Shereshoy Sornell
Shereshoy preparing to fix a machine in the midst of the action.
Basic Information
Name: Shereshoy Sornell
Nicknames: The Warsmith, Old man, Ugly B*****d, Mr Enthusiastic.
Faction: Mandalorian (MandalMotors)
Species: Epicanthix
Gender: Male
Age: 53
Height: 6'11ft
Weight: 155 kg
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue
Skin: White (Tanned)
Apperance: Shereshoy was once a handsome ladies man, but years of constant conflict has worn away his once aesthetic exterior leaving an ugly and callused man. His most notable injury is the large white scar which covers the lower right side of his face, from the tip of his nose, most of his cheek and mouth which is full of mostly false teeth and a reconstructed jaw. He always tells a different account of his injury from a duel with a Jedi, to a duel with Mandalore, to trying to itch his nose while drunk with a vibro-torch.
In reality he gained this injury with a point blank shot to the face with a heavy repeating pistol, how he survived such a shot is a mystery and miracle. The hair on his body is black and even that seems to be receding. He does not care about the definition of his muscles preferring sheer size and thus his stomach is almost flat, he has large pecs and his shoulders make him look even more broad then he is, he walks with confidence and with a childish smirk on his face, he loves his job and life.

Shereshoy’s armour is a peculiar specimen, different to most of his compatriots but far more personalized and powerful than the “average” Beskar’gam. There are three main components to his armour which he uses on a regular basis.
There is:
There is:
Weight: 5.0 kg
Manufacturer: Shereshoy Sornell
Classification: Heavy Assault Armor
Composition: Beskar, Ciridium, Carbon, Phrik, Durasteel (Classified Ratios)
The “Exo-Skeleton” is thin layered armour that offers little protection against conventional military weapons, but is used as the “membrane” and interface between the two other modules. There are conduits which allow Shereshoy to quickly put either the Beskar’gam, or the Extreme Climate Module on quickly. The armour has radiation protection so the infa-red and UV light does not affect him during his work. This armour is used for general purpose engineering and is used almost all the time he is in his workshop, when not working he is usually wearing his full body armour though.
The “Exo-Skeleton” also contains a small polyfibre layer which contains electrical and computer circuits. His computer interface contains basic repair scripts and programs which test for faults within a variety of systems varying from Hyperdrives to Automatic Turrets. There are tonnes of schematics and he has a link which he can use to connect into almost any computer or machine to run his scripts, repair programs or hack into the system. One thing which is peculiar is that he runs an emulator where his R2 unit speaks to him during combat and monitors his systems for him, and can be uploaded into any droid given the chance.
Many Mandalorians think this is very peculiar, but Shereshoy is attached to his little companion. There is also the Module for his wardroid ready to be uploaded into any machine he pilots, so even on the rare occasion that he cannot pilot his own beast, he can have his companion and ally with him. Shereshoy has had mechanical processes installed into his spine to better interface with the multiple arms of the ECM and there is a protective cover over his spine to make sure a complete integration into the ECM is possible.

Weight: 81.0 kg
Manufacturer: Shereshoy Sornell
Classification: Super Heavy Armour/Engineering Module
Composition: Beskar, Ciridium, Carbon, Durasteel
Extreme Climate Module This module is used for extreme environments, such as the vacuum of space, extreme temperatures and working under great pressure. The ECM has great powers but is also hugely limiting, being almost four times the weight of Battle Armour the first main component is the extensive power armour which grants Shereshoy incomprehensible strength, if he so desires giving him the ability to lift tonnes of weight and break metal with his bare hands, it is a liberating experience.
What he enjoys most about the module is the ability to operate seemingly countless different hands off of his servo harness which is plugged into his spine and he can operate like other sets of arms. There is also extremely thick alloy of Durasteel, Phrik and a small amount of Beskar to defend against the elements and most blaster rounds.
Behind the left calf is an oxygen supply that can last for 24 standard hours, in the other an energy source which allows him to fully operate his suit for 6 standard hours without topping up. There are significant problems with this suit that inhibits it from being used more commonly.
Firstly there idealy needs to be a constant power source for the amount of energy needed to operate suit at full capacity is immense, if all power and the backup source runs out even the mighty Shereshoy struggles to move to safety. The ability to move all the different hands and tools with precision and consistently takes a strain on Shereshoy to the extent that even he can tire out very quickly in comparison to normal. The longest stint in this suit is 26 hours at full capacity, after this he was incapacitated for almost as long due to mental exhaustion.
