Star wars: The End of an Era

Master Kiana

Name: Kiana
Race: Dathomirian
Age: 238
Sex: Female
Affiliation: Jedi
Rank: Master/General
Physical Description:



Mental Description: Although she has been with the Jedi Order for over 200 years, she still considers herself somewhat an outcast within the order. She is also not the most... Upholding of the code. She does care for the order, knowing that without them, she would be consumed by hate. But at the same time, she is in a secret affair with Canderous, her Clone Commander, who she feels unwavering love towards.

Due to her actions during the Stark war, she has little confidence in her ability to command men. She usually leaves the actual commanding of the troops to Canderous whilst she is leading the charge.

History: Born on Dathomir, she was born into a Witch Coven, she grew up learning to control the Dark Side of the force. She grew strong in the Dark Side of the Force. When she was 20, she was sent to assassinate Jedi Master Plo-Koon, and failed. She was taken prisoner and exposed to the ways of the Jedi. All of her life, she had been taught that hate and passion were the only true means of attaining power, but here were the Jedi. They were the most widespread and powerful force weilding groups in the universe, who showed compassion to others. Perhaps, their way of doing things was the true way forward.

At first the Council forbade her entry into the order, the Witch's of Dathomir were known for their deceptiveness, but feeling no ill intent in her wish to join, Master Yoda accepted. She was placed under the direction of Jedi Master Plo-Koon, who taught her the Jedi way. Over the years, she fought for the Jedi for over 2 centuries. Although, she showed during the Stark Hyperspace War that she was rather a brash commander, her actions, though effective, showed that, as far as she had come, she was not ready to command many yet.

When the Clone Wars broke out, she was unavailable for the assault on Geonosis. But soon after, took command of the 139th and took part in a campaign to try and take

Canderous

Name: Name: CC-0023 (N-8) "Canderous"
Race: Mandalorian (Clone)
Age: 15 (Physically 30)
Sex: Male
Affiliation: GAR
Rank: Commander
Physical Description:



Mental Description: A Commander that fights with the ingenuity of the progenitor. Unlike his brothers, he is not bound by the programming of the Kaminoans. As such, he will question orders and often come up with his own way of doing things. This has made him somewhat a notorious member of the army. His strategies seem to be inconstant flux. Sometimes fighting with everything and wasting no expense to assure victory, but other times, he will fight to make sure that the battle ends with as many of his brothers safely returning home, as possible.

History: Although officially, only 6 Null class Clones survived the incubation process, a 7th was saved by their creator, his embryo kept in chemical stasis, then placed into the first batch of commanders. His creator believed that by allowing him greater freedom, he could become one of the greatest commanders that the Clone army had ever produced, thus proving that his Null's were not as poor an idea as originally thought.

Growing up, he managed to pass out of the clone training at the top of his class, due to his out of the box thinking. His most notable act was to sabotage the final test, slicing the droids before the test so that they would assist his team, rather than hinder them. He

Need to finish your thoughts ;)

Felicia

Name: Felicia Steele

Race: Human

Age: 34 (26 BBG)

Gender: Female

Affiliation: Jedi

Rank: Jedi Master/General

Physical Description: What she looks like, what she wears, alternate outfit

Mental Description: Felicia believes that there is absolutely nothing positive or negative about the Force, it is the individual's actions that are positive or negative. Her unorthodox approach to the Force kept her permanently at odds with the Jedi Council. She preferred to stop a threat before it was a threat, or in its infancy, the Council disagreed, leaving Felicia to no choice but to set out on her own. She is also open about her opinions to the point of tactlessness.

History: Felicia was discovered to be Force Sensitive at the age of six. She spent most of her time as training padawans, she used to keep count of the number of padawans but she lost count. She was promoted to master two years before the Battle of Geonosis. During the Battle of Geonosis she was investigating a matter of import to the council. Her investigation lead to unsatisfactory results she could find no evidence to support the information from the Council's visions. She did rescue a young woman, Talyssa Hawkethorn, who showed potential in the force. The council would not support her training this young woman. Talyssa was too old by normal standards. Talyssa was already tapping into Force on rare occasions, if left alone she would continue to grow in power and potentially become a threat. Felicia had three choices leave Talyssa, kill her, or train her. Felicia found the thought of killing Talyssa distasteful and the thought of leaving Talyssa to possibly fall to the so called Dark Side was not an option in her opinion. That left Felicia only one option train Talyssa in the ways of the Jedi, so she could harness the Force for good instead of harm. Felicia spent most of the war in the outer rim training people to hide and defend themselves from droids. She also trained them to build shelters, to take refuge in. At night she trained Talyssa.

