Star Wars (interest check)

[elfguy]

IC thread: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=71180.0

The time period would be during the Old Republic, around 3600 BBY, a period where both the Republic and the Sith Empire were in a cold war. This would be a pretty open ended RP, but I do want a central story to keep things advancing.

On the Sith side, the current emperor hasn't been seen in a long time, and people even start suspecting he died. Sith Lords and Ladies are eager to raise to the position, and take control of the galaxy.

The Republic isn't much better. With Coruscant being the center of interest once again, the senate is flooded with petitions from worlds all across the galaxy for change and better protection. Corruption is ripe, and many people want the Jedi to take on a more active role in policing the Republic.


You could not play a canon character, you would have to make your own character. The classes would be: Sith Master, Sith Apprentice, Jedi Master, Padawan, Bounty Hunter, Smuggler. I think it would be very interesting to have pairings, like 2 people playing master/apprentice.

I'm hoping this could be a very open universe for all Star Wars fans, with a mix of action and romance. People could form up their own little stories, and would be encouraged to create conflicts between each sides.

I'm open to any suggestion so let me know if you have any!

THis does sound interesting; the only thing is, I don't have a clue where to start.

[elfguy]

Well I'm hoping people will create their character, which is why I posted the char sheet. The most interesting classes I would imagine would be either a Sith or Jedi, and if people wanted to pair up with like a master/apprentice that could be a nice dynamic.

I also have Starting Location, that way people get an idea where others will start. It's Star Wars so it doesn't really matter if everyone starts on different planets, it should be simple enough to interact after only a few posts.

As for the setting, as I said it's during the cold war, so KOTOR or The Old Republic style, if you're familiar with those games. If not, basically it's when both the Sith Empire and the Old Republic are strong, and in a cold war state, with people sending spies and doing sabotage missions all around the galaxy.

[Major Major]

Well, I do have some ideas; I'm just not sure how to actualise them, is all.

[pendarious]

yeah this does sound interesting but i'm not sure what i wanna be *sighs and laughs*

[Major Major]

Oh, by the way, Elfguy, what's your take on the "Jedi Rules" at this time?

[elfguy]

Oh, by the way, Elfguy, what's your take on the "Jedi Rules" at this time?

Care to elaborate? Do you mean the code they operate under? If so I don't really care, it's up for us to decide as a group I would guess. As for the combat system, this would be a freeform game for sure.

[elfguy]

Nice duo! I'm probably going to make a Sith, altho I'm not sure a Sith Lady or an apprentice yet.

[Major Major]

Care to elaborate? Do you mean the code they operate under? If so I don't really care, it's up for us to decide as a group I would guess. As for the combat system, this would be a freeform game for sure.

By that I mean, are they operating under the version that we saw in the prequels? The one that wound Anakin up so badly that it was inevitable that he fell to the Dark Side? Or is it a 'Lighter' version of it?

[elfguy]

It's up to you really.

[Major Major]

Fair enough. Oh, and I want to check something here; since we're Jedi, do you have a list of names of other Masters, or of the High Council?

[elfguy]

We could set one up if it's needed. This would be around 3600 BBY so several years after KOTOR. I'm not sure how much canon stuff there is out there for this period, or if we have to make it up.

[Major Major]

Well, according to the SWTOR site, the Grand Master of the Jedi Order is a Satele Shan, descentant of Bastila Shan (and possibly Revan as well).

[bigwad73]

Oooo!  Pick me, pick me!

Character sheet

Appearance: Picture if possible, otherwise a good description
Tall and solidly built, with dark hair and eyes, and a pale complexion.  Generally wears a cloak, so he looks like this:


Name:
Darth Penalous

Age:
30s

Gender:
Male

Class:
Sith Lord

Equipment:
Lightsaber (Yellow white blade)
Wrist Pad/Computer
Small Space Transport Yacht (CX-1000 from Corellian Engineering, a six person, minimal cargo, runabout, with room for a speeder bike or two in the loading ramp bay (suspended from the ceiling) and a quad laser turret and ion cannon turret.)
A speeder bike (duh!)

Bio:
One of the more technological Sith, he's a bit of a free agent, following the general orders of the hierarchy, but valuable enough as a resource to be allowed his head most of the time.  Besides his technology skills, and his piloting abilities, he's skilled with a lightsaber, though not to the level that some perfectionists reach.  One thing he does have a great deal of talent at is force-based mental abilities:  illusions, mental domination, mindreading, perceiving the presences of others who may be hidden, and telekinesis.   And forget that "only works on the weak-minded" stuff.  He's at a level that far surpasses that, though with some effort for the most resistant minds.

He's a bit vain about his appearance, and he certainly isn't the model of chaste force-user morality.  He's happily heterosexual, and isn't afraid to ensure the females around him know it.  Though, no one should be confused about his slight swagger and bravado--he can back it up when it comes to a fight.

Limits:
As I said, he's not the most skilled lightsaber combattant, primarily focusing on defensive techniques, using them long enough to get a mental handle on his opponent.

As such, he'd shy away from a many on one (him) fight, so he's got a reputation as a bit of a tactician, which, to the Sith, can be used in a way that means "coward".  He's sensitive about that, certainly.

Location:
Outer Rim, near Tatooine (aboard his ship)

[elfguy]

Well, according to the SWTOR site, the Grand Master of the Jedi Order is a Satele Shan, descentant of Bastila Shan (and possibly Revan as well).

That sounds fine. And on the Sith side there's an Emperor with a Dark Council. I'm not the best at Star Wars lore so if people want to fill in details that will help. The best material I think to base ourselves on is this: http://www.swtor.com/info/story/setting

[Major Major]

Noted. So, would you like any other assistance with anything?

[elfguy]

Na I'm just waiting for a couple more to post their interest then I'll decide which char I'll play.

