Allright, hows this:
New Era, "Ressurgence of the Empire"
50 years after the destruction of the second death star and the death of the Emporer, the New republic has weathered many imperial attacks, retaken coruscant, and all but destroyed the last remnants of the old republic. For the first time in over a century, the galaxy has been relatively peaceful.
Until now.
The remnants of the Empire have only been quiet recently because they have been recuperating and planning. Their plans are coming to fruition soon, and nobody knows about it.
You have 2 choices (and no, you don't all have to choose the same thing, there can be two different groups, but I'm going to ask that nobody makes 2 characters.)
Choice 1:
You are with the New Republic, willing to guard it and save it from whatever may try to stop it's peaceful reign.
Once you've decided your character concept/class, I'll figure out what your role is.
Choice 2:
You are a member of the New Imperial Order, and are ready to restate your new emperor, once the rebel scum who've taken over have been thorougly ousted.
Likewise, Once you've decided your character concept/class, I'll figure out what your role is.
Also, for the force-sensitive(Jedi, etc) You aren't necesarily good or evil just because you're on one side. Just because you're Imperial doesn't mean you're not a good guy, and likewise some members of the council can be cruel.. YOU might think what you're doing is good, or you might belong to the dark-side.
In the words of Obi-wan:
"A great deal of the truths we cling to depend upon our point of view" (I know i didn't get it exact, but close enough)
Character Creation :
2nd level characters.
Standard point-buy with 30 points.
Max credits for your classX2
If multi-classed, then add the maximum for each class.
The galaxy has only 1 type of currency left (The credit). Everyone needs a credit chip b/c there's no more hard currency (except for 'goods' like spice, or gems). A credit chip works the same way as an interac card, it accesses your main account.
I'm only allowing things from the Core rulebook, no expansion stuff. Everything will be as is in the Non-revised book, except for the Armor rules from the Revised (DR instead of defense bonus). For those who don't have access to Revised, just ask over this board. IF anyone has any other suggestions for things they think should be used as revised, make your argument and I'll decide.
Once you've made your character and decided your allegiance, I'll look it over. After I have at least 4 people in 1 group (OR 2 groups with at least 2-3 each), I'll start it up. Each group will post in their own thread, and PLEASE don't look at the other thread (Unless you're going to 'spy', but you'll have to E-mail me for specific rules for that). If/when there are cross-overs, I'll create a temp. thread for all participating to go to.
If there are no other questions, you may begin. If there are, ask away.
