It's a dark, dark world.
Mine was the first of the darker ones, just saying ;P
If we get more darker characters I might rewrite my guy into a nicer one (although I'm much better at being a bastard for some strange reason).

The original Ryloth, before Lucas stepped in and screwed up the planet, was disturbingly dark. West End Games, which named and designed the Twi'lek people for the first Star Wars Role Playing Game created a whole ecology around the Twi'Lek and it was them being underground dwellers, raiding and feeding on one another in pure darkness and that bestial nature of the Twi'lek that I loved.
Did you all know that the Twi'lek originally only came in green? Bib Fortuna was an albino and an outcast due to his mutation. The purple, blue and other colours were added later in various comic books. They also changed the entire structure of the planet at some point, turning it from a tidally locked world to a desert planet. This, was a bit frustrating since the West End Games guys put a lot of thought into the Twi'lek. They determined that the Twi'lek lack of hair, the ear cones and the lekku would indicate a subterranean evolution. A sensible supposition. In a sense, Twi'lek were like "naked mole rats". Being subterranean hair was not useful and never evolved but their lekku served as a delicate instrument in detecting the movement of other beings in the darkness.

Is everyone pretty much set and ready to begin? I can throw up the first IC post and you guys can run from there.

I am indeed an Imperial Warlord. I'll set up what I have at some point if you so desire.
Also my char isn't really a dark char, he just isn't very nice. He's probably lawful evil at most.

Haha nice reference there.

Added a new planet, Mandelyk.
Just so everyone is tracking, there are minor factions on each planet that are not fully listed in the opening post. Visiting the planet will open up possibilities to interact with these other factions if you wish.

I didn't know Twi'lek were originally green. I thought blue was their "default" color.
Ready to go, OP.

So the opening crawl is up. As this is a sandbox, freeform roleplay, I will not be posting as my own individual character. I have a stable of NPCs ready at all times to interact with you, as well as a series of plots if you so wish. These plots will depend on your faction, as well as your location. This is going to be very interactive, so feel free to approach me at any time to discuss plot or ideas.

Looking forward to it :)
Name: Furcht
Race: Cathar
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Physical Description: Standing just under 6 feet tall with a rather whiplike frame, he hardly strikes an intimidating figure, until you look at his Icy colored eyes. His fur as a pale white color except for ceremonial black markings on his face.
Faction: Blackstar
Profession: Soldier
Homeworld: Narr Shadaa
Starting World: Corelda
Weapons: A pair of DL-22 blaster pistols in quickdraw thigh holsters. Normally he carries 3 throwing knives but can carry up to 8
Abilities: Furcht is force sensitive, but is unaware of it and has had no training, at this point it just gives him unnaturally quick reflexes and a very crude "danger sense". He is also proficient at freerunning, a skill he picked up in his youth on Narr Shadaa.
Equipment: Lightweight flexible armor designed for maximum mobility while providing adequate protection. A field survival pack containing enough supplies to last him 3 days. Glowrod, Synthrope, 2 spare power packs, and a datapad.
Personality: Extraordinarily loyal to his teammates, he does not enjoy violence, but does see the necessity of it to protect others. Normally quiet, he will speak up for what he believes in if he deems it necessary.
Brief History: Born on the crime world of Narr shadaa, Furcht saw all kinds of bad things happen to decent people and before long decided that someone needed to stand up for them. In the early days he got beat up and pushed aside, a lot, but refused to give in and eventually started making a name for himlef and started making a safer place for the downtrodden. Unfortunately one of the local crime lords didn't approve of this and saw to it that he had nowhere to turn to, the law was after him, criminals hunting him at every turn, he was forced to leave the system.
After drifting for years offering his services where they would be taken he was finally hired by the Blackstar company where he recieved official combat training and equipment. He has been rising rapidly through the ranks and is now ready for his first assignment.

Posted. I assume we can take control of some unimportant NPCs (e.g. the men in the hall in my post)?
GM
Yes, of course you can. Now, I assume from your post that you want me to NPC this Gavine character? Just want to make sure I'm on the right page with this.
