Corporate Defiance (OOC Thread) -- CLOSED

Yeah, using sblock will work fine.

I screwed up on your attacks and defense, though. Somehow, I got confused and thought the 16 was in Dex rather than Con. I edited my previous post to reflect the changes.

Armor won't enhance your defense: in Star Wars, it provides damage reduction instead. Something to keep in mind.

oh. *notes*

that provides some interesting mechanic ideas..... and it means that my guy can own even strong guys. :D

Are we going to use the 'supressing fire' mechanic?
 

I suppose we can give it a try and see how it works out. I almost couldn't find it at first, until I checked the Hero's Guide and found it there. I don't see any problems with using the mechanic, though.
 

Hm, can I have some sort of case for my firelance that I can just strap to my back? :heh:

Hey Rhun, I think you should read Vincent's history. We might be able to work out some sort of connection between our two characters.

[sblock=Vincent: Descrition and History]Vincent has average length black hair that he keeps slicked back, and pale green-gray eyes that seem to be unusually shifty at times. He has a short goatee that he often fiddles with when bored. He wears dark, close fitting clothing and a jacket with a number of pockets and straps, for holding various items.

Vincent came to Darkness ten years ago from Nar’Shadda where he had been part of a small time gang. The gang had offended the Hutts in some way, Vincent wasn’t sure how, but he realized that he’d better get out of there, and thanks to his skills in not being found he was able to.

On Darkness he found an atmosphere that was somehow worse than that of the pirate moon. Still, at least here no one was after him personally. He got to work burgling and selling information. He’s not quite sure how it is that Sector’s attention was drawn to him. Perhaps he stole from the wrong person, or learned something he shouldn’t have, but in any case they came. He evaded them for over a week, but eventually they caught up, they were however so impressed with him that they gave him a choice between death, and working for Sector. Not particularly wanting to die, and figuring that this group might be quite interesting to work for, he chose the latter option.

While Vincent enjoyed the opportunities to test his abilities that working for Sector provided, he did not much appreciate the MarTech Corporation which employed them. And a little over two year after joining he was given yet another reason to despise MarTech.

It was about seven years ago that MarTech decided that they no longer needed Sector. Though he had heard tell that something like this might happen he had had no way of knowing when exactly it would occur, and unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, it happened while he was on a mission. His group was supposed to retrieve some important data from a high security archive and while the infiltration was successful the escape was another matter entirely. There had been an ambush at the drop site and Ralshoor the Wookie single stayed behind to give the other three a chance to escape, however it was clear that he would soon be felled. Teega suggested that they create a blockade by collapsing an abandoned building on the heads of the pursuing MarTech forces; unfortunately they underestimated the speed of the enemy and were unable escape the building before they arrived. The Duro stayed behind to misdirect the enemy while the others escaped and collapsed the building on his own head. Now only the two humans remained; Vincent, and the team’s leader, Lirra Ordan. They soon realized that MarTech forces had formed a perimeter around their location and was quickly closing in, in was only a matter of time before even Vincent would be unable to hide. With this in mind Lirra decided that there was only one way that any of them would survive and get their objective to Sector. She attacked the enemy perimeter alone to cause enough of a diversion for Vincent to slip through.

Over the last seven years Vincent has continued to work with Sector, driven mostly by his intense hatred of the MarTech Corporation. Ever since his last group all went MIA (presumed dead) he was rather reluctant to take on another and has insisted that he works alone though from time to time he will “work with” a group when ordered to. He has always attempted to remain distant and unattached and avoids working with the same group more than once if he can help it. Despite this, he has maintained some connections within the underworld and various areas of the city to assist with his primary duty of information gathering.[/sblock]
 

Ok, I made the recommend changes and added a background and character description. Everyone please look over the crunch and let me know where the improvements can be.

Something I've noticed: maybe I didn't make it clear enough in the write-up, in which case I'll try and edit it to reflect the changes. But just so everyone's aware when coming up with their backgrounds:

The current time is about the same time as the Battle of Yavin: in effect, Sector has been underground for nearly twenty years, since the end of the Myuni Wars (just before the Clone Wars between the Old Republic and Separatists). More than likely, Sector was watching you from afar, tested you in their own way, and then slowly brought you into the fold.
 

