Star Wars: Shattered Galaxy Roleplay

Roak Vano Resol

Roak only cut down one pirate that was not quick enough to get out of his way while the others were overwhelmed by the growing mob behind him. Rage like this in a mob couldn’t last forever and it was a miracle they got them to keep going at this point. Still, with the level of confidence that these pirates took the ship he knew they had to have something other than small arms that would make them think they had even the slightest bit of hope to pull this job off.

Rounding the last corner towards the bridge he was met with the reason for their confidence and immediately reminded him on why he always had to be careful no matter the enemy. An E-web, the portable heavy machine gun capable of rendering even the best soldier’s useless if they got caught in its sights. Diving to the other side of the corridor with only a limited space between him and the heavy blast doors to the bridge.

This position was bad everyone could see it. The rage of the mob now floundering into fear as half of the mob left found itself tucked behind a cover pinned down by grenades and laser fire. He didn’t have any grenades on him and his one rocket was too explosive to use in this close of an environment. Taking a moment to take in his surroundings and the others trapped in the hall with them he took notice of a few individuals.

A Tusken raider that spoke in a way that he found familiar, throwing Molotov’s toward the turret and failing. What looked to be a blind man that seemed to change the physics of another Molotov that was tossed toward him and the resulting frustration from the Tusken. the man he tossed the bottle too seemed a little strange but he couldn't tell exactly why he felt that way, the blindfold itself was even a bit odd. these were individuals he would do well to at least talk to.

He could see what the others were attempting to do so he decided to help in the only way he could at the time. Covering fire. Shifting from his cover slightly he began to lay down sustained fire with his blaster rifle first at the pirates and their barricades then at the turret itself to draw its fire. He could only hope the others capitalized on the opening he was giving them. Roak wasn’t an idiot though, once the turret turned its gaze back to him he would retreat to cover only returning to open fire when the turret was either incapacitated or distracted once more.

Turzo "Wrath" Drunoda

Turzo "Wrath" Drunoda

Name:
Turzo Drunoda

Title:
Bringer of Dawn, Wrath of the 7 suns

Portrait

Alias(es):
Wrath

Age:
32

Gender:
male

Description:
Standing at 6' with an athletic build Turzo doesn't stand out in this way to his peers and is quite average. What does make him stand out is his blond and yellow hair that drapes just past his shoulders, orange almost glowing eyes that hold strength and resolve. Then most notably, ritualistic tattoo's that span his entire body. These tattoos seem to glow with orange, red, and yellow colors, almost radiating mana from them. The symbol of the Empire of Vaim etched in the myriad of symbols across his back.

Role:
Battlemage

Specialty:
Siege Mage / crowd control

Personality:
Stoic, Arrogant, Calm, Hard headed, Formidable, Dignified. A few words that can sum up the mage. He can be a bit hard to get along with but tries his best to work well with others as he does understand the value of team work but socially he can be a bit standoffish in a way that may make others feel beneath him. His sometimes hard to work with attitude steaming from his upbringing within the nobility of the empire. However, through his shortcoming's he has a very strong sense of justice, that sense is the reason he went into self-exile and fights against the empire.

Background:

A glimpse into his past.

Turzo Drunoda (pronounced Droon-O-da) was born as the 4th child of the Drunoda house. This house was seen as nobility within the empire with the head of the house being the emperor’s Justicar. This position was the highest judge in the empire that worked directly below the Emperor in terms of chain of command. The houses primary job was to execute any and all orders and laws given by the emperor and the council of nobles and settle any legal disputes that the local courts can’t do themselves.

To say that his upbringing was rough just depends on your point of view. He didn’t have to struggle to get food or worry about money but the rigors of growing up in a noble house came with its own difficulties. Testing to be a mage was at the forefront of anything else, then came rigorous training and indoctrination that began at an early age regardless of who they were.

Once he was found out to be a mage he was almost immediately taken away to begin his training. Because of his position with his house the elders at the time wanted to perform a ritual to attempt to use natural and artificial means to increase the mana that one can use. The ritual took nearly a month to complete from training, to meditating, to eating strange herbs, having experimental drugs and technology being used on him, and being exposed to strange magic and chants. The ritual finished with tattoo’s engraved in his skin with magic and him being near constantly exposed to it for a full day. It almost killed him and left him in agony through the process.

The recovery period was several months and after the elders in charge decided to shelve the experiment for future use because of the absurd cost of materials and an unknown result. After his recover and subsequent training it was found that his ability to use higher amounts of mana were successful but unrefined and otherwise nearly uncontrollable. The best he could do at the time was point it in a general direction and hope for the best.

With the new found abilities and the completion of his training he was immediately sent to the front lines. The empire was an expansionist one and more people and resources were always needed. It was also at this time that he took a vow of justice and to uphold the founding philosophy’s of the empire and what it represented to him. He was naïve.

He witnessed the perverted cruelty first hand that was the empire and it enraged him. The needless slaughter and atrocities committed by slave and mage alike towards the people that they were supposed to be annexing or freeing from their kingdoms. They were to him citizens of the empire and to see such wrought and destruction brought him to rage. A rage he did not now he had or could control, the ritual and the mana from it was effecting his ability to remain stoic and unmoving. Yet all that power he had only brought more destruction as the siege mage let loose his furry on his fellow soldiers and mages. Overwhelming their defenses with sheer might in an inferno that raged into the night.

