The demolitions expert (look one post up) is Trandoshan, so the stuff requiring finer motor skills is probably challenging...

Besides, as Echo said, anything to start righting the balance between Jedi and non-Jedi is nice. right now, should all submitted CSs be accepted, the balance sits on 11:3.

In terms of the Cyborg guy....

I could actually work in a previous knowing off him. Someone needs to do the logistics.

First post is up. Three IRSOGs went into a planet called Gthrak, which is mostly jungle. They were deploying in KT-350 freighters, which are similar in design to the later KT-400 droid ships, but were shot out of the sky and had to bail out at higher altitude than planned.

-22 and -9 are of course out of commission, they're expendable NPC's, but -37 is somewhat intact though it took casualties (anyone who doesn't get a first post up. ;) ) and though it is spread out.

I left the end open so other characters could hook up with Zhiss.

On the other hand, you can also have your character land separately and have other characters hook up with that group too. It should be a multiple group situation.

Also, in addition to destroying the facility at Mount Hanlo, they now have to figure out how to sabotage Mando air defenses.

I will post, in the morning. I have started on pre-drinks before I go out for the evening. I can post drunk, in fact I've done it before. Though I'd rather my opening post wasn't a drunk one xD

FIRST!

I think Valsil standing nonchalantly near scenes of total chaos is gonna be, like, a thing. Incidentally if anyone else wants to stumble in while Val's thinking out loud like a robot, do feel free.

Random question, but would the Republic ensure everyone going into the field had some sort of radio or comm system so that everyone could stay in touch with each other?

The commo net on a planet like Gthrak stinks and the Mandos intentionally sabotaged satcom to prevent that. Only a few characters would have actual radios that would get them in contact with the fleet. Everyone else has short range jobs and no, communication isn't assured in a very dense jungle.

Prince, I know that I'm not accepted yet, but since no one else is online to tell you so, I definitely suspect that your character is far and above his power budget.

  • Age 14

  • Blocking force usage is probably a big nono. It's a very player-unfriendly move which strays into controlling other people's characters far too easily.

  • His weaknesses aren't really weaknesses at all. It takes a lot of effort to turn "charismatic" into a flaw, but it looks like that's what you're trying to do.

  • You give him a lot of skills (and one "flaw") for what short time he was with his family. If he was with his family long enough to learn diplomacy and how to be a leader, then how has he been in Jedi training long enough to be any good?

  • At age 5 he was strong enough to block a Jedi Knight's Force? At age ten he was "stronger than most 30-year-old humans in the Force?" Being a prodigy is one thing, but being a Jedi Master at the age of 5-10 is another thing entirely.



Just keep that in mind if you get rejected; I didn't see your first draft, but these bits are likely to cause you trouble.

Edit: Alright, I've read everything except for some of Celeste's history section; I should have a character up some time tomorrow!

Unfortunately, Fate had other plans for the young boy as a rare family vacation went awry, and left both his father and mother dead at the hands of a rare skirmish with Mandolorian Slavers. The boy was taken as a potential whipping boy or financial hostage. His time with them, while brief, left an impression upon him that he would never forget.


Why would Mandalorians venture all the way into unknown space to face against god knows who and what just for slaves, when they can go to unexplored parts of the safer part of the galaxy or alternatively to any already discovered planet and not take the risk.

Just asking.

We agree with Kiddo there. His boons far outweigh his flaws.

You still haven't provided any real good reason for a Chiss to be in the republic and serving its cause. A vague story about a mandalorian raid is implausible considering how the Chiss Ascendancy is in control of a single stabilized region of space in the Unknown regions. The only other region having any real sort of stability there is Vitiate's Sith Empire. They wouldn't condone any foreign interference in their domain. If mandalorians were foolish enough to strike out at them, it wouldn't end well. If you want slaves, you go for the easy-to-grab-from worlds, not the heavily defended ones with superior technology and armies.
Considering that Chiss are also notorious for extreme xenophobia, it is rather plain that a Chiss family would not be likely to go on vacation outside Chiss space, especially not in the republic, which is far from their region.
The only link we could find between Mandalorians and the practice of slavery was when they fought such, or when they were enslaved. Pretty sure they didn't work as slavers themselves. Its not normally a trade that can be considered honorable (and mandalorians were very fond of Honor)

Then there is the problem that you've given him near-mastery level Soresu. At 14 years of age, he wouldn't have had the years of training to go beyond competent, let alone sufficient to wear out most opponents. Not even Jedi Reflexes can make up for the sort of skill that decades of training will give a professional soldier (like a Mandalorian warrior). Not to mention, as HeySeuss specified, the Jedi permitted in this RP don't have more than theoretical combat experience (and the odd pirate/criminal encounter), so mastery of combat is implausible.

We'd go on, but there's not quite enough time.

We did run a Mary Sue test on this one... Our result was 45 points, which is extremely high chance of being a Mary Sue.

It might be easier to run it yourself. The test is primarily designed to run on your own characters, but it can also be run on other peoples' characters. You'll find it here.
