Star Wars: A New Age (OOC /Semi-Open)

[Kentucky Fried Land]

One quick question, but do the ships in Star Wars have locks on them? I only ask because in the movies the characters just waltz in and take ships with seemingly no effort. Wanted to know as I plan on having my character stowaway.

They do have locks on them, but during loading and unloading a vessel is either A: Very Well-Guarded (Because maybe it's an Imperial ship and you have Stormtroopers about) or B: Guarded by the ground crew and crew of the vessel.

Since it's Mos Eisley, you definitely can't rely on the ground crew, so...go for stowing away, then.

Thanks. I decided to go with some Jawas trying to break in whenever Upsurge walks up.

Well, crap.

Now the traitor is going to the New Republic. Dang.

I'm going to have him break away from the Republic at whatever their next destination is. I'm still aiming for the place where TY and Jinjin are (can't remember the name off the top of my head) because I really like the idea of the Empire chasing after Upsurge. I just wanted some character interaction, and I also didn't want to join the Sith since it would make sense for Upsurge to join her, as he's trying to escape her.

EDIT: I'd also be fine with editing my post to change it to something else if you have a better idea. I don't want him joining the Republic because A. He has no reason to do so, other than protection (plus he's helped killed numerous Republic officials, so that'd be awkward) and B. I don't want to recreate Finn from Force Awakens.

It looks good to me, though why some many weapons?

The lightsabers are his own that he made while in the order the others are from his time in the Program, and he only uses one or two of them at any time, the others are kept in his ship or his room on Ossus if he is there. He keeps the Vibro weapons as a way to remind himself of what he almost became and must not fall to, among other reasons.

So the weapons are not on his person.... that changes some things. Also are you going to add something to the rp example or no. Since it is labeled TBD.

If i need to i will, but if you dont think it is needed i wont. Also why does that change a few things? There may be rare occasions he hass them all, but mostly only one or two of his 4 weapons are on him at any time.

Actually in that case accepted.

Any particular place my Noghri jedi should start?

How at Ossus at the temple on Ossus or maybe on a mission.

Man, I've noticed there's a lot of force sensitive characters. Would it be okay if I could obtain a Ysalamiri?

Even if you do that wont exactly do much besides nullifying force use in an area. Jedi or sith could still deal with whatever character has one of those, in theory anyways it depends.

Well yeah, a good ol' lightsaber or blaster will still mess me up. It's more of after having Demick witness the mind probe he wants to take precautions so that it doesn't happen to him.

Good to know I found the stick in the mud mod. And with that I've lost interest. I Withdraw my application

You can make changes to your application, you know. If I deny it, it does not mean permanent denial unless specifically stated. As for being a stick-in-the-mud mod, I dinnae know and I am only a Co-OP, so you can calm down.

'Tis alright. You can just explain your position of why you chose to have him have so many weapons and have no name (The 'Myself' part makes sense, if he had no name, but I stated already why this is strange in my opinion), and we can go on from there.

As for being an ass, there is a rule of "Respect the Mod and Co-OPs". You can, and should, follow it.

First off respecting the mods and fearing them are two different things. While I understand each rp is a mods sandbox and they are essentially god(s) to it. That doesn't mean players shouldn't push or test the mods with in reason. If calling you a stick in the mud is being an ass. by that measure i'm probably going to be banned at some point. I'm going to question things and; until i'm banned, by satans krumpled pubic hair i'mma get a satisfactory answer for said questions. as for being a co-op... ok? good for you? um.... dont really know what to say.... i'm not going to treat you any differently than i'm going to treat Nomad. and i'm not going to expect less from you. I know Nomad has the final say but i'm not interested in having him pull weight just because I know him from steam and he invited me here. if you have a problem with my char then i'mma have to deal with it. That being said I do believe we have gotten off poorly and are now rubbing each other like reaper pepper covered sand paper tengu toy (dont google it) and to be fair that is my fault. I implied a different tone than what I'm going to assume you meant to come across.

so that all being said I do apologize for my.... abrasive^{( aw yeah bringing it the full circle.)} response. My experience in rps has been very hit or miss. Many times being rejected for minor things and upon fixing them; in albeit unconventional methods. Earned the wrath and thus having every post was altered to my disadvantage.
(my favorite was how a mod altered my post to have my heart ripped out during a game of strip poker with a mummy, anthro, loli vamp, and priest. yes i know that sounds like a bad joke)

