[OOC] Star Wars: Rebel Scum | Recruiting because of bailouts.

[mdk]

Slooga. There's a gunfight breaking out and imperials coming, and Byron wants you to get him to the shuttle. Some of the grunts are trying to clear the path while others are covering your back. He's a hutt, so he's slow as balls, pissed off and bloodthirsty, and probably sexist just going off Jabba, so you should have a great time!

@mdk

Right I thought the LT. Was hit.

[mdk]

He can be, if you like. Shoot him at your leisure.

But then that's TWO jobs for me.

TWO.

Will post int he morning.

[HeySeuss]

Yes, we're recruiting characters (since we're losing some players it looks like and will be adding a new round of replacements...heh)

As to the Jedi, the short answer is: definitely not a knight. Too high profile for a platoon of infantry. Besides, a Jedi Knight would have been addressed as "General" in the Clone Wars. Rahm Kota had a force big enough to mount operations that had strategic value to anti-Imperial factions. Jedi work on a higher order than some squad of infantry, basically. That's been canonized time and time again.

Most of the "Jedi" that survived Order 66 were like Mercy Corps types that didn't get chosen as padawans or a youngling that got almost no training, but a Jedi Knight would totally overshadow the RP in the sense that it'd become Jedi Knight WavySabre and the attached squad of Poor Bloody Infantry.

So we're trying to avoid that dynamic, whereas force sensitives are allowed but are probably either unaware of their potential or if they are aware of such, they might well be trying to hide it but certainly don't know much about it. If you've ever read "Starship Troopers" by Heinlein, you'll get a feel for the level we're operating on.

I've read, so an apprentice then. Had a former master that was killed. Knows about it, can't use it really well, but definitely tries to hide it.

Keeps her saber hidden on her person, of course. Very well hidden, and only drawn on dire emergencies.

Would a Twi'lek be fine?

@Feisty-Pants

I'd honestly prefer the sabre to be buried somewhere and inoperable, and the character to have willfully repressed knowledge of the forcce, particularly since the advanced stuff wasn't even taught if they were taken as a padawan. Perhaps her Master was killed in Order 66 and she was lucky somehow, but you might want to explain such luck as something well beyond Force abilities since the Fett Clones were bred to kill the Jedi -- and were very, very, very good at it. If you want to give her neurotic issues about clones, that'll work too.

[Feisty-Pants]

Sounds quite good to me.

I like this idea. :D

I'll begin work on a post shortly. Just let me dump this Slowbro and Ditto into the Breeding Pit, and I'll get to work. ^_^

Hider

Name: Ja'vi Harkan

Species: Twi'lek

Age: 25

Planet of Origin/Birth: Unknown, she doesn't remember.

Force Sensitive Y/N: Yes

Appearance:


(Training Lightsaber is Defunct and hidden.)

Skills/Abilities:

-Healer- Although she is not a masterful user of the Force compared to even a Padawan, Ja'van is able to use it to help hasten the healing of injuries or slowing the rate by which they cause death. Enabling her to buy time to save lives.

-Ja'vi be Nimble, Ja'vi be Quick- Being a creature that is slender and light of feet, she is quite skilled in acrobatic feats. She treads lightly, and is adept in being stealthy and sticking to the shadows in patience waiting for a vulnerability to take advantage of.

-Speeder Bike Pilot- With the uncanny reactivity that force sensitivity has given her, Ja'vi is an insanely skilled Speeder Bike pilot.

-Still Learning the Ways - After abandoning Coruscant and escaping to the outer-rim to try and find and aid rebels, she has restarted the meditations she had came to know as a youngling. It has granted her extremely limited use of the force in the form of slight increases to reaction time and the ability to move small objects with the Force. Though she would only ever use it in the case of a truly dire emergency as it tends to get her noticed more than she'd like.

-Quick Wits that Stay Steady- Even though she is not very practiced on the field of battle, she has the uncanny ability to stay cool under significant pressure. Whether it's the ability to think clearly while under fire and similar situations.

-Small Arms Crack Shot- Having gained some practice while wandering the universe in search of the rebellion, Ja'vi has become quite a decent shot with some of the weapons. Particularly the pistol, as the Rifle often feels to cumbersome for her to like.

-Duelist- Even though she hasn't had much practice with a Lightsaber, she's quite good with various kinds of blades due to her nimbleness and dexterity. She carries a pair of Vibro-Blades (short swords) on her back instead, of which she uses with great effectiveness in close quarters combat. With such fluidity is this, that those who have seen her fight in such a manner oft say that she moves like a Jedi.

