It has been 16 years since the execution of Order 66; The Great Jedi Purge is still taking place and Emperor Palpatine has solidified his control of the galaxy. But already whispers of resistance can be heard. The seeds of descent have been sown and the future leaders of what will one day become the Rebel Alliance are beginning to plan and prepare for what lies ahead.

To say that the events which take place in these times will drastically shape the future of the galaxy is to make a great understatement.

The only real questions are, who will have the courage to take action...and what actions will they take?

OOC


Alright...... This is my idea thread for a non-cannon Star Wars Game. Now before you read any further you should know that when I say non-cannon I don't only mean that players will play non-cannon characters. I also mean that the actions taken by the players' characters can (and most likely will) alter the events of the history of the Star Wars universe. As for how that history is changed...that is entirely up to the characters' actions. SO basically I'm proposing a Star Wars game that offers players the ability to actually have a 'real' effect on the course of events in Star Wars history. IF (A) You're George Lucas(and in a bad mood) or (B) this concept is something that upsets you/violates everything you love about Star Wars. You probably shouldn't join this game. BUT if you're like me and think this is quite intriguing, then please voice some interest. I know that right now this seems a bit helter-skelter/unprepared. But this is just an interest check in the purest sense of the word. I'll be posting more information once I finish typing it up!

Also please voice interest by posting something along the lines of "I'm interested" in this thread. AND as always any questions and/or comments are welcome!

Sounds good. You have my interest. :)  I wouldn't mind playing some sort of underground crime lord or something like that.

Ok....For the purpose of keeping this game at least somewhat controlled and helping me make a single story out of what could easily become a number of separate ones. everyone's characters will need to fall into one of the following "Classes" these classes are very open to interpretation, I left them vague for a reason ;D

Imperial Positions
It should be noted that due to the Empire's anti-alien views all character's with Imperial positions must be human, or otherwise approved by the GM.

Special Operations Officer: An elite branch of Imperial Intelligence, Special Operations has a reputation for carrying out especially important or unsavory missions.

Unaffiliated Positions

Smuggler: Someone who engages in the clandestine shipment of goods or persons to prevent taxation or some other impediment. The goods shipped are often highly illegal or banned in some sectors. Smuggling has absolutely thrived under the Galactic Empire's strict control of goods.

Bounty Hunter: Mercenaries for hire who track down and capture or kill anyone with a price on their head, although they are also known for doing nearly anything for the right price including the protection of clients. The best bounty hunters are very well armed and have very effective weapons

Dark Jedi Also known as "Fallen" Jedi, are Force-sensitives, frequently former Jedi, who choose to deny the light side of the Force and/or follow the dark side. Although "Dark Jedi" originally referred to a Jedi who had fallen to the dark side, it can now also refer to uninitiated dark-side users who do not follow the teachings of the Sith or other dark side organizations.

Anti-Imperial  Positions

Dissident: Whether they be Imperial Senators, soldiers turned freedom fighters, former separatists, underworld leaders, or simply those who have had all they loved destroyed by the Empire. Palpatine's enemies are many. And while most through out the galaxy are cowed by fear into simply allowing the Empire to hold power some are unwilling to bear the shame, some seek to take action to restore freedom to the galaxy.

Jedi A member of the Jedi Order, who studies, serves and uses the mystical energies of the Force; usually, the light side of the Force. The weapon of the Jedi is the lightsaber, a weapon with a blade made of pure energy. Most of the galaxy's Jedi have been killed, turned to the dark side, or forced into hiding. Despite their small numbers the Emperor still views the Jedi as a great threat to his power and will stop at nothing to see them driven to extinction. 

Sith

Sith Apprentice  A Sith apprentice was an individual who has begun serious training under a Sith Master. Usually chosen by the Master himself or herself, after the potential apprentice has displayed an impressive act of loyalty or cruelty. Sith apprentices are analogous to Jedi Padawans, and the relationship between Sith Master and apprentice is the analogue to Jedi Knight and Padawan. A Sith apprentice's time as a student ends either with his or her death, or when the apprentice kills the master, takes on an apprentice of his or her own, and thereby ascending to the rank of Sith Master. *Note* I will only be accepting one Sith Apprentice to play the apprentice of my Sith Master character. They will not be affiliated with the Empire and will in fact be planning to overthrow the Emperor and Darth Vader in order to take control of the Empire in the name of what they believe to be the true Sith (themselves obviously).




Also, the above character classes aren't meant to limit people as much as to help me get things started and get a good story going. That having been said, if you have an idea that might not fit into one of these categories please tell me about it and we can see if we can make something work. I'd also like to ask for people to hold up on posting up characters at this moment. Discussing them is perfectly fine, as is asking questions. I just have a bit more to post up that deals with the character creation phase and is meant to insure the game is balanced for each and every player.

I currently intend to have the game be what I like to call limited freeform. In that the game will employ a few systemic elements. Specifically with regards to abilities/equipment available to characters at the game's start, with large amounts of room for characters to develop new skills and gain new tools (in a freeform manner) and a few limitations on writing combat sequences against the game world.

Put simply these limitations are along the lines of me (as GM) asking you to write your character's actions during combat  but not the results of said actions. For instance saying "My character draw's his blaster and fire's at the stormtrooper aiming for his head" is what I'm looking for as opposed to saying "my character draws his blaster, fires at the stormtrooper and hits him in the head." This allows me (as GM) to control the action in the game without the need for dice roles or any other such things.

Next on my to do list is character sheets and explanations on the limitations set on equipment/abilities.

Hope to see lots of interest in this game ;D

I would be interested in this just wondering since i am in the navy and currently on a ship if my posting is not always the most constant would that pose a major problem? Oh and would we be at least for background purposes keeping cannon in place and changing things in character?

Geradine

And you have a smuggler. *goes digging for starship designs*
The view from behind a scope puts everything into perspective.

There are many things you can tell about a person by the way he/she writes. -me, i think.