Equipment: Dual Lightsaber/Blaster Hybrid (capable of interlocking to become a Double-bladed Lightsaber)
*The blades are electric blue in color.
*They feature a built-in length adjustment setting, but also are dual-phase allowing for rapid transitions between two sets of preset lengths. She chose the standard blade length and shoto length.
*They incorporate the Bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse so they can function underwater.
*They incorporate the trapped grip modification.

Her armor incorporates vambraces in each arm, they are capable of withstanding the cutting power of Lightsabers.

Talyssa

Name: Talyssa "Taly" Hawkethorn

Race: Zeltron

Age: 16 (9 BBG)

Gender: Female

Affiliation: Jedi (uinofficially)

Rank: Padawan (uinofficially)

Physical Description: What she looks like & what she wears

Mental Description: Like most Zeltrons, Taly was fond of partying, and although she would later pursue a career in her life, this liking would never disparate. Her wardrobe contained a wide range of tight and revealing attire for everyday use, swimwear, armor, and various other occasions. Additionally, her usual clothing was fashionable, flashy, and bright, often in neon colors similar to her own natural tones. Additionally, her species could generate pheromones to enhance their attractiveness, and had the empathic ability to read and feel the emotions of others. This made her very persuasive. She also sought to meet her sexual desires. One of Taly's greatest traits was her loyalty to her friends.

History: Taly was born into slavery. Around the time she reached puberty her owner fell into financial trouble. He was forced to sell almost everything to settle his debts and stay alive. As a result Taly was sold to a man who was looking for female dancers. He trained Taly to steal from her targets as she danced for them. Around the age of fourteen she began to display telekinetic abilities, a Jedi Master caught wind of her and bought Taly's freedom. Taly was grateful but apprehensive in learning the ways of the Force. Felicia as able to convince Taly it was in her best interest. While Felicia did whatever she did, Taly was put in charge of looking after & defending the next generation while the elders worked with Felicia, at night Taly was trained to do more than just randomly flinging stuff around the room with her mind.

Equipment: Double-bladed spinning lightsaber
*The blades are electric pink-purple in color.
*They feature a built-in length adjustment setting, but also are dual-phase allowing for rapid transitions between two sets of preset lengths. She chose the standard blade length and shoto length.

Beast

Name: RC-0666 aka Beast

Race: Human clone

Age: 17 (appears 37) (9 BBG)

Gender: Male

Affiliation: Grand Army of the Republic

Rank: Republic Commando

Physical Description: Experimental Mark V Katarn-class commando armor

Mental Description: Though a natural leader, he was relatively taciturn and often when he did speak, it was usually to issue an order to his squad. He had earned the respect and loyalty of his squad, and did his best to repay their faith in him with strong, effective leadership. He cared a great deal for his squad mates, like most other clone commandos, viewed his team as brothers. He is a soldier who believed in doing his job by the book, Fixer was gruff and preferred calling his squad mates by their numerical designations while in combat, rather than by their acquired nicknames. He has a powerful drive to succeed, believing that any failure of his would be letting down his training sergeant and disappointing him.

History: Beast was in one of the first batches of clone commandos to be born. During his training in the Killing House he was a part of seven squads, this training resulted in sixty-five percent of his brothers being killed. He was repeatedly tortured to near death so he could resist interrogation. By the time he participated in the First Battle of Geonosis his squad was compromised of the survivors from four different squads. He spent the first four years of the war fighting all across the galaxy mostly in the Outer Rim. The following year he replaced one of the Mandalorian mercenaries that was killed in a suspicious training accident. Beast covertly investigated the death and found the culprit, another Mandalorian mercenary was responsible for the murder after he was discovered selling secrets to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He spent three years training Clone Commandos. He was eventually recalled to the front lines closer to Coruscant leading a squad he recently trained. Their last mission before the Second Battle of Coruscant was successful but left two commandos dead, and the last was paralyzed. Beast was sent to Coruscant for a formal inquiry to investigate loss of life in a mission that was supposed to be a cake walk.

