[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7039185, member: 20323"] Awesome. I'll start with giving my feedback on your characters with Arsinoe :) Good character background hooks! 1. Who do you see as being the one who betrayed Arsinoe to the Hutts? Her father? Her older brother? Or her husband (older brother's best friend)? If it was her husband, then is her father and/or older brother looking for her? Is she trying to avoid being found by them because she feels betrayed? 2. [B]Tons[/B] of opportunities for other PC connections here: [list][*]A prospective suitors who was turned down. [*]Someone who has worked for (or is indebted to) the Hutt who still wants his "tiny dancer." [*]Pirate who attacked the ship Arsinoe was being transported on and left her marooned. [*]Resistance pilot who picked her up off the lonely planet.[/list] 3. Looking at the route from Corellia to Hutt Space, I'm thinking Arsinoe was taken along the Corellian Run and was to be taken along the Death Wind Corridor used by slave/stim smugglers bound for Hutt Space. The ship may have crashed on Tatooine or a similar planet in that region of space. OR the crippled ship may have attempted have attempted a hyperspace jump that was botched, crash landing on the forest planet Kabal where the game begins. I'll leave that detail up to you! 4. Either way, Arsinoe found her way to [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kabal]Kabal[/url], a rough-and-tumble trading planet in the opposite direction from Hutt Space. What do you imagine she's been doing there? (I'll add details on Kabal to my OP soon). 5. What is Arsinoe's attitude toward the Resistance? She possibly was rescued by Resistance pilots from a lonely planet. Did she reject joining because of her own beliefs or uncertainty or mistrust? Was she eager to join but the Resistance didn't trust her due to her background? Is she currently on a Resistance mission or just getting by? 6. Do you have info. on Distracting Behavior you can share with me? Since I don't have Far Horizons, I have no way to discern whether it's a balanced talent or not. 7. There's a strong sexual exploitation vibe to Arsinoe's story. Is that something you'd like to play up or play down? If you feel it's an important aspect of the character to play up (e.g. by taking an Obligation to the Hutt), we'll need to pow-wow as a group about how mature/dark we want this game to be. I am very flexible, but I want to make sure everyone is on board. 8. Do you already have a trajectory for Arsinoe's character development/arc in mind? From victim towards something else? Or is that something you entirely want to discover during play? 9. What would you describe as Arsinoe's "party role"? Not that it's totally necessary to make that super-defined in FFG Star Wars, but I'm curious. Her skills/abilities suggest she is a bit of a "face"? 10. In regards to starting Obligation...I am OK with you going up to 20, and I think that higher Obligations make sense for Arsinoe. I am hesitant about boosting the XP bonus beyond what I've already outlined, so you could start with the bonus credits for +10 Obligation and bonus XP for +10 Obligation (netting 20 Obligation)...or if starting with the extra credits don't fit your character concept, feel free to pitch another idea to me. :) 11.
