Posted. Sorry if it's a little short.

I figured I'd have Pete offer to help anyone with what's going on before doing something on his own.
Pete wiped the sleep from his eyes at the mention of food being ready. His tent was army issue, but that didn't stop him from calling it his canvas mansion. His gear and equipment were all kept in good condition and his guns were always within arms reach from his cot. As he rose, he grabbed his gun belt and put it on, making sure his pistol was holstered but on an empty chamber. With that done, he walked out of his tent, seeing a few of his fellow gang members enjoying breakfast.

"Good morning." Peter said as he got a nearby bowl and spoon. He even managed a sly wink at Annabelle as he got his grub. He had absolutely no clue if she was even into him, but why not try till he knew for sure. "Is there anything going on I may have missed? Sorry for sleeping in late."
Great! I'll get started.


Personal Quote: "Just because we're in a bad situation doesn't mean we can't make a buck off it."

Name: Peter "Pete" Tailor (adopted name, as Dietrich Schneider was hard for people to say.)

Gender: Male

Race: Caucasian

Nationality: German-American

Age: 26

Occupation: Soldier turned small time outlaw.

Faction: McCullen-Rainwater Gang

Family: Pete doesn't remember much about his family other than his name, as they died shortly after crossing the Atlantic to begin their new lives in America. What he does remember was his father, Fredrich, was a wounded veteran of the Prussian army. It was only a by a miracle that Pete survived the sickness that killed his parents and younger sister.

Horse:

Kaiser



Equipment: Remington Rolling Block Rifle, Colt SAA Peacemaker, Sawed Off shotgun (usually kept on Kaiser's saddle) and a tomahawk. He also usually keeps a knife in his boot for emergencies. His uniform is long gone, but kept as many of the standard issue equipment as he felt was necessary.

Skills: Thanks to a minor stint in the Army, Pete learned how to shoot, ride and fight by professionals. One of his unit's Indian scouts, Joseph Running Water, even taught him how to use and throw a tomahawk. He also still remembers enough German to hold a conversation with any native speaker, though most wouldn't know it by his lack of an accent.

Personality: Pete is usually very courteous and polite to his fellow gang members. To him, they represent the family that he always wanted but never found. He is generally quiet around strangers, and is more than happy to let his fellows do most of the talking. When the bullets start flying, however, Pete stays calm and professional, focused on getting the job done as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Likes/Dislikes: Pete enjoys playing Blackjack with his fellow gang members when he's at the camp, with occasional bouts of trying to flirt with Annabelle. The rest of the time, he likes taking Kaiser on long rides to see the sights and maybe hunt some game. If there is one thing that Pete cannot stand, however, it's large bodies of water. He has no clue how to swim and doesn't really want to learn.

Backstory (optional): After the death of his parents, Peter turned to petty crime to survive on the streets of New York. After many years of stealing, getting into fights and just scraping by, Pete enlisted in the American Army and was shipped out to the middle of nowhere. It was a dull posting, with not much to do but drink and harass the locals. Eventually, discipline broke down and many of Pete's fellow soldiers mutinied and turned outlaw. Pete rode with them for a while before linking up with the McCullen-Rainwater gang.
@LostDestinyMight have my character casually flirt with Annabelle, as he is also a sharpshooter. If that's not okay, please let me know.
Well, I'll knock out a character real quick and if I don't get accepted, I'll just delete him.
Is this still open? I haven't done a group RP in a while, but this could be amazing.
Eskel barely registered her presence before following Kijani's instructions. He walk toward her through the mud, putting one foot in front of the other. For a moment, he even thought about grabbing his comlink and summoning his guards. But decided against it however, as the prince was worried that any extra movement would alert... whatever the hell it was that was in the water with him.

When he reached end of the swamp and put his hands back on solid ground, he looked up to his savior. She was sweaty and clearly dressed for physical exercise, but that didn't hide her natural beauty. For a moment, he forgot he was mere seconds away from being eaten alive by a horrible swamp monster as he looked at her.

He was shaken out of his daydream at the sound of something breaking the surface of the water right behind him. Whatever it was, it cast a massive shadow over him and Kijani.

"Help." he said, while standing perfectly still.
Prince Eskel was dressed in his best white tunic, the height of Naboo's fashion. His plan wasn't to impress Princess Kijani by flaunting his wealth, as he knew she was not so easily impressed, but rather to look impressive and noble.

As he walked through the muddy swamps of Dagobah, however, he realized how bad of an idea this was. He was glad that he ordered his security forces to stay with the ship, as he didn't need more people to see the noble, good-hearted prince covered waist deep in mud. Being escorted by half a dozen armed guards was hardly heroic or attractive.

Suddenly, he felt something brush up against his leg in the mud, and Eskel completely froze. Was there something dangerous in the water? Was he about to die?

"Hello?" he said into the swamp, hoping that someone would hear him.
Yoda simply nodded, looking face showing dismay for the first time since the Jedi had arrived on planet. "Left per my instructions, Adam has. A great Jedi, he could be. But, too much of his father in him, he has. However, much training you have. Let us begin." he said, setting aside his walking stick and igniting his own lightsaber.

Six Weeks Later...

"Unidentified freighter, clear the way or be destroyed!" said the Imperial communications officer aboard the light cruiser Retribution. As a precaution, the captain already ordered the ships compliment of TIEs to disembark and surround the YT-1300 freighter. It wasn't uncommon for ships to become damaged in the Metharian Nebula, as the many swirling, violet clouds held many dangers.

"Cannot comply!" came the static filled response from the freighter. Han Solo wouldn't consider himself a great actor, but thankfully he only needed to keep this charade going for another minute. Just as the small imperial convoy came to a complete halt, the trap was finally sprung.

"Targets acquired. Formation, attack!" came the call over the comlink, and the six X-wings dove out of the clouds and fell upon the Imperials. Raptor Three, Adam Skywalker, was first among the TIEs, blasting one before the others had time to react.

After leaving Kijani on Dagobah, Adam needed something to keep the young woman from his mind. Becoming a pilot seemed like the obvious choice, as the Rebels were desperately short on recruits. He wasn't sure he made the right choice until he got into the cockpit of his own X-Wing and flew with Raptor Squadron. He knew his father had been something of a pilot himself, and feeling the freedom and speed in his own hands made the young man feel closer to his father than he had ever felt.

It wasn't long before the rest of the dark-green X-wings scattered the Imperial fighters like frightened banthas, letting the acompanying bombers to cripple the small convoy. Once all was said and done, Adam scored one more TIE fighter kill to his name, bringing his career total to eight.

It felt good to be useful, but the young Jedi wished that Kijani was here to share in his success. Once his squadron, along side the Millennium Falcon, returned to their frigate, Adam knew that all that was waiting for him was a night of hollow celebration and wondering whatever Kijani was up to.

The silver star-skiff was massive, and Prince Eskel was surprised that the pilot could find a place to park here on Dagobah. The prince normally hated such ostentatious displays of wealth and grandeur, but his father deemed it necessary for a first impression.

This wasn't a terribly large planet, and the prince was sure that his craft landing would be noticed by whoever was here. Hopefully, one of them was his future wife.
