Appearance:
Cage has brown eyes and brown hair. His face is tough from a harsh life of battle and training. He has a charming smile that can sweep away the harsh battle worn look that his face normally has. He typically forgoes shaving on a daily basis and has stubble on his face. His hair is trimmed short but is still slightly longer then military cut hair.

He is known to wear a black ammo vest to go with his black and dark brown uniform. In combat he wears his republic trooper armor and carries his WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle. Cage wears his swords at his hip. He chose these over the typical officers sword being that they were more functional then the dress weapon.

Possessions:
1xWESTAR-M5 blaster rifle under-barrel launcher.
1x suite of Katarn-class commando armor with retractable ultra chrome arm blades.
5x flash bangs
5x thermal detonator grenades.
1x FWG-5 flechette pistol

Personality:

Cage is a strange cross between lighthearted joker and serious warrior. More then willing to crack a joke in a serious situation when things get tough he is often the first to snap to attention and figure out the best option. He has been trained in combat tactics and subtly applies them to aspects of his daily life. His calm friendly domineer hides his cunning mind.

Cage often ignores the proper behavior between those above and below him. He’s Got a strong sense of honor and is some what of a dare devil. Cage feels that the Jedi are weak, using the force as a crutch and that with out it many of them would be near useless on a battle field. Hidden is Cage's secret love of combat in all its shapes. He hides this because it would cause him to look "blood thirsty" in the eyes of many.


History:
Cage was from a fairly average family. He went to a private school where he was given lessons in the basics as well as Hand to hand combat and fencing. Cage had average grades but he excelled in the physical aspects of his schooling. At the age of 10 Cage lost his mother to sickness and his father became distant. Cage was sent to military school and Cage responded by acting out.

It was during this time that Cage developed his trade mark attitude. This was a large problem for Cage and he spent just as much time being punished as he did with his schooling and training. Cage received training in basic fire arms, advanced hand to hand combat, and tactics.

After Cage finished his schooling he enlisted into the republics armed forces. There he went though basic training. Due to the training he already had Cage shone as one of the top in his division and was chosen for advanced training. Cage was given extra training in combat and leadership.

Cage was chosen for the position of squad for republic commando squad 24. Given a special commando armor and a WESTAR M5 blaster rifle with under barrel launcher Cage was Sent on several missions. Cage showed an ability to get the mission done with minimal losses to all parties involved and earned the nickname Ghost. Commando squad 24 because something of a myth. Moving into the building taking out the guards and leaving before people even knew they were there.

On top of his stealth Cage had proven him self in combat. One of his most notable exploits was when he was surrounded by a terrorist cell numbering 40 and with most of his squad wounded managed to singly handedly fight his way though the majority of the terrorists and engage the leader of the cell in single blade combat. After the leader was killed the remaining terrorists were taken out by the wounded squad and Cage returned to base a hero.

On several missions Cage found im self in need of a weapon that could take down large numbers of people or lightly armored vehicles. One one mission in which Cage and his team was sent to investigate the destruction of a Republic trading post he encountered heavy resistance. the Flechette launcher proved to be invaluable in removing the defenses and chose to make the weapon part of his standard mission weaponry.

Cage quickly made his way up the ranks due to his outstanding reputation in the field despite the fact that he lacked military bearing. Cage was given several chances to leave combat and take a leadership position but turned them down every time. When Cage made officer he instead of having a dress sword, instead chose to modify his armor with retractable ultra chrome blades. Cage felt that a weapon that wasn't useful in combat was a waste of space and refused to have one. Cage preferred to be in the thick of combat where he felt he was doing the true job of a warrior. Looking at the leaders of the army as more often then not just paper pushers and snobs.

Cage now spends his time leading his commando squad on special missions and has been pushing for the creation of a republic special forces unit to better handle missions of great importance. Hes been turned down several times due to many people believing that the standard republic troops can handle any mission that needs doing and that the jedi will pick up the slack. Cage would like to see the republic less dependent on the Jedi and to be able to handle things on there own.

I will shank you with a garden trowel

Here is what strikes me when reading this. The Katarn-class Commando armor is notoriously stated as being big, bulky, and intimidating. To be completely honest, what with carrying weapons/grenades on the armor, it would be hard to even wear a pair of swords on it. Given the placement of the chest pieces and shoulder pauldren armor, effectively going melee in such a bulky armor suit would be almost impossible.

The RC's made up for their lack of short range weapons with the knuckle plate vibro punch blade, but I simply don't see how a katarn wearing commando can effectively fight with a blade. The thing we run into here, is that the RC's armor was not intended to be flexible enough to warrant prolonged sword fighting, it was instead intended to be a walking tank. If this were a variant of the Phase II battlearmor, it would be a different story, however when you go super heavy durable armor, you lose a big portion of your flexibility.
