Library The Shearing Shed 2.0: Library thread for the new Black Sheep Squadron game

​

A new game led to my wish for a new Library thread, since the old one was full of character sheets for defunct characters. I wanted an updated roster area. So this is the new thread for the Black Sheep Squadron game. The old Library thread is locked, but it is still accessible HERE and it is a valuable resource. You can read stuff about Star Wars, aviation, flight manuevers, proper radio protocol and anything else. Definitely check it out.

The old thread was created by @Bardan_Jusik, and added to by @Vehn. I copy/pasted some of their material, particularly about the Intrepid, home base for the Black Sheep, and so the credit for those posts goes to them. I do not remember who created our fabulous logo, I'm afraid. If anyone remembers, please feel free to give credit where it is due.

I apologize in advance for any errors. Players in the previous game, you do not need to repost your character bios unless you want to add some updates. Only new players need to post their sheets here, after GM approval (we've got 2 new folks coming aboard, and one oldie returning in a slightly altered form).

Anyone who finds useful links or info related to Star Wars or military aviation, feel free to share them here. I may have started this thread, but I don't own it. It is for all of us.

Originally written by @Bardan_Jusik, but not much has changed.

​

“The Intrepid is a Quasar Fire class cruiser carrier originally employed by the Imperial Navy. Following the destruction of Alderaan the Commanding officer and much of the crew defected to the rebel Alliance, bringing the Intrepid and her TIE based wing with them. In the subsequent years the ship has earned a reputation as a widowmaker for her pilots, with most of the original defecting crew now killed in action and all the TIEs lost to enemy activity."

More recently the Intrepid was retrofitted to accommodate fighters more commonly found throughout the Rebel Alliance, though the reputation of the "Evil I" remains intact, with heavy losses in terms of pilots and craft. The betrayal of former Executive Paul Teague, who passed along information to the Imperial Death's Head Squadron, has not improved that reputation. There are currently four Squadrons aboard the Intrepid.

The Commanding Officer is Captain Adama Husk, a former Imperial and native of Alderaan.
The Executive Officer of the Intrepid is Lt. Colonel Demora Alisol, a former Royal Handmaiden of Naboo
The Intelligence Officer of the Intrepid is Commander Baniss Vermillion
The Communications Officer of the Intrepid is Lieutenant Arrwrr Prrwrrmmrr (Abysnnan female)
The Flight Operation Officer of the Intrepid is Lieutenant Gan Felix

Commander Air Group: Colonel Cort Spence

Viper Squadron: Consisting of 8 A-Wings it is the primary mission of Viper Squadron to protect the Intrepid from attack. The commanding officer of Viper squadron is Commander Jaime "Archer" Lee.

Intruder Squadron: Consisting of 12 X-Wings fighters, this squadron's primary mission is to maintain space superiority either around the Intrepid or a designated target area. It may also lend fire support to strike packages. The commanding officer of Intruder Squadron is Major Trevo “Jester” Kalimin, a human male from Coruscant

Nexu Squadron: Consisting of 6 X-wings and 8 B-wings, they are recent arrivals to the Intrepid. Their primary mission is as an strike group against Imperial targets. The commanding officer of the Star raiders is Captain Shrii “Ramjet” Raminos, a Duros male from Jedha.

The Galley crew includes a Whiphid, who goes by Pudge.

The Medical Crew includes Dr. Raynor, a psyche healer who is kept very busy by the Black Sheep.

 

Character's Name: Jaxx Bardan
Callsign: “Porkchop”
Species: human
Gender: male
Rank/Affiliation: Commander
Languages: Basic
Residence: wherever
Home Planet: Loronar
Age: 39

Character Traits
Personality: friendly and confident (probably over confident). He is a loyal friend and has a strong sense of fair play, although he's not above underhanded action to get the job done.
Habits/Mannerisms: Has lightning reflexes and incredible luck at cards. Loves noodles.
Likes/Dislikes: good beer, good food, straight shooters. Dislikes the Empire, card cheats, too much fancy stuff.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Physical Strengths and Weaknesses: Has slightly above average strength for a human, although he can be a bit of a klutz.
Mental Strengths and Weaknesses: He’s stubborn and doesn’t back down from a fight, but his education has been lacking and he’s not as quick to catch on to things as others

Appearance:
Eye Color: blue
Hair/Fur: light brown and scruffy
Skin Color: medium
Clothing: casual, a bit sloppy. His boots are comfortable and non-regulation, with a blade stashed in the top.

