Corsair

Star Wars - Jedi Exile

Arlana spun on her heel, raising her lightsaber into a high, two-handed guard, the tip of her saber pointed at the...Duros' face. A fellow Jedi Knight, she thought he looked familiar, but she couldn't place the name. She stood there for a long moment, her eyes wide with terror and rage, then she marshaled her emotions, let out a breath, and closed down her saber. "There's not time to talk, we have to get out of here. The Grand Army is trying to wipe us out."

The sentence hung in the air and her mind for a moment, and for the first time she really thought about it, the standard questions whirling through her mind - who had arranged this? How? Why? Nothing seemed to make very much sense, but she didn't have time to sit here and ponder it. The moment of contemplation and the appearance of the other Jedi had jostled her out of her blind flight.

"If we're going to escape we need a plan. The hangars are bound to be watched, probably filled with soldiers." She directed the other Jedi to move with her, trying to fall back on her war experience to guide her. She had slowed from her sprint to a steady walk, saber clutched but unactivated in her hand, stretching out with her senses to try and find the enemy and other Jedi before they would sense them.

Well, at least Jia won't feel bad when she booby traps his house.

Star Wars: Shattered Galaxy

A minimum of four players, plus me. Max no more than ten.

Star Wars: Shattered Galaxy

Cool. Alright, you're in.

Star Wars: Shattered Galaxy

Very nice, Laufey. One thing, either way it's good, does she absorb blaster bolts or knock them aside?

Star Wars: Shattered Galaxy

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't see this character fitting into the group, Zarkun. He's extremely overpowered and half of his abilities are Dark Side-aligned.

Arcanum: A Fantasy Adventure in an Industrial Age

The taste of blood and dirt and the smell of burning wood and rubber awaken you from your slumber. You're sore, but a quick check shows that your injuries are minor, little more than bruises. All around you is wreck, ruin, and corpses, shattered wood and twisted metal from a zeppelin crash, sprayed all around this vale. Here and there are dead bodies, men and women in their finest clothing impaled and dismembered by shrapnel, or scorched to a crisp by flames. How you escaped harm is anyone's guess.

Who the hell are you, anyway? Try as you might it just won't come to you, not even a name. There's a weight in your pocket, and you withdraw it. A large, folded sheet of paper covered in writing - near the top is a name. A familiar name, it feels like yours.

There are a handful of others stirring around you, men and women of various races, and they look to be in the same shape as you...

Racial Data

Regarding species of this world, for reference on your photograph:

Humans average between 5'4 and 6'0 in height, and have a more or less average build.

Elves towards greater height, averaging between 6'0 and 6'6 in height, with long limbs, fingers, narrow, pointed ears, and a generally lanky build. They are among the more primitive peoples, favoring magic over technology, and have remarkable longevity. They are also known for being beautiful, insufferable, wise, and arrogant. Ask three people about Elves and you'll get four opinions, more if one is an Elf.

Dwarves tend between 4'6 and 5'0 in height, with broad shoulders and chests, in many ways looking like large, burly humans that have been severely reduced in height. The males of the species wear facial hair roughly 70% of the time. While known for constructing great mountain fortresses and mines there are a number of aboveground Dwarven settlements, resulting in something of a cultural rift between the Plains (or City) Dwarves and the Mountain Dwarves.

Gnomes are cousins of the Dwarves, of comparable height but with a less burly build, and without the cultural disposition towards facial hair. They are common within Human lands, and are believed to be a evolutionary offshoot of the Dwarves.

Orcs are massive, heavyset beings. When standing upright they are of a comparable height to Elves most of them are afflicted with spinal trouble that results in them having a hunched back or protruding head that reduces their apparent height. They have a somewhat porcine appearance, with an upturned snout and massive canines that often make fully closing their mouths impossible. Orcs are a race that is treated with disdain, as is their half-breed offspring. Many Orc tribes are violently hostile to Humanity owing to historical tragedies, some of which are still perpetuated, but in certain culturally advanced cities Orcs can be found employed as chimney sweeps and factory laborers, along with other menial, physical jobs.

All of these species are capable of creating viable, healthy offspring with each other - most common half-breeds are Dwarf/Gnome, Orc/Human, Orc/Elf, and Elf/Human. All species have significant variation in skin color and facial features due to racial differences.

The World

As your characters are amnesiac this is strictly out of character information. A foreword: While this is borrowing story and setting elements from the game Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura it is not set within that world, primarily so I can avoid stepping on elements of that setting. That said:

While world technology and culture are heavily anachronistic it is primarily a Victorian-esque setting, albeit one with zeppelins and very early heavier-than-air aircraft, The Firearm is rapidly becoming the dominant weapon of war with the recent invention of the revolver, the breech-loading rifle, and the cartridge. Nations that cling to the old ways are rapidly being crushed underfoot. However the Sword and its attendant weapons have not seen the extinction they did in our own world due to the existence of Magic.

Magic is a force that bends and twists the laws of nature. Sometimes this Magic is created by an individual or a creature, other times it is a natural part of the landscape. In all cases it interferes with the natural laws, causing unpredictable effects. Compasses will stop reliably pointing north, electrical circuits will behave erratically, current flowing in random directions at random intervals, and even friction will be altered, a slope that was previously insufficiently steep to allow something to roll freely now more than able, albeit in fits and starts. Advanced technology has a similar effect on Magic and Magical creatures, with Mages known to become violently ill in the presence of powerful combustion or steam engines, and magic to fizzle and fail.

That's going to be an interesting state of affairs in character. Jia is going to be such great friends with everyone.

Star Wars: Shattered Galaxy

Force Lightning is an extremely advanced technique, especially for someone who isn't Dark Side oriented. Please describe Force Fire and Phase Walking, as they aren't canonical Force abilities. Character's backstory makes no mention of his incredible facility for language, it seems very out of place and random that he would learn a niche language like the Sand People tongue. You say things in his personality that aren't borne out by the rest of the character, he doesn't come off as caring or wise beyond his years when you go on to say he's perfectly okay with watching people die or slaughtering guards of people who oppose him.

Hostile diplomats would quickly back down when their guards were reduced to bodies without the warning they received from other Force using factions.

That sounds like murder to me, and someone who is known to murder people at peace summits wouldn't be invited to a peace summit.

Avatar: Post-Korra?

I'd be up for an Avatar RP, but why would the Spirits go to war with Humanity over technology? They have no trouble living in Republic City.
