I'm happy to lose all the time

@quiet hunter Well, it's not much of an RP if the Empire instantly brings a couple of Star Destroyers down on the party. So, point is, somehow the party WILL be getting away most of the time.

[mattmanganon]

@deegee So, any thoughts about my question?

Weird question: Would it be possible to play an Imperial who's chasing the gang? Not necessarily an evil bastard, just the old "Law is the law and the Emperor is the guy signing the cheques. I mean, I'm happy to lose all the time, I just kinda have a hankering for that kind of character.

So, i made a character sheet to give you a better idea of what i'm asking to play.

Boltare Gianno

Boltare

Name: Boltare Gianno
Callsign: Trinity
Faction: Empire
Rank: Flight Captain (Lieutenant equivalent)
Species: Echani
Age: 32, Sex: Male
Height:6'1”, Eyes: White
Physique: Fairly lithe from first appearance, but underneath his clothes he has toned muscular structure.
Hair: White
Skin: Pale
Force Sensitive: No, he has above human reaction speeds, but so do most Echani. Echani are suspected to have an intrinsic link to the force, but it's never been proved.

NPC: Captain Patrick Jericho (Captain of Revenge), Cyclops and Toxin (Wingmen), F61-7 (Designated Protocol Droid)

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:

Ace Pilot: Boltare has been piloting Fighters and one-man ships since he was old enough to reach the peddles. Graduating Skystrike Academy at the top of his class, he spent some time in the covetted Obsidian Squadron but has been passed around.

Unarmed Combat: One of the most important parts of Echani Culture is physical combat. It is said that 2 Echani can share more in 3 minutes of combat than in 10 years of discussion.

Starship Design: Gianno Shipwrights are a small but fairly respected Shipbuilding company and Boltare is the the current heir to the company. As such Boltare has taken an interest in order to fully take over when his mother retires.

Stormtrooper Aim: So, in the skies, Boltares skill is up there with Baron Fel and Anakin Skywalker... But on the ground, his aim with a blaster leaves a lot to be desired.

APPEARANCE:

Boltare is a fairly standard specimen of his species. Reasonably tall, lithe build with crew-cut length white hair and white eyes. He tends to dress rather standardly. Imperial Flight Suit when on duty or his Officers uniform when not in a combat situation. When trying to remain incogneto for missions on the ground, he tends to dress reservedly, simple robes and a poncho. Although whatever he is wearing, he carries a standard issue RK-3 Blaster Pistol on his hip, he very rarely draws it (Primarily because he's not actually that great a shot with it)

BIOGRAPHY:

Born a few years before the Incident on Naboo, Boltare grew up on the Echani colony world of Yuki from a fairly noble family, lower-upper class. Born as the heir to Gianno Shipwrights, a fairly small-sized shipyard that created custom luxury yachts, but during the Clone Wars shifted over to liscence-building Fighters for the Republic. Mostly the V-19 Torrent, before moving onto the ARC-170 in the later war. After the war, they pivotted back towards the Luxury Yachts, but every so often were hired by Kaut and other Imperial yards to help fill large orders for V-Wings, then TIE Fighters. Helping to test pilot these TIE's is where Boltare grew an appreciation of these simple yet effective Space Superiority Fighters.

When Boltare turned 18, much to his mothers chagrin, he was accepted into the Imperial Academy on Caridia. Passing at the top of his class in the Flight School, he was assigned to several squadrons where he proved his proficiency behind the controls of a TIE Fighter. Mostly dealing with pirates, slavers and other undesirables on the outer rim, he proved himself invaluable to his commanders, eventually earning him some higher training at the legendary "Skystrike Academy" where he once again passed top of his class in the Advanced Officer Training program.

Recently, with the Rebellion getting more and more bold in every step (Especially after that transmission from Lothal 2 years back) He has found himself having to deal with heavily armed, converted freighters, maybe even some of those heavily armed and armoured X-Wings. It was recently, at a skirmish with Rebel forces just off of the Rishi Maze, Boltare proved his mettle when he personally destroyed 7 Rebel fighters in 1 sortie. Now, he is being pulled into Rebel Hunting by order of an old family friend, Moff Kohl Seerdon.

I admit, been looking at this thread every now and again. Not sure what exactly I'd ever be playing though, since for the most part the crew seems fairly well-rounded and capable with no clear role to be filled.

@mattmanganon

I didn’t want you to think we are ignoring you. The crew is full at the moment but we may need more later on! Thank you for the interest and will keep you in mind as we float amongst the galaxy!