He doesn’t particularly like this module but in sticky situations it is vital and has saved his life countless times before.

Finally is the Custom Shereshoy Beskar’gam. This is a masterpiece of the Mandalorian Metal-Smith. After almost dying due to his incompetence in his youth he swore never to be unprepared again, this custom armour is the accumulation of a lifetime worth of skills and his anger, pain and will to be the best Engineer.
The armor consists of a variety of alloys including the famed Beskar, ciridium,Phink and Durasteel the exact ratios of which are a closely guarded secret which Shereshoy has only imparted onto his sons and apprentices all of which have been sworn to secrecy.
First layer more computing systems, the power grid (primary, the exoskeleton is back up when in this system and power regulators) covered in a high density beskar/ciridium mesh.
Second layer is a light composite armour covered in ballistic gel to absorb shock that could possibly disorientate or injure him. The gel and alloy has been tempered in a way to help protect against EMP waves which could destroy the fragile computing systems beneath. The second layer is hermetically sealed and he has up to an hour of oxygen stored which recharge automatically.
His helmet was the classic T visor made famous by Boba Fett and it electronically seals onto the armour to prevent him from being gassed, it bears an antenna which can be used for a variety of functions from signalling comrades and whatever ship he may be piloting and to disrupt enemy communications.
His helmet is embedded with eight HD Cameras giving Shereshoy a full 360 degree view as if he had no helmet on at all, they are embedded within the Beskar and there are emergency protcols and spare cameras incase one is damaged (Although if one is damaged it is most likely that Shereshoy would have been killed).
There are also surround sound devices which play a HD playback and plays it to the correct sound that it does not damage his hearing.
In his helmet his target computer is situated, Shereshoy has spent long period personalizing his targeting computer that he can accurately aim up to long distances quickly and accurately and can identify multiple targets and highlights a red dot where Shereshoy needs to aim for a headshot taking into account distance, drift and other factors.
He can also monitor the variables of the environment outside from his helmet aswell if needs be. His other functions can be accessed by a panel on his left wrist including the compartments on his wrist which can hold a variety of gasses and substances varying from darts, poisons, blades, wrist mounted repeating pistols and flamethrowers.
On his back he can have a jetpack that can seal onto the back of his suit, to prevent explosions the fuel is actually created from two contrasting (non-flammable) chemicals within the ignition chamber lowering the chance of a fiery death. The design has been improved from that used in the Republic era drastically by using Gyro-stabilisation and new fuel cell technology for stabilization.
In the souls of his boots he has spare fuel cells for emergency use, and two long Beskar blades for kicking a man when he’s down.

Strength: The Epicanthix Shereshoy is far strong than the average Human naturally due to his blood, that mixed with his hobby of weightlifting makes him a powerful man. He would never gain strength and sacrifice his endurance, for he stays constantly in tip top shape and runs even more often than he lifts, but even still he is usually the strongest Mandalorian around. (8/10)
Dexterity: Being a talented engineer Shereshoy is talented with his hand to eye co-ordination and many think he can fix things merely by looking at them, he is very nimble and flexible. He is quite manoeuvrable and can be fast (although not impressively) he usually finds it hard to dodge and keeping his head dow usually means getting on hands and knees due to his size. (7/10)
Constitution:Mandalorians do not suffer the weak, the unprepared. Shereshoy is never unprepared, he constantly trains when he is not working, fixing and creating. He is not as fit as he was in his youth but still is extremely fit. While he is no Supercommando, he can certainly hold his own and is no stranger to strenuous, constant work. (7/10)
Intelligence: Shereshoy can absorb selective knowledge well, usually he absorbs knowledge of things that he is interested in, such as properties of materials, schematic designs and how to work Beskar. While being smart he has anything but a well-rounded education, not being knowledgeable about foreign cultures and ignorant of many things which most would be surprised at by a man held in such high esteem. (8/10)
Wisdom:He is very wise, this did not come naturally but he has been to the school of hard knocks, then went back to upgrade his qualifications there.. Several times. He knows how his people work, how they operate, he knows how to act, when to stand up, when to sink into the background and understands the way things are in life and is happy to tutor any that listen to him. (7/10)
Charisma: Shereshoy is charismatic because he is a nice guy. He understands how to communicate with people and is always polite and kind, he is a gentle soul not born for the ravages of war, but he has been destroyed and rebuilt into a fierce warrior, but the kindness of his heart is still there. He is a loving father of six children, three of which were his and the rest from fallen comrades or orphans that needed a father.
