Questions

[Elsa Delliria]

Yeah, knew I could not go five minutes without having questions to ask lol. So, for one, I'm considering to make the character Elsa like a crime lord or something like that. Do I need to have any sort of past experince for the character or something before she reaches that mark? I saw the whole ranks and promotions thing and know it effects force users, but I wasn't sure given I'm trying to make her a powerful crime lord. If not I can just change it to simple theif. Second, I see this Mask of Maddness thing and wanted to know if that was still going on, since I'm guessing it's an event or whatever. Third, I see the items part of the whole making a profile and wanted to know if there's a limit to what Elsa can have. None of it's original, just like normal star wars stuff you'd see. Finally, is there some kind of limit to what the character can do in terms of normal abilites? By that I mean if I made her a master of combat or weaponry of anything like that? Just so I avoid godmodding which tends to vary on the rp sites lol. Thanks to any and all who help.

Welcome to the board.

The answer to most of your questions is the same; be reasonable and do work for it. We have a number of characters here who like to claim to be ultimate weapon masters/Force users/pilots/cooks, etc. However most of those claims are self-serving and aren't recognized by the community as a whole, and instead they validate the hard work and dedication of others.

For example, @[member="Fabula Cavataio"] has built herself a reputation for being an incredibly powerful fighter who can tackle monstrous creatures by herself. She didn't start out claiming this. She started out like any other character. She fought people, and lost. Often. And then she started working on her abilities. She trained and practiced and fought some more. Now, she's held as one of the strongest fighter-type characters on the board by many people. She worked for it and the community recognizes and validates that work.

Ultimately, we're here to tell stories. If you think you can tell an interesting story starting off as a big-shot crime lord, by all means. However, be prepared to do some leg work to show the community that you are in it for the story and not just for the title.

@[member="Ayden Cater"] Okay. Well if that's the case then I think I'll start out as just a thief and work my way up. But still thanks for the clarification.

I believe being a crime lord would be alright for a starter. I haven't been on the site for a while so I wouldn't listen to me. As for equipment and stuff. You can pretty much have normal equipment, but for anything super fancy of made out of rare materials, you would need to do an rp for it if it exists or make it in the factory.

Here is a link of materials you can unlock via rping
and here is a list of items and materials that are banned

Like I said before I would wait for someone with a tad bit more knowledge to come around before you take my words to heart.

EDIT:
Ok nvm then, looks like Ayden beat me to it.

Fabs could probably punch a hole through foot inch thick Beskar if she wanted to.
That girl is strong.

To answer your questions, basically just follow what Ayden suggested (he's had lots of experience around here, is a cool guy, and knows what he's talking about). Also, I'd love to RP with you some time. I have a thief character myself, so I could help you get started.
*high fives*

As Ayden said, you can start out as a crime lord, but you will get more respect and notice after RPing a bit. If you want to start lower, you can, or you can start at the top.
