Message: <blockquote data-quote="James Heard" data-source="post: 3815681" data-attributes="member: 7280">I was thinking initially that a force user would have one of a couple of flavors, depending on what sort of direction the rest of the party went.If the rest of the group is a more or less gung ho, "Die Rebel Scum!" sort of Imperial pro-jingo patriots then I think that just knocking out some sort of Sith apprentice and going with it would appear to work. Not necessarily known by others to be anything resembling Force user, he'd be a "personal attache to Lord Vader" or some sort of other nonsense. And he'd be evil - kill the rest of the garrison to advance himself evil. "I killed the child because he was weak" evil, like Vader is in episode 4 to strangle some random person because they brought him bad news.If, on the other hand, the group, could be construed as possibly more in the "It's a job. It's an adventure. It's a lot of boring paperwork and Tattoine is a miserable place I can't wait to muster away from," variety then a Force user could either be a "failed" Jedi/Sith ("A long time ago I had a crazy uncle. Tried to tell me all sorts of nonsense about something called 'the Force?' Gave me nightmares for a long time, let me tell you. Me? Nah, I'm just...focused.") or a near human following his/her "quaint ethnic religious beliefs" and stuck on Tattoine because of the racist policies of the Empire. I hadn't thought about the possibility of a Force user intentionally created by the Empire. That would seem to me to point toward the character being a member of the Imperial Intelligence community I think, if for no other reason that his/her own existence might be "classified." Not a Sith apprentice in that case, but maybe a secret program by the military exploring potential advantages in "training techniques" that even the Emperor doesn't know about - or reveal knowledge of. I suppose there's also the possibility of a Force user being created unintentionally by the Empire too...maybe as unintentionally as "sure, you can keep that crazy artifact, just don't cut yourself with it" and the weird "Force vibes" coming off a lightsaber doing something weird. In that case I suppose that he'd be... in a weird place, rules wise.I'm up for comments and suggestions. I'd really rather build a character to fit well and work well (or at least interestingly) with the rest of the group than anything else. I want to play a Force user in Saga rules, I can adapt the background appropriately to the tone of the rest of the game.</blockquote>
