I've made my character and he's ready to go

 

[Alek]

lol have to be ready:cool:

 

[Rev]

Im looking at making a smuggler. Id probably be interested in some sort of involvement.

Espionage, smuggling, swindling. All that fun stuff.

 

[Alek]

I was wondering if this faction is going to have a uniform that's people recognize the faction by? That would be crazy cool!

Hey my character (Jack baker) is ready and I was wondering if any ships need a captain if there is I'm I'm your guy!

 

[Alek]

Yeah, I'm happy to accept anyone who'll have a character good to go by the time it starts, Zaypats name is on there since we talk about it on Skype, and there's a few more people I'll add once I get around to revising. Generally though I don't expect to have as large a group as people who express interest. Just the way it usually goes between the wait for the new TL, and finding other things to do instead. And of those it's always up in the air as to who sticks around, just like with main factions, so in terms of staying members I really expect to be on the smaller side. If it ends up not being that case that'd be awesome, just something experience in trying these things has taught me is that to never just assume you're going to get super massive amounts of people and activity. So if you want to be in at the start feel to free to drop a name and I'll you add when I fix it all up.

Hey I have my new smugglar character ready to join orca for the new TL

No, and please stop posting multiple times in a row. I'm super slow on stuff so it could be a couple of weeks before I get everything up and ready to go.

Ok sorry

So, your faction has sparked my interest and I'd like to hop on board.

I have an indie scoundrel I'm working on who might fit in. There might be a bit of work getting her to conform to somebody's else's rules, but it's all good RP.

Also I've never RPed this kind of character before so I have no idea what I'm doing :p

 

[Beta12]

@Marf

The great thing about this faction is that it doesn't have a lot of rules at all in that regard. It is sort of like a loose association of smugglers that watch each others backs. Pretty much the only rules are don't sell out the ORCA or any of its members and don't work with anyone on the blacklist (or don't get caught doing it). Anything after that is pretty much fair game and open to more independent players like @Galavant was saying I think earlier in the thread.

Your Twi'lek looks really interesting and I would love to have my smuggler Dyson run into her if she does end up smuggling about!

@Alek

The list I made is just sort of a collection of all of the people showing interest and all of the characters being made for the organization, since I thought I'd be helpful. Since Gallie is the Faction Leader it will be up to him to decide how the roster is gonna be structured and who will all be on it right away. I wouldn't sweat it though, everything is still in the planning stage for most factions until the new timeline starts.

EDIT: Also if you have extra things to say, my advice would to be just think on it and then combine it all into one post. If you think of something else you want to say after a post then just edit it in at the bottom like I am doing right now, it free's up the clutter in threads!

 

[Galavant]

Oh yeah I knew I was forgetting to post somewhere.

Ummmmmmmmmmm.

Anywho....I've had most of the revision done for a while. It's here, since the image limit prevents it from being put in one post. I've got the tech and mission stuff floating around somewhere in my inbox. Going to wait to see what generic tech Clayton has cooked up before I go too far, since I think aside from kickass starships I've already got done there really isn't much of a point in making a bunch of tech profiles with tech working differently this next TL. As for smuggling job stuff, if you have ideas feel free to shoot me a PM or skype message. I'm terrible about that kind of stuff.

As for event/story things I've got an idea for a treasure hunt mapped up. Yeah I know SWTOR has smugglers doing a treasure hunt. SUE ME, I LIKE TREASURE HUNTS. And another one for "faction expansion" or whatever since that's what all the other kids seem to be into these days.

@TAC has also asked for his senator dood to be blacklist by us, which will hopefully be a cool story to get into as well.

Also I guess I'll start a group chat on skype for fun and gif fights now that we're theoretically close to the nutimeline. If anyone wants in feel free to let me know, skype name is: chalupajim-bob

 

[Shalken]

This is a really cool idea, extremely well put together too. Although I don't have a character in mind that would join ORCA, I do have one in mind that could be connected with the company, and maybe even serve as a fence of sorts, if that's okay.

Thanks! I'd totally be fine with that, lemme know when the character is up, and we can hash something out.

Also just to note I changed the name to just the Smuggler's Association. After a talking with a few people about it, a big acronym name kinda seemed kitschy and didn't really fit with the theme of it being a looser organization.

Most of the character has been written out - it's Magnus, the link to his bio is in my signature. I still have to write up his history, as well as his attributes, but I plan for him to co-operate a fuel company that also deals in the black market/smuggling sector.

Ahh sweet, I'll be sure to hit you up for a thread when the timeline kicks off!

 

[Halcyon]

@Galavant I have a character for DoTR that I want to have an open future, deciding it according to IC developments. He is Force sensitive and a Jedi Academy washout, but no, he won't save the galaxy anytime soon! XP
I plan on starting him out as smuggler because hey, a guy needs to make a living and he does have a small freighter!

Maybe my idea was too bold, but I wasn't planning on joining a faction from the start. ORCA seems the perfect mix of commitment and freedom IC that I was looking for; and let's be real, OOC, as a new guy to the site I don't imagine a lot of people signing up to RP with an indie PC.

So I'm up for it, if you're up for it. Sign me up!

Totally, and if you ever need someone to thread with your indie feel free to PM me!

I'll probably take you up on that offer once DoTR launches!

Anyway, the last segment of my character's Bio - where I'll add the details of how he actually started his smuggling "career" - is still blank; do I need to put a specific event in there to have him join ORCA, or should I do it IC once DoTR starts? He flees from Coruscant, where he lived for almost a decade as a Padawan, before becoming a smuggler. He's familiar with the Corellian Run and the Perlemian Trade Route between the Coruscant connection to Corellia and Arkania, respectively.

Any thoughts, or should I just make something up?

My character Dyson will also be in the Smugglers Association. Age wise he will probably end up being the runt of the litter, around 20, having been booted off his home planet months back by his senator mother. He picked up small time smuggling soon after, generally surrounding the movement of spice from the inner rim to the core worlds. He also happens to be force sensitive, but that is a completely unknown factor to him that may or may not be discovered further on in his story arc.

If your guy happens to be on Corellia at the start of the timeline, my character Dyson will be there as well. His first few threads will be on Corellia, as he meets the PC's that will basically become his crew, and a few people from his past including the circus star Diva Tumi. If you want to join up in character there is a strong possibility your guy could run into Dyson in some dive-out bar. We could do a thread with them meeting, and maybe Dyson just "getting a feeling" about your guy, which he uses as justification to vaguely point you out to a captain for approval after he gets to know him a little more.

 

[Halcyon]

@Beta12 I followed the link on your sig, but the Dyson I found was from Legacies; or am I mistaken? Can you give me a link to your PC workshop?

At the start of the new timeline, or close to it, my character will actually be avoiding Corellia. The first thing I see him do is probably travel from Coruscant to Arkania to repair and secure an old ship of his. But in order to do that he'll need credits/resources and a transport. If said commodities are provided by an ORCA associate, then he'll definitely join after repairing the Eidolon (his own ship).

Can Dyson by any chance be involved in, let's say, rare animal species trafficking from Arkania to Corellia? If so, I might just have a way...
