Hello there!

I'll see you when I see you, bud =)

Greetings!

Welcome to the site! You already mentioned that you've had a lot of experience about roleplaying in the past so I wont go into too much detail as to how things go around here. Wouldn't want to waste your time or make you feel too newb-ish now would I?

But hey, in case you do need some extra info, check out this reply I wrote up for another newcomer. I feel like it details most of the important bits. If you do check it out, consider it my welcome message to you as well!

If you need anything else feel free to ask me and anyone around the site. I'm sure they'll be willing to give you some answers. I hope you enjoy your time here and have fun making new friends and sending new characters on some great adventures \(^_^)/

Hello there!

Welcome to the site, friend!

There are a few on-site guides you can look at in order to get started. Provided by our very nice moderators and site staff.

Here's a new user's guide to the Roleplayer Guild. It should list down most of the essentials that you need to know, along with some supplementary links you can check out for additional information regarding the site as well. It would do you good to look at the moderation policy to avoid getting into trouble by accident.

Also here is the fundamental rules of the guild. They're pretty small and simple, but they encompass the entirety of the site so it's good to keep them in mind. The top of the page of this link should also show some links to the profiles of site staff that you can contact if you have to.

All in all, the best advice I can give you is the following:

1. Be observant and ask questions - Learn from your fellow peers about how things go around here as well as using your own logic and understanding. Ask around if you feel something is unclear. Most people should be friendly enough to answer them.

2. Don't be one of "Those Guys" - You know those people who just ruin your day because they are inconsiderate jerks who do not care about others and seem to subconsciously block out any form of logic you present to them? Yes, those guys. Don't be like those guys. Please. You will make the world a slightly better place by avoiding that. Be friendly to people and they'll be friendly to you too (most of the time). If they're not, just try to avoid interacting with people who don't seem like good company and find those who you enjoy spending time and roleplaying with.

3. Don't respond too negatively to criticism. And by criticism I mean the constructive one that is sensible and logically founded. Not the random insults people throw for the sake of insulting. If someone criticizes the way you write, try not to take it too harshly. Chances are these people just want to help you improve. OF course, sometimes criticism is based on personal opinion. So I'm not telling you to just comply with everything everyone says. Instead, just keep their comments in mind and decide for yourself if they have a good point or not. And adjust your style accordingly.

And lastly:

4. Have fun! The point of roleplaying is to enjoy yourself in fantastic new worlds created by everyone on the site (yes that includes you!). Join in with some good people and go on an adventure that you will all have a blast with.

Once again, welcome to the site, and I hope to see you around!

Star wars: The End of an Era

Got my second IC post up. Also, cool post there @mattmanganon. Good introduction of your characters with their personalities

Star wars: The End of an Era

The Police Gunship cut through the Coruscant skyways as it headed straight for the GAR-controlled side of the airfield. "We're getting close to our destination! By the force... It's absolute carnage out there..." The female CSF pilot said as the airfield came into view in the distance. Kappa Squad and the Jedi took a look outside the windows of the passenger compartment and saw what could only be described as a full-scale war being waged on the enormous stretch of land within the airfield. Blue and red laser bolts flew into opposite directions of the field as both clones and droids fell lifeless to the ground from the storm of blaster fire. Jedi Knights stood in between the clone ranks, deflecting blaster bolts and using the force on the debris in the field to provide cover for the soldiers behind them.

"An open field, little to no cover, clones behind Jedi with a swarm of droids on the other side... It's like Geonosis without all the sand..." Cockpit said. His statement sounded like a joke, but his tone was of worry. Spotter shared Cockpit's sentiments. The battle of Geonosis was infamous among many Clone Commandos for the amount of casualties the special units sustained due to the Jedi not using them properly, and sending them to the frontlines when they were meant for flanking and sabotage. "Don't worry, Pit. This time it's our capital they're invading. And we're not as incompetent as droids, are we?" Signal said, noting Cockpit's tone. "Heheh... Yeah. We'll show these guys the right way to defend a planet." Cockpit replied.

The Jedi, Jovardo Zlee began to close his eyes in deep concentration. And when he opened them he spoke immediately. "The disturbance I've been feeling since I was in the Jedi temple is becoming stronger than ever. I believe the source of it comes from within the ranks of our enemies. Stay alert once we're down there..." The Rodian Jedi said to the clones around him. The Jedi then put his fingers up to his communicator. "Yes master? ... How bad is it? ... I see... Alright, I will head there immediately with back up. Yes we're almost there. Good luck, master." Jovardo said as he shut off the communicator. "All of you, stay with me once we land. We're going to meet up with my master and help bolster the front that he and his men are holding. We are to hold that location until further orders." He commanded the clones aboard the ship.

