Star Wars... Post Jedi Purge/Pre-Rebellion RP (preferably FEMALE MECHANIC WANTED

[MaiMizzu]

May The Fourth Be With You!

Hello! So we had this idea...
It's a Star Wars RP, set approximately 5 years after Order 66 is given. The Jedi are now an endangered species, and it's well known that any that try to help them are hunted down and exterminated by the newly formed Galactic Empire.

Our story would focus on a single ship, smugglers/pirates. They have no real love for the Empire, or the new laws its put into place. The crew would be 4-6 people (never more, never less), and it could be a rotating crew. Like.. if someone loses interest, we just say they decided to take another job. And then we have to hire someone else (recruit someone else into the RP). We would also want a balance between males and females. Now you can play anything, you can have any role on this ship. It's a ship just a tad bigger than the Millenium Falcon. Positions probably wouldn't go terribly further than engineer/mechanic, co-pilot, second in command. The only positions that are taken is the Captain and the Jedi.

Oh yeah, the Jedi.

Well part of this story will be how a Jedi is hiding amongst this little crew. She'll want to blend in, keep her status a secret. She just wants to be a member of the crew. And of course having a Jedi on board will bring about problems. What if the Empire finds out and suddenly the little band becomes public enemies number 1? What if one of the crew decides to turn in the Jedi for a nice bounty? What if some of them don't trust the Jedi, since by now the smear campaign against them would be in full swing and all.
But please, don't think this is all about the Jedi. Far from it. I want the Jedi character to be just a member of the crew. Not the star of the RP, by any means. The stars will be the whole crew. I just think playing a Jedi in this setting sounds fun. And also.. there should be just one Jedi on the crew. To make sure it stays interesting.

Now we were throwing around ideas for the crew.. a reformed Clone Commando came to mind, maybe he quit after Order 66. Any number of aliens. I mean see what you can come up with. In my own lil head, I see this as more of a Star Wars/Firefly thing. That sort of comradry/familial setting.

Please keep in mind this is JUST an interest check. We want to see who we get to respond. Also keep in mind we really want this to be long term, so we want a commitment. We want this to be an ongoing story. I mean it's set in the Star Wars universe, there's millions of things to do! And please.. don't take offense to this.. but we will be picky about who we have in the RP. Once you would, for example, fill out a CS, we would look it over and look at your history. Again, we're gonna be a bit picky with this. We love this idea, and it needs to happen a certain way for us. If you're a good story teller that's reliable.. hell you can probably be in!

So, does this pique your interest at all?

Any chance this might use the Star Wars SAGA system? In that case I'd be extremely interested ;D

No systems. Free form.

[Latooni Subota]

I'd definately consider myself interested. Always have a few concepts floating around for Star Wars, and what ship couldn't use a twi'lek mechanic with a useless pit droid sidekick to keep it together? Have you SEEN how much a good Astromech droid costs? Yeesh!

[ManofDawnLight]

I'm interested, but other than the movies and a little of clone wars...and the two PS3 games, I don't know all that much about the Lucas universe.  But I bet I can fake it.  Playing a mostly robot cyborg would be interesting.

[Batman4560]

The extremely tired, angry, and annoyed Batman is interested.

[Countdown]

Huge fan of Firefly and Huge fan of Star Wars.

So...you've got my interest.

[Cassandra LeMay]

Hmm... I have a character from a d20 Star Wars game that I could adapt for this setting. She was a traveling representative/negotiator for the entertainer guild with good skills in diplomacy, business, and alien cultures, not to mention some limited piloting skills she picked up during her adventures. Plus she spoke several alien languages. Tweeking her background to fit the setting should be easy, as the game was set just before Phantom Menace. A good negotiator with a wide array of language skills could be helpful to the crew during business negotiations.

Color me interested.

Thank you for your interest! But this will actually after episode 3 and before episode 4. About 5 years after revenge of the sith

[Cassandra LeMay]

Yes. I know. You said that. I would have to age her a bit and come up with a bit of background story to fill a few years, but at least I would already have a foundation to build a character history on, and some "feel" for the character. Better than coming up with something from scratch.

[Sara Nilsson]

what section would this go into?

[Florence]

I might be interested :o

Though I was thinking of attempting a Star Wars: Saga Edition game on here... but... that might be a ways off anyway xD

Would there be room for a Mandalorian?

Perhaps a former bounty hunter who recently got stung in the ass by the Empire after doing a job for them. Like, perhaps it was some top secret job, and they wanted to clean up loose ends (ie. my character.)

I have another Mandalorian, Nealla Varr in an rp set during the Old Republic, I might have this be like... her... great-great-great-great-great-great (etc.) granddaughter xD

She'd probably fight primarily with an antique vibroblade and a pair of heavy blaster pistols or something. Some gadgets on her armor as well, flamethrower, a jetpack, etc.

[MaiMizzu]

what section would this go into?

I haven't narrowed it down.. I'm really bad with the sections and what goes where and what people expect. So let me tell you my intentions.
As with all of the RP's I participate in, I want there to be some romance and love. Not.. the main story, but it's a sidestory. So Sex will be allowed in the RP, but it will never be the main thing. If there comes a situation where slaves come up.. well I mean there is lots of planets where there are slaves, but that's another story line. I hope that makes sense.

Would there be room for a Mandalorian?

I don't see why not. So long as one thing is kept in mind.. the captain of the ship is the captain of the ship. And anyone who isn't down with that will find themselves without a job and without a ship to work on. In my mind, everyone on the crew works for the captain. he pays them a cut of whatever they come across.

