Character Name: Bella Adler.
Class: Assassin/saboteur/mercenary.
Gender: Female.
Age: Twenty-three years of age.
Height: 5' 10"
Race: Human.
Appearance:
Homeworld: Dantooine.
Personality: Much of Bella's personality is shaped by the Mandalorian Code. Believing utterly in the supremacy of honour and skill over cowardice and treachery, she is quick to trust once and slow to trust again if she is betrayed. She will bear no grudge against those who attack her openly, welcoming the chance to test her ability against new enemies and become a better warrior. In fact, she will even let enemies live if they have conducted themselves honourably and skillfully against her. If, however, an enemy betrays her, or attacks after an honourable surrender, she will do everything in her power to hunt them down and slay them.
As the Code dictates, Bella is inherently moral. Although she is a contract killer, she will not take contracts for those she perceives to be unjust and will even tip off potential targets if she believes that she is serving the cause of justice. Likewise, should she wrong someone she will offer them a suitable recompense whenever possible. This extends even to those she may find herself at odds with, however much she may dislike this. Having said that, it should come as no surprise that she finds those who lack a similar set of morals odd at best and downright evil at worst. In fact, one of the easiest ways to anger her is to go in direct contravention of the codes of honour Bella lives by, and will one day die for.
Biography: Bella was born into a large Mandalorian family in exile on Dantooine. The only girl out of five children she rapidly developed an interest in fighting, partly to stave off her older brothers and partly out of respect to the warrior code of her people. By the time she was twelve she had begun to memorise portions of the Mandalorian code and by the time she was seventeen she had decided what she would do with her life. Unfortunately her parents, who had rejected the Mandalorian way of life, repeatedly warned her against taking such steps.
In the face of that advice, Bella stole her mother's suit of armour and left the family to find work as a mercenary in the wider galaxy. In the first year and a half of this career, she lost herself in the heady rush of combat, the exultation of blood and killing. She worked with more and more disreputable sorts, culminating in her massacring a school in order to send a political message. As soon as the rush died away, Bella looked around her at the bodies and the blood and the fire and stepped off of the path she was walking.
The first steps of her new path were to find her previous employers and right the wrongs she had done for them. Suffice to say every single one of them was dealt with: their funds transferred to the local government with which to build new schools and provide for the families who had lost children. When the police finally made their way into the gang's headquarters they were astounded at the thoroughness with which Bella had cleaned up her own mess: every last member of the gang was laid in their central meeting room, cuffed to chairs.
With her new-found discipline, Bella travelled the galaxy to
Weapons:
Set of Mandalorian Armour: Although not technically a weapon, this suit of armour is integral to Bella's ability to fight. Incorporating two forearm mounted grapple-anchors, a jump jet system and a commslink integrated into the Morning Star, the suit is designed to allow for Bella's typically mobile fighting style. Despite allowing for a fair degree of resistance to blaster-fire as well as physical weapons, the armour is modified to reduce weight and allow for range of motion as opposed to providing excellent degrees of protection.
Brace of Blaster Pistols: As a matter of honour, Bella favours close-in engagements over long-ranged sniper duels and so a pair of modified pistols provides her preferred means of attack. Thanks to tireless practice, Bella can fire both independently, with no small amount of help from her suit's HUD. Although capable of an excellent rate of fire even when on the move and in chaotic situations, the pistols are inherently close-ranged weapons, losing accuracy rapidly with distance. In addition to this, they lack penetrative ability against anything much better than body armour, let alone vehicular armour.
Knives: It was, to a degree, inevitable that Bella would find herself drawn to knives as a weapon. They are lethal, specific and short-ranged and provide her with a degree of penetration she would otherwise be lacking. Bella usually keeps around half a dozen knives on her at any given time and uses them both to engage in hand-to-hand combat with enemies as well as to throw or even help her when climbing! Although a versatile and utilitarian addition to her armament, Bella dislikes using knives when she doesn't have to. After all, blasters can be set to stun and fists can knock a person out without injury, but a knife will always scar.
Grenades: Unlike many of her compatriots, who gladly use thermal detonators as often as they can, Bella only ever keeps one thermal detonator on her at any given time, in case she runs into something too large for her to kill or incapacitate with her usual armament. However, Bella also keeps a plethora of other grenades and grenade-style weapons, from smoke grenades through flashbangs and droid poppers to goop-launchers. She uses these wherever possible to take down enemies without killing them and proceed to her target without undue resistance, and they have a surprisingly wide variety of other uses as well.
Ship: The Morning Star is a Davaab-class starfighter, heavily customised as is expected for that breed of starship. The laser cannon have been replaced with ion blasters, aimed at giving enemy pilots a chance to bail before their craft hits the ground. The gunner has also been replaced, with the ion blasters being linked into Bella's helmet allowing her to point and blink to fire the weapons. When added to Bella's ability to control the ship from her suit, this makes it perfect as a one-woman pickup and insertion ship.
Strengths: Bella is a blur on the battlefield, darting from target to target with incredible speed and taking them down within moments of each other. A skilled warrior, as befits a Mandalorian, she has a keen mind for the short-term plans of the battlefield and can choreograph her fights almost like a dance. Mobile and agile, she can often run rings around more powerful enemies and debilitate them with a variety of effects before swooping in to finish the fight.
Weaknesses: Although she is fast, Bella sacrifices much of her protection to achieve this. Combined with her naturally light figure, this makes her a fragile combatant, always one hit away from going down. At the same time, she lacks the pure muscle mass to make devastating blows, relying on precision and momentum to take down her enemies. But perhaps her greatest weakness is her code of honour. As much as it empowers her, it also makes her easily angered and predictable. This only compounds her inability to subtly approach most situations, making her vulnerable to being out-thought by her opponents if she is not careful.

RP Sample:
Looks good-Accepted, but two problems-you need a starting location, and your biography cuts out after the "new-found discipline" line.
On a side note, this is the third straight RP I have been in with someone with the last name of Adler. Is there something going on that I ought to know about?
It does say work in progress
