Star Wars: Republic and Empire (OOC thread)

[drothgery]

Further note - I don't think I can make my capital ships without cheating. It's impossible to make a Nebulon-B frigate from the Frigate stock ship, and the Sacheen class is smaller, but pretty much better in all respects except for only carrying one fighter squadron instead of two.

 

[Shalimar]

Yea, I don't think the design rules are very good. They are fine for modding existing ships, but you can't actually make the premade ships with them.

 

[Blackrat]

How long has each of us been on Taelros? Istara's obvious, but how about the others. Do we know eachother and to what extent. If both Storm and Zenith have been onboard for a while I'd imagine the two jedi to be acquainted... Eventhough they are on opposite ends on their views about Jedi Order. I could imagine Storm trying to make Zenith into a "respectable" Jedi, and she trying to get Storm to "loosen up". If nothing else, Storm would pester any Jedi to spar with him on lightsabers

 

[Nightbreeze]

For some reason I just didn't click with your original concept; there wasn't anything in the revised version that said 'this character wouldn't work'. If you want to make a new proposal, go ahead.

Was it the background or the build concept that turned you off? Since SAGA edition came out, I have been craving to play a force wizard, so if possible I would keep the character sheet and make a drastically different personality/background.

Without block sparring is much more problematic unless we have training sabers. With block it'd be unlikely to actually hit each other given a use the force of +15 vs a likely Attack of +7 or +8. With only oe side having block it'd be a pretty foregone conclusion on who wins I'd think.

Well I did mean more like descriptive & RP background than actually statwise rolling .

Most of the crew have been onboard for about a month now (no one's been aboard much longer than that; before that it was in the Republic Engineering Corps shipyards), though people were still arriving as late as with Rosa's shuttle. Storm's probably been on board longer than Zenith (Taelros' fighters arriving after the ship did), but not by much.

Yeah. No dice (or their electronic equivalent) will be rolled for off-camera practice combat (or even on-camera, unless I decide to have you run an all-up simulation with the OOC justification of checking out how the numbers work).

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Well, write something up (though at this point you've got to be someone already onboad our frigate; Ariel Karan is probably PC-izeable, but most of the other NPCs introduced so far are not).

Ariel is a native Dathomirian that took to the ways of witchery at a very youg age. She kept a fine balance between developing her withery abilities and maintaing a healthy body. She is a fierce combatant and her witchery training makes her even more effective.

Upon reaching adulthood a man from another planet had had come to Dathomir and was smitten with her. They two had a whirlwind romance which culminated in the conception of her first born daughter, Alessra. After Alessra was born and Ariel had returned to full health she left Alessra to be raised by her mother and father. Ariel took the next ship off the planet to try to find the man that gave her the baby and was soon rceognized by jedi for her force prowess. After a stint with the Jedi Academy, Ariel hadn't given up hope of finding her love and decided it would be best to be a freelancer warrior.

Its been years and she still hasn't found him,but she hasn't given up hope.

Here is what information the game already has on Ariel from exposition in the IC thread:

"But Admiral Serrano says..." Lt. Ariel Karan began, and Storm began to tune out the Taelros' tactical officer, even though they were supposed to be working out gunnery drills together. The Cathar knew better. But he'd met officers like her before. They weren't always human, or women, or from the wealthiest families in the galaxy, but they usually were. And they'd decided they were going to turn themselves into the second coming of the woman who, according to most of the media in the Republic, single-handedly held the line against the Empire for the last fifteen years. He hadn't ever met the Fleet Admiral, but he rather suspected she disapproved.

It wasn't that Ariel lacked intelligence or education -- a family fortune that rivaled the Kandorians ensured the later, and the Republic Navy did not grant commissioned rank to anyone who lacked the former. And if she hadn't shown ability under fire, she would never have been promoted even once. But she seemed to have memorized anything Admiral Serrano had ever put in the public record. Jedi meditation techniques weren't invented for dealing with people like her, but they served.

also..

She knew she came across as more than a little arrogant to her fellow officers. And that she had a case of hero worship for the Fleet Admiral that really wasn't healthy. But it was hard not to; she'd changed Anaxes so much just by being herself and in so showing Anaxses' daughters could command warships just as well as its sons -- and that Anaxsi could be more than just the sword arm of whoever ruled the galaxy. Ariel didn't think she was any kind of revolutionary, but she was glad for the revolutions that already happened -- that meant being on the bridge of ship of war made her a proper daughter of high society on Anaxes, not the black sheep of the family.

Basically, I think Ariel is PC-able, but she's either a noble or noble/soldier build (certainly aiming at Officer), and certainly not Force Sensitive.
