[OOC On] SW:Saga - War of the Star Forge
Posts
If this is post Episode III I would enjoy playing a Gungan demolitionist (soldier/scout).
A surly but lovable gungan, he was enlisted in the republic army as a demolitionist. I see him as an honest and trustworthy individual he has a hatred for the senator Jar Jar binks, and anyone in the empire.
This hatred stems from a relative paranoia that the rise of the empire was a plot long ago set in motion by the Naboo senator Jar Jar Binks. The empire he belives is a front for an evil corporation called black sun, also run by Jar Jar Binks.
He is a bit tall for a Gungan, and is an early adult.
Unlike most demolitionists (any I have played with anyway) he does not seek to blow everything up. He prefers to find the one weakness in a structure and exploit it. He is not what you would consider a pyro, or an explosives nut. He however will go overboard when needed, but never intentionally risking others.
Personaly I really like the Gungans as a race but despise Jar Jar Binks. Plus I am a huge fan of Dex.
If the game is going to be KOTOR, or far after the fall of the empire, I would like to a play a profesional soldier/commando who harden through years of being sent on suicide missions has come to believe the most ridiculous conspiracies about authorities. Kinda a what if kyle katarn didn't turn Jedi, but instead became a jaded tired soldier working on his own.

A reminder that if we go (a) it's not all Jedi-classed Sith. There were non-Force Sensitives and Force Sensitives of other classes within their Empire during that time. Keep in mind that the Jedi have some nice ways to fuck up Dark Side Jedi, taking a tactical approach rather than head-on to hunting them can prove more successful sometimes.
Those who know the KOTOR lore should know that the Sith Empire were not the True Sith.

or
In either case, I'd be playing a Human Noble. Human because as a vassal of the Empire you pretty much can't be anything else unless you're a spy or a hired gun, and in the second case Human because they're everywhere and it can make doing business a bit easier as you're a familiar face in any era in the majority of the galaxy.
In either case, I'd be playing a Noble because I like being the guy who is the "face" of the group and likes to talk when he can't fight, and if he has to fight making damn sure he has the upper hand before going in.
In the case of (a) I'd be playing a member of the military -- mechanically speaking this means building up to the Officer class with a dip into soldier here and there. In the case of (d) I'd be playing a vicious hoodlum who prefers to hire guns rather than use them -- mechanically speaking this means building up to the Crime Lord class with a dip of scoundrel here and there.
So... if you go with (a) or (d) and you'd have me in your game. I'd be able to post at least once a day, and give notice if I was gone for some reason.
But Force Sensitives within the Empire weren't ever grunts, and pretty much everyone who wasn't an Officer or a Force User was. Nobody really wants to play a Stormtrooper next to Darth-In-Training, I don't think.
Imho. >>
I'll try to decide what I'm going with today/tomorrow so people can work on some characters.
And since this is a PbP, there is no real time you have to post around, just that it has to be regular.

So true.
It was in the top preferences for most, and the vocal opponent to it was INNS who already has a lot on his plate. So <3 INNS but I think you'll sit this one out.

It's cool, have fun dudes <3<3
I won't kill you, but I'll get laughs out of making you think that 1NN5 might snap and kill you for trivial reasons.
"He hasn't been right since I tried to fix his wiring last week. So don't make any sudden moves, Krema. He hates that."
"Kid... you really don't want to imply he's anything like a Class 1 droid..."
Also:
I might buy this just because it will look so good sitting next to the core book.
That and you need at least two books for it to qualify as a "real system".

i would have guessed pilot + gunner/passenger, but ok epilepsy.
If no one wants to take Gamorrean that's cool. I kinda wanna see jdarksun running around with a voxbox and grunt-charade games.
Wookieepedia is your friend, having played the first KOTOR game is also helpful.
The characters can vary a good bit, since the campaign will likely focus on not just the Sith but also the minions involved. Czerka soldiers, mercenaries, Mandalorians, whatever can work so long as they have a reason to side with the Sith.

Sith does not equal Force Sensitive any more than being a Republic Soldier means you're a politician, it's the organization you're aligned with.

Will Sith Apprentice be openly available, or will we be using custom PrC's?

is there an "in list" yet?
Zevec Lorr, Human Noble (or maybe Scoundrel)
Czerka Corporation Military Technologies Representative
Though he is by all appearances and title an employee of the powerful Czerka Corporation, Zev's duties occasionally take him into a less public element of their enterprise... dealing with The Exchange. Primarily, this entails facilitating the distribution of illegal slugthrower weapons or assassin droids to the criminal underground. However, dealing with bounty hunters and other less conventional means of "securing market share" is necessary at times... as well as making sure all transactions are undoubtedly legitimate to third parties. Zev is well suited to this sort of work. His superiors like to say that he only lies when his mouth is moving.
"Many baseless accusations have been made against Czerka by our competition. The fact remains that the Czerka Corporation supplies the highest quality droids, vehicles, advanced weapons, and more. In addition, our outstanding business management practices have synergized with these products. The result? A prosperous and economically vibrant galaxy that has no shortage of cutting-edge equipment. It is no wonder that we are the exclusive supplier of military and civilian technologies to the glorious Sith Empire!"
If someone else was playing a droid or another Czerka guy, it would probably be easy to pair him up with this dude.
ok your company designed me, how do i work
There's a chassis seeing widespread use in the era.
And the only one that has a spot claimed is Horseshoe at the moment. Get those concepts posted.

For example it could be something like this: the repulsordroid might seem like a basic service droid, mostly designed for mechanics and programming... but actually it's very good at scouting, espionage, with a few weapons at its disposal as well as explosive charges for stealth emplacement. But the pamphlet says: "Czerka's finest repulsor-propelled maintenance droid! So convenient and cost effective in initial price as well as upkeep, you can't afford not to have one!"
In addition to Sith War-Droids, Czerka designed the HK series as well. Designed for protocol as well as a few... higher functions for advanced users.
