Ok, first of all, I'd like to encourage everyone to at least try to roleplay. It's a lot of fun and on this server, where there are roleplayers everywhere, it works quite well.


For starters, I'd kind of like to set a background for the guild, or a beginning. Obviously the clan didn't just sprout out of nowhere. So we should work on that.


Second, let me state that in no way does my character at the beginning even know that the mandalorians still exist outside of boba fett. I'm going to have to work out some type of storyline where I discover it and end up taking over. Because right now my character is a Rebel Rear Admiral that's XO of the Alliance's main starfighter wing.


Thirdly, if you do decide to roleplay, try not to slip out of character very much, it makes encounters a bit... odd. Don't metagame either, going around knowing everyone's name and their professionand their faction is baaad.


This whole storyline might make a good movie series like the one found here. Those videos were actually made on Starsider btw. So I'll look into it, could be cool.


So without further adue, I'd like to discuss the clan origins;


Where did we come from?

How did we get here?

What do we do?

Who are our enemies?

And ect.

I for one will not try and break it but sometimes it happens.



Should we start our own little bios and then build off that? or as one whole group?




Sig'Int Sii - MBounty Hunter / Carbineer
Sig'Int Atreides -Master Bounty Hunter / Smuggler / Ex-Master Commando
Lexina Tsulkuo - eventually MCommando, MCarbineer, 4/0/4/0 TKA

Well, the overwhelming majority of Commandos voted to be Rebel, so let's go with that.





We were taken from all across the Alliance and put together to form one company/division whatever.





Some of us may know one another from before our unit was created, many do not know each other. Some of us are nice, some of us are rude, some of us have trouble distinguishing between acceptable Alliance tactics and Imperial tactics, etc.





Keeping the unit together, without everyone killing each other because of personal differences, will be a struggle.





Just a simpleidea.

That sounds like a good one Ryu, that way there's an explanation for all sorts of Commandos to meet up. A cool idea I can think of is that a highly Charsimatic leader known only as (cool Commando or Mandalorian name) has come from nowhere and is quickly gathering up a force of the most capable, experienced, and effective warriors (a.k.a. Commandos) in the Galaxy. Both Rebel and Imperial agents (accounts for the presense of both factions) have been sent to infiltrate this new force in the Galaxy and perhaps sway it to join their side in the GCW. No one knows the leader of this group or has even seen him (except maybe a close circle) and his motives and purpose are as mysterious as his ability to draw such a great force of warriors to himself.

I think that maybe no one should play the role of the Leader but that it should be set up as a quasi deity type figure that is always referred to, but never spoken to. It would be cool if later he was revealed to be a great Mandalorian Leader bent on creating a new Mandalorian society to bring the Galaxy to it's knees (first the Empire, and then the Rebellion).

Well, just an idea but I think the most important thing is to think up a story that will account for all of the unique aspects of this guild.

1. Every member has Commando in their template.
2. All sorts of personalities from Noble to Psycopathic.
3. Members from all factions (mostly Rebel it seems).
4. Anything else I may have missed

Hmm, I was thinking more along the line of we are the last of the mandalorians, who managed to escape destruction and hide on Lok. Now, we're making ourselves known again after having re-strengthening our numbers. And somehow I get pulled in...

This fits that too, if the leader is mandalorian. Just maybe drop the whole (drawing warriors from across the galaxy bit). And you could be sent in as a rebel agent to investigate this group of Mandalorians only to find you are a Mandalorian! Also, do Mandalorians ever adopt into their clans? This would provide a neat way for some of us who don't want to be Mandalorians by ancestry to become such.

Actually, that fits well, considering I was originally thinking that my character would be part of a mandalorian bloodline but his parents were killed and he never found out about it...

Also, what if Ryusnesha was the "leader"? And then you guys have a gap and need a new mandalore...

Cool, anyone else have ideas? If this is what we're going to try to roleplay it would be good to get input from everyone.

Hrmmm....well, I like both Jash's and Ryu's ideas, but we could combine them in a way.....


The Mandolorians have splintered into various groups with the deaths of so many of thier leaders. You have Boba, the lone gunman, the Death Watch Clan, and finally you have the Rear Admiral XO Joken, who is trying hard to suppress his Mandolorian teachings and fit in to "normal" life. Unfortunately his past catches up to him on a mission when he faces several Death Watch Clan members, and his true identity is revealed to his superiors. However, they react differently to how Joken thought they would. Instead of seeing him as a butcher, an animal that should be killed, they see him as a savior to thier weak tactics and power. They decide to test his leadership and strength on Lok, to determnine whether or not he is fit for command. After gaining the trust of Nym within a matter of days, Joken is given his own squad of commandos to train on a remote base on Lok. After a month, Joken has turned the entire base into a sprawling base complex inhabited by dozens of commandos. Joken, embracing his past at last, trains the commandos in the Mandolorian ways, turning them into the most feared fighting force in the galaxay, rivaling the ferocity of the Imperial Special Forces. It is here that the Rebellion shall strike out against the Empire with the might of the flame!


Just a thought.....

I like Tyreal18's idea. Also if some of us also want to be mandalorians, it could be said that Joken sought out some of the last remaining mandalorians to help in the training. I would like to be one of these since I have a Mando name. But this story fits very well, since Joken is one of the few masters and the rest of us are still in training.

How about this.One of the last Madolorians, (Mando name) sought to bring back his species. So he abducted the soldiers in both the rebel and imperial militaries thatdid the best in basic training,and trained them in the ways of the mandolorians. These soldiers quickly learned the mando way and became one of the most formidable fighting forces in the galaxy. Thenin a surprise raid of their camp from a rival guilda decade ago, (Mando name,above) was killed. Now a new leader stepped forward(guild leader), and took control of the clan. To discourage any further attacks, the moved to the barren planet of Lok. Where they seek to continue their training...









Hm... It would have to be known that I wouldn't have been one of the abductees... I dunno, I think I like Tyreal's better...


Though I think it'd be better if there were a small unit of Mandalorian's already there, on Lok. They offer their services to the Rebellion, but since they're Mandalorians, High Command is very supicious, so they send me to investigate as an "ambassador." Somewhere in there the original mandalore is killed, I discover my bloodline, and end up taking over.
