Smuggler's Rest RP!
Smuggler's Rest RP!
I know I don't make RPs very often, and there's too many new as it is, but...you know how plot bunnies are. ;)
This is a Star Wars RP, but not in the traditional sense. The Smuggler's Rest is a seedy little inn on the sketchier side of Coronet City, the planetary capital of Corellia. Most spacers will blow through Corellia eventually, despite its inconvenient proximity to the Core, so as you can imagine, the Smuggler's Rest serves a lot more than just smugglers. All the characters are staying at the Smuggler's Rest, wanting nothing more than to get off Corellia but having no way to do so. They're forced to team up, and fast, because the days of the Smuggler's Rest might be numbered: with the new Imperial government came new crackdowns on health and safety codes, of which the Rest is clearly in violation of several. Everyone has his/her/their own motives, preferred destinations, personalities, etc., so working together could be...troublesome. I have a bad feeling about this...
Rules:
-ABSOLUTELY NO FORCE-SENSITIVE CHARRIES. This is meant to take place in the "normal" galaxy (such as it is), and under the Empire, Force-sensitivity is a death mark anyway.
-If you're going to be leaving, please let us all know. It's no fun when someone makes a charrie then just...disappears.
-We'll start once 6-8 people have joined; further joining will be considered on a case-by-case basis (though the chances of getting in are good).
-Make your charrie reasonable. I have little patience for Mary Sues (incredibly OP and/or clichéd characters).
-Could people think about changing up their usual charrie formula? Try making a charrie whose gender is opposite from yours, or a charrie in their thirties instead of their teens, or a charrie from one of the more unusual alien species. Be creative!
I think that's it. Here's my charrie, and may the Force be with you!
Name: Tisaneh Roell
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Species: Twi'lek
Appearance: Orange skin, dark brown eyes, teeth sharpened in traditional Twi'lek style, very subtle pale striping on shoulders and lekku, quite short. Wears a pretty typical off-white tunic and trousers, many-pocketed brown synth-leather vest, equipment belt, rather beat-up boots, and a black fabric headwrap (unusual for male Twi'leks, but common for females).
Personality: Like that of the stereotypical geek, complete with smarts, social awkwardness, and tendency toward obsession. Excellent with academia and all manner of technology, but with other people, he's hopeless: shy, gawky, oblivious to social cues, and completely guileless. Often acts like the little boy he was not so many years ago.
Background: Grew up on Herdessa, where he met his girlfriend in secondary school. They spent almost a year together before her passion for him began to cool, and she went to Coronet City to pursue a degree in Republic law. (This changed to Imperial law during her first semester, but she didn't really care.) Tisaneh, desperate, followed her and began an apprenticeship as a mechanic at Corellian Engineering Corp. She welcomed him at first, but officially broke up with him and kicked him out of her apartment a couple weeks ago. He's now living at the Rest because it's got the lowest prices around, but wants to go somewhere else to pursue his real dream: designing the coding for datapad games.

Oooh, I've got to tell Cho about this... Can I add Job to the charrie sheet?
Name: Cyla "Vixen" Enaru
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Species: Togruta
Appearance: Orangey-reddish skin, emerald-green eyes, white Togruta lekkus with golden stripes in V shape, instead of the standard blue ones, average height but quite slim, wears a black body suit, double holster belt with two blaster guns, equipment belt, and black boots.
Personality: Sly, smart, calculating, sarcastic, and cold. Your steriotypical vixen.
Background: Grew up on Shili with an ordinary childhood. Her mother died when Cyla was around eight, and she has a stepsister now, Kinah La'ric (see Cho's charrie). Her father was a smuggler, and when Cyla turned 16, he gave his ship (The Pheonix) to Cyla, and she took up smuggling to provide for her family. Two years ago, Cyla found that her village had been found by slave traders, who captured the town and Cyla's extended family.
Job: Smuggler, pilot, and thief, all in one go!
Other: Owns a YT-1300 light freighter, The Pheonix.

Yes, of course you can add Job to the charrie sheet. Good idea!
(August 24, 2016 - 10:28 am)
OHMIGANDALF, I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!!!
Name: Kinah La'ric
Gender: F
Age: 23
Species: Cathar/Twi'lek
Appearance: She wears a black high-cut top with leggings and boots, as well as a traditional headwrap common among the Twi'lek. She has blue skin with brownish-black stripes, and feline like ears. Quite often, she paints her stripes the same color as her skin in order to masquerade as a Twi'lek.
Personality: She's very snarky/sarcastic, using that to work off all the hurt that's accumalated over the years. But otherwise, under that rough outer shell, she's very caring and kind. Good luck getting to that part of her.
Background: Ha. She ran away from home when she was 12, becoming a petty thief. However, this was not her dream. She wanted to become a bounty hunter. House Renliss quickly recognized her potential and accepted her into their ranks. But in order to stay on their good side, she has to pay bribes to House Renliss so that no one will cash in on her. Despite this, she's managed to get back in touch with family, stay away from the authorities, and become even vaguely sucessful. It's a work in progress, though.

