[OOC] Star Wars - Desperation - Post RotJ RP

[SoleAccord]

I'll keep Wedge as the primary, since he was the dedicated pilot, and just say Suri did a mission or two with Luke leading up to Hoth, but nothing as massive as that. If everything's straightened out, I suppose we wait?

[Sep]

@SoleAccord Feel free to move it across to the thread, I myself am listening to Star Wars music right now and working on my own characters.

[SoleAccord]

Probably a good time to ask how the NPC usage is going to work, since two of the profiles so far are in positions of leadership? Would we have minor control of certain resources you give us to shape the roleplay, or nah?

[Sep]

@SoleAccord Yeah you can run around with things as you see fit, as I said there is a certain sandbox element. Obviously I'll step in if you start to get ridiculous, but rather than forcing a retcon it just means that something happens.

[SoleAccord]

Dope, dope. Blue Squadron lives \o/ for now, anyway.

[Sep]

@SoleAccord Probably in some diminished capacity though

[LordZell]

@Sep So, as I'm going to be an officer would you like me to put down things that are normally on an officer such as code cylinders or can we just keep it as inferred knowledge.

[Sep]

@LordZell Your call.

[Charter]

I'm going to hold onto my CS a bit longer than intended. I will create a character to fill a place in either the New Rep or Empire, depending on which side has less players.

[Sep]

@Charter from interest expressed I'd say both sides are going to be 50/50. So I'd rather you went ahead and made the character you feel like making.

I can always keep people entertained who may not have a play mate, bear in mind GCW is a specific area of Star Wars history (most prefer TOR due to the fact they can all be Jedi or Sith) and there hasn't been a recent release of Material so recruitment won't be that high, I expect there to be a boom around the time of Rebels S3 coming out and the release of Rogue One.

[Charter]

@Sep Very well. I'll post the character I have ATM.

Player Name: Charter

Name: Staff Sergeant Caleb Raock, DT-344

Age: 24

Appearance: Caucasian, green eyes, brown hair in the standard military crew cut, 5'11" in hieght with a medium build

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Affiliation: Empire.

Force Sensitive Y/N: No

Equipment: Scout Trooper uniform, EC-17 Blaster Pistol (tucked away in his right boot), an E-11 Sniper Rifle, also has a two frag grenades, macrobinoculars and a 74-Z Speeder Bike.

Skills: Scouting and target designation, blaster weapons training, sniper weapons training, stealth training

Strengths: Detailed report writer, skilled shooter, battle discipline (not distracted very easily), fleet footed individual, persistent tracker.

Weaknesses: Poor melee capability, lack of personal motivation to fight, poor liar, can lose track of surroundings when using sniper or microbinoculars, tends to play as a lone-wolf, tends to be quite relaxed or bored in normal duties.

History: Caleb was born on a farm on Naboo. Although a farm boy, Caleb tends to give the impression he's from a metropolitan city. When he finished a minimum schooling, and with a desire to explore and see the galaxy, he tried to get into schools that were off-world. However, every one of the 12 schools he tried to get in denied him, each for their own reasons for doing so. Disheartened from the constant denials, he went for a walk around the nearby town. This is where he saw a recruitment holo-vid for the Imperial military; primarily the words 'explore the galaxy' caught his attention most. Upon returning home, he told his parents what he was thinking of doing. They were hesitant of the decision, asking him to reconsider for other options. They argued that it would be dangerous, that he'd might get killed, he argued that it would be his chance to make the galaxy a better place, as well as learn some other skills for when he left the Imperial forces. His parents ultimately let him make his decision but have expressed their dislike of it.

After signing up at a local recruitment centre, Caleb made his way off-world, saying goodbye to his friends & family. With a natural ability to quickly move through various types of terrain from his adventures in Nabooian woods, he was placed into the Stormtrooper Corps to be a Scout Trooper, he was later given sniper weapons training. After the Battle Of Yavin, Caleb was pulled from training to fill the vacuum left by the destruction of the first Death Star. His placement was a world on the Outer Rim, where he primarily performed scouting/reconnaissance duties. Here he proved himself capable and loyal in combat and duties before being transferred to Taris months before the Battle Of Endor. While stationed on Taris, Caleb was becoming dissatisfied within Imperial ranks and the overall conflict with the Rebels. He started to consider what lines of work he could step into when he finished his time in the Imperial Military, hopefully something that allowed him to visit home often.