Many seek him for advice and emotional support, he is an inspirational leader managing to talk to the hearts of men and make them work more efficiently and with a purpose. Those who would think of him as weak are fundamentally flawed for he lives and dies by his honour and that of his people, he continues to improve himself and tries to use his morality which is tied into the Resol'nare.. (9/10)
Other Skills:
Strengths and Weaknesses: Shereshoy speaks Mando’a, Droid, Basic and Hutese fluently and understands alittle bit of the Twilek language. He is a motivated man who is willing to do anything for the greater course than his people. He likes to see himself as a mentor and is willing to help anyone who is willing to try their absolute hardest.
He is a loyal friend and a hearty warrior, but he is woefully bad at compromising, being stubborn and unflexible he takes an all or nothing policy and sometimes people feel as if they can not confront him with solutions that conflict with his own ideas, although this frustrates him more. He is very patient but sometimes explodes if someone is woefully ignorant, or when he sees wrong, it is a delicate balance.
+ Master Engineer - Having spent his entire life making and fixing things, he has developed a mastery of many trades that has only been allowed by his natural affinity with his hands. His most mastered art is being one of the famed Mandalorian metal-smiths, creating armor for Mandalorians, Bes'uliiks and Spacecraft. Many Mandalorians willingly line up and pay extortionate prices for him to tend to their most prized possession (But for friends, heroes or Mandalorians in need he will tend to theirs for free, sometimes even paying for the materials).
He knows how to create specialized rifles and these are almost as popular as his armor services. A niche field in which he has invested alot of time is in compute programming and electronics, he saw this as vital in his quest to improve the mighty Bes'uliik, and the only way he could continue with this was to learn the intricacies of the beast of iron.
+ Good Fighter - Proficient in military tactics, and a great marksman Shereshoy is a theat on the battlefield even without his technological knowledge (which he uses to great affect). In his youth he often took to the front line, and even now when given the opportunity he would relish a chance to try out his skills.
+ Master of the Bes'uliik - To ride the beast of iron in his blood, and from his youth when his Father taught him how to control her, to his first taste of combat on her back, to the present day he loves his Bes'uliik and after constant training and combat experience it has become an extension of his body as he rockets though the atmosphere.
+ Battle Circle Champion - In his youth hardly any could defeat the monster that was Shereshoy and even in his age now he maintains a reputation as a brutal close combat fighter, using his size and seemingly unstoppable power to destroy his opponents.

Personality: Shereshoy shows the typical stubbornness that the Mandalorian lifestyle creates, being hardworking and dedicated to his crafts. Yet he has a fleeting mind and often finds it hard to make an absolute decision on what to focus his energies on and finds himself dreaming of being a pilot one day, then a farmer, then in the special forces but knows ultimately that he is and will always be happy at MandalMotors as long as he is allowed to create eccentric weaponry and make big things go boom.
He is a nice man with many friends and he makes fun of himself almost as often as he makes jokes at other people. At first he seems notoriously lazy with the way that he speaks and acts, expressing no emotion in most of his statements and showing no urgency in his movement, sauntering around in high tense situations. In his youth he had a big anger problem, shouting when someone misunderstood him and quick to gt into confrontations. But now he has matured and after six children he has developed a great deal of patience although that spark is still there.
Although being well versed in selling goods, and items he laments formal business meetings and meeting foreign dignitaries for he feels as if he has to be someone else and he won't stretch that far, especially when he can palm that role off to someone else.

Shereshoy was born on Mandalore but after his mother’s death his Father (Unoto) could not bear to live in their family house, so he sold it and he took his baby son with him on a pilgrimage to find a new home. He found work as a ship mechanic on Serreno, his vast and impressive knowledge of starships becoming an invaluable asset to the work force under Count Randolf of Uthosfar.
Unoto never forgave the Hutt who sent his wife on the suicide mission which ultimately killed her, but the rates he paid for Mandalorians were exquisite and once every few months he would disappear on contract. Unoto became good friends with Randolf, Randolf was born a peasant but managed to work his way up to the aristocracy and the two were kindred spirits and he respected the Mandalorian life of discipline, so when his father disappeared Shereshoy would live with the Duke and his children.
