Fandom Star Wars - Rogue 2 - A Fantastic Distraction

[Bazmund]

Nah mate, you're good to go. I was gonna bring you up on the reference to Emperor Palpatine as 'Palps' but to be honest, I couldn't give less of a damn. Feel free to join the RP as a latecomer to the main party.


Oh. And I hope everyone is ok with the Death Troopers lore.

 

[Wintermute]

Actually, the reason I assumed he was RC instead of ARC was because a large part of his bio seemed suspiciously similar to the events and storyline of the Geonosis segment of the actual game, Star Wars: Republic Commando - which by the was is a fantastic game.
In fact, given that we're all probably going to die by the end of this RP anyway, if you wanted to increase his badass factor by making him a full RC instead of ARC, I'd be fine with that. Also, yes, the CS is fine with these modifications, as long as he isn't too overpowered in practice.


I should also inform everyone that my character is not going to be the only Jedi in this... eventually. I have a friend in the Netherlands who just needs to get around to watching the sodding films, and then she'll... ah, make an appearance. Of sorts. I'm also trying to recruit more of my personal friends to play Jedi, because being the only one feels conceited - and if anyone wants to make a second character at this point, feel free to put it out there. These missions are incredibly dangerous and it is conceivable that, if you want to move on to a new character, your old one can find a suitably dramatic and feels-hitting death.

Oh, well it is really based on the game, which by the way I absolutely love.

 

[Wintermute]

I like calling Palpatine Palps, just a little humor thing of mine. By the way, how should I start?

 

[Bazmund]

Just role play your ship landing in one of the hangar bays, and your character meeting the rest of Rogue 2 in the service corridor. Maybe mention the strange power signature you picked up on your scanner.

Name: Xal Xeli

Age: 28




Gender: Female

Appearance:

Personality:

Xal tends to be very professional in most circumstances, due to the nature of her job requiring such, she is always striving to achieve more, and could be considered by many as a perfectionist, however she has a very short temper when it comes to such things, IE if something isn't perfect, she will most likely let her anger out on something or someone in the immediate vicinity, she also has little patience for those who "waste her time" however this is mostly to do with her job. She can and will become anxious in situations she isn't in control of, given her controlling nature, some may call her a control freak. Yet she would say otherwise. Despite all of her professionality, anger and seriousness, Xal does hold sentiment towards her homeworld, Corellia, as Corellians are well known for, along with fond memories & love for her parents, she does remain in contact with childhood friends, and takes any available time she is given to get Corellian made products, she holds a close bond with very little people, and has a tendency to see most people as plain statistics.

Personal History:

Born in Coronet City, on the planet of Corellia, one of the Core planets. Xal was born into a family of wealth and influence, as of such, she was pampered throughout her entire life, she received a grand education and all that her heart desired, she went through school with superb results, along with that her high position in society got her into very prestigous schools, during this time, she was able to learn Olys Corellsi, translated into Basic as Old Correllian, as she had a very keen interest in her people's traditions, she signed up for the Corellian Security Force at 17, and served a year in the Reserves, after the treacherous acts of the Jedi, and the formation of the Galactic Empire, Xal signed up for the Royal Imperial Academy, on Coruscant at the age of 18, her father having gotten her past Junior Academy automatically and having sent her straight to Senior Academy, this was the most prestigous academy that belonged to the Empire, and so Xal's father had to pull strings to get her in a good position there. She passed her standardized evaulations with flying colors, beating the majority of her class, having been forced to work harder than the rest of the cadets by default simply because of the somewhat sexist views that the Academy held. She managed to get through the practical parts of her training through her unusual amount of lucky guesses, good decisions and foresight (this was due to her strong force sensitivity) She graduated after 2 years and became an Imperial Officer in the Stormtrooper Corps. It didn't take long for her to be assigned to a position, and that position was with the 19th Brigade, on-board a Imperial-II class Star Destroyer, that was apart of a larger fleet that was in-charge of patrolling some of the Outer Rim territories.

Xal proved her worth time after time in the field of battle against rebels, and even plain pirates, leading her stormtroopers to victory many, many times, this eventually granted her the promotion to Field Commander, in-charge of her own Brigade of around 4,000 Stormtroopers, she was put in-charge of many counter-insurgency operations, destroying rebel bases, cutting off supply lines, destroying any towns that showed major signs of rebellion, she proved her loyalty to the Empire (however in reality, she was simply doing it for a paycheck/promotions) and was promoted to Major General stationed aboard the counter-insurgency Fleet, that held around 5 Imperial Class Star Destroyers. This leading up to a total of around 48,500 Stormtroopers, this being a Line Corps unit, along with being in-charge of all Naval Intelligence officers on the Fleet, around 540, and even the Security Officers, due to the trust gifted to her by the Empire. At this point the only other officer in the entire fleet that equalled her was the Captain of the leading vessel, Captain Meldan, the two being at constant odds, always trying to out-do each other in the eyes of the Empire, in-order to gain more payrises and just for reputation sake.