Personal History
Immediate Family: none
Spouse/Children: no spouse, no kids that he knows of
Biography: His parents split up when he was a kid and he was raised by his mother, who was a waitress at a diner. She died of illness when he was in his early 20s. He has no idea where his dad ended up. The family never had money, and he wasn’t keen on formal education so he tried to join the Republic Navy, hoping to fly starfighters. He ended up as a duty pilot, flying transports and freighters, and was injured during the Clone Wars. His dislike of regulations led to him being discharged early. He used his savings to enter a card game, where he won a mid-size freighter, and began working in the Mid Rim and along the Corellian Run and the Hydian Way. His observations of the treatment of people by the Empire, under the guise of “security” led him to start small acts of Rebellion, culminating in his efforts to liberate a small settlement of Sullustans who had opened a small mine.

The effort failed, and his ship was destroyed. However, he managed to join a small group of Rebels who had also come to the aid of the colony, and he escaped with them. His lack of education and impatience have made him a liability in many ways, but his piloting skills and his staunch loyalty and determination mean that this is overlooked. He is also an old acquaintance of Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian and has business dealings with them.

Most recently, he rescued three important members of High Command who had been captured on Hoth. As a reward, he was promoted, although his ability to actually command a squadron is in doubt. However, since the Black Sheep take the whole concept of “command” as a guideline, this seems to be the ideal post for him.

Miscellaneous:
Weapons: Blastech DL-44, and a small blade he keeps tucked in the top of his boot
Starship Qualifications: he can fly anything (or so he says)
Droid: R2-F3 “Egg”

Rank/Affiliation: 2nd Lt. (Former Wing Commander of the Imperial Navy 323rd TIE Interceptor squadron)

Languages: Basic
Residence: None
Home Planet: Byblos
Age: 32


Character Traits: Serious and brooding
Personality: In a way a broken man, scared by events that lead him to abandon the Government he believed in and joined the enemy
Habits/Mannerisms: Reads a lot of classical Old Republic literature, likes to stay to himself - as nobody wants to to hang out with the former Rebel Hunter
Likes/Dislikes: Likes flying, still feeling free only in a cockpit. Hates the Empire he once loved so dearly.
Racial Traits: None


Strengths and Weaknesses: Excellent pilot (also not familiar with Rebel ships), good in hand-to-hand and close quarter combat - really bad with everything not having to do with being a soldier - and astrogation (Imperial fighters have no hyperdrive). Good at tactics and bad at strategy.
Physical Strengths and Weaknesses: Peak physical condition as one would expect from an Imperial fighter pilot
Mental Strengths and Weaknesses: Little of his mental strength remains, suffers from PTSD and carries a lot of emotional baggage - a death wish as he basically plans to kill as many imperial pilots as possible and he is aware he will probably die while doing so
Emotional Strengths and Weaknesses: Stubborn, but angry inside. He is new to being angry, so he isn‘t very experienced with being angry

Appearance: Very imperial, well trained, short hair and a sadness in his eyes

Personal History: A former imperial TIE INTERCEPTOR pilot and squadron leader who has joined the Rebellion recently.

Spouse/Children: Commander Tyra Tavin, ISB
Biography: Born into a military family there never was a choice. He learned to fly when he learned to walk. His father, grandfather and great-grand father were in the navy. All the way back to before the clone wars they served.

At the age of 14 he happily signed on to the Imperial Flight Academy. Usually best or second best of his class when it came to flying. Distinguished student. Feverish and fanatic follower of the New Order. He never had to fly shuttles after training, becoming a TIE Fighter pilot riggt out of the graduation. He never backed down, volunteered even for the most dangerous missions. Fought pirates, insurgents, crime lords and finally more and more often Rebels. He was the youngest officer in the sector to get his own Interceptor Squadron and was on the forefront of hunting rebels in the Midrim. For him war was duty not passion. Flying was a privilege. Dying in service of the Empire an honor.

He married a young ISB officer Tyra Tavin who was their liaison in the Dantoneer campaign and also they both appreciated the boost the union gave to their career they had a wildly romantic and passionate marriage.

They saw each other more rarely after he was transferred to the ISD Dominion, a ship that was part of Lord Vaders command fleet.

His parents were proud.

They said he would one day command his own Star Destroyer if not an entire fleet.

Then he was send to Raltir IV and everything changed. Everything! Their mission was to intercept and destroy evacuating rebels. Twenty transports.

