No worries man, as long as the interest still remains high enough to keep it going =). Also, I might as well post my character here now as well. If you guys believe I should write up some Character Sheets for the other squad members, just let me know. Otherwise, I can just let their personalities be known through the course of the RP. Also, feel free to let me know if I make any mistakes lore-wise. I'll admit that I'm not the most knowledgeable Star Wars fan.
”Why don’t you try shooting the enemy instead of just spotting them?”Name: RC-4129 “Spotter”/”29”
Age: Accelerated aging has made his age ambiguous, though he looks to be in his late thirties
Sex: Male
Affiliation: Grand Army of The Republic, Commando Squad Leader
Physical Description:
Underneath the armor, he resembles every other Clone in the GAR. Though he is bald, and has a tattoo of a third eye on his forehead.
Mental Description: Trained with his squad from his days as a child on Kamino, Spotter has a strong bond with them. He is willing to put himself in the line of fire for his squad, but he also believes them to be capable enough to complete their duties. Excelling in psychological analysis during his training years, Spotter is able to predict the behavior of both allies and enemies, and often takes that into account for his next move. As a Commando, he is hardwired to follow orders to the letter, and often will not care for the loss of allies as long as it helps get the mission done. However, he is also granted a mind slightly more independent than other Commandos to allow for advanced tactics on the battlefield. It is only when his squad is on the line that he begins to question commands. But like every clone, his loyalty to the Republic comes before any personal agendas.
History: Born and raised on Kamino, his role in the GAR was decided for him as he began commando training at an early age. He gained mediocre marks on many technical and combat exercises, and for a while they were unable to find anything special about him, other than an above average ability for psychological analysis. It was during his combat simulation training that he shined.
He showed exceptional skill in locating enemy targets and points of interest. They tested him further, and very few objects managed to escape his heightened awareness. He excelled even further when put in charge of his squad for the simulations. His skills in psychological analysis were honed, and he managed to both predict and counter several tactics thrown against his squad. His ability to spot both physical targets and enemy battle tactics earned him the nickname: “Spotter”.
His and his squad’s first taste of battle, like many other clones, was the bloodbath during the Battle of Geonosis, after being assigned into the Special Operations Brigade (as many other commandos). The confusion of the hastily ordered attack on the CIS planet resulted in many casualties, but through skill and luck, Spotter’s team, Kappa Squad, managed to get off the planet alive while completing many (though not all) of their objectives. A few superiors took note of their squad’s ability to be able to formulate and execute battleplans on the field as the situation changed, and they found themselves being sent into quite a few high-risk operations throughout the Clone Wars. They fought behind the scenes in the liberation of Ryloth, assisted in the defenses at the Battle of Kamino, and saw action on the dark moon of Umbara.
Umbara was where Spotter’s abilities were put to the ultimate test. Facing an enemy that they had little to no information about, and working with no reinforcements and jammed communications, Kappa Squad had to take in and use new information during every second of a firefight. New hostile weaponry forced them into hiding into any corner they could find and re-evaluating their situation. Once they had a new plan, they would start moving again, until another unexpected element stood in their way. Eventually, they managed to succeed in destroying an Umbaran munitions facility, and weakened the enemy forces enough to give the GAR a better chance to assault the capital. They managed to emerge from the moon alive, though they were both physically and mentally bruised, battered, and battle-weary.
They had a few other close calls, but somehow, they would always manage to get every member of the squad back alive.
Now, they are being called into action on the capital planet of Coruscant as the Droid Army makes landfall. With odds so overwhelmingly stacked against the Republic, Kappa Squad may end up being forced to choose between Orders and Brothers...
