Dane's Star Wars Scenario

[Beatboks]

Actually just remembered, Slave was the name of the Ship's AI ( intelligence was a reasl stretch in that once's disciption) the ship was called Scorpio.

blakes7.wikia.com/wiki/Scorpio

The ship is described by the crew as " obsolete but functional", "insufficient to tangle with Federation patrols" ( they weren't much more than you'd see on space 2020), and IIRC was once called a rust bucket.

[Beatboks]

Also if Rommie isn't acceptable for my droid how about Twiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twiki .
Now that is a step down and three halves.

[Dane]

Eh, it's ok. Your ship is allowed to have weapons, but if it would stand up to a cruiser or a destroyer then it's weapons are probably a bit over the top.

Otherwise it's totally fine. Just for the sake of A) things making sense B) me being able to create space combat that is challenging for most people, I can't have anyone cruising around with the power of a Death Star.

[Dane]

The ships and droids all sound fine. Just not the one that could take out an armada or glass a planet.

Mandalorian Iron is probably too strong. Probably set the limit on armor at Durasteel or Duraplast. Basically if you kit yourself out in Beskargam head-to-toe, there are very, very few things in the Star Wars universe that would be able to hurt you. In order to make things a challenge, I would have to throw heavy armor or high-end Sith Lords at you every other day.

Also, how or why does your guy have energy blasts? There are only a few SW characters to ever use energy blasts and they were pretty much all extremely powerful force users.

My mistake. I was just bumping around that wookipedia for lightsaber-resistant material. I didn't even think to factor in its rarity. I'll adjust after class to something like what you suggested.

I didn't know that we had to limit ourselves to what is in Star Wars U. I thought we could include other fictional abilities outside it. This character is such a character.

I updated every character to a minor degree anyway and will equip the droid and ship after my final class.

[Dane]

Well the thing about Beskar is that it's not only rare and valuable, it's durability is incredible. Blaster fire would just bounce off you.

You aren't limited to SW abilities. But since it's part of a story, it should more or less make sense in that story. Also, you only get one character template per character.

No rush dude.

[Beatboks]

OK reworked ship/ crew



ship
Liberator - blakes7.wikia.com/wiki/Liberator
The ship has self regenerating capability and regenerating energy banks. It needs to stop without expending energy on occasion to recharge. Driving the ship to it's limits depletes the energy reserves in 2 hours. It's faster than anything but a photonic drive system and has neutron blasters and a force wall, plus teleporters ( that need teleport bracelets) and a ships AI that can control all functions and fly the ship on instruction ( but can't control the teleporters)

Role - Leader
Template - Avon Ker en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerr_Avon . blakes7.wikia.com/wiki/Kerr_Avon
equipment - Blaster, personal computer.
Computer, engineering and tactical genius. Distrusts everyone and suspects everything of a being a trap and always has an escape planned. Will betray anyone but Blake ( who for some reason he put his life above his own) unless he considers them necessary. When Tarrant ( second pilot of his crew) had a problem with Vila Avon's words were " your only a pilot easily replaced, Vila is the best damn thief in five quadrants ever threaten him again and I'll throw you at the nearest air lock". Concersly when Avon and Vila were making a run from Terran Federation troops in a ship that didn't have the thrust to escape gravity and the load needed to be lightened Vila was VERY quick to lock himself in a cabinet so that Avon was forced to choose some of their bounty/ stolen goods over him.

Role Pilot
Template Beka valentine andromeda.wikia.com/wiki/Beka_Valentine
Equipment - Force lance andromeda.wikia.com/wiki/Force_lance
Loyal and devoted to her crew and commander ( at least to hunt- relations with a less altruistic character like Avon may be different). NEVER leaves a man behind. Hard core likely to charge into the face of battle when severely outnumbered rather than retreat.
Human with enhnanced Speed and reflexes

Role Warrior/ tactical
Template Tyr Anasazi
Equipment - two Gauss guns ( one snob nosed) and an assault rifle.
Calculating and manipulating individual always after what's best for him.
Has a back door planned for every contingency. and always has his personal safety at heart.
His personal survival will always take precedence over anyone even those he admires and respects like Hunt and Beka. Their safety only ever comes first when assuring it ensures his ( usually the reason he protects or comes back fro Beka is she's the only pilot he knows who can get them out of the fix their in.
Nechian bread for physical perfection Strength, speed, agility and stamina all above human level.

Role
Councilor, spiritual guide, warrior
Template - G'Kar en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%27Kar
Equipment - blaster, Force Lance
Former warrior who attained enlightenment and became the spiritual leader of his people. he is completely selfless and would give everything of himself for the greater good. He is admired and respected by countless species and was even offered absolute rule of his own warrior race but rejected it saying that that type of power should never rest in only the hands of one. He wrote the doctrine on which the interstellar alliance was based which is an even more altruistic and democratic ideal that that of the American bill of rights. He preaches that giving to the universe will see the universe reward your actions in kind.
Member of the Narn race physically strongest known race in babylon 5 mythos.

