[OOC] Star Wars - Rancor Company

[SheriffLlama]

@Sep I'll add a few minor details and get you that roster.

[Sep]

@HeySeussaccepted.

[Lauder]

@Gunther

Hey, you, how would you like a recon squad to be transferred to your platoon?

[Proser]

If you're still open to taking people on I can throw you a PM with some concepts soon.

[Sep]

@Proser Space is going, but there is still some.

You'll probably be the last one until I see what everyone who has already expressed interest is up to.

[Gunther]

Hey, you, how would you like a recon squad to be transferred to your platoon?

@Lauder

The role of Recon was originally conducted by infantry before some genius decided to dedicate soldiers to that purpose. In fact, in WWII, every squad had two soldiers who were dedicated as "Scouts". Their function in the squad was to provide early warning to the squad or platoon during movement.

Would you be interested in taking on one of the squads that are already listed? We can delete my NPCs and add yours. Then when the platoon is deployed, your squad gets all the action because the other three squads are NPC. Currently, the squad or "section" consists of six men lead by a sergeant (section leader) and Corporal (assistant section leader). The other four members are LMGunner, Grenadier and two riflemen.

Would this work for you?

Male

Appearance:
Halliq stands at 1.8 meters when on his toes, which all kaleesh typically do, but at 1.7 if is not standing on his toes. Unlike many of his species, Halliq is thin, having little visible muscle mass. With that said he only weighs about 121 pounds. Halliq has red skin and yellow colored eyes in the same typical kaleesh fashion, though his ears are far shorter than most other kaleesh, who have elongated ears. Halliq has long black hair which he holds in a pony tail. Like most of his species, he wears a mask that covers his face. The mask hold red lines that travel down towards his jaw and black lines that meet up at the forehead of the mask.

Rank:
Private

Role:
Trooper

Unit:
Secone Section, Kanada's First Platoon

Skills:

• Great Tactician
• Phenomenal Sharpshooter
• Trained Swordfighter
• Good Tracker
• Knowledgeable on trapping and ambushing
• Can speak basic and is fluent in Kaleesh

Weaknesses:
Impatient
Halliq is very impatient individual who does not wish to wait in any form, this can often destroy plans and it makes waiting for the bathroom a lot more stressful on the overcrowded ship.

Honorable
While this can be seen as a commendable trait, it hinders Halliq’s combat ability as he will not fight unless he sees it as fair nor will he attempt to retreat unless he is forced to.

Dauntless
Halliq does not fear much and he is unafraid to tackle an obstacle head on, this can lead to the Kaleesh charging head on into enemy forces if he wants to.

Equipment:

• Czerka Arms Outland Rifle
• A180 Blaster Pistol
• Vibrosword
• 2x Thermal Detonators
• Communicator
• Electrobinoculars with Rangefinder

History:
Halliq was born to a small tribe on Kalee, Asphirin, growing up the standard way of life for a Kaleesh man. The first notable event within his life was when he participated in a raid on a nearby tribe, proving his worth as a sniper. He reaped plentiful bounty with his tribesmen, using all that they could to further their own tribe. For many years, this was the case until the newly formed Galactic Empire intervened in a raid, helping a rival tribe to Halliq's own.

The new laws imposed by the Empire had greatly upset Halliq's tribe as it interfered with their way of life as they could no longer attack their rivals as it would be seen as piracy should they continue. For a time, they abided by these laws.

That was until one of the members of the tribe became seen as a traitor to the Empire and associated with the Rebels that sought to oppose the Empire's rule. They requested the acquisition of the suspect or dire consequences would fall upon the small tribe. The tribe so kindly responded by killing the messenger along with two of his bodyguard before letting one escape. It was a mistake to have killed those Storm Troopers as it painted an incredibly large target on all the tribe, however, they prepared themselves. In an attempt to let the women and children escape, the tribe contacted the rebel alliance thanks to the original traitor, Seleen Mardra.

