Application Name: Meqao Race: Zabrak Background: Jedi/Sith Apprentice Class: Guardian/Inquisitor Description: Meqao is a young Zabrakian female, with coloration similar to that of her father. She has a single topknot of white hair from the back of her head which hangs down past her shoulders. She has markings similar to her father as well which cover her lithe yet muscular figure. It is apparent she is no stranger to exercise. Among her kind, she is considered attractive but perhaps not quite beautiful. She typically wears simple leathers which cover her body. Background: Meqao had a rough childhood she never knew or even met her father. His passing prior to her birth the daughter of a simple dalliance with her mother. It was obvious from a young age that Meqao had a connection to the force, a strong one at that. By the time she reached her teen years, she learned of her father's death from another who knew him. She learned of her father's training and service to the man who was now the Emperor. Her father replaced by the emperor's new apprentice Darth Vader. Meqao made it her goal, to take her father's place one day. Over the next 7 years she trained her body as hard as she could in preparation. At the same time focusing her mind and spirit as well to learn to control the force. It was during this training that at last she was detected, and troops sent to kill or collect her. She was still on Zabrak when the troops arrived, and found her. As they moved to arrest her she leapt to the attack, taking the troopers off guard and killing two with her blaster before they even had a chance to react. The third trooper managed to get off a shot which Meqao avoided and shot him as well, before taking aim on the final trooper. The final trooper knowing full well he had no chance lowered his weapon. Meqao smiled at the trooper and moved closer he blaster still trained on his chest. Looking directly at him she spoke clearly for him to hear. "You will take me to your Master Darth Vader. I would speak with him, and learn from him." The trooper simply nodded as he turned and moved back into the ship, as Meqao followed him and took a seat inside. When they arrived at the station Meqao allowed the trooper to take her to Darth Vader. As she was ushered forward Darth Vader looked to the trooper detecting the manipulation Meqao had placed in his mind. Dismissing the trooper as Meqao dropped to one knee. "Lord Vader I come seeking your guidance and training so that I may serve the emperor and avenge my father Darth Maul. Vader looked at the woman and felt her strong connection to the force. From that point forward Meqao began her training as an Inquisitor in the service of Lord Vader and the Emperor, eager to avenge her father's death and on day take his place at the Emperor's side.

To Prove Herself: Name: Si'Re'Ne Race: Tiss'Shaar Background: Mercenary Class: Operative (Sharpshooter) Description: Si is around six feet tall when she stands fully upright and weighs around a hundred and fifty pounds. Her scaly hide is a dark grey-green with pale yellow stripes that start at her muscles shoulders and trail down her back on either side of her spine and light black spots that start at the back of her head and are smattered down to the base of her tail that gives her a somewhat mottled look. She has two slitted, yellow eyes that seem to look upon people in a half-predatory, half-appraising look as if she is weighing and measuring her target's skill, worth...or taste. She doesn't like wearing armor or clothes when not on the job but understand the utility of it and thus dons a many-pocketed vest of grey-green, a bandolier stocked with slugs, both padded enough to act as armor and utility belt where she keeps an ammo pouch filled with more slugs and a kit for reloading her munitions. Among her gear, she seems to only carry one weapon, a well-used and well-kept hunting rifle with a suitable shoulder strap. Background: Si as a hatchling was something of a runt among her clutch and as she grew, she only got clumsier. Si was born into the Ne bloodline, known for turning out the best and brightest assassins and bounty hunters. In her early years of training, though, she showed little natural talent, tending to lose her temper far too often and make mistakes based on her animal instincts. As she entered adulthood, with only her training in hand, she was sent out to prove herself by making a name and honoring her family's profession. Upon her new path, she learned that if she were to keep herself out of close proximity to the job, she was better able to control her animal instincts and to this end she began using a hunting rifle and practiced taking out her foes from long range. Si'Re'Ne is now an enterprising young Tiss'Shaar as far as her people are concerned. She is a decent bounty hunter and assassin in her own right as she follows the family business. In an attempt to make a name for herself, she finds herself traveling farther away from home than most of her kind but her particular skills make sure she never has to beg for a job and never goes hungry. She took the job with the Empire as more of a test and a challenge, as she wants to be the best in the business. When she finally proves herself to the Empire, she'll be allowed to return to her homeworld and claim the reputation that follows her family as an efficient mercenary.

Please accept as placeholder. Definitely interested in exploring the Darkside

[Pseudonymous]

Ooh, Star Wars! Cool campaign idea, and the 5e Star Wars conversion looks neat!

[Saratek]

Very Cool Game Idea! Especially given the current Star Wars Series being released.

I'm currently tapped out until after your deadline, but I Wish You the Best with your game.

Stormhammer is not a GM anyone should sleep on.

If I end up getting news on other apps before your deadline, I may toss together my old 'Starkiller' ripoff concept.

EDIT: Might end up tossing a Sentinel app together.

Regardless, Good Luck, Stormhammer. I'm sure you won't disappoint.

