Star Wars: The Bigger Picture

@AnnaBeth There's some vague mentions on ships and such from the Old Republic Era actually surviving into the Rebellion era, can't really find anything specific at the moment, but I'm fairly certain that there's probably one or two of those old birds sitting around in scrap yards or still laying where they fell on old battlefield worlds. As for other Old Republic stuff, I'm not quite sure what you mean lol. I do prefer that era, but just because some species or whatever featured in that era doesn't mean they didn't exist in the Rebellion era. Miraluka in particular were having a rough time of it from the Empire, likely reason for my pair to have left the homeworld.

Guess I should have thought this through more. I didn't realize how many people hated the new canon, and the worlds of Star Wars are extremely hard to bring together without having too many rules. We can continue, or we can brainstorm ideas for a plot before we start the RP. Honestly, I'm a little disheartened.

@AnnaBeth

A lot of people are butthurt over didney, don't pay them much mind. A lot of the EU needed a purge, and this way we can more selectively canonize things.

As for the plot, personally I prefer at least something to go on, or at the very least a more defined area of operation if the RP is plot-less. Otherwise it feels like people simply drift and keep to themselves, and I don't think encouraging them to do so is a good idea either. Regardless of whether people like the new canon or not.

I'll see about putting together my character sheets while at work tonight.

@AnnaBeth I posed a question regarding sith holocrons and Miraluka on the first page. Would also like to have an idea as to what the plot is going to be before I begin on characters.

Star Wars: The Bigger Picture

Anything against Miraluka twins formerly of the Jedi Order? One of them does have a Sith Holocron, so I suppose I should ask if there's any that are completely off the table.

Looks alright to me, though should mention that Blaine was an active werewolf in New Orleans during a time, so there might be some history between the two. Assuming Brooks is a fairly recent hunter to Salem and one who frequents the bars, he may also be familiar with Genevieve(Kind of well known for being lax :v ) and the Indo Pub which caters more to the supernatural.

Other than that, unless Lion comments otherwise I think it's probably good to go.

@Lemons We've still got the discord up and going, though it's been quiet for like, ever now. Reviving it would obviously require a new GM and co-GMs, as well as a new interest check and OOC/IC thread. So basically, would have to literally restart rather than just keep going where we stopped. Also, might even need a new discord since the first one is still run by HopelessSwan who is still MIA lol.

@Syn Without reading the background(holyshit that background section though) I can only really comment on the part about Desmond and the Compel. I think we discussed a bit about that in the GM PM regarding genetic immunity and how we felt it more down to mental willpower, though unsure if that was communicated back to you. Overall it's a pretty hefty CS and I like what I was able to read through. It's nice to see a vampire who's not all refinement and posh, one who skirts the line that separates man from monster. Interested to see him in action personally.

Other than that, I saw a part in there where you mention Ambrosia under the limitations that should probably say Desmond :v

@Queentze Looks good to me, so unless Lion has something to say about it I think you're in the clear to add him to the characters tab.

@Monacho Awesome! Ihinka and I are getting ready to post up our collab we've been working on, so it's up to you if you want to wait for that or go ahead and post.

From her vantage point high in one of the many trees overlooking the ruins, Absolution watched the Republic retreat through the scope of her rifle. It seemed that as much as they didn't want the cult to continue their operations on this world, they weren't quite willing to die for it. She wasn't sure if that weakness was particular to the Republic or organics as a whole. Bracing the long rifle along the branch she was also resting on, she drew a bead on yet another officer leading their landing forces. With a trigger pull she marked the eighth kill on this operation, engaging stealth as she made her way down the tree. A few cursory blaster bolts found the upper boughs, setting it alight behind her. Her presence had been noticed by some of the keener eyes among the enemy's forces, one sharpshooter in particular shifting from their coverage of the ruins to try and end the threat she posed.

A threat that was no longer in play, she thought, moving through the brush and towards the ruins where she would see about scavenging the fallen of the battle. More than a few troopers lay dead on the outskirts, her metal feet finding the stone surface between them and stopping at each as she perused their belongings. Blaster rifle clips were plentiful, but she had enough of those back on her ship, choosing only the ones that were full. The rifles themselves were of little concern, finding few that caught her eye. It was a shame that the sith and dark jedi of the cult had such a love for disabling the weapons of the enemy she thought, crouching over a commando with their chest a scorched ruin and their rifle in two pieces to either side of the body. At least the helmet was in good condition, the seals opening with a press of her fingers against the chin-release.

She turned it over in her hands briefly, wiping away the blood that flecked the respirator and unspooling a cable from her arm to link up to it. Optics were intact, that was better than expected. More to her interest, she found that she could easily connect them to her own, pulling up a brief interface that let her see through the helmet. Absolution indulged in a moment of vanity, turning it around to face herself and let out a sound of disgust as she saw the vegetation coating her chassis.

"Disgusted remark: My paint is ruined, I'll have to get a fresh coat when this job is over, and there will be pieces of green stuck in my joint for weeks!"

Without further comment she disabled the link and hooked the helmet to her waist, the magnetic clasp on the back keeping it secured firmly. Her looting continued for a few moments longer, finding a couple thermal detonators and a rather nice looking blaster pistol as well as another helmet with a red stripe down the center denoting rank. That always perplexed her about the Republic, why make it so obvious who is in command? Granted, it made her job of picking them off so much easier, but life expectancy would sky rocket in their ranks if they stopped advertising them.

Her musing would continue later, as she was once more inside the ruins and among the other mercenaries of the cult. A few gave her strange looks, it being unclear if it was because of the makeshift ghillie suit or the trophies she had collected. Perhaps it could have been that she was an assassin droid walking around freely and under her own orders? No matter, she had done her job and was looking towards the next phase of the operation. For now she was going to take advantage of the short respite while others pursued the Republic forces.

@Heat Have a post in the works, assuming everything goes well it should be up Monday morning.