Equipment: DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System, DC-15s side arm blaster, garrote, retractable vibroblades built into the knuckle plate of each hand & Commando recon droid
His experimental armor was made to incorporate all previous upgrades and specializations:
*It was reinforced against Verpine shatter guns and EMP weaponry.
*It was made resistant against ordnance up to laser cannon rounds and light grenades.
*It was designed for deep-space and aquatic infiltration, featuring a fully-pressurized suit with a greater oxygen supply.
*It was made from a special stealth alloy that shielded the armor against sensors and made the wearer almost invisible to the naked eye.
Beast on his own added vambraces to each arm, they are capable of withstanding the cutting power of Lightsabers.

@Revans Exile

Alright, I'll throw my hat in the ring as a clone trooper, since we now have a good share of force users.

Name:ARF-1352 "Paladin"

Race: Human

Age: 17

Sex: Male

Affiliation: Grand Army of the Republic

Rank: Lieutenant of 1st Platoon, Bravo Company, 21st Nova Corps "Galactic Marines"

Physical Description: Distinguishes himself from his clone brothers by shaving his head bald and adorning his arms with Mandolorian tattoos. He also has a large tattoo of the Republic's Insignia on the back of his head.

Mental Description: CT-1352 was born in 31 BBY, being in the second batch of clones the Kaminoans made for the Republic. During training he was assigned to Gamma Squad, where he earned his nickname due to his skill with vibro blades. He was originally trained to be a Clone Assassin, but tests showed he did not have the fanatic loyalty needed for the role, and was transferred to Advanced Recon Force as asn Infantry Scout.

Paladin was commissioned late into the first year of the war, and put under the command of Jedi General Pong Krell as an advanced recon scout. He survived two months under the ruthless general, a feat which made him a respected veteran in his high casualty unit.

During the Battle of Umbara, he and his squad were ordered to scout out the Umbaran Capital by General Krell. The two day march to the city claimed the lives of the rest of his Squad, turning his assignment into a solo mission. He scouted out the city, placing bombs and killing Umbaran militia along the way. The intel he collected proved invaluable to General Kenobi when he began his assault on the city.

Following the betrayal and subsequent death of General Krell, Paladin was transferred to Ki Adi Mundi's command and served in the famed Galactic Marines. His skill with vibro blades proved invaluable in the close quarters combat of boarding actions.

Paladin continued serving in the Galactic Marines for a number of years, seeing action on numerous planets, most notably Mygeeto. During his time with the Marines he had risen to the rank of Captain and commanded an aggressive Vanguard company.

Following the death of Palpatine, the Republic and the Jedi realized the growing danger presented by "rogue assets". A task force was formed, combining the small numbers of Covert Ops and Clone Assassins into a new division, called Clone Sentinels. They also put out a call to volunteers for the new regiment, a call which Paladin answered.

Sentinels were tasked with huntinbg down rogue force users, clone deserters, and Separatist leaders, as well as dismantling Palpatines massive network.

Due to his rank and experience, Paladin was given command over the wetwork operations of the division. Using unconventional weapons, such as slugthrowers, flamethrowers, and vibroblades allowed the Sentinels to hunt down the dark Jedi followers of Palpatine, and even drive the Nighsisters into hiding.

Things turned sour for Paladin during his hunt for rogue Jedi Barriss Offee. After receiving intel that said Offee was on a transport vessel, Paladin ordered the craft shot down. However, examination of the crash shippeds showed Offee was never on board, and it was indeed merely a transport vessel carrying ten families to a new colony.

Following this, he requested his own court martial, but was denied due to his exlempary service. He fell into a deep depression, and grew more and more reckless during operation, constantly endangering his own life.

His descent of self-destruction was only stopped when General Ki Adi Mundi's himself confronted him and convinced him to reenlist back with the Galactic Marines. He agreed, on the condition that he be demoted to lieutenant, and be allowed to train one platoon with the new techniques he used during his time with the Sentinels.

