Appearance:
Talon is of average hight but has a powerful muscular build due largely to his Mandalorian training. His body posture exudes confidence, well his smile reveals a calm, laid back, yet proud image.
Clothes:Talon wear's a originally designed robe based off of those worn by his father (from a photograph that was in the position of his mother before she died). On the back of the robe is the image of the Mythosaur Skull Imprinted in black making it stand out against the grey and white of the robe. On his feet he wears wooden sandals sometimes, well others time he dons a pair of Mandalorian combat boots. Well sleeping he usually sleeps nude, although occasionally wears a pair of shorts when around certain people. When not in either of these outfits he either dons clothing designed to make his training harder, or (incase of time off or just lofting around) a simple pair of pants with no shirt.
Personal Details
Personality: When not fighting, training, philosophizing, or politicking in one form or another Talon is a very laid back person who often pokes fun at everyone around him. This said though he is usually in deep thought. Talon has a hard time resting his mind and he finds to much relaxation as extremely boring. One of his common sayings is "Meer life is common place."
Well in battle he is a driven man and a "pure Mandalorian" always going for the kill as he was taught as a child, unless of course he would gain more by allowing his opponents to live. The fact that he has no problems killing his enemies has caused alot of stress among many of the orthodox Jedi.
His most interesting attribute though is the fact that he constantly needs some challenge. Without such challenges he tends to mop around and become depress. This "moping" around side affect though has listened substantially sense he started smoking his Grandfather's pipe.
Force Sensitive:Yes
Alliance:Jedi
Guild/Group: Mostly known as a "Revan" Jedi. Also known as a "Revanist", ie, a believer in the ideals of Master Revan as taught to him by his grandfather's teachings.
Rank: Jedi Master (or if not allowed Jedi Knight)
Strengths:Very Driven, honorable, as well as a great leader with an incredible intellect (both battlefield and regular). Trained greatly in the art of warfare in almost all of its manifestations throughout all his life has set him above many of his fellow Jedi when it comes to combat in all its forms. He is also a great public speaker and philosopher. He has proven to be skilled at detective work and deductive reasoning. He has incredible strength with the force and his lightsaber skills are above average and reaching master level. He is very much a Renaissance man.
Talon's self perceived honor gives him a large amount of drive and power. Allowing him to push through more pain then most humans could possibly survive through based solely on willpower. His mind constantly seems to be what separates him from all other men and women of all species that he has meet.
Weakness/Flaws: Some say his pipe smoking (another trait inherited from his grandfather) is a huge flaw. Other for the fact that unlike most Jedi's he has no problem with and in fact enjoys the challenge of killing a worthy opponent. Others yet don't trust his modern "Revanism" belief in the force believing he is on his way towards the dark side. Good looking women have also proven to be a weakness.
Along with being very proud of his Mandalorian heritage comes the fact that he refuses to fight a Mandalorian outside of self defense (or in "duels" like in the battle circle). If the Mando's ever fought the Jedi it would be debatable what side he would join (if any at all) since he has such a huge respect for both cultures and believes himself to be a member of both albeit currently closer to the Jedi.
Other Information: Talon's one of the most unorthodox Jedi ever known largely due to his Mandalorian heritage and upbringing combined with his philosophical view points and his extremely high intellect. He has no problem with killing anyone even a prisoner if need be. Many members of the "old guard/ orthodox Jedi " believe the only thing that stops him from going to the dark side is his "warrior liberty" beliefs.
Talon's famous for his speaking skills and constant challenging of the Jedi status quo to the chagrin of many Orthodox order members. He has at time's argued not only for war against the Sith, but also for what would be known as in modern times as "neo-libertarian" (ie. a pro war and pro life libertarian) positions. Economically he always argues for a lassie faire capitalism. He also argues that people should have the most freedom and liberty possible and that they should for the most part be expected to defend themselves. It is those who are unable to defend themselves that the Jedi should fight for in Talon's opinion(although "those unable to defend themselves" is a shorter list for Talon then it is for other Jedi).
