I don't need a bio, though. I am supposed to be "mysterious" and I guess that means that my character will reveal is little secrets a little bit at a time.

 

Just wanted to mention that Daynera Jacan is Azreal Jacans daughter.

Thanks for adding me to the roster.

Any time, LeiaB!

 

I'll be gone this weekend. LB or whoever-make a new roster if ppl join, 'k?

 

Hey McClain
Just in the hopes that this will NOT turn out like Thunderstrike Squadron - too much planning and no action...
I assume you want 12 members in the squad..but how many do you want on the roster before you plan on starting the story?

Anyone interested in joining..please list your characters name so we can add you to the roster!

and have a good weekend!

 

All my posts from yesterday seem to have disappeared. Hopefully I'm not posting this twice.

Full Name: Nijub
Species: Ewok
Homeworld: The Sanctuary Moon
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Desired Flight Number (Pick From Available): Endurance 9
Rank: Lieutenant (Heck, everybody else is)
Call Sign (Character's Nickname): Gorax, officially, but usually squadmates end up calling him Kettch
Astromech Droid (Droid's Nickname and #): Teek (R7-D2)
Level Of Force Sensitivity: Minimal
Appearance (Eyes, Hair, Other): Brown and beige fur, black eyes
Personality (Basics): Friendly, outgoing, curious, and fed-up with Kettch jokes
Brief History: A young ewok, just barely grown beyond a wokling, looked up at the starfighters passing overhead after the destruction of the Death Star, and determined that one day he would be in one of those space hanggliders, with him controlling it.
It took a long time and a lot of hard work. Nijub stowed away on one of the Rebel ships as they left the moon after their celebration party. Fortunately, the Rebels that found him were too kind to space him and too lazy to take him back.
Over the next ten years, Nijub learned basic then learned all he could about starships and how to fly them from various sources. Finally, his skills were advanced enough he could apply to the New Republic's Flight Academy. He's been flying with the Republic for five years now.

I made XO! Cool! Thanks, Darth McClain!
Oh, and by the way, Thosan has an R2 unit named R2-D9.

 

Thanks LeiaB! Sci-it only showed up once. Ty-Gon-I give the second highest origional member that honor! We have 9 pilots with bios. We can start tommarow!

 

Here is my bio:

Name: Rell Mynk

Species: Human

Home world: Unkown

Ship: Slowburner, a 4,000 year old Coruscant-class Heavy Courier

Status: Bountyhunter

Age: Unkown, thought to be 30

Specifications: A bountyhunter of unknown status, is rumored to be ruthless to his prey. Has been in the service of mainly the enemies of the Empire, though he has gone to the employer who pays the highest.

He his dressed in a dark black suit of high density metal armor, with a jetpack and plasma gun. He carries a high-powered assault rifle and is known to be a crack-shot with a sniper rifle.

Most of the information on this mysterious character is unknown due to his efficiency at his job. It is known that when you do become his target you never survive to see the light of day.

 

Hey McClain - you're the lead....I agree, time to start the thread.
It's your story, so go...we've got enough members to get started

 

Rell's rearing to go!

 

*is thinking for mission idea*

 

Got one!
Ok here it is!
****
Vidlis manages to capture The NRI director, General Tey Quinn, and has him on his ISDIII, Renegade. Skinner finds out and sends a task force from his flagship (a SSD of course!) to capture Quinn. Quinn's chief agent, Jell Fids, notices his disapearence and then Endurance Squad is called in. Rell is hired by Vidlis to stop Skinner's force, but he is offered tons of money not to by the Sith Lord him self.
****
Sound good?

 

Sounds good. But who is Ridlis (or whatever his name is)?

 

TSL-if you would read Polis' bio, yoy would learn that Vidlis is the destroyer of his former squad.

 

Okay, thanks. Can we start now?

 

Okay, Go Ahead and start, DMcC

 

Frosty joined. Here is her bio:
Name: Maggie Tydarien
Age: 21
Rank: Lieutenant
Species: Human, Coruscant-born (what do you call a native? Coruscantian?)
Hair: Red, cropped spike-short, with a beaded tail behind right ear. (no, it is NOT a Padawan braid.)
Appearance: 5'11", skinny, with sharp features. Golden eyes.
Other: Force-sensitive, carries a lightsaber (though she isn't terribly good with it yet). Careless of other people's property, sardonic sense of humor. R2 unit named Rustbucket. Likes to slice into files. Good X-wing pilot.

 

Hey, I figured this was as good a place as any to start marking "constructive criticism" threads somehow. Hence the "ConCrit."

Anyway, I had a suggestion for the next time the SWAFF awards are done. Granted, there are a few things that just struck me as "WHA?" when I read them, and I still think the term "cameo" should be refined, since that's not really what you're meaning, but . . .

The big thing I'm thinking is perhaps having small clips from each of the nominated films up for checking out. My main reason is that the Dark Side film is excellent. Good story, nifty ending, etc. Of the people I know who have seen it, almost all of them place it in their top 3 fav. fan films. BUT . . . I don't think it can possibly get the kind of consideration with the SWAFF People's Choice since the file itself is almost 300 MB, which has to be download in, what, 17 files? Most people haven't even seen it, for the sheer size considerations. Now, granted, they don't want their film recompressed or anything, but couldn't a small clip of this, and other fan films--especially those not on TFN--be put up at the FFX or SWAFF area to let these films, if not get the full consideration they deserve, then to at least take a step in that direction.

It's something to think about at least.

 

I agree. In speaking to others through mirc alot of people havent even seen all of the nominees, yet voted in almost every category. They recognized one of the 4 0r 5 films in the group and just voted for it. I realize this is a slightly different problem, because there is now way to monitor everyones votes and whether or not they viewed the film, but I personally would feel better if they could at least have a clip to see a little piece of the others. Something that exemplifies why a particular piece was nominated. For example in the fight scene nomination show the best fight scene from each movie. Same for visual effects etc...

I have to agree with nightrunner on this one your highnass

 

My question is this ... who decided who was and was not on this "academy?" I mean, no one asked me to join.

And will winners in each category join the academy like in AMPAS?

Herein lies the question.

 

I asked that same question, because I was interested in becoming a voting member. Apparently a while back there were applications to become an Academy member. I think this was probably before there was any hype so that they wouldn't just get a bunch of people like they would now.