Funguy81

i'm interested in this. I could play an imperial operative or a jedi. Though i have to ask, is this something where each player character are in their own story within the overall arch, and meet or not meet depending on what is going on?

antech

I am very interested in this but I have two questions:

1) Can we be grey jedi? (Who aren't part of the Jedi order/don't completely embrace the light side, but aren't dark side wielders)

2) What kind of scale are the force powers we're allowed? Because I'm a little apprehensive about Jedi pulling star destroyers out of the sky (you know who I'm talking about)

If you were a starship captain, your time at sea could just be you off trading or on your own adventures? Then you meet up with the group at the next starport or pull a Han Solo and save somebody's skin out of nowhere?

I know, I mean that the character spending time in space doing his/her own thing would be a good IC way of explaining long OOC absences. In my opinion...

I'd be interested, as long as the GM doesn't disappear on us like the last time we had a non-canon Star Wars game running.

I'd even use the same character from said game.

I'm provisionally interested, though I want to know what section the game would be going in befroe I commit. I'm interested in the Dark Jedi and/or Sith apprentice positions, though Bounty Hunter is also appealing (and I'm flexible there)

Rhaegar14

Pretty much scrapped my signature because everything in it is hilariously out of date. I might work on fixing that eventually.

I'm in. I'll be shooting for bounty hunter, going for the ultimate female bad ass in this one.

As much as i was half interested as i read the intro post. I'm legitimately excited now.

@Everyone: just wanted to say I'm very glad to see the interest. I'm currently in the process of finishing up my next big informative post which will be everything you guys will need for character creation. That having been said I'd like to address some of the things posted by you guys already with this little mini post.

@Wyrd, I think we can make that character idea work. Depending on how big time you want yo make him he could either be a smuggler or a dissident. It should also be noted that your class selection doesn't need to have too much baring on how you play your character. For example a smuggler could easily fall in with the barely forming Rebellion which you guys will probably shape/effect/even help( or hinder) to form.

@Marie Reynolds: I'm sure we can work something out. I actually think that antech's idea sounds pretty smart. I'm sure we can find an IC reason for your character to go off the grid in accordance with your time when you're not able to post. And to answer your second question. Up until now(in game terms) the Star Wars timeline has proceeded exactly according to cannon, and will so with the exception of the events your characters effect and a very few very minor tweaks to help the story.

@Funguy81: that depends on you guys ooc, if you want to be with someone feel free to plan it. If not it is possible for you to simply play a loner. Though even loners' stories will cross paths with other players'

@antech: You can play your character how ever you like, if you choose to be a Jedi but decide to play him as a grey one. That's your choice ;D And force powers will be regulated/kept from being too over the top (you'll see in the big post)

@Akiko: there will be no disappearing acts from the GM. You might have to redo the character's powers/items but her backstory is still fine.

@ KaylaM: It will probably go into non-con exotic(considering alien races)  just to be on the safe side. Though that doesn't mean that non-con stuff will have to happen. I just think that anything with the potential for possible non-con belongs in non-con. Better to disappoint some than to squick others in my opinion.

@Geradine: Glad to have you aboard.

@Elfguy: Glad to have you as well

@Rhaegar14: Cool, glad to see some interest in the apprentice slot. I was actually worried it wouldn't get any bites.

@Photo: Glad to have you too.

Also, with the exception of the apprentice slot there is to really a limit to how many of each character type there can be. You could all be smugglers or Jedi or dissidents. Though it will probably be more fun with a good mix.

Interested. Very interested.

Han solo style characters look out! A bounty hunter is me!

Is it going to throw a wrench in your big fancy post if I want to have a highly-customized lightsaber for my character? Because let me tell you what, the basic design has a fair number of flaws. XP

Thanks for being up-front with that. Taking that on-board, I'm going to drop out at this stage.

I'm afraid I beat you to that a few posts up, but considering our only Jedi just dropped out on account of the roleplay having the potential for non-con, I may switch.

damnit.... Okay if he doesn't switch can I be a sith assassin?

Primarch

Been a while since I played one of your semi-freeform games. I'd be interested in taking on a Special Operations Officer if you'll have me.

Funguy81

Well since someone called up tofr the operative, i'll pick up playing a dissident. someone that believes the ends justify the means.

Latooni Subota

I have fleshed out character concepts for a Smuggler, Bounty Hunter, Slicer, and a couple other things that would all be fun here. XD

Would it be okay to have say, a pair of smugglers working together on the same ship? or a pair of bounty hunters that team up and split bounties? After all, a lot of the cooler ships out there that aren't starfighters do need at least 2 people to crew them at maximum efficiency :3

My character concept is Jedi.

I could use the help. ^^

Marie Reynolds

So My concept would be unaffiliated but is not already listed so i wanted to check. Would be a roving Merchant Prince/Princess. Also want to be sure that a Chiss from a Family was Exiled. So i hope that would fit and also give me the opportunity to have character wonder in an out when the navy drags me away.

The Force (With Regards To Our Game)
The Force
Since The Force is going to/can play a very important part in the game for some characters. An explanation of how it will work in our game is needed. A character's strength in The Force will be measured by 2 ratings. They are 

Force Power: The measure of how easily your character can tap into The Force. This does not constitute how skilled they are at using The Force. The best metaphor is that this is the amount of water that is in their well, not how skilled they are at drawing water from their well. There are 5 different levels of Force Power

Level 1 None Characters at this level have no real ability to tap into The Force

Level 2 Low Characters at this level are able to tap into The Force with effort. In earlier times beings with this level of power would come to the attention of The Jedi Order, but would not be able to truly use the force without being inducted into The Jedi training program. Their connection to The Force manifests itself as "luck,"  "good instincts," and "quick reflexes" without proper training.

Level 3 Moderate Characters at this level have a strong connection to The Force. They have the potential to truly use The Force with or without training. The 'average' Jedi Knight or Sith Apprentice normally possessed this level of power.

Level 4 High Level 4 beings are truly blessed by The Force, they have an exceptional ability to tap into it's power and wield it as they wish. This is the power level that beings such as Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Luke Skywalker possessed.

Level 5 Very High(Requires GM's Permission) Very few beings in all of galactic history have had a connection to The Force that is strong enough to be ranked at Level 5. The amount of energy they can tap into is near limitless. To compare Level 5 beings to the likes of Yoda, Darth Vader, and Palpatine would not be an overstatement.


