Perfect time to reveal the big twist...

:pal: Thats fantastic

Add: Wow, I'm really stuck as to how I'm gonna proceed right now, I have a basic idea of what I want to do, just have writers block going on as to how I want to write it.

[Gallagher]

I would post as Kyle but he's kinda stuck at the moment, otherwise I'd be more active in keeping this alive.

And as for Starkiller, I wasn't approved before, I won't be approved now so I don't see the point.

[Johnny Blaze]

Let's all say a big "**** off" to the RPG's new AGM...taking over for the departed Andy C is...Catman!

:csad:

[Catman_prb]

My first idea as new AGM is to take every first son...oh wait, that's something else entirely.

[absonic93]

hey, just wondering who's actually in the council? I know Mon Mothma, but who else?

[NiteMare Shape]

hey, just wondering who's actually in the council? I know Mon Mothma, but who else?

Good question, I was wondering that myself

[absonic93]

well then I believe this matter needs to be discussed. Anyone have an idea?

[absonic93]

nobody? I'm anxious to finish writing my Leia post. I've just kinda stopped until I can come up with a clear idea of the council.

[Catman_prb]

I would've thought Dodonna, Borsk Fey'lya and Ackbar would be on it.

[wiegeabo]

According to Wookiepedia, the Provisional Council was
* Chief of State/Chief Councilor Mon Mothma (Chandrila)
* Supreme Commander/Admiral Ackbar (Mon Calamari)
* Councilor Doman Beruss (Corellia)
* Councilor Borsk Fey'lya (Kothlis)
* Councilor Jenssar SoBilles (Duro)
* Councilor Sian Tevv (Sullust)
* Councilor Leia Organa (Alderaan)
* Councilor Verrinnefra B'thog Indriummsegh (Elom)
* Councilor Kerrithrarr (Kashyyyk)

[absonic93]

oh never mind, that picture on the wookiepedia page kinda gives me an idea.

[Rain Dog]

woah holy *****, i'm on the council. In your face peasants!!!

So am I. Ever ready to identify traps.

[wiegeabo]

Not always. Usually with council's, as long as there's a quorum, those there can do Council stuff and the others can be off doing whatever.

Boy howdy do I know about the joy and fun of council meetings. :csad:

[absonic93]

alright wiegeabo, Luke is ready to speak.

[Rain Dog]

You guys wouldn't mind if I played it as if Ackbar was already in the council chambers, would you?

[absonic93]

nah, join the party! it's fun.

[wiegeabo]

And bring the beers!

[Jono Starsmore]

Abs, I must say, you portray a damn good Leia. http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/icon14.gifhttp://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/icon14.gif

Seconded.


And I'll get Luke posted sometime today.

[Jono Starsmore]

Seconded.


And I'll get Luke posted sometime today.

Sah-weet.


You have a crowd waiting for you at the cantina. :cmad:

Luke's gonna be like "Wtf. Two force-sensitives in one day?"

That's what happens when you piddle around with your sister! :cmad: And I don't even know if piddle is a word! But I'm gonna use it! :cmad:

No seriously. Take your time.

[absonic93]

thanks, I'm very nervous about it cause basically a part of the fate of New Republic rests on my shoulders...........yikes........

[Jono Starsmore]

Dude you should like, get Leia some Jedi training or something.

[Catman_prb]

Or some weed :up: What, it sorts Venom out when he's got important decisions resting on his shoulders!

[absonic93]

idk, then i'll never be able to be taken hostage and that's half the fun!

[absonic93]

speaking of which, anyone's welcome to do a hostage arc. wouldn't that be fun....

[Catman_prb]

PM's are fun :up: PMing the right people is fun :up:

[absonic93]

who would ever want to kidnap the Minister of State of the New Republic and the sister of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker who would probably have many enemies lurking around looking to get to him as well as the threat of the Empire looking for a way to get power back in the galaxy?

What's wrong with you people?

[Jono Starsmore]

PM: "Will you kidnap me? I'll wear that sexy bikini thing like in RotJ! I promise!"

[absonic93]

that'll cost extra..........

[Rain Dog]

I'm gonna have a Rotta post up soon. I'll have my Ackbar post up after Luke's proposal.

[Catman_prb]

"Oh Luke, you've made me the happiest fish thing in the world,"

...Sorry, I had to say it.

I had to read that a few times before I got it. :o

[Matt Murdock]

Bwahaha

"It's a weddinggggg!"

[SenseiofCheese]

Expect a Bossk post today, JB. Sincere apologies for my absence, since I know it left you completely stuck. Also, I'll try to steer the Sate Pestage battle in the right direction, since there's been some confusion about just how many Imperials and Rebels are present there.

[Catman_prb]

It's also over. Pestage is dead and Renn's been captured by Han and Lando. The Falcon is currently in hyperspace to Coruscant :up:

[Byrd Man]

Yeah, way to keep up ***hole! :cmad:

[SenseiofCheese]

Son of a b...See, I just assumed **** fell apart when I left. Bastards.

[Johnny Blaze]

No worries. I'm in no rush with Boba.

As for Bow, I guess you can have him returning to the Chimaera or what not since the battle is over.


And get a new ****ing Scrubs quote. :cmad:

[NiteMare Shape]

Nice Wieg...very nice. :woot:

[wiegeabo]

Thanks. :D

[absonic93]

I second that compliment :) I like how Luke is still a bit humble even though he kicks ass.

[absonic93]

by the way, for what's it worth Leia approves Luke too (cause she's on the council :))

[NiteMare Shape]

hmmm...things are starting to get interesting. Good work fellas! :D

[NiteMare Shape]

So...how long before word spreads on the holonet about this meeting between Luke and the council?

[absonic93]

we opened the window in the council room and Ackbar played the trumpet out to the massive crowds of waiting jedi students while Mon Mothma shouted out. That's how it works around here.