Arryn Lok Name: Arryn Lok Race: Human Background: Mandalorian Class: Scout Description: Arryn stands at 5'10'' (177cm) tall, wears a Mandalorian-style armor that is in maroon and dark scarlet color shades with metallic silver elements, and has a tint of dark blue sheen in the dim light. Underneath the armor, Arryn is a fair-skinned, slim-toned, and wiry Human woman in her late twenties. She has medium short auburn hair; cold, blue eyes; and a calm, unmoved face. She moves nimbly, with a feline-like grace, deliberate and calculated like a predator on the prowl. Background: Arryn of Clan Lok was born on Mandalore. Her parents were bounty hunters, and Arryn spent her early years wandering the galaxy, which shaped her personality, inducing a wanderlust streak. Later, at the insistence of their parents to learn knowledge from outside Mandalore, Arryn joined the Imperial Navy. Initially, she was assigned to the Imperial Marines, and eventually her career took her to specialist commando and sniper schools, and she became Imperial Special Forces. She wandered the galaxy with the best Imperial soldiers, learning from them and fighting for the Empire on the most daring missions. That is how her paths crossed with the fearsome Lord Vader. Her unit was used on more than one occasion by him, and her skills caught his personal attention. She was singled out for an assassination mission by him. She completed it to perfection, and for that she was promoted to the officer's rank. She was assigned to a new unit where she had a chance to fight with the Force users as well. However, due to political infighting, which she was not interested in, she was sidelined and moved to static and uneventful posts, and finally she resigned her commission. She returned to Mandalore and Concordia, where she met her parents again. It was a brief and very intense time for her to reconnect with her Mandalorian roots, where she trained in the ways of her people, earned through combat the respect of her clansmen, and eventually learned how to care for the armor. However, she found staying in the Mandalorian system too boring she bought a ship and she left to become a bounty hunter and a hitman, and to wander the galaxy again. Her last few quarries must have caught Lord Vader's attention again...

Name: Wreev
Race: Wookiee (using the Cathar species traits, except for Languages)
Background: Force Adept
Class: Monk 2/Guardian 1

Description:
Clothed in a night-dark bodywrap and robe, Wreev's impressive height is hard to miss in most crowds. Tech gauntlets on each forearm terminate in long, point-tipped ferrocloth gloves. The hood and mask give off an air of barely contained fury waiting to be unleashed. The red Lightsaber extends. There is no hope.

Hunched over and huddled against the weather, Wreev's unimpressive demeanor is easy to ignore in most crowds. They appear fragile and harmless. The mask is obviously a breathing apparatus for some backwater species ill-suited to Galactic Standard atmospheres. There is nothing to see here.

You ask Wreev a question. After a moment of silence, the dark figure carefully punches commands into their left gauntlet. A robotic voice comes from a speaker in the gauntlet, providing a brief answer to your question.




Background:
The Wookiees that made their ancient home in dangerous Chreryyynk, the eight rainforest valleys, lead entirely separate lives from the rest of Wookieekind. In a cliffside temple, the Oooraurgrrra Warriors have learned, trained, meditated, and taught their Force tradition for ages. They were first discovered by the Sith, who taught them how to mask their presence from the Jedi. From their out-of-the-way place on Kashyyyk, they have avoided the current events of their planet and the Galaxy as a whole. Surviving the deadly nature of their home and fending off encroachments of their tall-tree cousins presents enough of a challenge for their people.

But, since the Sith first arrived, they have returned twice. Each time, they have come to recruit students. Apprentices to their cause. They have always brought treasure of immense value in exchange, and have never been denied their request.

On the day Wreev completed the lowest branch of Oooraurgrrra training, the Sith returned for a third time. The lowliest of the temple's five students, Wreev was chosen to serve the Sith. Since then, Wreev has trained in the Lightsaber and learned to adapt the Oooraurgrrra techniques to the boundless variety of environments these missions will present.

How many creds for a pair of realistic cosmetic eyes? Completely non functional. No cybernetic enhancements but will fit the vestigial eye sockets of a Miraluka to hide her race

[Stormhammer]

JaredSyn: Your secret is fine with me.

Saratek: Thank you for the endorsement.

A7ice: Good to see you again.

orcbane: Going for a half-breed?

Dylan Scott: I’m going to say 400 cr. They pass as real to casual observation, but will cause facial recognition cams to bug out. If you want ones that will get your character past facial recognition cams, you’ll have to pay 1,000 cr.

[Mrjoegangles]

God, I so hope the title is a Glen Cook reference.