Whatever happened on Raltir IV is only known to him and those members of his squadron that survived the encounter. But the result of that day was the loss of his parents and the defection to the Rebellion.

General Information



Character's Name: Jim Palso
Callsign: Quagmire
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Rank/Affiliation: Self / Mercenary, gun-for-hire & bodyguard, smuggler, cargo hauler, pilot
Languages: Galactic Basic Standard, Huttese, Roadian
Residence: Nomad
Home Planet: Corellia
Age: 26
Approved Special Features (any force sensitivity would go here):

---The Force

Status: Untrained / Unaware

At least as of 2 BBY, Jim Palso has no knowledge that he is a Force-sensitive or to what degree that sensitivity might be. His Force talents, however, could account for his above average quick reflexes and ability to seemingly avoid danger moments before something happens. As of 3 ABY, this information is assumed to be still correct, as Palso has shown no knowledge that he is Force-sensitive, although the degree to which his Force-sensitivity lays is thought to be along the lines of Luke Skywalker in 0 BBY, little more than a understanding as taught by a crazy old wizard (which Palso does not have one of those), and that of Finn in 34 ABY.

Character Traits

Personality: Known as a risk taker and playing the long odds. Observant, impatient, and common sense.
Habits/Mannerisms: Scratching his head, smoothing out his beard, cracking his knuckles and fingers, rubbing his face when tired, cracking his neck. Smokes cigars.
Likes/Dislikes: He likes his Corellian adult beverages, especially Corellian Ale, Corellian Whiskey (Whyren's Reserve on a special day), Corellian Brandy, and Corellian Rum. Water will consume most of his day, as will the once-in-a-while soda. He likes a fixed, yet manageable gym routine, while exploring various historical matters via holodramas, holobooks, and traditional books, especially those subjects involving the rise & fall of nation-states, lost treasure, unsolved historical mysteries, and wars. He considers himself a history enthusiast. He sticks to himself, but enjoys company "on his terms".

His dislikes range from everything to racism and politics to holostars and an individual's lack of personal responsibility. Palso lives by the saying of live and let live and dislikes those who interfere on that basic freedom.
Racial Traits: A typical lone wolf and shoot first, ask questions later Corellian.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Physical Strengths: Defined muscular form, which has increased his physical endurance and ability to take physical damage.
Physical Weaknesses: Hurt left knee, hurt right shoulder, and back problems (between ages 23 & 35 and beyond). Can't swim.
Mental Strengths: Street smarts and common sense. Self-taught book smart.
Mental Weaknesses: Never finished schooling, lacking traditionally educated book smarts. Palso deals with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) from his combat missions with the Rebel Alliance and mercenary work. He deals with the stress with his favorite Corellian adult drinks in an unhealthy fashion.
Emotional Strengths: Palso has an on/off switch for his emotions, a sensitivity training thanks to Talon Karrde that allows him to deal with injury, death, and the horrors of war without interjecting emotions into his duty. While such training is common among almost every military, paramilitary, law enforcement, or emergency response organization, Talon perfected the training in Palso. Ice cold one moment, an understanding ear the next moment. The ability to "box" his emotions per event and regulate his response to those events is highly effective and useful.
Emotional Weaknesses: Emotionally detached to suffering of others and of himself. Despite his on/off switch to his emotions, Palso comes across as cold, heartless, and indifferent in times and moments when emotion and reflection was needed. This has led many people to assume he doesn't care, when he does care.

Looks

Appearance: Physically fit, although not overly done.
Picture: Links do not populate imagine on boards. Instead, hyperlinks are listed. See wiki profile link (here) for more detailed information regarding the character's history since 2004 (be warned, spoilers). The full 19-year history of the character should not be necessarily assumed as factual for this game's universe & story.

See picture: latest (1041×1194) (nocookie.net)

See picture (with hat): latest (1632×1368) (nocookie.net)

Eye Color: Blue-gray
Hair/Fur: Brown
Skin Color: Caucasian
Height: 5'10
Weight: 200 lbs
Clothing:
Palso wears black tactical pants tucked into dark brownish red maroon colored high shock boots (below the knee) with a armorweaved long-sleeve green shirt (brown suspenders are over the shirt). A dark brownish red maroon colored leather right thigh holster & belt holds a S-5 Heavy Blaster Pistol, while a black colored leather left cross-draw belt holster holds a WESTAR-34 Blaster Pistol, and a dark brownish red maroon colored leather left thigh holster & belt holds another WESTAR-34 Blaster Pistol. A black leather gun belt is over the leather holsters and around his waist, holding two small hard leather pouches (one on either side) and one soft leather pouch on the right side. Palso also kept a pair of fingerless black leather gloves in one of the pouches, as well as a comlink, 2 ration packs, and galactic credits in the other pouches; he also had a metal water canteen on the back left hip of the gun belt.