The Starport in Carannia was Shereshoy’s home he learned all there was to do with repairing ships from his Father including more importantly the way of his people, he did all he could to raise his son as a Mandalorian. Shereshoy remembers his first piece of armor, he never felt attached to it as strongly as one should at this point, a bad precedent that would have terrible repercussions later in life. He was more fascinated with rifles then ships and although his Father forbid him to try to create rifles in his spare time he would try to create makeshift weapons based on schematics he stole from his Fathers databank.
Shereshoy made friends with Randolfs son Randolf II. Their friendship stretches into the present date and every now and again Shereshoy will go to visit him to make sure all goes well and they are not in danger.
Unoto constantly fed his son tales of the ancients, stories of the Mandalore wars and the famous Mandalorians of times old (and new), that with his training made him want to be like the Crusaders of old, but more importantly he wanted to be a full member of his clan, a rider of the beasts of iron.
His father had amassed a small fortune through his work for the Count and after contact some old friends back on Mandalore he managed to attain the remnants of a badly damaged Bes’uliik. The power cells had all been ruptured; the CPU had been corrupted by the safety protocols after several failed attempts to change the source code had damaged it in such a way that it was completely inoperable and the Bes’uliik had been stripped off all of its armour plating and weapons leaving the skeleton which was so badly damaged that many would of just thrown it away.
Shereshoy was thrilled and for over half a year he worked alone on the beast, his Father gave him guidance and told him how to approach it and the information he needed on how to perform the vital repairs, but gave him far few materials so everything had to be done painstakingly by hand. After six months he managed to fix all but the chassis, the armor, weaponry and CPU all by hand. As the robotic limbs moved forward and the thrust engines activated the Duke and Unoto were impressed, but the work was not done yet, to become one with the iron beast the beast had to be awoken and this was an entirely new kettle of fish.
Shershoy fought on and completely wiped the computer of the machine, his father warned that so power was the damaged caused by the safety protocols that trying to initiate the main computer would cause the machine to self-destruct.
He had never done anything like this before and his father came to tutor him almost full time now as he learnt electrics and programming They wiped the computer so they had to start from scratch. It took three years to become fully proficient in the language of the Mandalorian engineers, constant trial and error. Eventually he manged to install the new safety protocols and install the scripts that gave the machine semi consciousness when activated, It was not so simple for his father had edited and made a lot of the scripts fail so he would manually have to find the problems and solve it himself.
So at age twelve he finally had his beast of iron. He remembers thoroughly the first time he flew his beast, it was a surreal experience, he knew finally the experience of the famous Mandalorians of old, the rush, the freedom in the air, with a beast that could destroy seemingly anything, it changed him.
His beast had no armor, no weapons, his Father forbid it, but he created something similar to an ion cannon, he had not the equipment to make functional weapons, but he had the energy to create ion beams which could disable foreign objects.
Shortly after when he became a man, his Father was upset but expected what came, Shershoy left a much saddened man to train to be a Mandalorian, the Count offered him a good job, but he wanted to be with his people, he wanted to go to Mandalore.
Taking a cargo ship he put the skeleton of his Basalissk on and paid for passage to Mandalore.
He rode his Basallisk to where he found his clan to be based, at first they were horrified by its appearance, one of the old men walking forward and sadly resting his hand on the beast he presumed to be severely damaged, once they had “spoken” to the beast and talked to Shershoy and he explained about his roots, they accepted them as one of their own and it was at this point that another life change event took place, the arming of his Basalisk.
There were four young Mandalorians like him, four completely alien different species and they treated the Basalisk like a wounded family pet, being gentle yet firm. They were obviously inexperienced as it took them awhile to assemble the armour plating, but what took longer was the insertion of the cannons.
He was told that he should name his companion for good luck, so he named him Gra’tua, vengeance. He now learnt the intricacies of combat on the Basalisk, they were a relatively rare sight in the Mandalorian military and he felt rather elitist in his naïve youth and was assured of his own self-importance.
At the age of eighteen after years of practice and working for the Hutts and other contractors to practice and earn money he was recalled for a strike on the black watch that were embedded into a fortress world in the cloak of the Sith, they would not expect the iron beasts to strike and did not have adequate defenses for such a brazen strike.
