Strangely enough...I've got a PC from a previous game that would fit well with this. I just need to boost him from 5th to 6th level.
Can't you list starting credits, though, as I don't have the Heroes Guide.
Cydarius Rath, human male Fringer 2/Soldier 4
[sblock=Background & Appearance]
Cydarius was born on Nar Shadaa, his parents refugees from one of the many skirmishes that has battered the galaxy over the last several decades. Growing up in such an environment, it was inevitable that the young boy would begin to learn a wide variety of skills just to survive, and survive he did. By his mid-teen years, he had begun working for various criminal elements on the moon, mostly involved in petty thefts or racketeering.
By his twenty first year, Cydarius was in far over his head. Seeking to escape the moon and the enemies that he had made, the young man signed on to a smuggler’s ship as a space hand and hired gun. For several years he traveled the galaxy as part of the crew of the Star Raven, until a deal went south, and Captain Bol Sisk, leaving Cydarius behind on the world of Sullust. Cyd still harbors some angry feelings about being abandoned. Finding himself with no friends and little money, he had no choice but to seek work. His array of various skills and knowledge of combat eventually led him into contact with the Rebel Alliance, who saw his value as a combat specialist.
Cydarius stands about 1.8 meters in height, with an athletic, tone physique. Well-built, but not overly muscular, Cydarius is quick and graceful, possessing great agility and reflexes. He has a rugged, hard-lived life look to him, increased by the perpetual “five o’clock shadow” on his face. His eyes are the cold grey of stone, and he wears his black hair cropped close in typical military fashion. He generally dresses in a combat jumpsuit of black and grey coloration, and is never without a blaster of some sort.

Ankh-Morpork Guard said:I'm looking for a max of 4 players for a Rebellion Era SWd20 Revised game. I know the Saga rules have just come out but I need a couple of weeks to get it and then go over it enough to be comfortable trying it out...so if you'd rather try those out, I'd suggest waiting a few weeks as I'll get a Saga game going when I'm ready to.
Well, I'm waiting for a Saga game (which means I'm waiting for Amazon to ship my copy of the rulebook), and that's unfortunate given the setup for this one. Istara Kandorian (Waric's fiancee from the ill-fated starfighter squadron game a few years back; noble and deep cover rebellion operative) seems like she'd drop in just about perfectly...

Ankh-Morpork Guard said:Just to make sure...by 'old book' you mean the Revised version, yes? Saga's still a bit new so I can't bring myself to call the Revised rules old just yet.
Looks like a four or so are already interested, and we might nail a few more, but since stats can be important for character designs...here's some rolls for you to run through a concept: 10, 11, 12, 9, 15, 18.
Yeap, I meant the revised rules, old or not
I think I'll go for a human soldier. An alliance grunt sent to provide some firepower for the extraction team.
Oh Ankh, is there a prefered format for characters you'd like us to follow?

Oh man, I was sitting here reading this for like five minutes before I finally figured out why it seemed so familiar!
It's too bad I lost my character from that game.
I'm having a hell of a time thinking up a background.

I'm liking it.
As for credits for a 6th level character...10,000cr.

My first instinct is that a droid is probably not the best character for this kind of group. However, it would depend on the type of driod more than anything.

I don't have the Saga rules yet, either...though even if I did and had time to look over them, I think I'd start with a Revised game first since I'm getting back into the PbP thing after a couple years away(sorry about that, by the way. Cursed real life). And that does really seem like a good concept for this kind of thing.
If it means anything, once I DO have the Saga rules and feel ready to run a game, I can't say just yet what the premise will be. It may very well be a Rebellion Era game. Found that its this classic stuff that's really what's drawn me back in more than anything else.

Had a sheet of sorts modified for Star Wars years ago but its gotten lost it seems and its not a huge thing. So, no, no format or anything. Just needs to be readable and if there's any info on it I need that isn't listed I'll mention so.

If it helps, I have to say I like the doctor idea. You don't see that too terribly much in Star Wars games...but from what I've seen, the times I've run games with doctor types, they're usually some of the most interested characters in the group.
And on a seperate note...part of me is considering expanding this to more than just 4 PCs...but, at this point, just considering it. Will end up with a final decision on that when we've got a few more solid concepts down.

I actually meant I'm having trouble coming up with a background for my doctor. I'm having another one of my mind blanks where I can't think of a single creative idea, good or bad. It really sucks. Maybe I need to stare at some wookiepedia pages or something.

This game looks so cool-unfortunately, I just picked up the Saga Book and my mind (one tracked as it is) is too focused on grocking those rules to get very interested in making a Revised Character. When you do your Saga game, let me know!
