How To Create a Character/Ship
Introduction
A bio is a description and history of your character combined into one.
Bios are really fun to make because you can be whatever you want to be. First
off think about the kind of character you want to play. Do you want to be a
dashing smuggler, like Han Solo? A brash pilot like Wedge Antilles? A
Jedi-in-training like Luke Skywalker at the beginning of A New Hope? A
headstrong diplomat like Princess Leia? The list goes on and on.
Remember don't choose a character just because he's "more powerful" or “he makes the most money”. Jedi characters, for example, take a long time to become
powerful and have many limitations. The dark side calls Jedi characters more than
any other and they have to be more careful of their actions.
Also make sure that your character fits the SWORPG campaign. This is a
Jedi Campaign so I would like to have few Jedi in the game. Since the
timeline is set after the Jedi Praxeum has been established for quite
some time, the Jedi are thriving, hence it's okay to make a young
Jedi character.
How To Make a Detailed Character
All you have to do to make your character is follow these guidelines:
- Player Name: (your real name)
- Player E-mail: (your e-mail address)
- Your Time Zone: (+ or -, in relationship to Eastern Standard Time, if possible)
- Character Name: (name and rank, if any)
- Template: (occupation)
- Species: (If you are an alien, a female, or a combination of both, who wants
to join the Empire, you better give me an overwhelming background as to WHY
you should be accepted into the Empire. Sorry to be tough on this point ....but
the Empire is THE EMPIRE)
- Sex: (male, female or other)
- Age:
- Height: (in feet and inches)
- Weight: (in pounds)
- Eye Color:
- Hair Color:
- Physical Description: (What does your character look like? Figure out height, weight,
eye color, hair color, and other physical qualities. Is your character in shape
or overweight? Attractive or plain? Be sure to list anything unusual about you
character, like tatoos, scars, bright blue hair, etc. You can go into a TON of
detail if you'd like. The more you make up, the more realistic your character
will seem, and the better you can play that character out...A Dark Jedi wouldn't
simply be described as: Big, Evil, wears a lot of black. More detail.)
- Affiliation: (Empire, New Republic, Independent, or other)
- Weapon(s) of Choice:
- Equipment:
- Ship: (see below for how to make a ship)
- Special Talents(if any): (You can put known Force powers here. [go to
The
Jedi Handbook for a list of all known Force powers.]
- Home Planet: (preferably a planet in the known Star Wars galaxy)
- Enemies: (can be other player characters as well as NPCs)
- Background: (This should explain your character’s origin and the events that
have made them who they are today. It should be AT LEAST 2/3 of a page long.
ONLY CHARACTERS WITH A GOOD AMOUNT OF DETAIL WILL BE ACCEPTED!!!)
NOTE: I will not accept "The best bounty hunter in the galaxy" and other
god-like characters. Please don't waste my time with "The Lost Brother of the
Emperor" or this "Wedge Antilles’ clone" stuff. I think you understand all that
by now though!
How To Register Your Ship
- Name: (if any)
- Craft: (The ships manufacturer, name, and model number.)
- Type: (The ship's general classification: ex. space superiority star fighter, corvette etc.)
- Scale: (starfighter, capital, etc.)
- Length: (in meters or kilometers)
- Crew:
- Passengers: (The number of passengers and troops that may be carried(beyond the
crew complement)
- Cargo Capacity: (This indicates - either in metric tons or kilograms - the amount of
cargo a ship can carry. This refers to the cargo's mass only, not volume)
- Consumables: (A measure of the ship's air, food, water, and fuel and how long it can
travel before having to stop for refueling and resupply.)
- Nav. Computer: ("Yes" or "No." Ships with nav computers may calculate hyperspace
journeys with their on-board computers. Ships without nav computers require astromech
droids to calculate hyperspace journeys.)
- Hyperdrive Multiplier: (x.5 is extremely fast and x5 is very slow)
- Hyperdrive Backup: (if any, same as above only usually slower)
- Maneuverability: (8 can turn on a dime and 1 just barely can move)
- Space: (How fast the ship travels at sublight speeds in space. 20 is faster than an A-wing and 4 is pretty slow)
- Atmosphere: (How fast the ship travels in an atmosphere in kilometers per hour)
- Hull: (This is how tough the hull of the ship is and how well the ship can withstand
damage in combat. 1 is weak and 8 is strong)
- Shields: (0 is no shielding and 10 or above is really heavy shielding)
- Weapons: (number of lasers, missiles, or other weapons)
- Modifications: (anything special you want me to know about)
- Starfighter Complement: (if any, how many squadrons)
NOTE: I have the right to accept, decline, OR change any character or ship. The
choice whether to accept, decline, or change is solely up to me. I will
almost definately end up altering your character or ship some so don’t be
surprised! (I’ll be sure to let you know of the changes though.)
