1,072 days after the battle of Geonosis
Coruscant


Throughout the Clone Wars the Coruscant Security Force has waged a silent war on the capital planet against Confederate terrorist and intelligence agents. A short month before the end of the Clone Wars, a terrorist attack strikes the CSF headquarters, during a meeting with the Senate Intelligence Oversight Committee. Initial findings point to a mole inside the CSF or the SBI, and a joint investigation is launched at once. If the Separatists are indeed inside Coruscant’s elite security force, then the consequences could be quite dire. The investigative teams must find the truth and quickly, before any more harm is done. Everyone is a suspect at this point.


Welcome to Shadowplay. This game does have a definite conclusion and actual hints to the identity of the guilty party(ies) will be presented by the game master. I may even select one of the players to play a less than innocent role, though most of the guilt will be with NPCs that I will be playing directly. You will be the investigators in a very dangerous game of cat and mouse. Not everyone will survive this RPG to the end.

Some references will be made to events in Republic Commando: Triple Zero and Republic Commando: Order 66, however, the game itself is not based directly off of these books. When the game starts before the attack, the opening post will include the attack and aftermath.

Please PM all character sheets to the myself for approval. If you want something special, PM first before spending time building a sheet.

One Simple Rule: No Godmoding, violators will be struck down by the Force (I.e. Me). Since many of you are playing as investigators, godmoding will include in-depth, out-of-character knowledge. Though part of the game is to discover the culprits, it is also about game play and character development.

Dear GM. I tried to PM this to you but was sent the error that I have to have 20 pms before being allowed to PM so I sent this directly. I hope you do not consider this to be of any disrespect to the format.

Name:Gadd Rennan
Gender:Male
Age:27
Species:Human
Homeworld:Corellia
Affiliation: {Available factions: Coruscant Security Forces (CSF), Senate Bureau of Intelligence (SBI), Jedi Order (one slot available, a Knight attached to the CSF). For other factions, please PM me first to discuss}Jedi Order, Knight.
Rank:Jedi Knight
Personality:Slightly rebellious, pushing the limits of the Jedi Order. If it weren't for his bold selfless battle readiness he would not have passed the trials. He likes to drink occasionally as a substitute to force meditation to take the edge off. If tempted he may break the vow of detachment as he likes the ladies a lot and tends to internalize friendships. Overall he is heroic, loyal and cavalier. He is super determined and finishes all that he starts. Reluctantly serves the Republic, cynical towards all politics, feeling that the Order should think twice about guarding such a corrupt Republic. In short, he sees the signs of the times and believes that the Council must be blind to not see that the Republic is too corrupt to preserve. His assignment to this task could prove to be the test of selflessness that he requires to become a master.
Appearance
---Skin Color:Caucasian, tanned.
---Hair Color:Dark Brown, shot flattop, step with sideburns and gotee.
---Eye Color:Light Brown eyes.
---Clothing:Tunic,standard Jedi garb.
---Other Details:Has scar on left cheek from burn suffered in explosion versus Separatist tankers.
Weapons:Lightsaber with Green Crystal.
Biography:Gadd Rennan was born on Corellia and was found by the Jedi as a babe. He was trained as a youngling, in the Temple prior to being taken as a padawan. He became a knight at age, 25, (2 years ago) 1 year after the Battle of Geonosis, for his bravery in a conflict to protect Republic interests on Chandrilla. He was not present during the Battle of Geonosis dealing with other Jedi matters under the direction of his Jedi Master. He has spent the past 2 years as knight commissioned to whatever tasks the Council has for him.

He has gained much experience by being a padawan during the height of the Trade Federation and its exploitation, and a knight throughout with the conflict between the Republic and CIS forces since the beginning of the Clone Wars. Unfortunately he has also gained much bitterness, with Gadd sad about the loss of his peers to Separatist forces and feeling that what he is fighting for is meaningless with the Republic falling apart from within. That plus physical scars as the reminders of war. And his biggest test is yet to come; to be part of an investigation to protect an agency that is core to a government he is losing faith in.

