History:
Alright, listen up. I'm gonna say this once. You want to know about me, well I don't like talkin' about myself, so here it goes. They call me Ash, my real name is Arado Suna Harmakros. I'm the first mate to this smuggler. Been with him for a while now. Well anyway you want to know why I'm the way I am. I was born on a planet no one around these parts has ever heard of, Verga. It's the main planet of the Tunarus sectum system. Last time I was there it was held by the empire, not that that's a bad thing, my family has/had an illustrious military background. My grandfather served with the Empire during the 'Clone Wars', dad was an Imperial Admiral. Admiral Gunnhar Harmakros, he commanded a star destroyer. I don't remember much about it, I was only 4 when it all happened. but Dad disappeared during some battle a a place called Endor.

Mom, Zerieka, said that he was probably dead. Oh well, war is hell. My brothers, Hrugan and Fhain both served the Empire as Tie Fighter pilots. They would always send word that they were fine and in good hands. They said that they trusted they're commanding officer with they're lives. I personally think that they were aboard dad's Star Destroyer. But of course I have no proof. Anyway both were killed in a skirmish with some Rebel X-Wings. You see a pattern forming here? I did, not only were the Rebels killing the men in my family, but it looked like it was my turn. My mom enrolled me in the Imperial Academy. It wasn't what I expected. They taught us how to fire a blaster, fly fighters and if you showed that special initiative you got to learn demolitions. I like blowing things up.

I made it through the first two years. Then like something fell into place, I was going to die if I stayed there. My father and both my brothers, now Me? No ain't happening. I decided to quit. So I did and they didn't take it very well. As a matter of fact they decided to give chase. I got off planet and joined a ships crew. Over the years I picked up new skills and talents. Every now and then I see some of my former classmates and friends, unfortunately most of the time they are looking for me. There are a few that just look the other way. Then I found the guy I'm working with. He was looking for a first mate. I was looking for a job and he liked my sense of humor. I found out he was an ex-Imperial as well and had no love for them either. Isn't it groovy how that worked out?

Hey Bobmalooga thanks for sharing. :)

It looks like the dice for a few skills are missing, :confused: i.e. Brawling Parry, Pick Pockets, Survival, Forgery, Swimming, Lifting, Climb/jump, First Aid. Are the skills for all of these at attribute base or is this a typo?

Second, if this is a Star Wars character "a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away," what's up with the Terran references?

The skills in question are at attribute base...as to the 'A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...' I think it's fair to say every GM has their 'BSG 1980' moment...that segment of my game was mine...Not that I shy away from it, but that it could have been done much better. That part of the campaign started off with a group of Jedi having been here before chasing a virtual army of Sith through unknown areas of space...where they came to be stranded on a backwater planet and worshiped as pagan gods. The 12 jedi found their place and helped bring about and end to the conflict through a convergence of the Force, which arrived in the embodiment of a young child. Thousands of years later a branch of the 'Outbound project' ended up stranded on the planet and used their homing beacon in an attempt to call for help. The problem became that help in fact arrived in the form of Imperial forces...The party (including Ash...) showed up and help liberate the planet.

Was it fun? Sure. Would I do it again if I had the chance? If I did, I probably would do it differently.

The interesting thing is the group was there twice. The first time to drop off a couple of locals who had been snatched and used against them. During this time, while being questioned by a couple of locals one of them related the story of the Galactic Civil War to a couple of young college students. When they (with another group of characters, except for one of the original characters...) came back the second time, someone in the group told a local they were a Jedi and the person remarked 'You mean like Luke Skywalker?' When questioned about how they knew who Luke Skywalker was, the local told them they had watched 'Star Wars' and 'Empire Strikes Back', but wanted to know how the story ended and if Darth Vader was really Luke's father...Once the remaining character (who told the story, years before to the young college students...) saw a picture of a certain director he exclaimed, 'The bastard stole my story and I'm not even getting paid for it!'

Fun game...but in the distance past.

Also...LOL...and I like how in all of the references that are in that post the only thing you question is the Terran references...LOL!

I thought King Ash, Leader of the free men of Corellia, Savior of Altrus, Liberator of Hoth, Honorary Crypt, Member of the CCrk'talktu tribe, and Former Ambassador to New Alderan - were all pretty straightforward titles. ;)