As for my stance on the weapons it's not the individual weapons that matter. It's how I'm intending on using them together if it was a single weapon or fighting style I was set on I'd have just gone with that. because of his background though most of his fighting style is near animalistic; relying on whats on hand combined with the environment to move the battle along in the most favorable way possible. Each weapon is a tool for adding an advantage to compensate for his numerous disadvantages; since my character has little if not zero range, the pole can be used as a platform to gain elevation or as a foot hold on either a wall or ceiling. learning to fight using various Weapons Laying about in a pit where the conventional rules of use don't apply. Using discarded weapons stuck in the ground to block or limit attack opportunities. making them not only valuable terrain but also weapon cashes to return to should the fight come around that way again. For examples:
putting a Kama into the wall as his backs against it to change a usually impractical and disadvantageous dodge to the floor into a chance to gain high ground via hand standing on the hilt. or hooking the hilt to one of his reels and discarding it to later use it to hook an opponents ankle.
Using the kyber (for some reason i thought it was vibranium) saber as flashy distractions either by blinding an opponent in a dark room or reflecting blaster bolts.
The tiger claw gloves facilitate the ism of always feeling the need to have a weapon on hand as well as making it so that deflecting sabers or bolt is possible in quick agility; though not with out consequence.
the poles as aforementioned to create an ability to change an angle of attack or gain height as well as adding a small mid range aspect.
the basic "can saber" as i'll affectionately call it is virtually useless on its own. combined with the reels it becomes a rope dart weapon, anchor, or punch dagger.
the toe blades for again adding another dimension of attack. making kicks and sweeps much more of a threat and contributing to trying to influence an opponents movement. A s well as the scaling and escape potential.
lastly the butterfly swords are the "i can use these as non lethal" weapons. as well as serving as his largest form of defense. they also make great kitchen knives.
Limiting the weapons would also make it so my character might as well use the force due to the decreased weight. which isnt something i'm looking to play as. If I had any interest to play a char heavy set on being able to use the force I'd have probably just made a sith and gone for a different race.

As for any aptitude problems due to the race i chose (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Miraluka ) to coin a phrase from a green midget "the force is strong in this one." both though blood and necessity.

As for the name; while he doesn't acknowledge he has one, in essence a name is something that someone else gives you. Be it your parents, friends, family, or people who raised you. He was treated more as an animal than a slave by the hutts. And I figure it fits the hutt bill that an animal raised only to fight wouldn't be given a name. It's a tool nothing more; It's totally disposable and replaceable. At the same point he is known by gumo to two different factions by the time he is introduced to this verse. Thus fulfilling the philosophy that a name is given by others. the only thing he cares to acknowledge along these lines is his deep rooted self identity. which admittedly is and will develop(ing). he has no need for a name which is only ever used by everyone else. It is a selfish and childish view of the riddle "what do you own but everyone else uses more than you" he doesn't need the affirmation form others that he exists. to acknowledge a name would be akin to accepting it as the title for his value of "Myself" on top of that the concept that myself is unique to each person. If someone says "i found this out about myself" it is contextually tied to their being. Where as a name can be shared between hundreds if not thousands of people across the world making it diluted and without weight with each addition. Think Action-Adventure game genera.

Got to thinking and anyone mind if I make an app for Nerf? I won't use her that often but I think it will be fun to bring her in.

If not it's fine.

EDIT: Also, where is Shake going from where he is now? Is he done or are there more hurdles for him to clear before he can be released back into the wild black yonder?

I believe more hurdles are next. He's still in his cell. As for Nerf, go for it man. I'd love to talk to her; she seems...interesting.

-Stuff-

Alrighty, I'll accept your apology. However, this does not influence my opinions on your character.

A: The weapons are too much. I don't care if you are using them as a single weapon; it is the weight that is an issue. There is a reason a RL soldier uses a rifle, sidearm, and melee weapon only, and not an M4, RPG-7, M16, and has a BAR on his back for good measure. If you state "Yeah but this is fake", this transfers into the SW universe as well. A Stormtrooper is armed with an E-11. An Imperial Commando is armed with a DC-17M. A Jedi has a single, or two, lightsabers. The weight and cumbersome nature of the weapons is what concerns me. The two swords, that I can see; they're in sheaths at his side. The claws would be cumbersome; you would either be forced to attach them to a belt while traveling or have them on your hands, which would easily cause issues with hand functions. The boot toe knives would exist, and the collapsable staves would either A: be really freaking heavy OR B: Would be near-useless in combat (You want a heavy tool when using a blunt object), though could be used to scale distances. The lightsaber and saber? At this point, you have too much.

