(OOC) Planning Thread!

I don't know why the section would be considered lame. I like RPG's. I NEED some escapism and creative outlets! Ok MORE outlets.... working for lawyers will kill your soul and I'm determined for that not to happen.


I want a nice RPG to join from the beginning so that i don't feel overwhelmed by it. Then I can add to it regularly.

As long as I can be the Blonde curvy girl

I'm so excited for all of the players we're getting! This is awesome!

Well we don't have any blondes yet, but Kote's Twi'lek Yuno has curvy covered. But if you ask my gangster Kou, there are NEVER enough curvy ladies. So by all means--go for it! Just post a bio whenever it's ready and feel free to PM any of the players for plots. And let us know if you've got any questions!

I'm writing up the info. Still. If there's anything you guys want included in the main information post, speak now or forever hold your peace!

Maybe the RPG's are different here. I make a character based on whats going on... I need a direction to go in.. or you get the ever Hated "Si Titran".

RC-2017, feel free to make as many characters as you can handle!

Si Titran, the game information will be up soon and you'll be able to reference it. I'll give you a quick crash course of the plot.

The RPG takes place in the early Empire Age on Coruscant. There are two gangs, Red Flare and Scourge.

Catika wrote:

Red Flare is a satellite gang of the Black Sun (leader is Hec Kohler, NPC)
Scourge is a rival gang whose head was once a member of Red Flare but broke off (leader is Contardi Veigh, NPC)

Red Flare is more "corporate" and is all about funding suspicious activities and hiring out its members for protection and things like that. Scourge is more down and gritty with drug and slave trafficking as well as black market weapons and the like.

You could create a character who is gang member (either Red Flare or Scourge). You could also create a civilian character. If you choose to make a civilian character you need to figure out how they are some how involved with either gang. For instance, my character Balin is a civilian. He is a lawyer for Red Flare though (uh oh, you work for lawyers and you'll find out that I hardly know anything about them!). There is also a couple Mando characters who aren't apart of either gang, but supply the members with weapons. Also, you could just make a civilian character who's fed up with the gang warfare and decides to act out against them. You can read the character bios and npc bios to give you some guidance. But in the nut shell, here's who's associated with what side and what their job is:

Red Flare
Balin: Civilian and Lawyer
Catra: Mando currently involved with Red Flare
Yuno: Hec's girl, ex slave, dancer/entertainer, and double agent
Tor: Mando working as a bodyguard for Hec

Scourge
Kou: Gang Member
Saki: Gang Member
Grit: Clone and gun for hire currently involved with Scourge

Neutral
Tyre: Mando, weapon smith, and mercenary (sells to civilians, and both gangs)
Solus A.: large scale weapons salesman (sells to both gangs but mostly Red Flare)

It's easier to fit into the game if you go with one of the gangs. I was thinking maybe you could go with Scourge, but Red Flare doesn't have any solid gang members, just people associated with the organization. With that said, Red Flare could use a blonde curvy girl gang member. However, if you made your character be associated with Scourge that would even out the numbers.

If you need more direction, I think I'd go with being a Red Flare gang member since Scourge has two and Red Flare doesn't have any. However, if you can't get that to work let me know. I hope this helped you out, Si.

Is it ok if Solus Tor comes a bit later in the story? As I'd liek the botched mission to be more recent and that he is only starting to come out from behind the shadows again and getting ahold of old contacts (i.e people he's worked for in the past like Hec)
Unless he is already working for him but on a more discreet level?

Ah I can advise on lawyer type stuff. I may not be one, but I sure work for enough of them!

I'll see what i can come up with soon... ( not tonight.. i has headache.... )

Dha'Aden, he can come in a little later as a bodyguard for Hec. Will you play him being neutral to either side until then?

Si, feel better and don't hesitate to ask for help!

Eveyone, I opened up a RPG thread. Since some of you might not be used to an more of an open RPG I thought it might be better to start off with something simple. Hopefully whatever happens in this thread will lead to more one on one threads created by the players.

Since it's a Cantina pretty much anything could happen. You can plot with other players and have your character meet up at the Cantina. Or, you can just have your character by themselves at the bar and interact with other characters. However, some plotting is helpful. For instance if one player's character is sitting alone at the bar it wouldn't hurt to ask that character if it's all right to have your characters interact. As an example, you could write a post that has your character taking a sit at the bar by the other player's character and then add in an OOC message asking if it's all right to have the two talk to each other. Also, it would help out other players if you added that other characters are welcome to interact with your character.

If you have plotted something out or decide you just want your character and another player's to have a more private discussion without any interruptions please specify.

One more thing, interact with each other. I don't want to see everyone to go to their own corner of the cantina and sit there alone and wait for someone to come over to them. If a couple people have their characters alone and open to interactions, go to them instead of having your character sitting alone and open to interaction.

Again, ask any questions you have.

