Name: Donn the Brown Bull

Race: Breton (Reachmen)

Gender: Male

Age: 28

Appearance: Lean musculature, 1,75 m tall, tribal tatooes all over his right arm and right peck.

Homeworld: Sanuarach Station, The Reach

Occupation: Mercenary

Skills: Experience with Firearms (Mostly semi-automatic rifles and automatic SMGs), Dueling (using daggers), Piloting (Starfighters) and Elder Effect usage.

Weaponry: He wields a MR-3 (Mór-Ríoghain 3rd Generation) semi-automatic rifle, a MR-3 submachine gun. He also has two daggers for close quarters combat, though he only uses one at a time.

EE-abilities (if any, to a max of 3 for now): He is able to use the EE to create a physical construct. He calls this ability, a Kinetic Shield. Donn creates a spectral shield  that can block attacks like a force field and stores the energy of each hit. When the energy has built up enough, it can be unleashed by throwing the shield, which ricochets off surfaces and explodes when it hits enemies or just charging into enemies and blasting them. However, this can backfire. If too much energy is stored in the shield and Donn is unable to unleash it, it can explode too close to him and cause him serious damage.

Ever since the failed sacrifice attempt against him, Donn has had a connection to the Old Gods. It strengthened his EE ability, granting him the power to resist the effects of Nullifiers and similar technologies. A Nullifier, thus, has little affect on his Kinetic Shield. This connection also gives him unspeakable nightmares from time to time, which he cannot understand.

Equipment: Donn wears a set of modified brown Armor. The armor has a skull carved into the visor for intimidation purposes, something commonly used by the Reachmen Raiders to put fear into their enemies.

Backstory: Donn was born as Dáire son of Fiachna, a member of the Reachmen Clan Bloodwolf. His parents died when he was very young, a result of a failed raid on an Imperial caravan that was passing through the Reach. Thus, Dáire was raised by his uncle, Chief Ailill of Sanuarach Station. Dáire had a very heated rivalry with his cousin, Maine Whitehorn. When Ailill died, the two of them fought a duel to see who would succeed him. Maine used a Nullifier to remove Dáire’s EE ability and thus won the duel. Sanuarach’s Briarheart convinced Maine to sacrifice Dáire instead of killing him normally, as his status as an EE user meant he was a valuable sacrifice to appease the Old Gods.

Chief Maine had Dáire imprisoned and readied for the sacrifice. The ritual, however, was stopped by Turok Grokal who rescued Dáire from the altar just in time. They escaped Sanuarach Station on a stolen ship, the Bloodthorn. After their escape, they left the Reach and renamed the ship to the Stormbreaker and Dáire changed his name to Donn to elude pursuit from the Bloodwolves and the Forsworn, who were now keen on capturing Donn and finishing the ritual sacrifice. Unbeknownst to Donn and Turok, the ritual had lasted long enough to connect Donn’s soul to the Old Gods. This connection has been giving Donn unspeakable nightmares and increased his powers with the EE.

The two of them were forced to leave the Reach as the Forsworn had begun to hunt them down with the help of Chief Maine's Bloodwolves. He and Turok ventured to the rest of the galaxy and began to work as mercenaries. Their status as "barbaric Reachmen" made it very hard to get good jobs. Thus the began their carrier doing jobs that no one else would, mainly suicide missions.

It was on one of those suicide missions that Turok met an unfortunate fate, which left him armless and near dead. Donn brought his dying friend to a medic that, after some forceful persuasion, operated to save his life. Turok was saved by being turned into a cyborg.

After 5 years as mercenaries, the Stormbreakers became known as brutes that could be relied on to accomplish dangerous and morally ambiguous missions, but little else. One only hires them if they want muscle and don't care about collateral damage. Donn in particular has gained a reputation for leaving unnecessary body counts, which earned him the nickname of the Brown Bull.
