Go ahead an start filling this out while I think up a plot. You'll notice that I'm not giving you guys a lot of limits - I trust you guys to not make a ridiculous powerplaying character at this point. But please don't whine to me that you've got writer's block because *I* didn't give you a list of species to choose from. DEAL WITH IT. Go ahead and post your character here yourself, no need to send it to me first unless you want me to okay something. I'll let you know if I have a problem with your character before we start playing.
And none of this "I'll wait till everyone has created a character and then make one that we need." I don't care if you're all Twi'lek Jedi, I'll work with it. But if you really want a balanced party, discuss in the comments section what character you're thinking of creating and then the rest of the group will know that you have dibs on that "type".
Oh, and one last rule for characters:
You cannot be a character that already exists in the Star Wars universe, e.g. Han Solo or Chewbacca. However, I have no problems with you playing a character who just happens to be a pilot and is skeptical of the Force and has a Wookie copilot. You just can't be Han because, let's face it, YOU COULD NEVER BE HAN.
Username: whatever it is.
Character Name: go hog wild with the apostrophes.
Age: different species do age at different rates, but you'll have to look up the conversions yourself if you care that much. I don't care if you put the character's actual age, but I do like having the human eqivalent (ie is s/he a teen? Middle-aged?)
Midichlorian Level: I just made this up for the game. How naturally in-tune with the Force is your character, on a scale from 0-10, 0 being completely not aware of it and 10 being a full master of it. A Jedi should at least be level 5 in this stat. You can roll a dice or whatever if you don't know how to decide for this one, but I wanted to give those of you who want to be Jedi the option of having more power.
Species: Anything that you have seen/read in the Star Wars uni. Some examples: Human (the majority in the uni, so we won't think you're lazy if you pick this one), Wookie, Twi'lek, Android, Hutt, Ewok, Jawa...
Occupation: Again, anything you've seen/read in the Star Wars uni... or something you could reasonably guess the Star Wars uni would have, with my okay. Examples: Jedi Knight, Pilot, Senator, Stormtrooper..
.
Description: I'll make an art page for pics if you guys want.
Personality: Unlike Anakin from the prequels, your character has to have one. Include strengths and weaknesses here.
Weapons: Lightsaber, color of your choice, if you're a Jedi. Everyone else gets a blaster (or talk to me if you have a special request).
History: Either here or in the Personality section, you should say something about your character's affiliation, or lack there of, to the Rebel Alliance (or the Empire... but I don't really want you to play the bad guys).

Character Name: Switch Lanks
Age: 24 (human equivalent)
Midichlorian Level: 1
Species: Zabrak (Darth Maul's species without the black makeup)
Occupation: Currently between jobs
Description: Tall and lanky, fair white skin with half inch crown of grey horns on the top of his head. Has brown eyes that are always looking around with curiosity. Most of the time Switch wears neutral colors in the common shirt and pants which almost always has stains on them from spills.
Personality: Switch has a history for being curious and at the same time clumsy. There's also a hint of innocence in his eyes that Time hasn't spoiled yet. He believes that everyone is good at some level and would rather talk his way out of a fight rather than fight itself seeing how he's never been in a real fight in his life.
Weapons: Blaster
History: Switch left home to see the galaxy for himself when he was 20 years old. He worked from transport ship to mining vessel for the next four years, over twenty different ships in total. It's not that he didn't like working with any of them, he rather enjoyed the experiences, but each crew noticed that he was very accident prone due to his being clumsy. The last ship he worked on dealt with smuggling but because of Switch's jovial mindset he never knew that. While on planet the crew decided to leave him there without a word and Switch never knew why they left him. Not letting that dampen his spirits, for he was used to it by now but still never knew why it kept happening. So now Switch is looking for a way explore more of the galaxy, as always, with a smile on his face.

