Somehow I missed the posting requirements in the opening post - otherwise I wouldn't have asked. Sorry for apparently being rather blind. :)
While I would dearly love to play a swaggering sharpshooting Zeltron Smuggler, I'm going to have to pass. My work schedule being what it is, and the fact that I'm running a weekly Cybergeneration tabletop game plus a PBEM Cyberpunk game, I don't think I can do a daily post.
Please drop me a note with your game thread when it gets running, though. I'd love to see what you all do with this one. :)

Some Notes
So, you seem to be shifting away from the initial concept a little bit. Any particular reason you went with the Jedi class instead of the Noble class?
Since your character is a Baran Do, not a Jedi, I will need you to include how you got the lightsaber in your backstory.
Crunch looks good. All the math adds up.
| Plungo Mu'un |
GM
In the Jedi Academy Training Manual entry, it mentions that the Baran' Do temple served as a refuge for Jedi who had escaped pursuit in the Dark times of the rise of the Empire. Plungo's master would have been a Kel Dor Jedi who had done just that, Eventually gaining rank within the Baran Do. Perhaps the master took a particular interest because Plungo reminded the master of his younger self, and felt sympathy for the orphan.
So Plungo would be trained as a Jedi, but also techniques of the Baran Do sages. I figure that the master passes the Lightsaber on and becomes one with the force.
Plungo, still young and on the impulsive side, decides that the "peace and tranquility" the Baran Do encourage cannot truly be found when an evil Empire is denying the peace and tranquility of so many innocents.
He sets out on his own, looking to try to make the galaxy a better place to live.
He has no real example of the Jedi and not a firm grasp on the intricacies of their teachings, but would still hold them in high regard. It's a character I'd like to play, he might be the group's paladin, to use a pathfinder/dnd metaphor.
Still have to write this all up nice and tidy for his backstory.
| GM Phntm888 |
Is the Rebellion Era book the only one that has backgrounds in it?
Yes, it is. If nothing there works for your character, message me and we'll see if we can come up with one that fits the backstory you have in mind.
I know you're here, Donavaan. Take your time, you have until Saturday.

Cool. I will read up on them and if nothing works, then I will send you a PM and we can talk about it. Hopefully, I will find something I like though. :-)
And now for the rolls...
4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 3) = 12 11 (+0)
4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 5) = 17 16 (+3)
4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 4) = 17 14 (+2)
4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 5) = 16 13 (+1)
4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 5) = 11 10 (+0)
4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 6, 4) = 16 13 (+1)
Well, these seem pretty respectable, especially given that humans get to add +2 to one ability score. I will see what I can come up with, but I am thinking a male human Jedi with a Dexterity-focused build (what can I say, I like laser swords...).
Probably something like:
Str 10, Dex 16, Con 11, Int 14, Wis 15, Cha 13

Wednesday submission list update! Remember, everyone has until Saturday to finalize their submissions.
I also realized I never stated a time in my original post, so I'll announce that based on how manly people still need time to finish on Friday.

