who's Five-Oh?
RC-5050, Sergeant “Five-Oh” of 08 Commando Group’s Jaro Squad is a tabacc rolling, cigar smoking, rurik root chewing, whiskey drinking, still-shooting-while-bleeding-out heavy weapons specialist and top tier shabuir with a preference for beating things to death with his fists for fun.
He is was the Sergeant of the favorite squad under the Cuy’val Dar’s most renowned Death Watch member, Isabet Reau. Jaro Squad was her favorite squad, and it helped some that they were her top performing republic commando squad, but it helped more that Jaro squad’s close combat specialist, Strill, had the highest win/loss ratio of the illegally run Fight Rings on Kamino—and Sergeant Five-Oh came a close second after Strill, his squad brother.
I say they were and not are her favorites due to Jango Fett’s interference with Death Watch’s Fight Rings, once he discovered their existence. Let’s just say his expressed disapproval was swift and sure and the rings were shut down, immediately. Once the Fight Rings were eradicated, Commando Groups were reorganized among Special Operations’ Cuy’val Dar for “restabilization,” to move away commandos who suffered most under the Death Watch training sergeants and resituate them under the direction of other sergeants who could better manage them.
Anyway. Sergeant Five-Oh’s humor is as dry as the Tatooine desert. He doesn’t mince his words for anyone, but he does practice a heavy philosophy of tact and silence—mostly keep his thoughts to himself if it doesn’t serve the conversation, but more importantly stick to silence if talking invites avoidable trouble. It’s a philosophy that kept him and his alive while under Sergeant Reau’s thumb, and it’s one he’s sure will keep them alive for as long as he could help it.
He’s a hard man with no soft side to show for it—except to and for his brothers, with his softest side for Strill, because despite being one of the hardest and best fighters, was also the runt of the commandos. Wiry, leaner than most, and Sergeant Isabet Reau’s personal “favorite” — for whatever a position such as favorite can afford under an abusive terror.
( Strill, RC-2131. “Gifted” his name by Sergeant Reau herself. An excellent hand-to-hand fighter, one of the best if not the best—hardened by the illegal fighting rings on pain of death. On the autism spectrum. @silenthouse‘s OC. )
Five-Oh makes it his duty to protect Strill at all costs, and his duty … inevitably leads to this: he does not survive the war. He goes down taking a hit meant for Strill, and while it’s far from the first time he’s run through by something long and sharp, it’s also the very last time he does.
for reference, Jaro Squad:
RC-5650, Sergeant “Five-Oh” — KIA as of 20 BBY
RC-1182, Sergeant “Fix” — KIA shortly after re-assignment to Jaro
RC-1964, “Boom”
RC-2131, “Strill”
RC-2398, “Gearbox”

LIsten, I seriously maintain now that Mando'a does double(+) negation for emPHAsis, so, I posit, as I so elegantly said before, nu'nuhoyir is “to knock the FUCK out”
oh shIT I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

and this is where we pour one out for Fenn Rau, but I’m all out of whiskey, so obviously he can’t be dead
ooc. the coffee maker breaks. kaede adds it to the “reasons i have no point in living this life” list, along with “there aren’t enough lemon cakes, i am almost broke, i can’t remember my brithday, and i wear the same clothes almost everyday”
