The Dejarik Table: OOC Thread (Page 1 of 2)

Oops... I just posted a question on Star Wars time on the other page.  My bad.

Here's what I asked...

I take it we are mercs?  Would you please set up a topic for our characters to post bios?  Then we can try and figure out how we know each other.

I am not familiar with the SW timeline, is your date of 2BBY.  Can you elaborate a little so that I have an understanding?  Thank you ma'am!

Mike

I'll pitch in what I can here: BBY in Star Wars means "Before the Battle of Yavin IV", i.e. the destruction of the first Death Star. It's used as a turning point in the Star Wars universe similar to the birth of Christ in Western Civilization, as the Rebel victory marked the beginning of the end for the Empire. In case you're interested, here is what's going on in the year in question: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/2_BBY/Legends

2 BBY means two years before that. The Empire is secretly finishing up the Death Star, the Rebels are growing in threat beyond a mere terrorist organization, etc.

We ARE mercenaries, bounty hunters, you name it. From what Ironette's told me rich people pay us lots of credits to show up and inflict property damage/murder/grievous bodily harm/mean words upon whoever or whatever has made them upset.

I have a question of my own, having seen Mr. Palmer's character post: Are we supposed to be using the Star Wars tabletop handbook to create these characters, or are we freestyling it? I was going to just use the format from Outbreak/Supernatural.

Is my character okay as is?  If not, please advise and I'll make the necessary changes.

Mike

I changed his DOB to reflect his age in 2BBY.  Need to add some flesh to the bones of the story, so that our characters can meet up and have at least one run under our belts.

Thoughts?

Mike

Yes sir, that works for me.  I also added a line for SilverRush's character, working with her on a minor contract with the Blackbirds.

Due to her command experience, I suggest Cyrenia be our captain, unless there is an NPC to fill that role.

Both of Rekara's slug throwers are in the Star Wars  Wookipedia, or some such site name.  I don't know how to post a picture or a hyperlink, so I am at a loss on that topic... :-(

Mike

It's good info for those wishing to see the details.  The closest comparisons of Rekara's slug thrower weapons we know today would be a tricked-out .50 caliber Barrett sniper rifle and a .50 caliber Desert Eagle pistol.

Would you guys find an armory thread, helpful or necessary then?

Test successful

Edit, also meet your Medic.

Use

followed by a hyperlink to the image in question, then close it with a

.

Uh should I give you guys like a pair of paragraphs about the black birds? Would that be helpful?

Ah, I see the problem Mike. That's the image on your computer, a local file. You need a url for it on the web. Basically, find the picture online, and instead of saving it to your computer, right click the picture and select "Open Image In New Tab". Then copy the url at the top of that new tab and put THAT in between the img /img tags. It should give you something that starts with http and ends with something like ".jpg" or ".png".

Silver, I tried looking up the Blackbirds from Star Wars, got an awful lot of completely unrelated stuff. Where did you get them from?
