Nelowulf Except Padme wanted to be a seperatist by ROTS, making note that her democracy "fell by thunderous applause". Plus, she constantly went rimward in ambassatorial trips, making her highly unlike the typical sentator, and her temprament is much closer to being able to give up the senate for what's right. Maybe not join the CIS, due to the trade federation's greed, but the corrupted republic is not her taste. I've been debating on whether or not to join this, usually leaning towards no. Partly because of the massive number of factions, and also because i bet that Obi-wan was probably not going to be allowed to be played as, even if i pulled it off fairly well last time. Although, what's the liklihood of being an ambassador or another active senator for one of the factions, completely unarmed and whatnot? I added the other factions to give more specifics on the galaxy. For instance, Jon Antilles is making a cargo run to Taris. But instead of guessing what kind of affiliation it had, I made it a member of another faction. This way, Mr. Antilles can know something of what to expect once he enters Tarisian space. In this case, since the Hydian Federation is more restrictive, he can expect a more difficult time getting through the space lanes due to stricter cargo inspection regulations. I also have a detail-driven mind. Hope I explained it well enough.

@ Jaden- Perhaps she's simply uneducated that way? I mean, not to make anyone look bad, but I'll speak from experience that character creation is very difficult for someone who's starting high-quality Star Wars roleplaying. She might not be aware that force-sensitivity is bred. (Damn you George)
@ Nelo- True. I had forgotten that. Maybe she's Seperatist leniant, then? Also, there's no rule saying we can't be canons. We just usually avoid it, don't we? But, if we can prove that we can play the part well, then there should be no reason why it can't be allowed, albeit under heavy restrictions.
Also, dibs on the lats force user. My character will be one, but he'll be untrained.

I'm not sure what you were trying to answer, Rodyn.
@ EK: We normally choose to avoid PCing canon characters because then you get every billy, bob, and joe running around as revan, han, chewy, luke, and obi-wan. Two major reasons are 1) they often think they know how to act and generally do a poor job (I.E. Obiwan getting mad and killing someone), and 2) it's to help show that the galaxy is bigger than the standard posse of five.
At the same time, we've npced a lot of characters that were cannon. I've done luke, yoda, and obi-wan as npcs, as well as krayt and maladi. That's just the unwritten policy. It's more of a way to instill creativity and make it seem different than a normal barton town BS rp.

Name: Dillon Faust Age: 36 Gender: Male Species: Human Homeworld: Jabiim Main weapon: E-11 Blaster Rifle Side weapon: Vibro-knife, Hold-out Blaster Affiliation: CIS Occupation: Second-in-Command of CIS Military Rank: General Personal Ship: Subjugator-class Heavy Cruiser/Destroyer Alto Stratus Subjugator-class Heavy Cruiser/DestroyerShort History: Dillon practiclaly worshipped Faust, as a young member of the Jabiim Nationalists. His parents were killed by the Lythian pirates when he was a newborn, and only sheer lucked spared him from being killed at their home as well. When he was 24, Dillon joined the Nationalist Army, leading a platoon of soldiers in Alto Stratus' military. He continued to serve throughout the combat, fighting for the Nationalists, until the Republic eventually won the battle, killed Alto, and pulled out. Cursing the Republic for killing his hero and leaving his planet, Dillon swore that he would continue on, and avenge Stratus. For starters, he was promoted to Captain, and given a commission as Chief Security Officer at Jabiim's largest starport. From there, he was recruited into the CIS, and assigned to head the remaining Nimbus Commandos, joining their rnaks and serving as their executive officer, in a unit attached to Count Dooku. With the CIS, Dillon continued his career, leading and revitalizing the Nimbus commandos, and becoming a senior leader in the CIS Army. By the time of the Battle of Alderaan, he was the highest-ranked human in the military, not far behind the Chief of State. Today, he serves as ________'s second in command, and one of the most loyal, anti-Republic men out there. He personally commands the Jabiim Sector Fleet from his command ship, the Alto Stratus. Only recently, after a routine medical examination was it found out that he possessed the potential to be a potent force user, though it remains unknown how medical examinations did not discover this sooner. This is assumed to be because of a misfiling, throughout the chaos of his early life. Appearance: Dillon FaustPersonal quote: "You can't trust the Republic. You can't trust the Jedi. A;; you can trust is yourself, and your blaster." --- Will finish later

I understand that, in fact, in a time like this, there'd be a bunch more than what you fleshed out.
Hoewver, might I ask, with the downfall of the republic, and the sudden fragmentation of the union, are you going to set up the appropriate exchange rates and currencies? AFterall, republic credits aready meant little on the rim as it was, and now with only the trade unions being far wealthier than the governments, they might start printing their own currency that has a bit more... power, behind the dollar.
And i wonder if you'd allow Echuu Shen-jonn...

Those are only the major factions. Not even I have the time to create half a dozen more, if that. As for money, I hadn't thought about it. But I'm currently thinking of a universal credit, unless someone is able to think up a list of names. Giving worth for each individual unit of currency compared to another faction's is moot, however. But I'm sure you can imagine that.

Dollar, dinah, won, credit, soopah, killopah, Pobble Beads, pu, ningis, pookon, etooni, ganar, bollnar.....
coming up with a galactic stock market wouldn't be that tough, although, it might play a part with people like Stellar who are dealing with large sums, and those buying ships and whatnot.
Afterall, if the republic credit suddenly dropped four points on the galactic markets, then someone's defaulting on their credit... again...

If EK is playing a Force Sensitvie, I think maybe it'd be good to allow one more Force User. Someone actually trained. Have FSes on a separate list.
Also I think it'd be prudent to look at putting limits on certain factions until others gain more members. So far we have two Jedi, a Sith, a CIS, an Independent, and 2 Republic.

What currency does the IBC use? Or did they back the republic credit?

I have no comment on it, but it does go against some of the most basic star wars unspoken rules, unlike zeltron nekos. At least she didn't bullshit a reason to give herself her fathers armor or something.
Though she could have reached the same end that she has by just saying her character was feisty. Not like mando blood means anything unless your a dyed-in-the-wool Mandalorian apart of an old clan.
Shes not really a Mandalorian, shes just human with the lineage essentially.

Because you don't want to label yourself as elitist like you did me? *shrug*
I really dont' see how her having mado parents makes her a mando though. Adopted children are more mando than offspring are, and she was carted away far younger than any mando's training could have. Hell, for all you know, Obi-wan is a mando too, as his hsitory is unknown before his sixth birthday.
To be honest, calling her manod is actually a bit of an insult to the mando people, as she wasn't raised in the mando ways. Which, if i recall, is one of the main rules of being one of the clan to begin with.
