Vexa Galen | Mandalorian Forgemaster

Name=Vexa Galen of Clan Drogan Sex=Female Species=Human Mandalorian

What do you look like? I'm 5'11" with a muscular build. I've got long blonde hair dyed blue, usually tied back to stay out of my way. I'm good looking, but you don't get to be a forgemaster without an assortment of burns and scars along the way - and I have my share.

My Mandalorian armor is distinctive pink with white trim. My armor features a weathered, metallic chest plate, shoulder pads, and gauntlets, all extensively modified and designed for both combat and mobility. I'm quite proud of it, one of my best works as a Forgemaster apprentice.

How old are you? 27. I became Forgemaster Torvis Drel's apprentice when I was 18.

Do you have any relatives? I'm an only child, so it's just me and dad. Torvis Drel is not a relative by blood but he is possibly more of a father figure to me than my actual dad.

Torvis is a multi-faceted person, capable of being stern and serious, but he's also gregarious and jovial. He can be demanding, but supportive and genuinely cares about me. He'll push a person to the limits, believing that true growth comes from overcoming adversity under pressure.

What jobs or titles have you held? I am an apprentice forgemaster for my clan, Under Master Torvis. This is possibly the most important job one can hold in Mandalorian society. The process of working with beskar is a closely guarded secret, utilizing precise techniques developed over thousands of years to shape the metal without compromising its integrity.

A forgemaster is not just a craftsman and weaponsmith, but also a spiritual guide and keeper of the Resol'nare, the Six Actions. I uphold the traditions and values of Mandalorian society, I act as a crucial component in maintaining the cultural identity and continuity, especially during times of diaspora and persecution. I oversee the blessing of the sacred waters, the ritual used to initiate new members and mark their formal acceptance and commitment to the creed.

Calling it an important responsibility is vastly understating my future roll.

What are some positive mental traits? I like to think that I come across as genuinely warm and approachable towards others. I tried doing the “Mean, Gruff, Stoic Mando” thing once and it just wasn't me.

Also, you might think me flippant, but I take my responsibilities as an apprentice forgemaster seriously. However while I take the job seriously, I see no problem having a bit of fun too. I am all about finding joy and humor in life.

Life is too short to be serious all the time!

What are some negative mental traits? While I can be nice and personable, I can also be REAL mean when the need calls for it. My apparent irreverence occasionally causes people to challenge me. “How can such an irresponsible child serve as the clan spiritual leader? No proper warrior would have armor that looks like that!” one person said once upon a time.

I broke her arm in three places.

My master also says that I am a perfectionist when it comes to my craftsmanship, and sometimes this can spill over into other areas as stubbornness. While I don't see it as negative, I guess I do occasionally let perfect be the enemy of good.

What are your hopes and fears? My greatest hope is easy: become a Forgemaster worthy of ten generations of song. I want to forge armor that not only embodies our cultural heritage but also pioneers new standards in durability and functionality.

But beyond the craftsmanship, I aspire to be the best spiritual leader I can be, contributing to Mandalorian unity and strength, fostering alliances among clans and ensuring our traditions thrive in an ever-changing galaxy.

And selfishly, I wouldn't mind being known as a badass warrior or renowned True Master of the Forge. A place in history would be nice.

My greatest fear? Failing in my responsibilities as a Forgemaster or being unable to live up to the expectations placed upon me by master Torvis.

Do you have a religion? Of course I'm a follower of the Resol'nare, the Six Actions - it's the core of what it means to be a Mandalorian. It's a sacred code that creates a strong sense of identity and unity, giving us direction and purpose. Wearing the armor is the honor and a duty of all Mandalorians.

This is The Way.
