[/fancybox4]
[fancybox2]
STRENGTH:
[6/10]
For his height and weight Davin looks thin, though not scrawny. However despite his look Davin is stronger than he appears. Great weights are well beyond his capability to lift, whilst medium and light weights he can lift and carry for reasonable distances

DEXTERITY:
[7/10]
Davin is quick and nimble on his feet, his dexterity is helped by his use of force powers though his athleticism and rigorous training that he puts himself through make him a natural gymnast. His training of Jar'Kai only helped to increase his dexterity as having to concentrate on all four limbs, moving in tandem have given him experience in being able to perceive his surroundings and make him more aware of his movements.

CONSTITUTION:
[5/10]
Davins tolerance of pain and overall ability to stay alive is the same as that of any humanoid species, regardless of his past and upbringing he hurts and can be killed like anyone else.

INTELLIGENCE:
[5/10]
Davins' a reasonably intelligent person, basic and obvious patterns he can observe and work out, though the harder the problem the longer it takes him to solve. He has a reasonable mind for tactics, though often he will charge head first into a situation or problem that is beyond him and try and solve it though brute force. his knowledge of technology and the inerior workings of droids and computers is one of his greatest strengths.

WISDOM:
[3/10]
Never one for deep intellectual thought or discussions Daivin will happily sit through and listen to the mysteries of the force and rarely question them, he would much rather be practicing the practical than studying the theory.

CHARISMA:
[4/10]
His upbringing has made it difficult for Davin to openly trust too many people and his interaction with his peers is often forced or if in a situation that he is uncomfortable with he will completely withdraw and try to bledn with his background. However, if you are his friend he loyal to the end and will fight for you no matter who he is standing against.

[fancybox2]PERSONALITY:[/fancybox2]
Davins' speaks his mind more freely than most, and this often gets him into trouble with teachers and peers alike. Though overall he is a quiet person who prefers his own company to that of large groups and this may be why, when in company, he finds it hard to hold back thoughts and opinions that should be kept to himself. Being a Mandolorian and after reading up on his heritage Davin seems to be overly focused on the combat aspects of his Jedi training and whilst he does take his force control seriously it seems to his teachers that he tried to find the military application in even the simplest of techniques.

Though it seems he is inclined towards the ancient Mandoloirans way of life this is only because after leaving his family (if not before) he was considered dar'manda by his father. Before joining the Order Davins' only motivation in life was to make his father proud of him, even though as a young child he was subjected to abuse because of his appearance. Davins' self esteem has grown considerably during his time in the Order and he is even proud of being a clone, however, any failure he takes badly (and often takes it out on himself), especially if that failure displeases someone he respects and/or admires.

Though Davin is not considered a clown he does have a sense of humor which seems to have a comment or a pun for most situations that he finds himself in. Often these comments are by accident and are delivered in such a serious manner that he himself fails to see what others find so funny.

[fancybox2]BIOGRAPHY:[/fancybox2]
Davins' 'brother' was the favorite and only son to a very minor Mandolorian clan leader. He lost his wife when a rival clan attacked his home trying to wipe out the Cort Clan and never took another. With his wifes death Davins father doted upon his one and only son, proclaiming him to be the greatest warrior within the clan and the one who would lead them to great victory, gaining territory and power over the clans who threatened them. This was never to be, and during his first battle at the age of 15 Davins' brother was killed. The Cort warriors recovered the corpse and brought him back to his father so that he could grieve. Grief overtook Davins father and he did nothing but mourn the loss of his son. He looked into the most extreme ways to bring his son back before he finally settled on cloning. He first went to Kamino to have his son cloned, however the price was too steep and even the nearly defunct flash cloning facilities on Centax-2 were unaffordable. This forced him to the black market and the seedy underbelly of the galaxy.