&

Force Skill Represents the amount of control with witch a character wields their power.  This can best be described as how well they can drive their car, not how fast the car can go.
(Players with a Force Power of Level 1 need not worry about Force Skill)


Level 1 Low Character's at Level 1 have received no formal training. What they know of using the Force has simply come from their experiences in life thus far.

Level 2 Moderate Characters at Level 2 have received some training by another Force user, they can best be compared to Padawans of the old Jedi Order

Level 3 High Characters at Level 3 have completed both basic and advanced levels of training, were these earlier times they would have already passed the Jedi trials and been granted the title of Jedi Knight.

Level 4 Very High(Requires GM's permission) Jedi and Sith Masters are the only beings who can claim Level 4 skill.


Equipment & Abilities


Ok, so given the VAST amount of different pieces of weaponry, armor, and abilities within the galaxy. It's a bit impractical (and far too cramping on creativity) to really limit what different items your characters can have. That having been said some form of balancing needs to be employed. SO I will be making a short list of different BIG things that player's can select. Each player will be given 30 points 'purchase' these items with. Each item on this list will have a description of what it is(and encompasses), it's cost (in points), and any requirements that need to be met to be able to use it. Anything not on the list (other than Force abilities) such as blaster pistols, body armor, jet packs, etc. should be considered addable in a freeform manner ;D (though please keep things realistic) So with out further filibustering on my part here is the list....

Though powerful, it is not without its drawbacks. Chief among them is that it has absolutely no effect on any mind that isn't organic, such as droids and other AI, and has a greatly reduced (or almost nonexistent) effect on Force users. In addition to this, these illusions hold no true corporal form meaning that contact with other objects(such as weapons/weapon blasts) or creatures easily gives away the illusion.

Cost: 3
Requirements: Force Body, Level 2 or higher Force Power, Level 3 or higher Force Skill

Force Heal: A power used by Jedi to diagnose and treat the ailments of themselves and others.
Effect: Allows your character to heal themselves or others of all minor and most moderate injuries.
Cost:  4

@Funguy81: Sounds good, though just for clarification there can always be more than 1 of each character type (except the Sith Apprentice)

@Latooni Subota: That's perfectly ok with me and totally up to you guys. If you want to start with a few of you working as the crew of a single ship that's fine. ;D

@Marie Reynolds: That's fine, I figure your character could count as a dissident or a smuggler depending on how big time you want them to be. Also remember everyone the classification's are flexible for example if I were to want to play a crime lord I could technically call him a dissident even though I could play him as being totally neutral.

Also I'll probably be placing up some character sheets of my own (for some Major NPC characters) just to have them up there. Once the characters are ready we can move on to getting the game rolling/setting up the different threads.

So, can two characters pool points/items on the same ship? For example, a Smuggler and Dissident teaming up to do smuggling runs and stuff for Republic interests and freedom fighters, pooling special features for their same ship?

Also: http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/starships/d5-mantis  This is the coolest ship ever. Seriously. @.@

Also Also: How would you feel about cybernetics? Like, say, a headware hookup to the ship for directly piloting it (Hope you don't get zapped by a lot of ion cannons!), internal weapons, and whatnot?

Character's Name Rico Aldun

Character's Species Human

Character's Age 26

Biography Born on the Planet of Alderaan 10 years before the end of the clone wars. He lived a life of comfort if not wealth on the land as a son of a farmer. As he grown through the years he picked up the skills usually given to the nobles of the peaceful world thanks to his father's connection to a local lord. While not given a world class education, he was given training in the use of blasters, basic combat manuavers, but his true passion came in starship piloting. He took every chance he can to see the stars over the planet through the viewport of a cockpit.

He had dreamed of seeing more of the galaxy beyond his homesystem, but the clone wars and its heavy restriction on civilian galactic travels had prevented any form of travels for the son of a farmer. He spends his childhood dreaming of the day he would see exotic worlds he learned from stories of transporters, spacers, and  freighter pilots he meets in the markets.

It was during those teen years where tragedy struck his life. 4 years after the empire is formed on the ashes of the once corrupted republic, the iron hand struck down upon the lord for speaking out against Palpatine. Every member of the lord's family killed by imperial troops that stormed the middle of the night, and they soon targeted anyone else that communicated with the lord in anyform. This includes Rico's father. Rico was only given a second's warning to escape the burning farm with his life, only to be founded by a member of a small resistance group hoping to find supplies and survivers from the attack.

Rico's new life began in a small but functional base in the alderanian wilderness where he gained further training in combat, martial arts, and piloting. As the years passed Rico's life continued to grow within the resistance and soon became one of the initial members of the growing rebellion. Though while many members of the rebellion would use a morale approach in their mission, his approach is far different. In his eyes, the end always justify the means. If the empire utilizes such terroristic tactics to the people of the galaxy,then he would utilize the same. He looks forward to the day that the empire will fall under its own weight and for the people to rise against it, but until that day comes he intends to play his part in that victory.

Equipment(Explained a bit lower)
Blaster Carbine (E-5 Blaster Carbine. The standard carbine of the Seperatist Droid Army during the clone wars. Despite its use by the slightly inefficient B-1 battle droids the weapon itself is truly a reliable rifle. Upgraded with a Holographic targeting reticule, and Flashlight)

Vibro Knife,

Blaster pistol (BlasTech DL-18. Popular blaster that is considered by many as the standard blaster pistol. While not having any exceptional in any way, it is a very reliable weapon with decent range, power, and power conservation with 100 shots per Power pack.)

Combat Jumpsuit. (A padded jumpsuit that is designed limited protection against physical and energy trauma without restricting movement. Designed to look like a normal jumpsuit without giving away the fact the wearer is lightly armored. Rico would use this in situations where tactical Armor is not preferable.)

Tactical Combat Armor. (Battle armor combines black composite plates with black padded jumpsuit to form a layer of protection. Usually stored in a small compartment on his ship when not in use. Pictured in character.) 

Comlink (secured with list of rebel frequencies)

Utility belt (holds a Medkit, Tool Kit, 3 Power packs.)

