Nui's Jewel Crew Recruitment Thread

[Jenno]

Currently we have four active crew members (links to profiles in character names).

Captain is played by Meira: Palas Hak

Pilot is played by Jenno: Lash Venedray

Slicer is played by Mara: Trevil Lora'nthe

Rescued Slave is played by Falcon: Kesslene Dagarr

Doctor is played by Otterling: Daemon 'Doc' Cabbat

Navigator/Strategist is played by Kellaishleya: Glem A'Quae

Grey Jedi is played by Rugs: Tsubasa Arus

Muscle is played by Silas: Ronan

Mechanic is played by Neology: René Aventine



We are currently going about picking up Trevil and Kesslene on Tatooine, we’re not looking for people to join on that world since we’re trying to wrap it up soonish (we also have Elav’s droid planned to join us on the next mission).

Here are the threads so far, in chronological order:

1. My Ship is NOT Ugly!
2. Alluvial dampers? Ow! That's not it!
3. The Compound
4. Dragon's Back Cantina
5a. An Evening of Work
5b. A Diamond in the Rough
6. Setting The Stone
7. Are You In?
8. Jailbirds (Current Thread)


Our plot discussion are can be found here, this should hopefully have any other information you require (a picture of the ship is in the thread):

We don’t really have any specific standards; we just want interesting characters to join and to throw into the mix. Your character doesn’t even have to have been created yet, if you have an idea, bring it up, I will most certainly have no qualms with going helping you out with any possible character ideas. Right now the things which would probably be most beneficial to the crew would be some skilled fighters, since we only really have one main fighter, the other crew members have some ability but combat tends not to be their primary skill. Also, an engineer would probably not go amiss, both Lash and Palas can perform some repairs but once again, engineering is not their best skill.

Of course, if you have an idea not based around these, still don’t be afraid to suggest it. We’re just a bunch of members looking for a roleplay we can enjoy; we’re not overly serious with the roleplay. And by that I mean it’s not based around the site’s main plot. This is mostly about the characters, their bonds and connections, their pasts and the path they might walk to redeeming their past mistakes. The crew has wit, humour and a lot of trouble following them.

Also, if you have a character you don’t want to get involved with the crew full time but perhaps for a one off mission when you feel like it, then let us know by posting here, we’ll take a look at your character and see what options there are.

If you have any questions then ask Meira, myself or any of the crew. Come join the fun.

Major Edit:

Hello!

I'm working on a new character that will need a crew to run with.
I didn't plan on getting too involved with the site's main story either,
and it would be great if we could arrange for my new char Talia
to join up with you guys when she's complete.

Sounds like bumping into the other crew could be interesting, I know I spoke to Jace about bumping into Ocelot's crew at some point in the future. But right now that's when it'd have to be, in the future, we've got a couple of things to do first in order to really build the basics structure of the crew up.

But yea, crews working together could be interested with the right story/plot idea. Who knows, some point in the future it might be interesting to have all three crews work together.

~Jenno

[Cavalry King]

You said you guys were looking for a fighter, like a pilot, Soldier type, or Hand-to-hand? Cause I was thinking about making this Dashade Bounty hunter which would fill a role as a combat kinda guy, but are you all pirates or what?

[Kella]

Glem A'Quae hasn't been approved yet, but I think she might make an interesting addition to the team. She's dark and sarcastic, but certainly has her moments of cleverness.

She'd probably aid the crew as a strategist in some respects, a navigator in others; she knows all the major trade-routes like the back of her hand, and many of the minor ones as well. She also has a knack for finding shortcuts; useful in metropolitan areas...

Anywho, if you have some spare time, It'd be great if you'd check out her bio, let me know if you think she'd make an interesting addition. If not, don't hesitate to let me know, and I'll get right on trying to find another place to plug her in. ;D Though, I know you guys are some great RPers, and I think 'twould be fun. X)

[Meira]

Cavalry: Not pirates, smugglers. And willing to do legit jobs as well, but we don't go around attacking people. So I don't know if a bounty hunter would fit in so well as a permanent member. Maybe he meets up with the crew because they're all going to to same place, for their own reasons, so he barters a ride or something... maybe helps out with something along the way.