B: Let's go-over something else. You are a waif, a homeless person who hitches rides and is so poor you don't have decent clothing. How in the Seven Hells do you have Mandalorian Iron claws, Mandalorian Iron reels of wire, and a jawa-sized lightsaber? I didn't notice this before, but seriously, what the heck? And boot toe knives? Never, ever, have I seen even serious bounty hunters have those, much less anyone who is in Star Wars at all!

C: One of his weaknesses is "*no formal education meaning he cannot write and has only a very". It just ends. Literally.

So. Explain, please.

By the way, The Valyria Empire, your Admiral is being talked-to.

Honestly Demick feels pretty bad for Shake. He knew Imperial Interogation could get bad but did not expect the use of Sith.

Besides he still has need for you.

I know, when I asked that question it was 2 AM I was way too tired to post. I'll get on that in a second.

KK, thanks Valyria

[The United Federation of Terrans]

Application:
Name: IC-5473 "Nerf"

Age: 24

Gender:Female

Species: Human

Appearance (picture or written description): Armor

In armor, Nerf tops an impressing six foot, towering over most unarmored human males; a fact that is misleading given that when out of armor she is only slightly shorter then the average male clone commando. As typical of commandoes, Nerf possesses an impressive muscle mass for a person of her stature, yet it is nowhere near the levels that body builders could attain'; mainly due to fact that she is often too busy fighting the Empire's enemies to worry about any standardized fitness regime.

Underneath her helmet, Nerf possesses plain brown hair that often shifts between a short buzz cut and chin length due to the rate at which it grows back. Her eyes are a shade of dark green that help stand out against the pale skin common of the normally armor bound commando's. Her pale complexion means that the light pink scar on her chin given to her by, IC-5496 in a sparring session back during training, is more prominent.

Homeworld:Kuat

Force Sensitive: No

Occupation: Imperial Commando

Rank (If applicable) : Private

Affiliation: Imperial Remnant

Background (Two paragraphs):
Similar to her future friend, IC-5496; Nerf spent her early years in an orphanage on the planet of Kuat with no knowledge as to her actual birth parents or origins. Making her a prime target for Imperial 'recruiters'; shortly thereafter the young IC-5473 was enrolled into Imperial Commando Training. In training a young IC-5473 was given the name of 'Nerf' by a training sergeant who commented on the astounding rate of hair growth the young girl was displaying; a name that earned her only a few skeptic looks instead of the harassment and scorn the boy a few bunks over received, IC-5496.

Yet, Nerf found herself drawn to the withdrawn boy and soon struck up a friendship with the sniper trainee that brought her into the boy's closed circle of friends that was Fire-Team 54-29. While not officially part of the team, Nerf was accepted by the virtue of being Shake's only companion outside the team; and she grew as close to the members of the 29 as to her own team, 54-26. With the training accident that killed the entirety of the 29, barring Shake, came Nerf's first real loss given that her team hadn't even suffered a wound during the final exercises.

While still maintaining her friendly personality around her grieving friend; Nerf began to cope by throwing herself into her training, and shortly thereafter her work as an Imperial Commando. This new drive, combined with Shake's sudden departure into the black on black world of the ISB, caused her to lose contact with her friend; with no idea of his status, Nerf continued on with Shake at the back of her mind as she served with the decorated Team 1102 based out of the Tarkin. The young demolition's expert quickly made a name for herself in the small fleet for her often excessive displays of overkill in the form of high yield explosive devices. A name that earned her both admiration and admonishment from superiors and equals alike.

Ship:N/A; Currently stationed onboard of Interdictor-Star Destroyer Tarkin under command of Admiral Sho'lan.

Equipment:
-Kartan II Armor
-DC-18M(Imperial update of the DC-17)
-SE-44C
-Heavy Demolition Kit

Skills:
-Demolition Specialization
-Imperial Commando Training
-Is adept at gauging people's feeling.

Weakness:
-Despite being a people person; Nerf prefers the brute force approach to most of her problems.
-Is often caught up in the swing in combat and loses focus of everything save the imminent threats.
-Impulsive