Throughout her 8 years serving with the Imperial Empire, Xal stopped many, many plans to thwart Imperial operations, ordered the arrests of hundreds of rebel-affiliated informants, and ordered the ransacking of tens of hundreds of towns and villages that were suspected to be supplying insurgents or smugglers in the area, yet none of this was out of loyalty to the Empire, but solely because she enjoyed doing her job correctly, and whether she admitted it or not, enjoyed being in so much control and having so much power, however she always had an issue with how her superiors treated her, she was always treated lesser than the males of same rank as her, and whenever she got one, single thing wrong about any operation, she was threatened with harsh reprecussions, or even hit because of it. This all turned Xal into a very sour person, with a dislike for the Empire, however she still took satisfaction in her job, and was happy that her parents were proud of her for it, this being the only thing that ever really kept her from voicing her dislike of her superiors, along with this, the benefits for after serving were very promising, and the paycheck was pretty damn good.

Tools/Weapons:

DH-17 Blaster Pistol

[Addition] -

5 Staff Officers, 156 Security Officers, 50 ISB Agents, 2,000 I2F-73 Industrial Droids, 36 AT-AT Walkers, 18 AT-ST Walkers, 48,501 Stormtroopers, 20,658 Support Personnel, 2,599 Repulsorlift Vehicles, 371 Heavy Tanks, 24 TIE/GT, 12 TIE Bombers, 2 IM-455 Modular Garrison Bases (deployable)

{These Resources Were All Provided by the Galactic Empire for Counter-Insurgency}

Skills & Abilities:

As part of Imperial Academy training, Xal was taught how to use the E-11 Blaster rifle with somewhat good accuracy, however she gained an interest in the weapon, and soon became very proficent with it. She was promoted so rapidly for her insanely good leadership skills and strategy/tactics knowledge, allowing her to form very complex and successful plans in a short period of time. (Unknown to her) Xal is also very force sensitive, certainly stronger than the average force sensitive person, however this is unknown to Xal, her force abilities are unknown at this time, as Xal is naive in the ways of the Force.

Are They Willing to Die for the Rebel Alliance?: She isn't willing to die for anyone, or anything, as she values her own life too much.

(I've discussed the progression of Xal with Bazmund)

Maxon Arvid

​

Age: 29


Gender: Male


Species: Human


Personality:


Maxon Arvid is a number of things, first of all he's determined, and will not let anyone or anything get in the way of his goals. He is constantly either subtly or overtly arguing for the path which will enable his ultimate objectives to be met. Another trait of his is charisma, despite his often bullish ways, he can turn on the charm and often uses it to disarm opponents and rally allies together.


History:


Maxon was born on Kuat, on the planets capitol of Kuat city, to a Republic general Tacticus Arvid, and a prestigious ship engineer in the Kuat Drive Yards, Erza. Maxon was the power couples sixth offspring. The Arvid's for the last millennium had been an influential political force in the Republic, with many pursuing service in either the military, navy, senate or the Kuat Drive Yards in senior executive positions.


Maxon was no different, and from a young age aspired to be like his father, a general. When the Republic gave way to the Empire, Maxon embraced this new militarism, believing it was the best way forward for the Galaxy, and that the Republic was too weak. Although the Arvid family swore loyalty to Emperor Palpatine, there were constant questions and rumors of treachery, all thanks to the historical ambitions of the family.


At age eighteen Maxon traveled to Cardida, training at the Imperial Officer Academy on the planet. At age twenty he passed with flying classes and moved to the senior academy, a second tier of military education for prospective officers who wished to specialize in a field. Maxon wanted to train in marine tactics and graduated six months later a Marine Commander, whose speciality would be to land and deploy troops on the field.


Despite the years of training, Maxon's career in the Empire was incredibly short, four years to be exact. On Coruscant, Tacticus had been promoted to Grand Marshal, and became involved in the politics of the Imperial Palace, continuing a long standing rivalry with the up and coming Moff Whilluff Tarkin. The two argued and fought for control of the Death Star project, with Tarkin finally winning by implicating Tacticus in a plot to assassinate him and several other important Moffs. In retribution for this, the Imperial Intelligence Service was swift in arresting and killing Arvid's five older siblings and his mother, citing the need to purge "renegade" elements.


The only reason the newly minted lieutenant survived the purge of his family was that his command, the imperial-ii star destroyer Pride of Eridau was engaging rogue settlements in the Outer Rim, when the order came in to arrest Maxon. The captain of the ship turned a blind eye to it, and allowed Maxon to escape imperial custody, before reporting he'd died in an accident in the hangar bay.


