Pen.... Paper.... what are these things you speak of? :D

No honestly I'm usually on my phone and often on the move so it's the simplest way to keep my rambling thoughts.

I try to put all the crunchy stuff when I'm building the character in the other notes section then when I feel satisfied I'll go through and feel everything out properly. It saves a lot of scrolling up and down

I figured :)

Plus that, why would I spend all my time writing something down on a piece of paper, and then have to transcribe it all to the computer? And what if the paper gets lost? I don't have a cloud copy of the piece of paper...

:D

In those cases I use InDesign. I have a full Folio template built in that program.

I'm an illustrator and graphic designer by trade . I'd better have those programs. Granted, I'm still working with CS4, but still.

I use the Yet Another builder, and try to convince people to accept the YACB character sheet printout instead of copying it over.

Sadly I live a Mac lifestyle and short of dropping some money on a copy of windows I have no access to such wonders as a character builder.

Here's a link to a high res drawing of Sixty Six , commissioned by his original GM.

I'm an extreme noob with Dyscalculia (similar to dyslexia but with numbers & memory) so I probably will need mechanics expounded upon frequently (RAI not RAW please). I realize this may be a drag, and I don't want to slow the game down, so I will do my absolute best to do my own research first.

Appreciated! I don't mind questions but do ask that players "roll with it" to keep things flowing. I'm not looking to screw anyone over; I'm here to challenge you but I'm also on your side. I want players to feel like their PCs are cool.

As such, rules-lawyering (and also arguing between players) won't be tolerated.

Fantastic!

I wish I had talent like that! Or money to commission talent like that!

An action shot of our characters together would be so epic! I'm not holding my breath though.

I don't think that tramp is quite to the level of freehanding that quality he is a talented graphic artist and is capable of doing an action shot of all the characters together.

I'm pretty sure that wasn't entirely freehand. I'm sure the artist used a straight edge to keep the lines crisp and straight.

Welcome to the club. Though I love my Mac. Even though I may not be able to use Oggdude's generator, I wouldn't trade my Mac for a PC for anything.

Whatever they did it's freaking awesome! I just wish I could be bothered making a lo-res version to put on the character sheet. If I put this version of Star Wars sheets breaks!

Oh I am so with you there, it is such a nicer environment even if third party developers don't exactly put in their best effort.

I am too used to all the third party stuff available to windows machines. I can't give it up :)

What's the resolution on it?

No idea! It's a big file though and re- scaling it is only half the problem, I then have to upload it to somewhere on the Internet for SWsheets to pull from. And I can't bothered doing that either!

I am considering getting a print made for games area though

It is a really fun character, a Brawn based mechanic who's relearning the ways of ships. It was created before rogue one, but I definitely see a lot of K2-SO in it, tough brawler with a deadpan personality and technical programming.

My first thought with advancement was that during the rebellion era he got in with the rebels. He probably had a strong bond to an agent, similar to Cassian I guess. That's where the Vanguard comes in, a tough walking shield for the rest of the team.

I really like how he looks and acts similar to K-2SO . Was that just coincidence or intentional?

I stumbled across a new Star Wars character that looks and acts very similar to what I had envisioned my character to look and act like during the time of TFA (w/o armor).

Kirak Infil'a

I was going for a younger athletic warrior version of 'Father' from Mortis . Looks like they beat me to it, those no-good Force-wielding mind-readers!

The character was developed before Rogue One, but my portrayal of it shifted slightly with that movie. The artwork was commissioned after the movie so K-2SO was a real influence on that.

originally I had come up with the concept while wondering "what would that Droid do?" When I rewatched TFA and saw this at Maz's castle

I really like that! I can't wait for these new characters to join.

That robot and Sixty-Six remind me of some sketches I made in highschool for a book report on Isaac Asimov's iRobot .

Interesting that the robot in the iRobot movie was played by the same actor as K-2SO, Alan Tudyk. Top-notch actor and perfect casting imo.
