[OOC] Star Wars: Darkness Rising

[Legion-114]

Video Version

Terror runs rampant throughout the Galaxy!

The Battle of Endor had ended in victory for the Rebellion, however this moment was short lived with the sudden appearance of Lord Tidus – an ancient Sith Lord who had been frozen since the end of the Jedi Civil War almost five and a half thousand years ago.

Once awoken, Tidus had been plotting against the Emperor. But now with the Emperor’s death, Tidus reclaimed his Ultra Star Destroyer – The Reaper!

This One hundred and forty-kilometre ship besieged and destroyed many Rebel outposts within months. Now millions flock to join the Empire which has adopted the name Infinite Empire from those who had designed the ship - The Rakata.

Now with the Rebellion on the brink of extinction, the rebirth of the Infinite Empire threatens to rule the galaxy with an iron fist, which holds tighter than the Emperor would ever have done!

Introduction

Greetings! And welcome to Star Wars: Darkness Rising. A Star Wars roleplay set on an alternative timeline to that of the Disney and Legends Canon. Both the Emperor and Vader are dead and the Death Star II has been destroyed. However, in their wake a much sinister being lurks. - Darth Tidus, a Sith lord that was frozen since the Jedi Civil War around 5000 BBY. He, along with his Ultra Star Destroyer - The Reaper - have reformed the Galactic Empire; rebranding it to what is now known as The Infinite Empire.

Rebel outposts have been destroyed and its very infrastructure has been crippled. Many systems have willing surrendered to the Infinite Empire. Those that did not were wiped out of existence.

You, as a character will be able to take on any role possible within this new story arc, whether that be a new recruit of the reformed Empire, a scattered member of the Rebellion looking to hurt the Empire wherever you can. Or maybe even your only allegiance is to the sum of credits that line your bank account. - Whatever the case, your fate has yet to be written in the tide of war.

Darth Tidus

Darth Tidus is a Sith Lord who operates very differently from most known lords. Firstly to the surprise of many, Darth Tidus does not revel in the death or suffering of those below him. But this is not to be taken as a sign of weakness as many a time he has cut down those that had stood in his way of success without a hint of remorse. After his debut, Tidus offered those in the Rebellion full immunity if they laid down their arms to the new Empire.

While there was thousands who thought this was some kind of trap, those who had agreed to Tidus's terms saw that this was no trick and they were allowed to continue their lives as they once had before. However, those that betrayed this agreement saw a terrible end not just of themselves, but to their entire family.

Tidus's overall goal seems unclear at present, however there have been whispers that he is searching for hidden temples throughout the galaxy, ones said to hold great power.

The Reaper

The Reaper is Tidus's personal warship. It is unknown how or when he originally came across such a massive ship, but the unique architecture and foundry systems bear very close resemblance to of the Star Forge built by the Rakata.

The armament is an endless list, however it's notable feature are the seven Kyber-Crystal 'planet-slicers'. These lasers hold similar design to the Death Star's main weapon, but are designed not to completely destroy a plant, but rather slice large sections off and be processed for the ship's many foundries.

Calling dibs on a spot.

I'm kind of torn, I want to make a loyal Imperial Ace pilot but I want to see the baddies lose :(

@Charter

Who ever said the Infinite Empire were the bad guys? ;) Everything has a reason :3

[Shadow Daedalus]

Can I just transfer my character from the other RP after I edit it a bit?

@Shadow Daedalus

Yup, all those that were in the previous RP just need to tweak theirs to fit in or change allegiance and they should be good.

Khyrr Thane

Player Name: Shadow Daedalus
Name: Khyrr Thane
Age: 26
Appearance:

Khyrr

With Armour and Improvised Rifle

Gender: Male
Race: Human (Corellian)
Force Sensitive Y/N: N
Equipment:
Fury-Class Interceptor 'Revenant': Found during a salvage run and restored to a working order, Khyrr uses this 2-6 man starship after the death of his old salvage crew, crewed by re-purposed droids he had collected.
DE-10 Blaster Pistol: Recovered from a Mandalorian wreck, This heavy blaster pistol has been his trusted sidearm for over 6 years and his skill with it is notable.
Improvised Blaster Rifle: cobbled together from various rifle parts and fine-tuned by a rogue gunsmith, he uses this burst-action blaster rifle with fairly impressive skill during his mercenary work or salvage runs in particularly dangerous areas.
Custom-built Combat armour/re-breather: Constructed from an amalgamation of various armours (including Phase II Clone and Rebel Elite armour), this fully enclosed combat suit provides protection from low-power blasters and stun shots as well as up to 30 minutes in toxic or vacuum environments. Also features an RCS pack for mobility in 0-G.
HK-51 Assassin Droid: Co-pilot of the Revenant and the closest thing Khyrr has to a partner. Discovered in the hold of the Fury-class and painstakingly restored after losing his second family, HK-51 serves as a companion to Khyrr and provides sniper support during ground missions.

Skills:
Born Mechanic: Raised around starships almost his life, Khyrr knows how almost any ship in existence ticks, and if he doesn't it doesn't take long for him to work it out.

