Name: Kytra Alde
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Affiliation: Rebel Alliance
Appearance:

The girl, not the Rodian. She generally avoids the bright orange rebel pilot suit, favouring more muted colours and a more versatile suit in case she needs to go without her ship on a moments notice. She can often be found with mechanics gear (such as goggles) while off duty. While familiar with many of the exotic hairstyles that Alderaanian women of noble houses often wear, she does not usually take the time to do anything with her hair, excepting special occasions.
Equipment:


R2-S8 - ‘Gizka’ an R2 series astromech droid.
Assorted mechanics tools - stored on Y-Wing
Slicing tools
Background:
Born in 30 BBY on Alderaan to the House of Alde, Kytra is one of the latest scions of this noble house, and also one of those least likely to inherit anything at all. Kytra’s life has been marked by this low familial standing, not so much in a negative way as simply having very few expectations assigned to her, a state that grew even more pronounced when, despite the Alde lines tendency to produce Force wielders, she failed to show any signs of affinity for the Force. Thus, her early life was spent largely between either the excellent education the house provided or wandering through Alde libraries, reading about the many heroes that have come from the House in times long past. A youth spent daydreaming of heroes and heroism left her an idealist from a young age.

Kytra was eleven when the Galactic Republic became the Galactic Empire - just old enough to understand the distinction, and while her elders certainly did not encourage interest in politics at such a young age, her Alderaanian education ensured that she could understand some of why they all felt such foreboding at the idea. While she did not change her behaviour based on the knowledge that the Republic was no more, the seeds that would lead her to later join the Rebellion were sowed at this time.

Kytra’s adolescent years saw her become more adventurous, sometimes even being described as thrill-seeking. She learnt to pilot and service landspeeder at a fairly young age, and later even learning to ride the majestic Thranta. As her schooling came to an end, she briefly took up sport hunting, though quickly decided that the killing of largely defenceless animals with blasters was not nearly as fun as it had seemed. Even while all this was going on, she never lost interest in the wealth of information in the grand Alde libraries, though in later years she did not simply read the stories, but tended to search the computer networks of the library for information not generally available, picking up some slicing skills along the way, though this got her in trouble more than once.

Throughout this time, she heard a great deal about the political situation in the galaxy from her family and many others on Alderaan, generally sharing in the views that many on the planet were taking on, the view that the Galactic Empire was oppressive and certainly not a good thing for the galaxy. Her thrill seeking, restlessness and desire for heroics reached a head in ten BBY, shortly after her twentieth birthday. As far as she was concerned, there was a definite enemy in the Galactic Empire, and in fighting them she could go down in Alde history as a hero - perhaps even one of the heroes that restored the glorious Republic. Lacking the Jedi skills that would make her a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, and lacking any real command or infiltration skills, she chose to exploit one of her few real combat applicable skills - piloting. Using the entirety of the pitiful inheritance she had, she purchased a BTL-A4 Y-Wing Starfighter and an Astromech to assist in piloting it.

From there, it was not hard for Kytra to join the Rebel Alliance, as the anti-empire sentiment on Alderaan was strong. Many Alderaanians had been part of the Alliance since its beginning, and using her familial contacts, it did not prove hard for her to find the right people to talk to about signing up. The Alliance recruiters were, as always, overjoyed to receive a new fighter pilot, however lacking in experience she may be, especially since she was supplying her own ship.

It has been five years since she signed up, and since then she has only honed her existing skills to even greater levels. In particular both her piloting and slicing skills have increased, and her usual role in any ground operation she participates in is as the squad slicer. As well, she has learned a great deal from the Rebel mechanics about her craft, and enjoys servicing it herself during her spare time, a fact for which the Rebel mechanics are infinitely thankful for, as Y-Wings are responsible for a huge amount of their workload, and it is not often that the pilots themselves will take the time to keep their ships in good condition.

Reason for joining the Alliance: Wishes to be immortalised as a hero of House Alde, as one who fought the tyranny of the Galactic Empire and prevailed in restoring the Republic.

Accepted
Name: Lieutenant Kieran Anders
Species: Human/Corellian
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Alliance to Restore the Republic - SpecForce - 22nd Division "Endurance"
Appearance:

Equipment:
Currently has:
A280 Blaster Rifle
DC-15 Blaster Pistol
Typically carries 2x Thermal Detonators
1x Detpack
Communicator and a holocommunicator.
Background:
Kieran was born into a middle class Corellian Family. His father worked in constructing vessels for the Corellian Engineering Corporation and his mother was an assistant at a local med-station. When he was 9 the clone wars begun, he heard the tales and propaganda of how the Republic was striking against the forces of the Separatists who sought to divide the galaxy in a bloody war. On Corellia itself there was a strong Separatist movement that never fully came to fruition enough to take over the planet, it was during one of these riots that his Father was killed, and he decided that day that he would try to protect those he cared about.

