Star Wars Alt history

@Shadow Daedalus@Sirkaithethird@Inkwell@Reflection@ZeusTheMoose
I started an OOC for the RP now.

Star Wars: Alt History

We all know the story of "A New Hope", but what if Leia had completed her mission?
Vader doesn't catch up with her until after she's talked to Obi-wan, and they have returned to her ship. Luke never lost his Aunt and Uncle, or met the droids. Han and Chewie were never hired to smuggle people to Alderaan, and Tarkin hasn't yet decided to blow it up, as he has no prisoner he wishes to psychologically torture.

I'd start the RP as the Tantive IV comes out of hyperspace above Tattooine. You can play as OCs or established characters, though from this point forward established characters may change.

Also, Obi-wan is an NPC, though Leia is available.

I'll develop the story as we play, based on the players and the actions they take.

Basic CS

(insert picture here)
Name:
Species:
Age:
Force Sensitive: (yes/no; It's highly unlikely that anyone with actual Force powers would be involved outside of established characters, but you might have the potential to learn if Obi-wan or Yoda survive long enough to teach you)
Skills:
Equipment:
Bio: (basic background is fine. We can find out more in story if you want.)

Star Wars Alt history

Here's an idea for the plot:
Leia goes to recruit Obi-wan, who insists on giving her a lesson. Vader's ship arrives and Leia tells them to leave without them. They find the Rebel pilot @Shadow Daedalus who's taking recruits from the nearby worlds to Yavin IV and fly with them. They then take a ship to Alderaan. (Alternatively, if someone wants to play as Han or Chewie, they can hire a pilot to go strait to Alderaan) When they come out near Alderaan, they find the Death Star, with Alderaan intact. They are caught, and with the planet as hostage they have to call for the Rebel fleet or take it out from the inside.

@ReflectionDo you want to play Luke?

Star Wars Alt history

@ReflectionWasn't Biggs on Yavin IV when Luke got there? That would make sense.

1) mostly so that he can train Leia. He plans to come back, but helping the Rebellion and training someone to help the against Darth Vader is more important.
2) I was planning on him giving her the same "Anakin Skywalker was you real father" speech and give her the light saber.
3) see #2

Edit: That said, if someone wants to play as Luke, I could have him say that he wanted to pick up "a new recruit" first and come to the farm to recruit you.

@Shadow DaedalusSounds cool.

@Shadow DaedalusI actually kind of prefer EU/Legends stuff, even though their are some weird stories.

The Solo Twins are way cooler than Ben/Rey.

Star Wars: The Bigger Picture

I'm using Snow a lot, so I figured I'd just make her my second character.

Snow

Name: Snow (Bri'an Tel)
Skills: She's studied many methods of fighting, but prefers stun batons, vibroblades, or light blasters. Give her a heavy repeater or a ship's turret and she'll be quite good with it. She's also had some experience flying fighters, but she prefers to see her enemy instead of just their ship.
Equipment: Basic Leather armor (Mynock hide, for energy resistance), stun baton, ELG-3A blaster pitol, vibroknife
Bio: Born on Coruscant, she witnessed the abuse of the people by the Empire first hand, though thankfully she was human enough that she didn't get an extra portion of abuse just for being the wrong species.
She joined the rebellion four years ago, and has been in resource acquisition for the last two.