[Orange Marmalade]

Expression potential interest here, though I'm not sure on a concept yet.

It looks like no one has bitten on the ex-Clone Trooper yet, so maybe something along those lines. A reformed clone assassin? Trying to find a more 'normal' life now that doesn't include hunting down people and killing them.

[Florence]

A Mandalorian is a disciplined warrior. That said, they would have trouble following someone they didn't respect. As long as the captain is a good leader, they won't find any disloyalty from my Mando.

My Old Republic era Mandalorian is Nealla Varr; this one might be her descendant, I'm playing around with names. I like the sound of Aila Varr, but its pretty similar to Ayla Secura's first name, so... not sure. I mean, sure, in all the Galaxy there's probably another Luke or Han somewhere too, but still.

[Sara Nilsson]

Am interested in playing a doctor of some sort if people think that might be useful. :) Ill give it a better think after work

[Green Goo Theory]

I'm assuming this RP would be following Legends canon.  Am I right?

[MaiMizzu]

I'm assuming this RP would be following Legends canon.  Am I right?

Forgive me for sounding foolish on a subject so near and dear to my heart, but what do you mean by 'Legends' canon? Like.. this would be considered an AU? If so, I don't think it entirely would be. I mean we'll never interact with Luke Skywalker or anything, but we are interacting with the Star Wars universe. There's thousands of untold stories from this era, and this could be one of them. Eventually we may have dealings with the newly born organized rebellion, or maybe we'll decide to avoid such things all together.

Sorry, I keep forgetting it's new.  Disney finally announced their canon policy for Star Wars.  Basically the whole G, T,C, and N canon system they used to have is gone.  If you didn't know about all that the G canon was like...movies, T was like the clone wars CGI cartoon, C was like the books and stuff, and N was non-canon.  Basically, they had it laid out to help with contradictions.  Anything that contradicted the movie didn't exist.  And...the higher up it was the more importance it had.

well...Disney's new system is if it's not the movies, the clone wars CGI cartoon, or the new line up of novels that aren't out yet it doesn't exist.  Which screws over RP since like 90% of what people are going to use probably isn't limited to just the movies and the clone wars cgi cartoon.  I get screwed over even since pretty much every character I've ever made can't exist anymore if we use Disney's new canon.

[MaiMizzu]

If Disney and Mr. Lucas wants to sue me for not going with their new system, well they can have my PS3. Maybe.

I think we shouldn't go by that. I we used Expanded Universe stuff with the movies stuff, I don't really see how there could be much of a conflict. As I said.. we're one little ship in a big ol galaxy. This is our story, we're going to put in it what we want. If we come to a conflict, or if my council sees a conflict, we'll deal with it in a fair manner.

Or a manner that makes me happy. Whichever.

[Green Goo Theory]

That's what I wanted to hear.  Thanks :D

I was half-way through a reply to explain then when I saw you'd already clarified xD

Though I'm still not entirely clear WHAT they're doing with canon. The actual statement they made was very, very vague, and basically everything else I've heard about it has just been speculation. The actual statement itself wasn't really clear if the EU changes apply just to the post-RotJ EU, or to the entire EU itself.

It did sound like they're working on a single unified canon, though, which to me makes me think that certain aspects of the Pre-RotJ EU are going be decided as either canon or non-canon, though I'm curious if they intend on telling us what is what at any point, or if we'll just have to speculate until something is mentioned in a new canon work.

Personally, until its all cleared up, and if the new canon doesn't suck horribly, I'll be setting any and all Star Wars rps and writings of mine in the Legends canon.

Also, you forgot S canon xD

It was G Canon, T Canon, C canon, S Canon and N Canon.

G = George; aka. movies.
T = Television; aka. Clone Wars.
C =  Continuity; the bulk of the EU canon fit here.
S = Secondary; questionably canon stuff such as older comics and whatnot.
N = Non-Canon; stuff that is definitely and completely non-canon.

There was technically also going to be a separate canon; D-Canon for the Detours series... not sure why... seems like that would fit neatly under N canon to me.

But yes, now there's just going to be Disney's new canon, and the classic EU stuff will go into the new Legends banner.

[Green Goo Theory]

Yeah, I  forgot S canon. 

They left part of it intentionally ambiguous though 'cause they plan on expanding on item at a time.  Like...they're going to add the Bane stuff in but it's not officially in.  Same with the Revan stuff. They mentioned (but they were once again ambigous) about pre-series content too.  Really what they wanted to do was focus on the episode 7 and later so they weren't limited by a bunch of books, video games, RPG's, etc.  So everything afterwards is gone. 

[vin26m]

This seems like a great idea.  Basically, the female Jedi is like River Tam.  The Jedi's identity and her abilities are a secret because she is on the run, she becomes part of the family that is the crew, and the crew chooses to help her and protect her.  Great stuff.

I would like to see the crew get into ethical dilemmas that the Jedi has to confront.  For example, the crew could uncover some really bad stuff or meet some really bad people.  Or, the crew gets in over their heads and they need to be saved.  The Jedi would feel compelled to use her training to help.  The crew can then back her up.  Maybe she gets tempted with using the Force for selfish reasons, too.  There could be some Jedi sympathizers in the crew, lamenting the loss of the Jedi, hoping for a... Return of the Jedi.

Maybe the Jedi character is not alone.  She could be traveling with someone like an Antarian Ranger, a non-Force-using traveling companion and support specialist.  Only the Ranger would know the secret, and the Ranger would be in as much danger as the Jedi.

Mai, who exactly is this "we" you are referring to?