Costing considerably less than a legitimate facility as well as the promise of favors to be fulfilled at a later date Davins' father got his wish and his dead son was cloned a meer 2 months after his death. The process seemed to be going fine, all Davins' father wanted was a baby that he could raise to be the son that he had failed before, however problems quickly arose with the child and unexpected mutations occurred quickly, whether this was because the genetic material was too badly degraded or because the cloners had little to no real understanding of what they were doing was never found out because after taking delivery of the baby, whose skin was grey, eye were red and ears were pointed davins' father lost control and slaughtered the cloners blaming them for the complete loss of his son. He even contemplated killing Davin, however he couldn't bring himself to do it and after returning to his clan he gave the child away to a couple who couldn't have children. At 5 years old Davin was brought in front of his father and was told what he really was, throughout the proceedings Davins' father couldn't even look at the boy and even though Davin was much too young to understand it all he knew that he was a failure. With the knowledge of his nature as a clone being common knowledge Davin was shunned by the rest of the clan. His nature as an outcast led to much bullying, some which ended in severe physical violence.During one such attack, Davin was held down and whipped by older boys, permanently scarring his back.

At the age of 8 Davin was singled out as a force sensitive by a Jedi, in usual circumstances most Mandos would never have been allowed to leave to join the Jedi order however, the hatred that had built up inside the clan towards Davin, all stemming from his own father the decision was made for him and Davin was sent off to join the order. For the next 8 years Davin lived his life as an initiate, leaning the ways of the force and how to wield a lighsaber. His life at the temple became his world and he began to forget the things he went through with his own family. Until the news started to filter in that the Imperials were bombing planets and some of the smaller clans were being completely destroyed. One day, Davin received a message and a package, delivered to him by hand by the woman who was his surrogate mother, the message was that his father had been killed and the clan had been almost completely wiped out, with only a handful of women and children surviving. The news didn't phase Davin in the slightest and he turned his back on the woman and on his old life. In the relative seclusion of his room he opened the package and found the Bracers and Greaves of a Mandolorian warrior. Davin put them on as a permanent reminder of his heritage and of what he really was .

Yes my avatar is Davin and I'm sure he and Marik could get along well, if circumstances push them into being friends.

I will forever and always read his name as Daven Port.

I mean, we could turn him into a sofa..

If you go to imgur.com and upload your character's image, you can add it to the main entry by putting it in between a pair of image tags, minus the asterisks: [img*]http://URLGOESHERE[/im*g]

"The Mandalorians—known in Mando'aas the Mando'ade, or "Children of Mandalore"—were a nomadic group of clan-based people consisting of members from multiple species and multiple genders, all bound by a common culture."

All bound by a common culture, to me at least would identify someone as part of a species and/or race.

I mean, if you don't like my profile you can always flag it to the admins and have them look at it, seeming as they accepted it first time around I don't see an issue with what I have written.

Your argument does not hold ground since that is not a species just because two separate species share cultures doesn't mean they are the same species but I'm not here to start any beef just wanted to clarify that mandalorians are not a species

Like I said, if you want you can flag it to the admins as incorrect. I got accepted so I don't know why you're dragging up a months old post for one thing. Don't like it, flag it.

Even though it's simple, I really like the BBCode you're using. Also, nice character.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is really one of my pet peeves.

If you argue that Mandalorians are a species and will list him as such, then why don't you list his species as Jedi as well? Both are little more than a set of cultural ideals and practices that bind a group of people under a common belief. Thus your [incorrect] definition would qualify them both equally as a "species".

Mandalorians are no more a separate species in Star Wars than Christians are in real life.

Can I join in?

I edited (if you read through the profile) to fix the feedback that I was given. To me, through the media portrayals of the mandalorians they came across, again, 'to me' as a seperate species during the writing of this profile. However correct or incorrect my opinion was at the time is irrelevant.

This has now been fixed. If you wish to argue about whether or not a species can be defined by its culture, I think an ooc thread is needed, maybe we could shoot the breeze about free will and religion too.

I know the whole, mandos being a group rather than a species may be a hot topic or something but, please, if you have feedback, pm me or something, rather than pulling an almost year old post back to the front page.
