Hello! Long time forum RPer here, although haven't been in a Star Wars RP before! Glad to meet you all and I'm currently figuring out a character. I have a few ideas buzzing around so far.

1. Twi'lek former slave: A young Twi'lek who was caught up in a violent slave revolt that was a phyrric victory for the slaves, who were able to kill the slavers but suffered great losses in the process. The poor lil' thing was badly traumatised seeing pretty much everyone die a violent death, and abuse suffered at the hands of the slavers. She's a scrawny little thing, so, as Twi'leks go, so wasn't really a valuable slave hence why she was treated like garbage.

In the chaos of the revolt she was left behind in the now abandoned slaver ship. Abilities wise she's meant to be quick on her feet, pretty stealthy, and somewhat cunning, but that's only when she's operating at her best. Right now she's in serious need of hugs.


2. The most interesting Mandalorian in the universe: Old bearded guy who kind of looks like Dos Equis "the most interesting man in the world". After getting a -lot- of credits as a mercenary, retired to a more peaceful life. Friendly sort, would be the sort of person to invite all the neighbours round to a big neighbourhood barbecue, which would probably be the best barbecue in the galaxy. A great storyteller, with lots of stories to tell.

Despite his relatively old age, his skills remain as sharp as ever, but, he is no longer interested in mercenary work. That said, he may get behind a cause, if it is good enough.


3. Human freighter captain: A light freighter captain, a skilled pilot who takes a lot of pride in his vessel which is heavily customised. He runs a service known as "you name it, we haul it" which involves, as the name suggests, ferrying cargo. He isn't above smuggling, but most of his work is legal and above ground, meaning that it's not often he really has to worry about the authorities. Heck, he's probably shipped stuff for them in the past anyway.

Abilities wise, skilled pilot and quick enough with a blaster to shoot first nearly every time.

Welcome to SWRP!

Got any questions? I'm here to help. Anyway, in regards to your character ideas: why not all three? But, if I simply had to pick, I'd highly recommend #3. Though #2 would be pretty awesome, I think a smuggler-esque might provide several greater opportunities for a story. Just my own opinion, of course.

Now, you have a marvelous stay!

like the ideas you've put out and i'll read them if/when you write them all up.

i would say (being a bit of a critic here and you just joined the site) but the second idea, "the most interesting man-dalorian in the galaxy" might prove to be boring because from what i understand the most interesting man in the world is aged, wizened and done just about everything so there's nothing really else to do and you also don't want to have a mary sue character either. maybe that's my own interpretation of an insufferable meme. otherwise if you need help with anything let me know.

Thanks for your quick responses! First off, there is a limit of three characters, so I could very well make all three of these characters.

And second, the most interesting mandalorian in the galaxy thing, he's not going to be like that meme really. He's seen a lot and done a lot but that's just sort of turned him into a kindly old man who has some damn good stories to tell.

gotcha, a grizzled ol'veteran "i've hung up my holsters for a spatula and a bag of seed" kind of guy. it actually probably makes sense to not have three super involved characters because juggling 3 charas can be difficult. one kind of in the background as a "go with the flow" kind of setup is good (kind of wish i had thought of that sooner)

Hello! I too like the third character. Smugglers/Cargo haulers are awesome but I'm a bit biased. Enjoy your stay and if you do make a smuggler would love to start up a thread with you!
