Here is a Ghtroc 720 Series Freighter. This particular model has the advantage that it has floor plans and stuff out there, readily available.

Here's a picture of a Devaronian (my character). EN World won't let me add attachments to old posts for some reason.

Devaronian is a cool choice! At some point we'll put up a Rogue's Gallery thread where all of this info can be consolidated. I'm also considering an Obsidian Portal page like I have set up for my home campaign.

I have floor plans for the Ghtroc. I'll try and put those up some time as well.

Looks really good, Insight! Thanks!

Insight, did you change to the advanced editor when editing the old post?

Otherwise you won't get the options for attachments.

Bye

It won't load. Hence my problem. I click it and it does nothing.

 

[d2OKC]

Thanee, have you decided anything about your character yet? I'm not super worried about their statistics just yet, but species, gender, personality, anything like that?

possum, what have you come up with so far?

Sorry if I seem a bit impatient. I'm pretty excited about this game, you guys

 

[Thanee]

Hmm... how about this (the picture is from the SWTOR trailer, depicting Shae Vizla; of course, I would just use the image )?

Bye
Thanee

 

[d2OKC]

Yeah, that's OK with me!

I don't need a lot of background on your characters, just a paragraph or two. I reckon this is the beginning of their story, so there's not a lot of necessary background on any of them anyway, yet. That's kind of the point of the game, right?

All I really want from you guys, other than the stats, is a paragraph about their history (where they are from, why they got into the business they are in), a paragraph explaining their personality, and then perhaps another paragraph explaining a goal they have that they want to accomplish. Nothing real detailed, just enough to get us started, once we've got it all together.

Thanks, guys. This is shaping up well so far!

Devan was born on Brentaal a few years after the battle of Naboo, and lived there for the majority of his youth. The Clone Wars, however, forced the family to flee the planet and move to nearby Chandrila, a planet that young Devan found uncomfortable. Ten years later, Devan left the planet and fell into a wrong crowd as his parents would say. Devan? He'd say that he found out who his friends really should be.

Since joining several smuggling crews on jobs both legal and--let's just say--a little shady, Devan's been moving from ship to ship trying to find a crew that won't end up kicking him out of the airlock before they lift off. Not that that's ever happened before...[/sblock]

Looks great to me, possum!

Here's kind of what I had in mind for your employer and "homeworld". Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Thessp
Terrestrial World, mostly jungle or desert with small polar caps
Largest city/spaceport: Novak's Landing
Population of World: 12 billion

Thessp was colonized early by the Duros. There are no native sentient species on Thessp, but it has an extremely lush flora and fauna. The planet is mostly known for its population of large reptiles of all shapes and sizes. Over the centuries, the Duros have made it a busy trading hub, due to its presence along the Rimma Trade Route. It has four major spaceports and many other smaller cities and settlements all over the planet. There are many precious gems that can be mined from its mountains as well, which may have influenced the Duros' choice of colonizing the planet.

The largest spaceport, Novak's Landing, happens to be one of the largest spaceports along the entire trade route. It boasts a popluation of nearly 100 million people of all species. It is an extremely easy city to get lost in, if one is looking to do so. Because of this, it also has an extremely active criminal underground, though it has never been fully taken over by a single crime lord. Currently, the most powerful of these lords is the Duros known as Oro Rend. He runs an extremely efficient arms and spice running service. Unfortunately, he also has well-known Rebellion sympathies, which have made him a target of both his rival crime lords and the Empire, specifically the local Imperial Governer Tarl Andross.

Rend is loyal to his employees, if they do their job and pay their debts on time, and protects them from their enemies if he can. His second-in-command is his major domo, an Advosze named Maeko Blite. Blite is the taskmaster of the organization, and it falls to him to collect money from those who have fallen into arrears. Blite does not rely on pure, brute force, however. He has a way with words that, despite his gruff exterior, means he is good at getting people to do what he wants. Sometimes through flattery, sometimes through intimidation, but he is extremely effective.