"Yes sir!" was the collective reply.

Spotter turned towards his squad. "Final weapons check, Kappas. Make sure you're ready for contact as soon as we hit the ground!" He ordered as he fastened the locks of his DC-17 into blaster mode and slapped on the glowing blue magazine to ensure it was loaded. The rest of his team did the same. Signal adjusted his helmet and tightened it. Cockpit began stretching his neck. Mech carefully inspected his DC-17 and his sidearm blaster. The rest of the clones were making their own checks and adjustments.

"Mapping a descent path now. Landing in less than two minutes!" The pilot said. They felt slight turbulence as the craft adjusted course and anti-air rounds exploded on both enemy and friendly squadrons passing through their view. They felt themselves become lighter as the gunship slowly lowered altitude.

"Hey, are you boys from Kamino? Your armor looks like it's seen more action than most of the Spaarti cloned ones." Signal said, referring to the squad of clones in the ship with them. "Yes sir, my squad and I were shipped out around 6 months ago. We're reserve units so we don't have an official legion like most." The clone trooper who appeared to be the squad leader replied. "Then you should remember the Mandalorian marching song they taught us there... Signal then began a low solemn chant in Mando'an tongue, followed by Cockpit, Mech, and Spotter who started joining him.

"Kote...

Kandosii sa ka'rta, Vode An..." (Glory... One indomitable heart, Brothers All...)

"Coruscanta a'den mhi, Vode An..." (We, the wrath of Coruscant, Brothers All...)

"Bal kote...! Darasuum Kote..." (And glory...! Eternal glory...)

"Jorso'ran kando a tome..." (We shall bear its weight together...)

The last part of the chant was sung in unison by all of the clones aboard the ship

"Sa kyr'am nau tracyn kad, VODE AN!" (Forged like the saber in the fires of death, BROTHERS ALL!)

"Touching down now, opening passenger doors!" The pilot said as the craft suddenly stopped descending and the doors slid open. "Let's hit it, men! Move move move!" Spotter commanded all of them as the clones and the Jedi jumped off the gunship and planted their feet on the ground of the airfield. The squad of clone troopers proceeded to move forward and secure covered positions for them while Spotter lagged behind next to their Jedi general. "You clones can share quite the bond. I did not need to sense it while we were on the ship" Jovardo remarked. "At least the ones from Kamino, sir. Some of the trainers there teach old Mandalorian warrior traditions." Spotter replied as he turned towards his team and the squad of clones link up with friendly forces before waiting for the Jedi to lead the advance further towards the frontline. "I don't know if any of those greenhorn troops will live to see another day sir. But it's better to keep their minds off of that possibility. Better to give them a morale boost to prepare them for the nightmare up ahead." Spotter continued. "Even us Jedi do not know if we will live past this battle. So let's all do what we can to hurt our enemy before we fall." The Rodian said as he dashed forward quickly to join the fight with his fellow Jedi. "Sir, yes sir!" Spotter replied as he ran forward quickly.

"Kappa squad, on me! We'll stay close behind the general until we're at the objective location. Watch out for stray shots, use cover, and be on standby for further orders!" Spotter commanded his team as he joined them.

"Yes, squad leader!"
"Yes, squad leader!"
"Yes, squad leader!"

His team replied in unison as they followed behind him heading in the direction of the front lines.

I made some minor edits to my CS such as upgrading my squad's armor to Mark III (because I just read that it is apparently standard issue ten months after the battle of Geonosis). Also added informational hyperlinks to their equipment. Might add more links to them in the future should they become necessary or useful.

Also... Great first posts @Eschatologist and @Xyanthra!

Star wars: The End of an Era

When I think of purple I think of pimps.

@Revans Exile

Is it because of the Snoop Dogg stereotype?

So I'm a little confused on the Jedi objectives. Exactly where are the guns that need to be secured?

@Exodus

If you're trying to secure the gun emplacements, these are the ones that surround the Jedi temple on the outskirts of its territory. Enemy forces will try to disable these guns so that they can land transport ships in order to raid the Jedi Temple. If the guns go down, it will be a grisly fight to maintain control of the temple when the enemy can just constantly deploy there.

Star wars: The End of an Era

My introductory post is up. I hope it's up to scratch =)

EDIT: I changed Spotter's dialogue color to purple so it would be different from Sesran's dialogue text . Besides, purple does kind of fit as it's known as the color of nobility or royalty (Well, either that or violet... Close enough I guess)

Star wars: The End of an Era

On a normal day, the police stations of the Coruscant Security Force (CSF) would be busy with emergency calls, petty crime-solving, and responding to gang wars in the sub-levels of the planet. But today was not a normal day, for the CIS forces were making landfall on the capital city and the local authorities had to respond to emergency calls coming in by the dozen every minute regarding wounded people, destroyed homes, roads broken apart by crashed ships, and civilians caught in the crossfire between the Clones and The Droids. This station in particular was currently occupied by a battalion of clone troopers who had set up a base outside due to its proximity to the airfield that seemed to be where most of the fighting was concentrated. They were a good few kilometers away from the airfield.

