El Capitán
This character was fairly established at one time at TGC as a Rebel pilot and freelancer. He was much less established as a young bounty hunter at SWFans. That was a long, long time ago, in galaxies far, far away. Now here we are at Chaos.
For those too lazy to read my character bio, cliff notes are that Pal was trained by bounty hunters and joined the Rebellion at a fairly young age. Not one for authority, he left and returned to freelancing when the Rebellion became the Galactic Alliance. The background is intentionally short and vague because a) that stuff bores me, and b) I’m not super solid on the Chaos timeline yet. Just enough to establish his bona fides from 24 years of existence and on-and-off RPing so people aren’t left wondering how he’s great with a blaster and in the cockpit.

Goals:
- Reunite with any characters that knew this character at TGC (as Pal Vader) — if you’ll have me. That is always the easiest way to get back into the game.
- Develop friendships and working relationships with Jedi and GA.
- I would like to pair this character up with a Jedi or (or team) for missions to hunt down criminals, Sith, or Imperials. To the extent we don’t have a prior relationship, we can either pretend we are either already acquainted or can use an NPC to connect us. Pal has relationships with old Jedi characters that we could NPC for a one-liner, like so-and-so mentioned you’d be a good fit for this job. Could even use my old Jedi Master Hwo for that since he and Pal knew each other in-universe. Tagging

here, hope she doesn’t mind. While Pal is of course the main character to me, I find it fun to fill sort of the sidekick role on these types of missions. The OT was a Luke Skywalker story, but Han was always my favorite character. - Pal would be highly unlikely to join the GA, but he’s a good guy at heart and would be more than willing to work with the GA. Most people write their freelance/smuggler characters as always in some sort of debt and in need of a quick score. I like to think after nearly 25 years, Pal isn’t a broke schmuck, and his years at the Rebellion are proof he’s not just in it for the money. Small team infiltrations, heists, etc., with GA agents would be fun. Can also fly Pal’s own X-Wing if a squadron gets in a jam. I intend for this character to ally with GA in the GA vs DE battle.

- Develop relationships with other neutral parties.
- Other freelancers, smugglers, bounty hunters, neutral folks. It makes sense for us to know each other. Work together, work against each other, talk crap about each other to other characters. Outlaw stuff. I’m already working on this a bit in a couple of open firefight threads, which have been a lot of fun so far.
- Develop antagonistic relationships with Imperials and bad guys.
- Cat-and-mouse deals. Not interested in being caught yet, but a few run-ins with some give-and-take would be fun. Something that puts Pal on the Imperial radar.
- Get a ship.
- I’ve had Pal forever, but I decided to approach this with just an X-Wing leftover from the Rebellion days. He’ll need a decent light freighter at some point, and I wanted to develop that in story rather than just bring one over. This is lower priority, and I’d like to position him as a potential pilot/co-pilot on teams that have the ship part already taken care of.
Things I’m not looking for:
- A permanent crew or faction, at least not for now.
- Romantic relationships. I’ve never really been into that, especially given that I’m now IRL married with a kid. Plus my coming and going IRL would not be conducive to that.
- Training. This sounds incredibly selfish, I know. I’ve trained a lot of Jedi Padawans, Sith Apprentices, bounty hunters, Rebel pilots and troopers, and Imperial agents over the years. Individual threads, group threads, everything under the sun. With my limited time, I am looking to avoid that for now. And like a romantic relationship, I don’t want to leave anyone hanging if I disappear for long periods of time due to IRL limitations. It’s one thing to have to cut a RP short; it’s another to abandon a trainee mid-training. I’ve done that before and felt bad about it.
