I'm fine with either sheet, honestly. I think you might get a bit more use out of the Driver/Slicer alternate version rather than the super pilot built, but I'll take either, you're choice.

I feel the same way, and will work on tweaking the back story accordingly.

When he was deployed on all those missions and sitting around waiting for the soldiers to come back, he'd login to his super secretive HoloNet BBS and learn all about how "The System" is being used to control everyone, and there's a secret shadow government.

Okay guys, I'll get the game thread up sometime tonight.

If its not clear, everybody is in (there's not an unmanageable number of you, so thats good.)

If anybody else wants in, please feel free to submit a character. Even after the game has started. I can fold you in no problem. There is no cut off date for this.

Also, everybody think up a nickname you'd like for the squad. Otherwise you'll be the "Roughnecks" or something.

Are we all the remnants of larger units? We could be the "Leftovers" or "Immortals".

Or there are old chestnuts like "Devil", "Hurricane" and various color-oriented names.

Yes you are a newly formed squad of leftovers assigned to a new ship.

I haven't decided on a color yet, still mulling that over.

[DATE REDACTED] - Battle of Brentaal IV - ARC-1984, during the Battle of Brentaal IV, upon realizing that the Confederate Fortress was in fact a Prison, suggested to Master Shaak Ti that the prisoners might be able to supplement Republic forces. This quick thinking blossomed the number of capable fighters under Republic control.

Oh sorry I've already distinguished myself in this battle should I wait? :)

So the troops on the Gunslinger are half of an Assault Regiment, so take those numbers and cut them in half.

One assault and one heavy armor battalion for a total of 1272 troops, 500 support personnel, 60 repulsorlift vehicles and 26 heavy tanks.

There's also 150 starship pilots and starships, because this is a ship.

Fair enough, just trying to streamline that but I'll ask when I get there :)

edit: as a heads up, I'm hoping for a Model 38 Sharpshooters Rifle, ideally with some explosive rounds.

Alpha-28 "Watcher"



Designation Alpha-28 was one of the original 100 ARC Commandos trained directly by Jango Fett for the impending Clone Wars. During his training Alpha-28 was designated for advance recon of an area for his team due to his solitary preferences and almost unnaturally good stealth ability.

During the battle of Geonosis, he earned the nickname Watcher. As the battle raged on around him, 28 set up a forward observation post behind enemy lines, calling down accurate orbital and ground artillery fire on incoming enemy reinforcements and rear positions. He was also personally accountable for the destruction of 78 Super Battle Droids, as well as half a company of B-1 droids as well as at least 2 AATs.

Notable is that no squad that Watcher has been in has taken a single fatality. This is no doubt in large part to his situational awareness and steady nature, ensuring that each action is well planned out and executed as well as the all Alpha nature of previous assignments. Time will tell if this continues to be the case as more non-Alpha clones fill the ARC ranks.

Preferred loadout:
DC-17m Blaster
Two DC-17 Hand Blasters
Combat Knife
Magnoculars
Laser Designation Kit
Two Recon Remotes

On call 24 hours, will post my quartermaster stuff. How big a bang would we need for the power stations and shield gen? He's make 3 backpacks of the boom, one for each target.

Also Arbitrary your character sounds way too badass for our band of misfits. Maybe you were confused by your deployment orders, clearly your outfit is in another castle Star Destroyer.

Pshh, Watcher is an Alpha. If he wants to stick himself into a bunch of new ARCs for shits and giggles nobody's really gonna tell him no.

I don't like the precedent, personally. Mustache specifically said there are no real ranks and we're all on equal footing. Your guy... isn't. But it's Mustache's call.

Alphas are the same as regular ARCs. They're just part of the first 100 that were cryo-preserved until the battle of Geonosis. I cleared it with him specifically before setting up the fluff and it's more to explain why he has 5 AGI than anything.

Edit: They also have their free will, but unlike the Null clones are loyal to the Republic. Watcher specifically doesn't like the idea of being in a command role since he's not exactly a social person, and the commander is happy enough to let him just be a veteran scout.

What sort of attachments would be allowable on a bow? I'd like to assume that it's unique enough that it probably would have come with said attachments, but most attachments wouldn't make sense on it, so I will defer to you, Mustache.

EDIT: Nevermind, the character creator has the appropriate mods programmed in! Would it be allowable for him to have a custom sling for the bow with an Quick Draw mod on it? The thing only has one attachment slot, and that's only a simple 200 credit mod.

EDIT2: Ha, my guy already has Quick Draw as a Talent, so having the mod for it is pointless. But I'll take the sling!
