Looking for a couple of mercs/adventurers

[GreenEve]

Hey guys! I'm pretty new to the site, but not new to roleplay, I'd love to get a thread going with a couple of people to start, and then maybe have a few more jump in.

I had a general idea for the thread, though we'd need to discuss all the details as I'm still a bit clueless for planet names and things like that. Basically, my character belonged to a band of thieves that met their death during a heist gone wrong. She got lucky and left alive, and a year later her adoptive father's stockpile of stolen goods has grown thin and shes in need of job. She gets in contact with her old crime lord acquaintance, and he offers her a job to find a crew that's gone missing on a planet. He sent them there to maybe find something of high value, maybe somewhere ancient and untouched, and they either get eaten by some angry beasts on their search lol, or another party of merc's searching the area get to them (that's where some more characters could jump in or something). So we would travel there, and search for this crew, and go after the loot as well perhaps!

Looking to chuck some character development in there too. I'm pretty open minded so if you've got some suggestions for the general plot then I'm down for those, or if you want to just hop in and make it as we go, I'm down for that as well. Maybe there's some forum noobies like me who want somewhere to start?

Let me know

Would 'The Outer Rim's Best Mercenary' be of use?

Gray here is a merc and since the job doesn't really sound illegal in and of itself (despite who the client is), he would be willing to help you out on a job like this.

As far as some plot advise goes, what kind of artifacts are we talking about? Force related ones? Old super weapon from the Old Republic days or before? Ancient civilization that hardly anything is known about? If you figure out what you are looking for, it might help a bit with location. As far as advise goes for a good location, I'm not as sure on that. I'm not the most familiar with the SW map or the one on chaos either.

I feel like keeping the enemy NPC would be better than going for other players, at least until you become familiar with people on the site. Everyone has been really nice from what I can tell, but its always best to get your feet a little wet before you dive into the deep end. Also, you could always save the idea away for a bit and then pull it out once you get to know a few people.

That is just my general advise, but you are more than welcome to ignore me and do what you want. No matter what, I am still always up for helping you out and participating in the threads.

I am always up for an adventure

 

[GreenEve]

Thanks for the reply Gray Watcher!

Yeah I'm not sure about the artifacts, maybe something simple like long lost jewels? I'd say the mission is to find out what happened to the crew and a bonus for the loot. I mentioned ancient because the area wouldn't have been looted too much yet. Any other ideas welcome

Yeah I don't want to fight anyone's characters yet haha!

Maybe the other team of mercs that take out the lost crew could be NPC's, or instead of mercs they could be bandits. And the other player characters jumping in could be a couple of survivors of the lost crew and we team up and kick beastly creatures and NPC butts together?

Where can I get my feet wet haha . I've been lurking waiting to jump into a thread but I figured I could just make my own, I haven't joined a faction yet as wanted to develop the character a bit before she got involved with anything serious (highly likely she's going to be discovered by the Sith eeek), and go on a few adventures etc

I think you would be of great help KeCholo Any ideas O wise Mercenary?

 

[Cadie Reese]

Sounds fun and right up this characters alley, she could use some adventure to flesh her out. So if there's still room count me in

[almightysmiley]

If you still have room / are in need of a ship / don't mind the smell, I've been looking for something to get this character started. This sounds like just the thing.

 

[GreenEve]

Okay great, lots of people on board anyone got any ideas about a planet where the crew went missing? Or the loot we discover?

 

[KeCholo]

[member="CazoaMani"]

I can provide the ship, as for the planet there are a few. Kashyyyk for wookie stuff, Korriban (kewl force relics there), Bespin would be cool for a firefight, we could go to Utapau to retrieve Clone Wars gear, and Tatooinne would be cool for an ambush thingy.

 

[almightysmiley]

The recommendations above are pretty solid. Since we're all less-than-legal types, Nar Shaddaa might be a pretty solid place to start up. As far as set pieces go, I'd recommend some of the lesser-known planets or routes, if only because someone would have found Treasure TBD by now on a high-traffic world.

 

[GreenEve]

Okay so we could all be sent to Nar Shaddaa to meet up and have a mission debrief? Stick with the old meet in a bae yeah? Shall we use Cazoa's old contact Pali the crimelord as the guy who's put us all in contact or? As for treasure, we could have Pali say he cares more for his crew and whatever loot we find on the planet we can split it?

What kind of loot would you guys prefer, jewels or weapons etc? I'm pretty clueless with the planets and the way loot works here so I'm cool with you guys being in charge of that!

 

[GreenEve]

Got a first post written ready to go! Just need to add the planet we're looting and the loot we're after

 

[almightysmiley]

Where at? Not used to the way these boards are set up. :S

 

[GreenEve]

I didn't post it yet, need to figure out what planet we're going to and what we are looting. Is there any info on here about Nar Shaddaa?

Do you think Korribban would be stripped of loot by now? It'd be a good planet for Cazoa to go to as eventually she's going to go to the dark side. What kind of force relics are there to find? Do we just make it up?

If not, Utapau would be interesting, but again, no idea what loot.

Having a tough time here deciding those last two details lol

 

[KeCholo]

[member="CazoaMani"]

Korriban would probably be looted, Utapau would be best since it was one of the last worlds to be fought on in the Clone Wars. Might even be able to find General Grievous' lightsabers, his cape, his body frame, some of his magna-guards, Obi-Wan Kenobi's ship, several pieces of clone armor, battledroids of all varieties, all sorts of stuff.

Utapau sounds good! Has nobody gone after General Grievous' loot then?

I also found this -

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jaguada%27s_moon

It's in Sith space, and it's got some ancient temples. Type I atmosphere so we can breathe lol, just need to figure out what kind of loot would be there. Enemies - droids and the regular creatures found on the planet Jaguada. It's pretty untouched by the sounds of the description. Maybe the loot could be a rare droid worth a lot of money from the old days? Or temple loot like jewels and Sith artifacts etc

 

[Bulthos Dorrir]

If it's a Sith temple, Sith artifacts are the way to go. There'd be a bunch of them, there's always a market for them, plenty of dangerous nasties to overcome, and it has the added bonus of kicking off a start of darkness for your character. It's as good a place as any.

Battle of Utapau happened 800 years ago, not to mention we could RP as the native Utuapauins retrieved the loot and archived it. We would then need to break in and steal it. Since this is on an alternate timeline, past history is up to the RPers. That other moon sounds good as well, your call.
