Shadows of Nar Eurbrikka — Introduction and Discussion

[MKJoshA]

It is up-to-date. Some planets are under both team's control to ensure both teams have enough planet choices. Story-wise it can be explained that there is unrest on the planet, so it doesn't fall fully under either team's control.

I'm not in the group-chat. Can someone please add me?

[BEAVeR]

I don't know if any one else has noticed this, but yesterday SoNE started its third year of existence! Hurray! I'd like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has made this possible: the founders, the people I've had the pleasure to organize it with, the people I've had the pleasure of building with... Thanks to everyone for three years of fun that have helped me to grow a lot as a builder and as a person! I hope we can keep this community as strong, friendly and lively as ever, so keep building, giving feedback, and being awesome!

To celebrate the occasion. why don't we all answer the following question: What has been your favorite SoNE moment/anecdote... so far?

I know it's a hard question. That's why I take some time before I answer myself

[Green Rhubarb]

May I sign up as a rebel trooper? Thanks!

Player index is up-to-date! It took awhile to work through all the bugs the forum switch over caused, but from here on out it should be easier to update. I've asked a couple of you for 100x100 pictures of your characters, once I get those I'll add them to the index.

[Jannik]

Did you include my bounty hunter mission in my total? If it counts then I think I should be on 76xp if I added it up right?

Sorry about that! I fixed it and you do indeed have 76!

[Jannik]

Thanks

Don't forget to update your signature picture accordingly, Jannik.

 

I have a question about the core rules. They state that customized sig-figs are in order. Does that only apply to my player avatar or also to the presentation within builds?

What I am getting at is simply that I am running out of expressions with consistent facial features for my character and I am considering making a set of custom face decals for that very purpose to use in future entries. Would this be allowed? They will only be used for my main character and no one else. I am not looking for gaining an advantage in having my builds scored, but just for benefits of enhanced storytelling for entertainment purposes.

The strictest understanding of the rules is that you'd only be allowed to use decals on your own character. However, I for one would not be opposed to you using them on other characters. I'll let the other judges chime in if they think otherwise.

For my bounty hunter would it be alright to employ one custom piece? It's a red cape for accent but when I was younger I cut the sides so that it was narrower, otherwise it's unaltered and the bounty hunter is entirely purist.

Go for it! The cape sounds good.

Thank you! Keep me updated if there's anything I should know about this matter. As I said, I would use those decals solely for facial expressions, not for custom torsos or anything.

Are the signatures still there? I mostly read the forum on my phone and haven't been able to see them since the update

[Cody Startale]

Yes, they are in the desktop version and your character still shows up with 58 XP in it.

[TTROOPER]

This is where we introduce our character, right?

If so,

"Jek Koda a native of Alderaan and a child of a pro-Imperial family, was enlisted in the Imperial Army a little more than five years before his homeworld's destruction in 0BBY. As a cadet, Jek showed a very promising skill in intelligence gathering and marksmanship, it soon became abundantly clear that Jek was destined for greatness within the Stormtrooper corp, but the Empire had other plans. After graduating from the Imperial Academy Jek was recruited by the Imperial Security Bureau as a member, of their many Stormtrooper strike teams and was destined for a future as a full-blown agent but during the year 0BBY, this would all change. Jek was assigned to the first Deathstar as part of an ISB security team meant to safeguard the station from any infiltration by Rebel agents. Reports show that he was one board the battle station when it destroyed Alderaan and had first hand witnessed it's sudden and unnecessary destruction. After the event, Jek's opinions on the Empire changed drastically and he soon wanted out of the organization he had been so proud to serve in just days earlier. Several days after the destruction of Alderaan, Jek, now convinced that he was on the wrong side drafted a plan to steal classified information and escape the death star with the hope of finding and joining the Rebellion. After successfully executing his plan and escaping the Death Star Jek sought out a Rebel agent on the planet Tatooine, using the data he stole from the Empire Jek found the Rodian with ease and surprised the rebel with his backstory and expertise. This confrontation prompted the Rodian to immediately contact his superiors, who insisted that Jek be brought to them at once. Just like that, Jek was off to see the leaders of the rebellion, or so he thought...

Instead of being brought to a flagship or to a high-ranking rebel leader like the ones Jek had seen on the holo net and the ISB most wanted list, Jek was brought to some dustball of a planet and debriefed by a mere captian, who informed him that Jek was here instead of a more high-profile rebel base simply because they didn't trust him and that if he really wanted in with the rebellion that he would have to prove himself as a member of the 68th light infantry a unit which was made up of crooks and outcasts the rebellions "worst" a unit which could only be described as cannon fodder.  Determined to serve the rebellion Jek immense took pride in his new unit and battle by battle began to earn their respect and trust."

 

Sorry about the lenghty background, but I'll be playing as Jek Koda and rebel infantryman. 

Please feel free to let me know if anything needs to be changed and I can't wait to start building!

[goatman461]

You're in the right place! Jek Koda will have to be officially known as TTrooper because of the forum's core rules, but you can always refer to your character as something else. Like that nerfherder that calls himself Kirana. 

Great intro build, looking forward to more.

[Zaael]

Welcome Jek Koda! Awesome introduction, I am glad you joined the Rebellion!! 

[MKJoshA]

Excellent back story and welcome aboard!

[TTROOPER]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

So just a quick question, the current challange/episode is over right, or can I still post a build for it (or even a free build under this challenge)? 

Edited October 14, 2016 by TTROOPER

[Forresto]

Wow definitely a great and thorough background story! Welcome to the Rebellion!

Yes, the current episode is over. You can still post freebuilds though. You can create as much freebuilds as you want, but until the next episode ends you can only have 4 ones that will give you XP. See the Core Rules for more information (The section "Building Outside of Episodes (Challenges)"). Of course your builds can always be set in the stories of the past episodes!

Great backstory by the way. Nice to see there's another person from Alderaan involved that was part of the Empire. My character will keep an eye peeled for you!

LOL - I missed this earlier...

I think you're also allowed a permutation of your name, so you could be 'T.T. Rooper' or something like that.  Either way, welcome to SoNE!
