I had once participated in an SW based rpg with several people, using AIM as a method of communication. If I can get ahold of them and direct them to this site, I hope to start a new one. If anyone here has any ideas for characters,post them here and then we can decide on a time period, and maybe start it up.

I've never participated in an online RPG. How is it different (or the same)? As for characters, I have dozens of ideas, so there's no real time frame constraint for me. I can make up a character for any era, and already have them made up for everything except the prequel timeframe.
I do have a question about that too, though -- should I only use characters I haven't killed off in a later timeframe in my fan fiction? Because that might narrow it down quite a bit.

Wow... I have so much to learn... So much to read... So much to write... So much free time... Well, this all looks like fun. I spend... well... whatever time I have RPing. I love character creation... and I have an astoundingly overractive imagination... so... yeah. I'm in, if anybody else wants to join.

Ok, well, in spite of the fact that nobody seems to be posting on my message **cries** I'll post some character ideas I had here. I'm terrible with names, though, so don't expect my characters to have them.
Name: Unknown Species: Rodian Weapon: Blaster Pistol Description: Tall, lean, yet not very atheletic. Prone to anger, and is rather trigger happy. Attire: Tends to wear a long red trenchcoat, and black pants. Armor varies to suit situation.
Name: Unknown Species: Aqualish (Quarra or Aquala. Not sure which.) Weapon/s: Blaster rifle, Fusion cutter, Beamdrill Description: Psychotic. Attire: Leather jacket, blue pants, red collared shirt.
Name: Unknown Species: Codru-Ji Weapon/s: Sorosuub BD-1 cutter vibro-axe, hold-out blaster Description: Cold, emotionless (seemingly) Attire: Navy pants, no shirt
And I was thinking about a droid character too.

Okay, I have characters too.
Name: Dort Tetsus Nickname: "Gizmo" Species: Rodian Weapon: DL-18 blaster pistol, Telltrig-7 holdout blaster -- sometimes uses a blaster rifle Description: Pretty standard-looking Rodian. Genius with electronics. Can fly, but prefers ground combat. Background: A member of the Old Republic Special Navy, assigned to a research expedition that never returned. Was discovered, along with his fellow survivors, cryogenically frozen 50 years later (around the time of ANH). Joined the Rebel Alliance and co-founded Xeno Squad, an elite all-alien commando unit. Later found out he was the last surviving member of his clan, due to the extermination of the Tetsus by Navik the Red. Has sworn revenge, but must first survive fighting the Empire. Attire: All black (suitable for covert operations). As nondescript as possible. Only wears armor if absolutely necessary (it weighs him down too much).
Name: Tenga Species: Aqualish (Quara) Weapon: Customized sporting blaster rifle with removable rocket launcher attachment. Description: Tall and muscular even for a Quara. The strong, silent type who very rarely speaks unless spoken to. Somewhat less mentally imbalanced than most Quara. Background: Legendary big-game hunter. Joined the Rebel Alliance and served with distinction at Hoth. Retired after Bakura. Now works for Yorkin Mining, the wealthiest corporation on the backwater world of Zuni, as a security consultant. Attire: Usually camouflage gear, which gives him the appearance of always being ready for the next big hunt. Wears light body armor sometimes. Has a necklace with three huge, sickle-shaped claws on it, presumably a trophy from his hunting days.
I have a few more, but these are my favorites.

For droids, I was thinking something along the lines of prototype synthdroid...
Name: Gyruk
Weapons: Slug-something... Maybe twin pistols, with rounds that release a cobbled-together chemical solution, capable of eating through human flesh very quickly. Fond of corrosive materials with ghastly effects. Wrist rocket launcher armed with rockets that release some deadly acid or another. Eats through flesh nearly as fast as self-made acid.
Attire: Usually clad in a stately-looking outfit. Dark grey vest with large shoulder-areas. Tight-fitting red clothing beneath.
Appearance: Very fit and handsome. Has above-human strength, though his synth-muscles don't look like he is very strong. Very pale skin. He was programmed by a clinically depressed scientist who manipulated his droid-brain to allow violent actions, and even worked in basic emotions, focusing on anger and sadism.

I thought you said you weren't very good with names. Gyruk is a perfect name for that character. I think he sounds like a good idea for a character, too -- in an RPG environment, where his violent tendencies might lead him to betray the rest of the party, he'd be very interesting.

Sometimes I can come up with good names. It depends what mood I'm in (starnge, huh?).

Ok... another idea... randomly...
Droid: Unsure (tell me if you have any good ideas. Maybe cyborg.)
Weapon: High-tech magnetic accelerator with improved accuracy. Laser sight mounted on top. Long barrel, and makes a high-pitch screach when fired. Can be silenced. Known to use an E-web blaster, when the mission profile allows it.
Attire: Whatever droid type looks like.
Personality: Programmed as a prototype, and thus lacks certain areas of brain. No sense of humor whatsoever. Has developed the knowledge to fix itself. Has installed a micro-shield generator inside of it's chest, in the place where a spleen would be present. Expert in the areas of aerodynamics, physics, and logic. Can measure likeleyhood of certaine events, and is an amazing shot, due to ability to quickly determine that target's likely position within a certain amount of time. Does not like to kill, but more than often finds it necessarry.

