HISTORY:
Concordia, Mandalore... Those names channel a lot of memories for the Mandalorian Revora Musana. One word that best describes them was home. Growing up entrenched in Mandalorian culture the two bodies in space had left their imprint on her even if it didn't necessarily treat her the best. Revora and her surname traces itself from a group of Cathar refugees that ended up fleeing to Mandalorian space several hundred years ago. Being accepted and welcomed into the family though the settlers would quickly begin to reforge themselves in beskar and take up the tenets of the Resol'nare quickly soon being ready to fight for it with new ferocity even if from a historical perspective there was a certain irony to this.
Revora was the older of two siblings in her family, a rather odd bunch that was often the cause of many hardships. Her father was a prideful, stubborn war hero that was permanently discharged thanks to injuries sustained. He was deeply entrenched into both the religion and 'The Way' and would serve as a harsh guiding hand for Revora and a source of constant friction for the young Cathar as they frequently butted heads, especially as Revora grew older and more independent in thought. Her Mother meanwhile was only a blur in her memories as by the time she could remember her mother she could then remember her death due to complications in giving birth to her brother. She just knew that when she heard her Father tell her what had happened that it had broken him in a way no battlefield wound ever could. Her brother meanwhile would prove to be a source for more strife as it was revealed he suffered from a rare genetic condition that severely hampered his immune system. A simple cut, a cough or some even a minor laspe in sanitation could cause him to flare up with a life threatening infection. Needless to say this has given Revy quite a few scares during her childhood when she had to confront the fact that her brother could die.
It led to a few things developing in the young cathar. She would develop a very tight bond with her brother as she looked over and protected him, many a times Revora would kick the collective arses of anyone that tried to give her bro trouble. Despite him being much taller than Revora she would call her brother Little Man out of endearment and a small jealousy over his height. Though that was a minor failing over the much larger struggle she would face growing up. With her father in a position being able to work and her brother needed costly care and treatment money would become a constant issue. A desperate yearning to do what she could to support her family would lead to her becoming a petty thief and street rat. In her eyes she was doing what was necessary to put food on the table. This would lead to many encounters with the authorities and with each time she was caught she would merely take it as a new lesson in how to not get caught.
This would lead to many fierce arguments with her father that would devolve into yelling. Especially as she grew more inquisitive and skeptical of many of the things that were forced upon her as a child. From doubting various aspects of the Mando religion to disputes over her being a thief and money the two would have a constantly strained relationship that was so typically dysfunctional. While her brother was a constant source of affirmation and positivity her life it had an effect that Revy didn't like. She was noticing and realizing that her brother had practically idolized and was becoming more and more like her. Becoming more defiant and hard headed, and soon getting into his own bits of trouble. It was beginning to concern the Mandalorian as she grew up and transitioned into adulthood as she was fearing that he would end up just like her but only more vulnerable. She was growing more terrified of the influence and power she had over him and so she had decided to distance herself from her family. She had taken to galactic smuggling which proved lucrative enough to pay the bills and naturally isolate herself from her family. She got to see more of the world and away from the homogenized views of the Resol'nare and she would eagerly devour all she saw and relay some of her stories to her brother. It seemed like a nice little lot in life that she had afforded for herself.
Sadly everything would change when the The Sith Empire attacked and invaded her homeworld. Concordia, the place that had raised her was now a vile fortress purely meant to satiate a mad man's desire to hold a planet, a culture, and a people hostage. She was now unable to return to her homeworld and by extension unable to find out what had happened to her father and brother. Their fates unknown as she was now starting to grow desperate for anything that could give her hope; Though perhaps, that's for the best she wouldn't know, as the truth is quite grim. Her father having been executed for stalwart opposition and active dissidence against the Sith Empire. Her Brother meanwhile had been considered a curiosity due to his genetic condition and was taken for experimentation, though of what type and what purpose is currently unknown. Then there was the great battle to take back Mandalore, upon hearing of the combined efforts to liberate her people there was hope burning inside the Cathar. Jumping into the system to see and hopefully join her kin instead she saw the smashed remains of the liberation forces. With Imperial ships soon converging on her ship ready to add another kill for the day the Mandalorian had one choice hoisted upon her: Run.
She would escape but something was forever taken from her that day. In it's place was an anger and a sprinkling of hate. She vowed to herself that one day she would return to Mandalore, she would find out what happened to her father and brother, and then find out whom she'd need to kill.

Appearance:
Revora has now fully taken up the way and is constantly in her armor. Very rarely does she take ever remove her helmet now only doing so when she's confident there isn't a single soul in sight. Her armor while always a dull matte black and gray purely out of pragmatism also fittingly enough now is a sign of mourning for the cathar. Meanwhile anyone that sees the Cathar out of her helmet would likely see short messy black hair, vibrant yellow eyes and either an air of spunk or disdain.

It's outfitted with a few accessories as well to help aid for fights. A pair of Mandalorian vambraces, rocket boots for enhanced mobility giving revora a lot of versatility in combat.
WEAPONS:
Sidearm: Blaster pistol
Melee: Beskad At about 45 centimeters in a length and sporting a prominent curved blade it's certainly a formidable sight.

PROS & CONS (Required: 2 Cons Minimum) :
Pros:
Natural born protector: Revora will generally look out for anyone she works with whether it be fellow mandalorians on the job or smugglers or really anyone she travels with. A habit she had every since she looked over her brother. Though it isn't without a fair bit of teasing and frustration.
Combat Prowess: Mandalorians have their reputation for a reason and Revora is no different. Trained in hand to hand martial arts, melee combat and blaster marksmanship Revora is a fierce opponent to have on the battlefield.
We have a hatch for that: Revora made a living as a smuggler for a reason and is knowledgeable and skilled at many things related to that from petty thievery, to hiding objects, faking ids, pulling ruses and who to call Revora knows her way around some of the seedier sides of life.
Cons:
A rage that fails to be quenched: Needless to say The Sith Empire's treatment of the Mandalorian people and the direct impact on Revora's family is a major sticking point for the Cathar. While it lies hidden under the surface of the normal air she puts off it eats away at her from the inside. She can't stand the sight of the Sith or anyone that operates under a similar imperial banner. This also may translate over to other Mandalorians especially the ones that failed to retake the planet back from the sith, she doesn't know what would happen if she was ever in a room with some of the Mandalorians that failed to save her family or atleast secure their burial ground, but she knows it won't be pretty.
Tightly wound: The Cathar doesn't really show or reveal her struggles with others. Instead it gets bottled up and shoved down into her subconscious meaning that all the things that have weighed down on her mind have built up. As a result Revora can be quite the ball of stress and it can also lead to some intense outbursts or creative ways she ends up teasing people.
Anything for the Family: Revora is desperate to find out the fates of her Father and Brother and is thus willingly to do almost anything to find short of working with a Sith. It also means that Revora often has a one track mind as she spends countless hours of her life wandering and searching for answers. She doesn't know what their fates are, though in her mind she's clinging on to the hope that she they're out there and that she may one day reunite with them.