:pal:

[wiegeabo]

Ok, council. You don't have to fill Luke's second request. At least not directly. Maybe the Republic can't spare any ships, causing Luke to seek...others to help him with his quest. ;)

Maybe a couple of people waiting for him in a certain cantina on Corscant. Or maybe a certain ol' buddy and his wookie friend?

Sorry if the council's decision was unrealistically speedy, I just assumed you guys wanted to get the Order approved ASAP.

No worries, I thought it was just fine

[wiegeabo]

No, that's fine. I was expecting a debate, but it's not like there's many of us on the council. Although we probably should debate the resources thing.

The Republic may have some funds they can grant Luke, but not any ships. Which means Luke my have to rely on hiring you guys in the bar. Or maybe the Republic grants him use of the Falcon. (I'd love to see the reaction of Han being ordered to follow Luke :P). And again they could hire the others as backup. We'd be our own little Jedi fleet! :D

Debate amongst the council or debate w/ Luke?

[wiegeabo]

Debate amongst the council or debate w/ Luke?

Either/or. Probably debate within the council makes more sense. And then Leia could get involved too. But I envision the opposing side winning this one and Luke not getting any Republic ships.

Give me a sec, I'm going to make a small edit to set the debate up.

[NiteMare Shape]

liked the edit, I think this is deffinately heading in the right direction. Good job guys

[Optikal]

Guys I'm dropping Malek for a canon, someone more influential and someone i can make an impact on the game with. App up tomorrow night.

Star Wars: The RPG Character Application

Screen Name: Optikal

Character you wish to play: A'Sharad Hett

Race (such as Human, Wookie, Transdoshan, Hutt, Twi'lek, Rodian, Bothan, droid, Mon Calimari, etc): Human

Faction (does your character belong to a group, such as the New Republic, The Imperial Remnant, the Bounty Hunter's Guild, a specific crime syndicate, etc): Sith apprentice / Bounty Hunter / Former Jedi Knight

Background (list the history of your character here. Created Characters Must Be Thorough!): A'Sharad Hett is the son of famous Jedi knight Sharad Hett. Living amongst the Tusken clans of Tatooine, he took the trials of Slaying a Krayt Dragon as well as informally learning the ways of the Jedi from his father. At 15 years old Hett began formal Jedi training after his father was killed by the Bounty Hunter Aurra Sing.

Hett became the Padawan of Ki-Adi Mundi and later the Dark Woman, Aurra Sings former Master. It was under the Dark Woman that Hett earned the rank of Jedi Knight.

During the Clone Wars, A'Sharad served as a General for the Galactic Republic and flew his Jedi Starfighter in air support during the Battle of Geonosis. He would also fight during many of the ground campaigns of the war, leading clone troopers on worlds such as Metalorn.

Hett was on a scouting mission, away from his troops, when Order 66 was given, though he did see other Jedi die. A'Sharad killed the clones assigned to execute him, keeping one alive just long enough to learn what had happened. Then he fled, attempting to reach other Jedi, hearing from none, sensing none.

Believing himself the only Jedi to have survived, Hett made his way back to his homeworld of Tatooine, once again taking up his heritage and donning the wrappings of a Tusken Raider, and became a war leader of several Tusken clans, like his father before him. Hett led these clans against human settlements that had encroached on Tusken lands, while at the same time silently preparing for his own private war against the Galactic Empire. Hett's leadership and skills, honed in the Clone Wars, did much to reverse the losses the Tuskens had suffered since the death of his father. The Tuskens became a feared fighting force again, reclaiming land they believed was rightfully theirs.

It was upon leading the Tusken army on a raid on a small moisture farm that Hett came into contact with fellow Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi. Kenobi believed that Hetts actions were leading him to the Dark Side and failing to find agreement the two engaged in Lightsaber combat. Obi-Wan won the duel by severing the arm of Hett and banishing him on the honor of Hetts father from Tattooine forever.

Hett became a Bounty Hunter, surpressing his Jedi abilities. Whilst pursuing a bounty on the dark planet of Korriban, Hett heard a voice summon him from within the Force. He came upon a Sith Holocron filled with the teachings of an ancient Sith Lord and was offered to be tought the teachings of the Sith. Hett accepted, taking in the teachings and deluding himself to the notion that he was pretending, in order to gain enough power to defeat Vader and Palpatine and restore order to the Galaxy.

He descended into the tombs of the ancient Sith and grew in both knowledge and power, but when he resurfaced from the tombs, he found that more time had passed than he had thought; the Battle of Endor had already taken place, and the Emperor and Vader had already been defeated by Luke Skywalker. Disillusioned yet again, Hett left Korriban behind and made for the Unknown Regions determined to lose himself.

For years, he has resided in the darkness, watching events unfold across the galaxy, and now he is ready to return.

Character Class (choose one): Force sensitive

What Font and Color will you be using for your character's speech:Normal, Dark Green

Items (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! What major weapons and the like does your character carry? Such as a lightsaber, a rigged Sabaac deck, a blaster pistol, vibro-knife, wookie crossbow, telescopic lenses, etc): Twin Lightsabers. Both his fathers and his own.

Character Personality (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! Give a solid description on how your character acts, their morals, etc): A'Sharad was always devoted to the Jedi ways and philosophies, even accepting the deaths of fellow Jedi during the Clone Wars. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to instill these beliefs in a young Anakin Skywalker. Had he been able to, Darth Vader may never have existed. However, with the advent of the great Jedi Purge, Hetts entire belief system fell apart and he fell ever deeper and ever closer to the Dark Side.

Character Alignment (Choose one): Neutral / Evil

Why have you chosen this character, and what are your plans for them: I want to be able to add a real sense of menace to this Galaxy and throw in a foil for Luke and the New Republic.

