I'm coming back.

With a vengeance...

Once Morden has time to read it first cause I want to make sure my return is on point.

Ultimate One Universe: Season Two

So some people got to talking.

A lot of us love this game, we really do but due to real life things the last couple of weeks and the pace of Season 1 and what's happening now feel burnt out. Could we do a Haitus, either end season 2, or call it a loss then have a break before doing Season 3/Reboot Season 2 sometime, possibly in the New Year?

Just food for thought.

I know I love Iris as Flash, I love how Iv'e built her and her cast up and what I've planned to do for Season two. I just feel so burned out to do her right now, and I know other people feel the same. Some distance may help with that, and I know at least a couple of others feel the same.

Just an idea. Don't murder me.

Star Wars: Western Frontier

Leonne "Loony Leo" Hist

Name: Leonne Hast
Species:Human
Age:36
Appearance:
Force Sensitive: N
Skills: Jedi Hunting, highly trained sniper, expert trapper/tracker, trained soldier, and explosives expert.
Abilities: N/a
Weaknesses: Quick to anger/fragile self esteem just about anything will set him off, Knows nothing of diplomacy or using his words he couldn't convince anyone to do anything much less listen to him, downright suicidal uses himself as bait, throws himself into the thick of fighting even crazy enough to get close to jedi.
Motivation: Credits, and fame. To be one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy.
History: Leonne was born to a family who used him to pay a debt to pay back a gang boss who had turf on some of Coruscant's lower levels. Growing up into a life of crime, and murder wasn't much of a life for a young boy who started selling deathsticks, his main customer being some spiced out Twi'lek who tried to serve the boy alimony papers even though he was much too young to pay alimony. When he was old enough to hold a blaster he was used as fodder. Yet either due to luck, or some hidden skill he survived each encounter with his bosses enemies. It wasn't until his teenage years that things changed the gang had grown so large, and the boss had grown more ambitious that he didn't even notice or care about the internal strife among his own lieutenants, or the blatant favoritism some of them received.

That all changed when it turned into actual bloodshed, the boss found himself on the receiving end of a blaster pistol from one of his trusted advisers, and the gang fell into strife. It split into many factions, and subgroups which quickly began to blame one another for the bosses death. Fighting for territory soon came after and Leonne soon found himself in the thick of it once more. But even that changed, and the young gangster found love as the clone wars began. It started slow at first, he didn't even know the woman's name. But through determination, and willpower he found out her name was Lynessa. And the two began to spend more time together. Now fully invested in his relationship with Lynessa. Leonne sought a way to leave his gang behind, his boss seemingly let him leave giving him his good graces as he went.

For the first time in a long time the young man found an honest trade as a janitor for some of the higher leveled skyscrapers. Cleaning trash was no different from murdering the trash of Coruscant's lower levels. A year passed with Lynessa and the two were expected to have a child. But Leonne should of known he couldn't stay away from everything, that your past eventually finds you. His old boss had spent that entire time seething that he lost one of his trusted soldiers so he sent his gangsters after the young couple. Returning home from work one day he found his love brutalized, murdered, and he was ambushed by men he once fought with. The fight was intense, and by the skin of his teeth he managed to kill them, and go into hiding to lick his wounds. Using old contacts who didn't shun him in the underworld he managed to secure more weapons, explosives, and a safe house. From there he planned revenge against the old gang he used to fight with.

He started by killing the gangs lieutenants, and sergeants. Either by trapping them in their own homes and setting off explosives, or just assassinating them from a distance with a rifle. With his old boss growing more, and more paranoid with each passing death he eventually locked himself away trying to escape the mystery man who was murdering those closest to him in his organization. For Leonne this just set his plan into motion. Through bribery of the mans own guards, or intimidation he managed to gain entrance to his estate, and place a shaped explosive charge into the cushion of his old bosses chair. There he confronted the man who had killed his love, and his unborn child. Letting him know if that he ever stood that the charge would blast his ass straight through his head. From there he didn't care what happened, and left the man to his fate. He took the credits he managed steal, or horde. And bought passage off planet to join the bounty hunters guild. From there the man depressed, and damn near suicidal took the hardest jobs that they could throw at him. Sometimes working for the Separatists in the thick of the clone wars, The Republic, or just taking independent contracts. Whichever paid the most.