Well the timeline of my current history is based on this line.

"Seven years ago, MarTech outlawed any and all travel off-planet, citing the ever-increasing pollution as the major contributing factor towards the apparent decision to cut itself off from galactic society as a whole. At the same time, MarTech began a systematic crackdown on several of the major factions on the surface."

Hey Bloodweaver, I'm not sure if this was a typo or what but your character history says she was born on her father's freighter while he was doing the Kessel Run, now that kind of implies that her mother was on the ship as well. Which implies that he was not ther father type to leave his pregnant wife at home alone even when she was pregnant or that her mother was not the type to stay at home alone even when she was pregnant. In any case, what about her mom?

Wait, so did MarTech seize control of the space port 7 years ago, or 20 years ago...I can change my history, but I need to know that part.
 

Man, I did make that confusing, didn't I? *sheeps*

About twenty years ago, the Myuni Wars occurred -- this is what led to Sector going underground and MarTech making their move to become the dominant power on Darkness. Seven years ago was when MarTech shut down the spaceport on Darkness entirely and blocked all traffic off-world.

I'll straighten that out real quick in the OP. My fault, gang, for making that so confusing.

Edit: Made some changes to the history portion. Added a basic timeline of events to help clarify the history portion further.

I made a second dreft of my history that cleans things up a bit along with putting it in line with the correct timeline.

[sblock=History]Vincent came to Darkness ten years ago from Nar’Shadda where he had been part of a small time gang. The gang had offended the Hutts in some way, Vincent wasn’t sure how, but he realized that he’d better get out of there, and thanks to his skills in evasion he was one of the few that were able to.

On Darkness he found an atmosphere that was somehow worse than that of the pirate moon. Still, at least here no one was after him personally. He got to work burgling and selling information. He’s not quite sure how it is that Sector’s attention was drawn to him. Perhaps he stole from the wrong person, or learned something he shouldn’t have, but in any case they came. He evaded them for over a week, but eventually they caught up, they were however so impressed with him that they gave him a choice between death, and working for Sector. Not particularly wanting to die, and figuring that this group might be quite interesting to work for, he chose the latter option.

It was about seven years ago that MarTech decided to shut down all contact with the galaxy outside. His group was supposed to retrieve some important data from a heavily guarded MarTech archive and while the infiltration was successful the escape was another matter entirely. It seems now like a cruel twist of luck, or fate that they arrived at the spaceport when they did. They were supposed to drop off the package there, but arrived just moments before MarTech forces closed in on it. They were trapped it a firefight and Ralshoor the Wookie stayed behind to give the other three a chance to escape, however it was clear that he would soon be felled. Teega suggested that they create a blockade by collapsing an abandoned building on the heads of the pursuing MarTech forces; unfortunately they underestimated the speed of the enemy and were unable escape the building before they arrived. The Duro stayed behind to misdirect the enemy while the others escaped and collapsed the building on his own head. Now only the two humans remained; Vincent, and the team’s leader, Lirra Ordan. They soon realized that MarTech forces had formed a perimeter around their location and were quickly closing in, in was only a matter of time before even Vincent would be unable to hide. With this in mind Lirra decided that there was only one way that any of them would survive and get their objective to Sector. She attacked the enemy perimeter alone to cause enough of a diversion for Vincent to slip through.

Over the last seven years Vincent has continued to work with Sector, driven mostly by his intense hatred of the MarTech Corporation. Ever since the quarantine which resulted in the loss of his former team-mates he has been reluctant to work with other agents for more than a short amount of time. He remains distant and unattached and avoids working with the same group more than once if he can help it. He has maintained some connections within the underworld and various areas of the city to assist with his primary duty of information gathering.[/sblock]

By the way, is there anyone besides MarTech that enforces the arms restrictioins? It seems like it'd be hard to keep my rifle out of sight all the time unless I have some way to hide it. I don't have much sleight of hand since my main skill is in not being seen at all.