I know a couple of people already have concepts they've floated and stats they've rolled. I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of you come up with.
| haruhiko88 |
I was thinking the Chiss, the blue skinned people that have been around since the Old Republic (just not in the open), not the Nagai. I have a couple of ideas kicking around, just need to do some more reading and figure out a proper back story. Idea #1 the intelligent soldier. Human or Chiss using the Predictive Defense Feat (Galaxy At War) and probably the armor specialist and weapon specialist talent trees to build into the Gladiator and Elite Trooper with Advanced Weapons. A scholarly warrior if you would.
Idea #2 A Zeltron Noble or Scoundrel, trying to decide how much of a party boy I'd be willing to play.
| GM Phntm888 |
I know you were thinking the Chiss, haruhiko. I also know the Chiss Ascendancy has a strict doctrine of not attacking first, and not getting involved in other people's issues, especially during this time period. That's what your backstory will have to address if you play the Chiss. I'd suggest looking at Grand Admiral Thrawn's history.
| Plungo Mu'un |
Gear and numbers finalized I do believe, I'll work on the backstory and appearance to really wrap it up hopefully tomorrow.
Backstory -Check
Although Savvo wanted to stay and assist Sha Koon in her attempted coup, Sha Koon knew that the young Jedi wouldn't be able to make a difference in the coming confrontation, and sent him to their home planet of Dorin , where Koon instructed Tiem Savvo to seek refuge among the Baran' Do at the Temple in Dor'shan. Although it wasn't easy to evade capture, Savvo was able to make it to the Dor'shan spaceport and then the Temple. The sages there, having felt the overwhelming disturbance in Force that was the great Jedi purge, and hearing the name " Koon" offered Savvo refuge.
Tiem Savvo immediately felt the loss of Sha Koon's life in the force when Vader struck, but also knew that she had died in peace and became part of the undying force. This was all that kept Savvo from succumbing to the strength of his feelings and surrendering to the dark side of the force. The Baran' Do, sensing Savvo's pain, decided to begin to teach him the lessons of their sages. Savvo quickly earned himself a spot among the order, tucking his lightsaber and jedi robes away for some distant future.
Plungo Mu'un, who was dropped off at the Baran Do temple after displaying a connection to the Force as an infant, was an adolescent training under the Baran Do. When Order 66 was issued,he ( like most force-sensitive individuals) felt the great disturbance. When the Kel Dor jedi arrived a few weeks later, most younglings were fascinated, and Plungo took a particular liking to Savvo. The two struck up a friendship and became sparring partners. Savvo had never had an apprentice before but he took to the relationship like a duck to water, sharing all he knew, including the terrible truth about Sidious and Vader. Although the Baran Do Order did not out-right approve of the teaching of the Jedi ways at their temple, they didn't refuse it either and allowed Savvo to pass on many lessons, and eventually his own lightsaber to the young Plungo Mu'un.
Plungo did his best to stay focused on the peaceful ways of the Baran Do while also training in the ways of a Jedi. He was a diligent student: extremely affable and intuitive, if not the brightest pupil; but still the tales of the Jedi that Savvo retold captivated Plungo's young mind. He grew restless knowing the current state of the galaxy. He pleaded often with Tiem Savvo and the other sages of the Baran Do, "How can we truly find peace in the safety of our temple while the Empire at large caused such unrest and destroyed the peace of so many innocent creatures?" They could not give him the answer he wanted.
He decided to seek that answer on his own. Plungo Mu'un left only a short note saying " Goodbye, May the Force be with you" by his bed-side when he took his belongings and the inherited lightsaber and traveled to the Dor'shan spaceport. He boarded a transport ship- the first of many on his eventual path to the Outer Rim, and Krai Ven Station specifically, in the Vertigo system. Plungo pledges himself to seek to help those in need, to start small, and from the bottom up- do everything in his power to disrupt the Empire.

I don't mind the knowledge about a secret Sith in control of the Galactic Senate, but not the Sith's identity as Palpatine. In fact, Siem would probably have assumed Vader was the Sith, especially since, while Sha knew Anakin had fallen to the Dark Side, she didn't know he was Vader until her attempt at killing him. That's my reading of the 'confrontation with Vader' part, anyway, and it's use of the word surprise.

Jace Concorkill was one of the later padawans that was taken under the wing of Jedi Master Iediorum Rex, one of the younger members of the Council, named shortly before the end of the Clone Wars and a rare Jedi Healer. Unlike many vurk Jace was not as much into negiations as much as the most famous vurk Coleman Trebor was. It was hoped that Master Rex, who had also taken on another healer padawan, Quen Pah, would be able to temper the young vurk a bit.
Beingg a healer Master Rex was assigned to both battle and hospitals. Jace liked the battles but learned much about healing from Master Rex though he had yet to develop the talent. Master Rex was teaching his young padawans how to hide in the Force and it was almost a prophecy of things to come.
When Order 66 was issued, Master Rex was able to take the clones out who attacked him in the hospital. As they fled, knowing that they would soon be over run, he placed the padwan in a force trance, making him seem as if he was dead and his Master fled. It was a gamble that paid off.
When he awoke he was able to flee the planet and now he wanders the galaxy looking for his former Master or any remanants of the Jedi Order, using his lightsaber [green] when possible and honing his skills. He might not be the best in terms of the Force but is unmatched when using a lightsaber. [wants to become a battle master]/