Yeeeeeeah that's really a comparison I didn't want to make. Because.. well I saw a meme once about who wants to play what character in a Firefly RP. There's Mal.. and then every other character is River or a variation. When we came up with this idea, the Firefly was more of a reference for me in regards to.. they're a band of scoundrels who occasionally get in over their heads. They're good people on the whole, but not afraid to rob a bank or something if they need to eat. Or fuel. I think most (most) would draw the line at like.. robbing innocent people or assassinations. Bounty hunting could be fun. But the comparison of the Jedi and River.. the only links I would want to make is that they both are not what they seem on the surface. Which might also be said for almost everyone. However, the group in power (the Alliance and the Empire) are both hunting for them. While the Alliance knew of River and wanted her, the Empire doesn't know of our Jedi specifically. They know there are still Jedi out there, so she is part of a much larger scale hunt.

Mai, who exactly is this "we" you are referring to?

My partner and pal Apygoos is playing the Captain. And he's my council on most things, period. He's a good egg. He doesn't wanna be co-GM, so I'm taking on the reins on that one. But we have an open line of communication.

Just throwing this out there, though. My Mandalorian is totally Jayne. Just. Female.

I imagine she has this big stash of weapons in her quarters, probably named her favorite guns. Probably has a fair amount of grenades stashed away at any given time too.

So, here's the real question then...

Who's Inara?

[TheLostCastor]

I dropped you a PM Mai, you have me interested. Thank you for consideration. :)

[apygoos]

Mai, who exactly is this "we" you are referring to?

this is your captain speaking.

[Batman4560]

Yeah I am curious about what kind of characters we are going to be allowed to play and what characters we cannot?

[MaiMizzu]

Yeah I am curious about what kind of characters we are going to be allowed to play and what characters we cannot?

'Kind of characters'... um.. well my thought is that.. well this is a crew in need of work. So as long as your char listens to the captain and doesn't cause to much trouble, it shouldnt be an issue. As for species.. sky's the limit. If it's in the SW universe, you can play it. But be reasonable, okay? No.. Vong or anything dumb like that. Your character can be an asshole, as long as he/she does his job. As for what job you have.. think of it this way. When the captain hires you to be on the crew, he's going to hire you for a certain skillset. Not because you're pretty. ... okay MAYbe because you're pretty, but that's rare. So if you can be co-pilot, the captain will probably want you in. If you're a mechanic, you're in. If you're good in a fight or tracking, maybe you're in. But keep in mind.. well the captain won't need 2 mechanics (as an example). Does this make sense?

[ManofDawnLight]

Could we have a total of how many are interested in the game now?  You said 4-6 crew member with rotating crews.  Have you met your quota?

[apygoos]

Yeah I am curious about what kind of characters we are going to be allowed to play and what characters we cannot?

well the only thing thats off the table is a Jedi. As we assemble the crew for this tale, as Ash said from the get-go, this is intended to be a LONG term RP, so a character that bring..well character. What I have envisioned by the captain thus far is he is a man that appears to be of about 27ish years old with a past he doesn't like to discuss. He claimed to serve in the Republic armed forces before the Clones were implemented, and after that worked on the global security force on Courscant until the rise of the Galactic Empire. then he hijacked a ship and has been working as a smuggler ever since

Could we have a total of how many are interested in the game now?  You said 4-6 crew member with rotating crews.  Have you met your quota?

"rotating" crew serves to say if for some reason you need to drop out of the RP, you would be able to be replaced, hopefully with proper actions in the story. Hopefully no one will need to be replaced at all. once we put together a character sheet of sorts to work on, perhaps if you can entice us, we might, or might not, raise our hunt number from 6 to 8. mostly because most of you here seem really excited and pumped up about the idea, the kind of ambition we're looking for. It's going to be a small, family like RP, set for a smuggler and his crew sticking it to the empire, with a sandbox feel on day to day life. There will be action of course, but, this will be about the relationship between this crew.

[MaiMizzu]

And that's why he's my council.

[Florence]

I'm gonna be a Hutt Mandalorian :B

... no, but seriously... Nealla was human, so... actually that doesn't mean crap. Adoption is completely legitimate among Mandalorians, so... theoretically, her bloodline could be like... 100% Rodian and still be considered a direct descendant of Nealla as far as Mandalorian culture is concerned xD

Honestly though... she'll probably be at least part human. I might have her be part of a near-human race... maybe part Kiffar, or Ubese.

We should definitely have an "Inara" type character being a Zeltron :D

... or a Twi'lek, I suppose, but dem Zeltron ladies :D

[Green Goo Theory]

Is it just jedi or should all force users be on the ban list?  'cause there are more than just Jedi and sith available at this point in the timeline.  kind of ruins the presence of the jedi if there's other force users on board.  Or at least trained force users.

[vin26m]

Are the captain and the Jedi going to be a couple?

[Batman4560]

Cool, cool. Hmmm I think I will play a Bounty Hunter who does alot of slicing. If that would be o.k.?

Its worth nothing that Jedi weren't the only targets of the Empire's Inquisition. Any force users who weren't subservient to the empire were either MADE subservient or killed.

That said, I'm curious if we could have untrained force sensitives on the crew, perhaps the Jedi could eventually train them.

damn it stop trying to tilt my hand! When it comes to the force, there is something about the captain in that department, but i don't want to say too much or it will be ruined from being found out through RP.

Cool, cool. Hmmm I think I will play a Bounty Hunter who does alot of slicing. If that would be o.k.?

bounty hunter is possible, but of course make sure you explore all options you may have that you think may be fun for you. like said before, this is a long term RP, pick osmething youll hang in long term for

Are the captain and the Jedi going to be a couple?

that will be determined through RP.