Equipment:

- Blaster Pistol x 1
- Vibro Blades x 2
- Standard Issue Rebellion Helmet and Blaster Armor

Psychological Profile:

Calm and steady of mind. Benevolent, but strict. Ja'vi cares deeply for those that surround her and does her best to insure their well being. If someone hurts those she cares for however, her tendencies can swing into the outright defiant...or even ferocious. The Tranquility of the Light Side is hard to instill within her.

History:

Her first memory was the hand of a strange looking man reaching down to her amongst blinding sunlight.

As a child, she was swept up by the Jedi as a recruit during the horrors of the Clone Wars. They had discovered her to be rather credibly sensitive to the invisible will that governed the flow of life and will in the universe. Her midichlorian count was high, but not incredible akin to the masterfulness of Yoda, or the prodigal Anakin Skywalker. She was destined not to become a Master, she was destined to become a Knight.

She was barely a youngling when the insidious Order 66 was issued.

One of the very few fortunate enough to escape into the alleyways of Coruscant in the first few minutes of the Great Purge, Ja'vi lived a fearful life that was constantly on the run until she found someone who took pity on her. A Doctor, a kind, benevolent man who had taken The Doctor's Oath in ages past. He hid her away from those who hunted her, fulfilling the oath that he held concerning helping those in need. She lived in hiding then for many years until her adoptive father decided that it would be safer for them to move to the outer rim.

On the way there, she was separated from him in an unfortunate accident. From then on as a young teenaged girl living on the outer rim, she lived a life of risk and danger of falling into enslavement; until one day she won a Speeder Bike from an unwitting man in a game of chance.

This was the moment that she discovered her knack for such a task. Tearing through jungles and oft escaping death by mere hairs of a distance, the nimble girl took her talents to blurring past on-planet outposts of Imperial Guards as a small-time smuggler of small, insanely valuable and illicit goods.

So competent was she in this, that as she grew older, the former Youngling eventually obtained the attention of the Rebellion. They sought her for her ability to sneak past or outrun those who pursued her. And one day, she awoke not in the hovel of her hideout, but instead a eerily quite and cold chamber with a bag over her head.

Once she stirred, it was removed, and she was suddenly face to face with members of the Rebellion. More than willingly for the sins cast upon her from the past, she joined their cause. Thankfully they did not know what she actually was, and they paid fairly well. Through basic training she never fared well, except for in the close-quarters setting of combat.

There she became known as a monstrosity.

Not much longer, the former youngling would find herself on the front lines of a messy, bloody conflict; and she was more than willing to put her blades to work.

Yes, and:

This is a bit of a writing exercise; how your character relates to the character posted above yours. It should be something incidental, and can easily involve antipathies and disagreements. It's almost like a 'how they met' sort of exercise.

Work in progress!

Younglings don't have lightsabers, lightsabers is the last thing do they prior to becoming padawans. Could be interesting if the saber is a training saber :P

It's cool. Massive Nurd, got all the canon novels/comics so far... and quite a lot of the non canon ones.

S'all good. ^_^

I've seen all the movies and read a few books, I'm not THAT big into it. ._.

Now Lord of the Rings...don't get me started in LotR.

@Feisty-Pants

The LoTR books tho

They're heavy, not physically. Well they are physically if you got the older copies... but bloody hell.

You start reading a paragraph then have to read it again as you're like "Wait, what the fucks going on?"

@Sep

...(I have the older copies. I got them from my Grandpa. <.<; )

I didn't have that much trouble. ._. I loved how they were written, and I try to emulate that style as much as I can. Well, at least attempt.

Getting in depth to detail, immersive and the like.

[Sep]

My problem is I read really fast, and in a book like LoTR you can't really read too fast or you gloss over a bit then you're like "Wait, who the fuck is this guy again?"

Ahhh, I suppose that would be a problem! You've got to savor a good book sometimes. :3

Any word on CS acceptance? Or do I need to do some edits?

@Feisty-Pants

Looks fine.

As a general word, they don't have stormtroopers on site yet...but the backup for the bounty hunters do happen to be COMPFORCE assault troops, who are more enthusiastic than trained. Their 'training' is brutal live fire stuff that favors the lucky rather than the skilled, so they're way more balls than brains.

They do, however, take exception to the way Slooga's offloading their equipment on the black market... ;)

@HeySeuss

Also later you should have regular Imp infantry.

People always forget about the regular grunts...
