[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9496595, member: 177"] Not knowing the player... I'd not go to that point yet. Because, the real question becomes... what does improvement look like? Every Star Wars story is a story of ever-rising stakes. If you are surviving ever-rising stakes, of course you are getting better, improving, in some sense. So, how do you do that? Luke clearly improves in power over the course of Episodes IV - VI. But he doesn't do it "to be more powerful" - that's literally the Dark Side. He does it because it is his legacy. And he does it to save the gorram galaxy from oppression! He does it by becoming his better self over time. And, the OP already notes that Han and Lando both started as money-grubbing scoundrels. They improve by [I]becoming better people[/I]. So, a character so mercenary as to loot bodies for tech for a few credits is a fine starting point for a character. The question is where he goes from there. [/QUOTE]
