Star Wars Iconic Characters: Off-stage.

[Pbartender]

Yeah... We all talked about the whole age thing already in this thread. Check around pages 3 & 4. I believe we all agreed that Uncle George has a thing for young'uns.

I understand the first 2, not so clear on the third one, what is this United States thing?

If anyone who understands my meaning on point #3 can explain it without breaking our PG rating, I'll give them a bonus Force Point.

Are you talking about the legal age to appear in certain movies of the less clothed and highly excitable persuasion? The age that none of us are at the moment?

 

[Vor'en Kurn]

I maintain that I'm ignorant of music, but I have the liner notes right here, so from Moxy Fruvous's Video Bargainville:

Perhaps it's something you can watch with friends, or something that inevitably lends
Itself to shapely curves and bends of exploited women and their friends.

Thanks for clearing that up, Sia, I was a bit confused myself.

That sums it up quite succinctly.

To put it another way, it is that age which, once you surpass it, others who have surpassed that age can perform certain acts, if you give them explicit permission, upon you legally and without the consequences of a public trial, fines, incarceration and having their name put onto a certain Federal listing.

Does this mean I get a bonus force point

It'll be added to your next paycheck.

Arani returns to her room, and puts on a simple white nightgown - the sort of nightgown the heroine wears in cheesy old holofilms just before the Anzati nobleman creeps up behind her and enchants her with his hypnotic powers. Still, Arani is confident that the room is reasonably free of Anzati, so she opens a window and looks out over the city.

Have you ever read the Tales From the Mos Eisley Cantina?

There's a real weird story about Dannik Jericho the Anzati in there...

Mmmmm...
Soup.
Drink the Soup.

Kind of creepy.

"Anyway, there have been marriages before but they're just not common. And there are plenty of children here and there. Even some of the great Jedi masters on the council have families, some even multiple spouses."

Yup... If I'm not mistaken, Jedi council member Ki Adi-Mundi has several wives and children back on Cerea.


By the way, any time you guys are ready to move on... Just go to bed.

More Songs...

Well, now Dorn has a song in his heart. It's a straight-forward, simple, repetative song, but a song nonetheless...

What I Like About You, Michael Morales

Hey! Uh huh huh!
Hey! Uh huh huh!

What I like about you!
You hold me tight!
Tell me I'm the only one,
Wanna' come over tonight, yeah!

Keep on whispering in my ear!
Tell me all the things that I wanna hear!
'Cause it's true!
[That's what I like!]
That's what I like about you!
[That's what I like!]

What I like about you!
You really know how to dance!
When you go up, down, jump around,
Think about true romance, yeah!

Keep on whispering in my ear!
Tell me all the things that I wanna hear!

Hey! Uh huh huh! Hey, hey, hey!
Hey! Uh huh huh! Brrrrrr!
Hey! Uh huh huh! Hey!

You might think it'd be easy to find some arse-kicking martial arts song for Vor'en. But there's a lot more behind that hard-boiled, armor-plated exterior than he lets on.

Eye of the Tiger, Jim Peterik/Frankie Sullivan

Risin' up, back on the street.
Did my time, took my chances.
Went the distance,
Now I'm back on my feet.
Just a man and his will to survive.

So many times, it happens too fast.
You trade you passion for glory.
Don't lose your grip
On the dreams of the past.
You must fight just to keep them alive.

It's the eye of the tiger!
It's the thrill of the fight!
Rising up to the challenge of our rival,
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night,
And he's watching us all with the eye...
Of the tiger.

Face to face, out in the heat.
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry.
They stack the odds,
Still we take to the street,
For the kill, with the skill to survive.

It's the eye of the tiger!
It's the thrill of the fight!
Rising up to the challenge of our rival,
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night,
And he's watching us all with the eye...
Of the tiger.

Risin' up, straight to the top.
Had the guts, got the glory.
Went the distance,
Now I'm not gonna stop.
Just a man and his will to survive.

It's the eye of the tiger!
It's the thrill of the fight!
Rising up to the challenge of our rival,
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night,
And he's watching us all with the eye...
Of the tiger.

Now, whether or not it has been bourne out in-game, I'd always seen Rorworr and Kelko as a near unseperable pair. They always seemed the sort to be hanging out together building hotrods out of junkers and loose parts in their spare time after school (ala the T-Birds in "Grease"). Then dragracing the contraptions across the plains outside of Theed until the cops came to (futily try to) slow them down, or the hotrods fell apart. I'd thought that they had probably gotten into as much trouble anyone else. Only, it was just a faster, louder, more rambunctious sort of trouble than the conspiratorial pranks and practical joke of Arani and Deel.

It's a short song, and they have to share it, but I hope Rory and Kelko won't feel short-changed.

Good Old Boys, Waylon Jennings

Just two good old boys.
Never meanin' no harm.
Beats all you never saw,
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born.

Straightnin' the curves.
Flattenin' the hills.
Someday the mountain might get 'em,
But the law never will.

Makin' their way
The only way they know how!
That's just a little bit more
Than the law will allow.

Just two good ol' boys.
Wouldn't change if they could.
Fightin' the system like
Two modern-day Robin Hoods.

Yee-hah!

Have you ever read the Tales From the Mos Eisley Cantina?

I am shockingly ignorant of all things Star Wars - really everything I know comes from either the films or game books.

By the way, any time you guys are ready to move on... Just go to bed.

I've been trying! If anyone wants/needs to talk to Arani, she's standing at the window silhouetted against the moonlight. otherwise, consider her in bed.

Don't worry about it too much. You guys are doing great. The game is moving along at a fine pace, and we've just had 430 posts worth of character development, and we haven't even really gotten to the adventure itself yet.

Speaking of which, you guys are doing such a great job of roleplaying, that I think you all deserve to gain a level.

I'm revamping the character stat page anyway... There'll be information on Tapani Sector, supporting cast that you've met, a new Starship, new vehicles, new equipment and a new sidekick! Most of which will be introduced as soon as you meet Deel in the morning.

So, everyone goes up to 4th level. I don't yet see any good reason for anyone to multiclass, so let's stick with your Iconic classes, please. Please post which ability you are increasing, which skills you are spending skill points on, and which bonus feat or special ability you will be taking (where applicable). Your 4th level stats will take effect once you reach Vycinyth.

Woohoo! New level!

Looking at the book, Arani's BAB, Will Save, and Reputation all go up by +1, and she picks up Coordinate +1. Her bonus ability point will go into Charisma (she's gained confidence lately ) and she gets seven skill points, which she'll use to raise Computer Use, Diplomacy, Repair, and Sense Motive, as well as picking up one rank in Knowledge: Alien Species (to represent the Xenosociology she's always talking about) and Pilot (she learned a little flying the van.) Vitality points also go up by 5 (if I'm calculating correctly.)

EDIT - Pilot is cross class for nobles, which is why one rank cost two points.