Special Equipment:

Starfighter Class starship (2 points)  (Cloakshape Fighter. The Kuat Systems Engineering Cloakshape fighter is the rival to the Z-95 Headhunter. Originally designed as an atmospheric fighter, it has proven to be easily adapted to space conflict. Armed with dual linked laser cannons and concussions missiles, it has the ability to take on ships larger than itself with a punch, though this power comes at a loss of agility. The ship is known more for its ability to take punishment as opposed to its agility.
Rico had long upgraded the ship with a x1.5 hyperdrive so that he could take it from system to system. A slot for an astromech droid is also installed just behind the pilots seat so it could provide astronavigation computation, unfortanatly without the inflight repairs most starships designed with astromech droids in mind.


Ace Pilot (3 Points)  (Years of Space combat, training, and study have honed his coordination to turn almost any starfighter into a weapon of for the alliance.)

Underworld Contacts (3 points) (With the years hiding in the edges of space and shadows from the Imperial's hand Rico has garnered contacts from most corners of the galaxy.)

Iconic Ship (2 points) (While not the most modern of ships, Rico had mastered flying it to push it beyond the performance levels that no engineer had in mind.)

Hold Out Pistol (2 points) (Smal, Palm-sized blaster designed to hide discreetly on the user's body to conceal its presense.)

Loyal Forces (3 points) (Connections and membership within the Rebel alliance gives Rico access to trained troops in times of need and when they are available in any area he works in)

Unique Training (2 points) (Advanced training and Combat experiences has given his people an edge in combat that most could not attain)

Heroic Reputation (2 points) (Rico has garnered a reputation for being a serious combatant, even cold-hearted during combat. He's not known to pull back in the face of adversity)

Dignatary Status (3 points) (While his efforts in the growing rebellion have garnered some attention of the years, his reputation for terroristic tactics has pulled investigative efforts back in fear of reprisal.)

Astromech Droid (3 points) R4-C3 Astromech droid.

Escape Pods (2 points)

27 points used.

Force Power(Explained lower) None

Force Skill(Explained lower) None

Force Abilities (explained lower) None

Character's Name Marie Wallace, aka Ghost-7

Character's Species Human

Character's Age 18

Biography Marie Wallace is what you'd consider a legacy girl, coming from a long line of famous spacers. It doesn't take much tracing of the family tree to find soldiers, bounty hunters, and smugglers of renown in her family . .  even jedi! Her father, interestingly enough, was one of the Alpha-class ARC Troopers in the Clone Wars. Her mother was a force-sensitive bounty hunter who worked alongside the Grand Army of the Republic.

Despite the fact that her mother wasn't an actual Jedi, she ended up caught in the crossfire of Order 66, even though her father was one of the few soldiers that refused the command. Her mother tried to protect the Jedi that she worked for, and lost her life for it. Her father was aghast at the new Empire's single-minded ruthlessness to the Jedi that helped win the war, and left the army to take up bounty hunting . . and raising his little girl.

Over the years, her father earned a reputation as a skilled and honorable bounty hunter, and Marie learned many tricks of the trade. Still, she proved to be better at mechanics and piloting than actual bounty hunting. In the end Marie decided to go her own way as a smuggler, managing to obtain her own starship in a Sabacc game. Imagine that!

For the last year, using her antique (But exceptional) D-5 Mantis, she's made quite a name for herself in the underground as an extremely proficient smuggler. Wisely chosen modifications to her starship has led her to be considered one of the best around, especially considering her age. After learning of the true circumstances involving her mother's death though, she's decided to start taking on more anti-Imperial runs.

Equipment

Callisto Repeater: An modern slugthrower rifle capable of single-shot or semi-automatic fire, with a rough range between 300 and 400 meters, and a magazine size of 30 rounds. It also comes with a high-capacity magazine option, but that's a bit . . difficult to find, for whatever reason. Marie was always a fan of solid ammunition, and it's adaptability. If she's carrying around her gun, she'll have three clips for it. A clip of Mercy Ammo, and two clips of Armor-Piercing Ammunition.

Mercy Ammo: Ammunition made of semi-solid plastic that dealt bludgeoning damage, rather than piercing. It's an effective way to set a slugthrower for 'stun', so to speak.

Armor-Piercing Ammo: Like it says on the box. Ammunition designed with special alloy tips to assist in piercing heavier armor. Quite effective against battle droids . . . or Stormtroopers.

KYD-23x Blaster Pistol: The KYD-23x is a modified blaster pistol used by Marie. It packs a little less punch overall than the standard version, but the blaster bolt keeps it's stopping power for a longer distance. It also shoots a pretty silver bolt!

E-7 Defender Personal Shield: Marie doesn't like bulky armor. At all. Hidden on her person is a pretty powerful (for it's size) personal shield generator, that runs on micro-fusion cells. She always has a couple on hand.

D5-Mantis Patrol Craft: http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/starships/d5-mantis This smuggler's ship of choice is the D5-Mantis, a rare ship with a wide variety of exceptional features, modified to be even more effective than it already was. The Mantis can easily accomodate a half-dozen crewmates along with a fair amount of cargo, and comes with a workable medstation and impressive hyperdrive and nav-computer. It may not be able to carry as much cargo as a Corellian Corvette, but it'll get the cargo to it's destination faster, stealthier, and safer! It has three separate weapon foils with independant power-sources, as well as a few missile launchers . . though missiles are SO expensive these days! (Light Freighter Class Starship, 3 points)

R3-A7 Astromech Droid: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R3-series_astromech_droid Marie has a rebuilt R3-series droid to help with the navigation, engineering, and repairs. This particular one she has lovingly named 'Bucket', due to it's silver on white color scheme. He's a friendly little chap, and seems to thrive around groups of people. Bucket takes advantage of a newly installed Astromech port on the Mantis to help run the ship in troublesome situations. (Astromech Droid, 2 points)

Escape Pods: There's two escape pods located in the lower-rear of the ship, capable of holding a couple of people at an uncomfortable squeeze. (Escape Pods, 2 points)

Hold-Out Blaster: Her modified KYD-23x has been hidden on several clever places on her body, and can even be broken down to be hidden in other inoccuous devices. Marie is a clever smuggler. (Holdout Blaster, 2 points)

Underworld Contacts: Marie has managed to keep a fair number of contacts here and there, including former Clone Troopers, smugglers, and bounty hunters. (Underworld Contacts, 3 points)

