Background
Avert was only seven years old when his parents left Pantora, looking for a better life for themselves and their three children. They made it almost to the serine agri-world of Broest, but the shuttle ferrying them and several other settlers was attacked by pirates and crash landed. A contingent of mercenaries, hired by the Salliche Ag Corporation to deal with the pirate problem, was first on the scene. One of the warriors, a clanless Mandalorian by the name of Tannet Nogs, pulled the only survivor, a malnourished blue-skinned boy, out of the wreckage. Taking this as a sign, the Tannet took the boy in as a foundling and left Broest looking for a clan that would take them in.
The two of them eventually ended up joining Bel Ferin and his small clan of warriors. Tannet cared for Avert like he was his own son, although the burden of raising the boy, just like any foundlings, fell to the entire clan. After years of serving, Tannet had become Bel Ferin’s right hand man. It was therefore fitting that it was at the right side of the man that Tannet fell, trying but failing to shield his friend from incoming fire.
Although many of the warriors left the clan after the loss of Bel Ferin, the thought never even crossed Avert’s mind. He felt a bond between himself and Jan. Perhaps because the man who practically adopted him fell in the same battle that she lost her father in. He stood by her as she consolidated the position of the clan by purchasing property on Rannon.
Avert was one of the first warriors Jan sent out into the galaxy after stabilizing her position somewhat, after the parents of a well-known teenage holo-star gave into her whims to hire an actual Mandalorian as her bodyguard. The credits the contract got the clan helped Jan arm more warriors and fortify the clan’s stronghold. Which is why she was disappointed when Avert returned less than a year later, after having been fired from his job for what the star’s parents called “encouraging her rebellious streak”.
Motivation
Obligations
- Adrenalin Rush (5): Avert has always been a troublemaker. From the child who thought burning a speeder was a fun way to spend the afternoon, to the teenager who went out looking to pick a fight most evenings, he has always looked for trouble if it didn‘t bother seeking him out first. Avert has never backed down from a fight of any kind and gets antsy when things are calm and peaceful.
- Responsibility (5): While working away from the clan, Avert was hired as the bodyguard of Eva Tonstar, a former child prodigy and currently a teen mega-holo-star. Although he resented the little brat with her insane demands at first, they eventually came to an understanding and Avert started thinking about Eva as a little sister. After nearly a year at her side she started rebelling against her parents by refusing to act in any more holos. Her parents blamed Avert for this rebelliousness and fired him, but both Avert and Eva know that if she ever gets into trouble he will move entire planets if that’s what it takes to keep her safe.
Description
With a handsome face and a cocky grin that’s almost a shame to hide behind a helmet, Avert is used to turning heads where ever he goes. His blue skin, yellow facial tattoos and lavender-tinted, buzz-cut hair also make him stick out in most crowds. Avert is of average height for a Pantoran, standing 182 cm tall in his socks, with an athletic build. His armor is striking, painted black and white, but to most trained observers it is obvious that it is not beskar. He carries a powerful rifle and a pistol, but his most prized possession is his jetpack. His friends joke that he takes that thing to bed with him, and Avert has never bothered denying it.