[RubySlippers]

Appearance: [looking for pic]

Name: Beula Matt

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Class: Bounty Hunter

Equipment: Small Ship with Secured Brig and is Well Armed and Equpped (includes a workshop for making devices), Medics Kit, Various Weapons, Custom Bounty Hunter Armor (good against kinetic and energy weapons, forearm guards useful against lightsabers plus a jetpack and various devices), Retractable Stun Staff (lightsaber resistant) and Bounty Hunter Guild Membership in Good Standing.

Bio: A young human bounty hunter she was raised on Tattoine to a respected member of the Guild and was trained since a small child tobe a top notch professional bounty hunter, following The Creed. She is Force Sensitive and instinctively uses that in her work giving her some limited ability to see things before they happen without training but handy added to that a knack for technology and making things she is very unorthodox. But she is deadly with many weapons and has custom bounty hunters armor with various features to give her the edge in a fight. Her skills include advanced first aid she prefers to bring in 'acquisitions" alive and will try to keep them alive.

Limits: Follows the Bounty Hunters's Creed which can limit her somewhat. Force sensitive which is good but can be bad in some cases fortunately being a member of the Bounty Hunters Guild offers neutrality during the current Jedi/Sith rivalry.

Starting location: Tatooine

[elfguy]

Nice, a bounty hunter!

Btw I was thinking for this we'd go with a NC-small group exotic thread. That way if there's combat and captures we'd be covered.

[Major Major]

Souns like a plan to me.

[RubySlippers]

She is great to most folks in your a person unless a bounty is on your head then your an AQUISITION and well fair game no longer being a person but a thing to take down. ;)

(no she doesn't have a thermal detonator its so crude to threaten an employer with one she just expects her fair bounty payment no more or less, unless she has no choice but to kill the target)

[Major Major]

Nice shout out to ROTJ there.

[Elohim]

I have a character that sort of breaks some of the typical rules of force users bouncing around in my head,  if the ST is willing to hear me out I"ll join this game.

[Major Major]

I don't see why he shouldn't. What is it?

[Elohim]

Essentially a human replicant droid created by sith alchemy capable of using the force.

[elfguy]

As long as it's not overpowered it's fine. I'd like force powers to stay close to what the canon powers are but otherwise I'm flexible.

[elfguy]

Character sheet

Appearance:


Name: Darth Alvara (cover name: Amanda)

Age: 28

Gender: Human Female

Class: Sith Inquisitor (cover class: consular)

Equipment: Laser pistol, Yellow light saber

Bio:
Darth Alvara's real name is known only by her most trusted lieutenants, and a few other select Sith. To everyone else, she is Amanda, a respectable Consular of the Republic. As a Sith Inquisitor, Amanda is very powerful with the force. She trained for most of her young years at the academy on Korriban, and then specialized as an assassin, doing under cover missions. She apprenticed for only 5 years under the previous leader of the Sith Academy, before she killed him. She could have then taken the position, but instead decided that would be too boring for her. She gave herself the title of Darth, and put one of her very few trusted people at the head of the Academy instead.

Since then, she keeps doing under cover missions, but the ones that increase her own powers. She works for herself, and is very unpredictable. By using her network of contacts, especially the ones on Korriban, she learns what she needs to know to find the best targets to attack and weaken the Republic and increasing her own reach. Being an expert at disguises and manipulation, she manages to go pretty much anywhere she wants under the guise of being a Consular. She keeps her saber in a pouch on her belt as to not raise suspicions, and even if someone notices her force powers, the fact that she uses a Yellow saber allows her to claim she is actually a Jedi under a special mission.

Her personality also varies a lot, based on the situation. She is usually very pleasant, and keeps a friendly front whenever she needs to. Her heart, however, is dark, and her only focus is to increase her own force powers, regardless of any other concern. By focusing all of her training on her mental powers, she reached a very high skill level and can outdo most others in force combat. However, her skills with a laser rifle and her lightsaber are below those of well trained masters, but still above average.

She currently has no apprentice altho she would like to find one, mostly to accomplish the more risky, menial tasks that she thinks are beneath her.

Limits: Death, lost limbs

Starting location: Korriban

[Major Major]

Limits: Death, lost limbs

Could you explain this part?

[elfguy]

Could you explain this part?

Actually I thought limits as things you dont want to happen to your character but I notice people didn't understand it this way...  ;D

[Elohim]

Character sheet

Appearance:



Name: Avalian

Age:  appears to be 18

Gender:  female

Class:   Mechanical force user

Equipment:  two saber  staffs (1 red, 1 purple.)  Grappling  hook,  cortis weave forearms. 

Bio:  Avalian is an abomination onto the universe,  a droid who’s mechanical frame was soaked in the blood of force sensitives,  until those very mechanical features of hers were capable of using the force as well.  She spent her early years as an assassin.  More often the not,  because she was able to appear as a typical,  though somewhat specialist machine  her presence was often overlooked.  Yet, as she became more and more self aware her desire to gain power increased.

While the academy at Korriban would not accept her,  she sought out other means of learning how to manipulate the dark side,  mostly via her own personal experimentation.  Her creator,  was not displease feeling as if he created a life form that was perfectly suited too the dark side.  Of  course she could not reproduce,  but, age would never be a problem to the mechanical monstrosity.

As for the machine’s personality,  she is chaotic…  which is not surprising.  She has essentially absorbed  the lives of countless force users.  One moment, she can be completely serene and without emotion before exploding without warning.

Limits: Surviving irreparable frame damage.

[pendarious]

erm i hate to be nit picky about this but the starwars-verse specifies that mechanical life forms cannot use the force even if they were once human or created via the force.........that's why grivous couldn't use the force.........

[elfguy]

Well I guess we could see what the majority wants. Do we allow force using experimental beings?

[KunoichiRogue5]

While it does specify that only living creatures, non-synthetic, can be force sensitive, that doesn't mean that the replica droid couldn't be modified to make it look like they have access to the Force. Magnets, stun rods, etc. There are countless systems a droid could use to blend in among force users, to outsiders. Only those that can sense the force would know the difference.

