Draxen Keldar is a
tall, broad-shouldered Mandalorian with a
dark, battle-worn beskar armor that bears the
insignia of Clan Keldar—a mythosaur skull with crossed blades. His helmet features a
golden T-visor and a
scratched, angular design, hinting at years of combat. His armor is predominantly
black and crimson, with silver accents on the gauntlets and chestplate. He wears a
long, tattered cape made from the hide of a
Krayt dragon he slayed on Tatooine. His voice is deep and resonant, often modulated by his helmet's vocal encoder.

- Personal Items:

- Ship: The Crimson Fang (a modified Firespray-31 with stealth capabilities and a hidden escape pod)
- Acts: Draxen is stoic and disciplined, but his sharp wit surfaces when he's among trusted allies. He speaks sparingly but with authority.
- Thinks: Highly tactical and analytical; he prefers to outmaneuver opponents rather than engage in brute-force confrontations.
- Deeply Held Beliefs:
- "The Way is my shield, and my blade is my voice." (Loyal to the Mandalorian code but interprets it with a focus on justice over blind tradition.)
- "Trust is earned, not given." (Distrusts outsiders until they prove their worth.)
- Phobias/Fears:
- Fear of failing his clan (he sees it as the ultimate dishonor).
- Discomfort in crowded, unarmored spaces (feels vulnerable without his helmet and armor).
- Master Tactician: Excels in planning ambushes, setting traps, and exploiting enemy weaknesses.
- Elite Marksman: Rarely misses a shot, even in chaotic environments.
- Unbreakable Will: Endures extreme pain and hardship without faltering.
- Stealth Operative: Skilled in infiltration and silent takedowns.
- Overly Cautious: Sometimes hesitates to act if the risks seem too high, missing critical opportunities.
- Stubborn: Refuses to abandon a mission or ally, even when retreat would be the smarter choice.
- Distrustful of Authority: Has a deep-seated skepticism of governments and organizations, which can limit his alliances.
- Emotionally Guarded: Struggles to form deep personal connections, fearing they'll be used against him.
- Origins: Born on Mandalore during the Clone Wars, Draxen was raised by his father, Toran Keldar, a renowned warrior of Clan Keldar. His mother, a medic, was killed in a Separatist bombing raid when he was 8. This event shaped his distrust of outsiders and his commitment to protecting the weak.
- Key Events:
- Age 12: Swore the Mandalorian creed and began training under his father.
- Age 16: Survived the Siege of Mandalore by fleeing with a group of warriors to Concordia. His father died covering their retreat.
- Age 18: Joined Death Watch briefly but left after disagreeing with their extremist methods. Became a lone bounty hunter to avoid faction politics.
- Age 22: Slayed a Krayt dragon on Tatooine and crafted his cape from its hide, earning the respect of local Mandalorian hunters.
- Age 24: Uncovered a Sith artefact during a bounty hunt and destroyed it, fearing its power. This event reinforced his distrust of the Force and its users.
- Before RP: Was tracking a high-profile Imperial defector on Nar Shaddaa when his ship, The Crimson Fang, was damaged in a firefight. He's now stranded and seeking repairs while evading Imperial patrols.