Talon's a bit of a pervert (considering his age and bachelor status no more then most men are at those time periods in their life) and is famous as an erotic author, which has made his name famous throughout much of the known universe. His first book (in a series) is called "Mandalorian Hunts" and became the first erotic novel to be number one on the bestseller's list.
Talon also follows his peoples ancient religious beliefs.
Languages: Basic, Droidspeak, Mando'a
History: (ooc:This comes from an earlier adaption of the same character that I created for another sight but altered for the present situations.)
Early
Talon was born 23 years ago to Opcy Ordo and a rouge Jedi Knight who's name Talon never learned (whether this Jedi is still alive or not is unknown). After he was born Talon's Jedi father abandoned both Opcy and Talon. It was at this time that Opcy's father Aqua steeped in and became the largest influence in the young Talon's life.
Talon's Mandalorian training
Talon was trained in the arts of war by his mother and grandfather. Both of who where decorated veterans of many Mandalorian campaigns. Talon with great speed and ease adapted to battle, his mothered called it a "instinctive warrior spirit". At the almost unheard of age of seven Talon became a Champion of the Battle Circle, a title he still holds and defends. At the age of twelve he was recognized as a man by the rest of his clan by going into the deserts of Ordo for three months with no provisions and coming back alive. He was honored by being granted the right to have the Mythosaur Skull tattooed on his right shoulder.
The influence of Aqua
Talon's grandfather had a huge influence on his grandson. Aqua was a great warrior but also was the historian of the Ordo Clan and a outspoken supporter of a certain sect of the Jedi Order known as Revanism and therefor the Jedi. Aqua claimed that he and his family where direct descendants of Mandalore Canderous Ordo, and that the reason the Mandalorains where doing so poorly know was due to the fact that the Mandalorains had abandoned Canderous's teachings. Aqua was a ferocious supporter of the Jedi, as well to a extent the Republic even when it was very unpopular to be. He boldly declared that the weakness of the Jedi as well as the Mandalorains was because the Mandalorains refused to support the Revanist in the Jedi Order and didn't make a alliance with them. In political debates he quoted Canderous Ordo and the Jedi Knight/Master Revan constantly. He always declared that if the Mandalorains had stayed loyal to the Revanist Jedi as Canderous had to Revan then the Jedi wouldn't be a stagnate sloth, but a powerful beast that would defend liberty, tradition, justice, and honor against any and all challenges. Along with this came Aqua's huge anti-Sith ideals always calling for a war against the Sith and the remnants of the Empire. At the end of every speech he gave in front of his fellow warrior's Aqua always ended them with the same mantra, no matter what was being discussed "The Sith must be destroyed." These views cost both Aqua and Opacy their lives.

Death of his family and revenge
""Do not forget what you have learned from us my son, but go forth and follow your father's path. Become a Revanist Jedi, a defender of the ideals of Canderous and Revan. ......always remember who you are and where you come from." "
—Talon's Mother, Aqua's last words to her son as she died in his arms.
One day well training in the harsh deserts of Ordo Talon's mother, and grandfather where brutally attacked by a group of teenage Mandalorian punks from the Planet Shogun. These outsiders deemed themselves the "Shogun Imperials" for their staunch support of the Sith and their desire to get rid of all Mandalorians with Jedi sympathizes. They attacked both Aqua and Opcy in their home and brutally slaughtered Aqua outright, and left Opcy for dead. Hours later when Talon returned he found his grandfather beheaded corpse lying next to the front door, and his dieing mother inside, in the living room barely conscious. Taking his mother in his arms he listened careful to her final wishes. She pulled a golden crystal from her pocket and handed it to Talon informing him that it was his father's and then gave him a key to a locked box which contained his father's lightsaber. She then instructed him to take the neo- crusader armor of their family (that his grandfather had died in) and the crystal and follow in his father's foot steeps as a Jedi and become a defender of the ideals of Revan and Canderous.
Talon then quickly dawned the neo crusader armor of his ancestors and tracked down the "Shogun Imperils" and slaughtered them all at once. A incredible feet even by Mandalorian standards. He then beheaded all of them and placed their heads on spikes in front of his Grandfather's (and know be default his)house.
