Tired of Waiting: Star Wars Saga game

First Post
Okay, I am tired of waiting for someone to start one of these, and I bet there are others out there who are tired of it too. I hope if I start this game, others will follow suite.


Scrolling Text:

After the Yuuzhan Vong war ended, peace was restored to the galaxy...for a while. When a terraforming/world reclaimation project that the Vhong where heading up and the Jedi were sponsoring went horribly wrong, most in the Senate blamed both the Jedi and the Vong, casting the galaxy once again into Civil War. On one side was The Republic and those who still remembered the Vong as enemies. On the other were those dedicated to The Jedi and all of the good they had done since the fall of the Empire. Once more, during the civil war the Republic became an Empire, bringing the worlds in rebellion back into the fold through force. Many Jedi remained loyal to the Imperial Senate, leaving the Jedi and founding The Imperial Knights: force-users whose first priority and loyalty is to the Empire--not to the Force.

The current emperor, an Imperial Knight named Roan Fel, has made a deal with a secret organization called The Sith to put an end to the conflict between the Jedi and the Empire and restore peace to the Galaxy. His decision will have consequences even he could never have imagined...

Era: Late Legacy Era (roughly 130 years after the Battle of Yavin). Loosely based around events in the Star Wars: Legacy comics.

Starting Location: Ahto City, Manaan: a neutral planet Subjugated by the New Empire.

Over the years, The aquatic planet Manaan has become a rather polluted world, and Kolto production has become very scarce. A number of mining deposits deep on the world's surface have been discovered and are currently being exploited by the Empire. In addition, there is a rather busy star-port here, exporting ore, submerible vehicles, and kolto.

Character Creation:
Level: 6th
Stats: 25 point buy (21 point-buy for droids)
Starting gear: (tell me what you want and I will work out your gear myself)
HPs: Starting+Avg HP (round up)
Races: Any from Saga Edition. I will include Selkath stats below. Any other race, feel free to request it, and I will cook up stats for it as well.

Also, there are a number of character "archetypes" I need for this story. I need 6 PCs. I ask that your character fit one of the following Archetypes:

1. Jedi Apprentice, on this world with his/her master on a mission (1 only-human, Jedi class)
2. Ahto city local (not necessarily Selkath) with untapped force potential (1 only-any race, any non-jedi class)
3. Ahto city local's sibling with ties to underworld activities (1 only-any race, any non-jedi class)
4. A droid belonging to Ahto city local's family (up to 2-droid, any non-jedi class)
5. Imperial sibling of the Jedi Apprentice, stationed in Ahto City (or orbit) (1 only-human, Soldier, Scout, Noble, or Jedi (Imperial Knight))
6. Droid assigned to Imperial Sibling on Ahto City (1 only-droid, Soldier, Scout, or Noble)
7. Member of a smuggling/trade ship crew currently on Manaan (up to 3- any race, any non-jedi class)
8. Droid member of smuggling/trade ship crew (up to 2- droid, any non-jedi class)

I am looking for interesting characters. I obviously won't take all 8 archetypes, but I did want to give you some variety in character creation. I don't want this to be all Jedi, all the Time. Racially, for the related characters, you might want to consider hooking up with another player on the boards for shared back-stories.

Feel free to submit multiple characters-but I will only accept 1 character/player.

Selkath Species Traits
Selkath have the following species traits:
Ability modifiers: +2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma, -2 Constitution. Selkath are strong-willed and perceptive, but they are relatively frail.
Medium-Size: As Medium creatures, Selkath have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Speed: Selkath base speed in 6 squares. They have a swim speed of 4 squares.
Breathe Underwater: As amphibious creatures, Selkath can't drown in water.
Expert Swimmer: A Selkath may choose to reroll any Swim check, but the result of the reroll must be accepted even if it is worse. In addition, a Selkath may choose to take 10 on Swim checks even when distracted or threatened.
Darkvision: Selkath ignore concealment (including total concealment) from darkness. However, they cannot perceive colors in total darkness.
Keen Force Sense: Selkath may choose to reroll any Use the Force check made to search their feelings or sense the force, but the result of the reroll must be accepted even if it is worse.
Sonic Vulnerability: Any time a Selkath is affected by a sonic attack, they move one additional step down the Condition track.
 

I'm always a sucker for droid characters, though I'm not yet familiar with the Saga rules changes that pertain to them. I'd have to get my hands on the book before I could pitch a concept.

Also, do you have any insight to offer as to specific droid models that are in use during this era? I'm not familiar with any eras beside those detailed in the movies.

Honestly, the new droid rules (one ofthe more significant-and awesome-changes) allow you to customize and create your own model of droid.

Basically you fall into one of 5 degrees (medical, technical, protocol, combat, or labor), each with different base statistics, and then a certain amount of "credits" to customize your starting statistics.

As I don't know much about certain droid models in use during this time period, I wouldn't mind you customizing your own, especially if you were to base it on one of the "older models" seen in the movies/expanded universe.
 

Looks interesting. I'll see what I can whip up at home. Maybe a Force Sensitive Gungan (but not dopey/stupid).

Also, I've skimmed the chapter a couple times but cannot seem to locate what a droid's cost factor is. Do you have any insight?

Here she is, Leyla Sun

[sblock]
Leyla Sun, gungan, female, Soldier 3/Scoundrel 3 HT 1.9m WT 80k

I'm seeing Leyla as being raised on Manaan after her family relocated their due to some (unspecified) familial disputes on Naboo. [family can be any size] As a youngster, she fell in with a bad crowd and developed something of an attitude problem and a chip on her shoulder. Lately she's been taking lookout and hired gun jobs for the extra cash to help out her family and "stick it to the man".

If someone would like to share a background, I'm open to adapting mine so that they can work together.

Backstory--
(Imperial sibling of the Jedi Apprentice, stationed in Ahto City (or orbit))
Ikari joined the Jedi knights as a child, filled with tales of heroism from the Yuzon Vong war. He quickly became disillusioned, however, due to the pacifistic nature of the training and slow patiece required by his masters. Nursing his disappointment and resentment throughout his boyhood, he left the order as soon as a rival order, dedicated to the new Empire. While undergoing basic indoctrination, Ikari bought into everything he was told hook, line and sinker. He's not a fanatic, but his conviction to the ideals of the Empire are real.

Currently, he finds himself on the planet of Manaan, where he left his family to join the Jedi. He looks forward to meeting his parents again (if they still live).

Great. The first Legacy Era game that I've even seen and it's for the system that I don't have the book for. Good luck to those that get in.
 

Well, if you wanna outline a character history and give me an idea what sort of things you want your character to be able to do, I can make you stats if you want.

I am sure you know D20 well enough to figure out what to do with those stats once you have them. After all, making characters with Saga edition is quick, easy, and painless.
 

I may actually take you up on that. Let me do some research to see if the character I really want to play is feasible.