However she did specify Sith Alchemy so she might have 'trace' powers. But she wouldn't have the same abilities as normal force users, hers would be significantly limited. But as I said before there are countless systems she could be installed with that could compensate for the numerous powers that were missing.

Character sheet

Appearance:

Armored:

Name: Sha'rei Falenas

Alias: Ferid

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Class: Bounty Hunter(Jedi Outcast)

Equipment: Lightsaber(Violet), datapad, Mandalorian Armor, Crushgaunts(Beskar'gam), long barrel blaster pistol(Modified for heavy stun)

Ship: YT-2400 light freighter

Bio: Raised on Dathomir she rejected her family when they tried to force her to the dark side of the Force. She rejected it, clinging to the belief that life was sacred, and that the only people who should kill are those prepared to be killed. She was tortured for years, causing drastic damage, and horrific scars across her body. It was not until she finally snapped, and used the village's rancor to destroy their former masters, that she had the chance to flee. She fled far, being constantly hounded by the Night Sisters.

She was lost for nearly a week, before a Jedi found her. She was taken in and treated by them. The treatments helped but when pressed into a corner she was prone to violent reactions, accidentally slaying one of her training partners in the backlash. Horrified she was placed in a mental institution, but no walls could hold her. She escaped, vanishing on the world of Mandalore, beyond the reach of the Jedi.

It was there that she created a new identity. She kept her practices to herself, regarding her powers in the Force. She grew strong in the Force, gathering her strength, but always careful to avoid the dark side. With her training among the Mandalorians she became a bounty hunter, going out into the world to make her way.

She does not hate the Jedi, but she doesn't trust them any more than she trusts the Sith.

Limits: Falling to the dark side of the Force.

Starting location: Mos Eisley, Tatooine

[elfguy]

If that's fine with you then Elohim you would only have some trace amount of force powers, but since you're a mechanical user you could have extra systems to provide similar powers through artificial means.

[RubySlippers]

Great another bounty hunter. Thankfully the Creed keeps the two from each other unless your gal doesn't follow the Creed and are bountied then all bets are off.  ;)

Seriously we have two professionals there is plenty of work for us in the game with the cuurent state of affairs.

[Elohim]

I'll pass,  thanks though.

[NosCorventius]

I have a duo of characters I created for another Starwars RP but never got the chance to play them the only problem is they are another set of bounty hunters with some similarities to other characters here.. Sooo...I'll let you guys look them over and decide if you want me to join this one with them or if i should start from scratch.

Name: Gaxx
Age: 26
Race: Miraluka
Native Planet/where you grew up: Alpheridies/ deep space, various spacestations, and alien worlds.

History:  Gaxx grew up as the only child of the wealthy merchant, smuggler, and gifted starpilot Garan and Vash Lyxx, the youngest daughter of famous shipbuilder and Miralukan Industrialist, Varac. Tragically, Vash died while giving birth to Gaxx.The death of his mother resulted in Gaxx being dragged from System to system with only infrequent visits to his homeworld. Instead He spent his youth in deepspace, exploring spacestations, or wandering across alien worlds, under the watchful eye of his bodyguard and caretacker droid, LOM-S(Loomis). During this time Gaxx picked up several skills that would serve him well in his later career as a bounty hunter, including an intuitive command of languages. After the Death of Gaxx's father, at the hand of a cheated Glitterstim Merchant; Gaxx commandeered his fathers ship, Blind Luck, and set out on his own. Now with LOM-S, modified for his new duties, at his side Gaxx is building quite the reputation for himself. Gaxx prides himself on bringing in his bounties alive, a distinction that often gets him more work and a larger reward then his competition.

Psychology: Doggedly determined, Once he takes on a bounty he does not stop and will attack any who get in his way, Serious with an easy charm, Adaptive with a knack for improvisation.

Skill set: Hunting (Specialized), Pilot(Specialized), Small arms(Specialized), Tracking(Specialized), Hand to hand combat (Expert), Linguist(Expert), Splicer (Expert), Ships repairs (Advanced), Ships Maintenance(Advanced), Survival (Advanced), Animal Handling (Competent), Heavy Arms(Competent), Field medic (Competent).

Failings: Has a hard time relating to the sighted world, does not understand concepts like beauty, or art. Can be cold, calculating, and overly logical. Does not trust or get attached to others, Rarely speaks, unless looking for information.

Appearance: Gaxx is 6'4" and weighs in at 245 Lbs, with a classical commando style build. His eyes are covered with a blood red bandanna with the Mirlukan word Hunter sown across it in black calligraphy. His clothes are usually a mix of  Black, Grey, and Blood Red. His hair is black and military cut, His eyes if exposed are missing completely, only empty sockets remain.

Weapons: Nueronic whip, collapsible electrostaff, 2 Yil Sc'rath, Stealth-2vx Palm shooter (sleep and truth serum darts), DEMP2 Pistol, Wrist blaster(stun and blaster settings)

Other: Clothing changes depending on the job and function he is carrying out, among his favorites are The Creshaldyne Ind. Camo Scout Armor for night and more clandestine missions, and spacers clothes with a long black shadowsilk captains coat and a Barabel Microbe Armor Vest for more civilian endeavors. Occasionally will use heavier blast armor but dislikes it as it limits his movement too much for his liking. Also known to use several types of nonlethal weapons, preferring to incapacitate and imprison his bounties instead of killing them. His uncanny tracking ability comes from a specialized use of his natural Force Sight which allows his to hone in on his targets based on their bio-force signature. This ability works two ways: 1. If on the trail of a bounty and he finds something left behind by his target he can use that object or place ,in the case of camps or ships, like a compass to hone in on the general direction they took from that spot. 2. By possessing an object of the targets he can hone his senses to the targets individual signature, something that renders disguise, and hiding impossible and allows him to "see" you within 50 ft, no matter the obstacles in between. He requires such tokens from his employers before taking on a job, as well as something personal of the employers themselves, as insurance.

