What types of characters are lacking?

[StonewallJack]

As the lull between having to post for my two characters increases, sometimes I think about making a new character so I have more to do. That made me think - what kinds of characters are rarely found on here? I know we have a lot of Force-users, Jedi, Dark, and Sith, and we have a lot of outlaws and mercs. What do you guys think is a character type/job/whatever that is overlooked? I might want to fill it.

 

[Quietus]

Aliens.

Moar.

Now.

 

[Dr. Alset Niest]

Scientists.

 

[Pravis Sharman]

Older people.

Aliens.

Medics.

 

[Condor]

Scientists.

Hey I have an alt that is a doctor but I accidentally picked up too many women for Condor so I'll never get around to him It's the thought that counts right?


Also more silly characters is good. Like genetically engineered superwampas ewoks!

Spoiler

does that work for you [member="Valiens Nantaris"]?

 

[Willa Isard]

[member="StonewallJack"] vahla not involved with the one sith, Liren and Go Nagai


or tried and try Atrisians/Asians

 

[Andrea Kryze]

Terrelian Jango Jumpers!

Best Star Wars species ever!

And they only appeared twice ever, in the Clone Wars!

And hat second time was a, like, fifteen second cameo!

WE NEED MOAR OF DEM!

I agree with the lack of aliens, scientists and medics. I RPed a medic for awhile, and because they aren't prevalent, I never lacked for threads. With the amount of fighting done on the board, a medic, especially one who specializes in cybernetics is in demand.

Also more mechanics, pilots, salvagers and business types would be nice.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

Blue Twi'leks....

Also, we're lacking unaffiliated underworld types such as pirates, smugglers, infochants and thieves.

 

[Rika]

I also agree on the aliens recommendation. Chaos has an overwhelming emphasis on human characters.

Also a character that isn't force sensitive. The split there isn't particularly even either.

Medics, scientists, researchers, engineers.

Pilots, soldiers.

 

[Armand Temi]

Does a blue Balosar/Chiss fit the bill?

#notasmurf

Agree on the infochants and more agents and spies!

More droids with strange quirks.

None of that "does this unit have a soul" bull, either. Animated, happy, and possibly drunk, droids that lie, cheat and steal like other people.

The closest thing I can think of in canon is probably I-5YQ.

Blue creatures of all types are welcome.

Everyone's saying aliens. To specify, we need more non-humanoid aliens. We've got plenty of aliens that look either identical or extremely similar to (attractive and usually caucasian) humans, but very few truly bizarre ones. I'd like to see more legitimately inhuman characters.

Don't let Val fool you. We have a boatload of Twi'leks, most of them either blue or red (the two allegedly rarest colors).

For vocations, I'd say boring jobs tend to be underutilized because...well, they're boring. I'm sure there's someone out there who wants to read about an intergalactically-acclaimed chef or a barkeep on a small world, but in general they're rare because people don't find writing them to be interesting enough to keep going. We crave action, whether that be political or military or technobabble or whatever. Someone who can cut a fruit into seven perfect pieces before it hits the plate is amusing, they'd have trouble finding a partner.

 

[Darth Assimilus]

Need more cool Aliens like Ghrom

and more twi'leks for [member="Valiens Nantaris"]

 

[Poro]

*Squeak!*

(Roughly translates to: "Am I special and unique? Give me a snack if you think so. I am a hungry ropo!")

You are the most adorable abomination ever, and I want to hug you.

You look tasty....

 

[Evania Charr]

No eating my ropo!!!

Also, the board needs more children.

 

[Darth Ferus]

Droids.