What can you bring to Star Wars: The RPG: Passion, Enthusiasm and Creativity

How often can you post IN A DAY in this RPG: As many as needed

Sample Post (write a sample post that is at least 4 paragraphs long and containing at least 3 lines of dialogue):

His eyes closed tight as his concentration grew. The Force enveloped the huge durasteel doors in fornt of him and he felt its power swell within him. holding his arms out in front of to focus the energy, he slowly parted his arms, spreading them open. With a carcophany of creaks and groans, the huge doors relented and gave in to his will. Each buckled and twisted and writhed under his influence and parted enogh to granted him entry.

A'Sharad Hett wiped his palms on the outer thighs of his leggings and made his way into the pitch black darkness beyond. The voice was no longer speaking in his head as it had done since he landed on Korriban, but he still felt th presence of something... an entity, strong in the Force, especially in the Dark Side. Hett stopped in the darkness and spread out his Force awareness through the dark anti-chamber and both above and below the floor he was on. He sensed nothing. Satisfied, and having allowed a few moments for his eyesight to adjust to the gloom, he delved deeper.

As he reached the middle of the room, a single light shone down from high above, highlighting a pedistal, upon it a velvet red cushion and a small triangular object, blue and glowing faintly. Hetts senses tinglied and instinctively he reached for the lightsabers buckled at his sides. With grim determination he moved to the pedistal and reached out, both physically and with the Force towards the object. Still, with silence within the force and no immediate threat sensed he reached out and took the object.

As he palmed the object, blue light flared from its peak, a sapphire mist enveloping Hett and filling the room with light. The walls were decorated lavishly with long swirling patterns and various shapes, like a tapestry of dancing strokes. The light and mist pooled infront of Hett and took the wraith-like form a woman, alien and ancient and yet familiar all at the same time.

Hett stepped back and gripped the object in his grasp slighlty tighter. The image of the woman simply smiled at him. Her long dark hair fell thin and straight down the sides of her head, her fingers extending into long, vicious talons, yet her face seemed innocent, almost child-like.

"Who are you? What are you?" Hett demanded, his voice firm and commanding, despite his deep unease.

"I am Xoxaan. I was one of the first Sith lords, one of the first to abandon the Jedi Order to seek a darker path to truth".

The mists swirled around him, encircling his waist and twisting down his leg, to merge with the gathering mists around his boots.



"My tomb has lain in the belly of this temple for long ages, my presence hidden from those who saught me... until now.

"I have waited for someone like you, someone who has served the light and found it empty, who has found how lacking the Galaxy is. Someone who has known anger, hate... and despair".


Hetts mind cast back through the halls of time and to memories darker and more clouded than he ever realised...

Aurra Sing killing his father...

Realising his mother was not Tusken as he had spent a lifetime believing...

Order 66 and the great Jedi Purge, his friends, his brothers and sisters-in-arms betrayed and slaughtered mercilessly...

The young Skywalker who his failure to impress sound beliefs upon becoming a God-Like overlord to the Galaxy...

His battle with Obi-Wan and humiliating exile from his people and his homeworld...

His failure and loss of everything he held dear...

It was in that moment that Hett realised that he was truly alone in the Galaxy, that he had nothing and no one to live for. His gaze fell to the floor as the weight of the universe settled upon his shoulders like a dark cloak. And he barely registered that the sweet, sibilant voice of the Sith lord Xoxaan was still enveloping him.

"Yes... you have felt it and you will learn to embrace those feelings and harness it, master and it will make you stronger than you ever imagined. My brethren and I invented what it meant to be a Sith. Are you willing to open yourself to that truth?"


With a heavy heart and a dark cloud shrouding his senses Hett gazed up into the eyes of the ghost.

"Yes... My Master".


Do you know how to post pictures on the Hype:

[Catman_prb]

Ooooh. I'll leave that up to JB, cos he's pre-Purge, but not a jedi as such...Still, very good character choice :up:

[Optikal]

Well here's my arguement for:

Star Wars ALWAYS has three elements... A political angle, a philosophical angle, and The Force. Right now, we have political and military elements, but no threat or foil or even counter-point for Lukes attempts to build the Jedi. Plus, if he creates an Academy or a Council, who is going to sit on it? Leia, Luke and Corran?

To shut out actual canon characters but allow non-canon characters seems very... backwards to me. People like Quinlan Vos, A'Sharad Hett and K'Kruhk have as much credability to the universe as Leia, Ackbar, Mon Mothma, Corran horn or even Skywalker. To deny them for whatever reason seems to defeat the purpose of a Star Wars RPG and cutting out Jedi is tantamount to cutting out the very heart of the Star Wars universe.

Plus, I REALLY want to retell his evolution into Darth Krayt and the rebirth of the Sith Order to help grow this RPG.

[Optikal]

Damn stupid Hype Gremlins, messing up posts :/

[Gallagher]

Very good points :up:

[NiteMare Shape]

Very good points :up:

Indeed

[absonic93]

woah woah woah, let's not be too hasty about Leia getting force training........

[NiteMare Shape]

I'll get a post up soon...well, depending on when everything gets moving our way, kinda sitting in limbo for the time being, but it's cool...I'm in no rush

[Rain Dog]

So is the council all done for the time being?

[Gallagher]

I'll get a post up soon...well, depending on when everything gets moving our way, kinda sitting in limbo for the time being, but it's cool...I'm in no rush

I've been sitting in limbo since god knows when :wow:

Gave me chance to think one ***** of an arc through though :up:

[Corona Largesse]

Star Wars: The RPG Character Application

Screen Name: Corona Largesse

Character you wish to play: Ardana Vielle (veal)

Race: Twi'lek

Faction: New Republic

Background: Daughter of an imfamous Twi'lek family that attempted a coup against a pro-Imperial clan. The coup failed, and the family barely escaped, coming under heavy fighter from the Imperial blockade - Vielle survived, but was paralyzed in an onboard explosion. While the open defiance brought great renown outside of Ryloth, it brought more hardships and Imperial focus on a world that prided itself on being discreet in their support for the Rebellion - hatred towards the Vielle name was so great that it became too dangerous to return, even after Ryloth's liberation.

