Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 We mean the ones that aren't written with blood and mucus, Lev. =P How else was I supposed to generate enough fluff to generate character profiles in excess of two thousand words, except for with my excess nasal fluids? So, character making stuff, as was brought up before. Here it is. In glorious, Font 8. Copy and paste it somewhere. This just save space on the already off topic page. These are my secrets. Look, first rule to make a character - figure out what you want to base your character upon. It could be an old idea, a trope, or an actual original idea. Like - - I want to ride a worm.- I want to have an arrow.- I want to be a pirate/ninja.Then come up with a motivation for your worm riding pirate/ninja marksman. Figure out an appropriate appearance for them. Then, figure out a main motivating factor and from their expand the personality. The biography is easy - just base it on the personality. Some people like doing it the other way around, but... meh. If you need to, modify their equipment/appearance/personality that you've established retroactively. Then, when you're done, delete the entire thing and start over again with a new character idea. Rinse and repeat until thoroughly miserable. -Toa Levacius Zehvor Quote "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krayzikk Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Ilya, technology has moved on. Spellcheck is a tool to be used, not something to be feared. There is no sorcery behind it, no ill-intent, just a lot of ones and zeros. We call it "binary code". There's this really other cool bit of technology; canned air. You hold the delivery nozzle over the keyboard, you spray it, and you watch as the dust and dirt flies away. On a more game-related note, the Combat Wombat will be active either late tonight, or early tomorrow, depending on when my last crew member finishes. They're close, so it'll be soon.

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 A lot of spell-checkers just underline words that aren't words in red. If it's a word that isn't in the English dictionary, feel free to ignore the underlining - look the word up if you're not certain, but actual errors are infrequent, and primarily affect scientific jargon.

Relapse Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Name: Praeth Pil'omnSpecies: Twi'lekGender: MaleAge: 37Faction: Jedi OrderSympathies: Reasonably loyal to the JediRank: KnightOccupation: Lightsaber InstructorSkills:-As an instructor of Lightsaber dueling and usage, he is incredibly skilled, most commonly seen using Juyo, a form considered one of most difficult to learn, let alone master. However, he's been trained in all seven forms.-As is to be expected, he is not without skills with dual Lightsabers, and even prefers to use them in actual combat.-Wide knowledge of disguise, able to hide his identity with ease when needed. To do so, he uses technology developed by high-profile company, in addition to using the Force to distract attention from himself.-Coming out of left field is his skill in brewery- he is quite good at making and serving drinks.Force Abilities: Praeth's Force abilities are remarkable for someone at his age. Even though he specializes in Lightsaber combat, he is one of the more skilled among his class. For instance, while someone skilled with the Force could leap higher and faster than others, he could obtain about ten seconds of emulated flight if concentrated and in good condition. While someone could move objects with the Force, he could create a "blanket" to deflect actions of low Force power. Specifically, he can:-"Grab" or "push" things with the Force-Do Force-assisted stunts to an advanced extent-Command a greater power of agility, able to move incredibly quickly-Shield himself from the Force abilities of othersEquipment or Weapons: A Lightsaber enthusiast, he came into possession of an extreme rarity- an orange Lightsaber crystal. This blade he uses as his primary weapon, while his other Lightsaber, of blue light, is used in dual wielding. The first is a silver blade inlaid with nigh-unbreakable black rock. There are various golden knobs and a leather hand-grip for comfort. The second is more of a dark grey, also inlaid with rock- this time deep blue. There's also a grip on this one, however made of rubber. He also carries a machine letting him disguise himself (see "Skills" above).Appearance: Praeth is a well-built red Twi'lek, with dragon-like black tattoos lining his left arm and chest. His lekku both hang behind his head unadorned save for wrapping towards the ends. One could compare his body to that of a martial artist- slim, but with a lot of muscle. He has a face instantly recognizable from a distance- deep, deep-set yellow eyes and shining white teeth. He never wears robes- constricting and heavy isn't really the type of clothing he goes for. Instead, he wears tighter clothing and combat boots, even in colder weather.Personality: While blatantly masculine in speech and attitude, Praeth can sometimes be described as...bubbly. Quite energetic, it isn't difficult to get him excited about things. He aspires to be a Jedi Master, and can even get greedy when it comes to those aspirations. A firm believer in the power of logic, he strives to make as best a decision as he can in every situation. He teaches his students to do the same in combat. Speaking of which, his combat methods are most often practical, based on what he believes they will have to face. He encourages cutting loose and giving battle your all, but at the same time remaining calm and collected.Home Planet: RylothHistory: Growing up in Ryloth was always easy for Praeth. His father was a wealthy man and he could afford to spoil his son- until he was taken up by the Jedi. Like most Force-sensitives on major planets, he was snatched up early on and brought to the Temple on Coruscant. Quite adept in his abilities and naturally a skilled duelist, he rose in rank quickly. Originally, he had a green Lightsaber, but wasn't truly comfortable with the feel of it. As this grew to be a problem, he built his blue 'Saber. Beginning in the war and becoming a General, he was once part of an infiltration mission where he stole his orange crystal. This became his main weapon, and he realized his place belonged back at the Temple as a swordsman. This came rather easy to him, and he was eventually elected to be an Instructor in this area.

If only there was some way to bring the Sith back to their glory days when he was in command... all we need is a Star Forge and a fleet.Seriously, the Sith could easily have dominance over the CIS if they actually tried. If we had Revan in command, we'd have crushed the Republic and be well on our way to being stocked up enough to deal with any threat to the galaxy. Though rather than ancient Sith, this time, it's something... a little bit on the opposite end of Force Sensitivity. -Toa Levacius Zehvor Quote "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