Ok... I'll try to make this the last one...
Name: Varshath
Weapons: Grenade launcher, loaded with all sorts of grenades. Most commonly seismic grenades ( kind of like the charges used by Jango in the asteroid field... only smaller). Other times, uses Luma grenades, Stun grenades, EMP grenades, and smoke/gas grenades. Occasionally uses missle tube, as well as proton grenades and thermal detonaters. Always carries grenade launcher.
Species: Gand (breathing)
Attire: Brown robe-ish things. Like Zuckuss.
Peronsality: Tends to disregard own life. Big music lover. Collects interesting-usually malignant- antiques, including a beam tube, various grenades, magnetic accelerators, etc.

** hits pinata out of the sheer joy of it. Watches as candy falls out, and picks up a tootsie roll.** Say, do you have IM? Ouch. Hope you enjoyed the Tootsie Roll -- I would've gone for a Hershey's Special Dark myself. ;D Unfortunately I don't have IM, but I could leave you a private message on your account here if you sign up. EDIT: Also, I wouldn't make it a habit to beat up moderators on websites you visit if I were you. ;D

Well, you're kind of asking for it. I mean, it's not that easy to whack a Marboruk... but a pinata... what are you supposed to do? Oh yeah, there weren't any HSD in there...

Well, you've got me there. I suppose it's better than being used as a weapon to hit somebody else (it's a long story ). So, have you noticed nobody else is posting here? I wonder if it's possible to do an RPG with three participants... I have a character similar to Varshath, only he's a Twi'lek and his disregard for his own life is more obvious because of injuries he's inflicted upon himself. I need to come up with a name for him (right now he only has a Xeno Squad nickname, "Smoky", which refers to the burns that cover most of the right side of his body). He's also got a red prosthetic eye and is missing one of his lekku. He's the demolitions expert for Xeno Squad, that all-alien commando group which also includes Gizmo, my Rodian character. For weapons, I was thinking something like the rail detonator from Jedi Knight. He'd also carry sequencer charges and thermal detonators, and maybe a holdout blaster.

Hello you smelly beings! Greetings Karda, nice to see fresh blood around..in this "Ghost town" Ok, if I want to start reading SW, waht is the first, second, third book I should read, so that I get the best, clearest story?

Smelly?!?!? Who you callin' smelly? The unmitigated gall... Anyway, I think if you're going to start reading SW, the best place to start is probably either with one of the anthologies (Tales From... books) or "The Courtship of Princess Leia" (a lot of people would tell you to start with "Heir to the Empire" first, but I recommend Courtship because it explains some things about Han and Leia's relationship). Other good early reads include "Shadows of the Empire", "The Truce at Bakura" and the Thrawn trilogy, of which "Heir to the Empire" is the first book. Also, as soon as you're completely immersed in the SW universe and want to tackle something with a little more detail, get started on the X-wing series. They're the 9 best SW books. And on the contrary, I didn't think I smelled this good. ;D

Oh, it's quite possible to have an RP with just three people... It's just kind of boring. I won't be able to get for a while... only on weekends... My parents decided they wanted to impress upon me the value of staright A's... so... yeah. I'm not sure if we can use jedi or not... but oh well...
Name: Yinq-Cai Species: Gran Weapons: Lightsaber ( Dark blue blade), Light side of the force Personality: He is a HUGE traditionalist. Very polite, mild-mannered, and friendly. He has devoted his life to the jedi order, after he was rescued from spice-porcessing plants on an outer-rim planet. He has an uncanny aptitude for tracking, and can often determine the location of something without any prior knowledge of that item. He not only has an astoundingly high pain threshold, but he is also a masochist. This makes him an expert duelist, able to withstand AND enjoy extreme physical pain.

I also wasn't sure whether to post my Jedi character or not. Come to think of it, she has two strikes against her, because she's a member of a species I invented. Here is a brief description of her, anyway...
Name: Xyla Species: Zebulonian (from a planet named Zebulon, which I also came up with) Weapons: Orange lightsaber, light side of the force Description: Looks like a large, bipedal, purple-skinned frilled lizard (the frill is rainbow-colored). Last surviving member of her species -- the Empire exterminated them. Very gifted prophet and seer -- she predicted the destruction of her homeworld in a dream when she was only eight years old, but nobody listened to her until it was too late. Wrestles with a fair amount of guilt and anger, which could later lead to the dark side. Fairly young and inexperienced as a Jedi.
I also have a Sith character!
Name: Evelyne Species: female human, homeworld unknown Weapons: Purple lightsaber, force destruction Description: Tall and slender, with a regal bearing. Strikingly beautiful, with long black hair and violet eyes. Has an uncanny control over the elemental force of fire. Background: Once a disciple (and possibly lover) of Jerec (from the Jedi Knight games), she sensed her master's death from orbit and ordered the fleet to retreat (my explanation for the sudden disappearance of Jerec's ships). She just recently resurfaced, still in posession of Jerec's flagship, the Mark II Super Star Destroyer Vengeance (no relation to the Imperial-class SD of the same name). Due to her immense level of power, Evelyne is probably more suited to an RPG environment as an NPC.

I also have a sith char!
Name: Grashan Species: Male Trianii Weapons: Red lightsaber, force lightning Personality: Enjoys a more fencing-style of lightsaber fighting . Currently aboard a pirate dreadnaught, named "firestorm." The captain is intent on making the Corporate Sector Authority cease to exist. Currently "serving" under Ploovo Two-for-One. Has plots to take control of abandoned asteroid base in a field near Mytus- VI.