Maxon, now left without any help or any purpose traveled the Galaxy, assisting smugglers and pirates in avoiding detection by imperial cruisers. As time went on, he contacted old contacts whom were close to the Arvid's who informed him of what had happened. Enraged at the senseless slaughter of his family, Maxon now found drive in wishing to kill Tarkin.


Weapons:


The T-21 Blaster: The choice weapon for all imperial marines:

Apparel:


Ryloth Militiaman Armor: A set of armor Maxon brought while on Ryloth, its


acclimatized to the desert wastes of Ryloth.

Skills: Maxon is a skilled organizer, having spent his imperial career organizing cargo barges filled with stormtroopers and heavy machinery for the pacification of planets. Another ability Maxon contains is his memory, Maxon is able to recite most imperial protocols and military procedures off by heart, which made him invaluble for smugglers and pirates. Another skill that is more so a family trait is charisma, Maxon has many a time used charm and wit to convince small scale imperial patrols and pirate groups which have in the past threatened him for either money or to surrender.


Would he be willing to die for the Rebellion: Not necessarily (I mean later he might be when he gets close to all of you people) since Maxon's beef isn't with the Empire, but with Tarkin. But if he was able to lay down his life to avenge the Arvid name in a meaningful fashion, he gladly would.

@Bullet Tooth Tony I'm gonna get to your in just a second.

No problemo. Yeeaahh my English teachers have all told me that as well, that I like to use commas a lot xD I'll try.

 

[RIPSaidCone]

Am I good to post now then?

 

[Funkybub]

Knock yourself out Cone, we're just arriving at an abandoned listening post

 

[Bazmund]

@Bullet Tooth Tony Alright mate, change your armour to something that wouldn't have you instantly noticed by the Empire as soon as he went on the run, and you're in. Let's also just remember that none of the clone wars Era military gear reaaaaaally went on sale.

Well in my mind, I'd imagine that sets of it would go missing in the field and would eventually be scavenged and sold. But your wish is my command.

[Indygo]

Name:


Her original birthname is Indara Saegon but she now goes under the alias Kalel.


Age:


27


Gender:


Female


Appearance:

Shoulder length black hair, fair skin, tattoos marking her arms and one eye that is lighter blue while the other is darker blue.


Personality:


Quick-Witted, stubborn, has the tendency to get agressive easily but is calm at the same time as well. She often comes across as a bit of a fiery, cunning woman but she can also be quite serious and distant.


Personal History:


Indara was born and raised on the planet Yavin where she lived with her parents and older brother. When she had just turned 14 years old, her parents and brother got murdered by bounty-hunters, and she was taken as a "price". After a few failed attempts of escaping, she had almost given up hope when she was finally rescued by a wise, strong man who called himself a Grey Jedi.


With nowhere else to go, she was taken in by this man and he taught her the way of the Jedi and the Force. She had been told that the Force was strong with her many times, and she was determined to spend the rest of her living days training herself to strengthen her power over the Force and to become a great Jedi.


But once again, everything she had and loved was taken away from her during the Jedi Purge, and even though she fought back, she ended up fleeing in order to save her own life.


As soon as she found shelter, she was quick to change her name to Kalel in order to hide her true identity. Having nothing, and nowhere to go once again, she got taken over by hated, fear and anger. And before she knew it, she fell into the Dark Side.


Given up on a good life, she offered her strength to the Sith. Because who could be a better Jedi hunter, than an actual former Jedi?


Her strengths soon made her qualified to start training as an Inquistor, and has long since abandoned her former Jedi identity, except for her powers with the Force. Up until now, she has lived on the side of Darkness ever since her life got stolen away from her for a second time.


Tools and/or weapons:


She is a duel wielder of red colored lightsabers, but is often seen using only one. She also frequently uses the Inquistor lightsaber when on duty. Kalel is also skilled with guns and frequently carries one around with her, usually unseen.


Skills and Abilities:


She is a skilled duel wielder and still uses the techniques she has learned during her time as a Jedi apprentice, as well as the Force. Kalel has also trained herself with guns and even though it's not perfect yet, she does consider herself to be fairly good at it. As for non-combat related, she will often use her feminine charm to seduce people to either distract them, or to get what she wants. Her quick-thinking also gained her the ability to perfectly plan attacks and ambushes.


Are they willing to die for the Rebel Alliance:


As a current Inquistor, she is willing to make sure people of the Rebel Alliance die.


Other:

Accepted. You'll begin RP in Desolation Alley, overseeing the interrogation of a suspected force-sensitive prisoner. Feel free to read back on the RP for context.
