The Old Republic: A new Era (limited spaces) *OOC*

[Wargarble]

Took you long enough to notice War.

I have been checking on the story every now and then but I think the last delay was longest so the new posting kinda surprised me (guess I'm feeling a little thick at the moment, damn flu).

I'm still in the RP for all intents and purposes, but I don't see how I can salvage IGGY from Coruscant and I don't want to bring in Arlissa if there isn't a proper reason for her to be there. I'm always looking for somewhere to figure her in without breaking the story with a "just because" reason.

BTW, nice to see one more Leo.

 

[LeoHawk35]

Always.

...

Edit: Let's not throw that out there for all of Lit to read, shall we?

 

[Jedi_Khan]

Remind me...who is Arlissa again?

As for IGGY, he's a bounty hunter right? Send him to Eriadu looking for Jodo Galak. He's got perhaps the biggest bounty on his head in the galaxy. Criminal organizations and governments alike the galaxy over would love to either have his head or at the very least, some info on his operations.

IGGY is the droid who can't remember if he serves light or dark force users due to battle-damage. Last mentioned heading for the docks at Coruscant to find fleeing force-users and follow them.

Arlissa is the character who I haven't put into IC yet because I didn't want to interfere with your stuff going on at Tatooine, she is a tracker/bounty hunter.

Name: IG-116 (nickname "IGGY")

Age: exact manufacture date unknown, not too long ago

Sex: none (will be playing the personality of a male due to "masculine programming", see wiki)

Race: IG-100 MagnaGuard Droid

Race Attributes: 2 metres tall, grey and blue "skin", darker internal components.

Occupation: Mercenary/Bodyguard (former soldier)

Appearance: Draped in large, dark, baggy robes and trousers to cover his obvious design which would alarm people. Also wearing thick gloves and boots, the only obvious features apparent are his glowing red eyes and tall stature. Beneath his wrappings, Iggy has a gaping hole in the front-left plating of his torso where he was hit by blaster fire. He keeps this closed up with primitive self repair work, welding metal plates over the hole.

Weapons: Iggy's Electrostaff is stored away, as it would be an obvious sign of what he is. Instead he carries a blaster rifle in public. Iggy has extendable arms that can double in length and his limbs contain electromangnets.

Character Background:
"Following the massacre of the Separatist Council by Darth Vader, under Darth Sidious's orders, the IG-100 MagnaGuards were deactivated"

When the MagnaGuards were shut down by Darth Vader, the battle damage sustained by IG-116 forced him to remain in an active state. Lacking directive and with "his" logic core damaged to the point where he cannot tell friend from foe (making him unable to properly decide whether to kill or serve force users he finds) Iggy wanders the streets of Coruscant, seeking a new directive. Iggy finds that at most he can revert to a standby state, using less power but still aware.

He takes on mercenary missions to ensure his budget for self-maintenance and to keep his personal generator running to recharge from. These missions are the closest thing he has to identifying friend from foe as his targets are often pointed out to him or are the agressors. Iggy knows that anyone capable of repairing him will recognise his model and so remains in his damaged state until he can find a master again.

Name: Arlissa Konshi ("Arli" or "lissa" for short)

Age: 22

Sex: Female

Race: Kiffar, a species of Near-Humans (clan Konshi)

Race Attributes: Almost identical to Humans except for their Clan face tatoos, some display an ability called Psychometry

About one in a hundred Kiffar had the ability to read the memories of inanimate objects—including formerly animate objects like corpses—by touch, an ability known as psychometry. It was not, however, normal for a Kiffar to be able to read the living. The power could taint the user if the object had been used to execute dark side related actions, like murder. Use of the dark side enabled possessors of the power to use it on living beings, ripping memories from their brains.

Occupation: Tracker/Bounty Hunter

Appearance: 5'6", dark skin, blue eyes, shoulder length very dark brown hair in thin dreadlocks. Always dressed for bad weather in an All-Temperature Cloak, high Magno-Glip boots, thick trousers and an armourweave vest over a Bodyglove suit as well as a thick scarf to cover the mouth and an pair of Flash Goggles. Arli also carries several Illuninescence woven necklace bands under her clothes which can be used as small glowing light sources when held in the hand. Wears a bandolier beneath her cloak to carry her grenades in as well as a reel of Synthrope. Arli keeps ammunition in her belt. She also wears Advanced Stabilizer Gloves to assist with the use of her rifle.

Weapons: DC-15x Sniper Rifle, J1 "Happy Surprise" palm blaster, a stolen Force Pike (aka Stun Pole), Remote Detonators and non-lethal Grenades. Other equipment includes a set of TD 1.4 Electrobinoculars, a Chronometer armband and two twenty metre reels of synthrope.

Character Background: One of the dwindling number of Kiffar, Arli recognised from an early age that she couldn't afford to put her life in the hands of the Jedi order as so many others had and so avoided testing for force sensitivity. The order did not permit strong emotional bonds and the clans were dying out, they needed children.

"Since the Empirical annexation of the Kiffars' homeworlds, 3,500 standard years before the rise of Darth Vader, this race has since diminished in numbers greatly, along with the clan heads and other instigators of the clan-feuds".

The kiffar were spread thin around known space by this point Arli decided the best way to find a suitable partner would be to travel as widely as possible, and so took on a profession using her species natural talents to pursue and sometimes capture or kill people or objects that people values. Occasionally she would even get hired by local law enforcement groups to help track escaped outlaws.

"Members of this clan distinguished themselves by a blue chevron tattoo on each of their cheeks". There was no visual example of the clan tatoo so I made one up.

 

[Jedi_Khan]

I've just had my ass kicked by a major school project, and I'm in the midst of finals, so I'm probably going to take a bit longer on putting up a post. However, don't worry, this story will continue.

 

[DeathsKnight]

Not too worry. I'm just very complacent at the moment, so I can yawn and stretch to my heart's content now

 

[Jedi_Khan]

Told ya that this thread wouldn't die easily.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

 

[Wargarble]

Stay tuned for the sequel, The X-Mas Strikes Back!

Happy holidays.
