Guess my Master Entertainer/Musician/Swordswoman isn't all that unique, looking at the responses. *trim* And a two-handed sword just looks so cool to dance Formal2 with....

That's what I have, too. And the curved sword with Formal2 is great! I love being able to damage in combat, and, if needed, being a tank for my guild. Then, after being beaten to a pulp, being able to play off their mind wounds.

I remember being at the village for phase four and taking out an instrument while waiting for the next sith wave. Some of the reactions I got were priceless. Then the inevitable spawning of the sith on top of us while I was playing a Nalargon and me with no armor on... /sigh That was a great quest.

Hehe...
The name's Omadda Szool... you may have heard of me... No? *curses to himself*
I've been playing since launch and became a Master Musician/Part Pistoleer/Part Creature Handler not long afterwards.

I mastered musician first and figured I'd probably go master pistoleer (I thought about rifles but decided they were too big to hold beneath a cantina table for the element of surprise)... but I remember the first time someone came into the cantina with a pet...
I knew right then and there that I had to have a pet that would be part of my performance.

So I ended up being a master musician out in the wild using my pistols to gain scouting experience in order to become a Creature Handler.
As I went up in both, I just couldn't decide between the two... so I kept them both and basically have a template that is spread a bit thin (AND I CAN'T PLAY THE DAMN MANDO!!).

Master Musician, Pistoleer 0031, Creature Handler 0404

Back then you could tame a Grand Wrix at novice CH... so I made that my first pet and he (Ozzo) has been my loyal side-kick ever since.

I actually sold myself out when the holocron/profession thing became known. I ended up having to grind through 31 professions... yes, ME... an imerrsive role-player that just wanted to log on with a complete skill set and "Play" my character. Heh, instead I went through every profession other than Bounty Hunter and Politician in order to unlock the second character Jedi in the old system. Funny thing is I have a 3444 Bounty Hunter on another server that I started a couple months after launch to enjoy a different character every once and a while. So eventually I got my Jedi (So I could role-play him and show these power-gamers how a Jedi should be, lol) and made the final push to get Omadda back to his exact original (Wimpy/Gimpy) template (Master Musician, Pistoleer 0031, Creature Handler 0404).

Unfortunately, I think I'm finally going to give up on musician, after all this time.
I love being one, but I so rarely perform anymore.
I don't like the role that the profession plays any more(Both Game-mechanic-wise and the AFKer community)... it's basically 106 skill points for character backround information.
If we ever get cybernetic limbs... I'm putting them on my arms and calling an end to my musical career... I may not even wait.
I always considered Omadda to be a bit of a smuggler/type and if he loses the ability to play music, I'm going master smuggler with the same CH skills and a bit more pistoleer skills (Or more CH skills and the same pistoleer, hehe)

So, I'm a combo of some of the most broken professions in the game... yet I have zero plans to leave and I prefer to keep those professions compared to switching to the over-powered ones.
Oh, and I hunt without buffs, make camps and like to hike in SWG's virtual wilderness.

Performing Waltz with a chidinkalu on a mountain top of Talus during a clear night does bring a certain joy to me.

Don't know how I ended up coming here and rambling, but instead of deleting most of this, I'll just leave it and hope someone enjoys the read.