Character Name: Onou Dinnit
Age: 20
Midichlorian Level: 7
Species: Human
Occupation: Rebel Alliance Trooper, lately put on guard duty but ready to be a foot soldier in battle.
Description: She looks normal enough, with medium-long dirty blond hair either pulled into a high ponytail or braided close to her head so she can wear the helmet. She has hazel eyes and a decent ability to tan if she got out in the sun. She wears whatever uniform she was assigned, but in off-duty she prefers comfortable pants and a loose wife-beater that shows her usual dark sports bra, not that she cares. Her face is usually overly-serious in concentration, but becomes puzzled an awful lot.
Personality: She has a tendency to take jokes about her situation very personally, and is eager to please, especially those in positions of power. She is constantly validated by the opinions of her superiors and her job, and will make mistakes in the fight to gain recognition. However, she is content to not have a position of power herself, instead happy to be delegated as a security guard or foot soldier. However, since she was a little girl, she has some sort of amnesia concerning her surroundings and environment. Things that would be obvious to everybody, like the importance of SpecForce or even what SpecForce was in the Rebel Alliance, escape her memory all the time. And unless she's met a race or person personally, their existence is only rarely remembered, no matter how important they are. Onou will fake it, though, and sometimes say things that aren't true anywhere in the universe. She has the talent to be a Jedi but not the drive, and the memory issue is a problem. However, the Alliance needs all the help it can get, and her memory doesn't affect her vision-she is a superb shot with the blaster (which might be helped along by her unconscious, untrained affiliation with the Force).
Weapons: She has a assigned blaster. Her talent that qualifies her for a lightsaber is negated by her bad memory, and those in the position to assign her the status of a Jedi (if they even know) would rather she not have one.
History: She is highly devoted to the Rebel Alliance, even though they're wary of her handicap, which is the reason why she is so happy with such limited power. She grew up in a small town (the name of the planet she doesn't remember) and got picked up by a rebel General passing through after helping him escape from the local Empire branch. Her old life gave her no recognition due to her problem, so any mention of her being useful made her cling to this organization enough so she is willing to sacrifice her life for it. She's been working for them for many years.

Character Name: Diva Velia
Age: 19
Midichlorian Level: 2
Species: Theelin – one of the last of her kind, there are only a dozen or so pure Theelins left in the galaxy due to a genetic mutation that has made most of the species infertile.
Occupation: She is one of the famous Theelin Divas, an all-female religious order known for having the best singing voices in the galaxy.
Description: Human-like appearance with some minor differences that give away her species: she has bright pink hair that sticks out like spikes from the top of her head, as well as a smattering of pink spot-like marks that go from the right side of her neck down to the upper part of her right arm. Her skin is pale and sort of bluish in tone. She wears regal clothing made of fine materials, usually very light in weight to allow for movement and keep her safe from the heat of Tatooine.
Personality: She knows how special and important she is as one of the last members of her species and a very talented musician and dancer. And she’ll make sure everyone around her knows how important she is as well. She is a pampered, selfish bitch, to put it mildly.
Weapons: None.
History: It seems she grew up neutral to the Empire, and didn’t really concern herself with politics. She had a recent change of heart, though no one is quite sure what caused it, and is now affiliated with the Rebellion. She knows something very important about the Empire, but has been instructed not to tell what it is for her own safety.