GAR forces were setting up signal flares to contact friendly gunships and let them land on the station's parking space, and the clones themselves were arming themselves to be deployed to various sectors of the city, in conjunction with the police response. 2 LAAT Gunships sighted the flares and begun their landing. Inside one of them, 4 Clone Commandos stood inside. The gunship's co-pilot turned to speak with them. "Here's your rendezvous point. The airfield shouldn't be too far from here. Be careful down there boys, communications make it sound as if the place is a bloodblath." The clone said.

"So it's just like any other work day? Sounds great!" A commando with oil stains marked in random places around his armor said. He also had a drawing of a clone pilot's oxygen tank and pipes on his chest. "And just like any other day for us, we need to be on our toes, Cockpit. So try not to get too excited out there" The squad leader said. He had a red-colored third eye drawn on the forehead of his helmet. Me? Excited? Do you think I'm a Commando Droid in disguise here? Of course I'm gonna get hyped when we start blasting these clankers to the scrap pile!" Cockpit replied. "Spotter isn't saying you shouldn't get excited, Cockpit. He's just telling you to not get too distracted with the colorful explosions and forget to give him cover fire." A commando with a communications antenna on his helmet said. He also seemed to be carrying a lot of technical and comms equipment in his supply pack. "Really, Sig? Wow, I'm offended... It almost sounds as if you don't think I'm a professional..." Cockpit replied as the doors of the gunship opened and the 4 of them stepped outside.

A clone trooper greeted them with a salute as the squad of commandos saluted him back. Spotter, the squad leader, spoke first as the Gunship they rode began to depart to respond to other orders. "Kappa Squad of the Special Operations Brigade reporting! We're here to meet up with Jedi Knight Jovardo Zlee and bolster our forces at the airfield." He explained. "Understood. The Jedi general is waiting on the other side of the base with a squad of troopers ready to depart. Good luck out there." The plain white clone trooper said to them.

"You heard him Kappas, let's move! We can't afford to waste any more time." Spotter ordered as the four of them began moving quickly across the forward base. "Perhaps if 76 didn't spend so much time searching for his little souvenir we'd have been here sooner." The 4th member of the squad said in a flat tone. He had a bacta canister symbol on his left shoulder and a sniper crosshair on the right. "Come on Mech, that's my good luck charm!" Cockpit replied. "It's unnecessary." Mech answered. "Well I like to think it's one of the reasons I'm still alive right now." Cockpit retorted. "I've administered first aid on your wounds approximately Seventy-" "OKAY OKAY! I said it was ONE of the reasons... Sheesh..." Cockpit interrupted. "Put a lid on it you two! The Jedi is here." Signal said to both of them.

Before them stood a Rodian dressed in traditional Jedi robes, but with armor on its chest and limbs. A squad of plain white clones were also there, checking their equipment and waiting next to a Republic Police Gunship being occupied by a pilot and a gunner of the CSF, female and male respectively, both wearing light blast armor and helmets. "General Jovardo Zlee? We're Kappa squad. The Commandos assigned underneath you." Spotter introduced as he motioned for his squad to salute.

"At ease. We're needed at the airfield quickly so I'll make introductions quick. I'm Jovardo Zlee, Jedi Knight of the Order." The Rodian said as he led the commandos towards the police gunship. "Me and my squad of clones are a few of the forces that the Temple has sent to help secure the airfield. The CSF has given us a couple of their officers and a gunship to help get us there. Our mission is to link up with friendly forces at the field and then coordinate with whoever is in charge there as a flanking unit. Your squad has been assigned to me due to your exemplary skills in guerilla warfare. I will trust the reports, but you'd best earn my respect out there on the battlefield." The Jedi finished as he mounted the gunship with the clone trooper squad. The Commandos followed afterwards. "My squad and I are the best at what we do, sir. Just say the word and we'll have it done." Spotter replied.

Jovardo nodded and then turned to the gunship's operators. "We're ready to go! Let's get moving!" He shouted over the sound of the engines. "Yes sir! Lifting off now!" A female voice responded as the police vehicle began to lift above the parking area, shut the passenger doors, and flew quickly across the skyways of Coruscant towards the airfield in the distance, where various ships which were high above the cityscape could be clearly seen exchanging laser fire