Money 5 credits; Other Wealth None
Usually seen in simple functional attire, at times complemented by a hooded all-temperature cloak to keep both heat and cold away, he shows a preference for clothes that are as comfortable and non-restrictive as possible. His other possessions appear meager, amounting to little more than a sporting blaster pistol holstered by his right hip, a knife kept sheathed by his left and a utility belt containing various useful items within it. Still, there is one more thing he carries on him almost at all times, his lightsaber, which is kept in a concealed holster that is fastened across his belt in the small of his back and is usually hidden under a jacket or some other piece of clothing, as well as his cloak when he wears it.
As a Youngling and even later as a Padawan, Jeren had formed a close friendship and bond with a girl his age by the name of Allyria Sorren, also in the Order. Though at first it amounted to little more than that, it slowly but surely evolved into a romance, one that was reciprocated, though never actually acted upon due to the Order's restrictions. Still, the feelings persisted in both of them and at some point Donnal started to suspect. But by then, the Clone Wars had begun in earnest and there were more pressing matters to attend to. Besides, Jeren was with his Master and the young woman was with hers and given the variety of missions and planets on which those missions took place, they hardly saw each other much. Yet, whenever they did, it was clear that the feelings were still there. Thus, Donnal had no other choice but to share his suspicions with the Council, which resulted in both Padawans' Trials being postponed until the matter could be investigated further and more proof could be obtained.
For that reason Jeren and Allyria found themselves being assigned on missions together and independently of their respective Masters, though, being only apprentices, a Jedi Knight or two were assigned on the same missions with them to watch over them and see how they did and performed away from their Masters' supervision and direction. Or at the very least that was one part of it, as the Knight or Knights accompanying them were also supposed to keep an eye on them, so to speak. During those six months both Jeren and Allyria suspected that their feelings -for no actual affair existed due to both of them being torn between what they felt and what was expected of them as Jedi- had become known to the Order. And just as the Council was reaching the conclusion that a tribunal was necessary, so too the two Padawans were thinking the same. And believing that such a thing would mean their expulsion from the Order, they even started making plans of leaving by themselves in secret, sparing both themselves and their Masters what they perceived as an indignity and even unfairness.
But neither the Council's nor the Padawans' plans came to fruition, as Order 66 was given, putting an end not only to the war but to the Jedi Order as well. As their own clone troopers turned against them, Jeren and Allyria got separated as they fought bravely, perhaps even futilely, to survive.
Jeren managed to escape, finding himself on the run as Jedi everywhere and regardless of rank were hunted by not only the newly formed Empire, but by anyone willing and able to collect the bounties placed upon those that survived the Purge. But he never found out what happened to either the young woman or his Master.
And although he has kept his lightsaber, he has not used it since, nor has he used the Force, as such a thing would draw the Empire's agents. Staying in hiding, he has been keeping a low profile and moving from planet to planet, preferring worlds either with not much civilization or with too much of it, as a multitude of people and machines could do wonders to hide a Force user.
And it is during one such move from one planet to the next, a move that was caused by fighting off a bounty hunter that had managed to track him down, that he finds himself on Krai Ven Station, a sort of intermediary stop so to speak.

@Kir Vanti: If you're sure. You have until tomorrow to tell me otherwise.
@Donavaan Taar: I'm giving Jedi Use the Force for free, so you have one more trained skill available. I also need to know which Background you chose, and you have 1200 credits to spend if you want to buy anything.
@F Castor: Looks good. I'll post the background we discussed later.
| GM Phntm888 |
Pretty much what F. Castor said.
Speaking of, here's that background we discussed. Donavaan, this one may interest you as well.
Whether through luck, skill or the actions of another, you managed to avoid execution at the hands of the Clone Troopers during Order 66. Alone, you have traveled the galaxy, looking for your former comrades. Perhaps, instead, you went into hiding, seeking only to live out your days in peace.
Regardless, you have gotten very good at avoiding attention. You may reroll a Stealth check to hide or to blend into the crowd,
Relevant class skills: Deception, Knowledge (galactic lore), Stealth
| F. Castor |
Looks great and with pretty much the skills I would have put myself. And the effect/ability seems quite fitting indeed.
Jedi Purge Survivor it is for Jeren then, adding Stealth to his class skills, as well as picking it as a trained skill, as not only does it work with the Background's effect, but it is also the skill used to hide stuff on one's person if memory serves. You know, like, say, a lightsaber in a concealed waist holster. ;-)
Edit: Actually, after reading the Stealth skill entry (the part about concealing items on one's person), the fact that a single-bladed lightsaber is considered medium-sized and the Concealed Holster entry (where it specifically refers to single-bladed lightsabers as fitting into it) I am a bit confused. How do these three things interact with each other? Can a single-bladed lightsaber be concealed (after all, when inactive and holstered, it is just a hilt, which should be small enough; I actually think I have read somewhere that an unignited lightsaber hilt is considered Tiny actually)?