Name: LOM-S (Loomis)
Age: 20
Race: Droid, Industrial Automaton LOM-series Protocol Droid Special Edition
Manufacturers Planet: Nubia

History: Created to protect and teach Gaxx, LOM-S was specially designed to respond to Gaxx voice and protect him at all costs. He was given to Gaxx as a present on his 5Th Birth day by Gaxxs' Grandfather, Varac, who "could not bear the thought of his only grandson dying as well, especially so far from home..

Psychology: Fiercely protective and loyal to Gaxx, Hates to be shut down, patient and a good teacher/storyteller.

Skill Set: Linguist(Specialized), Protocols and Customs(Specialized), Security(Specialized), Splicer Droid (Expert) part of an upgrade Gaxx started years ago), Heavy arms (Expert), pilot (competetent).

Failings: Appearance makes him stand out, has a tendency to shoot first ask questions later.

Weapons: R-88 Suppressor riot rifle, Electro Mesh Netlauncher(bolted to shoulder.) 2 heavy blasters (concealed in upper arms.panels)

[Scribbles]

Appearance:


Name: Jaden

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Class: Sith Apprentice

Equipment: Lightsaber, purple

Bio:
Jaden was like any other Jedi student, just one who simply grew disillusioned as she hit her teens and her attitude became more flippant and interests more material. From that point it was pretty much inevitable she'd leave, with the only difference being whether it was by her masters' hands or her own. She chose the latter; one could only take so many frowns and whispers of disappointment.

Upon entering open space the young jedi immediately felt free of all responsibility and proceeded to basically do whatever she wished, utilizing her uncanny ability to manipulate minds to live a life of adventure and even luxury. It was her abuse of this power however that would spell her downfall as she picked one mind too many; the last being that of a powerful sith. She was captured with ease not long after.

At first she resisted, seeing no difference between the new order and her old one; a mistake she paid for with her right-eye. Soon enough though, with the right "encouragement", she was sith-ing with the best of them, or at least feigning it well enough so as not to make a mockery of her "esteemed" lords and save herself from even more "encouragement".

She's generally a social animal who loves life's small pleasures, like clothes, food, etc, but tends to walk a fine line as she strains to maintain a somewhat pseudo-freedom while following orders.

Limits:
Beside her obvious blind spot, she's also not the type to take much serious; even a fight to the death. Don't think she's given up on life however, just expect her to run or talk more than stand and fight. Also, while not the most adept with a lightsaber, it's best not to get in reach of her fists or legs; hand-to-hand was always her favourite training and she does like to improvise at times.

[elfguy]

Nice crew so far! I'm gonna leave it up for another day then start the IC thread.

As for more bounty hunters I have nothing against, I'm just surprised that they are so popular honestly.

[Major Major]

Hurrah. Though we do need more Republic characters.

[elfguy]

Hurrah. Though we do need more Republic characters.

That would be good yes.

[Galanthor]

i might be interested, just have to sort something out before I know  :-\

[RubySlippers]

Iwould have prefered a Republic admiral but that was not a class option you know Republic Officer or something.

[Urbanzorro]

Are you guys still accepting new characters?

[elfguy]

Yes. We'd like more republic if you're flexible.

[bigwad73]

RubySlippers, there should be Republic military officers at this point.  Why couldn't you play one?

And Elfguy, we may want to have one thread per planet/nearby space so that the RP make a bit more sense when you read it.  Or, do you consider that divisive?  Perhaps everyone should start their post with their Character Name and location if we only use one thread total?

[Will]

I may make a character... *thinks*

erm i hate to be nit picky about this but the starwars-verse specifies that mechanical life forms cannot use the force even if they were once human or created via the force.........that's why grivous couldn't use the force.........

Grievous was not a droid.  His lack of Force ability was because he was not Force sensitive.

[Novak]

Character sheet

Appearance:   

Name: Darth Kovan

Age: 60 but looks in his early 30's

Gender: Male

Class: Sith Master

Equipment: Red lightsaber with an all black hilt and armor close to mado armor under his cloak.

Bio: Marer Grill was born on Naboo and was quickly Identified as force sensitive.  Trained as a jedi and eventually made a master and sat on the counsil.  He disagreed with some of the ways jedi were denied simple emotions which he felt were vital to any living being.  He left the counsil and the order to travel on his own.  Along his travels he came across Korriban the home planet of the sith where he learned more of there culture and under the shroud of the darkside began to buy into their belifes and became a sith master taking on a young apprentice.

Limits:  Very powerful but his compassion for others is still a character trait that sometimes leaves him conflicted and vulnerable

[elfguy]

RubySlippers, there should be Republic military officers at this point.  Why couldn't you play one?

And Elfguy, we may want to have one thread per planet/nearby space so that the RP make a bit more sense when you read it.  Or, do you consider that divisive?  Perhaps everyone should start their post with their Character Name and location if we only use one thread total?

No I prefer one thread if at all possible. You will of course be able to start your first post with the picture of your char. I will start the thread tonight.

[Love And Submission]

I'm kind of intrested in being a smuggler. Are they still open or do you just want republic characters  right now?

[elfguy]

We don't have a smuggler yet so feel free to join.

BTW the way we'll keep the IC thread sane, is I'll ask everyone to start their posts with the name of your current location in bold.

[bigwad73]

That's what I meant.  ;)  Not the first post, but each post.  Anyway, yes, that should help.

[RubySlippers]

Well I'll drop my bounty hunter and do another character, odd politicians and other classes were not included its all fraking Jedi, Sith or criminals. Kind of limiting if one looks at it.

I for one think a former war heroine and admiral with lots of respect among the citizens and military would be a good thing to add.

[elfguy]

Sure I have nothing against that, I'd just like a good amount of action and interaction between people.

[Urbanzorro]

Here's my submission for a character hope you like. Also just as a note my character and Sinoraa's will be partners/have previous knowledge of one another (assuming approval by the GM)




Name: Wade Vox
Age:25
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Class: Smuggler
Weapons: Wade was always taught that an unprepared man is a dead one, and with that thought in mind he has a large variety of personal weapons in his quarters on The Rogue Bargain.