OOC:

mmart23: I'm afraid that I already received and approved a Jedi character for this RPG last night. I really did not plan on more than one Jedi, however if you would like to rework you character to that of an CSF/SBI investigator; or if you want to play the role of a Jedi under investigation, we can do that as well.

JediHighlander: Look forward to it!

Speaking of a Jedi,
Approved!



Name: Lysander Odakota
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Species: Human
Homeworld: Coruscant
Affiliation: Jedi Order
Rank: Jedi Knight
Personality:
For the most part, Lysander is an even-tempered, levelheaded Jedi. He’s capable of keeping calm during stressful situations, though he does have a tendency to be a little pessimistic when the pressure starts to get to him. His pessimism tends to surface in the form of dry sarcasm or frantic remarks about the situation. His humor in general tends to be sarcastic, though he does know when to laugh, having a good sense of humor. For the most part, however, he is the thoughtful sort, with a stubborn sense of determination, despite danger he may face. He also has a strong curious streak, and likes to find out answers.

He is a bright man with a quick mind, but despite the confidence he tends to have in himself, in the department of taking care of others on a personal level, he feels he is a failure. He does not like taking the lead over anyone but himself.
Appearance
-Skin Color: Slightly Tanned.
--Hair Color: Brown
---Eye Color: Blue
----Clothing: Lysander wears traditional Jedi garb for the most part. Although, if he is undercover he will wear whatever is needed to fit the part.
Weapons: Blue Single Bladed lightsaber
Biography:
Lysander was born to a single mother on Coruscant. His mother--Farla Odakota--had gotten into the notion of ‘young love’ and had paired herself with a slightly older man. When he found out she was expecting, he naturally ditched her, leaving her to raise the child alone. She was young then, and did not know if she would be able to care for the child. After the boy was born, she named him and promptly could not bring herself to just abandon him. So she was stuck with young Lysander. However, relief came in the form of the Jedi. When a Jedi approached her about her son’s potential when he was about six months old, she was eager to hand him off to the Jedi. Farla knew her son would have a better life among the Order with a “proper” family than he would ever have with her. He was promptly removed from her care and taken to the Academy to begin his training. He was removed at such a young age; he has no memory of his mother or living wit hher.

At age eleven, he was chosen as a Padawan and trained in the ways of the Jedi Guardian. He excelled in ‘saber combat and telekinesis early on, and soon those were his areas of emphasis. By time he was nineteen he had been elevated to the status of Knight. Within two years, he had his first Padawan to teach. However, that era ended within a year when the apprentice was lost in a bad accident. He remained reluctant to take another one on for some time, but eventually the Council requested it of him, and he hesitantly accepted his duty. When this apprentice was lost to the darkness, however, Lysander had had enough. After that, he told the Council he would not be taking another apprentice again, unless the Council demanded it of him.

Since then, as a solo Jedi for the most part, he got involved in investigations as his solo status made for easier covert operations. However, his investigation status is not official and he is prepared for battle any time the Order needs extra Guardian.

OOC:

Thanks for considering my character. Since the Jedi Knight character is taken, I would like to be a Jedi Knight under investigation then if possible.

It could be a cry wolf scenario in which his overly mouthy distaste for the Republic and its politics and the Senate and its decadence has led him to be a suspect.

With Gadd's maverick nature, this could totally work. Hope you agree and accept my character sheet. Thanks again for the opportunity and consideration.

