[OOC] Star Wars: Alt History

[Reflection]

@Reflection,
Vader is only 41? Dang!

@Sirkaithethird

According to the Wiki, he was 41 at the battle of Yavin. He was dead at 46. They're pretty accurate about this stuff.

[Sirkaithethird]

@Reflection,
Neato, wasn't questioning you. Just 41? He was a pretty active man.

What I find more surprising is that Obi-Wan was only 57. The actor was 62 if I remember right.

I thought he was at minimum late late 60 or early 70s.

vader looked older mostly due to the dark side... also the character sheet will be done soon..ish

Sylus

Portrait

it should be noted that he rarely takes his armor off

Armor

Name: XJ-45287

Calls himself: Sylus Glacore

Species: Human

Age: 28

Force Sensitive: no

Skills:
Enhanced strength – due to numerous cybernetic enhancements and his power armor, Sylus is stronger and more resilient than the average human.

Combat ready – Sylus has been trained hard to be ready for a fight at a moment’s notice, although being classified as a heavy trooper, his reflexes should not be underestimated.

Heavy weapons – although he is trained with lighter small arms his true skill is heavy weapons. This is included in their use and how he cares for them with both his heavy weapons and ship mounted heavy weapons.

Bladed weaponry – trained to use a sword to great effect through his service in the empire, he makes sure that he doesn’t carry his sword just for looks.

Weapons:
Z-6 Rotary blaster cannon – Modified to be smaller and can be held with one hand, powered by his suits generator.

Shoulder Mounted light Flash Cannon – The cannon has been modified to fit on the shoulder of his suit and when not active looks like a back pack, also runs off of his suits generator.

Beskar forged saber – an old blade he took from an imperial treasury before he left the empire.

Explosives – 3x explosive charges with remote detonator – 4x smoke grenade – 4x thermal detonator.

Equipment:
Mark VI Power suit Modified – has Beskar armor plating and styled to look like old mandalorian armor, custom paint job, replaced repulsar engine for better generator, sealed for hazardous environments with a 1 hour air supply, cutting torch, visual enhancements, a map, and communication device.

Combat pack – Contains basic first aid equipment, food and water rations, repair tools, and a few survival things.

Ragged cloak – has a torn and ragged brown cloak

Bio: Sylus’s upbringings and training are not all that important all that needs to be known for now is that he is or was an imperial super commando, but if you were to ask him one never stops being a commando they just work for someone different now and then. Through his training and missions he has done, he has picked up on the Mandalorian warrior culture. This in turn gave him a sense of honor one that slowly began to grow heavy on his conscience with every mission. In time, he found himself aiding the very people he was meant to kill or capture.

It started slow, missing shots as they ran away or simply seeing them hiding somewhere and overlooking them, to giving them information on shipping manifests and alerting them to traps or raids. Of course, he knew this wouldn’t be able to continue forever, eventually someone was going to slip up. So to prepare for this eventuality Sylus built up a slush fund of sorts, comprised of artifacts, weapons, armor, credits, and influence he could use to get what he needed or get out.

Then one day it happened imperial spies caught wind of one of their own helping the rebels and sent a couple squads to capture him. But they were too late, Sylus had already been tipped off to the encroaching doom and had gotten himself stowed away with a smuggler to rebel space. He discarded his old armor, selling it to the smuggler for passage. In the days that followed after joining up with the rebellion his presence was often met with anger and distrust, he didn’t blame them. After telling the rebellion leaders all he knew he slowly gained their trust and was offered a few places he could go but one stood out to him. A job as a protector for a princess and other higher ranking people, even if his presence made it more difficult as he was being hunted he figured if the situation called for it he could stay behind and take the attention away from whomever he was protecting.

Finished-ish Vader's profile. Cut the bio somewhat short, since we all kinda know it, and I don't wanna just copy the wiki page.

Here is my CS for Han. I haven't made any major departures from Legends at this point in time:

Han Solo

Name: Han Solo

Species: Human

Age: 29

Force Sensitive: No

Skills: Solo is an accomplished pilot and an expert marksman, often choosing to shoot first, and ask questions later. He is also a decent mechanic, having made several modifications to his ship by himself, and quite capable when it comes to games of chance, such as Sabacc. He also has a habit of talking his way out of ‘impossible’ situations.

Equipment: Modified BlasTech DL-44 blaster pistol; gun belt & holster; droid caller; comlink; vibroblade

Ship: Heavily-modified YT-1300 Corellian light freighter – the Millennium Falcon

Bio: Very little is known about Solo’s past...and he likes to keep it that way. Other than being prideful of his Corellian heritage and regularly bragging about his exceptional piloting skills – he did make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, after all – the only thing he’s willing to reveal is that he’s a smuggler under the employ of Jabba the Hutt. With his Wookiee co-pilot, Chewbacca, at his side, Solo has managed to build quite a reputation for himself. He’s good at what he does; damn good, but even the best get boarded sometimes. A run-in with an Imperial patrol has left him desperate for some quick credits, but he’d never admit that it was his own recklessness that landed him in his current scrape.

@ReusableSword I just want to let you know that I have a slight moment of confusion whenever you post anything. I have that profile picture on a different website.

[ReusableSword]

@BrokenWashing Praise the sun lol

@ReusableSword

You mean Force don't you?

After he had given Zenobia the information she slipped credit chips into his pocket

@Inkwell

I don't want to sound like an arse but I didn't think Credits were worth anything on Tatooine.

@BrokenWashing

That's Republic Credits. Imperial Credits probably have more sway.

[BrokenWashing]

I like that explanation a lot actually.

[TheUnknowable]

@ReflectionI think Tatooine was an independent world in Ep 1, under Hutt control. The Empire conquered it, so Imperial credits are now worth something there.

[BrokenWashing]

@TheUnknowable Are you enforcing any kind of post order?

[Reflection]

[@TheUnkowable] Are you enforcing any kind of post order?

@BrokenWashing

I doubt it, but I'm planning to have Vader show up in my next kind of post.

[TheUnknowable]

@BrokenWashingnope. Just make sure at least one or two people post between your posts so you don't doublepost.