Experienced Pilot: Also stemming from his time around Corellia's shipyards, Khyrr can fly almost anything (including small warships) to varying degrees of skill.

Gunfighter: Having brushed with armed hostiles more than a fair few times, He's fairly skilled with blasters and other projectile weapons.

Strengths:
Salvage, Sabotage and Starship Surgery: peerless knowledge of starship mechanisms, for both good and nefarious purposes.

Following the Falcon: highly skilled and versatile with smaller starships (not starfighters), he is one of the best pilots in the sector. The only person that's a better pilot of similar ships is the infamous (and possibly famous too) Han Solo in his equally infamous Millennium Falcon.

Mercenary by Trade: notably skilled with blasters, rifles and other firearms. Decent with a sniper rifle, but not enough to out-snipe the military elite.

Silver-tongued: a smooth-talker in general, he has particular success in charming the fairer sex, usually into the bedroom...

Weaknesses:
Not Exactly Ace Material: While nearly unsurpassed in larger ships, his skill in a starfighter is barely better than an average pilot. It's enough that he can take-off, fly and land, but a dogfight is out of the question. As such, he avoids flying them unless he has literally no other choice.

Self over Others: As a loner and self-inflicted outcast, he is quick to cast others aside for his own benefit, be it for wealth or safety.

Nope-Jitsu: he has no skill in melee or unarmed combat besides basic hand-to-hand and bar-fighting and is completely defenceless against trained fighters without a blaster or some kind of explosive.

History: Barely 3 months before the Clone Wars broke out, Khyrr was born and raised around the shipyards of Corellia to a shipyard overseer, Ahri, and her husband Hythian, who was working as lead engineer for the same shipyard. Being in and around starships for most of his early life gave him an in-depth knowledge of the piloting, salvage and general engineering involved with the construction and demolition of a wide variety of starships. He grew up through the clone wars and 11 years under Empire's rule before any major events happened in his life.

At age 15, a violent dispute between the shipyards and Imperial Forces claimed the lived of his parents, and he was left orphaned. He was quickly picked up by a group of salvagers, who became a second family to him. This group of salvagers, the crew of a heavily modified YG-4210 Called the 'Redliner' due to a thick red line running across both the top and bottom of the ship, took him in and he quickly became an important part of their salvage operation, fitting into tighter spaces and picking out the most valuable parts.

It was during this time that Khyrr constructed his armour, as well as a few more similar sets for the Redliner crew, and his rifle. He was 19 when he discovered an abandoned Fury-class Interceptor in a huge debris field in the uncharted sector. He and the crew of the Redliner restored it to full condition over the course of 2 years, using parts taken from Imperial wrecks and crash sites, and hid the ship on a nearby planet that was too harsh for humans to settle on. They dubbed it 'Revenant' because of the ancient history behind it, and outfitted it with newer, more powerful weapons (including a Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon underneath the cockpit, slaved to the pilot's control) and an improved hyperdrive.

Not long after the restoration of the Fury-class Interceptor, the Redliner was caught illegally salvaging the wreck of an Imperial star destroyer. Khyrr, aged 21, was hidden in the wreckage as he watched the Redliner try to surrender, only to be viciously destroyed by TIE Fighters. Evading the patrolling Imperials and running out of air in his armour, he passed out and was picked up by a sympathetic transport vessel. He rode with them until they reached the nearest neutral spaceport, where he paid for no-questions asked transport to the same planet he had hidden the Fury-class.

After nearly freezing to death, he found the ship and escaped the planet. He then worked as a Mercenary and Bounty Hunter for anyone that would pay, from Crime Lords to the Empire itself, while also keeping up his old work of salvaging wrecks and derelicts and selling off the parts for a reasonable price. He also worked for the Rebellion a few times, almost taking part in the Battle of Yavin a year later until a higher paying contract came through. After the reformation of the Infinite Empire, he continued his work as a Mercenary and bounty hunter. His most recent contract just completed, Khyrr is now waiting for the next paying customer to offer a big enough paycheck... no matter who it comes from.

My Old CS, just trimmed up a little

[Legion-114]

@Shadow Daedalus

You're accepted. :3

[Shadow Daedalus]

@Legion-114 Hate to be a pain, but can I add something to my CS?

As a part of his crew, He has a small detachment of droids that function as his squad on ground missions. They all wear the same armour as Khyrr (Khyrr has a rank marking on his left shoulder as proof of leadership) and armed with random weapons he had collected, from DC-15As to E-11s and DP-23s. underneath, they are a mess of droid parts but they function as effectively as military soldiers.

[Charter]

Just a heads up. Currently repainting my room and will be spending quite a bit of my own time doing so. As a result, I may be slow on posting. I've barely worked on my CS to be honest. If you reach max players (if there is a max), feel free to boot me if I take to long.

[Vas Khaleen]

Still open?

[Legion-114]

Still open?

@Vas Khaleen

We are, but character apps go in the OOC until accepted. The bio seems to be a bit thin on the ground if I'm honest. Where and was she doing in the lead up to the fall of Vader and the Emperor? Has she had any notable missions or experiences? That kind of thing. - force sensitive characters need a bit more effort than most as well as how she obtained a lightsaber.