After the destruction of the Death Star and the rumored death of Emperor Palpatine, Caleb was informed of Naboo's new allegiance to the newly formed New Republic. He has also heard that the Empire was making an attempt to take the planet. This put him in an awkward spot; he knew the Empire had a habit of caring little for civilian casualties, which put the thought of his parents' well being into question. On top of that, since he had joined the Empire, would this newly formed New Republic harm or harass his family? Caleb kept these concerns to himself, not trusting any of his fellows in case one of them report him to be questionable. With hope, he'll survive this conflict and find a peaceful way home. In spite of his concerns; Caleb remains loyal to the Empire, believing a united Empire is better for everyone.

@Charter Good to go.

Also for anyone wondering about Aurek. She's based off a character I have played before, as you can guess she's kind of important to the Imperial side of the plot. I'm also going to write her in a style I've never really tried before, so let's see what happens :P

[LordZell]

Player Name: Lord Zell
Name: James Conrad
Age: 41
Appearance:
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Kuat)
Force Sensitive Y/N: No
Equipment: Blaster pistol, Other standard officer gear (Code cylinders, Datapad etc.)
Skills: Knows most of the city, Well respected by his subordinates. Can fight decently in hand to hand or gunfights.
Strengths Loyal to the Empire, Tactician, Belief in Collateral Damage
Weaknesses: Wishes for personal gain, Dislikes authority(Only follows those he must such as the Governor or the Agent.) Belief in Collateral Damage
History: While James attempts to forget his life when he was a child it’s what made him. Having been born to a poor family he had to scrounge for anything he could. Often working for criminals to get whatever he could. However everything changed when he was 15, the clone wars as they were called had begun. Kuat began requiring more and more people to work for the ever expanding dockyards. This was where James got his first honest work. Making small ship parts in the factories while it didn’t do much he was able to see clones,officers,senators and more when they came to collect new ships or thank the world for all it was doing. Eventually the war ended and the Empire came.

At 18 he joined the empire and immediately he was seen for his talent. Unlike most soldiers he could actually think for himself and had officer potential. He was transferred to the Cardia Academy which would soon to be known for producing the best of the best. Unlike those around James who had gotten everything from either being wealth men, supporters of palpatine or with friends in high places, James had earned his spot. Also on times when he found himself in trouble he often had the uncanny ability to shift the blame to his peers. At 25 he had graduated and granted the rank of Lieutenant in the Imperial Army he was transferred once again back to Kuat, he was once again working in making the factories however this time he was to make sure shipments were made on time and everything moved like clockwork. Due to the importance of Kuat the empire stationed thousands of men. Though they usually had little to do. The planet was loyal to the empire and had little to gain from helping small rebel cells which could make no promises on returning on their investments.

Over the next 12 years James slowly rose the ranks to Major. When the Death Star exploded however and many high ranking positions were left vacant allowed James a place of higher authority. James was granted the rank of Colonel and moved to Taris. There he acted as the head of the military on planet serving as the assistant of Governor Ventui. Though James had lesser resources than that of Kuat he had less oversight and more action. James quickly began quelling the small cells on the planet wasting civilian life if needed and anytime it was brought up the blame was put on the rebels. Now 4 years later and with the supposed death of the Emperor and Vader the empire fracturing and war on his planet. James awaits to see what Agent Aurek is making and further Orders.

[Charter]

@Sep Made some changes to the skills, strengths and weaknesses to keep with the other CSs' style of listing them out for more clarity.

[Legion-114]

@Sep

For the first month, Knight and The Defender were still stationed above Naboo as part of the Orbital Defence. Once word had broken out about the destruction of the Death Star II, he then shifted focus to locating stranded Imperial Outfits and assisting in personnel evacuation and regrouping.

[Sep]

@LordZell You're good.

@Legion-114 Work that into the sheet, bear in mind Taris is a long way off from Naboo.

[LordZell]

So any idea when we might get an IC? Also will the imps have an objective or?

[Sep]

@LordZell Aurek will keep y'all busy.

I'm aiming for Monday evening, earlier if those still working on sheets get them finished.

[SoleAccord]

A list of military resources on both sides that survived the battle over Taris could be of use, if you ever have time. I'd like to know what to look for when we get started.

[Sep]

@SoleAccord tis on my list of things to do tomorrow.
