HISTORY
Born in the cold, noble halls of a Sangnir highblood clan, Nando was meant to rule—until love ruined everything. A single, smoldering glance from a charming offworlder turned him from heir to heartbreak, prompting a centuries-long spiral of impulsive pursuits, bad art, and overextended duels. He left the other hemophages behind and swore to the Mand'Alor... Several centuries ago. He had honestly forgotten about it until recently, browsing Zinder after a particularly tough rejection.
At one point, he wandered so far from Mandalorian space that he was declared lost, presumed to be dramatically weeping in a swamp somewhere. Eventually, he returned—not with glory or vengeance, but with a renewed oath:
“I shall never love again.”
He broke that oath twelve hours later.
Now reintegrated into Mandalorian society, Nando carries the weight of his years—and a suspicious number of love letters written on flimsiplast soaked in cologne. He seeks to serve the Mand'Alor with honor and poetry, to reclaim some trace of legacy, and perhaps, just maybe, to find someone whose pecs he might die for.

APPEARANCE
Clad in timeworn beskar burnished to a charcoal sheen, Nando's armor bears the hallmarks of centuries: pitted vambraces, silver-worn edges, and a crimson cloak draped with theatrical flair. His T-visored helmet is etched with faint romantic calligraphy—Mando’a verses of doomed love and hopeful longing. When unmasked, he reveals a pale, statuesque face framed by raven-black hair, tied into a warrior’s bun with an ornamental clasp. With a full beard. His eyes burn a quiet, dark brown, softened by his bashful glances at handsome strangers.
A mix of knightly gravitas and lovesick softness clings to him—like someone who never quite fits the war room because he’s too busy sketching someone’s shoulders in his notebook. He walks like a duelist, not a brute, with a dramatic cloak fluttering behind him, always too clean for the battlefield.

PERSONALITY
Romantic. Bashful. Bloodthirsty (but like, in a polite way).
Nando is a warrior forged in the crucible of time and unrequited love. Once a proud heir of his Sangnir bloodline, he left his ancient keep to follow a "tragic affair of the heart"—which turned out to be a one-night stand with a Zeltron bartender on Zeltros. Centuries later, he's still not over it.
Swearing off love forever (again), Nando rejoined Mandalorian society with a renewed commitment to honor, war, and sighing wistfully at enemy warlords. He fancies himself a poet, though he’s objectively awful at it. While fearless in combat, he's hopeless in courtship—completely immune to feminine wiles, but drop-dead helpless at the sight of rugged beards and broad shoulders.
He is the type to paint a romantic mural in your honor before the duel, then offer to duel you again if you survive—just to see your eyes sparkle in the light of clashing blades.

+ Fearless, Bordering on Flamboyant: Doesn't hesitate in battle—whether facing a battalion or asking a rival out over a missile barrage.
WEAKNESSES
- Heart on Sleeve, Knife in Back: Falls in love too easily, often to the detriment of strategic clarity.
- Masc for Masc Malfunction: Entirely susceptible to rugged enemies with kind eyes and muscular forearms.
- Melodrama First, Questions Later: May dramatically monologue instead of calling for reinforcements.
- Bloody Thirst, Thirsty Blood: Needs to feed periodically, which can complicate campaigns or flirtations.

Species: Sangnir (Highblood)
Notable Traits:
• Anima Conversion – Sustains himself by absorbing life-force (blood), converted into mystical energy for healing, strength, and vitality.
• Warform Shifting – Transforms into a monstrous, bat-winged apex predator in moments of great stress or mortal danger. Hates doing it unless it's dramatic.
• The Red Hunger – Prolonged abstinence from feeding risks violent blood-rage. Nando copes through bad poetry and long walks.
• Enhanced Strength & Regeneration – Possesses supernatural reflexes, healing, and longevity. Regrows most tissues unless faced with fire or anti-vampiric weapons.
• Eldritch Memory – Has fragmented memories of past centuries, old lovers, and battlefields. Sometimes quotes them incorrectly.
• Glamour and Presence – Carries an effortless, unnerving charisma common to Highbloods. He’s unaware of it. It's worse when he broods.
“I have buried kings, burned moons, and outlived the twin suns of Vordran. And yet… he never texted back.” -
• Supercommando-type Beskar'gam– full-body T‑visored plates, vambraces rigged with weapons, scarred by countless battles.