[Batman4560]

Yeah I as thinking something along the lines of basing him on a cross of Mission and Canderous.

[Florence]

that will be determined through RP.

I vote on a love triangle. Or. Squiggle.

Everyone in the ship competing over the Jedi. xD

If you really didn't want to ruin it, you could have just said yes or no :P

Is there an ETA on when we'll get character sheets to fill out, I'm brimming with ideas for my Mandalorian.

[MaiMizzu]

Everyone in the ship competing over the Jedi. xD

I know you're just joking, but I want to make it clear.

I'm playing the Jedi. And though this was partly my idea, I don't want this to be about the Jedi. I mean she'll have her own story, but she won't be the star of the show. Our unfolding story will be about this small crew of misfits trying to survive in the darkness. It's how they interact with one another, their feelings towards one another, their feelings towards the changing galaxy around them.. it's about their survival as a whole. They are all parts of this symphony we are putting together. Which reminds me of an old Bebop promo that kind of helped put me into the mood for this thing.

"4 cowboys, 4 bounty hunters, 4 hearts 4 notes
Following a dusty trail of money, sin and desperation
Living day to day, dreaming hour to hour
4 beats, 4 parts of a movement
Mars to Venus, Callisto to Ganymede
Bounty to bounty and outlaw to outlaw
1 ship, 1 crew, 1 destiny"

I think that mirrors my intentions for this RP pretty well. The hunted Jedi will just be one piece. But we are all the puzzle. We may get hired to help out a small colony against some assclowns, we may smuggle goods for crime bosses.. whatever we have to in order to make it to the next day, to the next payment.

I'm liking how this rp sounds so far. Star Wars meets Firefly meets Bebop... This rp is starting to sound like what we all hope Rebels will be like, but terribly fear it won't.

Also, my Mandalorian is totally better than Sabine :C At least based on what they've revealed of her so far. Stupid pink-armored graffiti-punk :C

(Just watch, Rebels comes out and Sabine turns out to be my favorite character.)

Always a good song but I kinda feel like http://youtu.be/Los0g9Et7Ow is a good fit as well.

[JamesSureWould]

Hmm, this seems like fun.
Okay, so three (very rough) ideas
* a slacker pilot/co pilot. He's great at flying (maybe even went to a republic flight school a few years back), but good luck waking him up to do his job. Joined up with the crew after the repuvlic became the empire. Well, there was some time inbetween, but what happenes in hut space stays in hutt space
* a bookish mechanic. His father and mother worked at a university on the outer rim, so he learned a great deal about everything he could. But, with the collapse of the republix, his family fell about shortly after the university.
* a non force user with a lightsaber. Yes, it's kinda silly and cheesey, but it's a character I've had bouncing around in my head for awhile. Basically, someone with little to no force sensitivity decides they want to try and be like the jedi. So they train constantly in order to use the one weapon of the jedi that doesnt require the force; the lightsaber. They'd also try to follow the jedi code of honor as best as they could.

Please, comment and critique

Is there a character sheet in the works?  I'd like to pm my character idea formally.

I should point out that while use of the lightsaber doesn't require the force, deflecting blaster bolts with it pretty much does. I mean, you can luck out and deflect one by chance, but a Jedi uses the force to sense the blaster bolts coming, and react quickly enough to deflect them. Someone without the force can really only flail wildly and try to get lucky.

Also, lightsabers do require extensive training, far more than vibroblades, as the weight is entirely in the hilt. That means that it can be incredibly difficult to 'feel' where the blade is, which can mean life or death in the heat of battle. You have to be able to focus on your enemy, not be staring at your weapon to make sure you know where its pointed.

A big part of sword-fighting comes from feeling the weight of the blade and knowing where it is so you can easily coordinate your attacks and parries.

That said, its not impossible to use one effectively. Just look at how much ass Pre Visla kicks with his saber. Though, of course, he is a Mandalorian. :3

[apygoos]

Is there a character sheet in the works?  I'd like to pm my character idea formally.

Ash went to bed a while ago. sheets wont be coming till tomorrow earliest.
To clarify, I'm not a GM here, as I have obligations in many other Games[Marvel Liberation (GM), Gotham Origins [the only other hero in the game right now], Classic Xmen, Marvel ANB, and HAF and it would be irresponsible for me to say "ill run this game". The idea for the game started as my thought, and Ash and I talked about it over the course of a week, now here we are
The more I think about him, the more my captain pilot is coming together in my head, he will be quite fun, and faceclaimed by Bradley Cooper.

[MaiMizzu]

Yeah please allow me to add a lil something to the lightsaber conversation. When I first started RP'ing, I played with one of the best Jedi RP'ers ever. And eventually he asked me to help build a site for guidelines to Jedi RP. And I was tasked with helping to write the pages for lightsabers. ANYwho...
Anyone can use a lightsaber. It's not a matter of being Force sensitive or anything. Anyone can use a lightsaber, but only Jedi can use it well. As stated, the blade has no mass. The center of gravity is in the hilt, which makes it awkward. It's hard to tell where the blade is by the 'feel' of the handle. So most that try to use one in combat end up lopping off one of their own arms or other limbs.

Im gonna go see Spidey now, but when I get back we'll cobble together an application for you guys. Note I said application, not CS. We're only looking for 4-6 more people (at this moment, could change). So not everyone will get in. As stated, we want this to be long term. This is going to be the journey of their lives, not just an episode or so. I'l have you PM me your application and we'll make decisions then. If you're not chosen..  please do not feel bad. We want this RP to be special for everyone, not just a random RP you joined that week. Takun Apygoos is the captain, so he'll have input in this. So please be patient. Oh, and it's not gonna be a matter of who turns in an Application first. It won't be first come first serve. So don't feel the need to rush. You can't do your best if you're feeling rushed, okay?