At the age of 18 the Clone Wars had come and gone and he had joined CorSec. He passed up through the ranks rapidly, mainly through his tactics and reasoning. However as the sparks of Rebellion started things began to change. Orders started becoming more about imprisonment of people without cause than protection. Scenes of crimes were ignored while they instead went after alleged criminals with sketchy details.

He was offered to join the storm trooper corps after he was promoted to Captain however refused, and then left Corellia for Alderaan like many he knew the rumours and the heavy anti-Empire sentiment on the planet. He managed to get his own freighter. Which he sold as soon as he arrived at Alderaan to avoid it being traced back to him, it didn’t take long to find a Rebel cell. In 13BBY he became part of the Rebel Alliance SpecForce regiment. Here he was trained in the various ways of hand to hand combat, maintaining some of the best weaponry the Alliance had and various infiltration techniques. Here he proved himself to be a capable leader and was promoted to a Lieutenant within the Alliance SpecForce branch.

He was given his own squad, and as their first major mission together in 11ABY they were tasked with ”recovery” of a Venator Star Destroyer and as such was temporarily transferred to the 5th Regiment of the SpecForces branch, due to past experience aboard a Venator that was part of Corellias home defence fleet. Masked as a unsuspecting cargoship the pirates forced them to dock, when the cargo was offloaded and stored him and his men moved out of the crates, covering one of his men while they sliced into the security systems the ship locked down compartment by compartment and then it was a simple task of clearing each individual bulkhead.

Though due to an unsuspected Imperial Assault the Venator received damage, however Kieran and his men managed to jump the ship into hyperspace and reach the rendezvous. He was then given command of the 212th Platoon which consisted of five squads, including his own with men from each of the SpecForce regiments due to the fact that the Venator became a mobile training base. In 10BBY the major damage to the hanger was fixed and they began taking on members of the Starfighter Corps and were a major part of several hit and runs throughout the Galaxy, all the while many of the SpecForces came and gone either through death or alternate assignments leaving Kieran to train new members in various methods of combat, as well as performing basic training for other candidates into the program.

Once the ship was combat ready it was key to several raids throughout the Outer Rim and when the intel about Belona came in the Pathfinders were sent, gathered intelligence and then the ship itself was sent, after taking on additional personnel and loading up on supplies.

Reason for Joining the Empire/Alliance: Nobility: He wants to fight for the values that his father was killed for, feeling that he should have actually been on the other side.
Morality: He has seen how the Empire has treated others, and more specifically non-humans and despises it.
Honour: He refuses to just be a pawn for the stronger side.

Females in the Empire typically took on intelligence roles or other logistic tasks. Within the ISB it could range from field agent, desk jockey to pilot. However like the strong anti-alien bias it was a quite sexist organisation and it was often hard for females to advance in the Empire.

Oh, there may be more Rebel PCs but Empire NPCs will out number us most definitely. Don't you worry about that, there could be 100 rebel PCs and we'd be out numbered.

Noooo..... come join the Rebellion! We need more people to make up for the massive logistics and equipment issues we will no doubt be having very early on.
That and I don't want to have the only female character on the Rebellion side of things.

As an interesting side note, is was not, in fact, Palpatine that was responsible for the Empires xenophobia and male dominated military. He didn't really care either way, measuring people more by potential and competance than race or gender. It was largely the fault of his immediate inferiors, Sate Pestage, Grand Moff Tarkin and a couple of others that such laws and prejudices came so strongly into effect.

Also, apparently George Lucas didn't see the Empire as sexist, either! He even said that there were definitely female Stormtroopers out there (it's a big galaxy, after all), and that there just weren't many/any that happened to be stationed on the Death Star. It was in the Expanded Universe that various authors started to call attention to it, with Admiral Dala and such.

Make of that what you will.

Daala. Loved her. Also still yet to see female stormies. I think I'll stick to the sexism, fits the Empire more in my opinion.

I figured you would. But on a serious note, Imperial E-11 blasters have an effective range of only 100 meters, and non-carbine version had excessive recoil, causing troopers to complain about a lack of accuracy (According to wookipedia anyway). So really, we do have an advantage when it comes to range and accuracy.

Didn't notice that there, shoulda told be Enlais :Pdue to the time frame you'll be wearing the actual armour. Shock troopers were the storm troopers of the clones basically. As clones were the bulk of the republic army, Shock and Arc troopers were above that but below commandos.Also can you possible describe/image for what he looks like under the helmet? He's bound to take it off eventually :P


Alright will change pictures soon, and never will he take off his helmet. Lol jk i will write one up a lil later.

Depends on this: Do you want to just patrol or do you actually want to be doing something?