The Rebel alliance arrived to shuttle anyone willing off world, unfortunately, Halliq would not participate in the last stand of his tribe as he was requested to go with the women and children to keep them safe. He obeyed and went them, where the refugees were sent to different cells of the Rebellion for their own safety and promised they would be able to reform when the time was right. Halliq saw this as a chance to fight the Empire, a chance he didn't get to see with many of his tribesmen, thus being welcomed to the Rebellion.

Halliq had been deployed from cell to cell, never really seeing any combat until, luckily, he found himself upon The Keep where he was added in the Kanada’s First Platoon as a replacement for the many losses within the Platoon. He has not been available for the raid at Anaxes due to him being processed into the platoon and his new squad.

Supporting Cast:

Second Section

The Second Section, First Platoon

Sergeant Jyneth Paltoy (F) – 2nd Section Leader, BR
Corporal Aberforth Dalmuth – Asst. Section Leader, 2nd Section, BR
Trooper Guillermo Soltana –2nd Section, LMGunner
Trooper Syani Ortez (F) – 2nd Section, Grenadier
Trooper Marc Valante – 2nd Section, BR
Trooper Halliq Neban -2nd Section, BR

[Gunther]

Lauder, I weep with happiness. Trooper Neban is great!

The fact, he was not present with the unit on Anaxes will set him apart from the others. The survivors are depressed, morose and mourning the loss of their brothers and sisters. Halliq will be viewed as an outsider, maybe even initially outcast, even though his platoon mates really need/want him and more like him. There may be a difference of opinion among the members. Some are happy to see him and some are not.

When the Platoon Sergeant speaks to him, he should learn his skills, I quoted from your CS below. Halliq would become his Section's Designated Marksman. Also, when it comes to assaults, the squad would split into two teams, the Support Team consisting of Corporal Dalmuth, Trooper Ortez and Trooper Soltana; and the Assault Team consisting of Sergeant Paltoy, Trooper Valante and Trooper Neban. Your guy gets to charge into the thick of the enemy and kill Imperials; put that Vibrosword to good use.

@Lauder

The letter "F" indicates the Females of the group.

@Gunther

I am very happy to see you like Neban! He will make his squad the spotlight of the platoon!

@HeySeuss

In that case, I think I'll have my character be a member of the second SpecForce's squad. I was imagining the squad being a jack of all trades sort, so this will work better, not to mention the fact that it creates an interesting dynamic.

[Supermaxx]

Hrm. Since we already have two pilot characters, I might go for a tanker instead.

@chayden13

No problem. Just tell me what slot you want to grab and I'll shift things around for your character. Basically, I'm keeping a certain species balance in there where humans are not the majority of beings in there, though they are three or four members of the squad.

@HeySeuss

Yeah that's perfect for me. I'm working on a human character but I like the assortment of species.

[Sundered Echo]

Dammit Sep. You and your effective targeted recruiting (and re-watching Rogue One today totally had nothing to do with it <.< >.> ).

I shall bring Kytra back and assume command of those Y-wings.... Tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing what our Alderaanian captain thinks about having minor Alderaan nobility on-board.

@chayden13

No problem. If you want to take over the LT spot in the second squad, I can bump the Duros down and remove a Human. I might pull different race members over into Besk's piece of it to make room for whatever you want to do. I definitely want to hang onto the Hutt-space races, the Weequay, Rodian and Nikto, since those are often fringer types, and I want to hang onto the Mon Cal, Aqualish and Nautolan, as they are aquatic races and that gives them a degree of flexibility in terms of inherent capabilities the Empire just wouldn't have.

We could also use a Wookiee, but I held off on that.

@HeySeuss

No, it's fine. My character is a new recruit into the Alliance, so he's just a corporal. And that's funny that you mention a Wookie, because I was thinking the same thing.

[Proser]

What about a Houk? I'm still running concepts by Sep but I might go with one, they're some of the biggest bruisers in the galaxy. Second maybe to the Wookiees on the list of physically strongest species, according to the wiki.

That part is entirely up to Sep.

[Proser]

Of course, it was more in a "would that be useful to you" sense. Sorry to bother everyone!