Duel blaster pistols designed to fire rapid volleys without overheating Wade's ll-30 blaster pistols are some of his most favored weapons due to their easy handling and firepower.

Blaster Shot Gun. He prefers it to a blaster rifle.


Sonic Pistol: Never very trusting of the Jedi order, and always wary of the Sith Wade makes sure to always have his sonic pistol with him due to the fact that its shots cannot be stopped or deflected by the laser swords that they use.



Flame Pistol: Small hand held flame thrower, capable of about 10 seconds of continuous use, Wade tends to hide it up his sleeve or some other place where it can't be seen and can be grabbed in a split second, using it at the beginning of a fight, or if an enemy gets too close for comfort.

Ion Grenades: "In case the local droids get on my nerves" Wade responds whenever anyone asks why the hell he carries them.

Equipment:
Security Cardlock Breaker
Grappling Hook
A99 aquata breather

Ship
The Rogue Bargain

A heavily modified ship, built almost from scratch by Wade and his father back when his father was still in the business. It was designed from day one to be a smuggler's dream come true. It is fast, maneuverable, durable, and deadly. It is designed to support a crew of two but can function with a crew of one if needed. The Rogue Bargain is able to carry up to 6 people split between 3 separate quarters. It  also houses several hidden weapons systems such as two dorsal mounted quad-laser turrets which extend side by side just behind the cockpit when activated, a chin mounted ion cannon, two concussion missile launchers who's missiles can be switched out for harpoons and towing cords should need be,  and a sonic mine dispenser.  as well as a hidden cargo area. So that at a passing glace it looks like little more than your average light freighter.

Bio: Born the son of a somewhat less than honest merchant Wade learned how to strike a deal at a young age, his father fully intending for him to take over the family business. Wade was taught all the tools of the trade from piloting a starship, to striking a hard bargain, and to knowing how to use a blaster when the time called for it. As the years passed by Wade slowly began to take on more responsibility. And his father began to take on less and less until finally his father retired all together and Wade worked on his own.

For the next few years Wade tried to make his fortune in the smuggling world there wasn't any cargo he wouldn't haul as long as the price was right. And when times were tight he wasn't above bushwhacking his fellow smugglers, taking their cargo, delivering it, and accepting the payment. To this end he extensively customized his ship, The Rogue Bargain.

It seemed he was destined to simply live the life of a solitary smuggler, until he made what he jokingly calls the two biggest mistakes of his life. One day when Wade was at the age of 23 he  got word of a high value spice shipment making its way for Hutt space. Without a second thought he took The Rogue Bargain out on an intercept course, catching up with his prey he was shocked to find that instead of another transport he was facing a group of several decommissioned military ships, apparently some pirates had learned of the shipment and beat him to it. But not by enough to avoid running into Wade. Outgunned and out numbered Wade was forced to surrender and was taken captive on board the lead ship.  He openly admits that chasing the shipment was "the first big mistake"


While on board he met the pirate captain's Twi-lek slave girl Meryk and managed to talk her into assisting his escape, in exchange for his promise to free her and take her with him. Working together they managed to disable the ship's tractor beam and get to The Rogue Bargain.

When ever Wade tells this story he jokingly says "and that's when I made the second mistake...I kept my word to the Twi-lek" Boarding The Rogue Bargain with the girl they blasted their way out of the hanger bay and made good their escape. Since that day Wade, unwilling to cast the girl out on her own where she would most likely become a slave once again, has found himself with a new 'partner.'

Limits: Wade is quick with a blaster, a great shot, and an outstanding pilot. But he is also lacking in any real sensitivity to the force,  and he isn't the greatest with a sword....ok he isn't great with a sword at all......ok fine, he isn't very good with a sword or other melee weapon all.

[sinoraa]

Name: Meryk (No surname)
Age:22
Skill set: Entertainer/Smuggler/Assassin
Species: Twi'lek
Bio: Meryk dosen't remember how she became a slave. Was she taken as a child, or were she sold? Either way, it didn't matter, she was trapped either way. Her life was fairly carefree, during her early life, when her only duty was taking dance lessons. The crew avoided having her do manual labor, as it might "Damage the goods". However, when approaching adulthood, that suddenly changed. She was suddenly expected to dance, in little to no clothes, serve drinks, and meals... And preform services to the captain, she'll never acknowledge to another person. Still she considered herself lucky. She'd been bread to be fair, and beautiful, as a future investment, for the captain. At least she wasn't open for grabs, like the rest of the slaves...

And so her life continued, unchanging. That was until, some random smuggler, managed to get captured by the pirates. Not a rare event, but this one was special...Or at least, so he made himself seem. She were to bring the new prisoner food, when he started talking. He was a silver tongued devil, by the name of Wade Vox. He complementing her looks, and told her all sort of tales. Meryk listened, fascinated, for despite living on a pirate ship, she rarely left the lower decks.

Looking back, Meryk isn't sure how the Wade managed to convince her, to help the smuggler flee. He seemed like a honest enough man, and perhaps it was his promise of freedom, that convinced her. She'd often been begged by captives, but she never trusted their words. They all feared for their lives, and would tell her, whatever she wanted to hear, if they thought it would get them free. Wade seemed more honest. When asking for her help, it sounded more like a honest negotiation, rather then a desperate plea.

And so, with the assistance of Wade, they narrowly managed to escape. Meryk now feared, Wade would turn on his word. After all he was free, what use was she now? But, much to her delight, Wade kept his word, and even offered her to come along, on his ship.

Still accepting Republic members then? I'll have to make one soon

[elfguy]

Yes.