It wasn't long however before the Jedi purge began, and thus the downfall of The Republic. Contracts for any Jedi began to come in, and the man who had since earned his nickname "Loony Leonne" From the downright way he through himself into the thick of the fighting. His first Jedi was little more than a padawan not much of a fight. He managed to trick the padawan into chasing him straight into a ring of sonic mines. Using noise dampeners he was immune, the jedi wasn't so lucky, disoriented the jedi was an easy kill. A quick, and clean shot to the back of the head was his end. Even though it was just a padawan word spread that he had managed to kill a Jedi and he earned himself a little respect. Enough so that The Empire gave him his next contract. Hunt down, and kill a Jedi knight who managed to escape capture. He proved to be tougher quarry chasing the knight from planet to planet. Following old leads, and hearsay as he went. It took months before he managed to corner his quarry on some backwater planet, and managed to catch him by surprise with his rifle. The knight probably didn't even know he was hit.

After he collected his reward, he decided to travel around a bit. Not taking any contracts, and just enjoying the outer rims finest bars, and seediest establishments. It was here where one of his contacts within the guild spoke of Maldra. The Imperials were making themselves known on the planet, and the seedy planet was the perfect place for one to probably settle with a little bit of law, and order. Perhaps make an honest trade for him. So he gathered all of his credits, and went to the planet to start a new life, a new home.

Star Wars: Western Frontier

Name: Tavick Morn
Species: Human - Abefar
Age: 35
Force Sensitive: Y
Skills:

• Quick Draw - Tavick is a dab hand at using his twin DL-44 Pistols. Mid/Close Range blaster pistols make him a formidable foe.
• Tracking - Even before he learned how to track using the Force Tavick became renown for his skills as a tracker and a hunter.
• Pilot - Despite not sitting in a cockpit in a very long time, Tavick started his career as a pilot. He had considerable skill for a time, but is out of practice.
• Survival Training - Tavick can craft/cook whatever he needs to survive and if necessary live an entirely self reliant existence.

Abilities:

• Force Track - Tavick can track his prey across all kinds of terrain. Where the eyes of others fail, Tavick can use the Force to guide him.
• Hibernation Trance - Tavick can alter his bodies metabolic rates, allowing him to go for long periods of time without sustenance.
• Plant Surge - Tavick can imbue plant life with energy allowing it to grow at rapid rates. During which time he can help shape it's structure.
• Animal Friendship - Tavick can use the Force to easily connect with living creatures, bonding with beasts that often take beast masters years of work to break.

Weaknesses:

• Rusty - Tavick has spent the last fifteen years living with the Sijin, rather than typical Maldra society. This leaves him out of the loop on major galactic occurences, the state of Maldra as a whole.
• Left Knee - The Crash that brought Tavick to this world has left him with psychological trauma, as well as physical. His left knee often causes him pain and issues.

Motivation: Tavick longs to return to the Sijin, after being cast out from them with a job of his own. He doesn't know it but this relates to the Empire.
History: Tavick was born on the dirt ball that is Abafar. A planet trapped behind a chaotic comet storm. Raised a hardy life by a couple of ex-cons and smugglers Tavick had to learn the rule of the draw pretty early on in life. His parents owning a small cloud-hopper taught him how to fly early on, how to draw a gun. Life was relatively simple on their backwater world. The Separatist Crisis brought little change to Abafar, some people balked and complained more than usual however that was nothing to be concerned about. Tavick was growing into a young man during this period of time, he had moved out from home and was working in the Star Port. Typically unloading frieght, he was on the fast track to becoming harbormaster when a blast from the past came into town.

The Pirate Lord Ozai, whom his parents had ran away from on their last job came into town. Noting the resemblence between Tavick and his father he approached Tavick as a friend, decieving him into disclosing the location of his family. His parents wound out dead, Tavick on the run. Fleeing Abafar in a stolen starship, crashing into a comet and jumping into hyperspace with nothing akin to a heading. The ship crashed on Maldra a week later, deep within Sijin territory. Tavick wasn't entirely sure how he got there.

Revived by Sijin Shamans Tavick was initially a recluse, as well as an outcast. He barely ate, or drank, above the bare minimum to what he needed to survive. Despite this one of the Sijin Wayfinders saw something within him. Took Tavick hunting every day, taught him the way of the Sijin people. Over time Tavick came to accept these teachings, being trained in the ways of the Wayfinders and Beast Masters of the Sijin. Not every Sijin tribesman has the gift to access the Ashla but those that do are revered. More recently Shamans have sensed a rise in the Bogan, as well as the breaking of treaties among the Sijin and those that share the planet with them. Fearing the worst, they sent out Tavick back into the greater world to discover the source of this infection that threatens the planet. Hopefully to come about some form of peace. The very first thing to happen, was some Twi'lek approached him attempting to serve alimony papers, which was when Tavick realised this was a strange world indeed, but not unlike his original home.