Mundi's agreed to both requests, and Paladin has been serving under him since.

Equipment:

Specialized Maroon Marine Armor

Synthmesh Helmet

DC-17M Blaster

Custom made vibroblade, "Droid Bane"

Bandolier

Thermal Detonator (With remote Detonator)

Willo Asayy

Appearance

Name: Willo Asayy

Race: Vahla

Age: 20

Sex: Female

Affiliation: Sith

Rank: Cultist, fanatic

Physical Description: Like most Vahla, she’s tall and lithe, though admittedly shorter than what could be considered standard. Her skin is a chalk white, unnatural and eerie to look upon. Her eyes are wide and violet in color, and sharing gazes with her might lead one to think that she’s constantly longing for something. Her hair is black and medium length.
She most often wears standard swordsman’s robes, black in color and without a cloak. A waist coat falls behind her legs though as a harken back to old sith attire.

Mental Description: Willo believes in only one thing, the Sith Code. The mantra that led many to greatness and even more to doom has become her guiding light in life. She strives to become powerful beyond historical measure, and raise the sith order up from the shambles of its current state.
She’s often jovially distant, but harbors a disdain for those who bring shame upon the code.

History: Willo remembers little of the time before her devotion to the code. The farthest her memory reaches is to her arrival on Korriban under the tutelage of a man who promised her freedom. She remembers training tirelessly from the time she was a child until her progression into a young woman. She remembers the pain of learning, and the power that came from overcoming it. She remembers reciting the code for days on end until she collapsed from exhaustion, and then waking to do it again.
The man was never pleased, no matter how loud she screamed or how hard she hit, when they trained he would ask for more until she could give him nothing. When she was disarmed he would singe her hand, when she lost her footing he would make her hold a wide stance for hours until her legs felt as dust. Her choices were to learn or be cut down, and so she learned.
By the time she turned eighteen Willo was able to hold her own against her master, and that year he pushed her past any limit she still possessed. Her losses would result in beatings more severe than she had ever received, but her victories rewarded her with strength, and passion.
When she turned nineteen, she truly bested her master. Their duel had taken a ferocious turn, as they tended to do, and at last Willo managed to disarm him. Quite literally she removed his arm, and then she removed his head.
It had been easy, in fact it had been easier than she’d anticipated. When he fell to his knees and looked up at her, she saw the weakness he berated her over for years and years. It had starved in her and sought refuge within him, and so she saw the chance to rid herself of it forever.
There would be no weakness in the Sith. What had fallen was unworthy of the code it had been based upon, and so she would not reform but form anew an order to live up to it.
Willo set out with this cause in mind, the weak who still paraded around in the Sith name would be culled. Only the strong, the truly strong would remain, and the galaxy would finally come to heel beneath the natural order.
Presently she is masquerading as a Dark Jedi, aiding in the assault on Coruscant. Though she has little interest in the outcome of the attack, it does provide a means of scouting for potential recruits to the new cult. As well, it never hurts to weed out a few weaklings and blasphemers along the way.

Equipment: One single-bladed lightsaber, red. The handle is plain and black, with no markings or other colorations upon it. She carries nothing else with her apart from her

Other: Willo is an exceptionally skilled duelist, and prefers to handle opponents one on one.

@Mcmolly

All well! ACCEPTED

On a side note, let me expand on what the Blackguard is (my characters faction) and what they stand for. Just so you know :)

The Blackguard are a group of force sensitives that view both sides of the force, light and dark, fundamental for balance. In fact they only view it as "the force". The most apt comparison is with the old Je'daii order (precursor to the Jedi). It is because of this they view both the Sith and the Jedi as threats to the force, and the only reason they have risen to the task of leading the CIS in the wake of the fall of the Sith is because of the massive imbalance in the force. They seek to either abolish, or eradicate, the Jedi.

Just so you know.

Varik Tharn

Name:
Varik Tharn

Race:
Human

Age:
34

Sex:
Male

Affiliation:
Jedi / CIS leanings

Rank:
Master

Physical Description:

Him

Minus the large face scar.

His robes

They'd be the third from the left / second from the right, on the top row, but with a hooded cloak like robes next to them.
The lighter spots are gray, and the darker spots are black. Pretty much exactly how they look.

