Background
Background:
Oona is the daughter of a minor noble house whose power collapsed with the Old Republic. She was born only a few short years before, and so was just a child when Senator Palpatine seized power.

Born with a silver spoon, Oona was used to the finer things in life before being recruited into the Rebellion, where she had to adjust to the harsh conditions in the field. She quickly established herself as a proficient agent, disruptor and recruiter and is dispatched to all corners of the Galaxy, stirring resentment against imperial rule and support for the Alliance.

Oona’s aristocratic accent and eloquent turn of phrase mark her privileged upbringing but she possesses an air of world-weariness that may find traction with those from any walk of life. Though only in her mid-twenties, she has witnessed first-hand the atrocities the Empire is willing to commit and shed her fair share of Imperial blood to stand in their way.

Motivation: [Living Memory]
Oona witnessed the decline of her family’s fortunes at the hands of an obviously corrupt Empire. It was the eventual total collapse of her family’s position with the Emperor’s dissolution of the

Senate that finally provided the impetus for Oona’s decision to join the Rebellion’s cause.
She hopes that through working closely with the Alliance on the restoration of the Republic she might return her family to its position and influence.

Duty: [Political Support]
Not only does Oona believe that it is vital to gather political support for the alliance in order to secure victory at every level of the conflict. She also sees this an opportunity to increase her own political influence within the Alliance and hopefully, beyond into the New Republic.

AWESOME!

Add in 20 Earned XP as a starting bonus.
Then copy post to Dramatis Personae (one guy who was on here had a background in Latin. Hence, a name variation from Finished Characters, or something like that.)


A few options for coming into play..
1) a captive of Commander Cooks. Currently tied up on a repulsor lift outside Echo Base about to be rescued. You fled the base but was unable to catch a transport out.
2) a survivor of the battle, kept safe by the soldiers inside a carved out chamber (the one the Rebel Soldiers came out of)
3) aboard the Red Dawn....was there the whole time....
4) Another option???

Cool character! I like the Gran, too. A small suggestion, if I may: A lot of the Agitator tree keys off of Coercion. For that reason, you might consider reassigning your stats to get a 3 in Willpower and take free ranks in Coercion if you can. If you're more interested in a kumbaya diplomat, Ambassador might fit better.

Hi Savage, thanks! I'm immediately fond of both too.

It's a great point regarding the agitator. My thinking is that primary skill in use is Deception, which fits verrry nicely with how I imagine Oona inciting action against the Empire. However, the end tiers of the tree utilise Coercion in particular but I can utilise Intimidating ranks to reduce the difficulty of those Coercion checks.

However, I think I should remove the negotiation and put in a rank on coercion to start.

@DeepSpacer - thanks for jumping on this so quickly!

Can I make use of the 20XP now?

I do love a good tie in. I think being a captive at Echo Base sounds like the simplest and possibly punchiest option?

He still has the starting 20 XP to spend, too.

YES, use the 20 XP now. I always felt it was somewhat deflating to start characters with little to no Talents or Skills. 20 is enough to start but not be too much. It helps bridge the gap between starting and existing PC's.

I am not sure we'll be in Echo Base, or if we are, how far we'll get into there. The recently decimated patrol probably picked you up as you were hiding. You missed the last transport due to a cave-in. You escaped the initial onslaught of Imperials, but got discovered afterwards.

That makes sense. You can also always supplement a low attribute with a high skill (potentially getting to YYGGG in Coercion). And Dedications await you down the road, too. :)

Exactly my thinking too! For now I've gone with a bit of a spread.

@Boutrose Saba-Norr I look forward to a beneficial working relationship

I see my entrance is immediately imminent :D
