Seriously, signing up at Photobucket is free and easy. I literally use them for nothing but to occasionally post pictures on some forums.

Will try.

Do these ones show up?

Do these ones show up?

I can see these.

FWIW, I am able to see Jasen and Tion's, but the Hutt's isn't showing up. That's true for in the posts and at the various links. I can see Mouthymerc's posters.

Same here

Added them to photobucket. I'll post them latter.(GMT:-5)

I can't see any, so would love to see the photobucket link.

Question: What website / forum will this pbp game be played?

Ok at this point, we've got more Faces than a yearbook. Do you think we could branch out in future submissions to make a more rounded party? We're lacking a healer or anyone with more than one rank of Piloting (Planetary), which probably isn't good.

I was thinking planetary for my build. Wasn't looking to be on the social end since I was picturing a bounty hunter. Looking at Survivalist so that I could track people well and then round out with Marshal.

Does this work?:

Yes, it does. At least I can see it. Thanks.

Edit: Also, just to note, if there are lots of players in the group that want to focus on social skills, then it is up to the GM to incorporate more social encounters and elements to the game. Frankly, they are the easiest ones to RP through and take up much less time than combat ones. The mechanics are easier and generally everyone can stay engaged without worrying about getting 'incapacitated'. I usually prefer technical and social encounters over combat ones, but that's just me. We could have an entire group of diplomats if that's what everyone wanted to play. He's just limited in the total number of players he can let in the game.

Jasen is part social.

Please, do not post until I am done going through the new posts. I will let you know when that happens.

If applications are still being considered, I'd like to submit these two characters. The first is a Hutt Colonist - Politico. The second (since the OP said to give an alternate for Hutt submissions) is a Chevin Colonist - Politico.

Both rely heavily on their social skills, but both can also hold their own in combat. They do not have any technical skills. Both have background reasons for being against the use of slavery, so any PCs belonging to Hutt slave species don't have to worry about them trying to turn them in. I would love to play the Hutt (Hutts are one of my favorite species to RP), but I would also enjoy playing as the Chevin.

Hutt

Chevin

Backgrounds are already fairly detailed, but let me know if you need more information about either character.

I would vote for Shoola the Hutt first, then Bargos the Hutt as the group benefactor. Neither character would want to answer to a Twi'lek. Also, both characters may have some direct or indirect relation to one of the Hutt benefactor's kajidics.

Welcome to the recruitment thread. Unfortunately, there is a number of issues with your submissions. The first is the obligation, in which half of the obligation is actually to the benefactor of the group. Second, the backstory makes it a bit harder for me to integrate your character into the campaign, being that it is set in Hutt Space. I don't mind the Hutt connection, but from a story stand point it makes your characters that much of a threat.

The main reason for the group to be recruited is that they are relatively unknown to the greater Hutt politics. In your case, that would totally invalidate that mission.

Ok at this point, we've got more Faces than a yearbook. Do you think we could branch out in future submissions to make a more rounded party? We're lacking a healer or anyone with more than one rank of Piloting (Planetary), which probably isn't good.

I don't mind it too much. However, I do intend to throw some "combat" situations at the group, not all of which will be lethal.

In addition to the Faces comment, there's also not very many non-human/non-standard submissions. To put it another way, there's too many humans walking around in plastic masks and face paint, as well as being from Hutt Space. A bit more diversity is more than welcomed.

Let me plant a flag on piloting (planetary). I'll have a submission for a Driver (like) guy by mid morning EST.

• In addition, if a character has access to either Duty or Morality, that can also be the source for extra credits and/or experience. However, only one source may be used as such.

I actually reduced the obligation to 5 pts to the patron and a 5 pt bounty and used this option for extra credits to reduce slightly the group's obligation (which will probably be quite high at the beginning, like Sarone mentioned).

Thank you. The other reason for allowing AoR and FaD is to see how well it integrates with each other.

So I've rewritten my concept to be more shooty. I dropped Rapid Reaction and a rank in Cunning and spent my last 5 character XP on Agility 4, plus my 10 Obligation XP went on another rank of Ranged (Light). Overall I've focused more on shooting and flying than on anything else.

Sweet. That can really help you and the group out over all.

If it would help fill a hole, I'd be happy to move my second rank of deception over to computers or skullduggery. Any of the three can be used with the gambling mechanic and wouldn't be too much of a stretch based on Tion's back story. I tired to build him to cast a wide net of support roles, basically being good at several things rather than great at a couple.

It sounds like you are going for a jack of all trades approach. That being said, don't be surprised if you wind up getting a bit more of a reputation in the group.

http://swsheets.com/c/cj3wjb7lf-klyp-taccag

Klyp Taccag, Mirialan Sqaudron Leader. (still needs background)

Thinking, grab the Squad Leader driver talents as a priority and then drift further into either Commander or Ace as the game progresses.

Bargos the Hutt sounds cool.

Thank you for the submission. One thing I am going to point out that I should have mentioned before is that most characters should not be from Hutt Space. The idea here is that the group is relatively unknown to the wider Hutt Politics is the main selling point.

That being said, I do like the concept and is one that can easily be massaged and refined. I'll contact you via pm for this.

I've updated Tion's background to include Plesh and make the change from slaves to criminals who basically eventually become indentured servants. Also, I moved one of my free chargen ranks from underworld knowledge to skullduggery, giving me two ranks each in skullduggery and deception.

My vote would be for Bargos. I could see Tion assisting the Hutt's organization as a way to start planting seeds to take down Jeth Achoa's.