Credit:https://jasonbarlowartist.wordpress.com/

Mental Description:
As a 'Gray Jedi,' others would claim Varik walks the line between the Light and Dark sides of the Force. The way he sees it, the Force is neutral, and doesn't require a commitment to either side. He's even gone as far as to codify his beliefs:

'Amidst emotion, seek serenity.
In serenity, seek passion.
With passion, seek knowledge.
With knowledge, seek balance.
Through balance, know the Force.'

He was raised in traditional Jedi beliefs, although he always questioned some; namely denying passion and emotion. He can be considered very similar to Qui Gon Jinn, except Varik is pushing even further away from the direction of the council than Jinn had. Varik is very progressive, considering the traditional nature of the Jedi. The council is wary of this, though they (barely) tolerate it because of his continued resistance to corruption.

Despite his disagreements with Mace Windu, his influences on Varik are abundantly clear. He's inherited a confidence in his abilities and the courage to match. He's humbler than Windu, less prideful (though this may be justified. Despite Varik's high skill level, Windu is still the superior dueler). While they both believe that Jedi should serve the people of the Republic, Windu feels the need to preserve the Republic at all costs to protect the people, Varik feels that the people should be allowed to make the choices of what they need for themselves (including breaking from the Republic, now that the Sith are removed from the equation).

As a person, he's very even-tempered, and open-minded. He's very flexible and patient with other people. He does have the tendency to overthink things, and for better or worse, is a bit of a romantic. He's in-tune with his emotions, embracing them rather than shutting them in. He keeps himself in balance with both the dark and the light with intense mental focus.

History:
Varik was born to the Tharn family, a young couple of farmers in Naboo's Lake Country. As he matured, he started showing signs of Force sensitivity. Not wanting to lose their boy, the Tharns were reluctant to call attention to it, but it was only a matter of time until it was noticed. One of the neighbors summoned the Jedi to investigate, and they were able to talk Varik's family into giving him up for Jedi training. They would miss their son of course, but took pride in knowing that one day he'd be a great Jedi himself.

He took the training easily enough. He was as talented with the Force as any initiate, but his dueling skills were exceptional enough to be noticed by Master Mace Windu during the selection of padawans. During this time, he trained extensively in dueling alongside his master, in several forms with different weapons. In time, he chose the saberstaff as his preferred lightsaber. After studying the weapon's origins, he built the hilt to shorten/extend like Exar Kun's original model, so it could be used either as a saberstaff or a single lightsaber. He also started carrying a second standard lightsaber, not only as a backup, but to allow him to dual-wield when it would prove more efficient.

Throughout his Jedi Trials, Master Windu became increasingly worried of his student's closeness to the dark side. He was eventually able to teach Varik (with an immense amount of effort on both of their parts) a very basic technique of battle meditation, just enough to clear his own mind of an emotion gone too far. A failsafe, really, to ensure that if he happened to trip while walking the line, he'd fall towards the light side. Nevertheless, he never lost his way, and was promoted to a Jedi Knight with no major issues.

Soon enough, the Clone Wars began. There isn't much to say specifically, other than that he participated in just about as many battles as most of the other Jedi had. He was promoted to Master for his actions in the war shortly before Mace Windu ended Palpatine's life. However, the war continued past that. Without the Sith backing the Separatist Movement, though, Varik struggled to come up with a reason to disallow them from removing themselves from the Republic. After all, the Jedi's obligation was to the people, not the government. If the people felt it was best for them to go, then they should be allowed to make that choice for themselves. He's continued fighting for the Republic, but it seems the longer he fights, the less he feels he's doing the right thing...

Equipment:
He carries two lightsabers:
- His go-to is a yellow saberstaff, similar to Exar Kun's in that the hilt is extendable rather than stuck in 'saberstaff' size.
- The other is a standard lightsaber with a purple blade, for back-up / dual-wield purposes.

Note, he does NOT dual wield them while the staff is extended. That would be ridiculous for a human.

Other:
- His force abilities on either side are really nothing special.
- All he'd need to switch sides is the right kind of push.

@Exodus

First impression: Is that Spartacus as a Jedi? I was tempted to accept just because of the way it looked.

