A New Start

[xenoarchaeologist]

(Note: this is my very first RP post, and my character is completely open to whatever will come his way. Please read the following post; afterwards, it's up to you to determine how he becomes entangled in the conflicts and adventures of your roleplay--maybe you get into a scrap at the cantina and he jumps in, or maybe you're looking for a ride to another planet...).


Al Sedda didn't have any special affiliations, biases, or political preferences. In truth, he couldn't afford to. He needed credits--and badly.

When the swoop gang had descended on his uncle's droid repair shop (refer to bio: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/51282-al-sedda/), Sedda had fled Coruscant's underworld. He had taken his uncle's XS Freighter, The Deep Wind, and escaped to the planet's surface, piloting through streams of air traffic, up through the giant ventilation shafts that served as the exits and entrances between Coruscant's surface and undercities.

Sedda had been to the surface before, having flown his uncle's ship on various occasions to pickup and deliver various shipments of questionable items, including spice and weapons. However, Al Sedda had never breached Coruscant's atmosphere--he had never been off-world. The XS Freighter was capable of jumping to Hyperspace, but the fact of the matter was, Sedda didn't have enough credits to leave. Even if he did, where would he go?

He had been forced to leave everything behind, including the savings he had been scrounging since adolescence, and he didn't dare return. His uncle's gambling debt and spice addiction had finally caught up to him. His uncle was in all likelihood dead, and if Sedda couldn't accumulate the credits to refuel and get off-world, he might be too. The gang was still looking for him, if only for the ship.

And so there he was, sitting in a surface cantina clutching a half-empty glass of spirits, surrounded by strangers and alien humanoids, some drunk, some laughing, some arguing, and others whispering quietly in seclusion...

Kelictu sits at a stool at the bar, not too far from the most populated table in the room so then he can witness any fights that occur at the table. He'd stay weary for anyone who despises Barabels, only for a silver, holographic transmitter falls out of his pocket,with the name "Lizzy" on it. the transmitter rolls to the only human that is at the table, the transmitter stopping at his foot.

 

[Helion Idbraska]

Helion came into the cantina, he looked around, looking for any possible candidates for the job. He turned at the bar and saw a Barabel, not much toughness in him, but maybe if he was smart it could work. He grabbed a chair and sat next to him, he then looked at the transmitter, he thought it could be a Holographic simulation "Is that yours mate?". As he turned his sight up, he saw a brown hairded man. He then whispered "Or his".

Kelictu would turn around at the man, looking down at the floor, seeing his transmitter

"Oh, yes, thank you... oh good god i don't know what i would of done without this...thank you so much..."

Kelictu places the transmitter back into his pocket more securely than before it fell out the first time

 

[xenoarchaeologist]

Sedda had been lounging in the cantina all afternoon and probably wouldn't leave until the bartender forced him out at closing. He had nowhere else to go; it was either the cantina or his uncle's XS Freighter, which was grounded for the time being until Sedda could afford to refuel it.

The galaxy revolves around credits, Sedda thought, sighing to himself.

Doubtless, the swoop gangsters had ransacked his uncle's shop, the rear of which had served as their living quarters. Even if the gangsters had managed to overlook the stash of credits stuffed into his mattress, they would likely be keeping vigil over the shop in case Sedda returned. If he did return, he knew that they would kill him.

Suddenly the cantina entrance door WHOOSHED open--sliding automatically--and a man in black stepped through. His armor glinted and his scarlet shoulder cape furled as he made his way through the bustling patrons, most of which moved aside hurriedly. Sedda eyed the man, noting the rifle slung across his back and the double blasters holstered at his sides. A soldier, Sedda though. Or bounty hunter. Whatever he was, the man in glinting black armor looked dangerous--the kind of dangerous you'd rather have on your side than against you.

To Sedda's surprise, the man took a seat directly beside a very large barabel, a reptilian humanoid whose species was notorious for pirating, soldiering, and mercenary work. Sedda wondered if they knew each other.

Clink Clink

The barabel had dropped a holotransmitter and the man in black armor scooped it up. The man in black said something, glancing at the Barabel then at Sedda, but suddenly Sedda's attention was diverted when the cantina entrance WHOOSHED open again. This time, a squad of five Imperial troopers stepped through. The man in black armor seemed to notice too, because his hands dropped casually to his blasters.

"Here we go again" Helion said, then turned to them "Come with me, they know I talked to you, even a single look is enough for them to interrogate you and then kill you". Helion took a look to the Imperial soldiers, which appeared to be looking for something or maybe someone. "Quick, we don't have much time" Helion loaded his blasters "I hope we get out of this one".

