Character Creation discussion

So Xizen = Leader / Face, Private Eye
Longhorn Beefy Muscle /Xizen's Guy
Moyk Melee fighter / Elistar's Partner
Elistar Survivalist Smuggler Pilot, pistoleer ;) and Moyk's Partner in crime (Literally)
Dagit Mon Cal Smuggler / Pilot and ship tinkerer

Sounds like a good crew. Are we missing any one?

I think just Heretek and J.S are left to consider characters

Ras Bolo is a human mechanic who was forced out of a stable life and into the criminal underworld by circumstances beyond his control. There he managed to lose himself and, for now, has managed to scrape by through plying his mechanical talents. This eventually led to him signing on with the group, who at the very least seem to look out for eachother. Ras prefers not to talk about his old life, fearful that he won't be able to run forever. But luckily for him, in this part of the galaxy stories like his are a dime a dozen, and nobody's pried too much into his past... So far.

I think we just need JS's character.

So we should be talking starting gear, syndicate stuff next right?

I like Dagits back story about the ship, so Even if it was "guild backed financing" I don't mind it being "his ship."

Should we have an additoonal ship as well? 7 pcs are tough to fit in 1 ship.

Should we have a second? Any speeders or planetary transport? What kind of things should we be dealing with? I was thinking smuggling weapons and banned or black market items. I'm not to keen on slave trade etc.

Our base of operations as well? I was thinking sonce we are small time starting, maybe a backroom in a popular cantina?

Yeah for starting a syndicate your dealings will be into one market and it will be very small to start off. After characters are created we will talk more about the syndicate and assets you may have

Just to clarify for the slow kid, we’ll do standard gear and then discuss shared resources from the syndicate.

I wasn't expecting a team of 7 or more. The Star of Dac only has room for 6. Anything larger would be a lot more expensive. Dagit has a debt to repay to the shipbuilder/modifier and a favor to be repaid in lieu of interest on that debt. I will present the ship to our GM and see what he has to say about it. The Star does require a crew of three. Dagit is a qualified gunner and a novice pilot. I know we have at least one other pilot so a 2nd, smaller ship could work but it would either have to be towed by the Star or fly in tandem.

I'm having 2nd thoughts about Dagit being a Mon Calamari. The species attributes only allow a starting Cunning stat of 1D. I was originally thinking of 4D. If I can ever get the species pdf loaded I may have to look for another species.

I cut us down to 6 as I never got any word from the 7th person despite pming them. We will proceed as 6. Well also determine a ship later. At this point ill start taking characters

Rock and roll! :)

Now that I've been able to load the EotE pdf I'm finding a lot of differences with the game as I originally played it. I'm rethinking the entire background. I'm leaning strongly toward a Bothan smuggler with the pilot specialization. He would be strong as an interstellar pilot with astrogation skills but not so adept at atmo piloting. As soon as I can put all that together in a historical perspective and plug in the numbers I will submit the character.

@aws5000 I'm using ogg's character generator if you want a copy of my sheet with that format.

@somebox I usually use that to make a copy for everyones character once all have been submitted. More than welcome to use it and when you do post it, make a separate thread for your character in the subforum characters

Also for everyone when you submit your character please also post in the characters subforum making a thread for your PC. In it, if you would please also list out what you spent XP on.

ALSO

Starting Credits will be 500+D100.

Please note if youre taking on extra obligation for extra credits/xp.

Rolling for starting credits.

So thats 558 credits? or 1080? (sorry for the noobish question)

558 and no worries don't be sorry!

Thanks!

I'm having some difficulty creating a good reason for Dagit to be on Socorro and being involved with the underworld. He would have gained his piloting skills from a freight transfer company plying the galactic fringe but the transition seems a little unsatisfactory. This leads me into concerns about obligation. If he had his own ship, I would use debt and favor as obligations but that is apparently not available. His Bothan parents were killed by Imperial bounty hunters so perhaps vengeance would be a good obligation but that seems to beg for GM approval.

Once I figure out the transition issue stated above and I fill out his gear with a d100 roll (appended) I will be able to submit.

Perhaps he unwittingly took a hot shipment from a crime boss and landed in trouble? He might've gotten flagged by the Imperials as a smuggler, causing the freight company to drop him and making it hard to get legitimate contracts, or some problem with the shipment put him in hot water with the crime boss or a rival crime boss?

Perhaps you had a ship on credit or was loaning it and in the course of business lost it or it got destroyed and now people are coming and looking for repayment. Theres many ways you can stretch it

OK. I came up with a hook. I just hope the vengeance angle works for everyone. I've completed the character and it should be available to load into the other subforum. I'm not sure how complete it is or if something is missing. Please let me know if you find any errors or omissions.