He left after this and turned to the only kingdom that would take him, the Nation of Belisio. They were skeptical at first and still don’t trust him entirely, why would someone join the losing side if not to simply spy on them. Their suspicions were for a good reason after all. In return for his stay and working relationship with the nation he gave up any and all information he had on the empire as well as signing off any attempt at having a private life always to be under the watchful eye of the governing body.

So now he fights for them, with them. To defeat his former homeland and more than likely some of his family. To him justice must be met with justice but right now the only way he can see himself having any hope at snapping his beloved empire out of its blood drunk crusade is to fight against it. One day he does hope to return home and return to an empire that he may change for the better for everyone.

Equipment:
Mark 5 Mirage Displacement Field: This displacement field generator is fitted around the users waist, when activated the field generates an illusionary clone by reflecting hard light. By doing this it creates a mirror image of the user 5ft from them either to the left or right of them while also cloaking their true position thus creating the mirage.

Personal Shield Generator: protects against energy weapons, fitted around the users left hip and using several small metal disks stuck around the user to support the field around the user.

3rd generation hard-light Sword: this weapon uses hard-light technology to create a sword that can cut and burn through flesh and metal alike.

Prototype Mana Dampeners: the closest thing to cybernetics he has, this dampener works to regulate his use and release of mana to a controllable level. This prevents him from losing control of his magic and his emotions.

Abilities:
It should be noted that he can only use one at a time unless his inhibitors are disabled, in which case he is unable to control his magic to an extent.

Pyrokinesis: Control and generation of flame.

Terrakinesis: Manipulation of earth.

Photokinesis: Control and generation of light.

ElectroKinesis: Control and generation of electricity.

Extra:
He took the titles he has as they hold significance to his people and one of their old religions.

Victor Astorio

The rest of the day went along in a smooth manner for the count. Taking a chunk out of his lunch break he stayed at the arena to observe the advanced fighting classes. However, he was unable to get the instructor to tell him how he pissed off that duke. Victor took the rest of his lunch time to reflect on the day so far in a secluded portion of the campus while trying to enjoy what he had left in his flask. It wasn’t until the second half of the day when he felt truly enlightened by the interesting classes that were myth and mystery: Lycanthrope and myth and mystery: the originals. These classes definitely left an impression on the young count and he found himself looking forward to it next evening.

Now that classes were over for the day he could only wonder what he was to do for the rest of the morning. He knew he still had a few hours left until the sun rose in the sky once more. At least he knew that Salem stayed out of trouble for the most part as nothing was burning down and no one came out to get him for an emergency, perhaps the rest of the morning will be just as uneventful and peaceful.

Victor stood just outside one of the buildings watching the comings and goings of the other students while he fidgeted with something in his pocket only for him to realize he had a radio. Pulling it from his jacket he could see at some point he cracked the screen slightly but otherwise it was working. At least he was familiar enough with this to know that the battery was only down by one bar out of four. Pressing the talk button on the radio and holding for a couple seconds he spoke.

“Victor to Ben, you still trying to figure out how the radio works? Over.”

The count hoped that his fellow count had forgotten he had the thing on him and he may be able to drive the man crazy if even make him jump a little. Perhaps he would get that response from Amaris they were all on the same channel or at least supposed to be, then again she could still be inside the building as he hadn’t seen her come out yet. Pushing himself off the wall Victor walked into the hustle and bustle of the fellow students, surprisingly in a good mood.

@TheMerlin I was thinking possibly a mage that is a defector from the Vaim empire never liked useing slaves in the first place and doesnt agree with the empires politics.

Grik held his fire for what seemed like an eternity. The vines were thrashing more and more and Tar was still within the blast radius of the fuel rod. He knew he couldn’t fire prematurely that would cause serious damage to Tar and the others but how much longer could they hold back the ever approaching vines.

Hearing a cacophony of noises behind him made him glance back only to see a wall of vines surging towards them. The sight of it reminded him of his encounters with the Parasite. That was a creature that he very much wished never to encounter again. It seemed the plant was trying its best to get rid of something that was stuck in its throat as it continued to thrash and lash out.

That’s when he saw it loose its grip on tar as she was pulled back up. Grik didn’t need to hear the order to fire. The moment they were out of the blast radius he squeezed off two rounds with mere seconds in between each shot to make sure they wouldn’t collide. If they found its mark at the middle and top of the bulb he was sure it would kill it. However, his comrades were still a bit close and may be hit with at least some of the heat from the explosive.

The situation was begging to deteriorate. His idea didn’t seem to work like he had hopped and it would seem that violence was the only way to solve this issue yet again. Oh well survival of the fittest as the humans say. The large predatory plant at least wasn’t puffing out any more spores but was now emitting a sweet smell.

This was a trap everyone could tell. However, it was this things way of pulling in the local fauna and eating it. This was definitely an interesting creature. The stillness of the interior bulb room with its pit of acid and vines lining the entire room was a bit curious, Grik was wondering if its vine locomotion was similar to the lekgolo or the huragok in function, perhaps maybe some type of hydraulics with its one natural muscle fiber.

He was pulled from his thoughts as the new elite team member shot a vine next to him. With a shrug the Unggoy ultra was about to draw his pistols when he noticed tar slip down toward the bulb and everyone spring into action. So instead he pulled up his Fuel rod gun as Veil called out to him. “On it, could cause a cave in.” he called out to the comm’s as he lined up a shot that aimed for the top of the large bulb with two arcing shot’s. “Ready to fire.”