Character Name: Idolon Guru
Age: 45
Midichlorian Level: 9
Species: Miraluka – human-like, but they don’t have eyes. Only vestigal eye sockets. However, they have Force Sight, which basically allows them to see people because they can see the Force radiating off of everyone.
Occupation: Jedi Knight
Description: Tall and lean, but you can’t really see his body beneath his Jedi robes. He usually has a hood over his head that is long enough to conceal his eye sockets and not freak people out, but he also carries with him a Miralukan cloth that he can tie over his face to hide the non-existent eyes when a hood would be inappropriate (more formal occasions). He would probably be attractive if the missing eye thing wasn’t so creepy.
Personality: Deeply logical and philosophical. He tends to be very stoic and would rather observe than participate in a conversation. However, because he can recognize potential with the Force just by looking at someone, he will be more likely to approach someone who is strong with the Force. Jedi are currently all but gone since the Clone Wars, so he is eager at the chance to teach the ways of the Force and keep the Jedi line strong. He believes in neither good nor evil, and makes decisions based on logic rather than an inherent “rightness.”
Weapons: an orange lightsaber.
History: He is not exactly part of the Rebellion, but he is Alliance-friendly and has been known to help the cause when he deems it necessary. For this reason, he tends to make people in the Alliance uncomfortable. Most are cautious when dealing with him. So far he has been loyal to the Rebellion, but that’s only so far…
Username: [Matrim]
Character Name: Taman Ood
Age: 189 years old – equivalent to a young adult human although their powers grow stronger with age.
Midichlorian Level: 7
Species: Shi’ido (Telepathic, shapeshifting species.)
Occupation: Archeologist
Description: Shi’ido are near human in natural form. Taman has a strong face with clear cut lines of quiet contemplation. Eyes of brown and messy gold hair pair nicely with his leathery complexion. His hands are at home digging through some good soil or grasping a favorite tool; they have the steadiness of a surgeon, and the strength of… well, something strong. His generally dirty hair is held back by a sweaty bandana and he will often be found wearing filthy lightweight pants and a tank top. He stands about average height with a build to match.
Personality: The Shi’ido are a curious race, and Taman is no different. He revels in taking his time and thinking things through. He is very relaxed and kindhearted in nature and slow to make rash decisions, though his thirst for knowledge of his ancestors and the origin of his race led him to new questions about other species from far away worlds. His methodical nature makes him somewhat of a perfectionist and his will to learn leads him on voyages far too adventurous for most of his kin.
Weapons: Very partial to an excavated sword he found on his first dig and for this reason he has become rather skilled in sword play. This along with his natural attunement to the force would allow him to use a lightsaber quite effectively, but lack of training and desire stop his hand.
History: Taman grew up in the city of Mandolea on the planet Lao-mon. As a child he was curious about his past and soon came to find his calling as an archeologist. After years of digging and learning, he decided the real answers were in the stars. He has no desire to affiliate himself with either the rebels or the empire; or he’s taking his time so he doesn’t make the wrong choice.
Username: [Yaris]
Character Name: Falztar Mail’liw.
Age: 28 (human equivalent)
Midichlorian Level: 3
Species: Chiss (tall humanoid species, marked out by their pure blue skin, gleaming black hair, and glowing red eyes)
Occupation: Ex-police officer. Getting caught in bed with the Sergeant’s wife is not a good way to keep a job.
Description: Stands 6’5, has blue skin and red glowing eyes, he wears white robe-like shirt and pants with a distinctive blue trim. A cape drapes seductively to the floor, just covering black knee-high boots. His weapon is stowed in a holster that hangs in front of him rather than off to one side, which is held in place by a large belt. He is still fit and athletic, unlike most other of the police officers his age. His hair is a medium-short, just touching his sunglasses.
Personality: Semi-quiet and somewhat reserved, he is rarely the life of the party, but that does not mean he will not speak his mind when he feels it necessary. Internally, he is very concerned about his looks, always after the ladies, and, much to his families’ dismay, he finds himself helplessly attracted to most human females. He usually believes himself to be right, whether or not he actually is, and feels that any woman rejecting him must be gay.
Weapons: Tradition calls him to a typical government-issue Charric Pistol, the Chiss version of a blaster; it contains many of its same qualities, although has an effective range of only 8 meters.
History: He always hated the stereotype about Chiss’ stoic attitude towards politics, and not just because he did not care to get involved. He joined the police force at age 22 to hide from his parents after getting kicked out of medical school for fainting at the first sight of blood.

Character Name: Jaccovva
Age: 204 (about 25 human)
Midichlorian Level: 1
Species: Wookie
Occupation: Freelance Pilot
Description: 6'6" with very dark brown hair. She wears a utility belt and the syren belt she earned during her adolescent rite of passage. She also wears a translator headset in lieu of keeping a protocol droid.
Personality: Jaccovva is brave and usually very serious. She likes technological things, like most of her species, but can be very awkward around large groups, and it's not like she doesn't stick out. She doesn't have a great sense of humor. Physically strong and dexterous, good with heights, but claustrophobic.
Weapons: Bowcaster
History: Strongly on the side of the Alliance. The Empire has enslaved the Wookies and she obviously wants her people to be freed. She had left the planet to work as a pilot. Currently flies a Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft in anticipation of needing to do some fighting.
