Sounds good to me.

It doesn't have to be a PC. If you want a PC ask the person in question as that PC probably won't come back.
I figured an NPC would be better, so unless someone wants to volunteer to go the whole POW route with their character, I'll just nab some unknown.
Felix was still looking around at his surroundings having just stepped off of the shuttle. The area was dirty everywhere you looked. Stormtroopers ran by as they were getting into positions; for what no one knew for certain, but Felix had a pretty good idea. Off in the distance he could even here the faint *aaarrrrr* of TIE fighters. He'd only gotten perhaps ten yards from the landing pad before his comlink went off. The short *bee deep, bee deep* sound repeated itself until he finally answered. The voice which was on the other end was very formal. "Mr. Theros, I have your first assignment."
Felix was used to having anonymous people give him orders, but this soon after arriving seemed a bit odd. How did anyone know he was here? "Who is this?"
"I serve under Captain Loretta Riada," the voice on the other end responded. "My name is of no consequence."
He searched his memory but couldn't recall ever hearing the name before. "Am I supposed to know who that is?"
"Let's just say she's someone with authority over you on this world. Your mission is simple; capture a living rebel in the coming combat and bring him to us. After taking the prisoner, you will contact us through this number. Upon receiving your call we will transmit the coordinates of our location to you. Are we understood?" Felix wasn't sure which unsettled him more: the fact that this wasn't the Governor, or the fact that whoever this was knew there was a battle coming.
But of course, what was most important came up in Felix's mind. "Wait just a second, we haven't even talked about my pay. I was supposed to negotiate with the Governor regarding my compensation."
"That won't be necessary in this case, Captain Riada will be paying you for this task personally, and she is very generous. Your work with her and your work with the Governor will be two separate areas. Do everything she asks, do it well, and you will be rewarded." Felix had to admit, the offer sounded too good to pass up. It also sounded terribly suspicious. Thankfully Felix had learned long ago to forget about questions and focus on the credits. He grasped at the necklace still hidden behind his shirt.
"Inform the Captain she'll have her rebel." The man on the other end expressed his gratitude and then hung up. Felix placed the comlink back into his pocket and turned to walk down the dusty street. Questions flew through his mind as they often do, and he ignored them immediately as he often does.

Indeed.
*rubs hands in villain fashion* With pleasure.
@Sep: By "collect a specimen" I assume you mean capture a rebel?
"Mr. Theros." The voice sounded proper, a mixture of aristocratic upbringing and a high level of schooling. His face was clean shaven and his hair was cut short enough to hide under his officers cap. He didn't look very old at all, perhaps in his late twenties, maybe early thirties. "Mr. Theros, we're about to arrive. You asked me to wake you."
Felix rose his head. Somehow he'd managed to sleep aboard the Lambda Class T4-a shuttle with its upright seats. The flight was long, so perhaps sleeping was the best option. The only unfortunate side of that was his neck now had a bad cramp in it. He brought his hand up to massage the now sore part of his body. "So I did." He looked around at his fellow passengers. They were all of them storm troopers, two or three squads worth by the sight of them. The way they laughed and joked told Felix everything he needed to know; they were green. "New recruits huh? Is this their first time out?"
The officer nodded in confirmation. "Belona has been having problems off and on with rebels. The more they organize, the more men we need to bring in to fight them. We've been transporting all sorts of people on and off world for weeks now." The officer opened his mouth to say more, as if there were something different about the passengers he'd had, but he closed it almost immediately. "I think it's best if we talk up front. Your valuables will be safe back here." He was referring of course to the rifle and pack he carried with him. Everything he needed for life away from home was in that pack.
The pair walked up into the cockpit away from the troopers in the main cabin. The officers voice was real low and every bit sincere. "We've received word from the ground; the planet is on alert. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if you got into a firefight upon arriving."
Felix chuckled to himself. "Wouldn't be the first time, and sure wont be the last." He turned to the cabin and looked at the troopers, talking amongst themselves about girls and home and how they wish to fight the rebels. Felix's mood went south thinking about it all. "But this will be their first, and it quite possibly will be their last."
The officer shared his limited knowledge of Belona to Felix just before landing, for which he was most thankful. He complimented the quality of the trip and said his goodbye, walking onto this strange planet for the first time like so many others that day. His rifle was slung over his shoulder, his pistol by his side, and his pack was on his back. If combat was to come, he'd be ready for it. "Now, where to begin?"

Probably should have asked this earlier, what's the minimum number of paragraphs per post? (If there is a minimum)

There will be a specific mission later on for you however you may not have been told that at hte point of heading towards Belona. Also what I meant by the first part is I don't mind him being famous I just mean he isn't likely to be intergalactically famous as in everyone everywhere knowing he is. You can probably expect some people on the planet to know you but not as many as you would if you were one of these bigger guys.
Oh ok, that's much clearer.

While I don't mind you being "Well none" this shouldn't be anywhere near the level of the likes of Boba Fett, IG-88 and such. Though I presume you know that.
Also the Empire has deep pockets my friend, I doubt you have any dealings with the Emperor himself. More likely I feel it is that you will have been hired by the governor of Belona specifically or someone there which seems more plausible than being on the payroll full time. If you want there will be a contract that is an important plot point though just mention that much and when the RP starts you'll just be arriving at the planet and you'll be given more information IC if that works better for you :P
I'm not entirely sure what you meant in the first part. I assume you mean I shouldn't be on their level skill wise; if so don't worry, I planned on having my guy like mid-level as bounty hunters go.
As far as the second part that's actually what I had in mind (I doubt very many people at all have dealings with the Emporer personally). I figured my character has been hired by various officials in the past to do this sort of work, and that in this case it's the Governor contracting him to help support Imperial forces as he sees fit.
Name: Felix Theros.
Species: Human.
Gender: Male.
Affiliation: Bounty hunter under the Empire's payroll.
Appearance: Brown hair with blue eyes, physically fit, six feet tall, light tanned skin, and the Mandalorian symbol tattooed on his right shoulder. Felix typically wears dull colored clothing, usually browns, blacks, and greys. He wears military grade boots and jacket which appears to have had it's insignia ripped off.
Equipment: Blastech DLT-20A Laser Rifle, DL-44 pistol, and several thermal detonators. Also carries a comlink, a grappling hook, and a pair of cuffs for restraining captives.
Background: Felix grew up on the under levels of Coruscant for the early years of his life. Growing up around poverty he quickly learned the value of a credit. His childhood was full of hard fights and getting into trouble. Felix began making money dealing in narcottics. At 18 he caught his first bounty by pure coincidence. The criminal had stumbled into a bar already drunk and bragging about the price on his head. Felix took the initiative and beat him unconcious, then taking the man to the authorities. That's when he learned there was more money in catching criminals than in being one. He used the reward money to buy some stolen Imperial weaponry and began hunting full time. Becoming well known near the age of 21, the Empire began hiring him out to help support Imperial forces in putting down insurrection. His recent mission has him travelling to the planet Belona.
Reason for Joining the Empire/Alliance: "It's just another payday for me. The Empire says 'shoot' and I shoot...... In all honesty, I work for the highest bidder, and the Emporer has some deep pockets. As long as I get paid, I don't care who I am fighting or who I am fighting for. If the Rebels had money, well maybe you'd see me with them instead. Maybe. However, it's still a suicide mission for them if you ask me."
Sorry it's short, I'm typing on my phone. I'll probably be tweaking bits of it over the next few days or so to make it better. If I need to change anything or if this doesn't work for you, let me know.
