Hey kids!

I'd like some people to hit up an RP, or indeed a few thereof. Basically the point of this is to establish a new character, get him interacting and beginning his little story through the galaxy. Just ftr, his profile isn't up atm, and may not be for a little while (not that it's important as I'm going to tell you all the important stuff here).

So here's the deal:
He's a human in his mid twenties. He is force sensitive, and OOC he may well have been trained to a good level beforehand. However, he is an amnesiac, and has no recollection of his life past about a year before the current date in the RP. As if to confound his problems, despite not remembering his training (and thus not being able to control his abilities), in moments of extreme danger/high emotion/stress his subconscious almost takes over - he essentially blacks out and becomes a creature purely of instinct, incapable of reason, speech, and pretty much everything else except for action, and his subconscious can use the force. His amnesia is also irregularly recurrent, after these episodes, he can have forgotten anything from the details of the episode itself to whatever he's been up to the past month.

The RP I'm going to put up occurs as a kind of flashback, he's at the moment (as the first post will show) stranded on a small ship with a Jedi Padawan. The thread will begin "One week earlier..."

Just ftr I'm not going to control the RP to that end too much, wherever the RP ends up ending I'll add on how he and the padawan came to their current situation after, in the next stage of his story.

Here's the premise:
The past year he's lived with difficulty with the recurring amnesia and bouts of Jekyll 'n Hyde style madness. After realising that living in society as he was could not really work and in an attempt to stop causing harm to others he has travelled to Thyferra in an attempt to seek help, after hearing word of a Jedi-like order based there (the Shade Order), fearing that the Jedi would not trust him and the Bogan would try to use him if he sought either of them. He had been on-world for a few days with little avail when he was approached by a man attempting to offer him help. In reality, the man was a bounty hunter.

In lieu of his past actions, a galaxy-wide Bounty had been placed on his head, although with strict instructions that no payment would be provided if he were to die. In practice, several people are interested in his condition and wish to have him for study, legally or otherwise. In addition to the Bounty, the Jedi have also heard of his predicament and have despatched a Jedi Knight to make contact with him and try to persuade him to come willingly. Going feral at the attack from the Bounty Hunter, he fled into the wilds of Thyferra, eventually coming to a remote settlement of former outlaws. However, still in his feral state he attacked and wounded the first of the villagers to approach him, before fleeing into the wild.

The Jedi and Bounty Hunter both tracked him to the settlement, although arrived at separate times. The villagers, fearing the Jedi was of the same brutal intent as the quarry, elected to feed false information to become rid of the off-worlder; likewise, upon meeting the bounty hunter and learning of the heft prize for the man, certain members of the village hatched their own scheme. The village elder, a wily and deceitful man named Jorann, elected to use the men of the village to capture him themselves and claim their profit. In order to ensure that word of this did not spread, they murdered both the Jedi and Bounty Hunter in their sleep, having offered them refuge.

It's at this point the RP starts. I'll be playing my character, and will also NPC the village elder, Jorann. Sreeya will be joining as the padawan of the deceased Jedi, trying to find out what happened to her master. I'm happy for 2 or 3 more people to join, as long as they have a valid reason (so bounty hunters/mercs have the best reasons, but if you can come up with one for a character who isn't just interested in the bounty then I'm game).

If you're interested, post here and we'll work something out...oh and I know I said 2 or 3, but don't be put off if this does get any replies as, on the off chance more people are interested, it won't be first come first served.

TL;DR: Anyone fancy an RP?

EDIT:

Sounds interesting. I might have Nol Tsviets, Albedo Apeiron, or Doc Love search for him for research purposes.

My main character, Owyn Deak, was promoted to Knighthood just before the time skip and has spent the four year time period wandering the galaxy more or less as the Force guides him. I would be down with him playing a part in this, but I'm not sure how his presence would fit into the overall story.

Maybe Sreeya's character could send a distress call at some point and my guy just happen to be in the neighborhood? I don't know, if you want me I am in but if it doesn't fit I understand that as well.

so what exactly do you want with another rper exactly i wouldn't mind going with my old character misha to strengthen story or something. than again i have missions to do whenever i have my new master, so maybe he could be a secondary with a primary role in a mission? like being a contact or the guy we're doing the mission for or something idk :) sounds like a good character. i like the amnesiac thing. maybe you could be Misha's new found partner and along the way develop both storys with me and you stat to go your own way after awhile of unravelling story or something idk just offerin help :D

I would be up for joining in with my Shade, as all this takes place on Thyferra he could have got word of this from somewhere or simply felt something through the Force and decided to investigate.

