I know I just joined the forum, but mind if I join? I was RPing on another site, but the RP section is almost dead, so I came to this site looking for a new RP site. Here's my idea for a character.
Name: Kal O'twa'la
Age: 32
Sex: Male
Affiliation: Grey Paladin (Republic sympathies)
Physical Description: (roughly like Cable from X-men), Human (assumed full blooded), Caucasian, 5'8, stocky build, 105 kilograms. He wears armor made from the hides of Mynocks, making it more resistant against energy weapons than most natural materials. Bionic left eye and arm, from a particularly serious battle against the denizens of the lowest levels.
Mental Description: Cold and calculating, he cares only about protecting his people, and won't hesitate to kill anyone that threatens them. The harsh life he has lived in the depths of Coruscant have made him a ruthless warrior, at least to any that threatens him or his. He is a talented mechanic and slicer who salvages and repairs what he can in order to make life in the sublevels easier for him and his people.
History: Born on Sublevel 107 of Coruscant to a refugee, he grew up never seeing the sun. At the age of twelve, he ran into a couple hiding out in the higher-up sublevels, a Grey Paladin and a Former Jedi that had left the order shortly after passing the Initiate trials to become a Padawan. They taught him to use the force, and occasionally still instruct him when he has questions, though he chose not to join the Paladins.
When he finally did see the surface at the age of nineteen, he was overwhelmed by the openness of everything. He returned to the sublevels, this time going even deeper to escape galactic affairs, to sublevel 200, and built a community in some of the abandoned storage areas down there and slowly built his society, one based on charity and freedom. When his hunters started running into CIS droid troops, however, he once again decided to brave the surface, if only to end the threat to his people.
Equipment: Carries a 0.7 meter long Vibroblade on his back, a DC-17 blaster pistol (sold to him by a Black Market dealer) hangs on his right side. On his left hangs a blue lightsaber built from salvaged parts, made with a synthetic crystal, grown to mimic those found that are occasionally found in the asteroid fields orbiting stars that have gone Supernova. The crude nature of the lightsaber and the crystal used in its construction, however, means that, though it causes more damage than a typical lightsaber, it quickly depletes the antiquated powercell it was built with.
Other: Force powers: Healing, Electric shock (destroy droid type), force lightning, medium telekinesis
I figured a character like this could show up at the temple to ask for help, and the fact that I'm not quite up on recent events wouldn't really matter.
