Summer Silver

      Sienn Freetaa Twi'lek Noble, Level 1 Vitality: 13 / 13 Sienn led her droids as the fearsome-looking trandoshan out and around, arriving just in time for the fight to start. Her eyes widened at the sight of a lightsaber but she quickly pushed her shock aside and pulled out her own small blaster. "Go-1, Go-2, be careful with your fire. Only hit the stormtroopers," she ordered her guards droids before aiming and opening fire. The pair quickly followed her lead, taking slow carefully aimed shots toward the imperial thugs to avoid hitting any bystanders rather than laying down more substantial fire.

      Sienn Freetaa Twi'lek Noble, Level 1 Vitality: 13 / 13 Sienn felt a surge of worry from the shouts outside and Teel's words weren't making her feel any better. Luckily some of the other occupants seemed to be stepping up to help resolve the situation. However seeing even little K8 willing to do something she couldn't bare to stand back any longer herself.   "Kate is trying to help," she told the trandoshan quietly. "We should do the same. Is there an exit through the back by chance?" She glanced toward Teel with that question, asking in a hurried tone. She wasn't going to leave the human out there alone but she didn't want to get bottlenecked at the door. If she could go around through another exit though with her droids then perhaps she could surprise the stormtroopers from behind while they were focusing on the brave young woman.  

      Sienn Freetaa Twi'lek Noble, Level 1 Vitality: 13 / 13   Sienn gave a horrified look at the news that the imperials were shooting at normal civilians. What in the galaxy could that possibly accomplish? She felt her gut churn as she considered Teel's words. There were so much harm they could do to a nice place like Cloud City if they wanted to, it was more than troubling that they seemed to be taking their hurt pride out on everyday sentients.   "Is anything being done about this," she asked worriedly. "Surely whoever's in charge here has filed a complaint with the nearest Moff or at least opened a dialog with the local commander. It doesn't do anyone any good for them to act this way, right?" Hearing the commotion outside she bit her lip in worry. She glanced around at the other occupants of the dinner, trying to think of how she could possibly help ease the tension without risking getting shot herself.

      Sienn Freetaa Twi'lek Noble, Level 1 Vitality: 13 / 13   Sienn gave Teel a smile and moved her glass closer for the offered refill. "Thank you. I appreciate it," she told her with a nod. She opened her mouth to say something else when the commotion began. At the mention of stormtroopers she tensed, glancing nervously toward the back of the room where her she had sent her droid protectors to stay out of the way. "Do the imperials arrest people here often," she asked Teel in a worried tone. "I thought things were a bit calmer here then all that."

      Sienn Freetaa Twi'lek Noble, Level 1 Vitality: 13 / 13   Sitting at the bar Sienn couldn't help but watch the bar around her with a small look of wonder. She didn't really get to just hang out in places like this back home. Her Uncle always insisted it was unsafe for her outside of her residence or a few other select destinations. She didn't get to just go out and watch everyday people as they went about their day. It was frankly fascinating to her. She examined each of the other patrons with a smile while taking another sip of her drink. Was that a Trandoshan that just walked in? A shiver ran down her spine as she could almost hear the kinds of things that would be said back home if one showed up anywhere she was supposed to be. Warning of danger or comments of contempt. However this one didn't look like they were causing trouble or looking for targets, they just went and spoke with the Ithorian that had been handing around.   So engrossed in her surroundings Sienn didn't even spot the close call until the last moment, pulling her foot back too late to have done any good in avoiding Kate's path. "Oh don't worry about it," she assured the droid with a smile and a wave of her hand. Realizing she was perhaps being a bit too casual, and hardly behaving as expected of her, she sat up a bit straighter and forced a more neutral expression on her face. "That is to say, I do not have any other pressing engagements at this time so you should feel no need to rush. Your work need not be negatively impacted on my account."

Starting with some stats while I brainstorm.   Copied someone else's dice formula and thing I did it wrong so ignore first set. Pretty sure the following two are right.

I was discussing a bit with Fletcher and Primeval, just didn't end up fitting together in a way that worked smoothly for the purposes of tying character together ahead of time.

Sienn isn't specified specifically to make it easier for the initial scene setup. She probably hasn't been in Cloud City a long time but she could have been there a couple days/weeks already or just be stepping off the ship.   How long ago would that have likely been? Just asking since while I again didn't give a specific number I imagine Sienn is in her late teens or early twenties so she was probably born either right before or after the founding of the Empire.        

Hmm at just a glance I'm not seeing any obvious connections for Sienn to have met anyone more than just in passing. Unless anyone else spots something?

Whoops, knew I forgot something. Added

Quick question on an idea I had. I was thinking of a first year who is looking for OUMHS specifically without knowing what it's about or having monster experience. The basic idea so far was a Mundane who had an older sibling that went to the same college and disappeared, leaving behind some notebooks/diaries that make some vague references to OUMHS without saying clearly what it is. So little sis gets into the same college and is trying to figure out what happened to their older sibling, kind of stumbling into the magical stuff.   Not married to the idea yet, just a first thought, and while it felt kind of to theme it didn't fit exactly with what was stated in the creation rules about first years so I figured I'd ask before exploring it further.

As far as the uncle is concerned I was going to go loosely off of canon there. By loosely I mean I remembered that the Twi'lek senator during the Empire era was a hold over from before the Empire due to being extremely corrupt but didn't want to tie myself to any specific details that I'd have to look up and remember. So yeah they're very much in the Emperor's pocket and probably exploiting the hell out of the twi'lek people in ways Sienn doesn't even know about at this point.

Okay think that's everything. Made a couple small changes as I got some ideas. Swapped Leadership for Tech to go with the idea of her being into droid tinkering, figured it would make more sense for her to grow into learning Leadership with the way I did the backstory.   Concerning the Goons is that meant to be it's own category of hireling or the same as grunts?

Just to double check I assume we can kind of flavor Entourage as we wish so long as it fits being just goons? So we can decide at least to start what race they are, or if they're like cheap droids or something?

Her Uncle was the senator of their home system, something that saw many benefits for him and his family. Her father, the senator's brother, had risen from being a moderately successful businessman to a very well-off one with the help of such an important local figure. Of course, it was very simple when Sienn's parents passed for her Uncle to take custody of her, and her family's business dealings of course. Sienn grew up pampers but with little freedom. As she grew older and tried to learn more about her family's business, assuming she would be taking over someday. It helped that one of their primary products, as far as she knew, was droid parts and she had always enjoyed tinkering with those. However her every attempt to learn more about the company itself and get involved in it was stonewalled. Eventually, in her teens, she realized her Uncle would always have some excuse to keep her from claiming control, and it was potentially unsafe to keep pushing the issue while living under his roof. After that she started keeping her intentions to herself a bit more until she was old enough to claim a desire to travel and leave the system. However, while she plays up being the silly socialite with a secret droid hobby in fact she seeks to reclaim her father's company and remove her Uncle from power.   Personality Outwardly Sienn does her best to come across as the kind of girl she was raised to be; elegant, refined, and soft-spoken. Often she slips a bit in that regard, allowing others to see the eloquent and intelligent young lady who enjoys a good debate. Conversations about something she truly enjoys, such as droids, can often lead to her becoming animated and almost energetic. In most things she isn't usually the kind to get her hands dirty but she doesn't mind so much when it comes to tinkering with her few personal projects. She has a strong distaste for perceived injustices and particularly hates the way that many twi'leks are expolited.   Major Goals Regain control of her family company, remove her Uncle from power, and overall help the twi'lek people.   Minor Goals Gain allies and resources outside those connected to or controlled by her Uncle.
