Name: Brock Highway
Class: Soldier
Age: 57
Sex: Male
Height/Weight: 6'6" 240 Lbs
Species: Human (Cyborg)
Appearance:
Brock is tall and heavy but his weight as actually much greater than what you would guess. All his cybernetic implants within his body and his robotic right arm weigh considerably.
His hair used to be brown but has turned gray a long time ago. His level of activity is impressive for someone his age but frequent kolto and later bacta injections have pushed back old age for him and the extent of his cybernetics make up for any physical weaknesses his body has developed. He looks a little younger than his true age and his body is as fit as someone in their 30’s.
His head and face shows signs of his cybernetic implants. Places where the skin has been replaced with access ports or scars from an implantation surgery. Some of them even plug into his battle suit to help feed his body information.

Range: 10
Personal Items:
----- T-86 Heavy Battlesuit
Designed by the Republic and modified by the Mandalorians, Brock’s T-86 is heavily armored with Durasteel plates and motorized joints to help lift some of its own weight. It might not be Besker, but against most small arms it’s just as good.
----- Republic Assault Cannon
Big, Dumb and Powerful. Designed with the phrase “You don’t need to be more accurate, you just need to shoot more bullets” in mind. It has an extremely rapid firing rate and each shot packs a heavy punch but it it short range, inaccurate, and depletes energy cells faster than the whole planet of Coruscant. Brock can only fire the thing 30 seconds continuously.
----- Heavy Blaster Pistol
Charged with 20 shots per power cell, this sidearm might as well be surgically attached to Brock at the hip. He wears it everywhere.
----- Knife
Curved blade, good for hacking and throwing.

Bio: Brock’s life began as Project 218151. He was a test tube baby produced by Dr. White and his team as a prelude to the Mr. Blue project. His genetics were gathered from multiple sources and spliced in order to make him a perfect specimen for accepting cybernetics.
218151 was considered a success. He was grown to the biological age of 10 and then given some minor cybernetics implanted such as a cochlear implant which enhanced his hearing and allowed him to listen in on com signals tuned to him. Other implants included a neural net system throughout his body to make future cybernetic limb replacements easier and a bio chip in his spinal cord to enhance reaction time and regulate bodily functions. He took these implants with great success, showing not even the slightest sign of rejection.
Being deemed a success and all pertinent information gleaned, he was abandoned in THE PEARL when the facility was evacuated and self destructed. The section of the facility with his stasis pod floated to the surface of Mon Calamari where he was picked up by a salvage team which had picked up the large metal debris on their sensor and thought it was a quick buck.
218151 couldn’t even speak basic at the time so he was placed in an orphanage for troubled youngsters. His childhood was marred by violent outbursts due to his frustration at being so behind all the other kids. Even in a school devoted to troubled children of various kinds, most of them could speak to one another while he had to learn to speak to communicate. He did poorly in class and preferred things like working out or playing sports in the gym. Despite all his issues, he was adopted by a family who had joined a colonization team headed to the outer rim.
Brock’s life didn’t get any easier. Growing up on a colony, isolated from the Galaxy at large and without a lot of resources a city could provide, he became tough as nails and hard as rock. He got a reputation as a bully in school and was suspended more than once for violence. He loved his family though, loyal to them in every way. They were the ones who took him in and trusted him, the first time anyone had done something like that.
At age 20, he signed up for the Republic Marines. He left the family that he loved and went to Marine Training camp on Corellia. The highly structured and scheduled life of boot camp made sure he was on track all the time. He did what he was told and learned things like marksmanship and how to strip a weapon better than most in his class. Generally he did poor at intellectual things like history but did very well in practical things like meeting physical standards and manual labor.
When he got to his first unit, he was one of the most squared away people there even though he was probably the least intelligent. After a year at his unit seeing no action, Brock volunteered for a Republic Military experimentation program. The program was looking for volunteers to submit to testing and receiving possible cybernetic implants. Brock was their best subject since the artificial neural network implant allowed him to take cybernetics much more easily and efficiently.
The experimental implants he was given ranged from simple joint reinforcement to a sub-dermal Kolto/Bacta injection system that monitors his life signs and injects him with the healing drug when he sustains major injuries.
While he liked the Military life, he had a problem with his fellow soldiers. A lot of them weren’t as into the Marines as he was. A lot of them just joined to pay for school so they could get a good job when they got out. Brock felt like the Marine Corp was his second family and that these people were merely using it as a stepping stone for something else.
From this early stage he was interested in the Mandalorian culture. Their warrior mentality and their loyalty to their cause captivated his interest. When the war with the Mandalorians broke out, Brock went into battle with his Unit. He lost 80% of his company within the first engagement because their leader had never seen combat and seemed surprised that the Marine Corp would ask them to fight when all he needed was money for college. Likewise the soldiers themselves weren’t that into it. Brock and a few others were the only soldiers who gave a damn about the conflict and were the only survivors.
Brock was captured. He was interrogated for information but he didn’t talk. He toughed his way through the torture, and earned some measure of respect for his resistance to the pain and his knowledge of Mandalorian Culture.
Eventually the Mandalorian raiders who had captured him decided to leave him for dead. Brock escaped, killed them, took their ship and traveled to Mandalore. The feat of his escape was impressive enough to earn him some honor and begrudging respect among the clan he made contact with and Brock decided to become Mandalorian.
Mandalorian life was good for him. The structure, honor and obedience fit his personality and as a ex soldier of the republic he brought something to them that the Mandalorians didn’t have, professionalism.
He fought the Republic for years until the warfront moved to his parents colony. The Mandalorians descended on the colony with their Basilisk war droids and slaughtered everyone there in order to loot the colony for resources. Brock saw no honor in this and left the Mandalorians. He didn’t betray his clan or his unit, he merely packed his bag and left.
He works as a mercenary now. A Soldier for hire, angry at the world for the death of his adoptive parents and how he has no military family to go to. He drinks heavily and gets himself in and out of jail on a regular basis.
