A few of my "favorites"

[Raven Redstar]

I've been playing West End Games Star Wars for almost 10 years now. Only within the last 2 or 3 years have I had any characters worthy of being called "favorites". Lately, a few of my game masters have retired completely from gaming, so I've been stuck running several games. Some of these favorites that I have had as a player, have drifted over into the realm of game master characters, thus realizing their full potential as heroes, rogues, or villains in my games. I'm currently running three games right now. A Jedi story, a bounty hunter campaign, and a solo adventure for a poor unsuspecting athlete who has managed to attract the ire of the Empire just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Anyway, I've decided to share a few of my characters with you. I implore you to use them in your games if you choose to. I'll give the before and after stats and backgrounds in separate posts. If anyone decides to use one of my characters in their game, I'd love to hear about how they've developed, or in what ways their lives were terminated if it happens to turn out that way.

Personality has not changed.

Objectives: Obtain his vengeance, find a pirate crew, and a capital ship capable of handling his needs of returning to Tapani in force.

Additional Background: After a few years, the realizations of the costs of running even a ship began to set in. He had still not accumulated enough fame in the right circles to attract a "savory" pirate crew to assist him in his next steps of vengeance, Raven did the unthinkable, he went for a very risky job, almost too risky, he had heard of a gemstone so rare and pure that the only one ever found only was in only the most exclusive circles. He had his new target, and after some money, and luck, he found it. It had been "purchased" by a Moff that lived on Coruscant, not only that, but the dumb slag had given it to his daughter as a college acceptance gift. Raven gathered all his funds and set a course for the core. After spreading around his money, he managed to get himself into the most exclusive clubs and waited. After a few weeks, he was finally introduced to the Moff's daughter, who being young and stupid, was easily seduced by the roguish nature of Redstar. They returned to her place where she showed him the "Coreheart Gem", he then drugged her wine and made off with the gem. He had to work quickly if he was to get off world, but he knew that there'd be no chance as long as he had the stone in his possession. However, thinking ahead, he had already arranged for a forgery to be made, it didn't need to stand up to close inspection, just be good enough to look at from a distance. After waiting around for the Moff to call in bounty hunters to retrieve him, he spread rumors and appeared to be a creature of habit, frequenting only this one establishment with a very strict dress code. If any hunter was going to get close to him, they'd have to leave the heavy hardware someplace else. It was just his luck that a pair of hunters followed his trail of breadcrumbs right to this place, and just has he had planned, they accepted the dress code. After leaving, he made sure they followed him, and then, seemingly spotting them, ran, while they gave chase. One departed to get their ship, just in case he managed to get to some sort of transport, the other continued the chase on foot. She finally caught up with him, while he was approaching the ramp of his ship on a private pad. After short words where she tried to convince him that it would be better for him to come quietly, he pulled out the gem from his inner pocket. Saying that no take is worth dying over, he threw it over the edge and ran onto his ship to take off. The hunter on his own ship spotted the scene and dove after the gem. With a stunning display of piloting skills, the hunter actually managed to catch the gem in his own ship's cargo bay. (It was a very impressive roll with a force point.) The two hunters reported to the Moff that the stone had been recovered, and they would be on route to return it, when after finding the gem in the then disarray that was the cargo bay, they noted that the gem was cracked, and realized they had been duped. It was just enough of a distraction within the naval command for Redstar to break atmosphere and make it into hyperspace. The hunters have taken the insult of the forgery rather personally, and have dedicated themselves to taking down Redstar at all costs.

I've recently been rolling at random to find out if they're on the correct planet. I planned to have Redstar betrayed by Guri, who would be acquiring the gem for Prince Xizor. Redstar would escape of course, with the up front money, Guri getting the stone. The up front money would be somewhere in the several million credits, enough for Redstar to fund his search for a capital ship. I had picked out the Commerce Guild Support Ship for the capital ship of his choice, and he was now going about the galaxy, hoping that his insult to the empire would bring his fame to a level that would attract the sorts that he was looking for.

I think I may take you up on your offer. He would fit quite nice into the smuggler campaign I am running on Sundays. I might have to play with a little of his background but I like his personality and such. If your curious on how he does just hit me with a private message here and I would be glad to let you know

Been a while since my last update, had some trouble digging this one out of my file cabinet. I played this next one in an imperial friendly game, there was one dark jedi, one insane stormtrooper, a noblewoman agent of the empire, and my character, an imperial intelligence agent who had been invited into the emperor's hand the first session of play.

Background: [TOP SECRET] Agent Krieger is an orphan of the clone wars, he was institutionalized at a very young age. He spent his younger years living in an orphanage, until an unknown benefactor decided to fund Crell's education. He was sent to the finest schools among the core worlds. He constantly strived for perfection in all he endeavored, and he was quite gifted, always seemed to know what the teachers were thinking. He quickly rose to the tops of his classes, and was accepted into the highest graduate schools, he chose to go to the academy on Coruscant. While there, he studied all manner of subjects including medicine, boxing, fencing, various technical courses, and law. Shortly after graduating with honors, he was drafted into Imperial Intelligence, where he found he had a knack for digging the truth out of any situation. After a few months, he finally met his benefactor. Emperor Palpatine himself. The emperor had sensed the young child's force potential, and had indoctrinated him at a very young age to be one of his hands. Krieger was set upon the galaxy to bring an end to the Rebel Alliance. Rebel contacts and sources would be easily tracked with his natural psychic talents, and would quickly find themselves waking up in a basement tied to a chair. He would do what he could to turn them, or pump them for information as hard as needed, and then would see to their disposal. Krieger and his team are responsible for end of numerous rebel cells all over the galaxy. With his quick wit, and the resources of the empire, somewhat at his disposal, he manages to stay at least two steps ahead of any enemy who is foolish enough to think they can catch and subdue him.

Personality: Polite, Intelligent, methodical, cold, and calculating. Krieger has perfected interrogation and torture to a near art form. He utilizes every angle imaginable, and uses his experience, and mental abilities to sift through any lies or plan for the best course of attack. Never hesitates to kill, he is a true believer in what the empire stands for: Order, peace, justice.

Objectives: Bring about the end of civil war, and obey his master.
