And I realize there was/is a fair amount of teasing going on.

Posted! Its not a lot, but I hope its enough to go off of! If I think of anything else to add I definitely will, but I mainly wanted to let you guys know I'm still in this. This was just a small unplanned pause that was mainly my fault

 

[Dragunov]

My classes will be starting this week so things will be a bit bumpy on my end.

 

[Chak]

Glad I read through chat, you all seem like a fun sort, oh, and we've got Army and Navy here. All we need now is Air Force and a Coastie and we'll have a full hand.

Furthermore, a Star Wars rp that /didn't/ have someone playing a female Twi'lek? I was truly shocked. Like, not even kidding, it surprised me. Also, the half-Farghul? Proud we've got people that know what a Farghul is.

Anyhow, since there wasn't a Twi'lek, but there /was/ a Farghul, which are my general go-to race, I opted to ruin everything and make a female Twi'lek. Because originality of course.

A twilek in a skimpy dancer's outfit at that. Nothing like playing against type.

Let's be honest though, in a time where most Sith wore Sith armor, and Jedi either wore Robes and light armor,or wore Jedi Defender armor, a skimpy dancer's outfit on a twi'lek that has their lightsaber tucked out of sight is exactly how you go about advertising that you are very much /not/ a Jedi or Sith.

Because if you know you'll draw attention from people whether you want to or not, you may as well do it on your own terms while eclipsing the features you don't want noticed with something else.

All I hear is "Blah blah blah please let me join your ERP".

Obviously, what else could that possibly mean.

Can't wait to get in though, seems like stowing away in the ship everyone's heading to could be a good way to get involved. Yada yada 'Force guided me here', the usual reasons people in Star Wars conveniently show up where they're needed.

"The Force did it" is pretty much the mantra of this game so far. If you want to go ahead and jump in now feel free. It might be a while before we get to chasing the ship. I'll hold off posting until you decide what you want to do.

 

[Mkirshnikov]

I think we might want to chase it sooner rather than later, because a big ol' freighter is going to be pretty handy when cleaning out some vault.

Truth.
I'll post something late tonight.

 

[Chak]

Sounds good, I'll wait to see where the party is headed, and then find a way for Kaedi'ae to slip into the group as seamlessly as possible.

 

[Eldarkon]

Yo, any space open to new players?

I think we can handle one more. Gives us enough people to make a couple of parties if you guys decide to split up. Make a char and post it so we can mock your efforts and publicly humiliate you and we'll give it a look see.

 

[Darth Bambi]

Truth.

Got unexpectedly and amazingly drunk last night, forcing me to postpone writing something up like I said I would. I'll make it up to you guys this evening.
(If it helps make any of you feel any better I also got amazingly sick as well. I discovered the hard way that bourbon and my new medications do NOT mix.)

Character posted

Hey Akio. I checked your character out. It's not bad, but it feels like you're godmode-ing him to a certain degree; undefeatable blade master, master of numerous Force powers, darth, able to instantly destroy entire groups of people with a wave of his hand. (Even Vader wasn't that powerful.)
All of the other characters have been written up as being mature and capable, but your's is sounding hyper-competent, an unstoppable juggernaut. I don't know if that was your intent, but that's how it's coming across to me. And I question his "burning hatred of the Jedi", which would put him instantly at odds with several people in the RP. Is he going to be able to put it aside and work with the others? Because, as you've written him I get the impression that he would immediately attempt to destroy any Jedi he came across.
I can work with it if that's really what you want to play, but the character is going to have trouble fitting in with the rest as you have it now. I would basically have to run a parallel story with him or else he would completely overshadow the others.

 

[Chak]

If you don't mind my two cents worth, I would say a burning hatred for Jedi is perfectly acceptable, provided that he also recognise that letting his hatred be the only driving force behind his actions is a bad idea. It would be interesting working with a party member that actively disagrees with a chunk of the party, but finds a way to work with them all the same for the sake of their endgoal.

It also gives chances for either the character to change and become more open, or to shows points of steel-lined, hardened resolve as they grow stronger against attempts of reintegration.

All other points stated by Bambi are y'alls prerogative however, as I just have experience working with a character whose hatred of a group can regularly put them at odds with others.

Yeah, that's why I asked if he would be able to put his hatred aside and work with the others. If so then great. That adds tension which is always nice to have in an RP.

I'm personally looking forward to the fact that Kaedi'ae doesn't have a determined affiliation to either side of the force. It'll be interesting to see how people take to an overtly friendly yet unaffiliated force user.

Probably fairly well. My char is unaffiliated, too.

Yeah, I always figured the whole light vs dark thing was nonsense..

Light says use logic not emotions.

Dark says use emotions, not logic.

I say, don't be a dick and use whatever gets the job done so long as you stick with the baseline of don't be a dick.

 

[Mkirshnikov]

It would be safe to assume that just because it hadn't been written down, that people are getting the hell out of the bar and booking it, right? Because I don't know about you, but I'd want to get out of there if someone shoots a gun in a bar.