All ammunition for the various weapons is carried on their respective holster belts, while a phrik forged boot knife & brown scabbard is in the right boot. A roasted coffee bean color open chested overcoat (blast armor) is warn over his body when outside of a starship he is part crew or a starship he owns; also, while outside a starship, he wears a black bandanna (or brown with a black stripe down the middle, pictured) and black aviator sunglasses. In 2 BBY, Palso acquired a black wide brim hat (pictured below) on the same day he stole the future Hunk of Junk. From that point on, he mostly wears just the hat and black bandanna under it (or brown bandanna with a black stripe down the middle), while wearing the black aviator sunglasses selectively, but not with the hat the same time.

For heavier engagements, Palso wears two bandoliers in an X across his chest (inside the jacket), which houses ammunition for his E-22 Blaster Rifle (modified with a vertical forward grip & brown rifle sling), 1 thermal imploder, and 3 concussion grenades.


Personal History

Immediate Family: Growing up on Corellia to two middle class parents---or so it would seem---his mother played the housewife, while his father was a smuggler. But more than a smuggler, Jim's father was a Jedi Knight hiding from the Jedi Purge after the Clone Wars. Taking a role of a smuggler---a true joy of flying deep in his blood---Jack Palso wouldn't tell Jim of his true identity, or of Jim's potential in The Force himself---before he died when Jim was 9 years old.

Despite his hidden identity, Jack Palso raised his son to respect and honor the Jedi. But when Jack Palso was cut down by the very people he respected and honored so much in front of Jim's eyes, Jim developed an extreme hatred of the Jedi, calling the Jedi "that foolish religion".

Jim considers Talon Karrde family, the only family he really has left.
Spouse/Children: None

Biography:
Jim Palso is a Corellian mercenary and smuggler. Since 9 years old, Palso was raised by his father's best friend, Talon Karrde, after his father's death (and his mother's suicide after his father's death). Jim Palso would grow up further amidst thieves, mercenaries, smugglers, and spacers alike. After serving with Karrde and his organization for a number of years, at 17 years of age, Jim broke out on his own (despite Karrde's wishes he wouldn't). Jim's first independent job was with The Mercs, an organization Talon had recommended Palso checked out.

Known as a risk taker and playing the long odds, Jim Palso had become a respectable mercenary & sometime pirate with the Mercs by age 21. That same year, in 2 BBY, Palso would take ownership of the Hunk of Junk and the droids Bugger & Walking Library. At age 24, after 7 years with The Mercs, Palso struck out on his own after the events of Project Zero's destruction in 1 ABY. By age 26---2 years later---Palso had established himself as a reliable smuggler & solid mercenary and could be heard in the same conversations as Dash Rendar in cantinas across the galaxy. Since age 17 and over the next 9 years, Palso has proven to be a capable pilot of air speeders, light freighters, and starfighters alike. He's become known for being quick on the draw with his WESTAR-34 Blaster Pistol (left side draw across the front) & shoot first, ask questions later mentality; he's also a proven gunfighter with few equals. Palso knows moderate martial arts skills, mainly an art known as Tae Kwon Do and other self-defense techniques.

In that same year of age 26, 3 ABY, he was double crossed by the Rebel Alliance and made the fall guy after a mission gone wrong against the Galactic Empire. While the Hunk of Junk, his droids Bugger & Walking Library, and several rescued refugees & wounded Rebels were able to escape with Talon Karrde's help aboard the light freighter, Palso was captured by the Empire as he bought time for everyone to get onboard of the Hunk of Junk and out of harm's way. After his capture, Palso was secretly transferred to and imprisoned temporarily at a remote listening post while awaiting a pick-up by an Military Intelligence transport. There is no news as to if or when Talon Karrade will launch a mission to rescue the Corellian mercenary.

As of the writing of this biography, Palso has been employed with a Rebel Alliance starfighter squadron for an undisclosed amount of time. The terms of his service are assumed to be related to his rescue by said starfighter squadron's commandos at the listening post, but his employment with the Rebel Alliance is said to be of more dubious circumstances under the all-telling "classified" red stamp.

