"Mixer" (RP)

## Mixer

Mixer (formally Alpha-21) was an ARC General for quite some time. An alpha ARC recognised shortly before the battle of Kamino, he survived the Kamino hangar explosion, which was caused by a Rhydonium LAAT. He eventually found himself with the 415th Battalion on their mission to the Deep Core. After an ambush, Mixer encountered Boba Fett, who then blew off his shoulder after Mixer attempted to fire a blaster bolt at him. He eventually broke off of the 415th, where he followed fellow ARC trooper and friend Hawkeye to Tatooine to look after his friends and to take a break from the Muunilinst 10.. While there, he was contacted by Marka Ragnos, who implanted a shard in Mixer after Droid exposed Mixer to him. He promised Ragnos that he would look after Méra and Droid. Eventually, he met back up with those two and did his best to help them out. After Méra was kidnapped, he tracked her with help of Boba Fett. Eventually, he found her. His goal is to bring her back to the light, believing it is possible. Mixer's just trying to make his way through the universe, whilst trying to help where he can.

But times change, and so must everyone else. After Hawkeye was kidnapped, Mixer set out to save his close friend. He regrouped with The Bad Batch: an elite squad of Republic Commandos. Mixer and the Bad Batch would arrive at the Works, having followed a communication signal that Hawkeye was able to send out before being re-captured by Taravara.

Unbeknownst to them, Axis would observe the group from afar, watching as they heard the carnival music and pushed open the main doors with a massive smiled face he had painted on. Watching as they entered with caution, Axis was satisfied to see the electromagnetic generators he had placed throughout the building were blinding Hunter's senses, something he was well aware would be a game-changer unless he prepared a countermeasure.

Upon noticing the group's caution preventing them from entering, Axis' automatic system lowered the poorly crafted banner he made, with writing indicating that they should just come inside. Inside the tower he had constructed, Axis would close the door behind the group upon their entry as the tower emerged from the group in the large central room which contained the carnival rides. Axis would then reveal himself by sitting on the edge of the tower's balcony, finally showing himself to the party who had entered.

He would inform the group they were trapped inside the building with a bomb due to go off in two days, though he did not inform them the door was unlocked and Axis' careless personality once again kicked in, as he was unsure if the bomb would detonate or not. Axis would throw a dagger at Tech for insulting him, though Hunter would get in the way and it would implant itself in the man's shoulder. Mixer would take the dagger from Hunter, keeping it on his person. Axis would inform them the password to the door was somewhere in the theme park, before exiting back into the tower after informing them that he intended to use Hawkeye as his successor, finally revealing his true intentions. Mixer would scale the tower to follow Axis, before arriving in the man's temporary office.

Upon seeing Mixer enter the room, Axis would gleefully engage the clone in conversation. Axis would inform Mixer as to the nature of his position in the GAR, enlightening the clone with the true inner machinations of the institution he served. Axis would present Mixer with two pieces of paper. Axis would inform Mixer that one paper was the executive order containing the execution orders of Méra Dimitra, and the other was an official sanction by the Galactic Senate to genocide part of the local population on Ragoon VI. To gain a reading of the clone's personality, he would lie to Mixer and inform him that whichever one Mixer would keep, he would forward the other to Republic Command. Mixer would immediately choose the execution orders, something which Axis admired and related to the likely decision he would have made as well.

Respecting the clone's unbreakable will, Axis would hand Mixer both resignation forms, which would make Mixer a Republic citizen with the rights of any other human being in the Republic. Axis would then begin burning the room with matches, determined the get rid of the plans and evidence now that they had served their purpose. Mixer would fire a shot at Axis, demanding to know Hawkeye's location. Axis would barely cut the bolt in half, having initially reached for the dagger that he had thrown at Hunter. In anger over being nearly shot and after noticing Mixer held his beloved wife's dagger, Axis would immediately lash out cruelly at Mixer, taunting him over his weakness in a joking manner.

Stabbing the man twice, Axis would throw Mixer onto the growing flames for six seconds before slightly calming down and regretfully pulling him from the flames. Performing one last act of vindication, Axis would lie to Mixer and inform him that he sent a message out to the clone's friends and told them they could save Mixer if they betrayed the Republic to do so. Informing him that he received no response, Axis would throw Mixer from the tower, pulverizing the man's arm though saving him from being burnt further.

Axis would depart from the Works in heavy contemplation, wondering just how much of himself he had lost despite regaining his memories and reuniting with his younger brother. In doing so, Axis left Mixer behind. Mixer had no weapons, comlink, and no one left. After lying on the floor for some time, Mixer stood up, inching his way toward a hospital. Although the pain was excruciating, Mixer pushed forward. Each inch he gained was an enormous amount of pain. However, his mind was more focused on the words than anything else. The words were vivid, repeating, thought-provoking, even worse than the pain.

*"I sent a message out to your friends and told them they could save you if they betrayed the Republic to do so. I received no such response."*

- Axis, detailing Mixer's rescue to him.

For all he had worked for, all he had stood for, he was met with this: the reality of being betrayed. As horrifying as it was, it clicked something within his mind: a feeling long sealed away. A feeling once at its prime after Boba had used explosives to explode his shoulder. Hatred. Of course, some were exempt from this; however, for the rest, Mixer's kind aura would disappear. Replaced with a hateful, disregarding view. As he trudged his way to the hospital, it was the only topic on his mind.

He eventually reached the hospital, immediately being whisked away by the hospital's staff. During this time, Axis declared his position in the GAR; Mixer missed it due to his current state. After waking, Mixer puts on his damaged, charred, and broken ARC Armor. He decides to return to the Arca Barracks to replace it. Once he arrived, he entered his ship, then used its comlink system to contact Hunter, the leader of The Bad Batch, letting him know he's taking a set of Katarn Armor. Mixer accidentally tripped Fixer's, a Commando, alarms within the base. As there was no sound cue, Mixer left to change into his new armor. Afterward, he painted the armor blue, similarly to his old armor's markings.

A few days pass; Mixer still remains in his ship. His comlink suddenly goes off; Mixer answers the incoming transmission and is met with Axis' voice. Axis recruits Mixer for a mission, in term, giving Mixer the coordinates for a rendezvous point. Once he arrived, he met an old friend and set off to {DATA EXPUNGED}. Once done, he began taking over while Axis was on vacation. Assigning [DATA EXPUNGED], gathering data, doing typical leadership tasks.

After a while, Axis contacted him once more. Asking to [DATA EXPUNGED] which could very well be his last mission.