Application - Ready for Review Name: Zox Grifeen Race: Falleen Background: Bounty Hunter Class: Scout 3 Description:   Zox is a typical Falleen male, green-grey skin, prominent spine protrusions and crystal blue eyes. He did stand taller than most despite a slim body shape, over 1.8m tall. As with most Falleen his body was built for greater speed than strength however his rigid muscles did show much strength to offer. To any who see him Zox is almost always dressed in fine clothing of Falleen style but reminiscent of the noble population of the sector he visits. Many of his weapons are hidden even when he is noted wearing his armour, a blade by his hip is often the only obvious weapon on him. Zox does wear a helmet when on the job but relishes opportunities to work in fine attire, he'd much prefer to capture a mark at a business event instead of a simple snatch and grab. Background:   Zox was born into the business, mother was a Falleen courtier and father was a velvet mask. Zox was surrounding by opulence and the taste for higher living, his parents were not a part of the upper echelon but were held in high regard. Zox was expected to follow suite but the calling of the velvet mask lifestyle provided over him. He had the finest teachers in etiquette, marksmanship and hand to hand combat money could buy. By 13 Zox was the second to his father, adept enough to be trusted for guarding or subtle take-down of marks. Throughout his many exploits with his father on their homeworld. That was before the tragedy came what is now known as 7 BBY, the downfall of Falleen forced Zox and his father to flee, however his mother was unable to escape the initial accident. The pair left behind they entire lives and were forced to use their expertise in often slightly hostile human courts. The Imperial controlled courts were a neutered facade at the best of times, Zox noted a stagnation of his skills quickly as most plots were vying for Imperial attention. Zox's father lost his taste for travel and decided to remain in the safer employ of human lords. Zox however looked toward the jobs for higher bidders, almost always correctly assuming them to stem from some noble figure. His more famous exploits included: the successful exfiltration of House Alda's men from a hostile pirate compound, A reconnaissance on a rebel base within the heart of 'rebel space' on the outer rim. Finally his most cherish success, the assassination of a rebel commander hiding on Taris with only a single shot fired. By the age of 21 zox had built a reputation among wealthier bidders that he can accomplish jobs swiftly and with the utmost discretion. However fate seemed to follow the young Falleen, his honey pot of Alderaan had been destroyed by the Empire, before their own Death Star was destroyed. Zox's opulent tastes were forcefully pushed aside, he refused to return to his father's side out of perception of shame on his part. Thus he travelled between whatever paying jobs were available, the nobles of the galaxy seemed slightly taken aback at the Empire's actions. Therefore Zox's well had seemingly run dry, until it was an Imperial communication three years after the Battle of yain. His reputation had not diminished, Zox laundered his finest clothes and proceeded toward the meeting point.

Application Name: Maiella Race: Miraluka (appears Human) Background: Scoundrel Class: Consular/Inquisitor (Way of Manipulation) Description: A young human looking woman in her mid-twenties (24), with long black hair, streaked and Dyed in places with Blue, shaved close partly on one side in ornate patterns. the only makeup she commonly wears is blue eye shadow around her steel grey eyes in another ornate pattern, her eye brows notched in places (all a facade to take focus away from the scarring around her eye sockets marking her as Miraluka and her eyes as fake) Standing around 5' 6" tall with a lithe athletic build, she looks like any other young street rat citizen of the galaxy. her weaponry hidden to give no outward clues to just how dangerous a weapon she is. Background: Descendant of the famous Miraluka Jedi Master Q'Anilia, Maiella was blessed with powerful force potential and destined to become a great Jedi like her parents and grand parents, all the way back to her famous ancestor. The Emperor had other ideas, the Jedi Purge. Maiella was spared the massacre of Order 66 by mere weeks, just young enough to not yet have started at the Jedi temple as a youngling, her parents took her into hiding as the hunt to eliminate all the Jedi began. The following years were hard but her parents did their best to keep her hidden and safe and teach her to access her potential in the force and follow the Jedi Ideals, but the young Maiella struggled with Jedi lessons and the more sensory and mental aspects of her teachings, although she possessed a talent for Telekinesis. skills which would prove invaluable in the coming years helping her survive on the streets.it was only a few years until the Inquisitors found them, putting her parents to death. Maiella would likely have joined them but her life was spared by the inquisitor known as Tenth Brother. Perhaps it was because he was also a Miraluka, or perhaps it was because he was taken by surprise by the 10 year old girl who somehow managed to pull his lightsaber from his hands to hers and ignited it to strike him down, her aura flaring with dark side anger to his force sight giving him pause, along with the anger in her eyes (another curiosity. he knew she was Miraluka but she had eyes..he later found out that they were cosmetic prosthetics fitted to the girl to help her hide her race and pass as human. the Miraluka known to be force sensitive and hunted just as the Jedi were) Despite his orders to slaughter any Jedi he found, tenth brother spared her life and seeing the dark side already taking hold of the girl he took her to Mustafar, to be trained as an Inquisitor as well. another soldier for Lord Vader's personal army. Under his tutelage and that of the other instructors the angry girl from the streets flourished, possessing immense power and developing a flair for Telekinesis, manipulating weaponry from afar and coupling it with her habit of carrying small blades about her person to propel towards her targets. Although she had always struggled to learn the mental powers from her parents, under the teachings of the dark side Maiella has started to tap into her telepathic abilities and is slowly learning to manipulate minds as well as she does physical objects, becoming even more valuable to Lord Vader who has chosen her to be part of his new band of Mercenaries.

i'll go with the ones that will pass facial recognition cameras (credits deducted on sheet), if only cause having the purely cosmetic ones could cause problems while carrying out Lord Vader's Missions and he doesn't take too kindly to mistakes so she will have had them upgraded to avoid that
