<hey i dont care who rpg's here.. in fact the more the merrier any one is welcome!! but try to keep the character count down to a reasonable number :) kewl okei>

<hey i decided to add a few rules to clear up further confusion:) so.. here they are..1. DO NOT controll other peoples characters~ ie: do not make characters that are not yours do something, such as speaking, moving, or dying, the creator of the character should be the only person controlling that character unless they give permission to do otherwise.

2. Write in COMPLETE or at least understandable sentences and in proper RPG format~ ie: put * * or (( )) around narrations, something to let people know that it is a narration, and please use complete sentences unless an incomplete sentence is appropriate. ie: *Walks away*. The post must also be legible and comprehensible to prevent confusion.

3. DO NOT interupt an RPG~ ie: before joining an rpg try to read the story so far and wait for an opening in the story that allows for a character to make an entrance without disrupting the story line.

4. Be polite~ ie: respect your fellow writers and RPG'ers.

If you do not like these rules you do not have to follow them but please do not continue to post replies to this thread if that is the case. Any posts contravening the rules will either be ignored or deleted.

Furthermore never panic, and always have a towel, or your head will promptly be fed to the Bugblatter Beast of Traal. lol Have Fun>


( okei just a little back ground info on this char cause ive never used her before.... She is commonly mistaken for a guy, her first name is Ariel, but she goes by her last name- Gehn..and Artemis is her pet, although i dont think n e body would want to pet that ugly thing lol .. oh yeah and she has a lightsaber and knows how to use one, but she is not a jedi. ill reveal more as the rpg progresses.. but i thought this might clear up some stuff 'fore it happens .. okei.. )

( i think this takes place corruscant)

*Gehn pulled at the cloth that covered her face as she stepped out of the dirty small arms shop. She fumbled with the crate as stepped into the crowd of moving bodies the loose solder coils and power packs jingling about inside the box. Gehn manuvered through the seething mass of people doing her best to maintain a grip on the crate. Soon she escaped the tangle of bodies and appendages,and she slipped through the small door and into the docking bay*

[Gehn] *whistles* Artemis, come on artemis I got you something to snack on. Artemis?. Artemis come here *whistles*

*Growls can be heard coming from inside her ship*

*Deac sits in a bookstore near the hanger. Due to his uncle's advice, he wrote his own autobiography, that much has been happening. Now he has to do a signing. Bummer!*

*Gehn hit a button on a small device she pulled from her pocket causing the access hatch of her ship to open. Gehn reached for her blaster holstered on her thigh*

[Gehn]: Artem...

*Ariels words were cut off when a creature the size of a small dog crashed into her sending her sprawling on the ground*

[Creature]: GRRRRRRRR

*Ghen layed there too shocked to do anything. the creature moved its face closer to hers growling. Just when it looked as if it was going to bite her it made a squeek sound and proceeded to slobber all over her face*

[Gehn]: HAHAHAAHHA! git offa me Artemis! gross! hehehe

*Artemis leaped off of her and ran out the of the docking bay door*

[Gehn]: Artemis! come back here! haha

*Gehn ran out the door after the odd looking space creature*

*A tall dark figure in a long coat waiting outside the hangar watched as Gehn chased the little space creature out the door. As soon as she turned the corner the figure began to walk towards the hangar, two other tall dark figures emerged from the crowd and jumped in a small speeder nearby. The first figure pulled out a strange looking box from underneath his coat and tossed it into the hangar before hopping into the speeder as well and flying away*

*Gehn having caught up with the little creature walked back into the hangar to see a small box lying on the ground beside her ship. Ariel retrieved the box and held it up for a closer look discovering that the box had no opening!*

[Gehn]: hmm? thats strange

*Ariel tossed the box into the crate of miscellanious blaster parts and slid it into her ship, then proceeded to close the hatch*

[Gehn]: I'm kinda hungry, whaddya say we go somethin to eat Artemis?