[Joestar]

Interested. Will post my CS in a bit!

Kelim'tel Osdum

Player Name: Joestar
Name: Kelim'tel Osdum
Age: 22
Appearance:

Full Body View(Somewhat large)

Gender: Male
Race: Human (Nabooian)
Force Sensitive Y/N: Y(Albeit he has no idea that he is and hasn't shown any hint of being Force Sensitive, unless another Force Sensitive being has sensed it.)
Equipment:

• An A280 Blaster Rifle - Sometime after Kelim'tel left his home planet of Naboo, he picked up the 'occupation' of a smuggler and scavenger. The small amount of time he spent was looting the remains of Rebel Outposts and Stations alike. During one of his hunts for loot, Kelim'tel stumbled upon the planet of Hoth, and found the remnants of a battle sometime during The Galactic Civil War. It was here that he found the A280 Blaster Rifle and decided to restore it back to a fully functioning condition. He later customized it with his own unique look; the Naboo Royal Family crest, in memory of his home planet that he had left long ago.
• Retractable Vibrosword - As the son of a minor noble, Kelim'tel was taught at a young age how to fight with a blade, since it was "a sport and skill fit for a gentleman." The blade, like many other vibroswords, was made through the Old Republic technique of cortosis-weaving. Able to withstand a lightsaber blow and some minor blaster bolts, the vibrosword is a highly prized weapon of choice for the common melee fighter, even if the likelihood of fighting someone with a lightsaber is extremely rare.
• HWK-290 Light Freighter - As a gift(and a bribe in order for him to join the Imperial Officer Academy), Kelim'tel's father gifted him with the HWK-290 Light Freighter "Star of Alderaan. Although the ship originally had no armament, it was later fitted with four retractable autoturrets(two for each wing, one on the top, one on the bottom) and blasters on the ends of the two wings. Not a very offensive ship, but it tends to get the job done for smaller ships.

Skills:

• Swordsmanship - From a young age, Kelim'tel was taught how to give and recieve a blow with the use of the vibrosword. As the son of a minor noble and politician on Naboo, the cost for his teaching was of no issue, and he quickly learnt the proper use of a blade. Since then, he has taken a liking to the art of melee combat, even if it is inconvenient for someone of this day and age. Give him a choice between a blaster and a vibrosword and he'll more than likely choose the blade.
• Engineering - When you take off on your own to make a name for yourself, it's usually best if you pick up the skills to maintain your ship and equipment before you leave. This was something he learned the hard way. Through constant failure (and a little bit of help), Kelim'tel educated himself on what you should and shouldn't touch, what goes where, and how to fix certain problems. Unfortunately, he has no idea how to turn off that pesky ventilation shaft and it's constant cold air.
• Athleticism - When you place yourself into an area that you're not supposed to be in and you get yourself caught, the only real way to get out without a firefight is to run and not look back. Kelim'tel has had his fair share of fleeing Imperial patrols, mainly just for trespassing due to his curiosity. As he sees it, what's more fun; to fight off your pursuers or slip through their grasp and watch their dumbfounded response?

Strengths:

• The kid hits hard, I'll give him that. - Seeing as how Kelim'tel is experienced enough in melee combat and has toned himself through constant physical activity, it can be safe to assume that when he attacks someone physically, it's going to hurt. A lot.
• He has a good heart... - The idea of being a gentleman was instilled onto him at a young age. Kindness was said to be someone's greatest form of persuasion, his father told him. From assisting the injured, to giving spare credits, Kelim'tel truly does have a good heart.

Weaknesses:

• Aim like that and you'll be lucky if you even hit a crippled womp rat! - While excellent at the use of a blade, Kelim'tel is a 'little lacking' in the blaster department. His aim is fair at best, but he usually ends up missing his intended target on any occasion.
• That's one hell of an ugly scar you got there. Does it hurt? - Even though he can take a good blow before being put down, a nice knock in his scar will make him as useless as a Jedi Mind trick on a Toydarian. In his early days of training with a vibrosword, Kelim'tel was confident that he was ready to proceed to his next lesson; he wasn't. A nasty burn in the form of a slash is etched onto his right shoulder. It hurt to have anything touch it at first, but he slowly recovered overtime. Still, a decent blow to the scar will deliver a sharp stabbing pain through his entire body.

Any opinions or suggestions?

[Legion-114]

@Joestar

It looks very good, but I just realised that I forgot to put history in the application bit :3

[Legion-114]

Hoping to get at least two more players before we start.

@Legion-114

Alright fair enough i can edit, im honestly quite rusty and new to this site.

[Joestar]

Would you like me to add in a History piece or just go ahead and send it to the Character tab? I'm fine with going either way, just want to do what's most convenient for you.

[Legion-114]

@Joestar

It would be nice to have a little history of your character so we get to know them better before hand.

[Joestar]

Alright. I'll get to work on it.

[Vas Khaleen]

@Legion-114 I updated a bit, I like to flesh out my characters through the story more often than not.