Then i read it and ACCEPTED it all the same.

Star wars: The End of an Era

Yeah I'm using my old character. Accidentally typoed "cold" there, haha. Anyway, here he is. Along with his squad.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

”Why don’t you try shooting the enemy instead of just spotting them?”
– Fellow clone commando regarding Spotter’s behavior during their first combat simulation exercise

Name: RC-4129 “Spotter”/”29”

Age: Accelerated aging has made his age ambiguous, though he looks to be in his late thirties

Sex: Male

Affiliation: Grand Army of The Republic (GAR)

Rank: Clone Commando Squad leader

Physical Description:


Resembles every other Clone in the GAR. Though he is bald. His armor is plain white, but has a red "third-eye" marking on the forehead of the helmet

Mental Description: Trained with his squad from his days as a child on Kamino, Spotter has a strong bond with them. He is willing to put himself in the line of fire for his squad, but he also believes them to be capable enough to complete their duties. Excelling in psychological analysis during his training years, Spotter is able to predict the behavior of both allies and enemies, and often takes that into account for his next move. As a Commando, he is hardwired to follow orders to the letter, and often will not care for the loss of allies as long as it helps get the mission done. However, he is also granted a mind slightly more independent than other Commandos to allow for advanced tactics on the battlefield. It is only when his squad is on the line that he begins to question commands. But like every clone, his loyalty to the Republic comes before any personal agendas.

History: Born and raised on Kamino, his role in the GAR was decided for him as he began commando training at an early age. He gained mediocre marks on many technical and combat exercises, and for a while they were unable to find anything special about him, other than an above average ability for psychological analysis. It was during his combat simulation training that he shined.
He showed exceptional skill in locating enemy targets and points of interest. They tested him further, and very few objects managed to escape his heightened awareness. He excelled even further when put in charge of his squad for the simulations. His skills in psychological analysis were honed, and he managed to both predict and counter several tactics thrown against his squad. His ability to spot both physical targets and enemy battle tactics earned him the nickname: “Spotter”.

His and his squad’s first taste of battle, like many other clones, was the bloodbath during the Battle of Geonosis, after being assigned into the Special Operations Brigade (as many other commandos). The confusion of the hastily ordered attack on the CIS planet resulted in many casualties, but through skill and much luck, Spotter’s team, Kappa Squad, managed to get off the planet alive while completing many (though not all) of their objectives. A few superiors took note of their squad’s ability to be able to formulate and execute new battleplans on the field as the situation changed, and they found themselves being sent into quite a few high-risk operations throughout the Clone Wars. They fought behind the scenes in the liberation of Ryloth, sabotaged CIS ships during the Battle of Kamino, and saw action on the dark moon of Umbara.

Umbara was one of their few toughest battles. Facing an enemy that they had little to no information about, and working with no support from the main invasion force and jammed communications, Kappa Squad had to take in and use new information during every second of a firefight. New hostile weaponry forced them into hiding into any corner they could find and re-evaluating their situation. Once they had a new plan, they would start moving again, until another unexpected element stood in their way. Eventually, they managed to succeed in destroying an ammunition and weapon supply base, and weakened the enemy’s overall firepower to give the GAR a better chance to assault the capital. They managed to emerge from the moon alive, though they were both physically and mentally bruised, battered, and battle-weary.

They had a few other close calls, but somehow, they would always manage to get every member of the squad back alive. Now they are being called into action on Coruscant as it comes under siege by the CIS army that has become more powerful than ever before.

Equipment:
- Katarn-Class Commando Armor Mark-II
- DC-17m (Blaster/Sniper/Anti-Armor attachments)
- DC-15s Side-arm blaster
- Arm-Gauntlet Vibroblade
- Thermal Detonators
- Helmet-mounted Rangefinder (Target-Tracking abilities)
- Breaching charges
- His team: Kappa Squad

”Don’t worry, we don’t need a clear signal with him around.”
Name: RC-4211 “Signal” or “Sig”/”11”

Role: Field technician

Appearance: Crew-cut hairstyle and wears plain white commando armor with an antenna on the right side of the helmet.