Beatboks, your team is accepted. Do they have some universal translator? It may be very difficult for them to function in the SW universe without one. Everything is written in Aurebesh or Huttese.

[Erik-El]

I see. Is it fine that I have Beskad swords? The wookipedia stated that Mandalorian Iron was common in the sword's construction and also that the training in their use was common on Mandalore. Also, what of the Crushgaunts?

I don't have any templates though. Do you mean I only am allowed one power set? If so, I only used them to give an idea of character powers, What if I just listed abilities without referencing characters for reference? Such as just listing strength cap, speed cap, etc? It is more vague but if I am limited in character templates, I would rather just create my own power set.

[Erik-El]

Beat:

Who are these characters you name as if they are part of your team but are mysteriously not on your roster?

When Blake and his crew first found Liberator it was speaking in a different language. It linked with one of them and learned their language and then spoke english. During the series they met other races as well and didn't seem to have any trouble so I'll say the ship's AI does have the capacity. Since the teleport bands also act as communicators I'd say they can use them to translate when off the ship.

Mandalorian Iron is used in Beskads and Crushgaunts, so they're both out unfortunately.

Making your character a swiss-army knife of street level powers isn't really what I had in mind. Keep in mind none of the SW races had any of those powers, except for Gen'Dai having healing factors. I'm fine with you writing a character with powers, but when you have them listed as a Mandalorian (which isn't a race by the way) it doesn't actually make any sense at all.

Also, Madison Jeffries would allow you to pretty much turn yourself into Iron Man in 2 seconds flat. So that's probably not street level. And the energy projection of Ms. Marvel? really? Who will I have you fight to make this a difficult thread? Darth Sidious cloned a hundred times for a warm up?

I put a relaxed set of rules because I figured it would be obvious that there is such a thing as 'way too powerful'. I might have to write out some more detailed rules.

I know Mandalorian isn't a race. The character is a mutant, he was just raised as a Mandalorian. I suppose there is some jarring confusion about the RPG element on the inclusion of outside fiction. Because I am using elements from other fiction, I have to create a backstory of them coming from this outside U?

I don't think Jeffries ever created something that powerful on the fly. His ability (at least the modern version) is very much like Forge only when he is creating stuff, he doesn't actually have to touch it. Classic version had that whole Box thing going on but I didn't read Alpha Flight, so I can't weigh in on his classic powers. In modern X-Men, he is the new Forge essentially.

Since I am not familiar with Star Wars, I think it is unfair to assume I should know what is way too powerful and what is not. Especially when there are characters that give Luke a challenge and according to self-proclaimed Star Wars experts, that mothafraker moves at light speed. If you have light speedsters running around, potentially giving my guys grief, I didn't think energy blasts were that big a thing. I don't mind revising, but your limits don't seem to be the standard character creation rules that you originally stated them to be (I believe a standard concerning energy projection was Iron Man level, which is Ms. Marvel level).

I assume your referring to the names I've listed in some of the Bios?
The names in question are characters from the fictional universes that my characters come from.

In the universe of Andromeda the crew of the ship is
Dylan Hunt -Captain -think Malcom Reanolds

Beka - Second in command, pilot

Tyr - Security chief think Jane Cob

Trans Gemini - Medical Officer - Think Simon Tam with the ability to see alternate futures

Shamus Harper - Engineer - Kaylee

Rev bem - councilor - think Shepard


On Blakes seven

Roj Blake ( martyr altruist leader)

Ker Avon ( genius cynic)

Vila Restal ( Thief)

Jenna Stannis - Pilot/smuggler

Olag Gan - munitions specialist

Cally Telepath

at the end of season 3 Blake, Jenna, Gan and Cally are al either killed or missing and replaced with
Tarrant - pilot
Dayna - weapons designer
and
Soolin - gun slinger/ merc

Yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks for clearing it up lol. Never watched the show. So are you using the characters directly from the show or are you making new characters based on them?

[Beatboks]

I figured using them as they are in the show. I don't think I'm creative enough to come up with characters that good.

Plus having two altruists in a team with two self interested self preserving A-holes could be fun interplay.

[Erik-El]

LOL. I look forward to seeing how they interact with one another when Dane tries to kill them off lol.

[Beatboks]

Way I see it, Avon and Tyr will both keep Beka pretty safe because she's such a good pilot and fighter. G'kar's soapboxing however is likely to get on both their nerves and mean there might be times where they just forget he's covering their retreat and try to make Beka take off without him, which of course will be completely against her loyal to a fault nature.

Luke doesn't move at lightspeed. That's completely absurd. I'll redefine the rules to make things easier.

Consider this: Only a handful of characters, in thousands of years were ever more powerful or deadly than Darth Vader. Most of what he did, you will know from the movies.

I just can't possibly make things interesting if you have a character with 5 mid-tier powersets from Marvel comics. Unless I have someone mind control him every time.

Okay that gives me a much better idea.
