Re: Party Creation
Just need to clarify Duty and Motivation. I have neither of those Clear Skies or Oath: Departed. I don't know what they are.
Here are the following Duties that you can choose from: (Outside what other additional books may have)
Spoiler:
Re: Party Creation
Ah. Clear Skies is from Forged in Battle its description is this:
"This PC recognizes thr danger that infantry units face from enemy air power. A pair of TIE fighters can turn certain victory on the ground into disaster. This PC always has a plan to take out any enemy air suport, whether through the judicious use of pirtable launchers, jammers, camouflage, concealing terrain, or even anti-air emplacments."
While Oath(Departed) is from Keeping the Peace, its description is:
"The character has lost someone, or perhaps too many someones, and carries on in that persons honor. Perhaps the dead were friends, family, or comrades-in-arms. Rrgardless of the specifics of their lives and deaths, they persist in the principle's that guide this character. Questions of what the departed would want weigh heavily on the character's mind and help to form the characters moral compass.

Start Time.
@Kal, @Trip, @Shado, we can start once backgrounds are finalized and PC's are moved to Dram Pers. I am okay with 'slight' alterations to backgrounds after the start. It's not the most important thing in the world to me. I think enough time has passed and we should move forward.

Re: Party Creation
It kind of does matter, though, whether a character is new to the Rebellion or not. I know Lanna is, because I deliberately made it so. Voe isn't a newbie Rebel, due to her being tied to Vesper. Kzar isn't either. That leaves Sarenda. And whether she's connected to Lanna and Voe or not.
Re: Party Creation
Kzar is an opportunist. He isn't new to the existence of the Rebels, but he isn't old friends with them either.
Re: Party Creation
Vesper should probably be new to the Rebellion. I mean, Vesper has Duty 0, so she kind of needs to be new. It might make sense that she traveled around with Voe for awhile before introduced to the Rebels proper, perhaps because Voe had to convince the proper channels that she was trustworthy enough to go to Echo Base.

Re: Party Creation
The attack on Ralltiir happened in ABY 0. It's now 3 ABY. Per your own backstory you'd have been a Rebel for at least 2 years, and perhaps 3.
Re: Party Creation
Correction: Vesper's been off Ralltiir for 2 years but doesn't necessarily have to have joined the Rebellion yet. I'm cool with her being in the Alliance, but I just can't figure out how to reconcile the Duty 0 (which I needed for the XP...)

Re: Party Creation
Never mind, I think there's a way to make her a 2-year Rebel while keeping Duty at 0. I've added this bit to her backstory:
To her chagrin, the Alliance has kept Vesper at arm's length: Her parents are noted Imperial loyalists, and her brother, Vigil, has become a commissioned officer in the Imperial navy. Alliance Command worries that Vesper's loyalties may be compromised should she ever get back into contact with her family. The doctor has now reached her second anniversary as a Rebel, and no amount of pickup grav-ball in a makeshift ice court can get her excited to treat the hundredth case of frostbite this week. Vesper yearns for the thrill of the field. But Dr. Torx says he's put in a good report; maybe something will happen soon.

Re: Party Creation
Very good, SavBob, I agree. Maybe now's the time where the trust has been earned.
Re: Party Creation
I guess Svae could be in a similar boat. She often does things that is outside of the parameters of the Rebellion or something.SavageBob wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2017 4:44 amNever mind, I think there's a way to make her a 2-year Rebel while keeping Duty at 0. I've added this bit to her backstory:

Also thanks for the advice on Career and stuff I just wanted to know what you guys thought about it
You're right I didn't think that all the way through. I think you're original Idea with having an NPC point you towards Voe or Sarenda would work.ShadoWarrior wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 1:41 pmThat makes little sense. Why would Voe give Lanna a lift after she kills Voe's supplier? (With Lanna's hatred of Trandoshans she wouldn't just "beat him up" and leave him still breathing.) Logically, Voe should be pissed at losing the connection and in no mood to do Lanna a favor.
And the Sarenda thing works with the imperial plans idea.
