[OOC] Star Wars: A Stormtrooper's Tale.

[Bishop]

Im thinking of Rp-ing with an Imperial Heavy Trooper if that is acceptable. Just a question though, is the electrostaff made of Phrik or Cortosis?

[Gat Izen]

@Azkott So I read up on the transition of armor and found that not all clones had to change to the new armor(in fact 91st lightning squad didn't and still helped in the galactic civil war), So I believe that it still fits in the realm of possibility especially noting the fact that shocktroopers didn't change till years and years later. I like the outfit but if you think its to much I'll change it I just want to justify why its possible.

[Ollumhammersong]

All of shock troopers never changed from phase 2 clone armour because it was a lot better in many ways. And no one gave a dam because shock troopers were a facet of the storm troopers that were actually capable of kicking allot of ass.

But most of those examples are from people who served in the old republic and kept their original suits. or had those suits otherwise gifted to them. As time marched on more and more recruits would have been issued standard stormtrooper armour because the older phase 2 stuff wasn't manufactured so replacement suits would be harder to come by twenty years down the road.

[Azkott]

@Gat Izen - You've done your research, it seems. Great. Sounds good to me; as such, accepted.

[Azkott]

@Bishop - My best guest is Cortosis. After some brief research, I learned it was Lightsaber resistant.

[Bishop]

@Azkott they both do that but some say Phrik alloy is stronger as it even survived the destruction of a planet hit by the death star. But some sources depict Cortosis to short circuit the lightsabers upon making contact with it. Like deactivate the opponents lightsaber for a couple of minutes.

If you accept this mechanic I'll go with Cortosis, otherwise I'll be choosing Phrik. No need to waste your time on research.

[Azkott]

@Bishop - Whatever you prefer, as long as its within reason and logic. Thanks for taking my opinion into consideration.

[Anarchy]

This is going to be gore-geous.

[uliop]

Are you still accepting character applications?

[Orlan]

I think we are if the apply status doesn't lie.

[uliop]

Oh yeah, I just found this site so I didn't even know to look for that, my bad.

[uliop]

Here's my application!

My Hider

Stormtrooper classification: Navy Commando

Designation: CR-089

Military Ranking: Private

Nickname: Cro (Pronounced "Crow")

Race/species: Human

Planetary Origin: Nar Shaddaa

Gender: Male

Armor appearance: Black pauldron. Otherwise, what it looks like in the above image.

Personality: Cynical, snarky, and sometimes downright rude. He has a quip for every occasion, even if it might be viewed as a 'bad time' for jokes by some. He is very level headed and doesn't often let his emotions cloud his judgement, both in and out of combat. And he can usually be considered a pretty relaxed person.

He feels awkward expressing deep emotions, especially when trying to convey his care for friends/loved ones. Cro can also sometimes be quite self-detrimental, though first impressions might make it seem as if it's the exact opposite, if you were to take his joking egotistical statements to heart.

Appearance: His raven black hair is cut short, falling just to the bottom of his earlobes. Sharp green colored eyes, accompanied by a sharp - if a little average - face. He is 6'2 and somewhat more lanky than his comrades, though he is still completely fit and combat-ready.

History: He was born on Nar Shaddaa, and raised by the lowlives and thugs that inhabit it. With no parents he can remember, he lived in the alleyways and tucked away corners of the Smuggler's Moon. His only goals in life while he lived there were to find his next meal - and maybe a nice sleeping spot if he were lucky. But as both of these thins got increasingly rare, he came across a holo-flier of the esteemed Imperial Stormtrooper Corp. Cro didn't particularly want to risk his life in the Imperial Army, but he hadn't really developed many skills other than robbing & stealing, and both of those things were getting increasingly dangerous as he grew older.

With not much choice he submitted an application into the Imperial Army, and it was accepted sometime later. He was appointed as an Imperial Navy Commando; part of a subdivision of the Stormtrooper Corp specializing in what was essential guard duty of various Imperial facilities across the galaxy. Cro was quite happy with his position, he didn't have to charge out onto the front lines, and it was enough to put food in his belly.

