Ronin sees veiled insults everywhere. It has nothing to do with you guys. Though he has good reasons since you all keep saying that I'm too rash.
Being a Diplomat/Agitator doesn't mean you have to agitate everyone you come in contact with. :D :D

It seems that Ronin has a "balls-to-the-wall" approach to things. He WAS rather persistent with Marax, along with a serious and fatalistic tone (i.e. that Marax should do something now before it's too late.) He pushes and pushes, wanting to recruit (his Duty) and grow the Rebellion. Nothing wrong with that. Just keep in mind that brashness can also push people away, which defeats his purpose. But he rolled a heck of a Charm check with Marax. I think, in my opinion, that such a character would understand his own faults (to an extent) and see that he might have to reign himself in from time to time in order to succeed. It makes him 'complicated'. What do you think, @Matt?
"How is it that YOU have been on the wrong end?"
Might be a good opportunity to share Ronin's background or at least justify his urgency to complete "the mission" he's repeated twice. Sometimes when you recruit people telling them how bad the Empire is, you may need to explain it to them from personal experience. It might be worth a boost die here or there. ;) I have an idea in place for how to get the PC's together, regardless, but it'd be nice to have them gel together a bit more before resorting to that option. :D

“I don’t share some idealized view of the Republic that the Empire grew out of, and I don’t know if your organization will do a better job than the Empire if you should succeed in overthrowing it, but I’d rather be close by to make sure that it does.”
Thino doesn't know Vesper's organization. But, maybe he is addressing Ronin???

Lest Matt think Vesper is insulting Ronin here, she's not. She just wants to know who Marax is and why Ronin feels comfortable with him. (Our group of characters are understandably sheepish about being Rebels. If we get caught, we could potentially compromise the entire Rebel base on Hoth.)

That is fair ( the part about being sheepish that is), I’m starting to imagine ronin as being much more similar to Forest Whitaker’s character from rogue one, more nomadic and small group, even having the similar backstory of familial loss and imprisonment. But this is just the impression I’ve gotten so far, I could obviously be wrong, but this is why I’m thinking that ronin would have less need for caution.

I also find it easier to relate a character to a familiar actor's role. I often need to model a PC of mine after such a story character. ;)

I also had in mind some backgrounds of PC's for the conversation. This is an opportunity to put them to use. Some may be more mysterious and secretive than others, but that's the character playing out. I don't expect everyone to sit in a circle and tell their sob-story. Some characters are cautious, some are more risk-takers. Interesting to see it play out! :)

I based the character of Thino on a short story I wrote a while ago about a do-gooder bounty hunter, so it was really easy to find his voice.

I'm having a hard time not seeing Vesper as Rosario Dawson's Claire from all the Netflix Marvel shows. But that's not so bad.

Hey Matt don’t know why things are so quiet here, I think the players are seeking clarification because anyone would want to know what someone means by the mission if all they are doing is being non-descript.

If you want I can have Thino give the further description since ronin prefers to be brief

It sounds like Matt's not sure what the mission is! :) DS will hopefully chime in, but if Thino knows the mission, that could work, too.

well the mission for you guys is to gather supplies without being detected, i suppose the mission that Thino and ronin was to recruit support for their specific rebel faction, since the way that deep explained it to me was that ronin might not even be aware of the unification of the disparate rebel factions into the alliance immediately preceding the destruction of the death star.

alternatively ronin could be talking generally about the mission to bring down the empire, which is what i interpreted him to be saying from reading it, if we could get some clarification from matt as to which was his intention, or i could have thino interject something to speed things along?

What would be better recruitment than to unite (possibly) two disparate segments of the rebel effort? You may receive a medal! ;). Anyways, I sent that as part of Recruitment. i.e. grow the Rebellion, unite, add to the numbers, etc.... Perhaps a bit broader than 1-on-1 recruitment.

Perhaps Ronin is somewhat disagreeable at times alike a certain Han Solo character, eh?

Sorry to hear about that. I appreciate your efforts to stay in touch. Looks like several people have some things going on. We'll manage and hit full stride in a few days. :)
