NAME: Shaman Ordo
FACTION: Accord
RANK:
SPECIES:
Human
AGE: 58
GENDER: male
FORCE SENSITIVE: yes untrained

APPEARANCE:
The old shaman is fairly ugly and disfigured from a tough life. He has a lot of scars on his face and is missing a few teeth. He has shoulder length black hair that doesn't seem to be kept well usually. Both of his eyes are a little cloudy which dulls his green eyes. Most of the time he wears his helmet which hides his face from others. He is average height and is fairly skinny but not frail.

ATTRIBUTES:
Shaman Ordo is a skilled Mandalorian soldier due to his past, but is held back by his older age and smaller build. His strength is decent for his size but nothing to write home about. He doesn't make up for it in speed either. Where he makes up for being average physically is in his smarts and connection to the mystic.

PERSONALITY:
Mystic connections have made the Shaman an odd man. Failures in combat and a seeming inability to die have combined to make him suicidally brave. A hopeless fight is just a new scar for the list to him and he has no real fear of being killed. This attitude follows him in all situations he enters. There is no reason to be fake to people or hide his thoughts. If they are offended the worse they can do is get offended, try to kill him, and fail. That said he also easily makes friends because he is honest. This also means he naturally leans towards doing good as opposed to evil. His past was full of things he isn't proud of so he tries to make up for it in his old age by being a good person, at least good in his eyes. The connection to the force often whispers to him or gives him senses that confuse him due to his lack of training and control. When confronted with these he often does whatever it says believing it to be divine guidance whether or not it seems evil or not. This makes him easy to manipulate with the force if given suggestions. Every time he drinks he loses his mystic connections and finds himself able to be more normal around people. He will often drink to blend in even if just to blend in with drunks.

BIOGRAPHY:
The old mystic was born under a different name Shaman has long since forgotten on Concordia. His parents were never known to him nor were there fates. There was always speculation about fleeing from responsibility, death, or kidnapped by a foreigner but none knew the real story and by the time Shaman was an adult it didn't matter to him anymore. It takes a village to raise a child, so he was raised in the streets with no real parental figures. The other street rats named him Shaman because he always seemed to have a mystic power. They would be in awe at his future predictions and ability to read people. Those skills became helpful to his new allies in the streets. By his teenage years everyone on Concordia knew about the Street Shaman.

During his teen years, Shaman used his fame to be adopted into the Ordo clan and house. His parents had been a member of the house but he had not pursued any family ties as a child. A full Ordo before he was eighteen years old meant that when he came of age it no longer mattered that he was raised without a home and without a family. Life was good for the shaman for a few years before he was thrust headfirst into combat. Combat was something the alleyways never could teach him. Various failures left him beaten and with various scars, yet he never managed to die. Some began to see it as a Shaman curse. Never able to die, he eventually retired and left to travel the Galaxy in his 50s. This began a whole new chapter where he was unknown as a Shaman to most and could start anew.

I love the character! Since I see all those "coming soon" notes in there, I know it's still a WIP so I'd like to offer some advice about the tech. I'd recommend going through the Technology Profiles to find things that fit your character, rather than vague items like "Mandalorian Fighter Ship". If you don't find anything that fits you can always make a write-up of your own. The only other issue I see is the whole "never able to die" thing, but that's about it. Other than those small issues, I like this character and wouldn't mind it if Chos bumped in to him at some point.

Oh whoa a tech page. I still have a lot to find. Thanks! The whole never dying thing is a rumor and he can totally die he just thinks he can't. Is that still okay?

Okay, so I guess the one major thing I have to comment on here is his mystical connection to the force. If he was guided in subtle ways subconsciously, that would be fine. However, the Force doesn't really "whisper" to anyone. As Han aptly put it,

It's more of a mental guidance, not an actual voice. Also, inebriation does nothing to reduce the effects of the Force.