*The little creature answered by letting out a low squeeking sound. Ariel and Artemis left the hangar and made their way to the nearest diner and sat down at a booth*

*In the crate the small box began to vibrate, there was a faint beep and the vibrating stopped*

*The diner shook with the sudden explosion that sent debris flying in every possible direction surprising Ariel and Artemis*

[Gehn]: What was that!?

*Gehn quickly got up from her chair and pushed her way through the mass of bodies that formed by the windows all trying to get a better look at the rubble. Ariel made her way through the door trailed by her alien pet, Artemis. Ariel stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the damage, Artemis running into her ankles.*

[Gehn]: what...what.. happened?..

*Gehn glanced around at the debris at her feet, the once sturdy Hangar, now a pile of smoldering rock*

(Well, since I've never RP'ed before on RSRP, I guess I should give a little character background. His name is Uglrrgrumparrumparwump, but most people just call him Ugly. While many beings in the Universe find themselves unfortunate, Ugly is one of the worst. First off, his name. And then, to add to it, he comes from a species known for it's strength and prowess. But, due to a sick and cruel Imperial experiment, he was born a midget Wookie. Only a meter tall, he still has a lot of power, but nothing like that which his species is marked for. Finally, he has the worst string of bad luck in the known galaxy. He makes lando look like a double lottery winner. Even now, it extends to him, as the explosion in the hangar has demolished his portable interpereter droid. He tries to make an intimidating scream, but it comes off more to the effect of a teenager squeaking when he speaks. A passing 4PO droid catches what he said.)

993-4PO: Now! There's no need for such language! You should be ashamed of yourself. Why, will all this civilization around here, you'd think you'd be able to pick up on a little of it...

(Ugly lets out a short grunt, and it's meaning is clear, as the droid shuts up. He lets out a string of growls, and Ninety-nine translates.)

99: Master Ugly cordially suggests that since it seems that you need to repair your ship, you should bring it on over to his grage: Ugly Mechanics Inc. He says they'll have the best people working on it available. You should be satisfied in no time. But he also says that you must act quickly, this is a one time offer only. So, what do you say?

*Gehn looked down at the little hairball of a wookie and then at the droid translating for him*

[Gehn]: well.. I uh.. that’s really kind of you, but in case you haven’t noticed it appears I no longer have a ship!

(Ugly growls out a few more lines, then looks at the droid to translate.)

Well, what he said this time was that he also owns a hotel chain which has been a bit hard pressed to find customers lately. It seems no one wants to stay anywhere known as The Ugly Hotel. He also says that he knows someone who could help you find a new ship, at a respectable cost, and was wondering if you'd care to be party to his hospitality?

*Gehn crawls over to Deac pulling off her outer blast resistant -coat and tossing it on the ground three dark pits smoldering on the material*

[Gehn]: I just bought that coat too!

*hidden far above them, in the mess of rigging above the docking bays, a black-coated figure aims his rifle at Ariel's head and speaks into his comlink*

S-02 to 03, should I finish the job?

He gets a reply:

03 to 02, negative, we don't know who he or she is. Can you identify the male target?

01 to 03, his name is Deac Starkiller. He is a sort of Jedi. He is well known in this dimension.

02 to 01, can you ID the male/female target?

01 to 02, negative, but it's a she.

03 to 01, should we take out the Jedi?

01 to 03, more importantly, where is the main target?

03 to 01, she entered a shop. She's temporarily out of range.

01 to 03, it seems that the second female target is the owner of the demolished ship.

02 to 01, you mean they got the wrong ship?

01 to 02, that's exactly what I mean.

01 to all, base gives confirmation to eliminate the secondary targets. Order we enter the shop and ensure main target does not escape.

Tarin had been watching the 'excitement' from the shadows near the bookstore when he saw a girl run inside and another person, seemingly a man, follow her. Being his usual inquisitive self, and having heard the shots earlier, he decided to follow them to find out what was happening - and hopefully, if he was lucky, there might be a job in it for him...

