Biography / Starting Story: Vanden was discovered at birth to be Force sensitive - when told the information, his parents made the decision to send him to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for training in order to defend the Republic. Still a Youngling, Vanden survived the Sacking of Coruscant by Sith forces at the age of eight. In the wake of the Treaty of Coruscant, Vanden was present as the Jedi departed for Tython, where he would complete his studies as a Youngling. Eventually, he was chosen to be the Padawan of a young Jedi Knight, and has been under the Knight's tutelage for the past five years. Note: In need of a Jedi Master!!

Just an addendum to the above... Hold off on profile posting for the moment, rather than *us* post your profiles on the new thread, we'll get you guys to post your own, enabling you to edit them later at your leisure if or whenever things change.

Crap sorry!!!

Thanks for the offer, but your character seems a little... dark? for Vanden's "traditional" experience. I think I'd like to have a female master as well so I can add an interesting twist in the plot. xP

You will pay for your insolence..

You're fine. Worst thing that will happen is you will have to come back to this thread to copy/paste into the new thread.

Also, I've updated the OP for all newcomers. We are getting quite a list going.

Edit: Lord Cruentus! Prod at some of the other members of Reign who might be interested.

Eh, evil master, good Padawan is a twist. Besides, your sounds more like a Star Wars-porno...

I CALLED IT FIRST!!

[Aveyn Tamai]

Guys it's no worries about posting it here now, just means you get to C+P later when I post this thread in....5 minutes!

Vanden I'm not going to be *super* involved with Aveyn just because Cluster and I will probably be spending more time plotting *mwah ha ha ha ha* BUT if you want a female master...I might be able to help :D

[Garlen Durakkis]

Lol I just noticed as well!

That's great! We can get together to talk about our plot together if you want? I am thinking it can go one of two ways depending on how involved you actually get in the writing process.

For sure! If you have Skype pm me your email and we can chat about it with more ease.
I'll let you know her backstory and you can decide if it works with what you have in mind for your character. I'm willing to retcon stuff to make it fit better :D

It's weird you say that because I have friends that call me Dar Dar. O.o (Darwhin is real name XD)

I'm unsure how this will work out but, I want to join in. :D

Name:Riddly Dun
Nickname:Rid aka "that guy who talks too much" aka "The tell no lie Smuggler" or No-lie for short(meant to be ironic but actually more of a truth, in turn is even more ironic)
Gender:Male
Age:26
Class:Smuggler

Physical Traits: Agile and quick but clumsy. Uses his left eye to aim with his blaster in the right hand. (Has eye patch on right eye) In turn has a crooked eye look when firing his weapon adding to his goofy attitude.

Species/Race:Human
Height:5'11
Weight:170
Hair Color/Style: Black/Bed head, "looks like he just woke up" kinda of hair. Wears hats to cover his shame.
Facial Appearance:Mustache and goatee, though he tries to grow a beard there are visible patches in his beard. Only thing he can actually grow is mustache and goatee.
Eye Color:Dark Brown
Body Appearance:A medium build with wide shoulders. Has visible scars on back and head. One of the most visible is over his left eye near his hair line. The scar seems to be made from stray blaster fire or an all too close call with a lightsaber. Has an eye patch on his right eye, to cover up something or for his own self image. No one really knows and he doesn't talk about it, either way he never takes it off.

Background:
Home Planet:Tattooine
Current Residence:Hutta, or where ever the space currents take him.
Ship:A modified XS Freighter with cloaking field
Armor: "Who needs armor when your too fast to get hit by blaster bolts!" What he said a second before he got hit and knocked out by a rock.
Preferred Weapon :Pistol
Secondary Weapon(s):Pistol(s)
Miscellaneous Item(s):Lucky coin, small bottle of home-made liquor (claims it has healing properties)
Alignment:Republic

Personality:
Talks too much and with an overactive imagination, he finds himself wandering into his own delusion. Though he learned as a child to never lie that has become his most honorable yet shameful habits of being a smuggler. At the same time he tells so many grandiose stories about other "legendary smugglers" that it is commonly thought he is always lying. Only those close to him are aware of this truth.

Tends to wander in his own mind thinking of grand adventures. Even in the middle of fire fights. Completely oblivious to his own talents he is somewhat humble in his own way. He would rather run from a fight than to get caught in a squabble but when he does get caught in a firefight, he is a dead eye shot and always aims for the head. (claiming they could become zombies; due to stories heard as a child).

Often forgetful and silly, he can change his tone and attitude in a moments notice if he gets angry, often provoking fights and brawls once upset. When he calms down, he claims everything went black and says he doesn't remember anything, close friends and associates claim he is well in control of his actions and the "blacking out is an act" though most are unsure due to his honest nature.

Somewhat indecisive he always carries a lucky coin that he got from his mother. He flips the coin when unsure and follows the choice to a T. He says to hold people at arms length but always ends up becoming too trusting of people. On more than a few occasions hes found himself under a barrel and the only thing that saves him is the element that places him in these situations. The people he trusts always end up coming back. Sometimes only to watch him die, he uses this to his advantage and uses his persuasion to fall blame on the person. All the while, escaping while everyone is focused on the betrayer. But just as often the people who put him there end up rescuing him. Out of guilt, curiosity of the "Tell no lie Smuggler" or they feel he would be a good pawn in their chess game.

Biography / Starting Story:
Was born and raised on Tattooine. Due to boredom and a serious lack of attention span, he found himself wandering into cantinas. Listening to smuggler stories being told. Always imagining himself in these situations and always becoming the hero who also happens to get the girl. Of course, all the stories he heard were glorified and nothing like the real events but no one bothered to try to explain that to him. He grew up with the fantasy that he would one day become the thing he admired the most. A Smuggler. Eventually he found himself someone gullible enough to let him be part of their crew. After many botched trips they decided to leave him in a place they thought he would die in no time. Hutta. What they didn't realize is that even if he was horrible at completing tasks, he has an almost un-natural talent at shooting pistols. Along with that with the overactive imagination, he's acquired with countless stories he's heard. He's got a way of thinking outside the box that boggles and confuses most. Through time and luck these talents became invaluable to him and his survival.

So maybe I should have read the 2nd page first.... Just realized what was said. lol.

*coughs up a Jedi fur ball*

Did someone say RPeeeeeeez ?????




What's the approx planned start time on this so I can whip some of my minions into joining? Will we be having companions to even the odds? What is the overall plot line and who's going to GM? ( we will defo need a GM from experience)
May I also list a limit in numbers on each side, say max 8 -10 as keeping track and keeping turns and story going can be very hard the larger the numbers get.

Basic plot is in the Character Profiles thread, second post :D

Clusterfact and I will be pushing the storyline along through some encounters to keep it moving.
Approx start time is, I would say weekend of the 15th, but if you need more time or people want to join in while it's started, that's totally fine!

We're going to split people up into teams to better keep track of them, rather than having them run around all alone (which yes would be way too crazy to keep track of!). To even out the teams, npcs/companions are OK within reason.

As far as limiting players there'll be no cap on people from our dearest frenemies (you guys and Reign), but as far as Pax players go, there will be the initial team of 4 (we'll be random rolling to determine who'll be in that group this week), and maybe two more teams of 3-4 each for the subsequent "rescue".
