Special Abilities:
Enhanced Senses: Sullustans have advanced senses of hearing and vision. Whenever they make Perception or search checks involving vision in low-light conditions or hearing, they receive a +2D bonus.
Location Sense: Once a Sullustan has visited an area, he always remembers how to return to the area - he cannot get lost in a place that he has visited before. This is automatic and requires no die roll. When using the astrogation skill to jump to a place a Sullustan has been, the astrogator receives a bonus of +1D to his die roll.

Weight: 57 kg
Age: 24

Physical Description:
Handsome, rugged, and scrappy (as far Sullustans can be so), and slightly more muscular than the average Sullustan. Usually wears his bandoleer at all times. He has rigged it to where it slings from the right shoulder and down across his chest, around the left side of his waist and back up to the right shoulder and to where it hold five knives on either side with the hilts of the knives facing his right hand for quick draw. When the knives have been thrown from the front, he simply pulls at the bandoleer to bring the hilts of the five knives in back around to his front (thus the empty sheathes are now on his back).

Equipment:
Code Slicer, Security Systems Tool Kit, Ship-Jacking Kit, Gyro Grappler, 25 Meters of Fibra-Rope, PTP Link, Wide Scan Binocs, Portable Computer, Bandoleer w/ ten knife sheathes, several pouches, AXE STR+2D

Credits: 350


Weapons Damage Difficulty Short Medium Long Ammo
Axe STR+2D Easy
Knife STR+1D Very Easy
Throwing Knife STR+1D Easy 2-3 5 10

Backround, Personality, Objective, yada, yada, yada...
Be'aal Zay'buub always had a nack for mechanics, and always had an urge to see what was behind the scenes. Information, specifically information he wasn't allowed to know or see, always held his interest and aquiring that information was always top priority. The fellow Sullustans in his social circle always frowned upon his life's choices and pursuits.

His species being reknowned as starship and vehicle engineers, mechanics, weapons manufacturers, navigators, and space-faring; he was rather shy from the stereotypes his kind were developing among the galactic community.

As more and more piracy began interrupting space travel, he knew his people's ability to always plot a straight course were always dependable, and to him that also meant culpable and responsible for any mishaps. An alarming number of his family members had operated on ships that have been attacked by pirates, and even still, a more alarming number of them have died. Be'aal simply refuses to pilot a ship or operate the shields. He refuses to be responsible for any lives that depend on him in space. Because of his Sullustan talent for navigating, he begrudgingly plays his role for plotting the next course...but never has a problem manning a weapon on a starship if neccessary.

Still, his passion is for hacking into things and aquiring more information for the sake of aquiring it. Perhaps it is simply the process is what is enjoyable more than actually reviewing anything he may find.

Be'aal is also not one to back down from a fight either. Though he is more fond of tossing one of his knives into the throat of his enemy, or simply throwing a punch than he is shooting them with a pulse-wave weapon (which at this point isn't very good with one anyway).

Still, with all his quirks, Be'aal is a rather friendly sort to anyone who will tolerate his crass, and sometimes even rather obnixious behavior (especially in combat, and even worse if he is losing the fight)...and his constant smoking. He has yet to set any real goals in his early adult life except for what is behind the locked datapad or terminal right in front of him. He hasn't developed the business skills on the level of his contemporaries, and doesn't know or care for the value of anything. One man's trash is another man's treasure; and certainly his trash could be another man's treasure...He always seems to find a use for anything left behind by others and someone always finds a use for things he cares little.

Last but not least: Is fond of Twi'lek women.

Translation (sarcasticly): Yessa, mouse-boy'll plot you a mighty fine course, massa.

I'm working mine up now, an Anomid Jedi some such. The copy I have of the Tales of the Jedi Companion doesn't have the templates, so I'm currently downloading the massive file posted by Hellcat, 101 MB! Whew! Shocked

Just as soon as we get the sheets. And give your character a FP, otherwise he looks good to me. I know he's not Force-sensitive, but he does get one FP for starting out. Force-sensitives get two for starting out.