I like the refinement of the background for the character. It also provides a bit more use for me in regards to the campaign.

While there might be Imperial Bounties as well as Hutt ones, it should be noted that almost everyone in Hutt Space has crossed someone else. In addition, no one is really going to collect on a bounty unless it is worth the time and energy.

None of the wanted posters are showing up for me, I'm afraid. Still, I assume they are a nice touch!

I can't see any, so would love to see the photobucket link.

Question: What website / forum will this pbp game be played?

It'll be here on the FFG forums, under the Edge of the Empire board.

Duly noted. That being said, the group will be in Hutt Space and dealing with groups who don't always "talk first, shoot later". In addition, there will come a time when vehicle handling will need to be addressed and I do not intend for the group to be stuck on Nar Shaddaa forever (let alone just stay in the same system as Nal Hutta).

This is also why I am making "Twice a week posting" a major requirement.

Is there anything that I am missing? (End post)

FAQ:

Character Backgrounds:

• Character backgrounds will be considered when going over character applications. In addition, where applicable, I may ask to include a few of the campaign NPCs as well.

I would say that this FAQ is a little misleading if you want the PCs to be "relatively unknown to the greater Hutt politics."

Welcome to the recruitment thread. Unfortunately, there is a number of issues with your submissions. The first is the obligation, in which half of the obligation is actually to the benefactor of the group. Second, the backstory makes it a bit harder for me to integrate your character into the campaign, being that it is set in Hutt Space. I don't mind the Hutt connection, but from a story stand point it makes your characters that much of a threat.

I don't recall mentioning any of the benefactors in my obligation or background. You might be mistaking Agarra's cousin Begela with the benefactor option for Bargos, unless the benefactor is connected to the Vanderijar kajidic (which would be a crazy awesome coincidence for my character, but I could see how it would be bad for the group). In any case, I doubt I could change the background so that he is not 'connected' to Hutt Space in anyway, so I don't mind him being taken out of consideration. I've already played a version of this character before anyway and now that I think about it, I'd probably rather play this new Chevin character instead.

Question: Is the Chevin character a more suitable option for the group? He is not well known in Hutt Space, though he has lived in it his whole life. He is somewhat connected to the Vermilic kajidic, but not directly and his Obligations don't involve any Hutts.

Or is there an issue with him having a stance against slavery or some other issue with his background or Obligation? If so, his BG and Obligation will be much easier to modify than the Hutt's.

Or, I can make a new character that doesn't have any connections to Hutt space at all. I was under the impression you wanted the characters to have some connections though to draw on the backgrounds from, but if that's not the case I have an idea for a Pau'an Diplomat that I would like to explore. In any case, thank you for the consideration. Whatever the decisions are player wise, I think it will be a fun game and hope all participants enjoy it.

Lastly, since I'm changing my preferred character to the Chevin, I'd also like to change my vote for benefactor to Bargos the Hutt.

Then let me clarify: if the character has an active role in which the leadership of a Hutt Clan(s) know of the character, it will not be helpful.

In the Hut's case, it was the fact that the clan leadership approved of a bounty on the character for their destruction. That is a huge leap of going from "relatively unknown" to being very well known. In addition, since the campaign was going to be in Hutt Space any way, it would have been an opportunity for every swinging blaster to come after the character thirty seconds after making it planetside.

In essence, I would like to be able to work with the group towards making enemies, not have them appear at the doorstep.

I'll PM you about the character. For now, though, it is more to do with some red flags going up than anything.

Last, while you can create a new character, I would discourage making a Face character as that is becoming too common place.

I'm thinking about playing a HK-Series assassin droid instead of Jasen.

I'm thinking about playing a HK-Series assassin droid instead of Jasen.

Not trying to dissuade you, but hiring out as a bodyguard with no skills with weapons sounds a bit off. Are you sure the Outlaw Tech is the way to go? If you want to tinker but also function in combat, perhaps consider the Gadgeteer Bounty Hunter? As is the skillset the HK brings is pretty similar to my mechanic/slicer...

Forgot about Bounty Hunter, I think that was what I was thinking of.

Well my concept leans more non human . I'm debating between Twi'lek and Mirialan.

Interesting build. Sounds like you're going the lawman/bounty hunter route.

Thanks. I'm still piecing the background together in my mind. Lawman/Bounty Hunter is the general jist of it. Since I got the idea from watching Brisco County Jr he is more along the lines of a cowboy than a law man in the strictest terms. I expect him to try to do good when possible, but life happens. Though he hopes to one day retire to Naboo and get a nice vineyard going

I should have a sheet done sometime next week. Question though, do I need to purchase my equipment when I submit the sheet or can I leave that for later? I was thinking about asking for a bit of help with finding the right kind of gun.

Sarone, I'd pull the quote but I'm on my phone so trying to isolate the stuff's a pain in the butt. Anyway, I'm glad the backstory refinement will help. A question I have is to what you were referring by getting a reputation in the group. Could you elaborate? Thanks!

@Sarone - Here is my re-submission based on your recommendations: Rogua - Gamorrean - Marauder

Please withdraw my previous submissions because of the background issues you mentioned and let me know if you need me to make any changes to this character as well. Thanks.

Additionally, if there's a concern about too many humans, I'd be happy to switch Tion to a Devaronian. Since I don't have Nexus of Power I totally forgot Devaronians are a playable race now. I can easily reconfigure. I would need a bit of info as to their species abilities and stay block, however. I quite like Devaronians anyway.

I summit Edad Sul.

A Duros Archaeologist/Pilot with a "minor" obsession...

(I'd vote for Bargos if selected)