He specialized in patrol, surveillance, and even a bit of AT-ST piloting

[Halvtand]

So far we have applications for:
2 Scout trooper
1 EVO trooper
1 Jump trooper
1 Tech trooper
2 Death trooper
2 Storm trooper (1 clone)
1 Recon trooper
1 Storm surgeon
1 Navy commando

What a crew...

[Orlan]

I imagine everyone running off being heroes while Jet and Dio prepare for a long day of fixing broken equipment and bones.

[Gat Izen]

@uliop No problem! I liked the armor so I went to see if it was a viable option.

ID-2076

Stormtrooper classification: Imperial Heavy Trooper

Designation: ID-2076

Military Ranking: In the corps, this is usually denoted by a colored pauldron. Nothing too crazy; don't go making yourself some Grand Moff all of a sudden, or a full on commander without OOC consent.

Nickname: Di

Race/species: Human

Planetary Origin:

Gender: Male

Armor appearance: Since no doubt many will enjoy customizing their character, here is where you'll denote what kind of armor they don according to their classification, as well as what custom additions it possesses, whether it be extra bandoleers or haphazardly painted helmet flames.

Personality: Just a curt description pertaining to what they're like on and off the field of battle.

Appearance: 2 stripes of dark grey hair cut very short line his head in the middle, distanced symmetrically, starting from the back of his head forward. His eyes are sharp, emotionless and have a dark grey color. He has a craggy face with strong jaws and a short trimmed circle beard. A lightsaber scar is visible ranging from his left eye to beyond his left ear, a little into the back of his head.

History: He was brought in to serve the Empire when he was 9 years old. His training was hard and rigorous, testing his mental and physical capabilities to the limit. With hard training and good genetics his body muscle grew exponentially, also achieving a height of 178 cm at age 15. Besides him being in peak physical condition, he was also noted for quick thinking, exemplary show of loyalty towards higher ups and putting his mission above all. Even in team trials or versus matches in the academy, he never even took a second glance at his fallen comrades, he was always in the vanguard, being the first to charge and bait the enemies to focus him giving his comrades a chance to kill. In other times he charged forward, getting in close while his teammates covered him, giving him a chance to take things to close quarters where he had the advantage. Noting all these traits they decided to list him as a potential candidate on being an Imperial Heavy Trooper in the Stormtrooper Corps. So he was taken aside from the other cadets and trained separately with a selected other group of individuals. This training was harsher and unforgiving. By the end of all that, only he and a few others were given the honor of serving the Empire as a full fledged Imperial Heavy Trooper.

