PbP Recruitment: The High Republic - Artifacts Unbound

[Xcapobl 472]

I would envision Savah Kihotay as a Dantooine native who got shipped off to the big academy on Coruscant (hence also her Dantooine Kyber crystal rather than an Ilum one or any other). There she would have had ample time to meet and greet any one with a form of Jedi background?

Basically, with Sinsereagape's approval on the rest of character creation, I only need to take care of a little more equipment choices and final touches. Then I'm ready to roll.

Let's go with cousins then. Vigdis was shipped off to the Jedi as an infant. What about Astrid?

As an infant?! Hmm... okay, maybe Astrid was older, say 7 or so at the time, and made the trip to the Jedi with you? Sent as an escort, of sorts, and as an excuse to ship her off?

Sounds good to me!  

 

Regarding the infant business ...

IIRC, the Legends version of OWK's younger years mentions a creche at the Coruscant Temple where children down to infant age(s) lived and were introduced to the Jedi equivalent of nursery games, all as part of their training. When they were old enough, they graduated from crecheling status to youngling, then later to Initiate (when they got their first crystal), then finally to Padawan (human ages 9 - 13 or alien equivalent) if a master chose them/they chose a master (sort of a mutual agreement on the match). Senior Padawan status was achieved sometime around age 17 - 20. Knight status could be achieved earlier than age 25 if the circumstances were right. If they weren't chosen to be a padawan, then they either went to one of the Service Corps or were returned to their family/home world.

 

E.T.A.: Some/possibly all of this is taken (second-hand) from the Jedi Apprentice series, which focuses on young OWK and QGJ.

It's all a bit weird really...

I like the take in the Jedi Academy books:

question does the 35 force power cost have to come from species starting xp?

I certainly didn't use starting XP on Force powers, only the later "pre-earned" XP.

this is the sheet so far,   Credits wise I’ll probably go for the arc gun, a cybernetic eye and some form of vodka, and a lighter  (Thorkan wears a type of Nabooian island shirt and driving gloves, with,  a necklace  with a single Hutt Family symbol) so help with costs would be appreciated

@Sincereagape ; Mine is about done, credits and final touched and all.

@Edgehawk and @Bellona ; Savah was at the Coruscant academy. Might as wel have met your characters in good standing, though subsequently they were all doing their own thing for a time (off with their master, sent exploring, etc.), only to meet up again when we start this campaign.

@April ; My character might well like your character's "Leap before looking" attitude. 😉

If you were at the academy you might know about the Hutt who is overly protective over Jedi, who basically broke his reputation to protect a few on the rim.

Looks interesting!  

I assume that it's still a work in progress (otherwise you might want to check the numbers for the Wounds and Strain Thresholds).

It'll be good to have a pilot ...

Hi everyone,

Wanted to provide a little update.  

Our weekend was rough to say the least (More ways then 1).  Biggest factor was our son came down with a fever yesterday late morning.  Fever and difficulty breathing.  No cough yet.  He doesn't quality for COVID-19 Testing in our area (Yet is the word again).  But my wife and I are taking precautions.  My work is considered essential (As of now), so I'll continue to be out and about.

That being said, OOC thread is up, subject to updates throughout the week.  And I'm going to slowly begin approving characters this week.  Going to set a deadline for this Thursday or Friday for all characters to be completed and submitted. (Subject to change on how this week goes, but it will be slower for us).  If characters are in and approved beforehand, I'll try and get an IC post either up by this weekend or Thursday/Friday.

 

Cheers and stay safe!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to everyone who's sick!

it is a wip ill check those two in the evening.

[MrTInce 435]

I will play as Fog Dyme, the mystic. Think we'll need his healing touch 😈

[Sincereagape 364]

General thoughts on characters so far...

Three characters have heal/harm.  Wanted to double check if all three players are okay with the overlap in power.

@Edgehawk and @Xcapobl - Both Astrid and Savah have knowledge lore focus - although there is enough difference to performed a skilled assist check.  Wanted to double check if you two are okay with the overlap.  

 

Thanks.  

 

 

[Sincereagape 364]

Made some updates to the OOC thread.  To be continued...

[P-47 Thunderbolt 4,142]

In the first post, you listed Bellona's character as Astrid Andasca instead of Vigdis Andasca.

I would like to keep that Heal/Harm in there. I will drop Lore by a rank though. Makes for 15 XP to spend elsewhere! 😁

I'm only planning on having the basic Heal power, just in case Vigdis gets stuck somewhere without either stimpacks or a real Healer (or Doctor). Vigdis will happily leave the expert healing to the expert(s).

(With Intellect 3, just the basic Heal power used 5 times will heal the same amount over 24 hours as 5 stimpacks would.)

Some updates https://swsheets.com/c/kyzrbwemu-thorkan

few issues my side. The county has gone into lockdown, a few days before everybody expected. I’m trying to sort out a few things such as medication, Food n such. Hopefully things should settle for a day or so.

Here're the stats for the ACP Array Gun (I think that's what you meant?): Ranged (Heavy); Dam 6; Crit 3; Short; Blast 5, Stun setting. 3 Encumbrance, 3 HP, 890 credits with a rarity of 6.
The cybernetic eye replacement is 1,000 (unless GM says its free) and provides no bonus. The cybernetic eyes provide +1 Perception and Vigilance and cost 7,500.
