A New Power - OOC

Here is the beginning of my character's background:

Adrial Strogg was born on Varonet. It was where she spent the first six years of her life. Her mother, Galell, was a medical employee at a local hospital. Her father, Moogen, and his brother, Nuzeem, worked at the spaceport. Her father was a pilot and her uncle a mechanic. Things were going well until the separatists began their occupation. Things became very difficult for her parents and uncle, but little Adrial was too young to really remember much of the occupation.

“Oh to be young again like you little one.” Nuzeem lifted the little girl up into the air.

“You funny Uncee Nuzz.” Adrial was having fun, as always, with her uncle. “Do again!”

“Supper is just about ready you two.” Galell called from the kitchen. “And your dad should be home soon.”

“Daddy!” The little girl was ecstatic with delight. “He bring me something?”

Her mother looked at her and shook her head. “Not this time, sweetie. Things are different with the occupation...”

Adrial’s face scrunched into a quizzical look. “What is oc-pa-shun?”

But then came the liberation from the separatists. Although it was needed, it did not come without a price. Adrial's father was killed in a starship collision and her home world was decimated. Her mother and uncle made plans to leave their world for a better life. The three had found spots on a ship bound for Endor. Her mother and uncle were going to be miners for a while.

Galell smiled at her daughter. “Now this is only going to be temporary. After Uncle Nuzeem and I have worked for a while, then we will move on to a better place.”

Adrial looked at her mother with a questioning face. “Will there be other children there for me to play with.”

Nuzeem picked up his niece. “Of course. Plenty of kids to play with.” He gets a mischievous air about himself. “Maybe we can find you a nice boyfriend.”

The girl giggles. “Oh Uncle Nuzz. You know I’m too young for boys. Dad always says…” She gets a distant look and then starts sobbing.

Galell gives Nuzeem one of those looks and he starts trying to comfort her.

She never had traveled off-world before, let alone gone through hyperspace. It was all new to the young girl. During the time in hyperspace, Nuzeem tried to entertain Adrial as much as he could. Luckily she fell asleep fairly quickly and slept for most of the trip. Her uncle found it only mildly odd that she awoke mere moments before the ship came out of hyperspace. But then came the speaking from the cockpit.

"Wait a minute...this isn't right." The pilot said.

Adrial got a distant look and then turned to her uncle. “The ship is in trouble.”

Galell moves over to her daughter. “Why do you say that?”

“I do not know, mother.” She turns to her mother. “I just have a feeling.”

The ship is a whirlwind of activity as whispers run throughout of a computer problem. Then something about an asteroid, but that it was somehow diverted. But what was that scraping sound? Then talk of trying to land. More talk about getting through asteroids. Something about Jedi. That was a word that Adrial had heard in the past but she didn’t know what it meant. Soon there was more talk about landing and getting ready for a rough landing…

According to my timeline (just working by the Era lengths in the core book)

Year Events
0 Crashlanding.
2 New Republic Crumbles, Empire arises.
24 Beginning of Rebellion
29 Formation of the New Republic, Present Day

So, enough systems have been liberated that the New Republic has been formed, and the Empire is on the decline. The empire has not yet fallen, but it is more or less inevitable. The Outer and mid rims are in New Republic control

Wish I could give you more clarification, but I'm not an expert in SW lore and don't have an official timeline with me. Even so, this isn't going to follow strict SW chronology, but if one of you could supply me with a timeline, I could make it easier on you.

I'm having a hell of a time accessing ENWorld, so I may seem a little random in my posting.
 

Ah, nice intro, Tailspinner. Would you like that worked into the story hour, or just keep it here as your introduction to the rest of us?

EDIT: Attached. Its a little outdated with new novels and such, but it gives you the gist of things. Sadly, there's not really any good official timelines that aren't novel based except for a couple full books worth.

Alright, so the crashlanding was at the very beginning of the Clone Wars(which lasted two years, ending in the Empire's formation)? Just trying to gauge how long its been so I can figure out all where my character is now.

If 0 = First year of Clone Wars, then that works. :)

That would actually place this game about around the time that Thrawn popped up. Not that I'm worrying about canon or anything, just judging by the 'official' of how long after Endor it is.

I'll scan the official timeline that's in the NJO books and attach it in a bit, for you. :)

Wow, missed a lot while I was at school today!

Uh, so, I think we've got a bit of a mix-up. You see, by my estimates, Kor-Gon was born about five years before the clone wars started, and therefore about twenty-five years before the battle of yavin...and therefore about 30 years before the battle of endor...

Basically, my intention for him to be in his early 30s, with his first level in Soldier, then Jedi Guardian after that, because of the training he got during the rebellion era, at the hidden school mentioned in his backstory...

So, I'm not exactly sure how I should continue.
 

The clone wars only lasted Two years? (Thought it was Ten) Umm....hmmm...while I hadn't counted on that, it shouldn't mean any changes. Although I had imagined that scene with Arias, Miera, Tabano, and Obi-Wan to be soon after the outbreak of the war, the SH was conveniently written so that this could have been a few years earlier. So it all works out in the end. Tada! :D

So to answer your question, this is about 3 years after the Battle of Endor.

The only thing I know of Thrawn is his appearance in Tie Fighter, the flight-sim of awesomeness. (I never read the books. SURPRISE! :D ) For all intents and purposes, consider everything Canon after this point to be nil (though I may draw on it a bit, just altered). Consider this to be a 'What if?' situation.

Just change your age. :D I think we've run into the same problem of thinking the Clone wars were longer than they were written to be. This shoudln't be too much of a problem to fix, though.
 


Ok, I, for the life of me, can't find the starting wealth. Anybody care to tell me either how many credits I should have worth of gear, or else what page I can look it up, in which book?
 

Well, you are a 4th Level Jedi Gaurdian, but you only get the cash of a second Level Gaurdian to make up for the higher level. you should have 2000 credits from what Angcuru said before.