I could join with Caelus disguised as a merc, and have him be on a mission to take out a rogue Force sensitive.

Just FTR I'm not saying definite yes or no to anybody just yet, I'm still keen to gather ideas and interest, and flesh out a little of what we have here already.

Sounds interesting. I might have Nol Tsviets, Albedo Apeiron, or Doc Love search for him for research purposes.
What reasoning would any of them be involved? They're not bounty hunters and atm I believe the Bogan have more of a "wait and see" regard to him.

I don't think Sreeya would have the chance to send a distress signal, they're in the jungle after all. If there's another reason for him to be on Thyferra, or for him to be tracking this guy without the council knowing...?

I want them to RP. Link to Misha's profile? I don't quite understand what you mean as a secondary or primary in a mission. What kind of character is Misha? Faction?
I would be up for joining in with my Shade, as all this takes place on Thyferra he could have got word of this from somewhere or simply felt something through the Force and decided to investigate.
Shade involvement is interesting. What goal would he have though...why is he getting involved, I mean?

Is he actually part of Republic black ops? This guy is strictly wanted alive, although he has been responsible for damage, injury and even death, the acts have been seemingly random in terms of those killed (ie not faction/allegiance specific) so he's not for or against any factions atm.

Well as the Jedi know of his situation it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to assume that the Shades would also know something about him, specially if he's on their home turf. So maybe he was intrigued by his condition and came to meet him for himself and maybe offer him refuge and a chance at getting some training?

He is a black op of a clandestine cell. Think Treadstone and Blackbriar, not an "official existing group" known or recognized by the government, but a splinter faction. But abduction is something under his specialization, so he can act on performing that sort action.

Both Albedo and Nol are obsessed with researching the force, so your character would interest them. Doc Love might be piqued by his medical research. Still, if there's others, then by all means let them.

My bounty-thequickerpickerupper-hunter character, Arch, is... well, a bounty hunter. His reasoning for this particular case would be for money. Because that's what most bounty hunters do work for, from what I understand of their profession.

I'm not particularly interested in having him die just yet, but I mean, whatever happens, happens. I feel like I used too many commas in that sentence.

So yeah, Arch! I think he's the green-ish text in my signature. I'll check. Yes it is. HUZZAH!

Ah she's a Jedi...as it happens I think we're set for Jedi involvement in this thread, but maybe later in the character's story we could work something out.

So maybe he was intrigued by his condition and came to meet him for himself and maybe offer him refuge and a chance at getting some training?
I like the idea of a Shade stumbling across the situation. Actually I can think of a way that might work into the story quite well, as a matter of fact.
He is a black op of a clandestine cell. Think Treadstone and Blackbriar, not an "official existing group" known or recognized by the government, but a splinter faction. But abduction is something under his specialization, so he can act on performing that sort action.
Would he be abducting to claim the bounty, for the Republic, or for an independent employer? I like the idea of someone who isn't just a typical bounty hunter going after him.

These are more personally interested characters? For this I was going more for Bounty Hunters and cash grabbers. And ftr there won't be Bogan involvement in this thread.

I would like a Bounty Hunter, if not two, involved, as there's cash up for grabs for him. But do bear in mind, the cash is for a live bounty, no payment for dead collection in this case (because he's useless to any interested party dead).

That depends on whatever scenario you'd want to work with. He would not be trying to claim the bounty, but it could be an amalgamation of the latter two. For example, it could be that someone high up in the hierarchy of the Black Ops leadership is part of the group that wants to study your character and his condition, so in that sense, his mission could be twofold.

Yeah! Sorry, I meant that I didn't want my character to die. Arch may be crazy, but he's smart as well. But yeah, I'm offering my RP-ness.

The thread is up:

http://www.thestarwarsrp.com/forum/showthread.php?p=661021#post661021

Sorry if you haven't made the Invite List, I didn't want more than 5 PCs in the thread and I wanted certain specific roles filled. If you're still interested in RPing with me, this character or otherwise, we'll work something out in the near future :)

Invite List
Jedi Padawan (Sreeya)
Issan Tanoor (Nexus)
Caelus (Xeno)
Arch (Snuffalupagus)

I have added this to the first post.

Just FYI in case my post was confusing:

- the first chunk of my post is the flyby (and unseen drop) of Xeno's char
- the second is in direct response to Snuff's char (hope you didn't mind, I presumed you wanted me to respond - just ftr, the farming village is a few km trek from the spaceport in the jungle, but there's no impetus to go there, you can just go search for my char in the jungle if you want)
- the third is in response to Sreeya's char
- the fourth is the introduction of my character on Thyferra
- the fifth is a response to the arrival of Nexus' char
