Hey everyone, I'm needing some assistance with a character build for a new campaign that will be starting in approximately a week.
This campaign will begin with four player characters, including myself, where each of us have be recruited to deliver a cargo shipment. None of us know what the cargo is, and none of us know who recruited us. After the initial mission, the party will work together to find out who recruited us and what their purpose is. I have been in discussions with the GM, and he said that we will being dealing with some scum and villainy groups as well as the Empire.
This campaign will begin with an Edge of the Empire feel before branching off into Age of Rebellion and Force and Destiny. My GM is allowing us to pick any career as long as our character's backstory gets them to the beginning of the campaign. In addition, he will be including morality into the campaign regardless of if the PCs are force sensitive. Also, each PC will be receiving additional credits and XP but our GM is stilling deciding on the amounts.
Over to my Character Concept . .
I already know that I want to play as a Shistavanen because they're my favorite species. I love their physical appearance, and their in game stats and abilities. In addition, I want to have him be a deceptive figure. Throughout his life he has survived and thrived in the underworld due to his deception/stealth skills. He has no love for the Empire due to their Xenophobic views and how their grip is tightening across the galaxy. With this idea, I thought about giving him connections to the Rebellion where he would have a duty being Sabotage or Recruiting. If he considers his fellow PCs to be "worthy" of joining the Rebellion, he will begin to recruit them into the organization. This will be a slow process due to him being an isolationist, like most Shistavanens.
The trouble I'm running into, is picking a career and specialization.
I've been considering a Sentinel Shadow, Engineer, Saboteur, or Spy. I feel all the specs can fit for the concept but I'd like some additional opinions.
Looking over all the career options, I would prefer to have this build,
Brawn: 2
Agility: 3
Intellect: 3
Cunning: 4
Willpower: 2
Presence: 1
With this character, I'll have a definite role within in the party. Even though I haven't talked to the other players about their characters, I know the one will play the brute like usual lol, one will play the main shooter/pilot, and the third will be a wildcard or perhaps a flirty character.
I'd appreciate any thoughts, questions, or concerns.
Thanks!
