History

Teroch was born during a relatively quiet period of stability following the Galactic Civil War to Rav Kodiak and an unknown human male (however, given Teroch’s complexion, it’s often surmised that his father could’ve been Kiffar; he never cared enough to find out). His mother brought him up in the traditional Mandalorian manner, making sure that, like all Mandalorians, he adhered to the Resol'nare. He was an easygoing youth who never seemed to be in a bad mood. During the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion, Rav stayed back on Dxun to look after a lot of the clan’s children should anything happen to their parents.

While he was growing up, he was used to seeing various additions to the Kodiak Clan being sent for indoctrination, such as Celahir, Voden and Maaks, and like the other youths of the camp and enjoyed the friendship of all of the clan. He became something of a good-luck mascot, as he stayed back after his eighth birthday (usually, when Mandalorian children reached the age of eight, they accompanied their father while he worked out in the wider galaxy, but with Teroch not knowing his father, he opted to stay with his mother). Given that there were no other children his age staying behind at the camp, he learned to be very comfortable in the company of adults.

Unfortunately, that all changed on the day of his eleventh birthday. Maaks, a former inhabitant of the Kodiak Camp, had become enamoured with a longtime rival of Sashar Erinos, Dash Kuatir. As their war escalated and more casualties fell on both sides, Maaks inadvertently let slip the location of the Kodiak Camp. Dash immediately sent one of his ships to [starwars:Onderon|Onderon] and orbitally bombarded the camp. Most of the inhabitants were killed, and only those who’re lucky enough to be in the storage unit of the bunker (about thirty meters underground) performing routine maintenance survived. Sashar, Kieran and Juda returned to the camp a few days later after having disrupted Dash’s efforts on Nar Shaddaa and were able to save the trapped Kodiaks. Riddled with guilt, Sashar took them to the Erinos camp on Arconae Primus and, after talking things over with Voden, offered to adopt Teroch. With his mother dead and no home, the youth accepted and, in a typically Mando approach to the situation, didn’t dwell on the death of his mother, knowing that she’d never have wanted him to sit around moping. He accompanied Sashar everywhere, learning from his new father the tricks of the trade, and even when Voden moved to the Jusadih System to join Plagueis, he stuck with Sashar.

Realising that, as Consul, he’d be nothing but a target, and by extension, so would Teroch, Sashar stepped down and instead took up command of his old squad, Soulfire Strike Team.

As Teroch was too young to actively serve in the squad, Sashar instead had him serve as the analyst for Soulfire when they were actively deployed. This allowed him to keep his son safe, but also kept him learning about how to fight. It was discovered when Teroch inadvertently became a member of Soulfire’s Battle Meld that he was Force sensitive. That he had lived so long in close proximity to Sashar and other Force-sensitive mandalorians was attributed to the ‘magnetic factor’ (put simply, Force users were sub-consciously attracted to one anothers’ company, and Sashar exuded a more powerful draw than most, resulting in more force users joining him). However, both he and Voden agreed that Teroch wouldn’t be trained, so that the Brotherhood wouldn’t try to recruit him.

Appearance

Teroch

Teroch is fairly tall for his age, and still has the gangly look of a teenager, not having yet filled his body with muscle. Nevertheless, there is little fat on his form, and his skin is olive in colour, his hair black and messy, his eyes dark. As a mandalorian he is almost never seen out of his armour, however, when the need dictates, he prefers low-slung baggy pants made from a durable material with a myriad of pockets, heavy combat boots and a black wife-beater. He also often accompanies this with a nerf-hide coat a few sizes too large for him (given that it belonged to his father, Voden). He is never seen without a small silver pendant about his neck shaped like a vial. In fact, the pendant contains a very small amount of Sashar’s blood. This allows Sashar to track him wherever in the galaxy he is through the Arcona Force technique Dathomiri Blood Trail, should the youth be captured.

Psychological Profile

The Erinos is remarkably well-adjusted, given the tragedy in his recent past. This is put down to a combination of immediately having a loving and healthy replacement family standing by and his upbringing as a Mandalorian; As a lifestyle choice, they all accept that death is commonplace, and as such adoption is a common occurrence. Teroch is unusual for a teenager, he is rarely moody; in fact most of the people who regularly interact with him note his cheery and cocky attitude. He has few friends his own age (regularly saving them for sexual experimentation more than actual companionship) and is at ease around his family and Soulfire. His way of fitting in with his elders seems to be by having a filthy mouth, often swearing more than is necessary (and in a multitude of languages). The only issues arise seen so far are a slight insecurity from living in his father’s shadow. Both are force users, and Sashar is something of a legend in the Dajorra system. This can sometimes develop as an inferiority complex in Teroch which he disguises as bravado, but it has crippled him once already during a critical situation, causing Sashar to have to step in to save him. It is hoped that he will grow out of this.

Combat

Teroch is highly agile and given his small stature, uses his size and speed to great advantage when forced into direct combat. He is incredibly comfortable with a wide variety of single-handed pistols and carbines (he avoids weapons with strong recoil), and also favours bladed weapons such as throwing knives, shuriken, kunai etc. Unlike Sashar, he dives into a fray and chooses to react more reflexively than anything, blitzing his opponent with his speed and dexterity rather than waiting and trying to tire them out. However, given his age, Sashar and Voden try to keep him from combat unless absolutely necessary. Instead, Voden trained his son extensively in his role as Soulfire’s Analyst and Teroch was an able student.

The Force

Teroch has little training in the Force, but massive, massive potential. Sashar has stated that, if Teroch were trained properly, he’d outshine him. Nevertheless, Both Voden and Sashar have agreed that he’s not to undergo training, mainly to keep him safe from Brotherhood recruitment. His ability with the Force has been kept quiet and thus far only other members of the Erinos Family know. His only skills seem to be enhancing his abilities, precognition, and (interestingly) psychometry.

Hand-to-Hand Combat

Teroch has learned a myriad of hand to hand techniques, but seems to favour Jeswandi more than any other. He enjoys the range of movement it offers, however he also has been known to utilise Dulon when the need arises. He also learned Hapan simply to teach him how to throw a punch properly, and has earned the pride of his fathers for once flooring a weequay with a single blow to the face.

Lightsaber Combat

Teroch only has a passing familiarity with lightsabers; namely, how to stay out of their way, and combat against them using more conventional fare. He prefers using high-yield, wide bore AP rounds to negate their effectiveness.

Gear

As Sashar’s son, his equipment is state of the art, often modified far beyond its original specifications, and obviously second to none.

Armour

Unable to get access to any beskar, Sashar instead crafted his son a suit of durasteel armour. The plates covered all the essentials and were attached to a black bodymesh. Teroch opted for orange colouring , signifying a uniquely Mandalorian lust for life. Like his father, he opted not to have weapons installed on the armour, as they’d probably impede his mobility, and thus covered it in a myriad of sheaths, pouches and holsters for his various tools of destruction and dismemberment.
