- Species:
- An uncommon Dornean sub-race with a plume of quills on the back of their heads. Often referred to as "hedgehog" Dorneans.

Jord's blaster is compact and versatile. Having served the Mahporeem Intelligence Agency, it was gifted to him as both a reward and as a tool to better protect himself.
-
Being something of an admirer if the Supercommando Codex, he purchased a vintage suit of mandalorian under-armour as his preferred method of protection. It fits inconspicuously under his clothes quite comfortably whenever he's working in the field.
-
Even though he's not a born native of Dornea, he does sometimes like to dabble in native Dornean technology. In this case, he favours the highly diverse utility of the Fallen Angel shield system.
-
This kit conveniently holds a lot of tools and items that Jord uses all the time. A former student of his back when he taught at the Mahporeem Academy bought it for him almost a century ago and Jord keeps its contents well stocked and maintained to this day.
-
S.H.I.F.T. Datapad & Ear ClickersAs a bonus for helping N&Z on a special project, Jord was once gifted a top-of-the-line S.H.I.F.T. datapad. Despite their notorious compatibility problems, Jord was able to use his technological expertise to connect the datapad to his ear clickers for enhanced user interfacing.
-
His favourite lab coat is grimy and embarrassing – but he will never throw it out. It has been permanently stained over the course of the last century, but it is also ridiculously hard to replace. It is made of interwoven Kaldrweave and Kaleidoscopic polymer fibres, which makes it highly combat durable and valuable. A small power supply keeps the kaleidoscopic fibers energized to prevent the coat from shimmering distractingly.
-
Spare MagazinesBefore going out in the field with his M35 bloodhound, Jord stows the following spare magazines into his survival kit:
- X3 Dornean Plasma mags (+1 loaded in the weapon)
- X1 tranq slug mag
- X1 acid slug mag
- X2 cortosis shot mags
- X3 NZ DSI round mags
- X1 NZ DSHT mag
-
Cigarettes and a LighterHe starts each day with about two packs in his pockets and nearly finishes them off by the end of the day. Whenever he's going to be out in the field for a few days, he will comically have packs of cigarettes stashed in the most likely and unlikely nooks and crannies out of fear of running out. His favourite brand is a Mahporeem cigarette made with Merzoidian-grown tobacco.
-
He wasn't quite sure what he was thinking when he originally purchased this item, but since he now has it, he sometimes brings it with him whenever he thinks he might need a little more extreme protection.
-
Having worked for the Mahporeem Military for most of his 200 year life, he had little trouble acquiring a proper ship from his employers for personal use. He keeps a small lab, tool chest, workbench, and storage locker in the common area for convenience, and a collapsible cot for sleeping. He also installed a small kitchenette and mini-refrigerator for meals. The on-board weapons locker remains well-stocked and maintained.
Skills:- Science and Technology: Jord is first, and foremost, a scientist of a broad range of disciplines. His ability to conjure creative ideas and apply them practical applications is highly valued by his colleagues.
- Covert operations: over the years, his abilities as a scientist have granted him access to some highly classified sectors of industry and military. Therefore, (over a two-century span of time) more… clandestine scenarios have proven too difficult to totally avoid. Learning to handle himself in such situations has inadvertently taught him a wide variety of covert skills, and has even granted him some roles as an operative from time-to-time.
- Code Slicing: a special note to his skill sets, he is a highly gifted code breaker. His bosses know better than to use discipline to contain the threat he could represent, rather relying on keeping him busy to control his ability.
Languages: Being a… somewhat accomplishedcovert agent after a fashion, Jord often needs to be able to operate without the aid a protocol droid. Therefore he often works on perfecting various languages and dialects, both as a hobby and as a professional skill.
- Galactic Basic: as a born Mahporieem, this is his native tongue. He can perfectly mimic almost any accent in this language, and is very comfortable with most of the more popular dialects in the galaxy.
- Sith Language: he is perfectly fluent in the Korriban Slave dialect and accent for undercover purpose. If needed, he can also intentionally butcher his grammar convincingly to make it sound more like a second language with a foreign accent if he doesn't want to sound like a slave.
- Mando'a: Jord's particular style of Mando'a is carefully cultivated to emulate the subtly distinct Breshig dialect and accent. This particular decision was not a professional choice, but rather a personal one to reflect his admiration and respect for Supercommando Codex and Breshig's devotion to it.
- Dornean: ironically, while he speaks the native language of his race quite fluently, he only really speaks it in distinct the Mahporeem dialect. He is also not very good at mimicking the accent of his peoples planet of origin, having been born and grown up on Mahporeem.
- Droidspeak: while he is obviously incapable of speaking it, he can understand it quite well. This is useful whenever he's working on droids or computers.
Personality:Jord Du'mas is extremely intelligent, highly experienced, and… annoyingly nonchalant. Centuries of being the smartest guy in the room has ground his general frustration down into a coarse sense of apathy. His sense of humour primarily consists of dry sarcasm.