Exiled on Onderon, Vielle used the publicity to her advantage and quickly rose to prominence for her critiques of the Republic on the independant minded planet, eventually becoming Onderon's newly appointed Governor. Despite her wild popularity with the public in the region, Ardana is widely despised on her homeworld - her family evaded the exile order, and Ryloth has no historical taste for women in political power.

Character Class (choose one): Bureaucrat

What Font and Color will you be using for your character's speech: Palatino Linotype, purple.

Items (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! What major weapons and the like does your character carry? Such as a lightsaber, a rigged Sabaac deck, a blaster pistol, vibro-knife, wookie crossbow, telescopic lenses, etc): Vielle wears a tight bracelet full of small spikes that draw blood during vigorous movement and cause discomfort throughout the day, believing the universe will create an equal amount of comfort for others. She's also paralyzed from the waist down, using a repulsor chair instead of prosthetics. Carries a stingbeam, but is not really a fighter. Will usually travel with protection.

Character Personality (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! Give a solid description on how your character acts, their morals, etc): Despite being an exuberant and inspiring figure in political life, Vielle is a calculating pragmatist when she isn't on the holonet (in the mold of her political idol, Borsk Fey'lya). Strongly opposes the idea of a new Jedi Order and is very wary of the Republic. This isn't purely a thirst for notoriety like Fey'lya, but a genuine feeling that a concentration of power in a central government can only lead to a neverending cycle of atrocity.

Character Alignment (Choose one): Neutral

Why have you chosen this character, and what are your plans for them: Somebody needs to keep all these high falutin' Jedi's in check, dammit! Kyp Durron, unfortunately, is too young and immature at this point of the timeline to bring the kind of dissection of Luke Skywalker that he can bring later in life, not to mention that I'd have no idea how to get him off Kessel - and I don't want to do Borsk because I don't want to live solely in the political realm having debates with Leia or whatever. And I wanted to do a nonhuman, just because there's so many humans running around.

My immediate plans are for Vielle to be a political antagonist to Skywalker's bunch, and I'll see where that leads.

What can you bring to Star Wars: The RPG: Keyser Soze and Affliction will vouch for my awesomeness.

How often can you post IN A DAY in this RPG: Um... a whole lot. Realisitcally, once or twice every day or so. I'm not the type to disappear for long periods.

Sample Post (write a sample post that is at least 4 paragraphs long and containing at least 3 lines of dialogue):

(very rough outline of my intro)

"You will notice," Ardana Vielle told the roaring crowd, "that on this distinguised occasion, in front of the many races of our world, I have not spoken a word of Basic."

The applause echoed - a polite tapping from the King and Queen, and something different from the crowd gathered a few feet below. At times, she wondered if she were more popular than the royal family, and for an offworlder (a Twi'lek at that), even being able to wonder was no small feat. She smiled and continued. Certain subtleties of her speech would be lost to most of the crowd (as they had no lekku), but all of Onderon would receieve the message. And hopefully, so would Coruscant. With any luck, the name Ardana Vielle would be on the entire world's lips by the time she touched planetside.

"There are times when Basic serves a good purpose - just as there are times when this New Republic will serve a good purpose. It is the common language, just as the council (when checked by a vigilant people) serves the common good. But when their search for a common good imposes on our freedom at home, we must seek the uncommon good of planetary rights. It is the same good that inspired a humble family of Ryloth to defy an Empire, and it is the same good that allows a human King and Queen to deliver a non-human to represent our interests as Governor!"

Vielle struggled not to roll her eyes. Her selection was a purely political play. Bringing her into the government would keep her out of the role of agitator and keep the diverse faction of nonhumans and liberal natives in check. She didn't fault them for it, and in fact, it pleased her - while the Royal Family made most of the high level choices, the Governor handled the administration and execution of those orders, directly manipulating the levers of power. There were certain... minor choices... that could be leveraged to increase her profile. The Republic would be reconvening the Senate in the coming years, and she intended to make leverage of it. A Core world that preached Rim politics could be very influential as a mediating force...

"When I speak of the essential goodness inside of my fellow sentients on Onderon and across the Republic, it is not merely a platitude, a rhetorical vault for a plea for more power for politicians on Coruscant. For when I speak of the wounds that a government in control of its people can inflict, I have felt those wounds." She glanced down at the chair that confined her, and back to the crowd. "I wear them proudly. I make no effort to hide them. And I am constantly reminded that it is the duty of all free sentients to preserve to cause of freedom for the next generation. I did not earn these wounds to trade one Empire for another!"

This crowd, twenty-thousand strong, erupted into boos. Ardana pressed her lips together and gave a narrow grin. No, the voices in the crowd, broadcast across the galaxy, they said more than enough.

"Slowly, democracy is returning to the galaxy. But we must ask ourselves whether it will be a friendly visage of the old order, with the smiling faces of a roomful of military officers to replace that of a sole depraved Emperor, or a true free Republic that embraces the rights and freedoms of its members. We must join and fight, not to bolster the Republic military or to be ordered who to trade with at what rates by a distant councilwoman who has never laid eyes on our world, but for the independent voice of Onderon - and the uncommon good that unites us all."

Vielle smiled and watched the streamers fall. The game ahead would be a long one, but it would be one she was determined to win.

Do you know how to post pictures on the Hype: Of course.

A'Sharad killed the clones assigned to execute him, keeping one alive just long enough to learn what had happened. Then he fled, attempting to reach other Jedi, hearing from none, sensing none.

