Thread: Quick Poll What are you?

Alliance pilot, specialising in the A-wing. Leaph is a Lieutenant for the reason thatalthough he really is rather spiffy I never would want him to be a 'main role' character. I get sick of all the Luke Skywalker wannabes etc. In character, he is a confident sometimes cocky but level headed character when it countsand knows what he is doing. Hot headed without being naive summarises him I think.
Rather than being a Wedge Antilles type character, I always wanted him to be a pilot who was feared and respected in the Imperial Navy, but he wasn't notorious enough as to attract too much attention or even be known by name. More of a cult Hero 
.
He isn't out for respect. He just does what he does and accepts what he gets on the way. He fights for a better Galaxy but isn't blind. If the Alliance were corrupt, he'd speak out against it. History wise, he was the result of a one night stand between a Nubian silk merchant and a Corellian Dancing girl. He spent most of his life on various freighters, his father having left after that 'one night' so he never saw him again. His mother was often 'working' most nights so he hardly saw her and when he only became wise as to what she did for aliving when he found her dead at a refresher station one night (lovely stuff eh?). He was a drifter for a long time until circumstances got him tied up with the Rebellion. Interestingly, Leaph was rejected by the Imperial Navy for apparrent space sickness and suffering from disorientation. Strangely, he 'grew' out of this after he learned what the Empire was about and finally got involved with the Alliance. He suffers symptoms time to time. He stays sane by focussing on the job in hand and by clutching onto hope and the belief that he can mak a difference.
(Basically, this character has existed since long before SWG. I have several stories written involving his childhood etc which were used in creative writing class back at school 
)

thats a neat story, and not really all that cliche........i mean from what most empire citizens think, alderann was destoyed by the rebels
Also, you have to consider that this is a Galaxy consisting not of millions but trillions or more. What I mean is, cliche doesn't come into it so much because lots of people would share fairly similar stories. The only unforgiveable thing a roleplay based person can do in my oppinion is to try and infringe on the main story and try and -be- on of the main characters i.e 'I am Luke Skywalker's long lost brother' kind of thing. My character stays as far away from those types as possible. The only characters he'd probably meet would be Wedge or Ackbar maybe...
Attempt number 4 at replying... stupid connection...

Kind of hard to be flight surgeon in the cockpit of an interceptor. I used to gett into the ground game and would have considered myself a sort of sniper/field surgeon, but since I really couldn't care less about the ground game anymore I am nothing special... just a pilot... one of the mass number of TIEs that stream endlessly from an ISD
So with Pub 24 bringing POBs up to par... there should be an increased demand for flight docs, between pilot/ops and patching up the crew, you should be very vaulable!!
I know when my pob gets banged up - a good flight doc is priceless!!! Plasma leaks suck, especially in the cockpit!
Spacey wrote:Just a quick poll.... Oh boy we love those right?When you think of your SWG character, what do you think of?
I think of my character as a ranger, first and foremost. Being able to fly ships as an ace is just a side effect of his never-satisfied desire to see just what lurks beyond the horizon.
