A Wound in the Force
New Member
Heya erryone!
I'm a long-time sith fanatic, hardcore TIE Fighter, and old hat RP writer, finally deciding to push that childhood star wars RP into some free time here and there. I thought I should run a few things by whomever it concerns ere I make my first char, as I'd like him to fit in nicely.
I'll spare you the copypasta long-version bio I normally use 'til I post the char proper, but I'll lob a few bits here that might need changing. Firstly, assuming we're setting this as "New Order Era" (I haven't worked out the timing of this RP properly yet), my character would probably have ESG armour w/ purple instead of red trim, two force pikes, a heavy blaster, and a TIE/IN RG. I'm not sure whether that would be too much for an initial character or not, so I thought I should check.
Secondly, I'd be planning to make a force sensitive char, but I know you've got to start at padawan. Considering my backstory (coming up), I was wondering if he could have a low-level force drain at all? Mebbe just drain essence or something, and perhaps empathy/foresight to some slight degree? I'm thinking maybe five seconds in the future, as opposed to five minutes, haha!
Thirdly, I'll re-jig my story so he hasn't mastered lightsaber forms yet, but is Eriadu OK to know? Also, can you have slight fundamentals without knowing a style? My char would be aiming at learning Makashi, Juyo, Jar'Kai, and Tràkata, so I was thinking a rudimentary knowledge gleaned from training would not presupose "knowing" the style. By this I mean, Makashi would equate to being a more "turtle" esque fighter as opposed to any specific moves, Tràkata would mean the basic iaido "draw, cut sheathe" maneuver was being worked on in his spare time....fundamentals, y'know? Again, if this is a touch too close to the mark, I can leave it out.
Anyways, beyond that, I know you can't RP main chars (which is good), but I'm not sure how close your char can be, or how/whether EU filters in. Ergo, I'll post a short version of my basic bio arc for your consideration, and I can fix it ere the write-up if there's any problems.
tl;dr Bio:
Fujari Pirate, captured and trained as a stormtrooper.
11 conf kills in first week, got shipped to Yinchorr for Royal Guard training.
Lost right eye @ The Squall, exhibited force abilities, tagged for Shadow Guard.
Preached at and drank w/ associates then they visited the academies.
They shoehorned him into the Secret Order of the Empire.
Gets news of Endor after his initiation ritual, goes off w/ Kir Kanos for a while.
Acts as Kir's fifth wingman, oblivious to the fact that means he was expendable.
Leaves Kir when Tav does, leaving a message that is never read, joins The New Order.
(in headcannon,His CV puts him straight up to Knight of Ren, but I'd just plan to aim for it over a long period in this RP)
Gets Nihilus' right glove from Snoke as gift for keeping the faith....
...at least, that's what it said in the letter from Hux that was a week late....
Obsessed w/ the idea of traitor Guardsmen still lurking somewhere.
Searches for them and his old associates, the former to kill, and the latter to make life-or-death offers.
(SPOILER: They won't remember him. Any of them.)
So yeah, that's the basic idea, and there's a fair amount of wiggle room. Obviously I'd need to seek out The New Order in-game here, so I thought I'd put him at the "looking for New Order" stage. Obviously his "Nihilus' glove" is a fake, but he doesn't think it is. I love having a schadenfreude element to a character. And if the whole Kir side is too much, I can literally cut all that out and just keep him as an ESG guy that went straight to TNO afterwards. It just would cut a bit of flavour from the char, no biggie.
Anyways, looking forward to getting involved. It'll be nice to go back to board rp after the hectic pace of IRC rp. More time to ponder and play with ideas. I'll keep an eye on this thread o'er the weekend, then collate info and post my char next week, methinks.
