Re: OOC: CHARACTER CREATION

@Khulod, @conorwf.

Your bickering serves no purpose other than to divide the clans, a fate worse than Mandalore being ruled by a pacifist.  For the clans united are strong, regardless of the Manda'lor.  Seperate, and feuding, however, the clans can be destroyed one by one.  Surely the annihilation of our entire race is far less following the Way than going through a season of apparent weakness.

Re: OOC: CHARACTER CREATION

If we surrender what makes us mando'a, we will have been destroyed without a shot being fired.

If the choice is literal annihilation on the field of battle, or the metaphorical annihilation by abandoning our religion, our tradition, our very identity, any true Mandalorian would choose the former.

In reply to Khulod (msg # 101):

apologies that I mispelled it the first time, but Satine Kryze is Mandalore during the Clone Wars; a pacifist and leader of the "New Mandalorians".

Re: OOC: CHARACTER CREATION

Funny stuff:

Harmony is good --  but where it fails, there's always triage!

Go ahead - get rough with each other!   My talents include biotech, amongst others. Installing cybernetics is a very rewarding art,   (plus, you can have a dramatic moment where you arise from the operating table, and let forth a bellowing  Noooooooo!!)

Seriously:

For every point of dispute, there are usually four or five points of consensus. Better to focus on those?    The GM can address murky areas, and is the one who gets to say if a character, their philosophy, and approach to life, fit the setting.

Star Wars fan base is renown for its clashes.  We're all flawed, fallible humans, bound to do things that annoy someone else.  Live and let live?

If you used logic as much as you used copy and paste you would recongize if that were true, Mandalorians, Jedi, and Sith could not be a part of this game, as they are things that canonically exist.

If  you have a problem, take it up with me in private, or go to the GM.

First off, Rude! Second off, I did use logic. That's why I know said factions are in fact in the game because our DM put them in the worldbuilding threads. Thirdly, you brought up the non-existent history as fact, and I correct you in the same thread by bringing up another fact about the game you seem to have missed lest others pick up such things as fact. The only mistake on my part is not recognizing your immaturity and subsequent response ahead of time so we could have been spared that shameful display you just made.

You're going to repeat something five times when once is fine, and complain about rudeness?

Re: OOC: CHARACTER CREATION

GM Shroompunk:
Sorry I haven't been as responsive the last couple of days. Weekends are normally busier for me-- I'm never really busy, objectively speaking-- but I've slept two 16 hour nights in a row and I've been doing my patriotic best to contribute to my country's opioid crisis.

I think we've got a pretty good clue where our battle lines are.

Character Creation:
  • 27 Point Buy or Standard Array.
  • 2 Backgrounds, 3 if you're Human.
  • 4th level.


I'll start cleaning up the worldbuilding threads in the next couple of days. If everyone could PM me their starting (PC) alliances, the values I asked for, and their relationships (good & bad) with some of our Factions, I'll start spinning the plates for you.

GM Shroompunk:
Maybe use the Backgrounds as examples, but a statement of how you'd see the world in the Light, plus a passion that you'd follow into the Dark-- like Anakin's obsession with protecting his loved ones-- and then a statement of a Dark side passion and the attachment that you can't sacrifice to it, that threatens to drag you back down into the Light.

Like having two space wolves inside you.


But which of these wolves will win? Obviously, the one that will get you to level 5 the fastest.

Re: OOC: CHARACTER CREATION

Here are some characters I'm considering:

Vetrai Yaze
Zabrak Operative or Operative/Scout
Backgrounds: Agent or Investigator/Mercenary
Vetrai works in a loose fashion with either Separatist Intelligence or a criminal organization.  She's supportive of Maul and his brother's cause but wants to keep at a distance from them due to their brutal methods.

Stasia
Codru-Ji Scout
Backgrounds: 2 of (Spacer,Racer,Laborer) not sure which one I'll drop from the concept
Stasia lived on a planet that was at the heart of the conflict years ago, and bears some resentment towards the Republic from the evacuation, but hasn't been outright affiliated with anyone until now.  She works aboard various ships and stations to get by.

R3-R14N3
Astromech (Droid Class 2) Engineer
Backgrounds: Holonet Tech/Scientist
"Raine" has been an existing connection with another PC and assists that person with their work, though they do not respect the concept of droid ownership.

____

Does anyone want to work together on shared background/goals on one of these?  I know a couple other people have posted about Separatist/Criminal ties where characters might have known each other/start out traveling together.

Re: OOC: CHARACTER CREATION

I'd enjoy working something out with you, Jill.

If Vetrai does work with a criminal organization, that'd be the most straightforward one.

If it's Stasia, my character on occasion does random acts of kindness or mercy.   It's possible she might have medically treated Stasia, or someone who matters to her.*

A droid assistant would be handy, but a waste for an astromech.   They need to be with an intrepid pilot.


*This could potentially go for some other character, as well.

Re: OOC: CHARACTER CREATION

To all you folks going the scout/slicer/intelligence agent route... I'd be happy to have had our PCs crossed paths as a Jedi. Maybe you were working on trying to convert me as an agent, or we met and you fed me a cover story, or maybe you needed help getting out of a scrape and I lent a hand.

Just because you're in the separatist/syndicate line of work doesn't mean we can't be friends! :D

I'm leaning more towards Vetrai at the moment.  Some of the other Separatist/criminal leaning players are discussing connections via PM, do you want to be involved?

I would be interested in connections with those of Separatist/criminal tendencies. Sith need allies too, after all.

Wynternight, it took me awhile to figure out where I'd seen your rpol handle before, but eventually I did.  Once upon a time, in another galaxy, I was your employee.