As a strike force assembled underneath the head of the clan at the time, he was told that he should not take part by a veteran because he had not maintained his basilisk in tip top condition and there were several flaws he had not addressed, he was also concerned about the maintenance of Shershoy’s armor. He took it as an insult and told the venerable man to **** off, words he always regretted. Then the general told Shershoy that he was forbidden to fly, the angry youth sulked off, making all think less of him. As they shot off into the battle, the enraged Shershoy hacked into the lock on his machine, destroyed the security protocols and in the process destroying the seal which kept it in the ship and it fell to the battle bellow with Shershoy on its back. The machine was not up to scratch, but he was too blinded by pride to see this, he accelerated to maximum speed, cutting through the atmosphere and speeding past his comrades who were in shock at him disobeying orders. He lost control of his Basalisk as the computer unit cut out, causing them to enter a spiral making them easy targets for the death watch defenses, his comrades could only look on in shock as the anti aircraft turret locked on and shot through the center of the iron beast, the first round deflected off but because of inefficient repairs the second round penetrated the hull igniting the primary focusing cells and gas canisters causing the machine to combust, even with the safety features it could not stop the machine breaking completely, it was not far from the floor and as it fell vertically it crashed into the floor the section which held Shershoy and its safety features to absorb shock could not deal with the intensity and he was propelled twenty feet through the air, breaking most of the bones in his body.
When the comrades found him they quickly evacuated him from the battlefield, not many thought he would make it but somehow he held on, he punctured a lung but managed to survive.
The healing process was long and took weeks in a kolto tank. He was in a medically induced coma as Gra’tua was given a warriors funeral and sent into the sun of the Mandalore system. When he awoke he was devastated to know that he had missed the funeral, and even more gutted about his actions, he was so ashamed and expected to be sentenced for his incompetence. But it never came.
His pride was shattered, and without his steed he was no longer a beast rider, he was just a broken man, not even a Mandalorian. He thought about this women he was chasing, about his chances of promotion and his honor, but he could never talk to her again now, he would never be but a private now and his honor was in tatters. They had left a fragment of his beasts armor for him, a large chunk of Beskar that he kept, he left that piece behind in a locker on Mandalore before fleeing the system.
For the next three years he wondered the Galaxy working for the Hutts, and seeing the sights. Killing people for petty cash, never content, disgusted with the way he was living. He came to see the folly of his ways, and after a run in with a metal smith from MandalMotors he agreed to go home, he would never have weak armor again, he would never be unprepared, he would be prepared for anything.
On the MandalMotors station above Mandalore he took his apprenticeship under the great Matunon a master who had been using Beskar all his life, he saw great promise in Shershoy as he cooled his temper on the heat of the forge, his training taught him patience and calm and as he embarked on this crusade of self-improvement he found himself improving rapidly. Matunon became like a new father, who constantly pushed him and by the end of his 7 year apprenticeship he was considered very gifted and proficient at his craft.
Matunon knew about his disgrace, and told him to go to his clan and redeem himself as he was no longer bound by apprenticeship. He found out that his nemesis Goran Sornell, the General he told to ******* off was now leader, going back to his clan he begged for forgiveness but Goran mocked him , saying that he had lost his honor and he would have to do something great to make it up to him. He was told sarcastically that he would be assigned a suicide mission, but he insisted. He was told to disappear and not show his face before the call was made.
Retreating back to the MandalMotors base, he asked his mentor to let him create a new iron beast, he did, it took a long time but with the correct machinery, all his training and the hand of his mentor he created her by hand in a few months, every part tailored to him specifically with beautifully worked beskar for protection and weapons calibrated just spot on, it was a master piece.
He got the call, he was told to meet with a part of the fleet, they were going to launch an assault on another Death Watch position, it was like de ja vu but this time the base was deep on a mountainous world, not ideal flying for anyone. Goran must of thought he would of died, but by some miracle he managed single handily to bring down the air defenses, paving the way for a ground assault and cause serious damage to the Death Watch generators, through the battle the enemy were suppressed by the fear of the lone, insane Beast Rider.
Goran accepted Shereshoy back, albeit reluctantly at first, with time the two became good friends as he settled back down into the life he knew, he also married Arla Sornell who was slightly older than Shershoy but the two were really close and his reappearance rekindled their love, they quickly married and shortly after she learnt she was pregnant.
But the two were not to go nine months without a child, for one of his close friends died in a freak accident leaving his son without a father, or a mother. There was much debate in the clan as to who should adopt the child and none really seemed to want too, so when Shereshoy took the burden upon himself he gained a lot of respect.