See ya'll later!

Slight addendum I feel I should point out: TECHNICALLY, non-force users have, in the canon, used lightsabers to a degree I would classify as 'well', but they were definitely atypical cases. The two most prominent I'm aware of are Grievous, who was aided by the fact that he was basically entirely cybernetics, and had various enhancements that made him deadly with his lightsabers without requiring the force. Someone with his level of cybernetic replacements is extremely rare, however, and it was considered extreme by... basically everyone else in the Star Wars universe. I don't think even Darth Vader's level of cybernetics came close to rivaling Grievous'.

The other was Pre Visla, who was an elite Mandalorian with presumably a lifetime of combat training. One can only assume he trained night and day to because as proficient with the lightsaber as he did, and even then, if you really watch him... while he was certainly GOOD, he was not much more deadly with it than he could have been if he'd just stuck with a vibroblade for instance.

I swear I'm not trying to be... ya know... that one Star Wars nerd who points out all the random obscure Star Wars facts xD And again, I'm not disagreeing with you, just pointing out that exceptions to the rule DO exist. That said... I'd have to be personally against player characters in this being among those exceptions. And, ICly, if my character is accepted, she'd probably slap a non-Jedi trying to use a lightsaber, "While you're playing around, trying not to lop your own leg off with that damn thing, you could be mastering a weapon you'd actually be good at."

Personally, I think unless you're setting something during the Old Republic era, or during the New Republic, a story or rp typically feels more true to the Star Wars 'feel' if lightsabers remain rare. In the Dark Times and Rebellion eras, I feel like a lightsaber should be something that when another character sees it, its a 'holy shit, you're a JEDI!?' moment xD

a Lightsaber is also a good way to get a fuckton of unwanted attention to you. When the Jedi were wiped out, the knowledge of how to make one went with them. Good luck getting to Illum for a crystal anyway. You're generally right though. pulling out a lightsaber should have a real oh shit moment in this game.

[Latooni Subota]

Remember, Stormies have a shoot-first questions-later attitude to people with lightsabers!

[Florence]

Well, I would hope not with Darth Vader. That could get awkward fast :P

[apygoos]

id be more concerned about the bounty hunter that might see it and wonders how much theyd get for turning you in.

[Sara Nilsson]

which isnt to bad. just stand in front of them and you are safe ^^

[Latooni Subota]

But sometimes those stormies get smart, and aim at their friends, ending up in you being headshot. :P

[Sara Nilsson]

darn those sneaky imps!!!

*shakes fist*

[apygoos]

lets not forget the one stormtrooper that actually hit Leia! oh and the ones that hit the Rebel welcome party on the blockade runner. OH! and the ones that seems to be SO good at aiming, they torched Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.
it is debatable howeve rthat as the original trilogy progressed, troopers were getting worse. I guess that's what happens when you cut off the clone supply and enlist the eager hands of the Empire go through the academy.

[Florence]

I think my Mandalorian's name will be...

Kiden Varr.

Still working out her personality and stuff, though.

[MaiMizzu]

Okay I'm home! Me and my council are gonna talk, and we'll put something together.

And yes, the lightsaber coming out will be something of a turning point, at least for the jedi. the whole point is that she wants to blend in, she doesn't want to be spotted. by anyone. after all this time, how does she know who she can trust at this point?

[Metro Mech]

I am interested but will you allow characters with higher power in the chair of command?

[Florence]

I am interested but will you allow characters with higher power in the chair of command?

It's set on a ship, and the captain is taken?

From what I gathered, the ship is not a part of any fleet... so... what higher position in the chain of command are you talking about?

... though it would be hilarious if some nutty character insisted that they were an admiral.

[MaiMizzu]

In our story, the captain of the ship is the one in charge. This isn't the military, not part of any fleet. Except whatever trading guild there might be. Whoever the captain wants to put in charge he can. Whoever he thinks will run his ship the best, he'll put them in charge. It is his ship, after all.

What needs to be decided... once we have our finalized crew... is just how long everyone's been on board and working for the captain. If any time at all. The Jedi will be the new prospect, just someone looking for a job.

[apygoos]

the captain of the ship is taken. Since yall are on his ship anywaythough, a certain levle of respect should eb given him, but they're all generally equals, contributing their skills to teh greater goals of survival in the fugitive from the empire  lifestyle.
the captain is a pilot, and is a wicked gunfighter, we have an undercover jedi, so on the ship someone of a mechanic that likely knows a little more about ship upkeep than the captain does, a medic, a slicer. you know, things that generally meld together in a situation as that.

So... again, sort of like Firefly, basically?

A degree of respect and equality is given to the crew, but the captain makes the decisions and if you disagree, you can get off at the next stop (or sooner, depending on the severity of said disagreement)?

At any rate, as for my Mandalorian; most likely she's be the ship's 'muscle', or as she'd put it, she specializes in the practical application of blaster-usage in diplomatic and security-related functions.

Okay guys and dolls. This is what I came up with. Please fill this out, and PM the completed apps to me. We'll look them over, and then make our final roster. Thank you to everyone for your interest, and good luck!

I'm always terrible when I'm asked for a specific height and weight for my character >_> I just have no idea what to put down.

