Character backround.
With humanity spreading through the galaxy in ever greater numbers. The Yautja have found themselves with oppenents at every turn. Humans take and take and take, mining worlds to their cores. Were once the Humans were to foolish and weak to contend with the Yautja, they have now adapted. Technology is slowly catching up and the Yautja as a race have to redefine their edge. Where most Yautja Clans have simply learned to avoid the Human Fleets and only attack when they can do so without being noticed. Some of the more aggresive and resource rich Clans have come up with a new plan. That being to face the Human's on their own terms. This has given brith to several responses under the New-Way Clans.

First and most shocking being the creation of military-grade warriors. Predators trained not only to hunt alone but to wage war in small packs. This violates many of the old laws and has caused much heated "debate" between some of the Clans. However the effects cannot be denied. The combination of Yautja skill and technology is rightly feared. Starship production began to take on a life of its own. Equipment became more standardized and of greater quality. The New-Way Clans weren't just hunters anymore, they were becoming warriors. Where before a young Yautja had to fight for his equipment, in which many died. Now they were given their equipment by their Clan. First hunts being another costly matter in lives of young hunters due to inexperience. Older and more blooded hunters openly trained them instead of just taking them on hunts. A true form of education where several young hunters would be attached to a Blooded Warrior Pack. From here they would spend several years in training their teachers. Learning all they could before becoming Blooded themselves and taking on young hunters of their own.

Second has been the creation of the Tactical Supremacy Armor. A mixed response not just for use against humans but also against other Yautja. Many of the Old-Law Clans have been hosting large numbers of duals and challanges against the New-Way Clans. At first, shear numbers led to massive losses for the New-Way Clans. Many warriors fell in battle or on Great Hunts designed to bleed those who took part. The great numbers of the Old-Law Clans allowed this plan to work. The New-Way Clans needed a new way in which to survive. Somewhere, someone came up with a plan and took the idea of the Vangaurd Armor used by the Elder Council Gaurds and improved the system. Instead of having a largely plate armor with no support system other then a weak deflector generator for minor protection against ranged weapons. The armor was reduced in form to more tightly fit the users. Stronger Materials were used to nearly triple the protection. Strength enhancing fibers were placed to allow the user to not only move the suit but last longer in combat then normal. Life support systems were also added to allow combat to last beyond the short lived supply of the standard masks. Increasing the abilities of the warrior who wears it several fold helped against the problem of forever being out numbered.

Third was open conflict between the Old-Laws Clans and the New-Ways Clans. Hunters and Warriors clashed openly, often for little reason. One on one combat became a very one sided matter. Warriors with superior weapons, armor and training on average claimed the vast majority of duels with a few noted exceptions. Old-Law hunters voiced against New-Way warriors fighting in armor. New-Way warriors voiced Old-Law hunters using attrition to wear down the smaller clans. Soon there were even some small brush wars between Clan Packs out on hunting worlds.

Doth'u'de "The Blade" came forward in this time. Claiming the lives of two Vanguards in a single duel. He earned great honor for skill in battle. At the same time he was now counted as a Vanguard himself. Unwilling to leave his New-Way Clan for the Elders he preposed a comprimise. That he would provide two of his best offspring to act as Warrior Vanguards who would bond the Elder Council to the New-Way Clans. With this he was freed from his bondage to the Vanguards and there for earned a new name. Doth'u'de "The Wise Blade". Now a well known voice he began to speak out to the clans and call for unity. Most Old-Law Clans laughed at this, but to the New-Way Clans this was a roaring call. The the words and ideas changed nothing. It did show that the New-Way Clans were willing to work together if need be. This would mean civil war if the Elders moved against them. A risk that is beyond unthinkable.

Doth'u'de is a seasoned hunter, Blooded Warrior and skilled leader. He personality is confident and agressive but still very calm and patient. A strange but powerful combination. Added to his combat skill is his technical skill. He, like most Yautja, has a fond understanding of the equipment in which his life is dependent. Unlike most Yautja, he can not only maintain or effect basic repairs but in fact replace and rebuild most of his equipment. So long as he has the parts or materials he needs.

Let me know what you think. Good and bad, all is both welcome and needed. I plan on fleshing this character out as much as possible. He's to be the first of a trio (two preds, one human) of friends dealing with the changing galaxy as best they can. All the while dealing with two races that could be allies yet rather be enemies.
 
I like this! :)
Good story where the predators end up splitting themselves into two clans, because of different ways of living. Interesting view if humans (sometime in the future) would end up in space and claim new planets etc. And your character sounds really good. :)

I'm basing if off the idea that, like most cultures, there come times of change. While some embrace the change as a part of life. Others reject it out right. Being a warrior culture, I figured that they'd come to blows over it.
 
Wow he us only a kid lol 85? Nice story.

Whenever you see great changes in social structure, even more so in warrior cultures. It is led by younger warriors who are growing into a place in which they feel they can make change.
 
Thank you.

So anyone have any points I should hear or thoughts they'd like to see added in this? I'm going to a whole saga in time. So extra help is ALWAYS needed. New characters, new clans, new worlds.