Cloaking Device: A smuggler's best (expensive) friend! The Mantis has been upgraded with a stealth field generator. A great way to run Imperial blockades. (Cloaking Device, 3 points)

Crybabies: A hidden release mechanism on the bottom of her ship holds Crybabies, lovely little hyperspace decoys. (Crybabies, 4 points)

Heavy Hold-out Weapon: Like her blaster, her slugthrower can also be disassembled and hidden in . . interesting ways. There was that time she hid the gun inside a suitcase full of lingerie . . that was a pretty easy way to hide it. (Heavy Hold-Out Weapon, 3 points)

Forged Documents: Why no, officer. I'm totally supposed to be here with my badass ship. I have all the proper paperwork and everything right here! (Forged Documents, 2 points)

She's Still Got A Few Surprises Left In Her: Her Mantis has plenty of firepower, really. The things that Marie added were an improved hyperdrive, enhanced shields, and some smuggling compartments all over the ship. (3 points)

Biography Recently come into the smuggling trade, Gerad quickly became known around certain circles for his loyalty and dependability, but mainly for his oddities. He learned the trade by himself, and all he's learned he's learned the hard way.Somehow, his luck has pulled him through it all, although he has a few scars from some of his escapades. He is dependable in a fight, and has been in quite a few even though he tries to mind his own business.

He has smuggled on both sides of the line before, his Defender light corvette gaining many a nick in the hull from his many close escapes. It's black paint job is somewhat odd among the stars, but helps with him maintaining his ability to run both sides of the line, because no-one has actualy seen his ship in the blackness of space.

Syberfang

The Sith assassins were unique because they preferred to ambush their intended prey from the shadows rather than engaging them in open combat. Almost always working solo or in small groups, they utilized stealth field generators and the rare art of Force camouflage to aid their surprise attacks. While some elite assassins fought with lightsabers, the majority utilized less remarkable melee weapons, such as force pikes. These stealth warriors were also unusual in that they drew their power from the Force presence of their prey. The stronger their targets were in the Force, the stronger the hunters became.
"Those Sith assassins can sense their prey through the Force—it is like a hunger. They feed… and grow stronger… when they are near Force Sensitives. The stronger their prey is in the Force, the deadlier they become."

The Sith assassins were a sect of covert Force-sensitive killers secretly founded by Darth Revan on Malachor V during the Mandalorian Wars. Captured Jedi and Sith soldiers who were found to be Force-sensitive were taken to the Trayus Academy to be trained as Sith assassins. These assassins were largely responsible for carrying out the First Jedi Purge that began in 3,954 BBY until their defeat and disbandment in 3,951 BBY following the Destruction of Malachor V.  Later, the term was used for Sith Inquisitors who fought for the returned Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War and the Cold War that followed it circa 3,653 BBY. These Sith assassins specialized in stealth and dealing high amounts of damage to enemies in melee combat. They were known to primarily wield double-bladed lightsabers in combat, and were adept at concealing themselves with the Force.
During and after the Jedi Civil War, the assassins' primary purpose was to kill or capture Jedi. Upon successfully incapacitating a Jedi, the captive would be tortured until they fell to the dark side or died by the hands of elite Sith operatives trained in the art of torture and temptation, such as Atton Rand. By this subtle method of capture and conversion, the ranks of the Sith assassins swelled as the number of Jedi decreased

Character's Name Nijima Akiko

Character's Species Human from Sakoda

Character's Age 29 Sakodan Years

Biography
Nijima Akiko, first daughter of Emperor Nijima Kenichi, master of the feudal world known as Sakoda; and his favorite concubine, Inoue, is a young Sakodan human, standing but five feet (1.5 meters) with dark black hair and purple eyes. Her faintly tanned skin seems to glow in dim lighting, and is a stark contrast to the dark colors she normally wears.

Akiko was raised as a royal daughter, pampered and privileged.  Yet the girl was always trouble for her family and the house hold staff, getting into everything and climbing walls to escape the royal compound. Even on a peaceful agrarian world like Sakoda, there were still threats to the ruling elite.  It wasn't until Akiko was six years old that she began to manifest ability in the force, frightening her mother with an unexpected display of force kinetics, shattering a priceless stone vase across the compound's courtyard when the girl refused to come indoors as ordered.

Within the week, a Jedi Master arrived to check on the girl, at her parent's behest. Discovering her latent ability to channel the force, little Nijima Akiko was taken off of Sakoda and transported to Coruscant for training in the Jedi arts. Akiko was later assigned to Twi'lek Jedi Mistress Ardana as her Padawan.

As her training was nearing completion, Akiko was approached by several Jedi she had never encountered before. Taking her from the temple, the small Padawan was further trained in quite a brutal fashion, even more so than Jedi Mistress Ardana's unusual methods of training. Nijima Akiko was trained to hide, to track, and to fend for herself in the most hostile situations imaginable.

Now capable of hiding herself completely, even hide her ability to use the Force, Nijima Akiko was given her rank of Knight, as a Shadow, and assigned to another Shadow to locate the Sith purported to be behind the Separatist faction warring with the Republic.

There had been rumors of Sith activity on Tattooine, where Knight Akiko and her companion moved to. When Order 66 was passed down, Akiko was in hiding, set in ambush while her companion worked to flush out their quarry. Her companion, another human named Brasque, was slaughtered by Order 66, while little Nijima Akiko remained in hiding.

Having learned to alter her physical appearance, Akiko was able to hide her lightsaber (even if fully nude), and her identity. Keeping the weapon close at hand, Akiko decided that the best way to hide in the future was to be the last person one would expect to be a Jedi: a slave.

She entered into an agreement of indenture, which was later violated by her employer, and the exotic little human was sold into harsh slavery; a pleasure slave for a wealthy but cruel merchant along the Outer Rim, by name of Remus-Qui Sereta. Remus-Qui found little Akiko both alluring, and useful... as she had the knack at reading people for her Master.

Also you may notice that some of the NPCs break/bend a rule or two during character creation.