The child, Sintas was only a few months old when Cassus was born he raised the two like twins, and until they were to be taken under his wing Arla took good care of them. Meanwhile Shereshoy spent his time making armor and small arms, making a name for himself as one of the best (if not the best). It was a time of constant improvement, he kept close with his clan meeting with them regularly when he could balancing his work and his people precariously but well.
He started to make a lot of money as people came far and wide for his work, and he used this money to buy some land on Mandalore, a bigger estate for his family. He is a good father and when Sintas and Cassus needed he taught them how to be a Mandalorian and the secrets of his trade, but not limiting to them to his specialization he watched his children and saw their strengths and weaknesses, none were to follow after him for Cassus was to eventually join the shock troopers of his clan and Sintas the admired Fett clan as a scout.
Once he had seen his sons to men he took another, and another and has taken six to date. He started to improve his gun smith skills but he is most famed and talented at working with beskar, he is also a master at electronics and programming, he wanted a challenge so started to study about ship construction and stability for capital ships.
Now he had cooled down he was very popular and people came to him for advice, and he was happy to show people what he knew and took on apprentices and eventually became to be seen as a master Engineer with an even greater reputation than his masters.
He started to think of possibilities for extra income and started to specialize in non-beskar alloys as well in order to possibly start his own arms company for export, but he found himself not wanting to compete with the MandalMotors that had given him such opportunity and just kept perfecting his art, creating specialized weaponry.
He kept practicing on his beast, they had bonded to an extent that he had saved this particular beasts settings onto a hard drive which automatically uploaded the moments of practice and battle so he can keep his best friend even though death may take him for they had bonded in a way that only a Mandalorian and a Bes’ullik could.
He would also yearly go to see his father and his friends on Serenno, for he still kept them close in his heart despite the distance. This came in useful when he saw Mandalorian society cracking at the seams and when civil war seemed inevitable, he wanted to send his wife and children away as not to be caught in the conflict, but they ultimately refused.
The Civil War was inevitable and he instantly swore allegiance to Vencu and was on the front line for the first battle of Fenris where he covered the assaulting separatists, demoralizing the defenders who quickly lost. He spent most of the war behind enemy lines crippling facilities and power-grids. He didn't want to destroy any equipment so aimed to disable it for the cost of war would be great, and his people needed to be strong.
Before battles he would lead the engineers into preparing the machinery and even in the midst of combat he would fix the machines, gaining the honorary title “Warsmith”. He could repair almost anything, even under heavy fire and was a pragmatic leader, leading a sub sect of his clan to victory over loyalist forces time and time again.
Yet after the war he became more cynical and has kept a wary eye on the politics of the Mandalorians. It shocked him to see his people disintegrate so rapidly and he refuses to see it happen again, he has tied himself into the current political elite and uses what influence he has to keep his people on what he sees as the right track. This new war against the Republic conernes him but he believes it will help them become a united people again.
Unoto never forgave the Hutt who sent his wife on the suicide mission which ultimately killed her, but the rates he paid for Mandalorians were exquisite and once every few months he would disappear on contract. Unoto became good friends with Randolf, Randolf was born a peasant but managed to work his way up to the aristocracy and the two were kindred spirits and he respected the Mandalorian life of discipline, so when his father disappeared Shereshoy would live with the Duke and his children.
The Starport in Carannia was Shereshoy’s home he learned all there was to do with repairing ships from his Father including more importantly the way of his people, he did all he could to raise his son as a Mandalorian. Shereshoy remembers his first piece of armor, he never felt attached to it as strongly as one should at this point, a bad precedent that would have terrible repercussions later in life. He was more fascinated with rifles then ships and although his Father forbid him to try to create rifles in his spare time he would try to create makeshift weapons based on schematics he stole from his Fathers databank.
Shereshoy made friends with Randolfs son Randolf II. Their friendship stretches into the present date and every now and again Shereshoy will go to visit him to make sure all goes well and they are not in danger.
Unoto constantly fed his son tales of the ancients, stories of the Mandalore wars and the famous Mandalorians of times old (and new), that with his training made him want to be like the Crusaders of old, but more importantly he wanted to be a full member of his clan, a rider of the beasts of iron.
His father had amassed a small fortune through his work for the Count and after contact some old friends back on Mandalore he managed to attain the remnants of a badly damaged Bes’uliik. The power cells had all been ruptured; the CPU had been corrupted by the safety protocols after several failed attempts to change the source code had damaged it in such a way that it was completely inoperable and the Bes’uliik had been stripped off all of its armour plating and weapons leaving the skeleton which was so badly damaged that many would of just thrown it away.
