Character Creation

If there's anything you want to know about the world/campaign that might affect the type of character you want to build, feel free to ask (or even suggest something - this world isn't set in stone).

I tend to play whatever is needed. So if we end up needing a face, or a pilot or whatever, that's what I'll probably pick.

I'm thinking about playing a character who's good at mechanic/computers. I basically ported over another character who I didn't get a chance to play in a different system, adapting his personality and backstory to this setting. Basically, he's a mechanic who works mostly with droids. When the Resources Teams started threatening vendors, he was also one of those targeted, much to his chagrin. When given a chance to try and kick the Imperials out of Falu, he took it.

Also, some questions about the setting. What does Falu and Bolygo look like? How far do you expect us to travel (one planet, many planets, many systems)?

Bolygo is a sparsely populated planet, with most of the population concentrated in the cities and villages that dot the planet. Falu itself is of large enough size that it has it's own active security force (FSF - Falu Security Force) and is home to several small technology companies and other businesses as well.

Depending on how the game goes, you will be traveling between planets within the system and to other systems as well.

(I'll add some entries to the places thread in the next day or two).

What about biomes?

The planet itself is temperate almost the entire year around, with an exception of about a month where the temperate dips below freezing. The planet is almost entirely covered with a combination of barren grasslands and heavily wooded areas.

Character is still work in progress but I am thinking
Species: Human female
career: Spy
specialization: Scout
I'm still inspired by this image, but the final avatar will be made with Heroforge.comcurrent backstory:
She started as a courier, driving a speeder from A to B, delivering parcels. At some point, she suspected that it was not sabrack trading card she moved in and out of the Imperial cities.
Her lived above a mom-n-pop shop in Felu, a sweet couple that the Resource Team roughed up when they did not want to pay the listed price for the blankets. That was when she started paying close attention to the Resource Teams.


Duty:
Intelligence: The PC knows that every victory hinges on knowing as much about the Empire's military might and other assets as possible. He is driven to gather any and all potentially useful data, wishing to locate vital and vulnerable targets for Rebellion forces to strike at. He not only wants to know what the Imperial military factions are up to. but also the state of technological research, economic policies, and other aspects of Imperial strength.

Hi peeps, really glad to be on board with this. I'm thinking of going with a Weequay bruiser type, thinking their cover on planet would be doing some type of heavy labour which means they're going to be big, strong, and dumb :) Commando would seem to be a good fit for what I've got in mind for them

I'm missing duty value and posibly milking that for xp or credits. And buying gear.
But the rest is roughly there. There will be some tweaks and avatar design, but I have submittet what I have

Submitted my character sheet. Meet Kip Buckler, owner of Buckler's Bolts (name tentative), a mechanics workshop. I might try rolling Duty.

Hmm. Doesn't quite seem right. I guess Tech Procurement fits the best.

Let’s work on a little background, shall we?

How did your characters meet? Did they know each other before being being directed to the first ambush site? Is there a place you all use as an HQ, maybe one of the characters’ business locations/residence, or possibly the cache site? Have you told anyone outside of your group about your activities - even though the contact has told you not to trust anyone?

Looks like I'll do a face character.

is Kip Nell's speederbike repair guy?

Sure, why not.

Looks like I'll be playing a Bothan 'infomerchant'(charmer, might dip into quartermaster later.). He is all about connecting people to who or what they need. Need intel? equipment? safe passage? he know a guy. So much so that everyone just jokingly calls him 'Guy', which is fine, he doesn't need his real name out there anyway.

Is gear from any book okay for starting equipment or only the core books? (as long as it's low enough rarity of course.)

Gear, careers, and such all from one of the two core books (EotE or AoR).

How much duty do we start with?

OK, I'll change from charmer to quartermaster then. I'll get some starting items and be ready to go asap.

Gurag, Weequay Commando is now submitted:

From an early age Gurag had heard tales of the Republic, before the dark days of the Empire. Whilst a lot of his kin got swept up into piracy and banditry he tried to lead a better life, espousing these ideals that he had been brought up on. When he heard tales of an insurgency against the Empire he had to join, and after a while he did just that. His new 'job' kept dragging him away from home but one day he came back and found everyone gone. The Empire had swept through under the guise of cracking down on piracy. Whilst Gurag knew some of those from his home city were involved in piracy most were just regular people. His new contacts managed to get word that his home, amongst other planets, had been targeted in similar actions. The people being dragged off under the basis of being arrested for various crimes but were actually being used as slave labour on some construction project....a very large project. For now he is working his best to aid the Rebellion figuring the more he moves up in the ranks the more access he will get to information that might uncover where his people are....

His cover on Falu is working as a contractor on various construction projects. He uses his cover to scout out potential targets for Resource raids (Resource Acquisition Duty). Anytime he comes across any equipment that is more advanced than he normally keeps an eye out for he makes sure to pass on the details to Kip. His main role in the squad is when things turn violent to bring on the firepower but he much prefers to get stuck in with his rather impressive fists but on the flip side he also has some small amount of medical training and is pretty handy at patching the squad up if needed.

With four players everyone starts with 10 duty (Table 2-1 in AoR) which can then be exchanged for starting credits/XP as detailed in Table 2-2 in AoR if one chooses to do so.

Looks like everyone has submitted their characters. Once everyone has their equipment (including their allotment from the stash) sorted I can throw us all right into the action unless there are any outstanding questions or issues.

Depends on the droid. :-)

You'll need at least 7000 credits before you can really start looking. Astromech will run about 8000, for example.

I should be good to go

Nell will take the Armored clothing and the Macrobinocular. She has spent 5 duty to get 1000c. Slicer gear is expensive

So are we are playing as if the four characters have been working together already for a bit?
Also, when would you like us to start posting in the IC thread?

The four of you have worked together on a few ambushes already. Whether you knew each other before that is up to you. I’ll make another post in the play thread tonight and we can go from there!

Gurag is taking a Combat Knife, a commlink and a stimpack

Tayen can lay claim to items still available on the above list? If so, she'll grab the heavy blaster pistol, the padded armor, a comlink, and a stimpack.

Yep. He can grab whatever he needs from there.