Believing himself the only Jedi to have survived, Hett made his way back to his homeworld of Tatooine, once again taking up his heritage and donning the wrappings of a Tusken Raider, and became a war leader of several Tusken clans, like his father before him. Hett led these clans against human settlements that had encroached on Tusken lands, while at the same time silently preparing for his own private war against the Galactic Empire. Hett's leadership and skills, honed in the Clone Wars, did much to reverse the losses the Tuskens had suffered since the death of his father. The Tuskens became a feared fighting force again, reclaiming land they believed was rightfully theirs.

It was upon leading the Tusken army on a raid on a small moisture farm that Hett came into contact with fellow Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi. Kenobi believed that Hetts actions were leading him to the Dark Side and failing to find agreement the two engaged in Lightsaber combat. Obi-Wan won the duel by severing the arm of Hett and banishing him on the honor of Hetts father from Tattooine forever.

Hett became a Bounty Hunter, surpressing his Jedi abilities. Whilst pursuing a bounty on the dark planet of Korriban, Hett heard a voice summon him from within the Force. He came upon a Sith Holocron filled with the teachings of an ancient Sith Lord and was offered to be tought the teachings of the Sith. Hett accepted, taking in the teachings and deluding himself to the notion that he was pretending, in order to gain enough power to defeat Vader and Palpatine and restore order to the Galaxy.

He descended into the tombs of the ancient Sith and grew in both knowledge and power, but when he resurfaced from the tombs, he found that more time had passed than he had thought; the Battle of Endor had already taken place, and the Emperor and Vader had already been defeated by Luke Skywalker. Disillusioned yet again, Hett left Korriban behind and made for the Unknown Regions determined to lose himself.

For years, he has resided in the darkness, watching events unfold across the galaxy, and now he is ready to return.

Character Class (choose one): Force sensitive

What Font and Color will you be using for your character's speech:Normal, Dark Green

Items (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! What major weapons and the like does your character carry? Such as a lightsaber, a rigged Sabaac deck, a blaster pistol, vibro-knife, wookie crossbow, telescopic lenses, etc): Twin Lightsabers. Both his fathers and his own.

Character Personality (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! Give a solid description on how your character acts, their morals, etc): A'Sharad was always devoted to the Jedi ways and philosophies, even accepting the deaths of fellow Jedi during the Clone Wars. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to instill these beliefs in a young Anakin Skywalker. Had he been able to, Darth Vader may never have existed. However, with the advent of the great Jedi Purge, Hetts entire belief system fell apart and he fell ever deeper and ever closer to the Dark Side.

Character Alignment (Choose one): Neutral / Evil

Why have you chosen this character, and what are your plans for them: I want to be able to add a real sense of menace to this Galaxy and throw in a foil for Luke and the New Republic.

What can you bring to Star Wars: The RPG: Passion, Enthusiasm and Creativity

How often can you post IN A DAY in this RPG: As many as needed

Sample Post (write a sample post that is at least 4 paragraphs long and containing at least 3 lines of dialogue):

His eyes closed tight as his concentration grew. The Force enveloped the huge durasteel doors in fornt of him and he felt its power swell within him. holding his arms out in front of to focus the energy, he slowly parted his arms, spreading them open. With a carcophany of creaks and groans, the huge doors relented and gave in to his will. Each buckled and twisted and writhed under his influence and parted enogh to granted him entry.

A'Sharad Hett wiped his palms on the outer thighs of his leggings and made his way into the pitch black darkness beyond. The voice was no longer speaking in his head as it had done since he landed on Korriban, but he still felt th presence of something... an entity, strong in the Force, especially in the Dark Side. Hett stopped in the darkness and spread out his Force awareness through the dark anti-chamber and both above and below the floor he was on. He sensed nothing. Satisfied, and having allowed a few moments for his eyesight to adjust to the gloom, he delved deeper.

As he reached the middle of the room, a single light shone down from high above, highlighting a pedistal, upon it a velvet red cushion and a small triangular object, blue and glowing faintly. Hetts senses tinglied and instinctively he reached for the lightsabers buckled at his sides. With grim determination he moved to the pedistal and reached out, both physically and with the Force towards the object. Still, with silence within the force and no immediate threat sensed he reached out and took the object.

As he palmed the object, blue light flared from its peak, a sapphire mist enveloping Hett and filling the room with light. The walls were decorated lavishly with long swirling patterns and various shapes, like a tapestry of dancing strokes. The light and mist pooled infront of Hett and took the wraith-like form a woman, alien and ancient and yet familiar all at the same time.

Hett stepped back and gripped the object in his grasp slighlty tighter. The image of the woman simply smiled at him. Her long dark hair fell thin and straight down the sides of her head, her fingers extending into long, vicious talons, yet her face seemed innocent, almost child-like.

"Who are you? What are you?" Hett demanded, his voice firm and commanding, despite his deep unease.

"I am Xoxaan. I was one of the first Sith lords, one of the first to abandon the Jedi Order to seek a darker path to truth".

The mists swirled around him, encircling his waist and twisting down his leg, to merge with the gathering mists around his boots.



"My tomb has lain in the belly of this temple for long ages, my presence hidden from those who saught me... until now.

"I have waited for someone like you, someone who has served the light and found it empty, who has found how lacking the Galaxy is. Someone who has known anger, hate... and despair".


Hetts mind cast back through the halls of time and to memories darker and more clouded than he ever realised...

Aurra Sing killing his father...

Realising his mother was not Tusken as he had spent a lifetime believing...

Order 66 and the great Jedi Purge, his friends, his brothers and sisters-in-arms betrayed and slaughtered mercilessly...

The young Skywalker who his failure to impress sound beliefs upon becoming a God-Like overlord to the Galaxy...

His battle with Obi-Wan and humiliating exile from his people and his homeworld...

His failure and loss of everything he held dear...

It was in that moment that Hett realised that he was truly alone in the Galaxy, that he had nothing and no one to live for. His gaze fell to the floor as the weight of the universe settled upon his shoulders like a dark cloak. And he barely registered that the sweet, sibilant voice of the Sith lord Xoxaan was still enveloping him.