Shereshoy was thrilled and for over half a year he worked alone on the beast, his Father gave him guidance and told him how to approach it and the information he needed on how to perform the vital repairs, but gave him far few materials so everything had to be done painstakingly by hand. After six months he managed to fix all but the chassis, the armor, weaponry and CPU all by hand. As the robotic limbs moved forward and the thrust engines activated the Duke and Unoto were impressed, but the work was not done yet, to become one with the iron beast the beast had to be awoken and this was an entirely new kettle of fish.
Shershoy fought on and completely wiped the computer of the machine, his father warned that so power was the damaged caused by the safety protocols that trying to initiate the main computer would cause the machine to self-destruct.
He had never done anything like this before and his father came to tutor him almost full time now as he learnt electrics and programming They wiped the computer so they had to start from scratch. It took three years to become fully proficient in the language of the Mandalorian engineers, constant trial and error. Eventually he manged to install the new safety protocols and install the scripts that gave the machine semi consciousness when activated, It was not so simple for his father had edited and made a lot of the scripts fail so he would manually have to find the problems and solve it himself.
So at age twelve he finally had his beast of iron. He remembers thoroughly the first time he flew his beast, it was a surreal experience, he knew finally the experience of the famous Mandalorians of old, the rush, the freedom in the air, with a beast that could destroy seemingly anything, it changed him.
His beast had no armor, no weapons, his Father forbid it, but he created something similar to an ion cannon, he had not the equipment to make functional weapons, but he had the energy to create ion beams which could disable foreign objects.
Shortly after when he became a man, his Father was upset but expected what came, Shershoy left a much saddened man to train to be a Mandalorian, the Count offered him a good job, but he wanted to be with his people, he wanted to go to Mandalore.
Taking a cargo ship he put the skeleton of his Basalissk on and paid for passage to Mandalore.
He rode his Basallisk to where he found his clan to be based, at first they were horrified by its appearance, one of the old men walking forward and sadly resting his hand on the beast he presumed to be severely damaged, once they had “spoken” to the beast and talked to Shershoy and he explained about his roots, they accepted them as one of their own and it was at this point that another life change event took place, the arming of his Basalisk.
There were four young Mandalorians like him, four completely alien different species and they treated the Basalisk like a wounded family pet, being gentle yet firm. They were obviously inexperienced as it took them awhile to assemble the armour plating, but what took longer was the insertion of the cannons.
He was told that he should name his companion for good luck, so he named him Gra’tua, vengeance. He now learnt the intricacies of combat on the Basalisk, they were a relatively rare sight in the Mandalorian military and he felt rather elitist in his naïve youth and was assured of his own self-importance.
At the age of eighteen after years of practice and working for the Hutts and other contractors to practice and earn money he was recalled for a strike on the black watch that were embedded into a fortress world in the cloak of the Sith, they would not expect the iron beasts to strike and did not have adequate defenses for such a brazen strike.
As a strike force assembled underneath the head of the clan at the time, he was told that he should not take part by a veteran because he had not maintained his basilisk in tip top condition and there were several flaws he had not addressed, he was also concerned about the maintenance of Shershoy’s armor. He took it as an insult and told the venerable man to **** off, words he always regretted. Then the general told Shershoy that he was forbidden to fly, the angry youth sulked off, making all think less of him. As they shot off into the battle, the enraged Shershoy hacked into the lock on his machine, destroyed the security protocols and in the process destroying the seal which kept it in the ship and it fell to the battle bellow with Shershoy on its back. The machine was not up to scratch, but he was too blinded by pride to see this, he accelerated to maximum speed, cutting through the atmosphere and speeding past his comrades who were in shock at him disobeying orders. He lost control of his Basalisk as the computer unit cut out, causing them to enter a spiral making them easy targets for the death watch defenses, his comrades could only look on in shock as the anti aircraft turret locked on and shot through the center of the iron beast, the first round deflected off but because of inefficient repairs the second round penetrated the hull igniting the primary focusing cells and gas canisters causing the machine to combust, even with the safety features it could not stop the machine breaking completely, it was not far from the floor and as it fell vertically it crashed into the floor the section which held Shershoy and its safety features to absorb shock could not deal with the intensity and he was propelled twenty feet through the air, breaking most of the bones in his body.