Mental description: Unlike most of his clone brothers, Signal always attempts to befriend and find a peaceful solution when dealing with intelligent races. However, his calm and friendly demeanor shouldn’t fool you; Sig is fully capable of engaging multiple enemies in both ranged and hand-to-hand combat, with or without his squad. Even in the heat of a fight, he speaks calmly and always attempts to relieve the nerves of his allies. To his enemies however, he can kill with stone cold efficiency. Showing a natural affinity for handling technology from an early age, Sig often tinkers around with any piece of tech he finds as a past-time. This has proven to be a great advantage for the team whenever they required someone who had extensive technical know-how.

Skills: As mentioned before, Sig is skillful in handling all sorts of technological equipment, from comm-links to control terminals to weapon systems. Apart from being the tech-guy, his job is to keep the squad updated of new objectives from superiors, and to keep them in contact with each other if communications break down and they get separated. Despite his affinity for technology, Sig is a surprisingly formidable warrior in several forms of unarmed combat. Even without his weapons, he is capable of disarming and neutralizing hostiles with his bare hands, and has once managed to defeat the entire squad in hand-to-hand fighting during their training days.

Equipment:
- Katarn-Class Commando Armor Mark-II
- DC-17m (Blaster/Sniper/Anti-Armor attachments)
- DC-15s Side-arm blaster
- Arm-Gauntlet Vibroblade
- Electrostatic grenades
- Backpack-mounted communication set
- Holo-Link
- Flare Gun

“If you love being in the cockpit so much, why don’t you just live there?”
Name: RC-4176 “Cockpit”/”76”

Role: Vehicle/Demolition Expert

Apearance: Hair is cut like a mohawk with no hair except going through the middle of his head. Wears plain white armor that seems to have a lot of oil stains in random parts. He also has a drawing of what appears to be a clone pilot’s oxygen pipe and tank running from the bottom of his helmet down to his chest (with the pipes leading up to the mouth part of his visor)

Mental description Cockpit was known as one of the more “adrenaline-fueled” clones. From an early age, he showed how at home he was in the driver seat of a vehicle. He has a love for fast and advanced starfighters and ground vehicles, even more so if they have an impressive arsenal of firepower. He is overconfident with his skills (though, he has good reason to be) and has a morbid sense of humor, often poking fun at enemies he kills (or he’s about to kill). He shows a very casual approach to death, and usually treats battles and firefights like fun games. However, he knows when things are dire enough to have to take seriously. Whenever he doesn’t have a grin, a laugh, or a joke being cracked in the middle of a fight, the squad knows it is a cause for concern.

Skills: Being the squad’s vehicle expert, Cockpit is familiar with, and capable of driving almost every vehicle and starfighter in the Republic and Separatist arsenal. He gained his nickname from being able to commandeer any vehicle he wished, regardless of whether it was currently occupied by hostiles or not. If faced with a vehicle he is unfamiliar with, Cockpit is known to quickly learn. On the ground, he is not very remarkable compared to other Clone Commandos. But in the driver’s seat, he can rival the skills of many pilots in the Grand Army. Aside from small vehicles, he is also knowledgeable in the inner workings of warships, and is often capable of guiding the squad through close-quarter missions inside Assault Ships. His vast knowledge of vehicles also makes him well-versed in the right places to damage when trying to destroy them.

Equipment:
- Katarn-Class Commando Armor Mark-II
- DC-17m (Blaster/Sniper/Anti-Armor attachments)
- DC-15s Side-arm blaster
- Arm-Gauntlet Vibroblade
- Thermal Detonators
- Fusion Cutter
- Demolition charges
- Demolition Trigger

“You act like you’re mechanical...”
Name: RC-4231 “Mech”/”31”

Role: Sniper Support/ Medic

Appearance: Has crew-cut hair like most clones and his white armor lacks any distinguishing features other than a bacta canister symbol on his left shoulder (to denote him as a trained medic), and a sniper crosshair on the right.

Mental description: Mech could be classified as one of those “extremely-obedient” clones. He never questions orders from his superiors, and will follow them regardless of the level of threat he will be faced with. But most of the time, he gets it done anyway. True to his namesake, he acts like a robot whenever he tackles an assignment: Cold, obedient, calculative, and efficient. He is stoic, and very rarely speaks (usually only when he has to). His squad sometimes feels that Mech will abandon them if he was ordered to. However, Mech would much rather sacrifice himself than be forced to leave his squad behind. He may not always show it, but he cares deeply for them and honors the bond they have as brothers. His squad are the only people Mech would ever seriously consider disobeying orders for.