Edit: Btw, for clarification; how brief is brief? xD A paragraph? Two? Three? I don't mean to split hairs or anything, but I feel like if I don't have a more specific guideline, I might wind up getting carried away and writing a short novel xD

the write a short novel! sometimes my post are short, sometimes theyre long.. also feel free to share your sheets here as well, that way, you could almost have collab character building going on ;)

[MaiMizzu]

Put as much or little as you want, as stated. I'm not gonna say 'ZOMG typing 2 much!!'

[Florence]

Understood.

Another concern though... images... I settled on Arkanian for Kiden's species... which leads to the problem... its really hard to find a picture that would fit an Arkanian.

They tend to have pure white eyes xD

There's quite a few if you use comics or drawings! :)

[apygoos]

also might be someone on here that could shop pictures for you too.

[Green Goo Theory]

I have a small collection of pictures too.  Not all of them might fit for SW but I do have some relatively decent stuff if the search gets narrowed down.

Still working on a character concept too.  My two existing characters don't work here so I have to build something new.  Never used a droid or cyborg before but...eh. 

[TheLostCastor]

Name: Rashik Vahano

Age: 29 Years old, Ancient by street urchin standards.

Species: Human

Gender: Male

Height: 6’5

Weight: 205lb’s

Abilities: Sharpshooter, Infiltration specialist, Skilled Slicer, Expert level hacking capabilities, Knowledgeable of Underworld workings.

Specialty: Expert Slicer, average skill at personal weapon maintenance.

Equipment:Infiltration suit, masks his heat signature.DX-6 Disruptor Rifle/Blaster. Antiquated, but effective.

BRIEF Biography: Rashik has spent most of his life on the streets of Nar’Shaddaa. He began as a lowly street urchin, stealing chips and slicing difficult hacks for a living…before being picked up by Hanno, the Hutt leader of the Notorious Devano Hutt clan. Under Hanno, he has received extensive training in the art of assassination, his rifle and suit more comfortable than any duster wear…the man is rarely seen without the deadly combo.

Image/Facelaim:   Rashik     In combat gear Rashik   

Sample RP:
Shit….should have had a stim before leaving…this is really getting out of hand...

Rashik’s hands quiver on his rifle, edging his barrel millimeters in either direction as he fights to control the tremors. His gloved fingers clench on the trigger, a hairsbreadth from triggering the deadly reaction. The man’s addiction was running its toll…the stimulant high fading as the need for another injection arises.

Focus Rashik…Mind on the mission.

“Two high…Take subsection B into the alpha relay, then reroute to the second elevator. Just so it’s known…we are officially operating the back-up plan.” He whispers into the open air, the transmitter in his beloved xenon infiltration suit filtering the sound before relaying it to his team…all in a millisecond.

The team. He forces his trembling hands to steady, monitoring their progress through the scope of his rifle as they worked their way through the power station. This whole damned operation should have been scrapped long ago…but the captain said the cargo was vital. And that was all Rashik needed.

Come on…three more floors.

The man’s hands cease their quivering as he shifts positions, sliding his knees along the roof top he was currently perched upon. His suit blended perfectly with the rooftop, the cold icy bite of the evening rain penetrated even it…better the rain than the Mandalorian’s bullets. Speaking of the devils…

Blundering fool…

The “Muscle” of their strike team appears to stumble, knocking down a holographic relay perched harmlessly in the corner…the captain’s passenger…the woman, extended her arm as though to catch the falling object despite her distance. But appeared to immediately think better of it. Her hand sliding to her hip once more, as though clutching some invisible weapon…that one was an enigma even to Rashik. He had an awful feeling she was keeping secrets from him…and he hated secrets.

Hell that was all the ship was lately. One big bundle of secrets…one atop the next until they all collapsed on some unwitting crewman.

Rashik visibly shakes his head, blinking once from inside his suit, the hologlass constantly measuring distances, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure to display in front of his eyes. To the inexperienced it would be a disaster…too much moving information. But to a man like Rashik…even one coming down a bad high…they were the tools of the trade. He rapidly finds the now alert Mandalorian guardsman, sights him, then aims towards the ceiling in a seemingly chaotic act of disregard….before squeezing the trigger.
The muzzle of his rifle, Annabelle, flashes red as a beam of scarlet death rockets forth. The Mandalorian barely reaches the door, his heavy blaster raised with the intent of opening fire on Rashik’s team…but as his right gauntlet closes around the durasteel handle, his left flies to his chest, where a now gaping hole was all that remained of his cardiac cavity.

“One down…do try not to wake all of the neighbors Mandalorian.” He snaps icily over the line, the hard edge of withdraws leaking into every tone. “You have two floors to go…keep it tight and we might just get out of here alive...” His voice cuts off as a new danger presents itself, his rifle once more flying into position his finger about to squeeze the trigge-.

“Don’t even think about it…” A deep voice booms on the roof, amplified by the helmet the Mandalorian was wearing. If he hadn’t been forced to fire, they may have never found the intruder perching on the side of the bio-dome. But with his intervention…

“The name is Dalai Ross. You have heard of me. Your head will decorate my wall if you mo-.” His voice turns into a blood gurgle as the prone figure executes a full body spin, utilizing his superior body length to his advantage as he rises, plunging his twin daggers into the warrior’s stomach even as he fires his twin pistols with abandon.

There would be no more stealth. “Over watch compromised! You are on your own Captain.” Rashik snaps over the comms, rapidly preparing his grappler for launch.

WHOOOSHHHHH CLINK!

The hook finds its mark, jerking its owner forward at break neck speeds even as guards swarm the building he had previously occupied.

How do I get in these messes…?

