[Saga] Star Wars: Rebels with Style OOC

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Corulag - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki

That's the (sort of) long version.

Put simply, Corulag's a Core World, very near Coruscant and very much an Imperial-held planet. One of the biggest Imperial Academy's is in Curamelle, the capital city and where the PCs currently are. There's also a nearby Sienar Fleet Systems facility, but its uh...dangerously off limits to the public and outside of the city. There's a few good pictures of the city structure on the wookipedia page there, but the non-city parts of the planet are, I believe, thick, bamboo-like forests and oceans.

Its not really oppressive, since the people are generally very Imperial loyal, but its definitely not a happy place to be a Rebel.

Speaking of which, if Blackrat doesn't see this and pop in, I'm going to send him a quick message to work on getting Deurr quickly out of the situation he's been stuck with(being the only PC out there and probably lost as to what to do...) and back with the rest of you guys asap.

I'm here. And as you guessed, pretty at loss. .

Okay, concept is evolving. I have some questions.

1) It looks like you guys lost your Injury Treater, yes? Is this accurate?

2) If I take Force Sensitive, will I be allowed to train the Use The Force skill?

3) If I take Force Sensitive, will I be allowed to take Force Talents (the "generic" force talents, of course, not Jedi ones)?

4) What about Force Powers? (since these require a feat called Force Training, I have a feeling not, but I figured I'd ask )

Correct.

2) If I take Force Sensitive, will I be allowed to train the Use The Force skill?

It depends.

I am, admittedly, uncomfortable with a dedicated Force User of any kind in this game...at least right away. This is the Rebellion era after all. This isn't to say I'm against it entirely, just uncomfortable. I'll say right now, up front and honestly, that if there's a character fighting the Empire and using the Force, they are very, very likely to get noticed...and, well...you can take that to a conclusion on your own.

Now, that's not necessarily bad. In fact, it could provide interesting angles to take things in. BUT, I'm not sure I want that to overshadow the other players. Whether it would or not isn't something that could be answered right now, though.

I think it really comes down to the overall character concept. Is it conscious use of the Force? Is this person previously trained? Or is it just 'natural', happening without the character realizing it. Those strike me as very, very important questions to answer if there's a Force User involved.

3) If I take Force Sensitive, will I be allowed to take Force Talents (the "generic" force talents, of course, not Jedi ones)?

This probably gets the same answer as above.

4) What about Force Powers? (since these require a feat called Force Training, I have a feeling not, but I figured I'd ask )

...as well as this one...

Okay, some other thoughts. Force Talents and Powers wouldn't be out of the question entirely, and even actively training in the Force COULD be a possibility. BUT...BUT...this the Rebellion era. How would the person train? Who would train them? Its not just Jedi being hunted, its all Force Users. So it really does come down to scope. What, exactly, do you want this character to be able to do? Where do you see it going? I think I need a bit more on the details/background end of things to really give non-vague answers.

Though I'd also like to pose this to the rest of the group(all 3 of you, plus the 2 others that expressed interest if they're still around...). How do YOU guys feel about a Force User in the group? Though the details likely would make the answer more concrete for you guys, too, I figure its worth asking everyone.

And Blackrat, I figured as much. I plan to get in a new post tomorrow in the IC thread, and I'll try to push things so that we can get poor Deurr down to where Istara and Lia are as quickly as possible.

No problem for me. Though I am afraid of attracting wrong kind of attention to us.

How about them finding Deurr somewhere unconscious, with no memory what happened to the others?

 

[Shayuri]

Hee...yes, I suppose those questions were a bit ominous. Let me explain a bit where I'm coming from.

My thought is that this character is not trained externally. There may be some process of self-discovery, but probably not a whole lot to start with.

The force powers I'm most interested in are not big, obvious things like picking up X-wings and knocking crowds off their feet. They're senses and visions, and defenses and healing.

At first, the sense of the character is of someone who's ability is outstripping her capacity to control it. Afflicted with Force-induced visions of past, present and future, but unable to understand them or what they are. She may seem disturbed or mad.

In time, I'd like to see her master these things, but I agree...this is the Rebellion, and there wouldn't be any trainers. If this is something to be pursued, it's something that needs to be done with limits, and within a concept and theme.

I'm interested in things like Farseeing and Force Perception and Visions. In Equibrium and Transfer Health and maaaaybe Damage Reduction and/or Negate Energy. With permission, and if it's appropriate, perhaps the animal befriending powers from the Witches of Dathomir tree...

The reason I ask about training Use The Force is because if it's not trained, it becomes a lot less useful to have just about any Force Talent or Power, since almost all of them key off of it. It's not a complaint, mind. It just impacts how I build the character.

And if Force nuttiness is simply not appropriate for the game at all, I'm okay with that too. I can make a reg'lar old medical character.

Just let me know what y'all are comfortable with.

I was originally thinking just having him head to find the other two after his group got back to the apartment...

...but I like your idea. I really, really like your idea. Almost, too much. In fact, you shouldn't give me good ideas like that, because its dangerous. I might use them. I might twist them into horrible, horrible things.



Shayuri,

That's the kind of Force power stuff I'm perfectly fine with. Unless it specifically fit the character, I have to say no to the Dathomiri stuff, but the rest is fine by me. A little healing help, visions of kinds, and such can easily be worked with and I like the way you've explained things on that end.

Consider me tentatively okay with it and willing to see where it goes. When it comes to looking at advancement, the possibility COULD exist for some kind of training, but its not something to count on. It would obviously depend on a great many things, most of which just aren't in place yet and I won't set in stone until things get rolling strongly again.

Oh please do . I'm afraid the others might have met some horrible fate that Deurr barely escaped