Skills: Mech has shown superior accuracy and better weapons handling when compared to his squad. His abilities in ranged warfare are impressive, and he has only ever been defeated in close-combat by Comm. His technical knowledge is in the field of weapons (where he is capable of identifying any kind of firearm and understanding how it works) and also droids (knowing the best place to shoot them to destroy them, and how to sabotage them). He also knows much about the anatomy of several species, and can use the knowledge for both healing and killing purposes.

Equipment:
- Katarn-Class Commando Armor Mark-II
- DC-17m (Blaster/Sniper/Anti-Armor attachments)
- DC-15s Side-arm blaster
- Arm-Gauntlet Vibroblade
- Thermal detonators
- First-aid supply kit
- Bacta-administration Gun (Can carry up to 4 charges at a time)

@Rultaos

AWWWW YES. You had me at Kappa, Accepted.

Star wars: The End of an Era

Seeing as Tyrannus had loads of sith understudies, there is apparently a new sith order, and this war has escalated further and further [likely to draw jedi defectors now that the tide has turned], could I posit that the GAR have implemented anti-sith troops? I ask because it seems common sense to have a squad of anti-sith/anti-jedi troops attached to brigades that are likely to encounter force users.

A squad/squads of snipers, armored flamethrower troops, carbonite throwers, grenadiers, stun-net troops and other nasty anti-personnel warfare specialists who are trained to project emotion and hide their minds from force users would be a relative small cost to protect potentially whole units from single sith.

@Eschatologist

@McMolly has a great plan to bring the sith back into the fold of things, to which i won't comment much further.

But yes, you could. But not as Anti-Sith forces, as Anti-Dark Jedi forces. Even though the Sith threat still lingers, the threat of Dark jedi would be a much bigger threat imo. I imagine that once the Jedi forces got wind of Order 66, many felt their relationship with the republic was tainted. Even though the Jedi Order itself would stand with the GAR, there would be plenty of others that would leave the fold.

Would it be acceptable for my character to have been a padawan under Mace Windu?

@Exodus

Could have been and can still be. He is still alive after all.

LWSC SIRIUS

I'll be making a chick Henwen ;) sisters gotta stick together, HeWhoWalks, you're in if you make a lady that makes me swoon that has a deadly cs.

@Sovi3t I like your char but we have toooooo many guys (Nariata pm'd me their char before posting to the CS so they just beat you to it). Is there any possibility you could play a female version of your char? If not, I'm willing to let it slide by just this once because you obv put a lot of effort into the char and I like him!

In the mean time,@He Who Walks Behind if you make a chick whos cool, yeah, theres room for ya!

@EveryoneElse, someone double up as a chick otherwise this rp is a massive sausagefest and I dunno about anyone else here but I'm a vegetarian :/ #PassTheSaladies

@Spud

I can create a female character, let me look around for something.

LWSC SIRIUS

Ok Spud! We have come to an agreement @Diabolic and i! I have added in some back story in the Other section of my CS.

Star wars: The End of an Era

@Nariata can I be a Zabrak?

@Diabolic

Sure

I'd love to join in on this! I notice a distinct lack of sith here, wouldn't mind changing that :P

@Mcmolly

The Sith, as we know it, have died out with Palpatines death. But thats not to say that a new Sith Order can't rise from the ashes. PM me your ideas if you have any :)

<Snipped quote by Exodus>I have no faith in Disney Wars.

I don't read the books nor the comics. As far as I am concerned Star Wars has not moved past the end of Episode VI.

I have played some games, but they all take place before the end of Episode VI, even if the game had crstals with bonus abiliies that is not relevant.

In the cartoons & movies crystals are identical in function and I will treat all crysals as such no matter what. If that will be a problem let me know.

@Revans Exile

Hey it's all good. There are very few crystals that had any effect on the power of a lightsaber when compared with the number of crystals that simply changed the shade of the blade itself. No issue here :D