Miscellaneous

Pets: None

Weapons: One S-5 Heavy Blaster Pistol (on person), two WESTAR-34 Blaster pistols (on person), and one a phrik forged boot knife (on person). Carried on select missions is his E-22 Double Barrel Blaster Rifle.

Personal History

Immediate Family: no known living family.

Biography:
Was one of the few nonClone pilots in the last year of the Clone Wars. he flew a Y-Wing bomber his flightcrew were all clones, and had no issue with him. they became a close crew. They fortunately were not involved in Order 66 since they were not assigned to a Jedi task force,

Vortan never felt one way or another about the Jedi, even when serving under them he knew they were not military officers. but they tried and most listened to the advice of those who knew War. After the war, Vortan did not join the Empire, he was transfered to a planetary defense forse near the outer rim. he was able to take his Y-Wing with him, since the Empire phased them out of service. his Clone Gunner was able to go with him, may have had to do with being listed as KIA in the last battle they took part in. Vortan never confimrmed that he arranged that.

While the Empire began cracking down on the universe, Six, his gunner and him saw where things were going and began workign with the local Rebel group. over the years, Six was killed in action, against an Imperial Convoy, and the Y-Wing was damaged. In repairing the Y-Wing, it was converted into the standard look that most of the Alliance Y-Wings did. Vortan preferred that, since it was lighter and more agile, well, compaired to the Clone Wars version. but, as Vortan says it, fighting a Vulture Droid in an armored Y-Wing is harder than fighting a Tie in the stripped down one. about 14 years after the Empire was decalred, Vortan left behind all he knew before and dedicated himself to the fight.

Personality and abilities

sometimes anti-social, but dependable. think old veteran with a touch of PTSD. the empire is the only real trigger. absolute hate for the Empire but will not give details. Older, late 40s, been flying a Wishbone since it was barely used. likes the stripped-down version better than the Clone Wars variant.

Knows the limits in a Dog Fight, so her refuses to dogfight, (Think Flying Tigers, with the P40) has his Ion Cannon usually pointed to the rear to "encourage" Ties to break off and let him create distance.

His R5 Unit, can swing the Ion Cannon to forward if required, but He prefers to use Ion Torpedoes, since they punch more. That Ion Cannon only has 2 stops, Streight ahead or Streight behind. nothing more.




Miscellaneous: rarely seen smiling

Starship Qualifications: Y-Wing, Z-95, can fly an assortment of freighters, a good gunner as well

.

 

This is what I might look like just hanging, ready for a mission just gotta put the vest, leg straps and chestbox on and good to go

 

I'm gonna assume no one will play the commander roie, so I'll work up an exchange and turn to the other pilots in the bar. in a post tomorrow. Move things along a bit

maybe even order a drink lol would I be the only one openly armed in the bar (I don't usually suggest that lol but I'm not gonna drink heavy lol

 

@Mistress_Renata plays the commander. She's juggling a lot of balls right now, so we just need to be patient while she works out a reply. Could be a combo with everyone who's there, we'll see.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Physical Strengths and Weaknesses: Physically strong, a capable swimmer and runner. His lung capacity could be better thanks to his usage of Cigarras.
Mental Strengths and Weaknesses: Would be considered rather resilient mentally but has been known, when imbibing too much to break out into tears. It is clear he suffers from some form of PTSD from before he joined up with a splinter group that eventually folded into the Rebellion but he doesn't talk often about that.
Emotional Strengths and Weaknesses: The few times he has encountered Imperial Labor camps he seems to get into a fit of rage. Sometimes prisoners that were taken at labor camps have had accidents before they were brought to processing or died attempting to escape when Cod was tasked with helping to escort them. It is assumed this has something to do with his past.

Biography: Cod Erdi is an interesting fighter. It is clear that he was living a comfortable life until about 5 years before the Battle of Yavin when he joined a splinter group fighting the Empire. Not much is known about what made him give up his comfortable life for one of struggle and fighting but he has mentioned that his callsign came from a man named Kino Loy who saved him from a fate worse than death but that he never met him. Some have mentioned that he talks of having spent time in an Imperial Labor facility at some point but that he escaped. He does not talk about that time often but seems willing to open up a bit more about his time in the facility with those he trusts and flies with over time. He is a few years shy of turning 30 years old at the age of 28 and while not a seasoned veteran of the fights of the Rebellion he has a warrior spirit and ethos. He was present at the Battle of Yavin but due to supply shortages after the Battle of Scarif he manned a console in the command center as opposed to the cockpit of an X-Wing where he feels most at home.
