Physical Description:
Joran is man that was clearly made to be a bounty hunter. His broad chest, large defined arms, ripped stomach and back he makes him one imposing figure. His chest is a collection of toned and defined muscles, making him look as though he could punch through a plate of Durasteel. His arms are long and riddled with muscles, enough to hold a blaster cannon single handed and not topple over with each shot. He often wears a smile on his face that makes it seem as if he wouldn't trade the job for anything in the world, a sinister look that seems to look through the being in front of him, and only to see the credits they represent. Joran's eyes tell a different story though, his eyes are deep brown pools of pain and regret over a past not many know, and those who do, know better then to speak of it.



Armor:

Joran’s prized black and red armor was given to him by his mentor just before he left his home to go travel the stars. The armor cost more then your average gambler makes in a year, even if they won the sabacc international...Twice. The metallurgist was a Mandalorian by the name of Merrick, he built Joran a suit of armor that could out perform, out withstand anything and anyone with a grip and an attitude.
Merrick had been living on Dantooine away from his clan because of injuries sustained in the line of duty, Merrick had lost an arm and leg while helping to over-throw a Tyrant. It took Merrik almost a full year to create the armor, the combination of metals could only be worked by the finest of craftsman, and only with the greatest of care

Weapons
The Deliverance
Joran owns a modified DLT-20A blaster rifle, the DLT-20A is a formidable weapon in its own right, combined with the modifications Joran put on over the years, its down right scary to be on the wrong end of. While most standard blaster rifles come with a restrictive capacitor inside the weapon to keep the user from going over board with the power of the blast, and to protect from over heating the rifle. Joran felt this to be a hindrance to his efforts and removed it completely, replacing the energy matrix from the rifle with one from a small grade blaster cannon. The new energy matrix was surprisingly smaller than the stock version the weapon came with, leaving room from Joran to install a cooling unit from a prototype cryo gun.
The new cryo cooler that Joran installed allowed him to turn the power up to twice the safely recommended settings allowed. The cooler unit allowed the rifle to be safely fired for longer durations without causing the energy matrix to overheat and explode. With all the things installed into the rifle, the weapon became nearly three times as heavy as it would have been normally. Making it extremely difficult and unruly for people not prepared. The weapon is like a third arm to Joran, and he is rarely ever seen without it in hand, or slung across his back by the heavily leather strap attached to it.

Joran Also owns a pair of VibroDaggers. Each of the twelve inch blades hang comfortably on either hip. The blades were crafted by a master blade smith who generations before the rise and fall of Revan was cast out of the Jedi order for his potentially dangerous points of view. He crafted them in the fungi forests of Fellucia. They were designed with a curving angle used for cutting, the tips are weighted to make the rending of limbs much easier. The blade is made with a sliverite and electrum strip running along the blunt side. The handles are carved out of rancor bone, plucked from the chest of a record setting size beast from Fellucia. The handles are wrapped in stained leather, used for easy grip even in harsh environments. The leather has been stained black with electrum piping running horizontally across the handle in a ascending fashion

Biography:

Joran Del-Finn was born on Dantooine to a young mother who had fallen for a rugged Mandalorian bounty hunter named Lomas Del-Finn who along with his mentor, two brothers and his nephew made the planet a temporary home. Lomas met Joran’s mother the first night they were on the planet and within a month the two were married and expecting their first child; Joran. Before Joran was born however his father had left to pursue more work to keep his family supported.

Lomas’ mentor an elderly man of around 50 named Merrick elected to stay behind and help raise Joran as Merrick had been injured beyond the point of being able to keep up with the younger mercenaries during a mission to liberate a small outer-rim planet from it’s dark Jedi dictator. Merrick raised Joran in the traditional ways of Mandalorian culture; learning the importance of loyalty, family, combat and hard work, through the lessons Merrick taught him and from the household chores he was given which included helping his mother with farming the land and raising livestock.

For the first few years of Joran’s life his father would come around occasionally, usually for a couple weeks at a time as he was oft commissioned for jobs that took him off-world for months at a time, which left it to Merrick to train Joran for his Verd’goten. The 5 years of training were incredibly grueling as Merrick was a harsh and strict mentor when it came to teaching young Mandalorians the art of war and survival. When the time had come for Joran to under-go the Verd’goten he was sent to the wilds of Dantooine to hunt, kill and bring back an adult horned-kath hound which he did while only receiving some minor wounds and a few scars. For the next couple of years Joran spent time helping Merrick in the cantina the elder Mando now owned; developing a taste for liquor and the criminal element.

On Joran’s 16th birthday his father announced that he had been made Major domo to a mid-level Hutt who’s star was on the rise and that he would be taking Joran and his mother to Nal Hutta. Merrick elected to stay behind as his cantina was doing smashingly well. before Joran left the aged hunter gave him his old set of black armor and his rifle the two men embraced for what both figured to be the last time and Joran left with his father and mother to his new home.