After leaving the academy he was sent on different missions throughout different contested worlds. He was charged with dealing against large and/or difficult to kill enemies. In many of those worlds he encountered "Jedi" in battle. He mostly used cheap tactics to get the upper hand, using surprise as a battle winning factors. That and the fact that he had the help of multiple squadrons backing him up while he fought in the front lines. In one particular mission he was sent to eradicate a group of Jedis hiding in an uninhabited densely forested planet. It was briefed that they were training young future force users and Di's mission along with 9 other Imperial Heavy Troopers was to engage them, distracting them while another group acquired the younglings. If this mission failed then they had orders to kill the younglings, "better than being in the enemies hands" as they put it. As he was fighting, the Jedi knocked his helmet off and nearly missed killing him, instead only injuring his left eye and ear, both organs lost, scarred to this day. Luckily the Jedi was forced to retreat as more back up arrived and the fire power became too much for the force user to deflect or dodge. Di was taken back by a medic and patched up, made aware that his left eye and hearing were lost. After taking just a few moments to regain his balance, he got his electrostaff and went to check on the younglings, deciding that it was the best course of action taking into consideration his wounds. When he approached the residence where the younglings were supposed to be, he saw multiple dead bodies, dozens of the Empire's forces laying motionless on the ground and a clocked figure limping in the distance, heading towards a hole in the ground, surely towards where the younglings were hidden. Di activated a timed grenade, throwing it to explode a few feet before hitting the target. As the grenade flew towards the target, just as he expected, the Jedi used the force to stop it mid air. No sooner than it stopped, the grenade exploded knocking the clocked figure back, slamming it through a tree. It turned out to be a young girl as Di approached her unconscious body and took a closer look at her features. He then turned his head towards the hole, whimpers could be heard coming from inside it and just as he was about to approach it he was suddenly lifted up then abruptly slammed down, creaks on the ground formed around his body at the place of impact. If it wasn't for his extra hardened armor and physical enhancements, he would have certainly blacked out if not worst, but none the less Di pretended to be unconscious. As the Jedi shifted his attention from him to the other unconscious force user, Di quietly retrieved a grenade and threw it in the underground hideout. The children quickly reacted to it and the Jedi, sensing the presence of the danger, used his force powers to quickly lift it up and away from the younglings. Di used his opportunity and got up in a flash, his electrostaff in his hand, hitting the Jedi in the sheen, making him lose focus, the grenade falling again into the hideout. With barely enough time to react, Di raised his electrostaff to defend against the lightsaber attack, as soon as they made contact the lightsaber short-circuited. Without the saber even shutting off completely, the Jedi kicked the trooper hard in the stomach, sending him flying off the ground tens of meters away until it reduced to a slide then a stop, the trooper laying there, unable to move. When the Jedi's attention finally returned to the hideout and the grenade danger, it was already too late. The last things he heard were screams then an explosion, the hideout shortly collapsing afterward, burrying the horrific tragedy that just occurred. Di could hear the explosion, the anger fueled scream then silence... He tried to call for back up but the comm device wasn't functioning. Suddenly all the trees around him were blown aside, leveling the area where he was standing, also knocking him further back, slamming him towards a cut trunk in a seating position, his head and back leaning on the trunk. He could barely keep track of what was happening at this point, too exhausted and wounded. The pain was hard to NOT keep track off as he could feel every inch of his body aching and throbbing as blood trickled out from his armor suit. A force lifted his body, a force choke focused on his throat, blocking his respiratory system and gradually causing the trooper's vision to fade. Well, he fulfilled the mission.. He couldn't help but meakly smile at the fact that his last thoughts were about the mission, the greatness of the Empire. NO, why couldn't he have something for himself? Something personal to remember on his dying moment..ANYTHING. Anger sparked inside him at the realization of the empty life that he had. If only he had made different choices.. Too late now, this was where the journey ended for ID-2076..or so he thought. As his body was levitating towards the angry Jedi with a lightsaber in hand, Troopers approached from the woods, their white silhouettes could be seen running towards the open area they were in. As it completely faded to black, Di saw shots fired towards the Jedi's back, coming from all side.

He woke up in the medical chambers aboard the starship from which he embarked from at the start of the mission. He saw the medical droid looking through his health data, finally determining that he was fit enough to presume daily life without medical assistance it approached the drawer, picked up and presented his off-duty cloths to him. It also added :"How is your left eye and ear functioning?". Surprised by this at first, Di quickly remembered what had happened and of the Medic Trooper informing him of how the left eye and ear were beyond repair. The droid briefly explained that they were replaced by enhanced cybernetic replicas of the original also adding that the higher ups had requested him to present himself before them with a detailed verbal report of the mission as soon as he was to wake up. After dressing the trooper went on to present his report. First he was congratulated on the successful mission. Every force user on that planet was eradicated. As Di explained the details he was cut off mid sentence saying that there was no female Jedi on that planet. When the trooper was about to insist otherwise, his superior added that multiple scouting groups were dispatched to search the area for any survivors and no one had left the planet either. This was passed as mild confusion after being slammed into the ground.. although that happened after* he saw her... Di finished explaining the mission details then left with a salute. What awaited him now, only time will tell.

I don't know if I'll be running around being a hero.
I do want to live.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Anarchy

Not wanting to put down your life for the glory of the Empire?

[Azkott]

Alright. I think we have enough people. How do I close the application?

@Bishop - accepted.

@uliop - accepted.

[Azkott]

Alright; now that we are set, would you all prefer to initiate this roleplay through the fire of combat, or during the transportation to the base of operations?