I forget who exactly it was who posted it originally, think it was RedFreak. Of course since I managed to get most of the sourcebooks it's been a while since I spent a lot of time in the PDF thread.

you can start with 18D in attribute and add 7D for distribution among your skills. Having looked at a few of the tmeplates in the TotJ Companion, I'd say start with between four and seven skills max for a given attribute and as few as no skills in that attribute if you feel your


So even if the character wouldn't have 18D in attributes to start with they get the 18D?

I think in the case of a character that doesn't have 18D to start with in attributes that I'd have to say to add up the total they have in starting attributes and subtract it from 18. Then add the remainder to skill dice as long as it does not go over 10D for skill dice.

Edit: never mind what I just said. If you have a character that get 18D in the total here's a new option. Give them the 18D anyways or subtract what they do get from 18D and split it between both skills and attributes.

I don't quite understand what you mean by splitting the difference.

Meaning that for example, a Twi'lek normally would start at 17D for attributes, I think I understand you are saying they now start at 18D for the game, but there's nothing extra for skills then.

I just need a clarification, and an example I think. Smile

This has not been my week.

As for the clarification asked for. Lets say that when you subtracted the total of attributes from 18D you had 4D left over. This could be evenly split between attributes and skills, giving you 2D towards improving both. Or you could break one or more of the dice into pips and maybe go with 2D+2 towards either attributes or skills and the 1D+1 towards the one that you didn't go with. You could again go even and put 1D+2 in both by splitting two dice into pips. Or you could put 3D in one and 1D in the other.

Also, what I said about giving the 18D anyways should have been to give the remaining dice from the difference to the skills after subtracting the difference between 18D and what you get or spliting the difference.

Any ideas as to what is a good specialization for Cultures? Besides a specific race?

Ok, the book says the specializations would be a planet or a social group. A specific race would fit the latter, and the examples they give of specializations are the Alderaan royal family, Corellians, Brentall, Prexian pirates. I'd say the Jedi Order and the Sith could also be seen as social groups as could religous groups, folks in the military historic groups, etc. I think Cultures could cover something fairly large or fairly small.

Rosk Manglor 72

Republic Security Agent
Male Khommite



Description: This hairless being stands quite impressive at 1.93 metres. With chiseled grey skin showing years of what must be dedication to the physical demands of his career, the khommite has a look of quiet, meticulous demeanor about him. Whether it's his seemingly always neatly pressed uniform, or his pulse wave blaster which seems to be kept brand new with constant polishing, Rosk shows some obvious signs of a desire of perfection.

Size: 1.93 metre
Weight: 104.33 KG
Age: 22 standard years
Force Sensitive: No
Force Points: 1
Dark Side Points: 0
Character Points: 8

Story Factors:
Narrow-Minded: Khommites come from a strict conformist
society, where creativity and free thought are undesirable
qualities. Although this should be role-played, it also gives
any Khommite character a -2D penalty on any skill roll that
requires creative action or long-term planning.

Equipment:Flex-Armor, Pulse Wave Rifle, Pulse Wave Pistol, Stun rod, comlink/PTP link, a med-aid, wide scan binocs

Credits 1000

Background: A family is a thing of the past on Khomm, to the point where Rosk hasn't even heard of a natural birth happening for about a couple generations. Cloning is now the natural way of life for his species. It's with some fair amount of pride that his race has perfected themselves that there is no further genetic possibilities for his people. His "Family", a line of Security Agents, one who has naturally taken over entire stations of Monglor Agents, all cloned off the original. Bred, and designed for security, the training of them begins when they are very young.
When the Republic was looking for continued support for the Galactic Republic Forces, it was only natural the Khomm would help support the galactic community. Rosk Manglor 72, is one of those agents that were selected before he was even born to serve in the Galactic Services. His training was specifically designed to fulfill the needs of the Republic, and as such, where there are Manglor agents in the service, they have suceeded. While Rosk 72 may not be the sole Rosk in the Republic services, that doesn't bother him. It encourages him thatt here are many more making the Republic a safer place.



If this is good, let me know what you think. If this is bad, keep it to yourself Smile

I had wanted to wait until we had all the character sheets, but even I am wanting to get started. So right now I'm going to say Monday at the earliest. Unless we see some more character sheets before then.