He moved swiftly to the entrance, and as he opened the door he almost walked into the second person that entered, who was midway through turning to face him. He acted quickly, and grabbed her arms to stop her from getting to a weapon (it was obvious now that she was not male).

She looked stunned, so he quickly said:

"I'm not going to hurt you - don't worry."

She looked slightly relieved, but her body stayed tense.

"I can help you lose those snipers - I'm in the business myself, so I know what they'll likely do - but we need to move quickly to get away from here."

*Four tall, dark men enter the shop. They are dressed in a sort of gray uniform with long black coats over them. They spray the shop with stunbolts*

03 to 01, our men have entered the shop.

OOS: Ok everyone, really sorry to interrupt the story and all, but I've kind of dropped off here, and I want to explain why and say I'm sorry. (Now that the whole politeness thing is out of the way... j/k) Basically, here it is. I've gotten rather caught up in the whole Cantina Six: Return of the Dead Guy RPG over on XWA.net. In short, I've been writing absolutely gargantuan posts (check it out if you don't believe me, some of them are over 5-6000 characters.) That can tend to be rather draining on emotional writing ability, as well as wrist ability. (I know, I know, that sounds rather wrong... if you think remotely like some people I know. ::Cries to self:: The woes of high school!) So, I'm very sorry for not keeping up, and I'll try harder to jump in, if possible here, although I'll not be staying with Ugly. To be honest, he was kind of a joke. Anyway, that's all there is for now.


Signing off--Good luck and Godspeed.

Alright guys, here's my new chara info


Name: Thrr-gilag, Clan: Kee'rr
Gender: Male
Species: Zhirrzh
Description/ a little background: Roughly human in height, with slender torso and a pair each of arms and legs in more or less hman arrangement. A hairless head sits atop what passes for a neck, the face roughly triangular in shape as large brow ridges over the deep-set eyes narrow to hawklike beaks. Always dressed in tight fitting jumpsuits, made of a shimmery material. A small scar rides on his neck just below where it narrows backward into a triangle, the scar is roughly the same size and shape of that of an small appendix removal scar in humans. This scar is due to the removal of the fss organ. The fss seems to be unique amongst the galaxy. It is an organ, that, when removed from it's host and kept from decay, it acts as sort of an anchor. Should the former host be killed, or raised to Eldership as it is said amongst the Zhirrzh, then they will immediately (not physically, but their essence, spirit, soul or Force presence, however you want to say it) yanked back to their fss in their family shrine. There they will become nearly literally a ghost, with decreased sensory abilities, but the ability to pass inside the anchor areas of their fss instantaneously. Also, the fss can be cut, in order to move that cutting even as far as a different planet. The Zhirrzh can then move instantaneously between those pieces, so long as they are not blocked by concentrations of some of the denser metals. (That includes Deac's head... just kidding Deac). As well, when radio waves are passed over the fss in high enough concentrations, the Elder will feel wracking pains in growing amounts up to death. These concentrated radio waves are known as the Elderdeath weapons to the Zhirrzh. Uh, I think that's a pretty good physiological background to the Zhirrzh, oh yeah, they have two thumbs and three fingers, both thumbs opposable, and the Zhirrzh homeplanet, Oaccanav, is in the Unkown Regions, though they do have hyperspace capabilities, just at much slower speeds than normal. Within the Unkown Regions, the Zhirrzh have built a small empire of about 18 worlds, which they control through their strict clan system which is over seen by the Overclan Prime, most powerful of all the Zhirrzh.
Personal Background: Thrr-gilag is from the planet Oaccanav, home planet of his clan, the Kee'rr. After his bond-engagement to a female from another clan was broken for political reasons, he devoted himself to the furtherance of Zhirrzh society. As a result, he rose highly through the ranks of his clan, before becoming Speaker, and using his incredible political leverage and background as a scholar and student of aliens to get himself appointed upon an expidition to search beyond the Zhirrzh empire for other peoples. It was in this way that the Zhirrzh stumbled on to the New Republic. And so, in due course, they have traveled to Coruscant to contact the New Republic, and find out what they can...
