BattleDog Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Before the Empire, before the Republic: Since the invention of the Hyperdrive mankind has spread from his homeland, the cradle of his existance, out into the void. Over the past 500 years conflict, chace and disaster have reduced the number of factions down to four. With the Death of Xem the Despot a large portion of the galaxy is up for grabs. Now the four remaining ruling houses must divide up this last area of contested space, or face another intergalactic war! Okay, here's how I figure, this portion of SW history is pretty vague. So why not muck around. There are however rules about tech: No Light Sabers No Blasters, there are beam tubes but they way 15Kg including backpack and they are really unreliable. No Proton Torps etc. just explosive missiles. Cap ships have no Turbo Lasers, just "real lasers" and rockets. No vibro blades. So basically hand weapons are swords, knives and guns. No Starfighters, atmopheric fighters that can be ferried from a Cap but no space worthy versions. The Jedi are just a group of philosiphers. No planets beyond the Inner Rim. Sorry if thats long winded, but as near as I can tell, that how it is. ------------------------------------- RPG Rules: No God Moding. No One post Kills. Post a Bio. Charecter must be an Inner Rim species, if in doupt go Human. You must be affiliated to the one of the four ruling houses. First three replies get to create the houses. ------------------------------------- *Malken Flax watched his father, the old man was getting more agitated by the moment, Malken briefly considerd having the BattleDogs escort his father out before he killed someone. That, unfortunatly would be a terrible loss of face, so Malken let him rant.* Draslo Flax: The Alcerpati system is on our border, it should be seeded to us! *The other three lords present frowned.* *The chamber they were in was a high, vaulted room, in the main tower of the "Galactic Central Goverment Palace" A title someone came up with to describe the quarterd castle, with the tower at its centre., that acted as the meeting place for the four ruling houses.* *Malken sighed, it was going to be a long day.* Charecter Bios Name: Draslo Flax Position: Leader of the House Flax, head of the Order of the BattleDogs. General Description: An old man with white hair and a bad temper. He was once a great warrior, however he is far from his youth. This makes him bitter. Age: 85 -------------------------------------------------- Name: Malken Flax Position: Future Leader of the House Flax General Description: A young man, of vision. He has a political mind however he is also a great General, Warrior and Pilot, despite this he hates war. He wishes to find a way to unite the houses and end the bloodshed. Age: 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 ((OOS: Very nice idea, BD. One question: Is this Cantina-verse related? [or allowing for the non-Star Wars ideas introduced in that group of RPGs])) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BattleDog Posted April 15, 2003 Author Share Posted April 15, 2003 ((OSS: Redwing, well Cantina-Verse? *Shrugs.* I am bending the cannon a bit already, so why not. Try not create a mess of crossing Vampires and Demons in the first 4 pages though. I actaully thought it would be interesting to see the roots of some of the modern charecter's families.))

BattleDog Posted April 15, 2003 Author Share Posted April 15, 2003 Well Palpy isn't from a dynasty. As opposed to Flax or Deac. (Kinda hoping for house Starkiller to pop up here.) Go for the Mother's side. Call is House Cracken. Although in that case you should probably speak to Cracken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuuki Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 ((Its Cracken's basis for his character, Irvine is just a son of Cracken.

Admiral Odin Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 ((Interesing. You had to mention swords to catch my attention. although by keeping it to the inner rim planets you elimante the Aesir, (which doesn't matter since I probably wouldn't have included them in for this paticular rpg). My question is would there be any alliances to start out with. Say I create House A, could the be allied with your house?)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deac Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 [The Old Republic was actually formed 25K years BBY.

However, the galaxy was soon plunged into war, and the Atredians have found that if they do not fight, they will die...

BattleDog Posted April 15, 2003 Author Share Posted April 15, 2003 ((Actually Deac I think that was the first Republic and it colapsed. At any rate I don't care. Admiral, not exactly allied, since if it was it would be counted as part of the Flax block. However, the houses can be on good terms. As to the Inner Rim, well that is very flexable.))

Deac Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 [Council meeting] *A younger man, Torm Ilmater wears the robes of his house and stands in his seat* Torm: Please! Let's calm down! Each House can have as many worlds as it can cope with...let's not start squabbling here! Lord Dralso, as that world is closest to your homeworld, House Starkiller makes no claim to it.

Redwing Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 ((Okay, I'm alive again! BD: Deac's right, this whole thing is 25K BBY if Xem just died and we still have beam tubes. [ see: http://www.theforce.net/timetales/tt1-1/sect1-1.shtml ] Not that it matters Also you don't need to worry about vampires. Except perhaps for the ancient Lelan, the galaxy as we know it is empty of magic, vampires, and the like. (i.e. stuff from Mrear) The world of magic is hidden away. Scar: Remember you can't control Cracken's characters, even dead ones. Also, didn't I tell you a billion times that there was no bloodline? Why do you keep insisting there must be a bloodline?)) House Darkholme House Darkholme is a sly and crafty one. It has two main divisions, or sub-houses: House Raven and House Slythen. House Slythen, the older house, has a reputation underhanded dealings and a hidden ruthlessness, and to be dealt with more warily. House Raven has a reputation of cleverness, and is the youngest of the houses. Together the two form House Darkholme. Their symbol is that of a raven and a serpent.