He wasn't quite sure what he was thinking when he originally purchased this item, but since he now has it, he sometimes brings it with him whenever he thinks he might need a little more extreme protection.
PRIMARILY: Self defence. While he is considered somewhat formidable, Jord is not keen on personal combat. He only arms himself with weapons and armour that can be easily concealed as a means to protect himself if he needs to.
Combat Function:
SECONDARILY: Support role. His scientific expertise far outstrips his combat prowess. Unless the situation is dire, he will often rather volunteer his skills as a field medic or droid technician. Unless the situation becomes desperate, he's better utilized for patching soldiers, droids, or cyborgs back together, or fixing critical equipment… or sabotage. He likes sabotage…

- STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
-
Strengths:
- "Just Need Five More Minutes" – thanks to his technical abilities, he's a good guy to bring on a mission if you need to slice into something, sabotage, or repair something.
- "Medic!" – Being a scientist of many disciplines, field medicine is a cinch for him.
- "MacGyver" – he can patch a droid or cyborg back together in seemingly supernatural speeds. He can also invent or build some crazy things on the fly if given the proverbial scraps and some tie-wire.
- "Man of Mystery" – it's not his primary profession, but on occasion, he can make use of his valuable talents as a scientist to infiltrate various fields or factions as an undercover operative.
- "I've seen this before" – being over 200 years old, he has taken on a disposition of apathy towards some things that younger beings might fret about. This disposition can often lead him to leaving out critical details in his instructions, or assuming that others already know something… or simply not caring…
- What Killed the Cat – sometimes he is too curious for his own good. He can't help himself — he's a scientist.
- Pretty Mid – Reasonably speaking, he's more formidable than a common foot soldier. However, it's doubtful that he'd be able to hold his own against a proper Jedi or top-shelf mandalorian in a "fair" fight.
- Reduced lung capacity – his smoking addiction has severely damaged his lungs to reduce his racial attribute for holding his breath. As a result he starts to pass out after 20 minutes, whereas his kin can typically hold theirs for 90.
- HISTORICAL INFORMATION
-
Jord Du'mas is a Mahporeemian, through and through. He was born from a long line of Mahporeem Dorneans that have been there since the Galactic Civil War, over 900 years ago.
Back during the ancient war, the Dorneans had joined forces with the Rebellion to stage a series of raids on the once-fortified imperial world of Mahporeem. The goal was simply to divert attention away from the Dornean homeworld, and if possible, drive the Empire off the world once and for all. While the campaign had been a costly success in the primary objective, the campaign bogged down to no avail on the second. As a result, Dornean warriors had been captured and imprisoned on the ravaged planet. Once the world had been liberated, and the prisoners freed, a substantial number of Dorneans had chosen to stay and participate in Mahporeem society.
The Du'mas line comes from a famous General of the Dornean Navy that participated in the Rebel efforts. General Du'mas had been one of the leaders to help plan the campaign over Mahporeem before she had been captured in a failed raid. When freed, she had found out that she was presumed dead by her own people and declared a dead war hero. She decided not to come back to her homeworld, and instead retired on Mahporeem to start a new life and raise a family. She made no effort to change her deceased status with her own people.
Fast forward 900 years, and Jord became a prominent scientist working for the Mahporeem navy. His skills made him valuable and granted him access to various organizations, including the illegal militia that sullies the planet's otherwise imperialist reputation. Because of this, he has, on occasion, picked up a variety of covert skills and used his connections to spy on behalf of the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant on various factions or potential enemies.
Against his will, this also has led to the odd combat mission, which he has loathed. As a compromise in these circumstances, he usually opted to take on a technical support role, or a field medic position. He chose weapons and armor for his loadout that are concealable, not to give himself an advantage, but to better avoid direct conflict.
These things give him a lot of stress. As a result, he took up smoking, and hydroponics in his free time. He also has a fascination and respect for the tenets of the Mandalorian Supercommando Codex, which he studies and collects paraphernalia whenever he can. And to this day, he meddles in various Mahporeem Military projects, offering his insights and expertise to engineers that endeavour to design advanced military systems. Allies of Mahporeem Imperial Remnant will often also call him for assistance, which he is authorized to give.