"Yes... you have felt it and you will learn to embrace those feelings and harness it, master and it will make you stronger than you ever imagined. My brethren and I invented what it meant to be a Sith. Are you willing to open yourself to that truth?"


With a heavy heart and a dark cloud shrouding his senses Hett gazed up into the eyes of the ghost.

"Yes... My Master".

Star Wars: The RPG Character Application

Screen Name: Optikal

Character you wish to play: Natasi Daala

Race (such as Human, Wookie, Transdoshan, Hutt, Twi'lek, Rodian, Bothan, droid, Mon Calimari, etc): Human

Faction (does your character belong to a group, such as the New Republic, The Imperial Remnant, the Bounty Hunter's Guild, a specific crime syndicate, etc): The Imperial Remnant

Background (list the history of your character here. Created Characters Must Be Thorough!): Though lacking the strategic grace of other Imperial commanders, Admiral Natasi Daala's rank is an anomaly in the predominantly male Imperial military.

Despite her promising successes as a student and later, young officer, she was constantly passed over for promotion on the basis of gender alone. Graduating from the Imperial Academy, Daala's career was foundering. In frustration, she crafted a false computer identity and entered contests of strategy against battle-hardened veterans. She bested some of Carida's best instructors in these virtual engagements.

Moff Tarkin of the Outer Rim Territories took notice of young Daala's determination and skill. He uncovered her true identity, and began to school her as his personal military prot?g?. It was Tarkin's influence that allowed Daala to ascend to the rank of Admiral, and he placed her in command of a quartet of Imperial Star Destroyers patrolling the Outer Rim Territories.

Tarkin entrusted the protection of a top-secret military think-tank installation to Daala. Maw Installation, as it was called, was a weapons research facility like no other, sunken into a stable patch of space amidst the churning black holes of the Maw Cluster. In this remote base, some of the Empire's brightest scientific minds created designs for new Imperial weaponry, including the first in a series of Death Stars.

Daala was given express orders to never abandon her post, to stay at Maw Installation, and to maintain communication silence until Tarkin returned. Tarkin never returned, having died in the explosion that consumed the Death Star.

For over a decade Daala and her task force stood watch over Maw Installation. As it was Tarkin's most closely guarded secret, no other Imperials ever knew of it. The concentration of treacherous black holes made accidental discovery of the base an impossibility. For 11 years Daala's fighting forces atrophied.

Character Class (choose one): Imperial Admiral

What Font and Color will you be using for your character's speech: Normal, Light Purple.

Items (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! What major weapons and the like does your character carry? Such as a lightsaber, a rigged Sabaac deck, a blaster pistol, vibro-knife, wookie crossbow, telescopic lenses, etc): None.

Character Personality (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! Give a solid description on how your character acts, their morals, etc):
Daala is an aggressive commander who harbored much frustration at being so poorly treated in the Imperial command structure. She was considered to be remarkably charismatic, but due to her gender and suspect manner of promotion this was often ignored.

She also could be ruthless, ordering the bombardment of colonies, the destruction of merchant vessels, the torture of prisoners, and the destruction of worlds with seemingly no remorse. Daala was often prone to great fury which she found difficult to constrain, but found that attacking a target during battle was the best way to release her anger. She felt that outbursts of one's anger were unprofessional, and restrained herself mostly to serve as an example to her crewmen. She was also mistrustful of Force-users, both light and dark-side, and believed that the galaxy would be better off without them.

Daala was also devoted to the cause of the Empire almost to the point of irrationalism —at least in the eyes of the post-Endor warlords— and to following orders, remaining at the Maw installation for years without any outside contact. She also was willing to go to great lengths to further that cause, including killing other Imperial leaders, wanting to sacrifice a Star Destroyer to destroy Coruscant, and sacrificing her own life for the Empire. Often before making a decision or when contemplating failure, Daala would think of Tarkin, imagining his rage in the case of the latter.

Beneath the carefully calculated façade used to inspire loyalty in her crew, however, Daala did have a soft side, which she displayed very rarely to those she led or fought against, since, being a woman Daala strived to not show any weakness

Character Alignment (Choose one): Nuetral

Why have you chosen this character, and what are your plans for them: The New Republic is still in its fledgling stages and the Imperial Remnants are still many and very dangerous. Daala will help to consolidate this fact, posing yet another threat to a still fragile Galaxy.

What can you bring to Star Wars: The RPG: An open invitation to my sexy Fun-time Roller disco!

How often can you post IN A DAY in this RPG: As many as required

Sample Post (write a sample post that is at least 4 paragraphs long and containing at least 3 lines of dialogue):

She allowed herself a small smile. Glancing out from the viewport she was standing at, Admiral Natasi Daala gazed fondly at her fleet. Three of her four Imperial Star Destroyers, the Basilisk, the Hydra and her ship –the flagship- the Gorgon.

They were there to protect the Installation that she now stood within. The Maw Installation, the secret project of Grand Moff Tarkin, built from asteroids within the dangerous Maw Cluster was a Think Tank that had created the mighty Death Star and numerous other deadly super-weapons for the Empire. Natasi had not only been appointed the first female Admiral, but her fleet had also been assigned the honor of protecting and overseeing Tarkins project.

Natasis’ thoughts turned to the Grand Moff. He was many things to her… and advisor, a tutor, a friend and yes… a lover. He had taken the controversial decision to promote her to Admiral rank and she had tackled her orders of protecting the installation with relish. She both loved and respected Tarkin and scarcely a day went by when she didn’t think of him.

Five hours ago, she had received information that her fourth Star Destroyer, the Manticore, under the command of Captain Brusc, had come into contact with an Imperial vessel floating along the edge of the cluster. Daala had ordered the capture of the vessel and its occupants and their immediate deliverance to the Installation.

