Mercs for a 'Past RP'

Once upon a time, the Galactic Republic's Prime Minister was a no-name mercenary.

Oddly enough, this is actually true. My plans for Geneviève were originally much less grandiose--a story about a bratty punk with an E-11 and an attitude. I never imagined she'd become a political icon until things just... fell into place. That's the best kind of story, you know? The ones you don't entirely control. It's the beauty of RP, and the reason I write here and neglect my own personal stories. :p

Still, things were very difficult at the beginning when launching this character. I had intentions of getting a little specialized Force training. But three masters later, I knew that was not to be. (I almost wish I hadn't made her Force-sensitive to start with. Although she has one of the most fun Force abilities there is, if you ask me. :p So no regrets.)

The mercenary part didn't last as long as I wish it had, but I won't complain about what has happened since. It's been a magical story for me, and Gen quickly supplanted another character of mine to become my obvious favorite. Which is why I think it would be nice to get a little more history fleshed out for her.

I'd like to run a three-part series of threads of missions Gen and her merc 'friends' carried out during her days as a mercenary fighter. I'd like to work with some mercs (friend and foe) and make the threads a bit of an open-style RP, with a few exceptions defined by scant guidelines. Bring your guns, or just be an innocent bystander. Either is fine.

The events portrayed will have taken place roughly 9-10 IC years ago, so you may need that for context to figure out if your character belongs. Obviously Gen will not die, but a few broken bones and some cool scars may or may not be encouraged. :)
 
*rises out of RP grave*
I think Ven here is my only character that's old enough and did mercenary work around that point of her life.
Count me in, if you'd have me.
 
I'd be interested. Unfortunately, Tyger Tyger would've just been a TIE Fighter Pilot for the Sith Empire at the time.

If you need some more "official" combatants to build a war zone scene, I'd love to pitch in.

"Kark you, I won't do what you tell me."
Sure, I'd be down. When Lurcano first moved to Nar Shaddaa, he joined several mercenary companies which eventually led to the corruption of his character. And anyway, I think it'd be ironic that one of his old mercenary friends/enemies ended up "killing" the founder of the organization that he would eventually come to join and reach a position of power in.

A rather quick torrent of responses in comparison to what I was expecting! Good to see so many mercs/ex-mercs around! If we can devise a mission and get a grasp on who will be friend and foe, I think we'll be good to start! Suggestions are welcome.

One mission that was referenced in a thread but never actually RP'd was a Tusken hunt on Tatooine. Maybe two squads are competing to collect the most Tusken kills (and therefore the most bounty money) and someone accidentally (or 'accidentally') shoots another team's member (NPC).

Or there is always some classic aggressive 'enforcement' type of engagement. Close-quarters/street fighting is what I'm definitely interested in. The Omega Pyre could be a key organization for that situation.

Again, I'm looking for suggestions. Just throwing ideas out there myself. :D

[member="Geneviève Lasedri"] The Tatoonie idea seems the best. I think we should go with that. Unless you like my idea better of course.

What if one mercenary group was hired out to take out another mercenary group? Eliminate the competition, one could call it. We could base it in a really urban city environment, which could allow for some pretty cool situations.

I like this, urban warfare with mercs and npcs.

Here's what I think I'll do.

Part 1 will involve the the Tatooine bounty conflict, as I had outlined above.

Part 2 will involve some sort of backlash that pits one hired squad against the Omega Pyre on Fondor. Urban warfare here.

Part 3 will be mercs taking out gang mercs. More urban warfare here!
This part will also conclude with Gen getting captured by an enemy mercenary squad or getting betrayed by her 'friends'.


Let me know which part(s) apply best to your characters, and we'll easily be able to get this thing underway.
 
Part three would best fit for me I think.

Though, really I could fit into any as I am a Sniper.

[member="Geneviève Lasedri"], If you want me to fill any more spots I can.