Character's Name Darth Aegis

Character's Species Unknown (Humanoid)

Character's Age Unknown

Biography

Darth Aegis was born sometime before The Great Hyperspace War and the subsequent fall off The Sith Empire. During this time, he was actually a Sith Lord of considerable power. Possessing a powerful personal fleet and an impressive force of loyal warriors. Even from his first years as an apprentice Aegis has possessed a very strong ability to foresee the future through the force. In fact part of the reason why Darth Aegis had managed to gain such power, and why he is still in existence today, is that his visions have allowed him to avoid many a would be assassin's blade.

It was during the opening months of the war that Darth Aegis was struck by a vision he had never expected....the near total destruction of The Sith and their eventual ultimate defeat rendered to them by the Jedi.

At first this vision was simply a foggy impression, he only saw instants flashing before him one after another. The defeat of The Sith Empire. Their eventual resurgence. Their destruction at the hands of a Sith Lord in order to reverse the course of their slow demise. The Rule of Two. Years of waiting. A power Sith Lord laid low by his apprentice turned to the light. And finally the twisting of the Sith Order into something that he could not even imagine any Sith approving of...

As he awoke from his meditations Darth Aegis knew that these visions were far more important than the current war effort. And he also knew that his seeing them did not happen by chance. It was the will of The Dark Side that he would see these events and that he would be the one to keep them from occurring!

For the rest of The Great Hyperspace War Darth Aegis remained on his command ship, meditating as often and for as long as physically possible. Attempting to map out every possibility, to learn every name and place of importance in the future yet to come. He realized that the flaw as not in The Rule of Two, which in fact was the one true way for the Sith to remain strong. But that the failure of The Rule of Two rested on the shoulder's of a single Sith Lord. He learned the name of that Sith Lord...The one who's failure would set the Sith on their course towards eventual ruin, Darth Sidious.

Every vision he had ended with the same result. Sidious would be destroyed by a child of Skywalker, or Skywalker himself. And in the aftermath his apprentice, Darth Vader, having repented become Skywalker once again, and the Sith order would be leaderless until a new Dark Lord arose...one who would pervert the order into something it should never become.

Now that his course of action was an obvious one Darth Aegis began preparing to put his plan into motion. As the war drew to its close and The Sith Empire began to crumble Darth Aegis drew all his forces to him under the guise of planning a retreat to safer places in the galaxy. But before such a retreat could take place he reached out into the Force and drained all the life force he could from every member of his forces. Using their essence to place himself in a state of suspended animation.

As the years passed and passed his ship, which was the only one in his fleet to survive his actions, drifted aimlessly through space. When the time was finally right Aegis emerged from his hibernation and began to set about his plan.

First he watched and waited unseen by even Sidious himself. He watched as Darth Sidious manipulated the Galactic Republic into becoming the Galactic Empire.

But now his time for waiting has ended. And the time of action has arrived....

Equipment:
As with many things about Darth Aegis, his list of equipment is mostly based off of what he has been known to use in the past and as such may not be perfectly accurate.
Red Bladed Lightsaber: Darth Aegis has been known to utilize a red bladed lightsaber when in combat. The weapon has at times been described as possessing a standard hilt and at others as possessing a curved one. Whether this is evidence of the Aegis possessing two lightsabers or simply a single one with an adjustable hilt is unknown at this time.
Sith Armor: (pictured) The armor Darth Aegis wears is his only known appearance. Exactly what he looks like under his armor has never been discovered. Any records of his physical appearance or even his species have long since disappeared. The armor itself seems to be crafted for him specifically, it provides him with an extremely high level of protection, but seems we weigh close to nothing and does not appear to impede his movements in any way. It is highly likely that his skills at Sith Metallurgy were used in it’s construction.  And as such it is also to be expected that the armor strengthens his link to the Dark Side of the Force.
Sith Amulets : Darth Aegis possesses several Sith amulets. Each of these arcane objects is unique and acts as a focusing rod for the Dark Side of the Force. Exactly how many he possesses and any other qualities these amulets exhibit are at this time unknown.
The Silent Shadow: Darth Aegis’s ship All that is known is that at one time it was his flag ship and since his re-awakening it has acted as his base of operations. It’s age, model, specifications, location and even how it continues to operate after so much time are currently unknown.
Force Power: 5
Force Skill: 4
Force Abilities:
The following abilities are those which Darth Aegis is confirmed as knowing/having used. Given his advanced age, the full extent of his skills and powers can only be speculated upon.
Force Sense
Farsight
The Art of Movement
Telekinesis
Force Push/Pull
Mind Tricks
Force Choke
Sith Lightning
Cloak of Darkness
Sith Metallurgy

Character's Species True Sith Species

Character's Age 29

Biography Locked away in a place unknown to those of this time, stands an army at wait. Frozen in time waiting for the call of their masters to once again serve the empire. A lone sentinel stands watch over his soldiers. Trained at birth as an assassin for the Sith, his training was vigorous and thorough. Not permitted to have opinions of his own, the Sith assassin was chosen to fulfill tasks that those of a weaker man would falter to. Following only the orders of his masters, he accomplished much before being locked away.

When he was a child he was taken from his home, along with many other children who were force sensitive. Trained to use the force in abilities of stealth, and feeding off of their opponents. Some considered them the Vampires of the force. The stronger his opponent was the stronger he became. Responsible for the death of many Jedi he quickly rose through the ranks of his order.

I might throw myself into this game. I'll see what characters are in before I decide. I was probably aiming for a Jedi forbidden love child, a nobles daughter who will be mouldable for good or bad. At the same time I'm wondering about inserting something from a clone war era rp I'd like to do. All that would mean is on a snowy planet called Uriel their is the remanance of a battle gone south.

Including a temple which contains the remains of a Sith Lord called Val Deken and th bodies of five unfortunate Jedi who barely beat him including my girls father.

Funguy81: We'll probably be starting some time this week. I'm thinking Wednesday/Thursday at the latest.

Very well. In a nut shell Val Deken is a dead Sith Lord who mastered a similar ability to what the Jedi use to appear as ghosts. However the sith version allows them to create shadowy Wraiths of pure force energy that possess the ability to simulate light sabres. Though Val Deken is beaten the planet Uriel is a big hot spot for force energy and Val Deken left many things that an enterprising young Sith could acquire. >D I believe if this was included the power would need to be balanced and perhaps usable only around areas that are saturated with Grief, rage, etc etc.

