beskar'gam. They want all these gadgets and gizmos, over a suit of perfectly fine armor. " One of the smiths grumbled shaking his head at the notion as the redhead joined them

"We're ye thinking of helping or what?" Another asked her, glancing up from his work table

 

[Arla Ordo]

[member="Ashtah Ordo"]

"What metals are you thinking of using? phrik, beskar, there are so many, and do we have it on hand to gift or for her to buy?" Arla moved around, she knew about wanting gadgets but functionality and usefulness topped her list.

"What kind of gadgets is she wanting to have?"

She looked from one to the other?

"Beskar and Ciridum, as per the usual, we've got plenty on hand to make another few suits. She doesn't know we're making it for her, supposed to be a suprise you see. We weren't thinking of going too far, some additional mobility via jet boots, and we were thinking of lowering the overall number of plates, shes a medic and she needs to move you see. And a few little toys if she gets into trouble, wire cable, commlink ray shield on one arm, a flame thrower on the other, how does that sound? And the helmet would have a holonet uplink to use these remotely"

 

[Arla Ordo]

"Well my buir is a healer and she has an associate who is a first responder and their armor has things like, grappling hook, wrist rockets, wristed mounted flame thrower, a personal shield emitter, med pacs attached to the belt, jet pack, you know just because they are medics doesn't mean they don't come under fire they need to be able to defend themselves, as well as perform their tasks."

Arla wondered who was this girl that she merited being gifted armor, "who is this girl that merits such a gift" Arla smiled. She was the leader of Clan Ordo while her buir [member="Ordo"] was away so, was there something here that she needed to know.

[member="Ashtah Ordo"]

 

[Tanith Alde]

"She is Ashtah. Shes got the makings to be one of our finest warriors...Shes been going along with the warriors since she was 14, and shes been training since she could walk. The girls got a passioante, a need for this sort of thing, Only seems right to make sure she lives long enough to make something of it" The chief smith explained to her , leaning over the planning table slightly

Ashtah really was becoming quite something among the clan

[member="Arla Balor"]

 

[Arla Ordo]

All mandalorian children trained as warriors it was the way of life. Arla nodded, "ok." It was plausible yes. "Well then design to her needs" There was no need to tell them to do a good job, Beskar smiths always did a good job and it would be bad to say otherwise.

They held the secret for forging the metal the protected most of the warriors among the clans.

"Good, so anything else you think she'd want in her armor?" It looked like they had the design nearly ready.

[member="Ashtah Ordo"]

 

[Tanith Alde]

[member="Arla Balor"]

"Hmm we've been talking. She'll need to be able to move about, so we've discussed lightening the plates and focusing more on vital areas, rather than the usual complete body armor, like with teh Crusader armor. Think it'll help her out more, being a medic and such" One of them would add into the conversation, adding in his two credits, as the saying so popularly went

"Other than that? Can't really think of much else, unless you 'tend to suggest anything further miss"

 

[Arla Ordo]

[member="Ashtah Ordo"]

"I think you'll have it keep going, and let me know if you need more. We take care of our own." She smiled, but still stood there watching as they sketched out the armor making notes about what it needed, and what would work.

The beskar would work well, and stand up to a beating. Arla wondered something else, "Do you know what colors she will use?"

Arla used purple and black.