[Cassandra LeMay]

I've been thinking about this a while and I think I'll bow out (for now). While it would be convenient to revive one of my old characters for this game, it would also be me chasing nostalgia for a character I loved and a game I really enjoyed. That would run the risk of reviving the character just for the revivals sake, and I am not sure if that would be the best basis to enter this game right now.

In so far I will just follow what you guys do with this setting for a while and see if that can stirr up some fresh inspiration in me so I can jump in, should you need a crew replacement at some point.

Have fun, all, and may the Force be with you. :-)

[Florence]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

My copy of The Jedi Path arrived :D

So now I have both The Jedi Path and Book of Sith >8D

Also, sorry to see ya go, but... yeah, no point joining an rp if your muse isn't singing to ya.

EDIT: ALSO, so I have my character's history straight, this takes place roughly... 14 BBY?

[apygoos]

about there yes

[SGTDan]

I'm interested, if you'll have me

[MaiMizzu]

I'm interested, if you'll have me

Please keep in mind that the crew (for now) will be 6-8, so not everyone will get in. But we are taking applications still! So if you wanna try to be aboard, just go to the first post of this thread and fill out an app, and PM it to me!

[SGTDan]

How many apps do you have? Anyone bite on the Clone Commando yet?

[Orange Marmalade]

How many apps do you have? Anyone bite on the Clone Commando yet?

I sent one in but that doesn't mean you can't! :)

Or that theoretically there couldn't be a pair of clones who broke away during Order 66 and that scoundrel captain with a heart (hopefully!) offered them jobs if they were both accepted or something. A pair of 'twins' could be interesting to have on a ship!

Also mine is adaptable, so if they only wanted a single Clone the concept could be shifted slightly easily enough.

[SGTDan]

Fair enough, I have a concept as to why he failed to comply with the order. Although thinking of just a clone trooper, but I'll see as the idea develops.

[Florence]

I hope no one minds that I kind of have to... make a little stuff up, or rather embellish the timeline.

Unfortunate by product of Disney's canon changes. The question of just what the hell happens after the last time we Mandalore in Clone Wars probably will never be answered.

Well, I mean, I'm sure it will be, with a Mandalorian girl appearing in Rebels. But that will only apply to the NEW canon. So... yeah...

I'm just going to assume that the Mandalorians returned to their warrior roots, and some powerful warrior declared themself the new Mand'alor.

you mean Boba Fett? :P Arguably the more fearsome bounty hunter in the galaxy at this point, lol. The Fett Armor is Mandalorian make. Like you said its possible there are bounty hunters and warriors who returned to the root of Mand'alor, it just wouldn't be a big fanclub is all.

Well, Boba Fett doesn't become Mand'alor for a whiiiiile.

The problem is that there's really no information.

TCW Spoilers

Last we see of Mandalore in The Clone Wars, there's a big battle going on between the Super Commandos and the Nite Owls, and... that's it. We never find out how that battle even ends. I mean, I think the implication is that the Nite Owls are pretty heavily outgunned, so they probably lost... but... yeah. We never really find out who wins, what happens to Mandalore.

It seems pretty likely that the New Mandalorian movement is done for, and the Death Watch have basically succeeded in bringing militarism back to Mandalore, but we never find out to what extent that happens.

Thankfully there IS lore regarding what they're like during the time of this rp... but the immediate state of Mandalore after the events of The Clone Wars requires a little embellishment. Looking over the wiki I suppose we can infer that the Mandalorians return to their warrior culture (biggest problem with TCW and Mandalorians, it pretty much gives them a case of cultural bipolar disorder: WAR WAR WAR, PEACE PEACE PACE, WAR WAR WAR!), and... presumably scatter from the nice neat concentrated, organized government of the New Mandalorians, back into the clan based culture they had in the past. They presumably remain without a particular leader until Spar shows up and becomes Mandalore the Resurrector... then their history pretty much continues on as the wiki establishes, eventually the Mandalorian Protectors are formed, allied with the CIS,

After the war, the Empire proceeds to offer mercenary contracts to the Mandalorians (which Kiden presumably begins to take part in, as she's coming into adulthood just around this time), however, as tensions between the Empire and Mandalorians increase, Kiden finds herself double-crossed by the Empire who decide to pay her with blaster bolts instead of credits. She shoots her way out and is on the run when she meets up with the crew and signs up xD

I figure she'd have signed on... 1 or 2 years prior to the start of the rp perhaps?

EDIT:

I just realized this is totally Kiden's themesong 8D

If it makes you feel any better.

I'm still about... 75% sure Rebels will suck.

Plus, Rebels takes place in the lame new canon.

This rp takes place in the awesome old EU canon 8D

[Orange Marmalade]

It might suck but I'm still excited for it!

[Florence]

It might suck but I'm still excited for it!

I'm a little more excited about it now.

Before that trailer came out, I was about 90% sure it would suck, so that trailer made me a whole 15% more excited about it xD

[SGTDan]

Well hopefully I get an app in, my computer is in for repair currently.

I have a Clone and Jedi romance plot in my head.

[Florence]

Is anyone here a skilled enough photoshop wizard to white out some eyes for an Arkanian? xD

Well hopefully I get an app in, my computer is in for repair currently.

Also, that sucks D: what are you on now? A spare?

[SGTDan]

I've been on my phone for the past few days. My fingers hurt.

[MaiMizzu]

I know what you're thinking. Oh they stole the idea from Rebels! Well... no! They stole my idea! This thing has been brewing in my brain (in one form or another) for almost a year. Then Tacun said something.. and I'm like... what if we did a SW story!?