The door to her apartment swooshed open and a young man, fresh faced and handsome entered. He snapped off a crisp salute and stood there straight backed and perfectly posed. Natasi turned to him, her long red hair drawn back in a tightly, giving her a sterner look than usual.

“What is it?” She asked simply.

“The ship identified by the Manticore has docked in the Installation, Ma’am”.

“And it’s crew?”

The young officer coughed a little and the faintest hint of a frown crossed his face. “That’s the thing Admiral, there was no crew… no living crew anyway. The only thing that remains are empty escape pods and a few droids. We’re not entirely sure what happened.”

Daala returned the frown and glanced at the young man. Her curiosity had been piqued. The base had not heard from the rest of the Empire for many years and now they were gifted a transport but no inhabitants. “I’ll be down to inspect for myself in a moment. Go and inform the crew that I’m on my way.”

“Yes Ma’am” the boy saluted crisply once more and turned to leave.

“One more thing before you go…” she said, stopping him in his tracks.

“Yes Ma’am?” The young officer turned once more, his head inclined slightly to the left giving him the impression of a curious puppy.

“What’s your name?” she asked. The question brisk and to the point. Emotionless.

“Rowan Cadell, Ma’am. I’m a navigation junior officer assigned to the Basilisk”.

Daala smiled slightly. “I like the look of you Rowan Cadell, Consider yourself reassigned to the Gorgon. I expect you on duty at oh eight-hundred”.

“Thank you for the opportunity Ma’am” Rowan said, trying to suppress the grin welling up within him.

“Dismissed”, nodded Natasi. The young man left and her mind immediately jumped back to the puzzle in front of her. She wasn’t too worried though, after all, the mystery would surely be unravelled in due course

oooh, very nice choice. I was tossing around the idea of picking her up, but decided against it as my exposure to her is very limited, and truth be told I'm not sure I would have done her justice.

excellent choice, glad someone decided to give her a try

[Johnny Blaze]

Approved, you are.

oh and wiegabo, i'll get that R2 post up later as well. I've been really busy.

[Optikal]

Thanking ye.

I'm pretty much the same here Shape. I'm limited on my knowledge too. But with her main timeline falling slightly after our established time her in the RPG, I'm hoping to put my own spin on her escapades and make the character something slightly different to her canon counterpart.

[Johnny Blaze]

Sounds good to me. The inevitable meeting between her and Thrawn should be a good'n. :up:

That's what he does. Pops up, annoys the piss out of everyone, and dissapears for a few months before he comes back to do it all over again.

I know this game is going a little slow, and I haven't been on top of it myself, but don't kick me out or lose hope or anything. I'm still 100% committed, I've just been intensely busy with classes and volunteering - election season isn't over in GA. ;)

Weig, just so you know this is my ship, or a ship of the same class.

Starwinds rule.

[NiteMare Shape]

[Gallagher]

Incestual orgy!

[wiegeabo]

Orgy?

*gets camera*

[absonic93]

h/o i'm a little behind........ok maybe a lot.

[Rain Dog]

I'll try to get a post up by this weekend. I've been toiling away at college apps and the like for the past week and a half.

[NiteMare Shape]

been quiet lately, hopefully some folks will get some things in soon.

[wiegeabo]

Waiting on Leia to open the door. How dare she keep her own brother locked out!

I know, right? Can you say sibling rivalry?


I am thinking of picking up a second character so I can get some more posting in, but at the same time I'd like to just have Joren, so I can focus on developing him more.

Hell, I could always do a post with just the 2 girls who are out getting the apartment set up....

[Aktion]

So i'm gonna guess that creating someone from scratch is frowned upon most of the time??

Not at all. There are/were several created characters, mine included.

[NiteMare Shape]

Wow, it's been dead lately. Come on folks, lets get some posts up.

[wiegeabo]

*waves his hand*

You all want to post now...

[wiegeabo]

[NiteMare Shape]

woohoo! Maybe then we can get this arc moving again.....


J/P :D

[NiteMare Shape]

Nobody's posted in a week? That's no good...no good at all

[Rain Dog]

Err...sorry. I'll start working on my next post ASAP.

EDIT: IT IS DONE.

[NiteMare Shape]

I'll probably be putting together an app for a second character, just to give me something to do until the current arc gets rolling again

[wiegeabo]

I'll probably have Luke rip the door open with the Force so we can raid Leia's kitchen before going out and getting into another barfight.

Excellent. :D

Common Abs...what's the holdup? :cwink:

[NiteMare Shape]

I've started an app for a second character, I'll get it in sometime soon

[NiteMare Shape]

Star Wars: The RPG Character Application

Screen Name: NiteMare Shape

Character you wish to play: Sgt. Rowan "Hatchet" Shen (Novatrooper)

Race: Human

Faction (does your character belong to a group, such as the New Republic, The Imperial Remnant, the Bounty Hunter's Guild, a specific crime syndicate, etc): Imperial Remnant

Background (list the history of your character here. Created Characters Must Be Thorough!):
Rowan Shen was born on Corellia to a wealthy family. However, all his life he felt that something was missing, that he could do more for the galaxy. After his 18th birthday he left home to join the Imperial Army. His family did not understand, nor did they approve of his decision to join the Empire, as they themselves were dissatisfied with the direction that the galaxy was headed. (Eventually, his family would go on to contribute to the Rebel Alliance after the Battle of Yavin)
Rowan excelled at the Imperial Academy, and graduated at the top of his class. He was selected to join the ranks of the Imperial Stormtroopers, and excelled there as well, earning him a spot in an elite post, as a Novatrooper.
After the Empire's defeat at the battle of Endor, Rowan's company of novatroopers saw an increase in everyday battle, as opposed to the specialty missions that they were accustomed to. However, Rowan did not mind, as he seemed to enjoy the thrill of combat.
During the battle for Coruscant, Rowan met up with his sweetheart from Corellia, Lina Caro. However, it was not a happy reunion, as she had joined the rebels. Rowan tried to talk some sense into her, unfortunately he was unable to convince her that she was on the wrong side, and he was forced to shoot her.
Where such a turn of events would shake many people to their core, this only solidified Rowan's resolve. He believed that the Rebel Alliance had brainwashed his former love, and he had vowed crush the rebels wherever they may be.
Character Class (choose one):

