OOC: Star Wars - Episode VIII: The New Threat

i'm in!!!!!!!!!

Work has just been trying to kill me, & a few dozen other things have been happening too. (formatted, moving in less than a month, etc)

I plan on posting a long post this weekend if I finish getting it typed up, & when I see Arc next i'll pester her about posting too
 
I'm still in.

I'm even writing a book now, no, not Star Wars.

He's a snipit
Rain hit the roof like millions of little hammers banging tin. The sky lit up like it was day every few seconds, as a bolt of lightning stroked across the evening sky, followed by a roar of thunder that sounded as if God was mad.

The house was quiet, all were asleep, all but Victor. He was awake, sitting at his desk looking through some letters. Bills, he had reserved a letter in the mail, a bill for $400, from a local car mechanic. Apparently, he was being hit with the repair bill for a woman’s car.

Victor through the letter across the room as he stood up “400 damn dollars for repairs!” He thought to himself. The anger in his voice was noticeable even though it was only a thought.
Four days ago Victor was in an accident. A woman rear-ended him, when he braked to stop at a give way sign. The woman had been to close to him, tail gating. She was in the wrong, but insisted that Victor was at fault.

Victor slammed his fist on the desk, causing everything to slightly jump with the impact. “I’ll be damned if I pay that! After all, she was the one in the wrong.” He was a well-respected businessman in the community, and well not rich, but he wasn’t at a last for money.

Victor had started up his own computer about 4 years ago. He was building computers, ordering hardware and software, and even did repairs. It hadn’t grown any bigger from just a home business. Victor was happy with that, and even though he dreams of owning a big successful company, he wasn’t in a hurry to make it happen. People would come to him for cheap, good and great deals. That had owned him more then he could imagine.

Victor was just starting to walk towards the bathroom, when what sounded like a very loud boom of thunder hit. “That sounded close.” Victor thought as he continued towards the bathroom. Then just as he was about to open the door, a serous of loud booms sounded. “That doesn’t sound like thunder to me.” Victor said out loud as he turned and walked towards the window.

Victor’s mouth dropped open and his eyes grew wide with shock when he looked out of the window. He saw that that across the city, towards the beach that there were fires all around and what looked like gunfire! “What in the world?” He thought, as he gazed at the view in front of him. There was a sound softly in the background, hard to hear over the run and thunder; it was artillery shoots coming from far away.

It looked as like the city was being invaded, and by whom? One thing for sure is that who ever the attacker is, they don’t care much for killing innocent civilians. “They wouldn’t use Jets to bomb us, not with this storm above us. But why attack this city, and why shoot? Most of the nation military forces are higher up north. There is basically no resistance here.” Victor wondered to himself.

Victor jumped in shock as an artillery shell hit the building across the street. Blowing a large hole into its side, the impact from the hit shattering just about all the windows. The noise from the explosion had left Victor’s ears ringing. Victor looked on in amazement, as the building was a blaze with flames as it barely could stand from the impact. The screams from the residents of the building was horrifying, though barreling audible due to the war zone at the beach.

Who was attacking? Victor turned to walk to his TV, to switch it on. He thought that maybe something on it about was happening. Just as his hand had reached the power button, there was another explosion witch knocked out. “Great, no power, now what the hell do I do?” Victor said out loud as he turned to look over his shoulder at the horror out his window.

That's a little bit, due to change if I need to.

ok guys, I'm being slow posting but this time I have some GOOD excuses
1) my marrage just finished falling apart, so I have been a bit depressed & not in a writing mood
2) I'm moving next weekend, so I got a LOT of stuff to do
3) Work has been trying to kill me (they won't succeed because it's too much paperwork, damn them!)

Anyway, IN the next few days I plan to post the Bloodhawk landing & me leaving. I have a few Ideas to move the plot (or at least my part) along, & part of it may be adding a young jedi (or a certain Wookie with a glow-stick) to my crrew for a quick jaunt to Korriban, then Xiost. (Xiost is a made-up world, so thats why you went "huh?) when I mentioned it.
Anyway, I'm gonna get off my ass & start writing again soon.
as soon as I tranquilize the munchkin
(now where did I leave that dart-gun)
 
Plus his writing partner in crime, keep falling asleep on him ... LOL
 
New NPCs...

Name: "Captain" Honisse Nurell
Race: Human

Middle-aged and accomplished in his life's work, the Captain has created a small empire of his own. His crew range in race and ability as much as one could possible expect. His "immediate family" consist of Rodians, Weeguays...even a Wookie, and thier talents include everything from smugglers and assassins to those trained in military leadership and mining. Notably to the Jedi who went to encounter him, some of his agents are even skilled in piracy. His forces have become large, and notable, though he keeps thier position and existence on the low-down, thinking it
better safe than sorry when it comes to facing off with the other major powers of the Galaxy. A boy-scout at heart, the Captain is prepared for almost anything, save for the Jedi that suddenly arrive in his midst. His intentions are not truly known, but the piracy of shipments from worlds of the New Republic does not create trust for the man and his allies.


Name: Gimora
Race:Rodian

Older and male, this Rodian has been "in service" to the Captain for years now, since his operation was a minor one hidden in the caves of Tillis. He's a trusted friend of several of the crew, including the Captain himself, and is usually found on the Captain's bridge, Being the Head of the Captain's personal guard.



Name: Neega Nuim
Race: Sullustan

The Captain's "trade advisor," Nuim is shrewd, yet silent in most cases. Most directly behind the pirated vessels, he is especially quiet when the Jedi arrive.


Name: Pleebo
Race: Ugnaught

Head of the Captain's "resources commitee", Pleebo is responsible for the production of certain materials found on worlds that the Captain has alread 'befriended." Mainly, mining, which the Ugnaughts have been known to be effective at.

Name: Yelbacca
Race: Wookie

Her place among the Captain's men and crew is uncertain, but the presence of a Wookie, a normally loyal and honorable race, is quite a surprise to the Jedi who encounter him.


Sorry to throw all this at you guys at once, but, it it becoming necessary for my upcoming posts with Marius and Raven. Get used to the Captain, he'll be around for a while, I'm pretty sure.;)