@Sep Should I post my sheet in the Characters page, or wait for you and @Zarkun to get yours in there first?

@Athol

No you can throw it up. I've claimed the 0th post.

Star Wars: Western Frontier

Nomi Laatl

Name: Nomi Laatl

Species: Yapi

Age: 26

Height: 2.45 m/8 feet

Appearance

Force Sensitive: Y, Fallanassi Force Adept

Skills: Knows Basic, High Galactic, Mando'a, Shyriiwook, and Thykarann. Can speak Shyriiwook and Thykarann clearly but with a bit of an accent. Extremely good cook. Martial training from a Mandalorian warrior.

Abilities:
Yapi abilities: Keen sense of smell and hearing as well as sight, Natural weapons of bite and claws (can be imbued with Force), can eat just about anything that could feasibly provide sustenance, increased water retention ability
Force Abilities: Force Weapon, Force immersion (Fallanassi Force Invisibility), Doppelganger (Fallanassi variant), Force Jump, Force Dash, Mirror Illusion (Fallanassi specific), Sound Mimicry, Force Sight, Mind Trick
Other Abilities: Thought Shield

Weaknesses:
DNA Damage: Induced by a designer virus called CDV-312, she is now infertile, has episodes of sleep paralysis, and altered, giant body structure that causes persistent minor pain.

Motivation: She is motivated to create a haven for anyone who wishes to oppose the Empire. She wants to see the Empire suffer for their actions against her friends and family. Nomi also teaches anyone about the White Current if they are interested, focusing heavily upon its teachings about authority being an illusion and all needing to follow their desires.

History: Nomi's particular subspecies of Yapi came from extended generations on a desert planet in a neighboring sector to Maldra. Her kind were long before exiled from their home due to tribal conflict, leading to adaptations to be more efficient in the desert. This caused a more bronze fur color and better water retention ability. In addition, their stomachs developed to be able to eat just about anything with nutritional value, whether plant or animal, decaying or fresh. With these adaptations over time, the culture developed and thrived to be focused upon independent individuals helping one another rather than a tribal structure. This came about mostly due to each adult finding and overseeing their own area to hunt and forage as a means to reduce resource strain.

The Empire eventually found the planet's inhabitants, seeing them as subhuman primitives. As such, they made a designer virus, named CDV-312, to try and eradicate the population. The virus, rushed by higher ups, went into use too early and did not kill everyone. The fatality rate stayed at around 60%, thus leaving 30% of the population infertile, with all having damaged DNA, and often physically altered. Of that 40% remaining, nearly a quarter suffered a form of atavism, causing them to become nonsentient and aggressive. Nomi, 10 at the time, was part of the lucky few that kept sapient and alive. She suffered the infertility and DNA damage, causing her to suffer a form of gigantism and sleep paralysis. Her body was always in some minor pain. A passing ship stopped at their city for supplies, seeing the horrors of what had happened. Nomi lost her parents, so a couple adopted her and cared for her. This couple knew she had Force Sensitivity and let the newcomers know. A Fallanassi on the ship decided to take Nomi with her to teach their ways. Thus, Nomi spent the next 14 years off her homeworld, learning about the Fallanassi way of life.

She thrived in the group, their independent streak working very well with her natural inclinations for independent yet social action. However, by the age of 24, she could not keep a pacifist. Her distaste of the Imperials led her to leave her Fallanassi allies and seek out a planet suitable to find allies. Maldra was close enough and fit the bill. For the past two years, she has spent her time learning languages to help her find others that might hate the Imperials. She currently lives alone in a desert cave protected by permanent illusions meant to emulate the Sijin legends, causing most to not bother her. In this two year span, she has saved the life of a Mandalorian woman, earning her hefty martial training and a contact within the Mandalorian Enclave.

@Lotrix Molick

Review

1) Why did the Empire try and wipe them out? In contrary to enslave? Why were they worth creating a virus over?
2) This is still during the reign of the Imperial Senate, why were survivors allowed off planet? Why were passing ships allowed to land?
3) Why did they pick up a plague carrier?
4) How did they know she was Force Sensitive?
5) What was a Fallansi doing on the ship?
6) The Empire wiped you out, then you spent fourteen years doing things... Palpatine established the New Order five years ago.
7) The problem with causing a major force disturbance continually such as illusions, is that it draws attention.
8) I'm going to leave the Mandalorian stuff up to @Zarkun
9) Re-read the OP.

