COMBAT INFORMATION:
- Weapon of Choice: Partisans, spears, other staffs or polearms in combination with the Force.
- Combat Function: Functions either as a bodyguard or deployed to support a larger formation. Hemgo provides high levels of melee support as well as the utility of the Force.
- The Prudii'runi excels in close combat, armored combat, as well as use in the force to augment their strikes.
- Hemgo is protected by sturdy armor made of Beskar & Phrik, allowing the Prudii'runi to maintain a large amount of mobility.
- Hemgo has an exceptional memory enabling him to memorize complex schematics or a few pages of text in only a few minutes of study.
- The lack of heavy ranged weapons means that Hemgo is at a disadvantage against ranged anti-infantry vehicles.
- The Prudii'runi is limited to primarily basic force skills. Though masterful in what force powers he knows, he lacks the same versatility or raw power of true masters of the force.
- The Prudii'runi is a pariah within the Bral clan. The stigma associated with a connection to the force means that they are seen as a second rate member of the clan; it is rare that he will be supported except by direct order by the Alor. During battle the Alor cannot micromanage all of the combatants, which in turn increases the likelihood that the Prudii'runi may be left to combat an insurmountable force without the aid normally given to standard clansmen by their peers.
Purdii'runi (lit. Shadow Soul) - a designation for the lone force wielding member of the Bral clan. As the quasi-religious doctrine of the Bral clan states that the light from the Council of Stars (the belief that the fallen Mand'alors and heroes of old are represented in the stars above) does not shine upon the soulless outsiders (those outside of the Mandalorian culture). While this individual is recognized to have a soul, their soul is not considered to be pure and therefor is outside of the grace bestowed upon the fallen Mando'ade in Manda; their impurity shields their souls from the blessings and favor of Manda and their ancenstors. For their penance the Purdii'runi serves with every fiber of his or her being, devoting themselves to scripture, the clan, and warfare. Due to the rarity of force sensitives in the galaxy and the near certainty of execution by the forcing-hating clan Bral itself, there has only ever been one force using member allowed to live at a time. If there are two candidates for the title and position of Prudii'runi, then they are pitted against each other in single combat. Whoever emerges victorious is bestowed the title.
The Purdii'runi is rigorously trained in close combat as all of the Mandalorians in the Bral clan are. However, their training specifically focuses on combating lightsaber wielding opponents. To that end, they are equipped with a specially made polearm designed to puncture through gaps in heavy armor, slice through flesh and light armor, and become imbued with force powers to further increase the durability and versatility of their weapon. The armor of this individual is an ornately designed phrik plate armor in the Mandalorian style. When the Prudii'runi falls in combat or otherwise meets their end, the armor and weapon and retrieved if possible to be stored away until the next pariah may take them up in their penance. While the Prudii'runi is not a title with honor nor are they held in any high regard by any of the Bral clansmen, they are not assaulted by or chastised by the clan. Often the Prudii'runi remain silent, guarding a high value asset or acting as bodyguard. The individual may also be deployed on the battlefield as a way to even out the battlefield with other force-using adversaries.
Through the combination of expert implementation of the more mundane force powers, the high quality combat training developed over centuries in the Mandalorian culture, and a singular focus on reconciliation through warfare the Prudii'runi is an individual who should not be underestimated. Enemies of the clan who face the hooded zealot will not soon forget the encounter.