Following his father's path
Afterwards Talon traveled to the patrician of the Ordo clan and requested his family house and possessions not be disturbed. He then gave a political speech to the patrician and all the Mandalorians around him, pleading with them to rise up with him in defense of the Jedi, and to retake the mantle and ideals of Canderous Ordo and fight for the destruction of the Sith and other oppressive powers that have been killing not only the Revanist Jedi's ideals, but also the Clans. No one answered his call to arms and Talon left Ordo. Although he has returned periodically quite a bit.
Discovery
""The force flows from you like water from a fountain. Even here on Nal Shaddaa the power of the Force beams from you like a star in the darkness, drawing me to you like fly to light." "
—The Unnamed Jedi Master who discovered Talon.
For a year after wards Talon traveled from planet to planet, testing himself physically. On this journey he made a small name for himself by killing many young Sith apprentices, and by sabotaging many ships in the Imperial Navy. Eventually well he was visiting Nal Shaddaa he was discovered by a Jedi Master. The Master surprised by the power he felt in the young Mandalorian brought him into the order for fear that if he wasn't he would fall to the dark side.
Items On his body: A Journal. Along with multiple keepsakes and trinkets. Hacking, lock picking tools and other smaller items. He also always carries his grandfather's pipe and a bunch of "Ordo Plant" (tobacco). His grandfather took up pipe smoking after his wife (Talon's Grandmother) died because she thought it made him look "cool". Talon took up the habit in memory and out of respect for his grandfather.
On his ship: Ordo pilots a Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft (aka a Firespray-class starship) Known as Hawk One. In it you can usually find him and his assassin droid "Crimice"bickering at each other.
The most impressive piece of memorabilia on his ship is his family's neo crusader armor. Some claim it was once owned by Canderous Ordo well he was Mandalore although this hasn't been proven or disproved. There is many other different items on there used mostly for intergalactic travel as well as planet exploration.
On Ordo: A huge house with a large library of books and holocrons (some saying he has Canderous Ordo and Master Revan's holocrons) which is under constant guard by his droids and many of his (Mando) friends. Talon claims to have multiple copies of his entire grandfather's collection. His home also houses all of his other thing's including furniture, keepsakes, and family heirlooms. As well as a armory of family weaponry.
Driods: Talon owns his own HK droid that he constructed along with some of his friends back on Ordo. It is a HK-2947 which has been named "Crimice". The droid has many of the same features as HK-47 including and not limited to Assassination function, translation function, weapon mastery, weapon repair/construction, computer hacking/repair skills, and droid to human protocol functions among others.
Force Powers: Talon's major concentration is in the force and he has learned multiple powers already. His goal is to eventual master all Force powers.
Burst of Speed
Force Cloak
Force Concealment (Also known as Force Stealth)
Force Sense
Farseeing
Force Empathy
Force Seeing
Telekinesis
Force Jump/Leap
Force Pull/Push
Telepathy
Breath Control
Mind Trick
Force Lightning (one of his most powerful attacks)
Weapons: One lightsaber that was passed down to him by his father when his mother died. It contains a rare golden crystal in it giving it, it's golden color. He altered the lightsaber's design considerably though eventually imprinting the image of a mythosaur skull the covers most of one side of the handle. He calls his upgraded design the Golden Mythosaur. As well as attempting to master all force power's he is attempting to learn as much as he can about lightsaber combat.
A Beskad (sword made out of Mandalorian iron) that was once his grandfathers. He wear's it on his back and uses it more often then his lightsaber. Using his lightsaber only when facing someone who he deems worthy.
Vehicle: None ATM. Although he is looking to find a Basilisk war droid.
Philosophy: Talon's ideas can't be described as "light or dark" nor does his ideas have much in common with the modern Greys. Ultimately he joined the Jedi although very begrudgingly. He believes that the current orthodox Jedi position will ultimately lead the Jedi to stagnation and defeat and he is trying to alter the order from the inside out.
His philosophy is based largely on the ideas based through his family that are created to Master Jedi Revan. As such his views go wildly against the Jedi in many key ways. None the less he is one of the orders key defenders.
Use: Currently only I can use him and all other characters I have developed fully.
