CHARACTER INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME: Din Djarin, though he's better known as "the Mandalorian" or "Mando"
CANON: Star Wars (The Mandalorian)
TIMELINE: Post-S2
AGE: Early to mid-forties

REFERENCE: Wookieepedia

PERSONALITY:

Throughout the galaxy, Mandalorians are known to be two things: fighters and killers. Din, who walks around in full armour with weapons on display, has never bothered contradicting this, but he doesn't elaborate either. He speaks sparingly, focuses on the task at hand, and chooses to work alone where no-one can see. As far as he's concerned, people can keep their impressions-- how the galaxy perceives him is nothing, not when his concerns revolve around living in a way that upholds the Mandalorian Creed.

Din was a foundling, orphaned by war and taken in by the Mandalorians as a boy. Raised in their Fighting Corps, when he came of age he chose to swear their Creed, and ever since it's been the foundation of everything he does. To Mandalorians, honesty is integral. To Mandalorians, one's honour should never be compromised. To Mandalorians, every aspect of the Creed-- the followers, the culture, the history-- is sacred and must be protected. When Din earned his beskar helmet (a sign of Mandalorian adulthood and steadfast loyalty to their people), he made a promise to uphold these ideas to the best of his ability. This promise has never constrained him-- instead, it provides him with purpose and meaning, and grounds him whenever he feels lost. With all that he's been through, sometimes it's the only thing that gets him up in the morning.

Loss is a prominent, reoccurring experience in Din's life. Having survived three purges (and losing three homes and an uncountable number of people in return), loss is a feeling Din's so used to he isn't surprised when it happens any more. He feels the pain every time, of course-- he feels everything, even if the helmet hides the look on his face-- but he's also reached a point where he knows pain is part of living. For every good that exists, there is also bad, and he's made his peace with this. After all, to walk the Way of the Mand'alor one must accept they are both hunter and prey, and one requires strength and courage to keep moving despite it.

For Din, the only reason he has any to spare is because it's what his Tribe needs of him. A pack animal at heart, Din will do whatever it takes to protect anyone who depends on him, no matter the cost to himself. He thrives when he has others to care about; even in his time as a "lone gunslinger of a bounty hunter", Din was only ever alone because his people had to remain in hiding at the time. After being raised by a community, Din not only understands the importance of it as a whole, but the importance of it to him specifically. No matter where he goes, his bonds are his home, and if they need him, he'll perform. That's all there is to it.

Din is powered by love: love for his people, his Tribe, and his Creed. As opposed to love being the death of duty, love fuels his duty; with the Creed so focused on Mandalorian community and how one is part of a whole, Din's goodness stems from how much love he feels for them. The galaxy sees him as a fighter and killer, and this is true. But he only does this to protect his Tribe, and to protect himself so he can come home to them. Din is not a sword, but a shield, and after everything he's lost, he'll do his damnedest to safekeep what's precious to him now.

This became especially true when he began raising a foundling of his own.

By Creed, he'd been told, until [the foundling] is of age or reunited with its own kind, you are as its father.

And his Creed had never shone as true in him as it did when he raised the child. Rising to the occasion, he provided the child with home, safety, and family, fuelled by duty and honour and love to provide the best for him. Din was unselfish and patient, and when faced with concepts he couldn't understand, he only accepted what he didn't know and learned what he could. Being the child's father and travelling the galaxy for him expanded Din's horizons and taught him more about the place he lived in, not only in terms of geography, but also in history and its eclectic mix of people. More than that, being a father helped him define the way he upholds his Creed, reaffirming the idea that the most important aspect to him is the one about family, bonds, and community.

No matter what, Din is a Mandalorian. He fights, he kills, and he terrifies on reputation alone. But he is his own kind of Mandalorian, too: an honourable man who loves and protects, and who can rise from any tragedy because of it.

ABILITIES: Though trained in various Mandalorian techniques (spanning combat, survival, engineering, and otherwise), Din has no abilities that surpass normal human limitations.