Hawk: I'm definitely for merging crews for a mission or two. But like Jenno said, we've got some stuff to do before we could... but since you're still building your crew as well, it looks like we both can fill the time with other stuff until we're ready.

Kel: Sounds very interesting, I'll look over the bio, but a navigator and strategist sounds cool!

[Jenno]

Yea, this crew is less about the hunt or the kill and more about the jobs, getting into trouble, avoiding it and general character development. We want to create a crew that's fun to rp with, that gets along but also conflicts. We also like characters who are flawed and have unresolved issues from their past, or things we could use from their past for roleplaying events, I tried to do this with my own character. So yea, we're not some big group of the world's greatest, this is just for interesting characters trying to get by pretty much. And we'll see where that leads us.

And Kel, a navigator sounds feasible, Lash hasn't flown beyond Nar Shaddaa for about two years now and before that he had quite limited skills in navigation with being a fighter pilot. It 'd probably mean that they'd be working together fairly frequently, so I best see if they'd... get along with one another ;P.

[Apillis]

I was wondering if I could get my Miraluka Jedi, Magdalena in on joining the crew when she gets approved. RP-wise pretty much exactly what I been looking for, as it's character development driven RP, which I like RPing a lot due it having a more unpredictable nature. I was thinking of having her leave the Temple not long after receiving her Knighthood given all what happened to her, basically going on a pilgrimage of sorts you could say, distance herself from things. As a character she's disinterested in the ongoing war. she's far from being any sort of leader or crusader, and with her own Force Attunement at +2 she's close to that of being a Grey Jedi; which is fairly close to what her own opinions and personal points of view really are anyway.

How she joins the crew can be any assortment of ways, she might cross paths with another crew member and seeing the potential skills a wandering Jedi can bring they asked and on a whim she accepted, or maybe she felt something in the Force telling her to hook up with them or even help them, or maybe through an odd set of events joined them by "chance", etc etc. Eventually there may come a time where she leaves the crew, with the Force guiding her around who knows where things will take her? ;D It just seems like an interesting dynamic with the varying personalities of the crew, it would be utterly void of anything Magdalena would understand or be used to. As despite recently becoming a Jedi Knight she's still inexperienced in the sense she lived a sheltered life in the Temple; and then her learning the nitty gritty aspects of the galaxy from the various members of the crew and her travels with them would have it's funny moments. ;D

But, if you don't want a Jedi as part of the crew, no worries, I'll understand. ;D

[Mara]

Hmm... Glem might fit in, but I'm not sure (reading her bio, haha) if she would fit in with other people?

Though, a good way to introduce her would be to have her hitch on the Jewel to get to somewhere to deliver a package.
And then maybe she can decide whether she wants to be a loner any more.


And I'm not sure if a Jedi would be welcome, especially if yours is technically still with the Order, Apillis.
Maybe if you put her directly in the Fringe/Gray Jedi.... but as she's still in the Order, it would be doubtful for her to join a group of misfits such as us.

Especially if Glem joins, as she hates Jedi.


CK, that could be cool.... if you can figure out a way for him to join.

[Kella]

Yay for people who catch on quick! X)

Being forced to get along with other people would be very good for Glem... as much as she's glaring at me right now for suggesting it. She's used to working in a professional and un-emotive manner, so she'd play nice, at least until someone ticked her off. X) It'd be good for her to have some friends again... after Enna died, (kudos to Mara, for she knows who that is, ) Glem hasn't really had anybody... Thinking on forcing her to be social for a change. X) roffle.
((And hoorah for sarcastic commentaries! ))

Roffle, look at me, talkin' 'bout my charries as if they're real people...

Glem: That's because we are, genius.

o.O

[Meira]

I'm in agreement with Mara on this one. I don't even think Palas would like the idea of having a Jedi around. Not that she doesn't like them... she just, well... Palas is a smuggler. Her whole living is illegal, so she would feel really edgy around a Jedi. A gray Jedi seems more understandable, Palas would feel more comfortable knowing she's not going to be reported or anything.

That being said, I think that there are possible scenerios where having a Jedi around could be helpful, so I'm not saying definitely no, I'm saying I don't think it'll work unless we get a good story behind it.

lol, think of it as a challenge.