I'm saving some points for later, what do Vibroblades count as ? Edit this is what I have so far she's not finished just yet if it comes to it I might do another character.

Ada Torria

Human

23

Biography Ada grew up on the capital system of Coruscant and has lived through later parts of the clone war and the empire's rise to power. When Ada was young she spent her time studying pouring over book after book, on history, politics, ethics and every other subject that anyone could deem boring. When she was able to would escape her mothers home and wonder the streets occasionally joining other kids in games and occasionally petty crime. During one such escapade the group found themselves hiding in a junk yard and in the corner of the yard they found an combat droid. In an attempt to prove girls could do anything a boy could do, she took the droid home and over the span of a months repaired the droid, after working on that project Ada began to study all kinds of mechanics including ships and swoop bikes. Over the next few years the small group eventually form into swoop bike gang, who steadily grow in power and gain a rather fearsome reputation.

At the age of eighteen the key members all enter the imperial academy in an attempt to learn the skills they would require for more exciting job. Of the original group that entered the academy with the intention dropping out only Ada's closest friend continued. Ada herself being kicked out for inappropriate behaviour (In this case being fucked by a classmate and fucking a teacher on two separate occasions. Ada's a bit randy in that respect >D ). Dismayed by their old friends betrayal the group expand their reach within the under belly of Coruscant before acquiring their own ship. In the years since her expulsion Ada has upgraded her droid and made him more suited to acting as a body guard and assistant.  Recently Ada discovered that her unknown father was a decorated hero during the clone wars and she believes a Jedi.

Jana Norkin
Human
27
Biography Jana Norkin was a girl who had no home. Rather than having literally no home to begin with, it is accurate to say that she had to move from shelter to shelter in many occasions. Sometimes on the same planet, sometimes across star systems. The reason being the lack of order established by the Republic in its' dying days. Tasting poverty since young, she grew up jaded and thorned. Now she is a smuggler beyond ruthless and more than just any other thug. With her right eye once caught in a blaster fire, it is now a synthetic eyeball with golden iris. Detesting the Republic since puberty, she is equipped with all the military goodies illegal to common folk. Sometimes she had to steal from the Empire as well, leading to some sirens going off.

About the only thing that she has joy and pride in is her ship, a Nova Drive Class 3-Z light freighter she's named the Singing Dreamer, which she won after a Sabacc tournament on Ord Mantell.

Equipment:

Freeform: DL-18 blaster pistol, light body armour, boot-knife and a wrist-mounted communicator

10 points

Light Freighter Class Starship: Spacecraft used for small freight operations. They were popular choices for small shipping firms, independent haulers and smugglers for their low cost, ease of customization and a ubiquitous nature that helped avoid unwanted attention. (It should be noted that The Millennium Falcon COULD be considered a Light Freighter Class size ship)
Effect: Characters have their own personal starship of the above stated class, allowing them to travel from planet to planet and system to system without relying on anyone else. Characters are able to upgrade their personal starship
Cost: 3

Astromech Droid:a type of droid that serves as automated mechanics, performing a variety of repair duties and often serving as adjuncts or substitutes for nav computers on smaller starships. They were also able to use the mainframe of a larger ship to their advantage.
Effect: Your Character owns an Astromech Droid (of any model to be controlled by the player)
Cost: 3

Escape Pods: Small escape craft for use in escaping a doomed ship in times of emergency.
Effect: Should the character's ship be destroyed, said character is able to escape via an escape pod or ejection seat before the ship explodes.
Cost: 2
Requirements: Character must possess a ship

Hold Out Blaster: Small, palm-sized blasters that can be easily concealed.
Effect: Even when your character is checked for weapons, and has their weapons removed (such as being frisked/scanned before meeting a crime boss) they are able to carry their hold out blaster which is never detected.
Cost: 2

Underworld Contacts: Sometimes knowing the right barkeep is worth more than all the intelligence briefs in the galaxy.
Effect: Your character will occasionally receive information from Anti-Imperial sources(via PMs)
Cost: 3

She’s Still Got A Few Surprises Left In Her: Your ship has been the recipient of several 'off the books' modifications.
Effect: Your ship is able to equip hidden weapons, secret cargo holds, and other such devices
Cost: 3
Requirements:  Either a Corvette, Light Freighter, or Transport class starship

She’s No Good To Me Dead: The price on your head only applies if your head is still attached to the rest of your body.
Effect: NPCs will attempt to capture your character alive rather than kill them. They will only attempt to kill your character under extreme circumstances.
Cost: 4

Very much still a work in progress.

SciFiSpectacle

Okay I have two questions in regards to characters. I have two ideas in mind, and I want to get them okay'd before I get to far in the character skeleton process.

The First Idea: Yuuzhan Vong. I know this may be a bit of a stretch for some, especially people familiar with them OOC, but they are basically the anti force users. His role would be a recurring hazard/enemy for both sides, not being on any particular side besides the Yuuzhan Vong.

The Second Idea: Independent Droid. I have played Star Wars Saga Edition, which got me hooked on playing as a droid. I would love to be apart of someones crew or something, but secretly be completely independent and have capabilities to be just as free as every other character. Their role would be sidekick, secret badass, mysterious companion, perhaps even assassin or bounty hunter.

Thanks in advance!

Awesome I get to be a droid! But may I ask why a no-go on the Yuuzhan Vong? xD

Oh and instead of having 5 points for the lowest level of force can I have ten because I have no force whatsoever? Or does it balance out because as a droid I cannot be sensed using the force?

Urbanzorro

Honestly in part because of the timeline in which I want the game to play out (very much pre-vong) and in part because I'm not too big on the vong ;D

All you get is the 5 extra :P And the advantages of being a droid should balance out not having the force.

It has gone through several phases in the past four years, 2 years being spent working for a smugglers ship, a few months working as an assassin with a mercenary, a few weeks as a protocol droid for a hut, a few months as a street cleaner on Alderaan, and a protocol droid for a senator for several weeks.

