The Star Wars OC topic for discussion and role-play help!

Xonos_Darkgrate1 2017-10-21 18:56:57 UTC #1

Hey there guys, I just recently made a role-play topic for all the Star Wars OC people to participate and have fun in. You can check it out here. Anyways, this is the topic is where you can discuss anything you'd like about that topic. (though I'd prefer you to put arguments about it here instead.)

This topic is not exclusively about that particular topic though. If you have any questions about it or just Star Wars OCs in general, feel free to post them here.

Here's a list of what this topic is for:

One: You may post your OC profile here for reference! Remember not to make it OP.

Two: You can ask questions about the Star Wars OC role-play topic here as well! This includes inquiries about what is and isn't acceptable in it, collaboration offers, or how things would work in that topic.

Three: You can put any posts that aren't strictly Star Wars OC role-play here. Such as compliments, criticisms, or comments.

Anyways, this topic isn't exactly meant for you to have much fun it, but if you do then that makes me glad! Have fun I guess!

Here's what your OC profile should look like:

Xonos_Darkgrate1 2017-10-21 19:42:58 UTC #3

Name for the record: Xonos Darkgrate
Height: 6'1
Eye color: Brown
Hair color: Black
Species: Human
Race: Asian
Language:
'Common' tongue / mask can translate certain phrases into other languages
Occupation:
Bounty Hunter/ Mercenary / Gun for Hire
Force sensitive scale:
.78 / maximum power shown at having minimally increased sense of incoming danger
Mental Capacity:
Higher-then-average cleverness / has particular talent in "setting someone off" / serious when he needs to be / not easy to interrogate as he's adept at lying as well
Notable Skills:
Particularly brutal in hand-to-hand combat / rarely misses with his modified-ion pistol, though that may be contributed to his cybernetic eyepiece / has skill with the plasma-blade / experienced in high-profile take-downs
Weapons and notable gear:
A modified-ion pistol, it can't hit through blast-proof doors but has sufficient power to shoot through the average wall or door or even person / a plasma-blade, can be activated and used to slice through harder materials and can withstand a Lightsabers's damage for a considerable amount of time / Bio-tech material clothes, it clings to him as not to create a baggy form and resistance in running or other movements / small blast-tech plates over chest, shoulders, and back to protect him from point-blank blaster shots, it does not deflect other hits and sniper shots, it eventually wears out and requires replacing or repair from time to time / has a cybernetic eyepiece over his right eye that, when twisted to activate, gives that eye night-thermal vision. This comes in handy if a target runs behind a wall or another object or if it is dark / has a respirator that may to-a-limit translate the 'Common' language into a select few other dialects. It also allows him to breathe through hazardous substances for a limited time. It does not provide underwater breathing.
Known hangouts or lairs:
No known permanent hideouts, but is occasionally seen in Mandalore purchasing black market weapons or fighting material. Has also been spotted in Christophis purchasing crystals as well. Authorities believe that the crystals are used to create the specialized shots from his pistol.
Known allies and alliances:
Has been seen with the Marauders. Collaborating with individual members of that team occasionally as well.
Known enemies and rivalries:
Has been seen fighting rival bounty hunter gangs with the Marauders. Has taken down other bounty hunters before. Any attempts of an assassination against a Jedi has not been recorded and no proof has been provided.
Nicknames or call-signs:
"The black and white"
"One eye"
"X"
"Darkgrate"
Quotes:
"Unbeatable? You haven't met me yet."
"You'll [destroy / etc.] me? We'll see about that." OR "You're going to [destroy / etc.] me? Want to bet?"
(reloads pistol) "Let's get this over with," (raises pistol)
Miscellaneous:
Almost always wears things with a black-and-white color code / a more cynical person, he doesn't often team up with people who he absolutely has no faith in / doesn't stop a mission until it's completed or he is completely incapable of finishing

Hey, guys! Just a quick thought:
Some of you may be wondering just how many OCs you can have here for Star Wars. The answer is: AS MANY AS YOU WANT.

But... in this role-play, the maximum you can add to the topic is two. As you don't want to confuse people too much with what you write. Feel free to MAKE a maximum of THREE in this topic, but you can only add TWO to the actual role-play topic. Please don't add more than that. Thanks! If you have more than three, then please post your excess OCs in the Star Wars topic as not to clog up this one. Once again, thanks!

Random anything

Ariella_Newheart 2017-10-21 21:15:36 UTC #10

Sorry to ask, @Hanna_Brassheart, but could you change this:

to simply:

since the original one seems a bit extreme (or so some people have told me ) Thanks!

Xonos_Darkgrate1 2017-10-21 21:17:03 UTC #11

Just so you guys know, PLEASE include what timeline/era your character is in. That way we don't people from the Clone Wars messing around with people in the First Order. Thanks!

Ariella_Newheart 2017-10-21 21:19:10 UTC #12

I guess Ari's in the Clone Wars era? That was before everything in Star Wars got COMPLICATED....

Cinnar_Ratchetloop 2017-10-21 21:20:28 UTC #13

Uh... Clone-wars wera then XD

Xonos_Darkgrate1 2017-10-21 21:39:08 UTC #14

Yes, of course you can! Please post further inquiries here though so you don't spam the other topic. Make sure to agree to the terms and rules first though! Feel free to post your OC in this topic them post your story in the other. Have fun!

Ariella_Newheart 2017-10-21 21:45:53 UTC #15

Btw, what was it that you didn't like about my previous Star Wars OC? Just curious....

Xonos_Darkgrate1 2017-10-21 21:49:09 UTC #16

Uh... I didn't NOT like it. It just seemed a bit... not real? It didn't feel like a Star Wars character that you would be. That's all. Like you said, I think it was the colors that threw me off. O_o

Ariella_Newheart 2017-10-21 21:51:07 UTC #17

the colors...I'll keep that in mind

Xonos_Darkgrate1 2017-10-22 01:35:06 UTC #18

@Kieran_Candleview1, @Spector_Otterquill,
do you guys disagree with something on the rule-set? O_o

Iliara_Mustardtop 2017-10-22 01:51:07 UTC #19

@Xonos_Darkgrate1 So...this is less of a “consecutive posting story” than the Marauders topic? I’m confused. Because you said

Like, say you posted part of a scene where you’re bounty-hunting in Coruscant...could I then intertwine that with my character running across your character while doing something else? Or would I have to post “Elsewhere in Coruscant” and keep it to myself. Because I like trying to write other people in.
Idek if that was clear, please advise.

Xonos_Darkgrate1 2017-10-22 02:31:14 UTC #20

Hey guys! I just released my part in the Star Wars OC topic! Go check it out when you can!

Also, @Iliara_Mustardtop, in regards to your question:
It is fine to include a person's character in what they already wrote. Like you said, if someone says that they were in Coruscant then feel free to say that you saw them running around in Coruscant. You cannot, however, say that you saw them going on a ship, saying something to you, or etc. Stuff like that. Get what I'm saying?

Feel free to ask others if you can collaborate with them in their story, then you two can get a specifically laid out rule that you both can follow when writing your stories. Basically, don't add or remove things to another person's story unless they allow you, and even then, make sure that you consult them about it before doing anything very drastic as it is still their character.

Other than that, it's perfectly fine to be in the same place at the same time. Just not changing things too much.
As a side note, just be careful to remember what particular timeline someone is in and you are as well. You don't want to be in the Clone Wars and accidentally change someone's story in the Empire-era. Just be careful and you should be fine!

That's why you're allowed to have multiple OCs. That way you can be in at least two different eras and have a wider pool of other players to collaborate with.

I hope that this all makes sense,
