This is Kellston, requesting permission to land

[Kellston]

This is hopefully going to be the hardest thread I write... who am I to suggest you actually want to know anything about me?! Well, even if you don't, I'll follow the customs of an introduction and do my best.

My name's Mike, but really Kellston serves me so much better. I'm 21, from the UK, student-come-bingo caller (I know..), and obviously I'm a little bit of a SW nerd. I've roleplayed since about 16-17, I don't remember exactly, although it was mostly in comic book universes - Star Wars is a new adventure for me

I don't know what else you want to know.. I guess you can ask What I do know is that I myself have some things to ask!

I'm midway through my character app and wanted to double-check a couple of things:

• First, my hopefully soon-to-be Jedi works pretty well with a protocol droid I've created for him. I have a basic description of the droid in my equipments section, but I don't know if I'm supposed to do something else, like put in a request? Or make it a separate bio?
  
• Secondly, before I start writing anything about Xolar Varss reuniting with his father later in life, is that something acceptable to the Jedi in this timeline? It doesn't seem like family meetings were always such a big deal to the Jedi. I guess if it is there's always the possibility that he could do it secretly but it'd be ideal to know what route I'm supposed to take before letting my creativity run riot with one particular storyline.
  

Anyway, now that nonsense is out of the way, I do hope to get to know you all, and hopefully I'll be knocking around these forums for quite a while. And thanks for any help!
(Sure, introduce yourself by pestering them with newb questions Kellston, great effort....)

EDIT: Thought I would cleverly precede my character's name with a comical spoiler warning... turns out that hid half of my post! That's the last time I get clever with you, SWU.

Hiya Kellston! I'm Moonfire and welcome to the greatest time sink this side of Imgur and Reddit.

If this Droid is anything other than your standard model for the time period (Old Republic Era) you will need to make a custom tech app in the Tech section~

Otherwise, I believe a little paragraph about the droid should be sufficient.

As for family reunions, most of the Jedi frown on keeping up with family members and former attachments like that. But that doesn't mean you can't do it secretly or even by happenstance. Of you can make it make sense, then you're usually pretty golden!

Goodluck and can't wait to see you about the boards!

Welcome to SWU! Mooney was spot on with answering your questions up there - just let us know if you run into any more.

Thanks everyone! Like I say, hopefully in due course we'll have some chats and get to know each other properly.

And thanks for the responses Moonfire! It seems generally that people are in agreement with you, so I'd be stupid not to take your suggestions on board. I think for the droid, I'm gonna leave it as it is and see if a separate application is necessary - I don't want some droid, great as 'Benign' is, to take up all my time writing another bio if it's not needed. If it is though, I guess I'll find out and come up with something. I know his character so it isn't too hard.

And on the Jedi with commitment, I'm rewriting my character's history right now. Hopefully it won't take too long to edit out the family reunions and replace them with something more fitting, I want the character to still work in the same way but abide by your rules.

But again thanks everyone for all our responses, even if its just a quirky Tom Hanks welcoming me to some obscure corner of the internet :')
