Fiction:Kando Dorum

"In life, misery, in battle, peace. In life, dishonor, in death, atonement."

- Kando Dorum

Kando Dorum is the veteran pilot of the Warrior-Hunter mech known as 2203 Jet Blazer, and considered one of, if not the, oldest serving Warrior-Hunter pilot and fighter in service. A rather fatalistic fellow, Kando seeks to die a glorious death on the field, by killing as many enemy Zarbanian War-beasts as possible before expiring.

Despite his dedication to the alliance, and his impressive kill streak, Kando has gotten on the bad side of many for his less the pleasing features. Like most of his kin, he is stubborn and absolutely refuses to buckle to command. he also has quite the drinking problem, and is quite a slob in private.

However, this does not distract from his skill at arms. Despite yielding what some would say is an out-dated Mecha, Kando still leads field operations with expert ease, doing better with an older model, then most would do in teams with their newer models.

Early life
Kando was born in the colony Creresto, home to the Cresakt people. Kando was born to the Clan Dorum, and from the moment of his birth, was trained in the art of war like many of his kind, though his father had left him at an early age. In a culture where parents where the biggest source of pride for young warriors, having no father stung deep. However, he himself never gravitated towards war, instead becoming a famous speeder pilot on his world, becoming a famous racer on the planet, though an infamous risk-taker. Befriending another speeder pilot, Yugron Kiton, a Cresakt, Kando grew close to him, both enjoying the attention their life-styles got them.

The 2 became fast friends, getting into trouble often with authorities on the planet, barely avoiding trouble at times. However, on one night, Yugron would lose his life in an accident that Kando survived. Shell-shocked by his friend's death, Kando swore to leave his Clan, and go into exile until he could reclaim his lost honor.

Kando would travel for years, fighting alongside Mendel forces, killing hundreds of enemies of the Pact, including Zarbanians, Imperium of War, Brotherhood forces, and Alpha Cyber Collective forces to regain his honor. However, he continually faced defeat when faced with the Zarbania Powers' own Warrior-Beast project.

After surviving countless battles, Kando was approached to partake in a new project by the newly formed UAE. Accepting, Kando was brought into the Project:Warrior-Hunter. Not sure what to make of it, Kando partook, training in hand-to-hand combat and various weapons systems, including linking his brain with a machine built by the Multus. Still mystified by the strange experiments going on, Kando stuck with it, not sure what to do.

By the end of the program, the UAE revealed the new program; Project:Warrior-Hunter. Designed with gigantic mechas, organic war machines, and kaiju of their own, the UAE would counter the Zarbanians' own forces with everything they had, creating a machine to bond with Kando. Named 2203 Jet Blazer, Kando found himself brought into active service multiple times to combat the Zarbanian threat, though again and again saw his comrades die horrifying deaths. As a side effect of his time with his observer, the AI brain that helped handle the Mecha, called a "Jager", Kando developed near photographic memory, remembering every comrade he meet, and every one of their deaths. He would find one friend in all of this, the fellow-hunter,.

Shaken beyond words by all he had seen, Kando decided life was simply not worth living with all the suffering he had seen, and resolved to die a glorious death on the field, killing as many Zarbanians and their War-Beasts as he could, so the memories he created in others minds would be something far better.

Personality
Kando usually keeps a low profile about himself, while also being quite relaxed around everyone, and not really caring what most have to say about him. Despite, he is very aggressive, known for hitting people who attempt to insult him. Kando, however, inspires great respect in those that serve under him, commonly letting others stay back, and watch, as he gloriously, and gorily, tears apart enemy beasts. Kando remembers every comrade he fights, and usually, trys to remember the positive aspects of living with them, but often cannot help but remember the worst parts of their deaths, such as being torn apart or telepathically tortured. Late at night, when by himself, Kando is known to silently shed a few tears even, when the memories come back, though he cares little, believing a true man cries at the very worst of times.

Despite his fatalistic need to die a glorious death on the battlefield, Kando is still an expert warrior and leader, leading his teams to victory, as he views leading others to death in pursuit of his own as the greatest sully upon his honor, and would not want people to remember him as leading others to death.

Due to the high death rate which comes with the job, Kando keeps little contact with rookies and new-comers to the program, preferring to act distant and gruff towards them until they have earned his trust.

Appearance
Kando is a very tall member of his species, but noted to be somewhat thinner then usual, and having a very pale complexion. It's believed his unhealthy drinking and living habits have helped in this, as otherwise, he would be very healthy for one of his kind.

Kando's skin and scales are colored brown, and the left side of his face is noted to have 3 scars across his eye, and his canine is missing from the left side of his face. Kando's skin is actually tougher then most of his kind, due to coming form a desert world.

Abilities
Kando is an expert hand-to-hand combatant and marksmen, and is quite powerful in a real fist-fight, something that carries over to his abilities as a pilot, which he is exceptional at. While his abilities have been hampered by his unhealthy living, he is still quite capable in most battles.

Kando's fighting style focuses on using his clawed finger tips to cut deeply into his targets. While seen as graceful, with even his comrade Kenvash admitting he has the best movement and balance of any of the Warrior-Hunters, it's effects a devastating in battle.

Kando, while not a Blademaster, is considered a highly skilled swordsmen, and has felled many Zarbanian Warrior-beasts with his Progressive Claymore.

2203 jet Blazer
2203 Jet Blazer is Kando's Warrior-Hunter. A vaguely humanoid machine, the robot is somewhat thin and gangly, like it's pilot, though built with agility and speed over brute power and durability. The machine has standard armor expected for a Warrior-Hunter, with large shoulder pylon armor pieces, and a large scabbard across it's back to hold it's progressive Claymore. The right arm is capable of collapsing into a Plasma Caster Arm Canon, good for mid to long ranged combat.

Jet Blazer also carries in it's left arm, a Reflex Laser canon, an anti-armor attachment used to melt and blast it's way through heavily armored foes, vehicles and buildings when needed. Contained within it's shoulders are a number of missile launchers that launch target following spikes which impact with, and explode in a target.

Due to the combination of minds, Pilot and Observer, Jet is known to not only seek glory in battle, but rush forth like an excited child, butchering and slaughtering it's way through targets, while protecting it's allies with an extreme aggression unseen in any other.