Soldier: stormtrooper (novatrooper)


What Font and Color will you be using for your character's speech: Verdana Grey

Items (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! What major weapons and the like does your character carry? Such as a lightsaber, a rigged Sabaac deck, a blaster pistol, vibro-knife, wookie crossbow, telescopic lenses, etc): DLT Heavy Blaster rifle, SE-14r Sidearm, vibro-knife, thermal detonator, Imperial Remnant resources

Character Personality (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! Give a solid description on how your character acts, their morals, etc): Rowan is a loyal member of the Novatroopers, elite stormtrooper corps. He believes wholeheartedly in the Empire and what it represents. Will go to any lengths to preserve the remnant, and restore the Empire to glory.

Character Alignment (Choose one): Evil

Why have you chosen this character, and what are your plans for them: To fight for truth, justice and the Imperial Way

What can you bring to Star Wars: The RPG: Another active character in this game, experience.

How often can you post IN A DAY in this RPG: As often as needed
Sample Post (write a sample post that is at least 4 paragraphs long and containing at least 3 lines of dialogue):

Although we controlled the planet, there were still pockets of resistance here and there. Opportunists and troublemakers, looking to take advantage of what they see as a weakened Empire. Looking to make a profit at our expense. But The Empire will not let that stand, especially not here...not in Harnaidan. Granted, the city isn't what it once was...it never really recovered from the devastation that it suffered during the Clone Wars, but many in of the Muun still saw this city as an important part of their history, and there was always talk about restoring the city to it's former glory. There is a very good chance that if we don't stomp out the seeds of rebellion here, we could lose the entire planet in time...and that is not something that we are willing to allow.

"Hatchet, the leaders of this little party are holed up in the abandoned residential complex offices. I want you to take Striker, Navo, and Squat and take them out. If we try to take the whole place by force, we'll take a lot of casualties, but a small team can get in there and do what has to be done."

"Yes Sir."

We begin down the street, ducking blaster fire from every which direction. We return fire, sometimes hitting our targets, sometimes not, but always making it known that we are not to be trifled with. Unfortunately the traitors don't seem to take the hint. I watch as a blaster bolt takes one of my brothers down. One of the boys checks on him, but there's nothing that can be done. The rebel scum in this city are going to pay.

"Look alive boys, our targets are just up ahead in those offices."

We get to the building housing the offices, where the leaders of this little insurgency are holed up, like the vermin they are. As my men and I approach the entrances, I use hand signals to designate when each man should make his move...and after just a few moments we are inside. We move silently down the hall toward the office where the traitors sit, watching their plans unfold. We get to the door leading into the office, and surprise, surprise...it's locked. Striker places a small charge on the door, and steps back. The door explodes in a storm of smoke and sparks, and we move in. I survey the room, 2 Muuns, a Bothan, and 3 humans. One of the Muuns steps forward.

"You win. We surrender."

Cowards, the lot of them. They are brave and rebellious until they have to meet us face to face. They are brave until they can't hide anymore. I level my DLT Heavy Blaster at them.

"Sorry, we're not here to arrest you."

I'll never forget the look on their faces as we opened fire.




Do you know how to post pictures on the Hype:
http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo63/NMShape/Novatrooper.jpg

yes

[Catman_prb]

Approved.

[Aktion]

So I can't think of any ideas for a character so if any of you have an opinion on what we need please tell me. Wheather we need a light side or dark side character it doesn't really matter.

[NiteMare Shape]

On the first page there's a list of characters that haven't been taken, but I'd double check with the roster as well.

again, we need both good and bad so it's really up to you.

[absonic93]

oh dear, somebody should really try to find her. Issue the Amber Alert!

[absonic93]

HALLELUJAH! She's found!

[NiteMare Shape]

HALLELUJAH! She's found!


:pal:

[absonic93]

yeah i'm sure the last thing you guys want is more to drink, but Leia's polite :)

[NiteMare Shape]

The hype ate my new Hatchet post....:cmad:

[NiteMare Shape]

suure...now it works.....

I liked it better the way it was before I lost it...Oh well.


:(

[NiteMare Shape]

I'll get a Joren post in sometime, once the arc calls for it.

[NiteMare Shape]

New Joren post. Not a much of one, but a post none the less

[NiteMare Shape]

so...maybe we should get this arc rolling again. It's getting a bit...stagnant.

[wiegeabo]

*wakes up under a ton of cobwebs*

Wha-? Obi-wan? Is that you?

lol, thanks, that made me laugh. Had a rough couple of days...I needed that.

Though, any ideas to move things along?

[wiegeabo]

Well, I don't know. I need to look back and see what the droids found because I've forgotten.

And it's hard to go see the Valley of the Jedi with Kyle...

[NiteMare Shape]

Well, I don't know. I need to look back and see what the droids found because I've forgotten.

And it's hard to go see the Valley of the Jedi with Kyle...


Yeah, that's very true. It is possible to start looking for force sensitives around the galaxy though, we could always move in that direction. Using the Valley of the Jedi as one of those places we have to track down.

[wiegeabo]

Ok, we can follow the lead Artoo found in the message one of the Jedi Masters left.

[NiteMare Shape]

Sounds good.

And we could even use the time between planets as "training time." That way we don't have to to necessarilly detail the Jedi training that is being done.

[absonic93]

ATTENTION: I'm dropping R2-D2 cause I'm really busy lately and he's hard to write for...that is all.

[NiteMare Shape]

I'll be getting a new Joren post up soon, and a Rowan post for that matter

[wiegeabo]

Beep you. :p