Matt M

GenOochy Approved


Name: Jax Harkor
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Species: Human
Homeworld: Coruscant
Affiliation: Senate Bureau of Intelligence
Rank: Agent (Investigator)
Personality: Tenacious, ruthless, and a bit of a loose cannon. On the other hand, he is a superb actor and undercover agent, so that might be a cover too.
Appearance
---Skin Color: Pale
---Hair Color: Dark brown
---Eye Color: Hazel
---Clothing: Whatever best suits his assignment. Jax likes to blend in.
---Other Details: -
Weapons: Holdout blaster, several holdout vibroblades. Proficient in blaster rifles but doesn't carry one unless the mission calls for it.
Biography: Jax's ID says he's from Coruscant, but he spent most of his young life following his spacer parents to various places in the galaxy on trading runs. He didn't really like the life though, and when he was 18 he enrolled in university instead of signing up with the merchant fleet his parents worked for. Once out of university, he applied for and was accepted into Senate Bureau of Intelligence. Over the past few years he's made quite the career out of being an undercover investigator, whether the mission calls for investigating the underworld or impersonating a senatorial aide.

GM APROVED!

Body: Name: Davin Fost.

Gender: Male.

Age: 38.

Species: Human.

Homeworld: Mandalor.

Rank: Major.

Personality: No Nonsense cut to the chase kind of Guy who takes charge.

Appearance:
--Physique Athletic.
--Hair Color Sandy Blonde.
--Eye Color Sky Blue. Some describe them as hypnotic in attraction.
--Clothing Three piece suits and polished shoes. Every article is colored
Black, including his ties, shirts and shades.
--Oth. Dtls: Davin likes to wear a particular cologne that's processed from a
Mandalorian flower called the Fire Tullip. It smells like Ginger.

Weapons: Though proficient with all forms of blaster weapons where the need may require their use, Davin usually packs a SoroSuub Security S-5+ w. improved damage to target, IR/NV scope plus four extra power clips. Includes dart launcher w. special loads available. Also Grappling Myomar Line launcher for emergency climbs/escapes. Backup blaster Merr-Sonn Model JI "Happy Surprise" Palm Blaster. Color coordinated (Black) shock/stun baton for those special Melee moments. Davin Fost holds certification as a Master instructor in both K'tara and K'thri. Thus Davin's hands and feet are also weapons.

Biography: Davin was born and raised on Mandalor to Renco and Jia Sustra a relatively successful bounty hunter couple who met their demise at the hands of Black Sun operatives assigned to protect the couple's intended target for extraction, a Human slave trader named Kelmon Bog-who had ties with the Hutts-was wanted by an angry Keldronin who had hired the couple. They had landed on Coriscant to capture and return Kelman to their Patron. When Davin's parents didn't return he made ready for unwanted visitors and was rewarded for his preparations by taking out a Black Sun Capture Squad. Unfortunately the battle left the Mandalorian ship unable to lift off. When the Port Authority showed up-after the smoke had cleared-the negotiator managed to talk Davin out of the wreaked ship's hull. When no one came to claim Davin after 90 days (The rest of his relatives were Wanted for something or other by the Republic), he was given orphan status and made a ward of the Republic. The Republic Bureau of State Wards assigned Davin a new last name (Fost) as a cover. He was later adopted by Corik Narcassan an administrator working for the Republic's Bureaucracy. After spending time with the GAR which included Black Operations prior to the Clone Wars, Davin finished his two six year tours of duty and mastered two martial arts forms. Davin was ready for something different. His foster father's cousin Vyn Narcassan convinced Davin that there was a place for him in the Senate Bureau of Intelligence. Davin took his relative's advice and applied. Upon acceptence he entered training for Cryptoanalysis but after a mandatory two year stay found that his heart wasn't into working behind a terminal and crunching code. He yearned for being out where the action was, so opted for SBI's Crisis Branch. After passing the Physical requirements with flying colors he was accepted for training as a field agent and quickly rose through the ranks of SBI CB as a field agent. Davin now holds the Rank of Major in the SBI and still hold's a commission in its Crisis Branch. The Clone Wars have been going on now for nearly three years.