Appearance:

Name: Kuroda Zonair

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Class: Jedi Knight (I know this wasn't in the list of classes, but they are still there, right? I'll change him to an apprentice if it's too big of a deal)

Equipment: Blue lightsaber, green shoto (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shoto for those who don't know what it is)

Bio: He was born on Corellia. At a young age, he was discovered to be Force sensitive, and was whisked away to be trained in the ways of the Force by the Jedi. He grew to be close to his master. Unfortunately, soon after Kuroda passed his test to become a Jedi Knight, his master was murdered by a powerful Sith. Despite the teachings of the Jedi, Kuroda has sworn to do whatever it takes to find and kill the one responsible for his master's death. Because of his, he often teeters dangerously close to the Dark Side of the Force. Only time will tell if he will fall.

Limits: Easily angered and tempted by the Dark Side. Also arrogant when fighting non Force users, believing them to not be much of a threat to him.

[RubySlippers]

Appearance: Dame Judi Dench in a Republic Admirals Uniform

Name: Admiral Matiha Thalos

Age: 40

Gender: Female

Class: Grey Jedi

Equipment: Dark Green Light Saber with Solid Design with Extra Power Cells and Protective Plating, Blaster Pistol, Protocol Droid [DEL-4325], Standard Fleet Communicator with Admiral Codes Added and the First Expeditionary Fleet [assets available up to the GM]. Also has two units of four Grey Cloaks each all advanced Padawan learners at this point trained in group tactics, "Grey Form" light saber combat and works inside the military system all took vows to serve the Republic and are military officers of Lt. rank and are Grey Jedi she hand picked and ttrained snatching up older prospects the Jedi wouldn't want to train.

Bio: Born on Alderaan to a large family that was working class she had a respectable education and left her teen years ready for better things. Enlisting in the fleet she rose through the ranks in decent order after leaving the Jedi Order as a advanced Padawan to serve her government, but she did have differences with the Jedi on principle all be told. After a field commission to Ensign she moved through the officers track eventually in battle took over the Republic Cruiser "Nova Fire" and destroyed a much larger Sith force with unorthodox tactics and luck. Her rise to the Admiralty came shortly afterwards. Since then she was the biggest proponant of military improvements and forming a Force Using Corps not trained by the Jedi she named The Grey Cloaks willing to use the Force but with more practical use to defend the Republic. Attaching them to the First Expeditionary Fleet which she commands and making many improvements. Among her forces she uses battle droids to back up highly trained Republic Troops with the Grey Cloaks as special strike teams working with the other two. She wishes to form her own Council and training program for Force users that is more pragmatic and frankly open to the Force operating between Light and Dark currently opposed by the Jedi. Currently she is considered a Jedi Master in aability fairly average for one as in capable at the basic force skills, her lightsaber combat is exceptional although she focused on her own form adding to Form I for a solid basic style that is quite effective and can deflect blaster shots its more an embellished Type I she calls "The Grey Form"which is taught to her own Force Users. Among her force powers two stand out she can use her lightsaber to block Force Lightning and her ability to See the Future is excellent but is tempered by her use of mundane means to aid in her plans military intellignecegathering and the like..

Limits:  Doesn't care for Jedi or Sith both are extreme in her view, and has tensions with the Jedi Council over her Republic Military use of Force Users trained outside their formal program. Is loyal to the Republic and lets her duty guide her from swaying to the Dark Side.

[Galanthor]

Name: Caelen G'oro

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Class: Jedi Master

Equipment: Blue Lightsaber and a Green one, which he mainly uses as spare weapon and for training a sommunicator and a spacehamster called oob (just for a laugh)

Bio: Gaelen was born in Coruscant so the Jedi immediatly found him, but didn't take him as he was just a baby. Still they tried to influence his life, but it did't help much. His parents were considered below the bottom of society and as such he joined a child gang before the council decided to picked him up. In the gang he was considered as something more then dirt and so he considered them as his family. When the jedi took him away from there he was terribly sad. In his frustration he studied night and day only back to curouscant as soon as he could, not realising that he  actuly more and more became a jedi himself. When he got assigned a master he already had a new family and for the first time in his life it was one that loved him. Even though he had lost  his resons to do so he still was absessed with learning more. Till one day he realised that nothing teaches as good as experience. Since that day Gaelen was barely seen in the temple rather holding contact via comunicator. Through the pace he was learning he quickly grew a master and they even wanted to make him part of the coucil, but as he did never appear in the temple to get announced they dropped the idea.

Limits: Though being a powerful Jedi, Gaelen still lacks in patience. Other then that he has the one weakness most jedi got, he refuses to fight as long as he think that there might be any other way

[elfguy]

Nice profiles, welcome aboard!

[Krayz]

Name: Khael Rhiese

Age: 44

Gender: Male

Class: Jedi Battlemaster

Equipment: two green, curved-hilted lightsabers, along with two green backup shoto

Bio: Khael Rhiese was born in a Mandalorian clan that was travelling the Outer Rim in search of battle with the Hutts. As a boy, he was known for his keen instincts and incredible reflexes, prodigious even by the warlike Mandalorians’ standards. During a rare time of cooperation between his family and several Jedi that were also working against the Hutts, Khael’s abilities were recognized as those of a Force-sensitive, and he was sent to live at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where he would be trained to become a Jedi Knight.

Khael’s time in the Temple was the worst of his life, despite excelling at most of his lessons. The boy was caught between maintaining his heritage and the loyalty he developed to the Jedi Order. Finally, after making peace with his path in life, Khael gave up his attempts to live by the Six Actions and forfeited his former life. A few months later, Khael was made the Padawan of a noted Jedi Knight.

Khael’s teacher taught him the arts of lightsaber combat to the best of his ability, and always found Khael only a step behind him; while he had given up being a true Mandalorian, the boy had not lost the natural zeal for battle that his people possessed. Thus, many of Khael’s lessons were in patience and mercy, though even to this day Khael can be a firm-handed Jedi Knight. Khael quickly went on to be recommended for the Trials, noted as having a powerful relationship with the living Force, though being perhaps too eager for battle. Soon after joining the ranks of the Jedi, however, Khael found his skills in battle tested; the Great Galactic War had begun.