Aranea

Name: Aranea (assumed name)
Species: Harch
Age: 35

appearance

Force Sensitive: N
Skills:
Hexweilding: using her size, strength and many arms Aranea can use up to 6 modified E-5 blaster rifles simultaneously. Not that she can actually aim all of them at targets simultaneously however, so the volume is primarily for intimidation, volume of fire and cycle fire used to deal with the fact that the overheating blasters were not meant for use by biologically fighters.
Engineering: University educated and with several years of experience maintaining the cis war machine Aranea is an expert mechanic and tinkerer specialised in droids and weaponry.
Basic piloting skills: While she won’t be winning any dog fights Aranea knows the basic ins and outs of a flying spaceship and can get you from A. to B. relatively smoothly.
Abilities:
Herch Physiology: Herch are larger than most humans, standing around 1.7 M tall, have tough exoskeletons covered in thick fur, 6 arms, 6 eyes and sharp teeth, making them a species you really don't want to get in a fist fight with.
Weaknesses:
Fugitive under a false identity: Aranea’s many escapades during the clone wars and after have resulted in a warrant being out for her arrest, or rather a warrant out for the arrest of her former persona. When she fled to Maldra she left her former name and history behind, or so she had hoped. Now that the empire is here she has to hope that her bleached fur, new name, falsified papers and the empire’s xenophobia will stop anyone checking to see if she is on a list.
Heat: we are in a desert and Aranea is covered in fur. This has the expected consequences.
Motivation:
Short term, keeping her head down and avoiding imperial custody
Long Term: Escape/Overthrow the empire
History:

Born in an unremarcable brood on her species’ homeworld of Secundus Ando, Aranea was once upon a time a engineering student who became enraptured with the independence movements that erupted in many of the parts of the galaxy dissatisfied with the Republic due to the speeches of Count Dooku. As a result she partook in numerous demonstrations and clashes with republic law enforcement before the eruption of the clone wars. When the war did break out the last vestiges of the republic presence on the planet were driven out by Aranea‘s ilk, aided by the arrival of part of the CIS droid army. With her planate free and the fighting now mostly taken over Droids Aranea joined the Confederacy military to put her technical education to use, helping maintain the vast mechanical armies as they did battle through the surrounding sector, very rarely getting involved in the fighting directly.

Aranea’s greatest contribution to the cause was not in the clone wars themselves however, but in the subsequent Noolian Crisis that took place 18 BBY. The fall of the Separatist Alliance and the remote deactivation of their droid armies did little to dissuade many from continuing the fight for independence as many of the original rebels again took up arms. Aranea, along with many other Harch joined with Aqualish forces to adopt a guerrilla strategy in the southern regions of the Slice they called home. They began by raiding Imperial supply chains and medical centers to acquire supplies that could not be salvaged from the now mostly defunct droid army. Attempts were made to reactivate droids where possible, particularly the more dangerous units like Droidekas, but the expendable nature of most of the CIS army made this an inefficient time investment in most cases so most of the fighting was done by flesh and blood rebels. After more funding and arms came into their hands they began to take territory, capturing the worlds of Nooli and Galboron, among others, and even began to push into the outskirts of Bothan Space. During this conflict Aranea showed herself to be a ferocious fighter and her band of raiders, the razer fangs, where augmented by her personally salvaged/upgraded of CIS equipment and droids and as a result where a formidable part of the rebel's forces, performing daring raids and cunning surgical strikes that left the empire’s forces in disarray.

This all came to an end however at the Battle of Galboron however, where the Separatist forces were soundly defeated by Imperial forces lead by Captain Par Lankin. Aranea was one of the few who escaped death or capture, fleeing along with a handful of survivors on a raider vessel. Left without a cause or a home the Herch woman wandered the stars till she eventually wound up on on Maldra, a supposed haven for her rebellious kind. Here she attempted to make a new life for herself away from the Empire, putting her mechanical knowledge to use wherever she could inorder to make a living, her revolutionary spirit having been beaten out of her by the successive failures and the loss of so many comrades. But the past as a way of catching up with you or so it seems, and now that the Empire is here she fears it is only a matter of time till someone discovers who she was before she came to Maldra and she is arrested. This has left her, and those like her, with 3 long term options. Flee to the stars, disappear into the desert or die in a glorious last stand. As of this moment the Harch is currently still carefully weighing up her options as she tries to remain as unsuspicious as possible to the increasingly pervasive imperial presence.
