kitana,
i was curious... and i think it's been mentioned breifly before, but are we going to be playing in both timelines? if so, will we be characters from both timelines, or the same character aged between the two timelines(i realuze that much time has passed, but obviously some races have longer lifespans that others).
i think my character would depend on which timeline i was playing, but if i were playing post-rotj, i would like to be playing more of a neutral character.
i'm thinking about a force-sensitive ex-imperial. basically, he was in the imperial academy and was shown to have force-capabilities, and was drafted into a special program used to train force-sensitive soldiers for the emporer. somehow, he became aware of what he was being trained for, and didn't like it, breaking away from the group. he isn't necessarily sold on the rebellion, but he likes it better than the imperials. mostly, he's looking for luke skywalker, and any other jedi who may have survived vader and the emporer's slaughter of the jedi.
however, with him being a younger character, he obviously wouldn't have been around during the first timeline...

1. d20 starwars
2. in this first part there is no such thing as rebel/imperial/neutral...so don't bother with that
3. Correct - none of your characters are super important people at all when you start. Nobody is significant - just every day common people. Basically - like how Luke and Han + Chewy started off. (Not like Leia).
4. There is a new species called the Epronians. If you want to play one, you'll have to run that by me. In case it isn't obvious, their ruling family plays a large part in the storyline. They're very human-like but not quite human, though nobody (other than the Epronians) knows quite why yet. The Epronians are very militaristic and all of them are Force Sensitive to varying degrees. I am instituting a stiff leveling penalty because they are so strong a species. They also live for a few hundred years so you have the possibility of being in the second half.
5. Barry, I believe expressed an interest in playing a vapid royal degenerate, so I was thinking of sticking you in as an insignficant younger cousin so far removed from the line of succession, nearly half the family would have to die before you had a chance to become the V'ron. How does that sound?
6. As regards to Jedi - I won't allow a ton of Jedi or Force Adepts in this game so unless you come up with a really cool concept, there is only going to be one Jedi - and that is the one whose concept I like the best. Epronians cannot be Jedi.
7. There has been alot of interest so I'm going to implement an application system. I will post how to apply for the remaining positions tonight.
8. I'm thinking of maybe running the first and last half concurrently and not allow people to be in both. Or I can allow people in as extras from time to time - episode like.

well
Unless you're Epronian or a young wookie or a very young child, you'll be dead by the second half. Or any other long lived race. So the same characters in the second half won't fly. To shake it up a bit, I'll probably put new people in place also. So if you don't play in the first half, you can still be in the second half.
I will allow the Jedi to have a padawan learner.
I also decided to make this episodic so we can have guest PC's who pop in at different times when the main characters are at certain places - sort of like how Lando is. I do know that with a story of this intricate detail I can't handle more than six people maximum. (I don't even know if 6 might be too much) but I like the idea of mixing it up with different players to spice things.

Catulle said:Sounds right down my street. Desperate times calling for desperate measures and all.In any event, I'll get prettying up on the personality/sketchy background write-up.
Regards,
Barry
ok I'll send you more information on the Epronian culture and the ruling line probably later on tonight when I have time to work more on the write up. There is alot of back history that your character should be familiar with.

Actually
I just realized no one can start off as a Jedi - only as a padawan learner. Starting level for this game will be at level 3.

Batulle gets a *whap* 
stop spilling my secrets
Anyway...I'm thinking Batulle's dude has a reasonable friendship with the children (heirs) of the current V'ron - probably about the same age.
As for the only padawan -- Keia, how do you feel about playing a 10 year old?
EDIT:
Actually somewhere between 10 and 15 is good.