APPROVED by GM - GenOochy

Name: Faro (pronounced "pharoah") Boldarian

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Species: Human

Homeworld: Socorro

Affiliation: Coruscant Intelligence Agent

Rank: Agent

Personality: Brazen, fun-loving, enthusiastic, life of the party, smooth, charasmatic, sometimes aloof, insensitive, superficial. He prefers research through interview, interrogation and small talk. Will hit the books when he has to, though it's not his first love. He loves people and the interaction between people of all races, alien species and social statuses.

Appearance:
Skin: light brown, mocha
Hair: Black, short, curly
Eyes: Light brown
Clothing: General agent uniform

Weapons: DL-44 Blaster Pistol

Biography: Born of noble blood on Socorro, Faro was raised with servants and not a care in the world. His conceit, lack of respect for authority, dismissive nature, and arrogance became taxing to his parents who sent him off to boarding school at age 12 through age 18. There he learned some responsibility but still found a way to be maverick, bend the rules and have fun.

At age 18, he was then shipped off to Coruscant University to make a man of himself and tend to his life. He appreciated the move and his admission into boarding school as a youth as he would have no sense of how to take care of himself without the school's discipline. Still, while he was there he drank, partied heavily, and thrived as a thrillseeker, partying hard during the weekends, studying hard on school nights, taking the balance from his elementary schooling into his collegiant experience.

He graduated top of his class in Business Communications but wanted more thrill in his life so he applied for the Coruscant Intelligence Bureau as he knew he had the skills of persuasion and investigation, skills he picked up barhopping, being the ever-social young player that he was. He had an unorthodox approach no doubt, but was persistent enough to do his job. He's been in the Agency two years now and will definitely be tested by the current events at hand.

1,072 Days ABG
1356 Coruscant Time
Coruscant Security Force Divisional Headquarters, Level 89 Conference Room

All eighteen seats in the room were filled for the post-lunch meeting with the Senate Intelligence Committee. The topic at hand was the sharing of information between the agencies which seemed to have slowed in the recent months. The SBI had complained to the committee that the CSF had been sharing highly classified information with the security force in Corellia, while they had denied SBI request for similar information. The head of the entourage from the oversight committee was member of the delegation from Ryloth, who was growing tired of repeatedly asking why the information request were denied. She sighed and picked up a glass of water, glancing out the window. There was a split second of analyzing what she was seeing, and then…

Smoke and steam boiled from the side of the tower, as fireships sprayed the twisted durasteel. Rescue Ops were making their way into the building, evacuating the hundreds of injured inside, while an Acclamator-class was brought in with tractor-beams to ensure that the tower would not collapse.

The speeder had been lock into the normal traffic lanes, and was passing eight hundred meters east of the CSF tower, when it suddenly veered and dived. It dropped six hundred meters in altitude and when it struck that tower it was moving over three hundred kilometers an hour. It struck perfectly with the conference room and then, with the force of at least a hundred kilos of detonite, violently exploded. The resulting explosion shattered nearly every window on the building as the shockwave rippled out, and tore a sixty meter hole.

1,073 Days ABG
0722 Coruscant Time

With one-hundred and eighty-one dead, including three senators, the CSF immediately began the investigation. The most serious problem was that the defense grid, which should have engaged the shields on the tower, was off, for just a moment, as the computer rebooted from a software error. At just that moment, the speeder passed the shield’s barrier, and struck exactly where the meeting was occurring.

The head of the CSF’s Anti-Terrorism Unit had called an emergency meeting with agents from the SBI and a representative from the Jedi Order, to attempt to get to the bottom of the attack. Jedi Knight Odakota representing the order, and Agents Yamada, Harkor and Fost from the Senate Bureau of Intelligence. Agents Boldarian and Katal from the CSF were also to be in attendance. The first meeting of the investigative team is at 0800 sharp on the thirty-second floor of the CSF HQ.


Tag: All

OOC: Post you introduction post, to give a feel of your character and their reaction to the attack, and then their travel to the meeting.
