Character Discussion

Post your character ideas here. Initially that just means vague descriptions, we can fill in the details and stats as we go.

I've got multiple ideas for characters that I could run with. I'm willing to be flexible if others have their mind set on something, so that we all of our bases covered.

Flug, are we using Obligation/Duty along with Morality?

I've created a character and went as star wars as I could with the name - Mayron Suntrigger.

He's a Jedi enthusiast who had to start doing his artefact searching on the sly once the Empire came to power. In his mid twenties (human), he was tipped off about a great find on an uninhabited backwater planet.

He went there, but then the tipster robbed him and left him stranded there. Mayron survived the for several years before he found a ransacked, abandoned temple.

Deep inside was a pool in which Mayron had an awakening. A few months after that, he found an imperial research outpost. He stole some supplies and gear, then stowed away on a supply run shuttle.

He'll be Human Seeker - Ataru Striker

Flamiel; to keep it simple we will just stick to Morality for this one.

ShowMeDaMonehs; sounds good!

I should also mention; your character may not know anything about the Force at game start, if you find that more interesting. They may be totally unaware of the Sensitivity and only through interaction with the others, and learning new things during the adventure do they come to understand it.

bigtucker; I have looked over your character sheet for Juse and it looks good except for a couple of little things. First, you haven't specified your Morality value yet. By default you start at 50, but can then choose from the following options:

-Gain +10 starting XP. This XP increases the starting XP the PC gains when the player selects a species, and it can be spent to increase skills or characteristics, purchase talents, or obtain new specializations or Force powers. More on spending XP is covered on page 102.

-Gain +2,500 starting credits. This money may be spent on the PC’s starting gear or saved to be spent during gameplay. More on spending starting credits is covered on page 107.

-Gain +5 starting XP and +1,000 starting credits.

- Increase or decrease the PC’s starting Morality by 21. This gives the PC the option of beginning with a Morality of 29 or a Morality of 71.

---

Also, the Confidence talent costs 10XP, you marked it down as 5. So you could choose one of the options above which give more XP, or just choose a different talent or Skill for 5XP.

ShowMeDaMonehs; could I amend your backstory slightly? Feel free to say no, but it would make the whole party-getting-together thing slightly easier. Instead of Mayron finding an Imperial outpost, could he stumble on a camp where some explorers landed, but were mysteriously absent (perhaps killed by animals/disease/each other). You eventually managed to bypass security on their ship and jumped back to civilisation.

Does that work for you?

Yeah man. That works for me.

I've submitted the start of my character. I'm still filling it in. I've got the backstory written in notepad, so need to transfer that, too.

I'm looking at a Nikto Guardian/Armorer, heavy in Brawn, but has some strength of mind and spirit, too. Will not be the most pleasant company to have around, though.

General backstory will be escaped slave who was mentored while in captivity, who has an introduction to the Force, but yearns to learn more.

So far we have a human Seeker/Ataru Striker, a twi-lek Consular/Sage and a nikto Guardian/Armorer.

gcardoso; what are your thoughts on a character? Are you leaning towards anything in particular?

We will also have a fifth player joining; galrion.

I am working on quick prologue to get the characters together. I have given Mayron a ship so you can all be galactically mobile, so you guys just need to come up with a reason for your character to be at the edge of the galaxy (specifically a system called Zaddja, no need to look at Wookieepedia, nothing there is relevant), and some motivation to stick together as a group. On that note, I might ask some of you to adjust little bits and pieces of your backstory. The Force connects all of you together, so you may find more than one strange coincidence.

I love it when a plan comes together!

What ship are the gang having as a matter of interest? I'm personally quite fond of the E9 Loronar Explorer, and it quite well suits the kinda thing Mayron would've found at an abandoned research outpost on an out of the way planet.

It was between that and the one I actually chose; an A-36 Pathfinder. It's slightly faster and better armed than the Explorer, but has less cargo capacity. Which I thought was an okay tradeoff.

Sounds good to me. Got any images for it? I can't seem to find any that aren't hosted weirdly out of FFG's forums so I can't embiggen them.

There don't seem to be any good arty images of the ship, just a couple of deckplans. This is the best, I think.

I'm an engineer so deck plans are my jam.

I'm about to start teaching myself 3D modelling in Blender, and when I get good enough I intend to start modelling Star Wars things (droids, lightsabers, blasters and vehicles). I think the Pathfinder will be my first ship, mostly because there are so few images of it.

I've got a couple of concepts that I'm interested in. Based on what I'm seeing so far maybe this one works best. A Pantoran Mystic/Advisor attached as an intern to a team trying to determine the viability of expanding their reach into the nearby systems. Something went horribly wrong and he was either separated from the main group or is the sole survivor.

Sounds interesting. Feel free to have a group of friends with you at the start of the Prologue, if it fits the backstory. I've come up with a way of filtering them out.

i'm still trying to build my jedi. when is this going to start ? do i have to send the pdf ?

No need to send the PDF, just transfer the stats over to a Gamersplane character sheet (link in the header), and when you have saved it you can submit it to the game. I'll then be able to review the character and approve it.

Also, please post some information about your character here for everyone to see; who is he? Where is he from? Species? Motivations? Whatever you think relevant.