Khael fought admirably for the next 28 years, his skills on the battlefield pulling him through more fights than three other Jedi combined. He grew to be a master of the first three Forms of lightsaber combat, a dervish in the battlefield, and added skill with a second blade to his already frightening battle skills. With only a few years left in the war, Khael was declared a Battlemaster of the Jedi order, and after the Treaty of Coruscant he was assigned to the instruction of the younglings in the arts of swordsmanship.

Limits: Khael, as Jedi go, can be quite ruthless, easily capable of rationalizing sacrifices for the greater good. Diplomatically, he can be impatient, and tends towards cool civility and formality, and does not tolerate stalling. He's quite blunt, rarely trying to cushion the truth. However, he is a caring person, underneath his hardened exterior, and will do his best to protect those weaker than himself.

"I'd like that sandwich!"

:D

[KunoichiRogue5]

Sorry everyone. I have to drop out. Thanks though. Have fun!

[NosCorventius]

interesting Looks like I'm the lone Bounty hunter for the game. Currently Looking for employ, any takers?

[elfguy]

Please remember to start your posts with your current location! Makes it a lot easier to read.

Thanks!

[Urbanzorro]

As far as employment goes I'd think that at least one if not all of our characters could have a bounty on their heads ;)

[NosCorventius]

Actually Sincwe it looks like I'm rather behind here And have to many other Rps to try to catch up on right now, I too am bowing out for now.

[Scribbles]

Sorry, but I think I might be exiting this RP too. I've fallen far too much behind and am worried I'm heading to a one-on-one as opposed to a group adventure, which was what I was looking for. I'm going to PM Novak and will probably post a few more times so he can get back into the flow of things but afterwards I think that's it.

It was fun while it lasted. Thanks everyone.  :-)

[Shade]

I'm sorry to hear that, Scribbles. I'm sure that all of the characters will intersect eventually, but I understand what you mean.

[elfguy]

If anyone feels left out in the RP I think a couple of characters are gonna go try and infiltrate a Star Destroyer. Now would be a good time to join up, Sith or Republic, we could find a way to make it work.

[thebobmaster]

Just to make sure I'm understanding your post correctly, there are still openings, correct? If you are worried about unfamiliarity, I intend to read the topic before joining if I can.

[Destiny Ascension]

If there are openings, is it possible for me to hop in? I'm in the process of reading through the thread now.

[elfguy]

Sure anyone can join.

[thebobmaster]

All right. I'll read through the story thus far. However, could you inform me where to put my character sheet?

[elfguy]

Here. Just see the first post.

[thebobmaster]

*facepalm* Sorry, should have noticed that. I'm so used to separate topics for character sheets that it was an automatic question.


Appearance: She is about six feet tall, 180 pounds. She has short blond hair, only going down to her shoulders, and green eyes. She generally wears light black armor, making sure it doesn't restrict her powers. AT the same time, she takes advantage of the flexibility of the armor, making it small enough to emphasize her average sized breasts and firm rear. Her skin pale, she tends to go around barefoot, preferring the feel of the ground under her feet. Her 180 pounds is caused by lean muscle on her body, causing her to appear much smaller than she is.

Name: Shayna Ashton

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Class: Sith Apprentice

Equipment: short silver lightsaber, black Echani fiber suit

Bio: Becoming a Jedi Padawan at the relatively old age of 15, due to being discovered later in life on the planet of Corellia, she trained at the Jedi Academy under her master for only 2 years. During those two years, she dealt with sideways looks every day, due to being several years older than others at her class. Desperate to prove herself, she constantly got into fights, only to be rebuked for her violent emotions. Before long, she escaped from the Academy at the age of 17. She had learned all that she needed from them. She wanted someone who would embrace her emotion, teach her to use rather than hide it. She went to the Sith. After 3 more years, she went out on her first mission. On that mission, she was asked to kill a captured Sith, to prevent him from telling Sith secrets. At least, that's what she had been told. She only found out after stabbing her lightsaber into his chest that it was a test, to show her loyalty. She had passed. But more than that, she knew she had found her passion. She loved the kill, the power. And she had no problems making the two meet. Despite her trust issues due to her past, she does feel a connection with Amanda, seeing her as a good ally.

Limits: She has poor trust issues, due to her past as an elderly Padawan. Due to that, she is unable to trust people for a long time.

Starting location: Korriban

[elfguy]

If you wanna come on the Star Destroyer, then I think the best thing is if you play a Sith then you would know Amanda somehow, or she would know you, and if you are a Jedi then saame thing with our Jedi friend. Just need to match us up somehow.

[thebobmaster]

All right. Makes sense.

[Destiny Ascension]

Appearance: Curvy blonde hair, reaching just below her shoulders, tied into a pony tail. 5 foot 8 inches tall and just about 150 pounds, with lightly tanned skin and a lean, athletic body tone. Brown eyes. Her common clothing changes from time to time, but she usually wears white or light colored colored tunics and slightly darker, grey or even brown pants, with some red or yellow colored boots and a dark green cloak.

Name: Syna Miran

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Class: Jedi Knight

Equipment: Green-crystaled lightsaber, communications device, tracker bug pistol and ammunition, large green cloak.
TX-990 Liberator-class star freighter. One forward Ion Cannon, room for 4 passengers and 1 pilot and a gunner.

Bio: Born the daughter of a Jedi and a Senate consular trade official, Syna was, from a young age, ushered into a life of servitued, training, thinking and understanding. Raised and trained in Coruscant, Syna was bathed in the life of a Jedi from her first steps and never experienced anything else of life, like many others including her father, a Jedi. Her mother worked for a Senate office, and surprisingly had less time to spent with Syna than her father, a Jedi Master. Between her father and other Jedi, Syna never had a real master until she was almost 15, with Jedi Master Keen Shu-an taking Syna under her wing and, for the first time, taking her away from Coruscant.

