Star Wars RP(Shroud of Darkness) OOC/Discussion

Nebarri_Prime

Some people might remember a Star Wars RP called "Shroud of Darkness: Unmasked" from a long time ago, for those of you who do not, it was based on an alteration of events regarding General Grievious's and Mace Windu's deaths, resulting in both surviving , Sidious fleeing and Grievious deciding to leave Kenobi hanging on for his life rather then deciding to try and finish him.

at this point, i want to start a similar RP, either picking up a few years after the last one, as a sequel, restarting the original concept, or altering a different part of one of the movies, such as having Dooku escape or something.

ideas and opinions welcome, and sorry for those of you who were in the original, i don't remember who was involved.

also sorry for any spelling/grammar errors, i am not exactly good at spotting my own errors, even with the help of spell/grammar checkers.

I'm...intrigued. But Im in several other RPs, so I probably don't have time until at least one of them ends. If your still accepting new people then, I may join. Hope this doesn't die in the meantime.

It's late at night where I live, so I'm going to have to think on the substantive stuff. I'll get back to you.

Exactly how would we go about doing this with NS nations? I, for example, am not SW-based, so where would I fit into this?
Nebarri_Prime
27-07-2008, 09:33
I haven't been on NS in a while, and i have to catch up on the rules, but from what i just read, this would have to be done somewhere else(as it is an "Alternate-History" thread. they said nothing about recruiting, which is essentially what i am doing. aside from that, this is a character base RP, not faction based.

as for how to join, well, i suppose we would need to decide what exactly we are going to do, then we can make a forum for RPing, and allow people to select characters...assuming we don't start after Order 66, which i doubt we would, i reserve my ever favorite Aayla Secura, I would say you can do the same, Tuxu.

and Marionetonia, i look forward to hearing back from you

I suggest: General Grievious escapes Obi-Wan grasp and fakes his own death. He doesn't go back to Sideous but flees to an outer-rim planet and escapes the genocide of Jedi Knights.

After the Sith takes over the galaxy, the Rebels rise against the Empire and General Grievious sides with the Rebel Alliance with an unknown reason. After the battle of Yavin 4 and the Rebels flee to Hoth, the Battle of Hoth is a Rebel Victory and the Empire is force to retreat from the Hoth System. The RPG starts off when Hoth has a second attack with the Rebels gaining the upper hand again! The Empire also sends down a small task force to Bespin which requests aid from the Rebel Alliance.

If we do this, could I play as General Grievious?
The Romulan Republic
27-07-2008, 21:17
General Grevious has quite the reputation as a genocidal maniac. He was supposed to be the post-war scapegoat for the Seperatists atrocities. What would the rebels gain by accepting him? They'd lose a lot of popular support, give the empire an excellent piece of propoganda, and they already have good officers to command.

It makes more sense to have Grevious leading a rouge third party faction if he survived.

I thought the no alt-history rule applied only to alt-history of real life events, not universes that were fictional to begin with. I'm in an on-site Star Trek RP, and I've seen others like it.

What if he commandeered a planet and built a droid factory, gathered support, and created a droid based faction
The Romulan Republic
27-07-2008, 21:33
Not that Greivious was pure droid, but there have been at least one or two droid rebellions that went no where in Star Wars. Maybe Grievious could attempt one.

Alright, perhaps my initial guess was incorrect.


as for the Grievous idea, I'm not particularly big on what i generally see as a minor change...In my opinion, without the support of the CIS behind him Grievous probably couldn't do all that much, and the rest is thus not changed so much. then again, thats just my opinion...personally i would prefer something that followed along the original Shroud of Darkness RP's line, in which the Jedi featured heavily(rather then starting out with the Jedi already heavily purged)

If i am not mistaken, Amazonian Beasts and i think it was DMZ were major participants in the last one.

Regarding the Grievous Concept (sounds like the title of a bad Robert Mitchum parody):

First, in the actual movie, though he grandstanded a lot, he seemed to be both loyal and concerned for the wellfare of those under his protection. He was almost heroic. They say that the difference between the best heroes and the worst villains is choice of cause. I suggest that Grievous would make a great addition to the Rebels' forces.

Second, if his name is bad news, he could always attempt to assume a new identity...
Lynion
28-07-2008, 09:23
That's fair enough. If we do that, could I play as Grievous but change his name and make him with a straighter back and less coughing?
Nebarri_Prime
28-07-2008, 09:30
I guess i could go with this "Grievous Concept", though not in the same way as it is first stated, the Battle of Hoth is both, IMO to far in the future(i would be ok with, say, some early stuff, possibly as late as 12BBY or so), with potential alternate histories regarding several Jedi...again, my desire to RP as Aayla Secura, and the year having to do with the fact that playing a 50 or so year old Aalya "feels" wierd to me.