[Apillis]

I see what you guys are saying - it makes sense ;D I could easily rework her as completely having gone grey as a Jedi, her "faith" as it were, is already shaken enough to the point it wouldn't be outlandish for her to leave the Order behind given what's happened to her. My whole goal with her is to have her somewhat open-ended so she isn't constrained to just one linear view or course. That's why I had her for the most part "grayish" to begin with in Force Attunement and how I plan to RP her in regards to her own personal beliefs. But yeah, it wouldn't be hard at all to add to her Bio her leaving the Order becoming a nomadic Jedi - would just have to move her thread to Fringe. ;D As for a story, I'll come up with something and shoot you a PM see what you think, but if not up to it or don't like it - it's cool.

[Jenno]

Personally, I can see both additions being quite good to the crew but I think it will depend on how we introduce the Jedi character.

For Glem I see her and Lash having an mixed and amusing relationship, at times getting along fine and on other occasions bickering quite intensly.

I think having a Jedi onboard would be interesting for Lash as well, he'd probably poke some fun at her after getting over his initial cautiousnss.

And as for ideas. If your Jedi went grey recently then they would most likely not have a lightsaber, unless she'd constructed a new one straight away (the Order take the lightsaber of those who leave, but if they run away without handing it in then that mkaes them Rogue and they will most likely be hunted). If this was the case and she was without a lightsaber then you could try to keep the fact she's a Jedi a secret, which could be interesting in a number of scenarios.

But if you wanted her to remain part of the Order then it's not unheard of (I think this is true anyway) for Jedi to work away from the temple from great periods of time, years even (I remember reading about one Jedi who was still affiliated/performing for them but didn't communicate at all and jus tmoved from world to world doing good). So you could run with that.

Of course, an easy way for her to become part of the crew would be for your Jedi to save Palas' live, with Palas saying 'I owe you one' and Magdalena saying that she wishes to use this favour and travel with them a bit. Palas seems like the kind of person who honours the favours of those who would have saved her life.

But then, there are a number of different ways we could go about setting it up. I just really think that the addition of a Jedi (or Grey Jedi) would help mix things up a bit at make everything slightly more interesting.

~Jenno

P.S. I think that if we go with those above we'd only really need a mechanic to have a pretty much full crew. I'll see what I can do about that ^_^.

[Mara]

I think the idea of a gray Jedi keeping it secret that she's actually a Jedi is the most interesting option. She could look on the outside as just a regular down-on-her luck traveler or something... and than sometime in the future, maybe the crew gets in trouble, and she has to use the Force to save them.

[Apillis]

Hmmm. I like the idea of her running away from the Order becoming a rogue Jedi, who's gone grey by proxy. As just as the rest of the crew would prefer to avoid Republic authorities because of their illegal activities, so would she as she would want to keep the fact she's a Jedi secret.

[Kella]

Oooh, I think that idea sounds most wonderful. ;D Ebilness.

[Meira]

Yeah, I think if she keeps her Jediness hidden, it could mean for some interesting RP once the cat is out of the bag.

[Jenno]

So who are the ones who will be joining?

T46 - Elav
Glem A'Quae - Kellaishleya
Magdalena - apillis

Cavalry King, are you still thinking about having your character join the crew?

And if we get a mechanic that'll take us to 9, I think that will be quite enough.

If anyone thinks there's a certain member I should approach about the mechanic position (whether it be someone with a character that would fill the slot or if I should approach someone because you think they'd be able to create a good character and write well as part of the group) then pm me with their username and I'll look into it.

Should we have all these new crew members join on the next mission? Might be able to have the mechanic join later if the member has to create the character. If we can say for certain who's going to join then we can start planning how everything will go.

[Kella]

I'm in if you'll have me. ;D Glem probably wouldn't stray much further from the Core than the Middle Rim, in case that has any effect on the locale of the next mission. ;D

Since I have a tendency of lurking on the Application boards, if I see any interesting/fitting ones, I'll send you a PM and see if you think similarly. ;D (In fact, I think I have one in mind at the moment... hmm, you might be getting a follow-up on that.)

[Sentoyo]

If the space for a technician/mechanic guy is still open, I've wrapped up a fringer that may fit the bill. He isn't much of a leader or fighter, but is a decent enough guy and knows his way around machines and electronics. He is stranded on Kuras IV at the moment (Pirate raid) and once he is approved, I would like to see if I could have him join up with the crew here.
