Wizard of the Coat Posted October 25, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 25, 2023 It's too late to bring this up as a serious possibility, but MG's comment reminds me that I, too, like Nautolans. More importantly, for a few decades now I've had this interest in playing a Star Wars game where all the PCs were amphibious, and the game could focus on water planets and be loaded with underwater adventures. Definitely off the beaten path for a Star Wars campaign, but I'd enjoy it. FYI, the Outer Rim sector I developed for my Star Wars campaigns, just happens to be loaded with a disproportionately high number of water planets and amphibious sentient species population centers.

Illogictree Posted October 26, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 26, 2023 Nautolans, Nautolans, Swimming in the ocean, Causing a commotion Because they are so awesome! They're the Jedi of the sea, They stop Cthulhu from eatin' ye? ...OK so I don't think that works but oh well.

Malkavian Grin Posted October 26, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 26, 2023 Woo! I finally got my character wrote up to a point I'm okay with posting. I haven't wrote the backstory up just yet but hinted at some of it. I think for once I'm going to keep Che and her master out of the Clone Wars and come up with some different trauma to inflict on them. 😈 Does anyone want to do a team-up?

Wizard of the Coat Posted October 26, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 26, 2023 The idea of teaming up has not drawn a lot of interest so far. I'm sure different players have different reasons for avoiding AdellRazh's "team up" suggestion/invitation. For me, the idea of a team up is complicated because many of the PC applications are Jedi, who are wanted by the Empire. My PC's backstory has her also on the run and looking to keep a low profile (and feeling a bit paranoid/fearful). The last thing she'd want to do is team up with a Jedi. In terms of her background, it would make more sense for Lav (my PC) to have teamed up with one or more of the PCs who are good at... clandestine activities. These would be: Sophic, Human Tech and Slicer @Starhawk Kishatriya Darro - Hotshot Smuggler Pilot @Illogictree Alternatively, Lav could make a good traveling companion for either of the two non-Jedi wanderers. Renlo Tacksa - Ex-AgriCorps Spacer (and Doctor on Holiday) @Phntm888 Jor'Dan VII - Grizzled Mercenary @Bobcloclimar These team up choices are based on who would make the most sense as traveling companions for Lav. I think if she were to team up with Jedi, it would require the kind of plot hooks that the game master throws our way in the opening scenes of the campaign. Outside of the GM's plans, I would not introduce a plot hook or background event that would attach Lav to a Jedi. Of course, I could be totally wrong about how this game will work. Very possibly, @AdellRazh is the kind of GM who will run a Session Zero with the selected PC and let us decide how are PCs know each other and what kind of adventures we'll have together. And if that's the case, then we could be doing some of that now. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdellRazh Posted October 26, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 26, 2023 Most likely, the game will open with some kind of adventure where all of the PCs are drawn together. I don't have any hard and fast ideas for quite how that'll work, but I like to think I am good at my job, so once the party is nailed down I'll find a way to make that party a party. Star Wars is all about eccentric collections of weirdos coming together and saving the day, after all.

He is just not a Jedi proper. He is also, technically, not a doctor. He is, however, someone who is well-versed in medical training from either the tutelage of an actual doctor or his time in the Jedi Temple. Renlo's background is such that it is not unreasonable that he has crossed paths with other potential players, but his inherent wanderlust tends to result in him moving on after a while. He likes seeing new people and places, and he has sufficient skills to be able to find work that allows him to do so.

I actually thought there wasn't many Jedi apps but i also didn't look very hard. Maybe i should've gone with the scoundrel Nautolan... Oh well. I have my doubts I'll be chosen anyhow.

But yes, she'd fit in pretty much any story where folks need transportation. She has a ship, a blaster, a pile of debts to pay off, and more bravado than sense.

Lav living her life on the run. Things go sideways. Chaos ensues. Lav living an exciting life of adventure with an eccentric collection of weirdos.