Nearly as soon as Joran had reached hutta and settled in he was set upon by his father’s new employer and was asked if he wanted to work, Joran seeing no alternative said yes and became the newest smuggler under the Hutt’s employ becoming an apprentice of sorts to a Houk pirate by the name of Rendar Fortune. Rendar was the owner of a freighter that at one time been used to ship slaves ironically named “The Perseverance.” for Joran the job was an absolute blessing, it took him to all reaches of the galaxy and put him in contact with some of the finest liquor and women he had ever tasted and he was immediately hooked. The two smugglers quickly became Valturla the Hutts favorites due to their tendency to get the job done and get it done faster than the rest, the two also developed a sort of familial bond, with Rendar affectionately nick-naming Joran “Flash” because of the young man’s flamboyant nature and knack for blowing things up.

For years the pirates made most of their runs without too much trouble, they had run into a few close calls here and there but Joran managed to avoid detainment or being shot. Their luck finally ran out, Joran and Rendar were boarded by Local authority and things escalated quickly. A shoot out aboard the ship began, ending with the cops dead and Rendar wounded. Joran dumped the dead bodies out of the airlock, boarded their vessel and follwed Rendar to their drop destination and sold everything on the ship. The incident had stirred something in Joran, something he could quite put his finger on, all he knew is that these simple smuggling runs weren’t enough any more so using the credits he had accumulated over the last 2 years he took a break from smuggling going to Naboo to enjoy the scenery.

On Naboo Joran found more than calming landscapes, he ended up falling in love with a young woman who was infatuated with Joran for more than his credits and dangerous lifestyle. she was Selonna Lyell and in Joran’s mind the sun rose for her every morning. The two spent every day together for a month and like his mother and father before him were married shortly after with Joran staying a year on Naboo with his wife and even having a child of his own a daughter named Ariyah but soon after she was born Joran, like his father before him left once again to keep working, though not content with just smuggling Joran and Rendar branched out and began taking up bounties.

For the next 3 years Joran and Rendar took whatever jobs they could whether they came from the Hutt or an outside source; no matter if the jobs were running illicit goods or finding and killing someone for profit.
Six years after Joran had left Dantooine, he found out his father figure and mentor Merrick had been murdered. The news hit Joran hard, he spent his time on Naboo with his wife and growing child, sinking into depression and alcoholism as he grieved for Merrick. His wife getting fed up with Joran’s drinking and dangerous profession told him he needed to give it up or she would leave him. Joran, who didn’t actually think Selonna would follow through with her threat, went off in search of Merricks killer. He was in complete disbelief when he returned to their home after the leads went dead and found both her and their daughter gone with no note. leaving Joran no way of finding his wife or child.

With Selonna gone, and Rendar retired, Joran took over as Captain of The Perseverance. Only a few months into going solo Joran found himself on a supply run for the Sith, he was tasked with delivering weapons and goods to a Sith encampment. How ever when Joran arrived the camp had almost overnight been overtaken by the republic, he landed his ship unaware of the change until he opened the cargo hatch and was faced with blaster rifles staring him down.

Joran not being one to make anything easy however tried to make a break for it and in the ensuing chaos killed a handful of republic soldiers and wounded a Jedi. Once finally captured Joran was set to be taken for trial. That night Joran had a conversation with a young Jedi knight who seemed utterly fascinated by Joran’s outlaw lifestyle. She was a pretty thing, a Twilek, she was younger than him but only by a year or two. Joran couldn’t help but be amazed at how kind she was to him even after what he’d done, they talked for a long time, Joran was sure it would be the last time he would talk to anyone so he was grateful. Just before morning the Sith came to reclaim the camp they lost and after a few words of promise to help he convinced the JedI to let him free. Once he was free of his cell Joran Immediately ran to his ship and took off, feeling just the smallest bit of guilt for not keeping his word.

A year later he found himself closing in on the man that killed Merrick, he tracked him to Ord Mantell where he planned to finally get his revenge, where instead he found himself rescuing the same Jedi girl who had freed him before. Joran was not happy to have been denied his vengeance but was grateful to have repaid his debt to the girl.

Over the next five years Joran found himself working with this JedI more and more, eventually falling in love with her. Their happiness was not to last, she died at the hands of a sith. Leaving Joran more broken than he already was.

Since then Joran gave in to the grief and alcoholism hiding from the rest of the galaxy. Joran returned to Nar Shaddaa and spent some time at Valturla’s compound training a new generation of killers while also occasionally taking jobs as either a smuggler or bounty hunter.

Try as he might Joran could not hide away forever. He ended up resurfacing as a member of the red ravens criminal operation for a short time. It was during his time with the Raven’s that Joran met Nei Laa, a Nautolan smuggler with a pretty face and a terrible attitude. The first time Joran ever laid eyes on her was as she pointed a blaster in his face threatening to kill him over a card game. Try as he might his fate was sealed and from the moment she he saw her behind that blaster he was infatuated and eventually their friendly rivalry turned to romance but that was years ago now and Nei has been missing for at least two years, disappearing not long after she and Joran admitted their feelings for one another. It would seem Joran’s list of lost love was only getting longer.