 

[Kelictu Moreantu]

Kelictu would look at the armored man who said to both him and the human next to him to follow him, due to the Imperials who walked in the cantina. He'd immediately get up from his seat, and stands next to the man in armor.

​"Lead the way then sir...i wouldn't like to be interrogated by Imperials..."

Kelictu would draw the mans attention to the back door, where the idiotic Imperials didn't have anyone in their ranks cover the door, proving to be the only escape root available at this moment in time. Kelictu would look for his holotransmitter, only to see that a man in solid black has taken it. In a fit of rage, he claws at the man's back, the man in black dropping the holotransmitter.Kelictu looks at where it fell and puts it in his pocket, it securely tucked away this time, as he makes his way to the back door, still waiting on the other two.

 

[Helion Idbraska]

Helion looked around, looking for another possible exit, as he found none, he realized the door in which the Imperials were was the only one. "Well, there is only one exit, load up your guns, we are not making this the sneaky way". He then unsheathed his dual blaster pistols and kept them at his sides. The Imperials were already near them while they were still looking for the crowd, it was too late for them to do this silently. Helion aimed his gun at one of the Imperials and take a clear shot in the head. "Now, let the party start!" Helion said in a moody way, then smiled gently.

 

[Kelictu Moreantu]

"um...one of the three of us is unarmed...and I am not jumping at armed troops...i'll most likely be dead by the time i reach their feet"

Kelictu would watch as the troops approached all of us closer and closer, Kelictu waiting for either them or one of the other two men to make a move.

(I dont think Xeno is logging oftenly, should we ignore him?)

(your call, since he started the topic in the first place XD)

"What party?!" Sedda croaked. This could not be happening; one moment he had been contemplating his depravity and bad luck. The next moment, Sedda was on the verge of entering a potentially fatal firefight against five trained Imperial troopers.

BANG! The man in black armor fired first, dropping the foremost Imperial trooper who fell backwards---dead, with smoke rising from a blaster hole in his helmet. That was when complete chaos broke out; the cantina patrons shrieked and hollered, scattering and leaping for cover, turning over tables, stools, and chairs. Meanwhile, the four remaining troopers began advancing on the man in black armor, Sedda, and the barabel.

"Down!" said the man in black armor, grabbing both Sedda and the Barabel's shoulder. He pulled them into a crouching position so that only the bar stood between themselves and the troopers.

"I don't know either of you," Sedda said. "I've got nothing to do with this!"

"Let's make it formal then," said the man in black armor, somewhat sarcastically. "I'm Helion." Then he turned to the barabel. "And this is...?"

"Kelictu," said the Barabel, smiling genuinely.

"Er--I'm Al Sedda," Sedda replied, not quite sure what else to say.

"Now that we're all acquainted," said Helion, "let's try to stay alive."

"One of the three of us is unarmed...and I am not jumping at armed troops...I'll most likely be dead by the time I reach their feet," said Kelictu.

Although Sedda and Kelictu could not see it, Helion raised an eyebrow. "You're a barabel," Helion said. "Use your teeth, claws, and tail."

Helion turned back to the firefight at hand, popping up behind the bar to unload half a dozen shots towards the Imperial troopers. Sedda unholstered his own blaster pistol, joining Helion in returning fire at the troopers who were advancing towards the bar, at the same time unloading a barrage of deadly blaster fire.

Helion downed two more troopers who toppled over one another, dead. Sedda fired and managed to catch the fourth trooper in his leg and chest. The last trooper was neutralized by Kelictu, who leapt over the bar and charged the trooper, snatching him up with powerful barabel arms and ramming the Imperial into the far cantina wall.

"Wait!" Helion shouted. "Don't kill him, Kelictu. I have a few questions I think we should ask..."

(I work a lot, but I'll try to post every day after you guys have posted. No need to ignore. Just keep it going and I'll join in when I can

 

[renegade solstice]

sorry pls delete this...

 

[Kelictu Moreantu]

Kelictu would hesitate killing the last Imperial standing, looking at Al in confusion

"Why shouldn't I? these guys tried to kill us...plus, i haven't had any human in a while, and this guy might taste delicious"

He'd start to get a big grin on his face, the stormtrooper starting to plead for his life, then offering some information to the three of us

 

[xenoarchaeologist]

(Hey guys, Kelictu keeps misunderstanding the stuff Helion and I write, and Helion doesn't log on frequently enough. So how about my character betrays both of you in the cantina because he's secretly an Imperial agent, so you're both dead and this thread is over? Ok

 

[Kelictu Moreantu]

(how did I misunderstand what you said the last time. true, i did misread Helion's post, but idk how i misunderstood yours. don't want to be rude, i'm just confused is all.)

 

[Helion Idbraska]

(Or we could maybe continue this post cuz I am back)
