• Warborn Envoy
• Tracyn’ad

Nickname(s): Ve
Sex: Female
Appearance: Veyla Krann stands at about 5’9” (175 cm) with a lean, powerful build — every movement precise, born from years of fighting and survival. Her skin is lightly tanned from time spent on harsh worlds, with faint scars on her arms and neck that she doesn’t bother to hide.

Her face is sharp and angular, with high cheekbones and a slightly broken nose — a souvenir from her earliest bounty days. A jagged scar slices through her right eyebrow, giving her a permanently narrowed, calculating gaze even when she’s at rest.

Her eyes are a striking, pale ice-blue, almost silver under certain lights, giving her an intense, predatory look.

Her hair is raven-black, thick and usually pulled back into a loose combat braid that falls down between her shoulder blades, messy but deliberate — strands often slipping loose when she’s in action.

Her armor is made of beskar, but it’s customized:

• Muted gunmetal gray and deep cobalt blue dominate the plating, with signs of careful maintenance but clear battle wear.
• The chestplate is sleek, designed for flexibility rather than bulk, with subtle Mandalorian sigils etched faintly onto the shoulder pauldrons — an homage to her lost clan, worn without boasting.
• She wears a short, torn black cape over her left shoulder, almost like a badge of survival.
• Utility belts and holsters crisscross her hips, carrying a variety of weapons and gadgets.
• A small vibroblade is sheathed at the small of her back.
• When armored, she typically keeps her T-shaped visor helmet clipped to her belt unless combat is imminent.

In diplomatic settings, she sometimes removes or lightens her armor — wearing dark underlayers (blacks and grays) reinforced with light armor plates — keeping her dangerous edge while attempting to look “negotiable.”

Personality: Veyla can be considered cool, commanding, yet sardonic. She values honor and personal codes over laws or politics. Ruthlessly pragmatic, she will strike a deal, or kill, depending on what protects the Republic best. Haunted by the fact that she’s become something of a traitor to her people by aligning with the Republic — yet believing it’s the only way to save them from annihilation.
Force Sensitivity: None
Abilities/Skills:

• Master in hand-to-hand combat and blaster marksmanship
• Highly skilled in diplomacy (especially “negotiations” backed by implied violence)
• Flight and operation of customized starships
• Deep understanding of Mandalorian clans, Sith politics, and black market networks
• Minor training with advanced weapons tech (mini-rockets, flamethrowers, grav traps)

Gear:

• Customized beskar’gam armor — less flashy than traditional Mandalorian designs, muted in gray-blue tones, with modular plates that allow her to remove pieces to appear less threatening in diplomatic contexts.
• Wrist-rocket launcher, hidden vibroblade, and a holdout blaster for emergencies.
• A “diplomatic” starship that’s secretly armed to the teeth.

2. Beskar Armor Proficiency
   
   • Fully adept at using her armor’s capabilities without becoming over-reliant on it.
   • Modifies gear based on the situation (stealth, diplomacy, or direct combat).

   • Unshaken by threats or posturing, able to face down crime lords, warlords, or political snakes.
   • Uses her reputation as leverage in diplomatic settings.

Weaknesses:

   • Carries guilt over her actions as a bounty hunter and her perceived betrayal of Mandalore.
   • Occasionally second-guesses herself when dealing with fellow Mandalorians.
2. Outsider Status
   
   • Not fully trusted by either side: viewed as a tool by some in the Republic, and a traitor by some Mandalorians.
   • Always has to work twice as hard to prove her intentions.
3. Blunt and Direct
   
   • Can come off as aggressive or confrontational, especially to career politicians.
   • Often alienates more delicate or refined diplomats.
4. Limited Political Patience
   
   • Loathes bureaucracy, delays, and committee indecision.
   • Has been known to take matters into her own hands, sometimes jeopardizing diplomatic protocol.
5. Trust Issues
   
   • Keeps most people at arm’s length; slow to form meaningful alliances.
   • Prefers to work alone or with a very tight, vetted circle.
6. Reputation Precedes Her
   
   • Her violent past makes peaceful negotiations harder with groups who fear or resent her name.
   • Some may challenge her just to prove something.

Biography:
Born into a minor Mandalorian clan that survived the Sith Empire’s manipulation during the Great Galactic War, Veyla Krann grew up learning that loyalty was just another currency — bought and sold like any other. As a young warrior, she made her name hunting Sith defectors, rogue Jedi, and war criminals, no matter which side they fought for.

She amassed a fearsome reputation for precision hits and unshakable professionalism, always getting the job done — but only accepting contracts she deemed “honorable” by her personal code. After witnessing too many Mandalorian clans torn apart by Sith manipulation and internal betrayal, she grew disillusioned with the endless cycle of violence. When the Republic approached her during the Cold War, offering a way to shape galactic events instead of just killing their perpetrators, she made the unthinkable choice: she laid down her rifle — at least officially.

Now, Veyla serves as a Republic Diplomatic Envoy to the Mid Rim and Outer Rim territories. She specializes in negotiations with warlords, pirate factions, rogue Mandalorian clans, and neutral systems — anyone too dangerous or stubborn for regular ambassadors to handle. She’s the kind of diplomat who shows up in beskar armor and places her blaster on the table during negotiations — a stark reminder that peace is often a fragile thing, and violence remains an option.

Extra Tidbits:

• Distrusted by many Republic senators (“She’s just a killer with a better paycheck.”)
• Viewed as a traitor by hardcore Mandalorians, hunted by radical clans loyal to the Sith Empire.
• Constantly walking the line between maintaining diplomacy and reverting to her bounty hunter instincts.
