Faction Bushido | Iron Covenant

[Darion of Myrkr]

BUSHIDO​

After the Incident on Ryloth and the Skirmish at Dressel, the Mandalorian warriors withdraw to the frozen world of Kestri to prepare for the trials ahead. For too long, the clans of Mandalore have been scattered, divided, and hunted. Easy prey for the aruetii of this galaxy.

No more.

Across the icy strongholds of Kestri, the forgemasters ignite their furnaces. Warships are reborn in their fires and Beskar is hammered into armor and weapons worthy of a warrior. The clans sharpen their blades and steel their spirits, for war -- the truest proving ground of honor -- draws near.

Yet a warrior's own edge must never dull.

Within a snowbound valley of the Cin'haastal Mountains, makeshift gladiatorial arenas have been raised. There, Mandalorians gather to test themselves against one another in the purest art known to warriors: personal combat. A great tourney has begun, and from it one champion will rise above the rest.

For the Mandalorian, there is only one path.

Bushido. The way of the warrior.

[Signy Bralor]

SIGNY BRALOR
OUTER RIM | THE PIRATE'S MOON
TAG: Darion of Myrkr
VISIBLY PRESENTING: Deliberately ambiguous - fully armoured

Signy was ready for this tournament, she was fully armoured in her Bralor armor. On one of her arms she wore her buckler shield and in the other she carried a long curved combat knife that she held high in a ready stance with her shield forwards.

She adressed her opponent, a mandalorian she had never met before who stood nearly ten inches taller. She adressed him in mandalorian with her voice modulated to register somewhere between male and female so there was no assumptions to be made.

"Good luck, brother, here is to an honorable fight"

As soon as the announcement was made she engaged, trying to stay quick and mobile and leverage her speed and use of her shield to get inside his guard and deliver a blow for the round.

[Senec Ahn-Dross]

Senec Ahn-Dross
Kestri | Cin'haastal Mountains
TAG: Yael Kandar

A Breeze swept over him as he strode out into the arena that had been erected for the tournament.

Earth felt uneven beneath his feet, the ground was different than the paneled flooring of a starship. He was still less accustomed to it than the long halls and corridors. The Wind was different as well, there was no wind in space and on a ship your breath seemed sterile and still but not here.

When this tournament was announced his Alor and father, Naimes Ahn-Dross had entered his son to give him more exposure amongst the Mando'ade similar to his older siblings.

Now Senec was here in a windswept and snowbound valley of the Cin'haastal Mountains.

He wore his Beskar'gam, the sigil of Clan Ahn-Dross evident on its pauldrons but went without a buy'ce revealed rugged but handsome features and the thick beard that accompanied them. A Vibrosword, its blade curved into a faint crescent was held in his right hand at height with his hip and angled towards his opponent Yael Kandar when he saw them...

"Vod."

An acknowledgement. He studied whatever he saw; weapon, armor, features, etc.

Then the hum of the vibrosword became apparent as it was activated. Rolling his wrist he'd bring the sword into an agile flourish which ended by resetting the sword in the original position angled towards his opponent. Despite how uneven the ground felt beneath his feet the sword felt natural in his grasp.

When the time came he found his footing but his movements were stiff, his feet were still awkward planetside.

In contrast he was patient and approached measurably, his first attacks were a quick flurry meant to have steel taste steel and test his opponents guard so that he could look for openings or maneuver her into a place where he could capitalize on a mistake. The Vibrosword hummed and would visibly vibrate, the humming only increased whenever it made contact with anything; weapon or armor.
