Mercenary Crew: Age of the Rebellion: Discussion and Recruitment thread

[starmark2k]

I don't mind people being aliens from other franchises (Otherwise i would have 'shot' rex down for the Halo) but you have to do a better job at integrating the species into the Star Wars universe otherwise the character won't work. Firstly you need more Star Wars esque weapons, Also you have to make sure you balance the characters strengths to his weaknesses so he isn't the virtually indestructable alien seen in the films. I haven't seen you add it but i'll bring it up anyway... you cant have a personal cloaking device.

 

Sort these points out and you can join.

[Master_Archon]

Well, I don't see what my character would need with Star Wars weapons, second, melee weapons of those types ARE in the SW universe. Glaive exactly like a double bladed sword, only serated. Combi Stick is just like a quarter staff, just with more appendages. But I'll intigrate some SW weapons if you say so.

 

As for weaknesses, I'll add a personality section to my character sheet so as to include his weaknesses, because I can't really put them anywhere else...can I?

[starmark2k]

OK Guys so you know my laptop fell on the floor and has stopped working so i'll probably be AWOL until i get it repaired or get a new one (so i could be off for a while). So i'm leaving the wonderful Jasra in charge until i return (as she is the ship captain). Alos i'd appreciate it if Wild, Jasra or Steven could post this in the AOTE thread so sting and Ex know whats going on.

 

I'm using my work computer at the moment and am breaking several rules doing this, so i proberly shouldn't do it again.

[Master_Archon]

Well, just so you guys know, I edited my character sheet with a personality (meaning his weaknesses) part, and added some Star Wars weapons like what starmark wanted. So I've done everything I've been told to do, can I be considered joined, and post in the RP thread!? Please!!!

[JasraLantill]

Ok, since you've edited your character per Starmark's request, and Starmark is temporarily out of commission and graciously nominated me as 'alternate' threadmaster, I say...

 

YES! YOU CAN JOIN!

 

Since Ulim is still wandering around Nar Shaddaa, I suggest you go ahead and bump into him. He can bring you back to the ship to meet Raze and the rest o the crew (when they all get back).

[The Doctor]

Or you can meet up with Bif and Travis.

[Master_Archon]

YA!!! I love you Jasra....um, that was a moment of weakness...don't take it literally...*looks around nervously* "Yeah, I'm gonna go do the RP thing now."

 

But seriously, THANK YOU!!!!

 

Edit: - @The Doctor; But my character has no clue who you guys are? At least I think?

[starmark2k]

K guys i've managed to get access to a net capable computer for around an hour a day... but my laptop may be fixed by tomorro any way so i paniced for no reason at all.

[Writer]

You're back? *hides written up planned scene with Nic in AOTE*

 

You need to go looking for Jana now. You'll probably find her in the common room. [/Mind Trick]

 

 

 

EDIT: I just realized this is the D&R thread for AOTR... *checks hair color*

 

 

Yep. It's blond.

[JasraLantill]

To those that haven't heard the news, Wildjedi has quit the thread (and apparently the whole of LF as well.) He said his goodbye in the Yoda's Swamp forum (link)

 

Starmark, I'm quite happy taking over Rita for the moment, sort of making her an NPC for the time being as we did with his other character in the other MC thread. But as you're the threadmaster, it's entirely up to you.

[Dark_Lady]

Wait, if wildjedi's going, *cries again* can I make a char to replace his? I'm pretty sure I can work up a decent relationship with one of the chars (preferably Raze) and you guys are still on Nar Shaddaa, right? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just loved the other Mercenary Crew RPs (even the two that didn't last) and was really sad I was too late to get on this one. But if you guys would let me in I'd be so happy.

 

I really like when the RPs are planned out as much as this one is, and all the people in it are active, so I know this is one that will actually last, unlike many of the RPs on LucasForums. I promise not to be boring either. And, I finally found a time I can get on the internet from my parent's house, so I should be able to get on. When I'm back at college in a month I'll be able to get on even more.

 

Please?

It's not totally up to me (as Starmark's the thread master) but if you post a character sheet, we might be able to work you in to replace WJ's Rita. Or you could actually take over Rita, if she suits you.