And then there is the almost certain impossibility of Hoth repelling the Empire twice...

That's fair enough. If we do that, could I play as Grievous but change his name and make him with a straighter back and less coughing?

name change is easy(though he should probably be referred to as Grievous in RP, except with the mention of his new name), the body change would have probably cost a lot of money and help, and the coughing is unavoidable i think
[NS]Dastardly Stench
28-07-2008, 09:42
He got the bad back and the cough from Mace Windu. If we're changing history before their square-off occurred, Grievous would have a straight back and no cough.
Lynion
28-07-2008, 09:46
Grievous will cough from time to time but not as much as in Episode 3. Actually I've thought of change that could happen. Why not have it as: General Grievious is still part droid but his home planet was aided by the Republic against their enemy and he joined the Republic and became a skilled lightsaber swordsman.

But really if Grievous does go into this, he finds a driod factory and pumps out his own driod army. He could side with the Rebels under a different name but he'll have to have 'disappeared' for awhile before surfacing again. Maybe he hides in one of the outer-rim planets.
Nebarri_Prime
29-07-2008, 01:23
I don't know about that...


but I don't want everyone getting caught up on this plot, there are other ideas I am sure..

EDIT: What I mean by the above statement is that i don't want to just go with one of my ideas or the one stated above regarding Grievious...perhaps in regards to a sequel, i could post an old summery i once made on here, and or an old concept for a sequel...

Greivious was no hero. He was a brutal monster who killed both his own and probably large numbers of enemy civilians, if the novelization is anything to go by. But he was cunning, and determined, and I don't think he would just go under ground and play dead if he lived past his fight with Kenobi. And if he found out Palpatine was Sideous, and that he was suckered by the Sith, and especially if he found out it was they who turned him into a cyborg, boy is he going to be pissed.

I can see him secretly aiding the Rebellion as it forms, since they are the only real threat to Palpatine. For Greivious though, it wouldn't be about idealism, but revenge. It could also create an interesting moral dilema for the rebels if they found out who their supporter was. They would probably have to help Greivious and cover up his identity to avoid the loss of moral and the negative propaganda that would come with being associated with him. And remember, Kenobi's helping the Alliance. He and Grevious would both want each other's heads.

Of course there are other ways you could go with this. I'm just trying to illustrate some of the possibilities with Grevious backing the rebels.

This could work out, and with the difference in events(Mace, Fisto, Kolar, and Tiin were originally going to go to Palpy to tell him Grievious was dead, and that he should let go of his powers) certain things could be changed, permitting some of us to use our Jedi characters...provided we consider this the early rebellion, only a few years or so after Revenge of the Sith...
Lynion
29-07-2008, 09:56
So what's the plot then?
Nebarri_Prime
29-07-2008, 10:14
more or less:

Grievious is not killed by Obi-Wan, so the Council does not assemble the four masters to confront Palpy, Anakin however was still basically told by Palpy that he is the Sith Lord, and thus Anakin reports this to Windu, the difference in time and place of certain Jedi permits their survive in some why while the encounter with Windu(or possibly other Jedi with the Alt-History), Sidious, and Anakin plays out similar, but somewhat different, thus allowing the Purge to still happen. after which the surviving Jedi start going into hiding or forming up elsewhere, while the Empire begins squishing people, and the rebellion begins to form...Grievious secretly supporting this whisper of an alliance to restore the republic. a number of events in Revenge of the Sith would/could be altered...so much so that its possible Anakin never became scarred as he did...
Lynion
29-07-2008, 10:30
That sounds better and much clearer. I'm willing to take part of it even if I gain or don't gain the control of Grievious. What I'm thinking of is giving Grievious a Jedi apprentiance to help him deal with the dealings between him and the Rebellion. I don't think Grievious should make visual appearance between him and the Rebellion.

One question: Is it possible that Vadar could've picked up something about Grievious or is it presume that he can't detect Grievious?