If you've read the last section i added to the RPG thread i was wondering if anyone from Red Falre could assist in me getting a job from there (Solus Tor had just lef the cantina to search up on some leads) and I'm not exactly sure where this can occur without having him run back to the cantina and saying anyone from Red Flare got a job for me? So yea any help would be great.

If you could use the new npc i posted that'd to link it that'd be great if not that's ok to.

Hey Dha'aden, I made an NPC who can help get Solus a job! Just make up something about him hearing that Hec was looking for a bodyguard from a source (i.e. Sirus). And then that source could give him Adma's number and she could meet with him/have him come to her office.


Okay everybody I got a question for you. In the rules I have it that if you disappear from the game for a period of time your character will become inactive. After a longer period of time the character becomes an NPC. I'm debating on how long that period of time should be. I was thinking if the player hasn't been active in the rpg forum for two months that their character(s) should become NPCs. Does that sound fair to everyone? Or should it be one month? Since the game is still new I thought that one month might be too short of a time.

2 months sounds good to me

And thanks Tenna I'll get to that right away!

Requesting permission for Solus Tor to have a meeting with Miss Rhys

Okay, I'll have her set up a meeting in my next post.

Hey guys!

Just so everyone knows, I'm going on a trip. I'll be home Tuesday night and I will try to post if I can! Sorry about leaving you guys hanging.

See you next week!

Have fun- we'll leave the lights on for you.

Hope you have a great time!
Holding the fort shouldn't be to hard...right?

Said the garrison of Troy...

I'm sorry for having to skip out again, but I just had a death in the family, and I will be going down to Louisiana for the funeral. I should be home Sunday, but until then, my characters can be NPC-ified or ignored.

Our thoughts go to you and your family Catika.

Sorry I've been a little more absent that usual. I'm taking classes and they shouldn't interfere with my posting until much later in the summer. But I always need an excuse not to do work. My internet is not working at my apartment but I have access to a connection on my college campus. Until whatever with my computer gets sorted out it just might take me a little longer to do things.

For Catika's characters, they'll be thread accessories for the time being. Luckily Catra and Kou are both in groups of characters/players. They'll still be there, just don't really comment on anything they're doing or not doing. For example E'cho said something to Catra. E'cho can just talk to the other characters/players and not mention whether or not Catra said anything back.

I'll do a round of posts to try and make things a little easier.

Hey everyone, sorry things have been slow.

Catika's back home and we talked about where the game should go next. In a nut shell Red Flare will have special cargo being kept at the cantina. Scourge finds out about the cargo and decides to steal it. Then things will pretty much explode and it'll be more interesting.

The next several days are really busy for me so I'm not sure when I can get things going. I'll try to type up some stuff during homework breaks.

Sounds awesome Tenna,
Finally Solus may have an excuse to use his...wait...Kote...Tyre still has to get those SFors! AHHhh...my SFors what will I do without them :C anyways I'm this would be my first time doing combat in a role play (other than the Star Wars Role Playing Game they have). Any advice on how this would happen, i.e. new thread how and if we actually initiate combat, whether we would fight with npcs or players or both...

Really loving the stuff you guys come up with keep up the good work!

Sorry, guys, I'm very busy right now.
If you need to store something in cantina, you'll have to contact Firo Jalle, the owner; as I am more or less ofline up to the evening of 14.07, I give you permission to use him if you want should the need arise sooner then I'm back. As for the carbines - well, if you're going to need them before the 14th, then let's think Tyre gave them to Solus. And we can write the actual exchange afterwards.

Aww, kk then hope everythings going ok Kote.

Kandossi though on the carbines! I have no clue but SWG first then the star wars role play is what got me to love those so much lol.

Anyway all the best with whatever it is you need to do and hope to see you pop by on he forums soon ner vode.

I just got all caught up with the thread, and let me say everyone is doing an expert job with posts! It's high-quality writing all around.

In the next couple of days, a new thread will be posted and the Red Flare/Scourge power struggle will really start to crop up. Sorry things have been so slow lately!

Hey no worries Catika,
All stories need a build up if not then where would the suspense be?
It's good that we have all been able to do some characterisation, excellent job to you all!

Now we can begin the war of the Rebel alliance vs the Imperials! .....wait I mean Scourge vs Red Flare....
You know what i mean

Hey guys! I'm thinking of joining in!

So here's the deal: You can work me in at any time. Use me for a plot hook, anything. I'm not going to be jumping in ASAP. So if any Game Master (people in charge of the story) wants to PM me with details later of how they want me to act, or if there's any plot-related info an exposition bunny should know that I can use.

As for character? The piss-off-as-many-people-in-one-sitting route. I'm still working on the details, but I'm thinking of playing an exiled echani, working as a spy/assassin who previously worked for one of the gangs and suddenly goes traitor.

Which gang needs a new member more, or is more advantageous for starting a new plot? I'm open to anything before I finalize this character. I have only this concept-- nothing else. Not even gender. Once I get a bigger framework to work with, I can do the details.

Please reply... I want to make this as seamless and not-upstaging-anyone as possible!
