(Mercenary Mission) Character Posting/Approval Thread

Use this thread to post your character description. Example:

Name: Kelvin Torer
Age: 45
Class: Jedi Master
Weapon: Green Lightsaber
Appearance: Human with brown hair with streaks of gray, in a ponytail like that of Qui-Gon Jinn's. Short, only 5'6. Wears traditional Jedi robes. Extremely fast, with muscular legs, even for a Jedi. Originally from Coruscant.
Other: Has been called the Mace Windu of his time. Fights in a style of his own, similar to Vaapad. Has apprenticed five padawans, all of which have had unsuccessful careers as a Jedi. For this reason, he has never been placed on the Jedi Council.

Characters must be approved by the majority of members in order to be used in the RPG.

My character for whatever our Thrawn-era mercenary story is going to be.

Name: Adenn Kad
Age: 24
Class: Pilot, Hand to Hand combat specialist
Weapon: Modified DL-44 Blaster, vibroknife
Appearance: 6'0 feet tall, wiry muscular build. Brown medium-length hair streaked with blond undertones. Left arm is a prosthetic.
Wears: Green Mandalorian battle armour. .
Other: The son of a dead Mandalorian commando, Adenn had no knowledge of his heritage other than the suit of armour he scrounged from his dead father's body. Adenn grew up the foster child of a wealthy Corascanti family before training as a pilot in the New Republic navy, a career that was cut short after Adenn was shot down above Fresia. Adenn survived, but he lost his left arm and was deemed unable to fly starfighters. Adenn resigned from the military and lived the life of a bounty hunter and mercenary.

Here's mine.
Name: Aeron Reveille (note: please don't use this name, as I have "copyrighted" it.)
Age:23
Class: 50% Jedi 50% Sith
Weapon:One red lightsabre and one blue lightsabre (both stolen)
Appearance: 6'4 human. Skinny and not muscular. Scar across his eye (similair to Anakin's). Longish black hair. Wears a blue robe, a black cape, boots, and gloves.
Other: Trained under a Sith "master", until a jedi killed his master. Because of his abuse and selflessness, he rejects to be called a Sith, but he still uses the dark-side, as it gives him relief.

I think if we're doing a RPG about commandos we should refrain from being Force Users. If everyone does this, we'll have a merc ship full of Sith, and that really doesn't work.

KIDNEY DISORDERS ADVICE

I second Jedi_Christopher's notion that none of us should be Force users. It would simplify things and would be more in line with the existing Star Wars cannon for the time period.

Here's my proposed bio...

Name: Saul Razaar
Age: 28
Class: Mercenary and Pilot
Weapons: Custom Baragwin assault rifle, heavy Arkanian blaster, combat knife
Appearance: Human-like, brown hair kept in short military style crew cut. Height 5'9.
Wears: Ailon Nova Guard armor. In top physical shape. Originally from the planet Alion.
Other: Saul was born into the warrior heritage of the Alion Nova Guard, a group so respected that it was often compared to the Mandalorians and the Emperor's Royal Guard. He fought as a mercenary during the Galactic Civil War working for the Empire. Participating in numerous suicide missions, he defied fate and returned alive every time. After the Battle of Endor, the Alion Nova Guard turned against the Empire and began working to eliminate remaining Imperial holdouts. Eventually Saul left the Guard and went to work as a freelance mercenary, going where ever the action was.

Non-Force users is a good idea. We'll take the first vote on characters. Please post your votes before posting a new character.

Votes for Darth Skuldren's character: 3 for, 0 against

Votes for Reepicheep's character: 0 for, 2 against

Votes for Jedi Christopher's character: 3 for, 0 against

Votes for Old Master Ben's character: 2

I vote yes for DS's and Jedi Christopher's. However, I'm going to have to say no to Reepicheep, simply because of the force ability. Howevers, the appearence, name, and weapon's seem fine to me.

I'll vote yes for Darth Skuldren and Jedi Christopher. And a no vote for reepicheep, simply because we aren't having force users in this story.

My proposed character:

Name: Keenen Ackbar
Age: 37
Class: Mercenary and Pilot
Weapon: DC-15S blaster, DL-44 heavy blaster pistol, pair of WESTAR-34 blaster pistols (What Jango Fett carried), Vibroblade
Appearance: Human. Brown hair kept in a short ponytail. Height 5'8.
Wears: Black Rebel body armor
Other: Keenen, despite sharing the last name of the famous admiral, has no relation to him, or the Rebellion. He was born on Coruscant average family. After living a normal childhood, Keenen left to begin a life as a successful businessman. While traveling to a job interview, his ship was ambushed by pirates. He managed to escape, but crashed his ship into the site of the job interview and killed the majority of its occupants in the process. This ruined his dreams of a successful career. Determined to get revenge, he went after the pirates, using stolen Rebel Body armor and the pair of WESTAR-34 blaster pistols he was given by his grandfather. He worked for several years, putting all the money he had earned into the attempt. Eventually, he was left with nothing but his ship, weapons, and clothes. After finally hunting down his attackers, he proceeded to "take care of them." This did not give him the satisfaction he wanted. Nor did it restore his life. He now works as a mercenary, trying to earn the money to rebuild the chances he once had.

I vote in approval of Jedi_Christopher's character: Adenn Kad and Old Master Ben's character: Keenen Ackbar. (Awesome backstory by the way)

No Force-users? Sad

Star Wars is so boring without them. On second thought, I might not do this. Unless this isn't official. Seriously though, what really makes Star Wars?

I guess the main reason we don't want a force-user is because we don't want you to have an unfair advantage over everyone else. However, I don't think that someone who can kind of use the force is bad. But a full-fledged Jedi might be a bit too much.

If you decide not to do this one, don't worry. I'm sure we'll have another one in the future that focuses on Jedi and Sith.

I'd have to agree with Old Master Ben on this one. He'd have to much of an advantage, and this is about Commandos, not Sith. I'd say NO force users on this one. Maybe in the future we could do a Legacy of the Force era one that could focus on Jedi.

Perhaps a compromise would be possible though with Reepicheep's character as being assumed to be possibly Force sensitive but never having trained in any Jedi or Sith arts to actually be able to tap into the skills? Beyond a compromise like that I agree with Jedi-Christopher and Old Master Ben against having Force users.

I'll give my vote of approval for Old Master Ben, Jedi_Christopher, and Darth Skuldren's characters though.

Here's my proposed bio:

Gavin Vendar (male Corellian)
Age: 24
Class: Pilot, communications expert
Weapons: DL-44, all black vibroblade with black Krayt Dragon Pearl handle
Appearance: 6' average build with light brown hair, blue eyes. Wears dark Khaki military officers pants, light blue shirt, black flight boots, and an armor reinforced black flight jacket.
Other: Served in the Corellian military for several years but resigned after being passed up for promotion three consecutive times. During his time in the military he served in the branch combating smugglers and pirates during which time he “acquired” his vibroblade from a pirate he killed when his squad boarded the pirate ship. He is proficient with short to medium range firearms but favors using his vibroblade.
