Heavy WIP. Will probably describe everything in a much better way but this is my first draft. Just wondering if I made any errors somwhere.



Put a picture or something for his Appearance. Also make sure @Shard is okay with him as Vail's padawan. One thing I did notice is that at one point you described his lightsaber skills as abysmal and the next they were "lacking a little." Not sure what his skill set is there, and if they are abysmal he probably didn't take third place in a tournament. Also not sure Yoda would tell Jedi not to take an apprentice.

Just my thoughts.

You're probably right. Sorry, I'll give it all a better shot tomorrow.

It isn't a bad sheet at all. Just needs a little work. You're almost there.

I do not mind Vail having an apprentice. He'd be a very off the books kind of master, though. He's not very proper at all and would probably be anything but a good role model xD.

That could be fun, though. He'd probably love his student and be all huggly and cuddly when he's not having a sarcastic attitude towards him/her.

Awesome. I won't be able to update the roster until late tonight though. I'll be at work for the next 8 hours.

This isn't me pressing you, you're a busy person and we all have lives to take care of primarily, but do you have a time estimate for the first IC post?

Right now the goal is Tuesday or Wednesday. Probably Wednesday. That'll give other players time to get sheets in and will allow current players to finish there's. It'll also give me time to figure out the logistics of how the battle on Ord Mantell is going to work.

Updated the roster to include the 185th Attack Battalion and the 99th Storm Battalion. @The Scotsman @The Survivor if you want me to change the Company Captains up just let me know.

I'm going to put out a general question to get an OOC discussion going. Would You all like for the Commanders and Jedi to brief the troops before heading into battle or would you like us to get straight to the action? Like do you want a calm before the storm round of posts where the men are all celebrating that they are finally getting some action? We will have these calm non-battle periods throughout the RP but I just wanted to know if anyone wants to start out that way.

Alternatively we can start as the men are being deployed. Straight into the action.

I'd prefer we get straight into the action immediately, start in the storm and then calm stuff down later on. I like it when movies start like that too...xD

Either way, I personally think that it would keep things interesting from the very get go. In my experiences, a slow start in an RP where you wait for everyone to post will eventually become a chore. In a heated battle and in this case, war, things will be kept interesting throughout the start. When everyone has gotten into the RP and feel like they have some stable ground to stand on, we can calm things down before the next explosion.

------------------------------------------------------

On another note, I was thinking Vail would be more of a "behind the scenes" attacker with a squad or something. It would make sense since using a sword on a battlefield with blaster bolts flying -everywhere- isn't very efficient and I am assuming people can aim in this RP, unlike the movies. Considering this, I thought that it would be rather fitting if the majority of Vail's missions would be behind the scenes and taking down important command locations or people. There is a word for that...but I can't English right now...

I remember Obi-Wan and Anakin had similar missions to that a lot, but also spent a lot of time on the battlefield with the clones. However, given the fact that I am a realism nut (to a certain extent), I find it a bit incredible that a Jedi can charge into a battalion of droids and kill everything while at the same time deflecting a sea of blaster bolts heading their way. Vail's a beast in close quarters combat but I don't think he'd do very well on a battlefield based around ranged combat and explosives xD. Deflect blaster bolts from a bunch of droids, yeah alright. Deflect blaster bolts from an army of droids while undoubtedly being their main target since...he's running towards them with a sword...not so much.

Jus' sayin'!

I think it would be good either way. Another idea is for flashback sequences in the first posts? For example, we could all be on the transport carriers and the characters could be thinking of the briefing and the first post of everyone would be them entering the combat while also having the calm moments.

@Shard yeah, I found that pretty dumb too.




On another note, I'd be fine to start in the action as well.

If that's what Vail will be doing, he'll probably be working quite closely with the Recon Company of the 177th Battalion, which I am currently drafting.

As for how to start, I think that jumping right into the storm is probably the best way to get everyone involved and writing from the get-go. Flashbacks and briefings are fine but people tend to drop off if an RP doesn't get rolling quickly enough, so it's probably best to just get straight into it.

I agree, and that sounds good, working with the Company you're creating.

Alright, so we will be starting off as the 417th is being deployed on the planet. Expect many explosions and ant-air guns to fire at us before we land. Optional flashback scenes about the briefing can be incorporate in your posts. If anyone has a certain objective that they have in mind for their unit let me know. Otherwise I will give everyone orders.

@Mortarion @ClocktowerEchos @Legion02 How are your sheets coming? Anyone almost done?

I am hoping to discuss Vail and the Recon Company with Vhagar. I don't know if Vail would be on the ship and land with the rest of the troops, but rather take another squad into enemy territory. Being a Jedi Master, Jiyan could lead the troops on the field maybe? This is something that would be nice to discuss here in the OOC before the first IC post.

Sounds good mate.

If anyone is just making a battalion or company, the 2nd is always accepting. I'll fill it in with non-recurring NPC's the now, but if you want a spot just say.