 

And yes the crew is still on Nar Shaddaa, but we were planning on leaving soon (at least, I think that was the plan... :s) but I suppose you could always meet us in transit. (Perhaps we encounter you as the only survivor of a partially destroyed and derelict ship?)

 

At any rate, post a character sheet if you want to introduce an original character. That way, Starmark can make a decision on how to work your character in if he decides you can join.

It would be useful if you could just take Rita but if not can we have it as if your character was on the ship all the time just asleep or somthing and we'll kill off Rita later. But we still need a differant crew position for you so if you think of somthing let us know.

[Master_Archon]

Well, D_L can always take over Rita's position (gunner position) when she dies. I say that something happens that causes Otak to kill her!!!! Muahahahah!!!!! Okay, maybe not, though it's a possible idea, I'd think that it'd put me at odds with the crew, and it'd be a bit too disrespectful towards wildjedi's character, so I'd have to say don't do my idea, but it's up to you.

[steven]

To be honest we don't really have to kill her off. We could still use her as a NPC which could be usefull. If he don't want her to be the gunner, we could just simiply have her in a small accident which makes her loose sight in one eye or something.

[starmark2k]

OK i have an idea how we can kill off rita but also keep her in the story... i'm stealing ideas from Farscape and the New battlestar galacta. Basically what if by the aid of the Chimera crystal Ritas Spirit ended up inside of Zam's head like john/scorpius or Gaius/Six from the forementioned tv shows.

[steven]

That could work. Also, it would funny to walk into Zam having an arguement with Raze.

[JasraLantill]

Works for me. Plus, it'll give Zam someone to talk to when he's all by himself in the cockpit. (And Raze will obviously think that he's going nuts, which will make things more interesting anyway. )

[Dark_Lady]

Position: Cook/Janitor (Gunner? It depends on what you decide for Rita.)

Name: Kanitha Venn

Nickname: Flick

Species: Human / Xenomorph (Alright, no one I've talked to knew what this was so far, so for the sake of convenience, xenomorphs are the aliens from Alien. Except this is Star Wars, so I'm warping the species to suit my needs. )

Sex: Female

Age: 21

Alignment: Neutral / Dark (She has a split personality.)

Appearance: 5' 11" tall. Her body looks pretty much like a normal human female's, except for the fact that she has shiny black skin with a greenish tinge, and clawed hands. Her hair is the same color as her skin, and the strands are slightly thisker than normal human hair. It reaches just a little past her shoulders. She has a long prehensile tail with a sharp, dagger-like point at the end. She has bright white teeth that resemble icicles, and her canine teeth are much longer than normal. Her eyes are green and yellow.

Weapons/Equipment: Tail, anything she can lay her hands on. She's no slouch with a blaster, but she doesn't own one.

 

Well, okay, since this is another species, I might as well lay out the strengths and weaknesses like M_A did.

Strengths: She is incredibly acrobatic and can be extraordinarily quiet when she wants to, so she's very good at sneaking around. She is somewhat lighter than she looks, and can climb up walls, across ceilings, etc., like a gecko (or a fly, or whatever other animal you can think of ). She can find her way in absolute darkness with no trouble at all. She doesn't show up on the infrared spectrum.

Weaknesses: She is terribly afraid of fire, with no logical reason whatsoever. She's allergic to bacta and most anesthetics have no effect on her. Her dual personality causes her to act in an erratic manner sometimes.

 

Personality: Flick is usually very quiet, but on occasion, she does remark on something or crack a joke. Her voice is soft and drawling with an accent. She has a dry sense of humor. She likes messing around with mechanical equipment when she's bored. She doesn't usually hang around with anyone, she likes to keep to herself. She likes that dark, and she doesn't like cold places. She has two personalities, the first is basically what I just wrote, the second she reverts to when she's under stress, or sometimes for no obvious reason whatsoever. Her second personality is pretty much the same, but dark, ruthless, and cold, all instinct and no heart.

 

Bio: Flick grew up on the streets of Nar Shaddaa. She never knew her father, and her mother died of an unknown disease when she was five years old, so she had to make a living as best she could. She'll brush off almost any questions about her past.

