Approved NPC The Ori'ramikad Ravens of Mandalore

[Vedzah]

Name: Ori'ramikad Ravens of Mandalore

Intent: Work for and assist Salem

Affiliation: Loyal to Mandalore, but more so to Salem

Availability: Unique

Quality: A - Elite

Type:[SIZE=11pt] Special Operations (SOP), Joint-Special Operations (J-SOP), Quick Reaction Force (QRF), Search and Destroy Unit, Amphibious Assault, Airborne, Manhunters[/SIZE]

Strength: 4 men

Description: [SIZE=11pt]This small and elite group of soldiers is comprised of some of the finest men Mandalore has to offer: Baldur, Sven, Vex, and Tarls, all hand-picked by Salem for their talents and proficiencies in many different fields of practice. All men are very capable at ranged combat. [/SIZE]

Baldur is a long-time friend of Salem’s, specializing in demolitions, he has an unhealthy excitement while using explosives or combustibles. Baldur also has always sought to be better than Salem, particularly in hand-to-hand combat, making him good at range but a nightmare in close quarters. Baldur's unusual enamored mindset towards these devices has led him to use explosives frequently, even excessively. He has been known to destroy whole buildings and other structures that were more important when left undamaged.

Sven is primarily a hunter, both of beasts and men. As such, he is the perfect trapper and tracker, and one of the best shots Salem has ever seen. Unfortunately, he lacks extensive hand-to-hand training; Sven can hold his own against the average man, but soldiers with Baldur’s expertise can easily overcome Sven in hand-to-hand combat. Sven is not the best at close quarters combat. He should let one of his other squad mates get up close and personal with the enemy.

Vex is a jack of all trades, but suffers at long ranges. He’s an all-round competent soldier, but if a sniper winds up in his hands, he might as well give up. Although, Vex is a very rational and realistic thinker, and usually has to assist Salem when he becomes lost in his thoughts of vengeance upon the Chief. Vex is also a specialist with long-range comms devices. Ironically, he cannot shoot at long-range. It is best to kept him within 500 meters of the enemy for maximum effectiveness.

[SIZE=11pt]Tarls, the youngest and most inexperienced of the group, has seen little to no combat, and is often nervous before going into battle. Tarls is also very well versed in armor-craft, which occasionally helps Baldur in close quarters. Tarls is well-trained though, taught by Salem himself. Do not underestimate his abilities. Tarls's inexperience allows for more experienced soldiers to outsmart and outmaneuver him. It's best to have Salem or one of the other squad mates cover his flanks. Also, due to his inexperience, Tarls has not performed many sub-orbital drops. The thought of performing one makes him feel uneasy.[/SIZE]

Feedback would be highly appreciated!

I appreciate your initiative to receive feedback on your Codex submissions! However; this can be done here instead, as it's against the rules for someone--other than the submitter and the judges--to post in a submission. I'd also ask that you please remove it from the submission, too.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'd first like to say welcome to the Codex--I'm very happy to see more people taking an interest. If you have any questions regarding anything, each Codex sub-forum has a thread called <sub-forum> Questions. For example, there's an NPC Questions thread. But if you have any questions specifically pertaining to this submission, you may ask me in here directly.

I'd like you to add another two-to-three sentences to each person in the description. Specifically, I'd like you to describe in further detail their strengths and weaknesses. You've told me what they're good at, but what are thy bad at? What can trump them? Lastly, I need you to add a list of all and any equipment (Weapons, armour, vehicles, etc.) they might use. This can be taken from the Wookiepedia or any open-market factory item. I suggest checking the marketplace for more details. Alternatively, assuming you're a member of the Mandalorians, I'd ask in their faction forums if there's any tech available for you to utilize with these NPC.

Done

 

[Vedzah]

Or not... I didn't save.

 

[Boethiah]

[member="Vedzah"]

Pardon?

 

[Vedzah]

Alright, now it's done

Please include links to all the equipment.

Also Beskar is a restricted material, so unless the armour is a factory approved submission (and available to you) you'll need to find an alternative armour or sub it yourself.

Beskar (( Objective: Perform a mining operation, a raid, an excavation, or steal to obtain Mandalorian Iron Ore from any of the following planets: Mandalore, Concordia, Echo'lya –OR— inflict a devastating defeat on a Mandalorian character and have them verify it. Characters belonging to the Major Faction whose influence covers Mandalore and/or Concordia are exempt from fulfilling this objective.
All tech submissions involving Mandalorians using Beskar will require a forging or construction thread of at least 10 posts where the item is made. Limited or minor production items will require longer dev threads of 20 and 30 posts respectively, or at the discretion of the Factory Judge. ))

 

[Vedzah]

Done. Anythng else?

 

[Boethiah]

[member="Vedzah"]

Your links are broken, since it's considering the parenthesis as part of the link. Fix those please.

 

[Vedzah]

[member="Anja Aj'Rou"]

Alrighty. Links should be fixed now.

 

[Boethiah]

[member="Vedzah"]

Have you roleplayed with these NPC at all yet?

 

[Vedzah]

[member="Anja Aj'Rou"]

I have not. Why do you ask?

 

[Boethiah]

[member="Vedzah"]

In most cases we judges ask for development threads for anything that's deemed exceptionally powerful. Elite units would be considered exceptionally powerful. However; seeing as you're new to the board and haven't begun any roleplay, I don't see how it's fair of me to have your first interaction be a dev thread.

So this is my suggestion. I'll approve this submission, if you promise me one thing; you won't use these NPC against player characters until you've completed a thread with at least 10 posts in which these NPC are used. When you do that I want you submit a modification request so that your development thread can be added to the submission. When it is added, my above provision is null.

I'd also ask you to not abuse these NPC, as they are powerful. If anyone were to report your usage of these NPC then this submission will be revisited. I can't promise that my boss will accept this provision, though.

Good luck, and enjoy your time here on Chaos

Approved, pending secondary.