YAY!!! The Chatterbox needs more Star Wars!!!
Name: Ariel Thorax
Gender: Female
Age: 11
Species: human
Appearance: Super-straight just-past-the-shoulder-length blond hair, with long bangs that fall into her eyes. Bright green eyes. Wears brown legging tucked into buckled black boots (the better for kicking with my dear!), and a green top that vaugely resembles a sweatshirt over a thin white blouse.
Personality: Umm, something new... Ah ha! Is a sassy, stubborn little princess! We need one of those! So... she has a HUGE temper, and voices her thoughts easily.
Job: Staying alive. She is to proud to work, and to proud to steal... which makes things...difficult. She is rather good at tinkering, and could get a job at a shipyard somewhere, but she blows her top too easily. And she's pretty impatient.
Background: She doesn't know how she got to Smuggler's Rest. She thinks she was knocked out and dragged here, because she woke up with a splitting headache. Ariel does rmember her past life, though, and she has a pain really, really deep. It has never surfaced, and even Ariel doesn't know what it is.
Sooo, I hope this isn't Mary Sue. She won't start blubbering, and pouring out her soul, and then change dramatically. I read the other characers and felt like we needed a real thorn in everyone's side. Here she is! She will be a real... Annoyance (to put it lightly). However, maybe ya'll could be a good influence on her temper. ;)

Top top top top top, and also here's a random pencil sketch of Tisaneh while we wait for another joiner or two:
(August 26, 2016 - 10:15 pm)
Are we going to start soon?
(August 27, 2016 - 7:15 am)
Yeah, soon. I'd prefer to have another person or two, but if that doesn't happen within a few days we'll start anyway.
Koda says miai. Nice try, Koda, but I think the cat imitation might be better if you made it meow.

Pretty please? Won't you pleasepleaseplease with cheese on top, join?!
(August 27, 2016 - 1:16 pm)
I am definitely joining.
Name: Sentara Jithe
Gender: Female
Age: 34 (22 in human years)
Species: Arkanian Offshoot
Appearance: smooth black hair streaked with white reaching down to her waist, pale skin, electric blue/ white eyes, they switch occasionally, decidedly humanoid in body except for her hands: one is clawed with 4 fingers, and the other is overlaid with metal implants.
Personality: I don't want to really go into a whole description of her race, but right now it's kind of essential. So here goes.
Arkanians are a very proud (sometimes arrogant) humanoid species. Most of them consider themselves as the ultimate creation of evolution (hence the extreme pomposity), and don't like mixing with what they call "lessers". They have been messing with genetics and cloning for a long time, so there are many offshoots of the race. Sentara is one of the pure blood strains, but does not really share the feeling for lessers. She is quiet, very smart, and willing to work with polite species (did I mention that Arkanians hate rudeness?). But she also has a personality. I unfortunately don't have the time to write everything, so I guess I'll add it in throughout the story.
Background: As I said, she's a pure blood (kind of the equivalent to nobility). She accidentally got into an argument with a higher ranking Tarlan (pure blood again), and was forced to leave the planet. She wound up in Coronet City, where she intends to wait until she can return home.
I still need an idea for why she has to team up with everybody else.
Alright! I think that's it. Let's get this RP started!
(August 28, 2016 - 3:17 pm)
Can I join? Please?
Name: Ranian Celtiin
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Species: Human
Appearence: See Pic.
Personality: Kind, sometimes acts naive, but is really very street smart. Often acts like a sweet little princess, but sometimes little bits of her natural, sarcastic side shines through. Her motto is "talk less, smile more." Sorry. Couldn't resist Hamilton fangirling there.
Background: Born and bred on Corellia, with a brother who became a CorSec officer. Her parents died when she was very young, so he raised her. They had a very close relationship, and he trained her to be able to take care of herself. He also realized her natrual talent in piloting, and taught her how to fly just about anything. He was killed in the line of duty, but CorSec let his killer free because they didn't have enough evidence. She went off to avenge her brother outside of the law, and gave it up after three years, and totally loseing the killers trail, as well as realizing that revenge was stupid and cliche. She had to seriously rethink her life after that, and realized that she was on the wrong side of the law anyway, so she became a pilot for hire. She came back to Correllia to see her roots.
Job: Pilot for hire. She pilots for just about anyone. Bounty Hunters, smugglers, crime lords. She owns a ship made up of a hodgepodge of parts from different ships.