 

She disappeared for a few years, rumored to be working in the Outer Rim somewhere, and when she returned, she was no longer human.

 

(Okay, she's never going to tell anyone what happened, but here it is anyway. She took what was supposed to be a short job on a backwater planet in the Outer Rim, smuggling for a group of colonist who were sick of the authorities getting their hands into everything. Just before she arrived, a group of explorers had discovered a crashed ship of unknown origin. What they found is still unknown, since none of them survived, but shortly afterwards the colony was overrun with parasitic organisms, which were eventually contained and destroyed, along with the ship and whatever was on it.

 

Flick was one of the earlier people to be infected, and surprisingly, the only one to survive. Since the alien inside her was a Queen, it had a much longer incubation period than the others, and this gave them time to perform the required surgery and destroy the creature.

 

Okay, a few minor notes on my version of the xenomorph. When the alien develops inside a host organism, it picks up its DNA. This gives the xenomorph a better chance of surviving, because it adapts to the environment that it's host was living in. However, this causes a chain reaction in the host's body, and it picks up DNA from the xenomorph as well.

 

After Flick was released from the hospital, she left and would have continued jobhopping around the galaxy, but her body was slowly changing from the inside, so she stayed at another relatively unknown planet, keeping to herself, until the transformation was complete.)

 

Flick is a jack-of-all-trades, and a master of none. (Cliched, I know.) Given her life so far, her talents naturally lean towards the stealing/smuggling/running end of the spectrum. She's a surprisingly good cook, though. "Hey, how do you think ah survived all those years?" she'll say if you ask her.

 

Recruitment: While searching around for yet another job, Flick met Raze and offered her services. She serves as the cook and used to man one of the turrets until Ulim showed up. And, well, he was better. She doesn't have any hard feelings, and she'll always be ready pick up where she left off if another spot opens up.

 

Reisa ‘Raze’ Tarn: "Well, she's the captain. Ah get along with her as well as anyone, I guess. 'N she's one of the few people who would hire me, given the way ah am. Yeah, she's good."

 

Toolan ‘Zam’ Zamose: "He flies. That's about it. We don't talk much."

 

John 'Space Monkey' Matthews: "Nice guy. Very good at what he does."

 

Rita 'SureShot' Kaiver: "Hmmm, likes arguing with Raze. Other than that, no comment."

 

Travis 'Ace' Harbrig: "Now there's someone ah can understand, at least a little bit. Even if he is a bit cocky."

 

BiPHMA 'Bif': "He's a droid. A medical droid. What else can ah say? Although ah am kind of curious what he looks like inside."

 

Ulim 'Xeroree: "Interesting. He's a bounty hunter, but he's so dang honorable. It's actually a nice combination. He's manning my gun now, but ah don't mind. He deserves it, you know?"

 

Otaktay Wicasa: "Who?"

 

 

Okay, now what do I need to change? I'm sure there's something messed up that I didn't notice.

[JasraLantill]

Like what you got so far. So... have you decided where/how your character will be integrated into the current crew? Will you have just been sleeping on the Eclipse or will we pick you up later?

[Dark_Lady]

I'll have been sleeping. Unless you want to pick me up later.

[JasraLantill]

Great! Perhaps you can use Raze and Rita's latest argument (which had to have been pretty loud) as an opening to jump into the RP.

[Master_Archon]

Hey, that could give my character an oportunity to meet someone new, like, my guy could have been directed to the wrong room, ect. It's just an idea, but it gives a good reason for your character waking up, heheheh! Also gives a good laugh, because I don't think your character's going to like an eight foot tall alien walking into her room, hahahaha! Makes me laugh when I think about it.

 

Edit: - Sorry, didn't see your post above Jasra, but it depends on D_L for which way she'd rather wake up, if she wants to wake up your way, my way, both ways, or an entirely new way.

[JasraLantill]

That would work too!

[Master_Archon]

By the way, I haven't seen you around the Forums in quite awhile, how are you (I mean you D_L, not Jasra, incase that was confusing)? Oh, and me and Rex both are wondering when you'll post your...wait, no can't advertise...um, I'll get back to you on this.