For almost a decade, Syna and her Master traveled the galaxy exploring the mysteries of the Force. Having a strong ability for the Force, and as a young child more than willing to use it, her Master very often preached the dangers of using her power and the link it had with the Dark Side. Syna never really understood, not until later, just how much her Master's words were true. Sometime around this period, when Syna was around 18, her father was killed by a Sith and she knew, immediately through the Force, what had happened. She remained resolute in the training she had dedicated her life to, not seeking revenge but vowing to someday, somehow, track down the Sith and bring him to justice. At the height of her training, Syna and her Master found themselves in the Outer Rim and not in welcome territory. Upon returning to Coruscant, Syna underwent the Jedi Trials, and was granted Knighthood by the Order.

More recently, almost 2 years after her elevation to Knighthood, Syna's old Master has gone missing near the Outer Rim.

Limits: Death, disfiguration or permenant injury.(This is personal limits right, or is it a character trait? I'm seeing both...)
Character: Feels highly marginalized, especially due to her harsh past, by the Galactic Republic as a whole. Regards the constant wave of trust or distrust toward the Order as a personal offense. Effect; she's impatient when dealing with politicians or anyone overplaying a charming personality.

Starting location: Coruscant

[elfguy]

Alright I'll post next. I'll assume that Amanda met the sith apprentice on Korriban and gave her a few pointers, which may be why she sees Amanda in a good light. As this mission goes on maybe you'll ask to become her apprentice, but that's up to you. I'll let shade handle our new Jedi.

[Destiny Ascension]

Sorry for the delay, I'll have a post up this morning!

[Shade]

Leaving me to handle the new Jedi, eh? Alright then.

Destiny, do you have any ideas about how our two characters might know each other?

Also, just a random question, Destiny. You wouldn't happen to be a Mass Effect fan by any chance, would you? I'm just asking because of your name

[Destiny Ascension]

Hmmmm, well, they're kind of the same age range and such, if he was trained on Coruscant maybe they were trained in the same time period?

Or perhaps they went on a mission together with their Masters later on in life?

Also, yessm, I am indeed a Mass Effect fan. A big one, actually. ;)

[Shade]

Yeah, I can see them maybe training together in the same group when they were younglings, before they became padawans and were taken to be trained by Jedi Masters. They'll probably need some history after that though, if they're going to be close enough friends that my character is willing to ask yours for help. Perhaps your character comforted mine after the loss of his Master?

Cool. Mass Effect is awesome. I can't play through those games enough times ;D

[Destiny Ascension]

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Perhaps they've been friends for a while, even before his Master's death.

I agree, I haven't played Mass Effect 2 nearly enough. IE, to the point I know ever line like Mass Effect.  :P

[Shade]

Alright, sounds good

I've started playing ME 2 again. I still have saves from ME 1 I haven't transferred over yet. So many different choices, so little time...

[Destiny Ascension]

Cool cool.

[elfguy]

Glad you two can get something together going :) Now we just need to get you guys and head for our target.

[Shade]

Yep. Which reminds me, I should post to the IC thread...

[bigwad73]

As you can see, I've held off on posting over the wild weekend I had, and now I'm going on my vacation.  *sigh*  I mean to post -a bit- while I'm away, but I have no idea how many times I'll have an internet connection available to me. 

This does not mean I wish to stop posting to the RP we're doing--I just don't know how often I'll be able to do it over the next month.  I apologize for the slowness, and please, progress the plot without me.  I'll catch up!
In any case, thanks!

Here's Jara's sheet

Appearance:


Name: Jara

Age: 27

Gender: F

Class: Bounty Hunter

Equipment: Blaster pistol, hand held small yield rocket launcher (the weapons in her hands), many different small items in her pouches including restraints, ropes, etc.

Bio: Jara was the daughter of a slave, brought up in a Sith world. Early on, she decided that she would not spend her life as a slave, and found a way to kill some of the guards before taking a ship and fleeing the planet she was on. She found out that she was very good with firearms and such became a bounty hunter. She mostly did work for Sith agents, and had no issue killing an capturing whoever they needed captured. When she met Amanda, she was on Coruscant, tracking a very hard prey, a Jedi Knight. Her prey was gaining the advantage, and threatening to win a battle over Jara. Amanda went out of her way to help the twi'lek, and the two have been friends ever since.

Jara tries to never display too much emotions. She found out from her early life as a slave that displaying fear or kindness would always be used against you at some point. She prefers staying closed off, and the one she opens up the most to is Amanda, who she secretly loves but would never admit it, even to herself.

Limits: Death, cut limps

Starting location: Her own ship

[Galanthor]

erm...sorry people going to draw back from this game...not good at writing at the moment...and well...

[BlueEyedBard]

I know this is a long shot, but are you still accepting characters? I can make up something from any side, whatever is needed.

[elfguy]

My fear is that the interest seems to have diminish. Most people barely post anymore :/

[BlueEyedBard]

Damnit...I have been wanting a Star Wars Rp so bad...

[Shade]

I was planning on waiting a bit longer before i put up my next post, but maybe i should just go ahead...

[elfguy]

Recruitment is still open to any side, Empire or Republic. You can either start your own plot or join the ones in progress.

[bigwad73]

Still interested in playing my mind controlling Sith, but the story seems to have moved on...

[Kate]

people still being accepted for this ?

[Gideon]

Is this still open for new people? And is there any minimum post length?

[elfguy]

Yes this is still open. Just use the char sheet and then post your opening.

Right now a group of us is finishing a mission inside of an Empire ship, and we'll be off to space again. Just specify where you are in the galaxy, and we can meet up and think of how to continue the plot.

There is no minimum post length but I think 2-3 paragraph is plenty fine.

[Marie Reynolds]

Is this game still alive?

[elfguy]

Semi.. We could use more people to liven it up.

[Marie Reynolds]

Okay ill start working up a character and post it as soon as possible

[Chazy]

I am interested. Thinking of playing a Jedi class character. Are you using the Saga Edition or Revised Core rule book for the d20 system? Or are you using the old d6 system? I am dieing to play something other than midevil fantasy games. I am a star wars fan so here I am...Let me know if you still have openings or not.

[elfguy]

Due to this RP dying I have started another, more plot based RP. See here:
