Posting shortly

[nitemare shape]

I'm trying to figure out how to move with an arc that I had started with Zugs before he left. Items kind of a big deal so I have some work to do

[Kalistar]

I've decided on a character, and thanks to some important info from 'Shape, I'm putting together the CS now

[Kalistar]

Star Wars: The Rise of the New Empire CS:

Screen Name: Kalistar

Character you wish to play: Senator Serra Eclipse

Race: Human

Faction: Republic

Background (list the history of your character here): Serra is the daughter of Kail and Lara Eclipse of Corellia, who met while serving in the Republic Senate. With politics in her blood, there was little question that she would one day succeed her parents in the Republic Senate. However, few expected her to join the Senate so soon. While on a diplomatic mission to Ziost, the star ship carrying her parents was lost, and all those aboard were believed dead, which left her to take her parents’ place in the Senate. While in the Senate, Serra has done her best to remain true to the ideals of her parents, which has often put her at odds with the (Bothan) Supreme Chancellor Eshka Liska’hag as well as her mentor, (Twi’lek) Vice Chair Val’Sil Zian.

Character Class (choose one): Bureaucrat

Items: Blaster pistol, Corellian freighter, personal security staff

Character Personality (Give a solid description on how your character acts, their morals, etc):Serra is smart, strong, and forceful. She has all of the makings of a true leader. Serra is a skilled diplomat, who is always willing to do what she has to do in order to ensure that the needs of the people are met. However, she is unwilling to compromise her morals and refuses to make concessions that are counterproductive to the task at hand.

Character Alignment (Choose one): Light Side

Sample Post (write a sample post that is at least 4 paragraphs long and containing at least 3 lines of dialogue or meet the RPG Advanced guidelines of 12 lines):

To Serra it seems that sometimes the meetings of the Republic Senate are pointless. Instead of working together to solve the problems facing all of the citizens of the Republic, the various senators and representatives are working against each other to satisfy their own egos, at least enough of them are. While discussing the current issue of increasingly frequent and violent encounters with pirates closer and closer to the Core, Supreme Chancellor Eshka Liska’hag and Senator Salo are constantly butting heads over how to best deal with the situation.

While Serra knows that these are important matters, she has a matter that she would like to see to herself. To her, it is a matter of utmost importance. Recently, she was given information by a friend in Intelligence that led her to believe that her parents may be alive after all. She does not know if the information is true, and she doesn’t want to get her hopes up, but she has to look into it. Unfortunately, Val’Sil Zian, the Vice Chair of the Republic has tasked her with a diplomatic mission to Rodia before she can begin looking into this new information. Rodia is one of several worlds that have been openly discussing leaving the Republic, and Serra has been asked to ensure that it does not happen. Ironically, it was because of her parents that she was chosen for this mission. Her parents had enjoyed a good relationship with Navik Roosh, the Grand Protector of Rodia. Despite the benefit of her name, Serra knows that it won't be an easy mission. The aforementioned pirates have been harassing ships Tyrius System, and the Rodians are less than enthusiastic about the Republic’s ability to protect them. However, more disturbingly, Rodia and several other worlds throughout the Republic feel that the government has lost its way, and has become just as bad as the Empire that it had replaced. Fortunately, that sentiment is only shared by a few systems, however, a student of Galactic history, Val’Sil Zian knows that it only takes a small minority to set into motion an irreversible chain of events that could change the galaxy forever.

As the day’s session comes to a close and Serra makes her way back to her office, she is approached by Val’Sil Zian, who she had been hoping to avoid. Zian looked utterly regal as she approaches, her purple gown a stark contrast to her green skin.

“Serra, are you prepared for your trip?” Zian asks casually.

“Not entirely Val’Sil.” Serra admits. “I was hoping to look into another matter before I left for Rodia.”

“I see.” Val’Sil Zian says. She is well aware of Serra’s refusal to accept her parents’ deaths as well as her numerous attempts to find them. “And what could be so important?” she says, knowingly.

“It’s a- personal matter madam.” Serra tells her.

“I understand Serra, I miss them too. However, it’s been 3 years. It’s time for you to move on.” Zian says as she puts a hand on Serra’s shoulder.

“I’m not so sure that they’re really gone. I’ve come into possession of some new information, and I think that they might really be alive.” Serra says as a glimmer of hope enters her voice.

“Oh?” Zian asks, surprised by what she hears.

“There were reports from Felucia, it’s not much but-” she trails off.

“Serra, if this is true, it’s wonderful news. However, the mission to Rodia is of the utmost importance, sadly, more important that a rescue mission for a pair of missing senators, even if they are your parents.” Zian said with regret. “However, as soon as you return from Rodia, you can go to Felucia. I’ll even send you with some of my personal security.”

“What? Tha-thank you.” Serra said, taken aback by the Vice Chair’s generous offer.

“You’re very welcome, they were very dear to me, as are you.” Zian told her. “No go get prepared, you’ll have to leave within the hour if you are to make it to Rodia in time for your meeting.”