Besides, our RP will be much cooler than their show!  So get your apps in!

yes didnt you get it?

I'm an idiot. Yes, yes I did. I'm sorry, I got confused. Cause i'm dumb. heh

[TheLostCastor]

You received mine as well? :)

[MaiMizzu]

I did, yes

[Florence]

I just need to do the RP sample for mine... and then figure out what I'm gonna put for height and weight... seriously, I'm terrible at figuring what those should be >_>;

ALSO... I might need the help of anyone who has magical photoshop powers to blank out the eyes of a picture to make it look like an Arkanian xD If not... I'll find a way around it.

[MaiMizzu]

So i got my character image picked.. finally.. got a few more finishing touches. I'll be putting up an OOC here soon, tomorrow mebbe. I'm looking forward to getting your apps!

[TheLostCastor]

That is the hardest part! You want people envisioning a certain thing...bad picture, bad image, not going to be fun :/

[Florence]

Sorry mine's not been submitted yet. I did some image searching and I think I'll just link to an image I like. I'll leave a note about the eyes for now, and maybe get it photoshopped if its approved.

[Latooni Subota]

Just sent my mechanic in! I'm not too proud of it to be honest,but if I didn't push it out now, I'm sure I'd forget about it until it was too late. :x

I'll work on getting mine done after I've eaten dinner! :D

[apygoos]

[apygoos]

[Kyra tg]

Also would it be ok to play a droid? I know it bypasses relationship options but just curious.

Thanks in advance

[MaiMizzu]

Put in an application for whatever you wanna play! We'll decide if it's cool, and if it isn't, we'll work with you on the specifics. But please try to get the app in by tomorrow!

[Deamonbane]

Still accepting Applications? Been looking for a Freeform Star Wars RP for a while...

Also, would only one Jedi be available? If so, a budding Force Sensitive would be what I have in mind....

I know it sounds selfish.. but we didn't really want any more Force sensitive aboard. We have a Jedi and another character will be Force sensitive. Given that the Empire is hunting down and killing anyone who is Force Sensitive. Having those 2 alone would raise the chance of them being detected. One of the plot points is the lone Jedi trying to hide amongst this crew from the forces hunting her. If there's any other kind of character you want...please put in an application! Again, I don't want to sound selfish in this. But that's kind of how the story is set up. A group of people who have heard for the passed few years how evil the Jedi are and how they betrayed the Republic (history is written by the victors), and suddenly they have one amongst them.

[Deamonbane]

Hmmmm... That will force me to get creative. I am guessing that canon characters are also a no-no?

Either way, will be putting up an application for a pilot...

Canon are absolutely off limits. This is an original story we're putting together aboard the smuggler ship Ravenstar. The only confirmed characters are the Jedi and the captain. The others will be selected tomorrow night. The crew will have a total of 6-8. Plus a droid maybe MAYBE.

[Deamonbane]

This'll be the last question, promise... And sorry for sounding a bit dim here, but where do I send the application?

[apygoos]

PM it to MaiMizzu

Sorry sorry! Just PM it to me please!

[Deamonbane]

Cast my die, and hoping it's the right roll....

[Landshark]

Got my CS in last night. Hope it makes the cut.

[ManofDawnLight]

Me too.  If I'm put on the bench, I'll accept that, so long as there's potential for future gameplay.

[MaiMizzu]

Well I've made my choices! I think I have a fine crew here. Once the Captain is back, I'll go over the selections with him, and then i'll be letting the applicants know! Thank you all so much for your interest in our idea! And if you aren't chosen, I'm keeping your name and character info. So if there is ever an opening, you're on deck!

[MaiMizzu]

So we've made our choices for the RP. And the crew has all been contacted via PM. If you didn't get a PM from me for that, then you didn't make it this time. THIS time. But as I said, and I can't stress this enough, if any of our crew leaves the ship and we need a replacement or we decide to expand, then you'll be the first we contact. I'm keeping everyone's name in my files for it.

Thank you all for applying! I enjoyed reading all your applications! Thank you for your interest!

[MaiMizzu]

Hello!
So we have a couple openings on the crew of the Ravenstar! We're a Star Wars rp, of course. Set just 5 or so years after Order 66 was given. The crew is a group of smugglers and pirates. And a Jedi hiding amongst them, even without them knowing it. Yet. And now we have a couple crew openings! We're looking for a mechanic for the Ravenstar! We'd PREFER females, but that's not a deal breaker. If you're interested, check out the first post of this thread for the app and all. PM it to me when you got it finished! Thank you!

[Orange Marmalade]

Zero the Clone wouldn't say no to a male of the male-liking persuasion being onboard either! :)

[Ghostly]

Ooh- males of the male-liking persuasion are my specialty. ;)

[apygoos]

if you really would be interested in a story for the long haul [which we hope ends up lasting for years] then by all means make it, seeing as no female has stepped up.

[Ghostly]

I actually have a Nagai character who could easily fit the bill. On the surface he's an easy-going dreamer, but deep down he's very traditional and loyal.

From my understanding, the Nagai are basically space drow who were in conflict with the jedi a generation or two pre-purge. He was brought up very anti-jedi which could create some friction.

[apygoos]

hm, well while you has that out ,i wonder if others will attempt to app. while im not the gm for the game[even though im the captain]. im not sure an anti-jedi upbringing would be all that well for the game, i could be wrong, but w/e

[Ghostly]

He wouldn't be for the empire or anything. He's not against the jedi as individuals, he's just a little wary of the insitution

[MaiMizzu]

PLease by all means fill out an app and Send it to me!