@ DKDBSD: Sorry, somehow forgot to give you an answer. I know Akiko is playing a Jedi and I also think that Rhaegar14 will be playing one (he's notified me via pm) so I'd say there's a good chance you'll have someone to train her. Also and this goes to everyone, your characters will be able to pick up more skills/items/etc as the game goes along. ;D

@SciFiSpectacle: He looks good, though I'm going to limit flight to simply being able to 'jump' upwards very high and stop his falls (similar to Force Jump) I'm also going to say that his shield can, with either considerable firepower or a good amount of continuous fire, be overwhelmed. Hopefully those aren't issues? If not then I'm going to go ahead and approve him.

@Kimera: I really like the concept. Like I REALLY like it, but I can't find a way to work it into the game's storyline. If its not too much trouble could you please consider playing something more conventional?

@Marie Reynolds: Looks Good so far :D

Cool all I need to do now is finish her off, I've only used 13 points so far.

Edit

I've finished off Ada using powers only from the generic powers to show that she is untrained, thus she's used half these powers when she's been stressed or in dire need. She most likely subconsciously used mind trick when she got caught misbehaving at the academy the first time. > D

Character's Name Merrin Ayaberra

Character's Species Human from Corellia

Character's Age 27

Class Smuggler

Biography Merrin was born and raised in Cornet, capitol of Corellia, on stories about adventure and derring-do, some by his relatives, and some by fictional characters. His favorite was the story of Gil Sturn, a (fictional) smuggler who saved a shipload of terrified refugees from a war-zone despite risking capture and prosecution by the Republic authorities.

Of course, he wasn't actually expected to take those stories to heart, they were just to entertain him, since the smugglers in most of his other stories were the villains who always got caught in the end. However, he conveniently forgot that last part and ran away from home when he was 16 to join a star ship crew. It was simple work, just hauling freight from one planet to another but it gave him valuable experience in buying and selling merchandise. It also introduced him to a few of his current contacts. When he was 20, he decided to go it alone, and got together a few investors from amongst the contacts he made while on a merchant ship, and convinced them that he could easily earn enough money to pay them back, plus a 10% profit.

Luckily, he actually managed to keep his promise, moving a vast amount of Glitterstim around the core worlds. After that, he has never hauled the drug again, the lone exception being the small doses he brings the Imperial governor of a backwater planet in exchange for Imperial papers. Instead, he sticks to other, less harmful substances, like alcohol, weapons and ammunition, as well as some of the more difficult to obtain luxuries, like the occasional Twi'lek slave girl to the head of a planetary religious organization.

Currently, he is trying to pick up jobs from this new rebellion movement, since they need some of the things he can supply, and he's heard, nothing that he would take to court mind you, but heard that they have some serious monetary backers.

Equipment(Explained a bit lower)
Standard Equipment:
Blaster Pistol (DE-10)- The DE-10 series is a rare series made specially by the Mandalorian Death Watch group on Yavin 4. Merrin managed to acquire one in an auction three years ago. Despite it's low shot per charge pack ratio he likes the weapon for the twin reasons of being a decent close combat weapon, as well as the rule of cool.
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide
(is also his holdout weapon, [2])

Vibroblade, nothing special about it, standard combat knife

Special Equipment
The Loaded Dice, and HT-2200 class medium freighter he bought 7 years ago when he first began his smuggling career, using funds he would have after his first, and admittedly most dangerous run, planet hopping to get as much profit as possible and somehow managing to stay barely half a step away from the authorities.
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide


and

(3)

R2-E4, "Wrench", is an Astromech Droid Merrin purchased to aid in the navigation of The Loaded Dice. After some time, has managed to get a personality of sorts, giving a distinctive low-high pitched whistle whenever he thinks something is a bad idea. He is of the standard R2 series construction, sporting a black and red paint job, with no modifications(3)

Underworld Contacts- After years of doing business, Merrin has built up something of a reputation of a guy who can get things where people will pay for them, and has even done a few pro bono jobs, simply because the recipients will be grateful enough to pass along information that they think he can make use of. So far, he has one or two of these people in most of the regular star ports he visits.(2)

"He's no good to me dead!" - Merrin has made a habit of stashing various amounts of wealth in various areas of the galaxy. These stashes range from "barely enough to survive a week with" to "retire in comfort" levels, and most of the people who wish him dead also tend to want the location of these stashes of credits, especially since he keeps the locations in his head only. Of course, that is all assuming that he really does have wealth stashed away, but is this the sort of thing you could afford to pass up? (4) 

Forged papers - Well, not exactly forged. In exchange for a few runs for an Imperial governor desperate to get some more glitterstim than the law allowed, Merrin has an authentic set of Imperial papers (2)

She's still got a few surprises left - The Loaded Dice has been Merrin's ship for many years, and as he has gotten the money and time he has started to upgrade the components on his ship. These upgrades include a pair of secret cargo holds underneath his current cargo holds, as well as enhancing the ships power system to extend the life support system into the cargo holds where, at a pinch, he can hold 40 passengers. (3/9, depending on whether or not each upgrade is 3 points or if it's a bundled package)

Force Power(Explained lower)
Level 2- Merrin has always been a bit luckier than he has the right to be, but he simply attributed it to his Corellian origins. (2)
Force Skill(Explained lower)
Level 1 Merrin has never been exposed to "the Force" outside of stories about the Jedi. (1)
Force Abilities (explained lower)
Force Senses- While he can't consciously call upon the force to enhance his senses, he finds that in particularily hair raising situations, his senses become sharper ad his reaction time increases (1)

@ Kimera: It's mostly the character's appearance :S I'm just having a hard time figuring how it will have an easy time interacting with others. I love the concept though

Well, it's a droid, so I don't think people look at it any different then any other model of droid. R2D2 is just a bin on wheels ;)

If you played Kotor 2, it could always pull a G0T0, and projecting it's master to interact with others

I'm considering creating another character probably the second class of imperial. That way I have two dynamics and honestly force wielders should be the vast minority in this setting. >D

@DKDBSD: I'm going to ask everyone to just play one character for now. But that will probably change later after the game gathers steam.

@Everyone: The game has started! It's currently at what I like to think of as the soft start stage. In which I'll still be allowing more players/characters for next few days. But cut off is this upcoming Wednesday (The 7th). So please if you want to play and your character hasn't been accepted/you haven't submitted a character I suggest you do so asap.

Sounds good, I'm hoping we'll start soon.