Kalami Manar

Screen Name: Mattmanganon

Character you wish to play: Kalami Manar

Race: Rodian

Faction: Republic

Background (list the history of your character here): You wouldn't believe how scary it is for a small girl to be left all alone, by herself on the streets of Coruscant's seedy underground. Gamblers down on their luck that would shank you just to sniff a credit, Drunken pilots with a "If there's Grass on the Pitch, you play ball." attitude and, every so often, slavers ready to break you in. That is how Mooghi grew up. Her earliest memories were being born to a Freighter Captain and his wife. They left her with her grandmother whilst they went offworld... Unfortunately, her Grandmother died during one of their long haul trips... And to make matters worse, after being 2 months overdue, it was rather obvious that they would not be returning...

Living on the streets, she got involved with a bad lot, becoming a Swoop-gang member. She always had a good heart, no matter how much she peddled Deathsticks or shook the rich down for their credits. When she was 18, she was arrested when she crashed her Swoop into a building, the rest of the gang ran, but her swoop had made a hell of a fireball when it crashed, she even lost most of her right arm in it. She had helped people out of the flames, when she was found by the PDF. In her cell, she was approached by a man that said he liked her attitude and if she ever wanted to do more with her life, that she could always try to join the PDF.

Her time with them was a godsend. She quickly worked her way up the ranks to command a small taskforce taking down one of the larger crime-groups on the planet, under Blarma the Hutt. During her time in the tast force, she showed great combat ability, taking down several of the more notorious bounty hunters on the planet. Afterwards, things quietened down. She was now a big fish in a tiny pond and antsy to get some action. This was when she applied to the Senate Guard.

Ever since then, she has been assigned to protecting diplomats and senators from all over the galaxy.

Character Class (choose one): Soldier

Items:

Senate Guard Robes
Senate Guard Armour
Lightsaber Pike (Blue blade)
Cybornetic Arm with build in blaster
Comm-link

Character Personality: A serious woman, she has been trained for quite some time to be able to fight anyone that might threaten the Republic or her charge. She is a tactically sound woman that always tries to think every attack through fully. She is also a fair pilot, commanding Defenser Squadron, a squadron of pilots that are charged with protecting the senate building. They specialize in Gunships, mainly, but when she is protecting a Senate vessel away from an atmosphere, she usually utilizes a heavily modified, old TIE Advanced, whereas the rest of the squadron usually use the more up-to-date X-Wings..

Character Alignment: Light Side

Do you know how to post pictures on the RPG Boards:



Sample Post: "This is Defenser Leader, all wings report in." she said as the shuttle and fighters dropped out of Hyperspace above Telos." The Comms buzzed as the 8 other fighters reported their ok status. "We'll be coming in in an X-formation, we'll be hitting atmosphere in 45 seconds, I'll head in first, I want Defenser's 5, 6, 7 and 8 covering my entry, 1, 2, 3 and 4, cover the shuttle." She ordered.

The Shuttle fighters maneuvered into formation as they began to enter the atmosphere, the flames as the fast moving fighters hit the atmosphere left scorch marks on the nose and around the cockpit of Kalami's fighter. The ships finally managed to get through the atmosphere and reach the city bellow. They flew down towards the highrise buildings, making their way through the relatively empty skies, the skyways having been closed for their landing. All seemed normal... So far...

The ships flew towards the main government building, Kalami and Defenser's 1 and 2 landed with the shuttle, whilst the rest broke into 2 attack wings of 3 and headed skywards to keep watch. As Kalami descended from her fighter, she looked around. "All seems quiet." she said, the other two pilots drew their pikes and ignited them. They then walked towards the shuttle and and watched the ramp descend so that the Senator could depart. At that point, a man came running from the government building.

"Ma'am!!!" He yelled, he held his arm that was obviously badly wounded. The door opened behind him and a Bith in ragged armour appeared. Kalami raised her arm, the built in blaster extended, but there was no clear shot at the Bith. The Bith didn't share this weakness and shot the running man twice in the back, before retreating into the building. Kalami ran to the man, while the other guard bundled the Senator back into the shuttle. "Dissidents..." he coughed "Trap..." he then let go of his fading life and slumped.

"Dammit..." she said, before getting up. The Dissidents were the reason that the senator had been coming, trying to sort out relief aid for the extreme poverty of the under-levels of Telos. She drew her own pike and headed towards the shuttle. She headed inside and found the Omwati Senator. "Ma'am, i'm going to take the squad and take back the building, one floor at a time. I'll leave Defenser's 7 and 8 to defend your shuttle, please retreat to orbit." The senator shook her head.

"No, I refuse to believe that this cannot be settled without further bloodshed. Please protect me while I enter and talk to their leader." Kalami simply stared at her.

"That would be incredibly dangerous. Far too dangerous for us to risk." she said. "This is non-negotiable, they are extremely desperate beings that simply want to be heard and do not care who has to die for that to happen. Even if its themselves. You will not be able to reason with them whilst they are in the grips of mob mentality. We will have to force their leaders surrender, until then, talk is meaningless." She said. The Senator didn't back down. "We will set our weapons to stun and take their leader alive, then you can convince him to force his men to surrender." she said.

"That..." the senator sighed. "That will be acceptable." Kalami raised her arm and pressed a few buttons. "Pikes away, set blasters to stun." she ordered, the men did as they were told. She then retreaved her comm-link. "Defenser's 3, 4, 5 and 6, land at the government building, it has been taken over by dissidents. Set blasters to stun, we are taking it back without casualties." she said. The Senator bowed to her and she scowled a little under her helmet.