Grievious was not force sensitive, so, its unlikely Vader would pick him up from across a galaxy, as for picking something up from scouts, it should be assumed that the Empire would probably wish to find him, he is a fairly dangerous person to have let loose when you are trying to establish order. Grievious may very well be hunted by the Empire as much as the Jedi. as for a Jedi apprentice, I don't know about that, perhaps, but i think a droid or someone else would be more likely.(such as Jango using Zam when he tried to assassinate Padme)
Lynion
29-07-2008, 11:23
Yeah, a driod like Jedi/Sith but similiar to Grievious. We'll figure out something.
Nebarri_Prime
29-07-2008, 11:31
He could always have a reprogrammed one of his IG-100 bodyguard droids, armed with a Lightsaber rather then the staffs they usually had
Lynion
29-07-2008, 11:43
that could work. one question: when do you intend to put the RPG up?
Nebarri_Prime
29-07-2008, 11:50
Well, as far as i know, while this seems to be the working plot, there is no set timeline, and i only know of three characters that have been "reserved" aside from my own, so, it could take a while. once stuff is worked out, i suppose i will make a different thread for OOC/Signup, rather then have new people read through three pages of discussion over what we plan to do and such, at the same time, an IC thread could finally be made, and then i suppose most of us will cover what has happened and what has been altered from "historic" star wars for their characters, between Grievious not dying, and whatever year we start in(15-12ish BBY?)

Lack of sensitivity to the force does not equate to invulnerability to its affects. If anything, the opposite of this is true. A force-sensative would have an easier time finding Grievous because Grievous has no way to counter this.
[NS]Dastardly Stench
29-07-2008, 16:16
I could see The Metal Man working in this. He is a non-forse-sensative cyborg, but he has one special power that levels the playing field: for reasons that are not relevant at the moment, he is anti-esper. The power of The Force is reduced (but not eliminated) near him. (In essence, this is a mechanism to prevent RP'ers of high-level esper-sensatives from godmodding--if it presents a problem during an RP, I'll gladly negotiate a loophole.)

Though he is good, he follows the gray path--neither Sith nor Jedi. None of them trust him, but they all work with him.

He would make an ideal go-between for Grievous, Obi-wan and the like. Sideous and Vader would probably find him useful as a behind-the-scenes messenger--though he'd give them fits if they tried to track or follow him.

Is this general pattern acceptable?

Its somewhat both ways really, a non-sensative person has nothing to counter a search, however, the stronger you are with the force, the larger your "ripple" would be...

I suppose Grievous's would probably be "gray sided",
assuming Grievous never caught wind that Sidious and Palpy were one and the same.

Any one familiar with the novel Dark Lord? Its during and immediately after Revenge of the Sith, and its my favorite Star Wars novel. Its about both Darth Vader, and a group of renegade Jedi who survive the initial stages of the purge. I might play one of the Jedi characters from it if this ever gets off the ground.

I think the general story line is good. But what time? Immediately post RotS means less filling in the missing time, and allows us to jump right into the action. The Rebellion, however, is no where near formed. Also, this story seems to lean towards dealing more with "grey" characters, which makes setting it a few years post-RotS logical. These were the "dark times", before the formation of the Rebellion. Back then, it was just the Empire and the crime lords, plus a few resistance groups just getting started. At this point, Greivious could help start the Rebellion.
Nebarri_Prime
30-07-2008, 06:23
I don't have 'Dark Lord' but i do have "Volume 9" of the Clone Wars Comics, "Endgame" which features an encounter between Vader and several Jedi after the Purge. not sure if they reflect the same story or not, but i will guess "probably not"


I intend to use the altered plot to let Secura survive, after which she will effectively go into hiding someplace, until she feels a need to come out of hiding through the force(at which point she will join the fledgling Rebellion or something)

I was honestly thinking no later then 12BBY (or 7 years after RotS) though i am perfectly willing to go as early as right after RotS finishes up. perhaps a middle ground such as 15 or 16BBY?
The Romulan Republic
30-07-2008, 06:50
Their are advantages to doing it right after RotS, and advantages to doing it just as the Rebellion's getting started, which is canonicaly a few years at most before 0BBY(though obviously we can alter the timeline). However, I see no real advantages to going somewhere in between. I say put the matter to a vote, but thats just me and my democratic tendencies. At any rate, I'm in. I should warn you now, however, that I may be without computer access for a week or two starting on the 18th of August.
Nebarri_Prime
30-07-2008, 07:03
If it wasn't for democratic tendencies i would have set up an IC thread by now :p

a vote we can have, but on either starting right after RotS, or on saying the rebellion is starting sooner then it did canonly, to keep Secura fairly young(me and my damn dislike of using an old Secura! :p)

being without computer access is fine i guess, i would suggest avoiding huge entanglements with other PCs in the RP around that time, so as to avoid slowing the RP(and losing people), which happens so often...but perhaps you already had that in mind, or something?

So...what's the actual scenario? HOW MUCH sooner?

Most logical is to have the Republic disintegrate when Palpatine was declared Emperor--to have the "Separatist Block" pull away and form the Rebellion, be crushed, and the remaining forces coalesce into a true guerrilla fighting force.

Separatists and members of the "petition of the 2000" i think should become major members of the Rebels, as was fairly true with canon history. and how much sooner? well, 12BBY i already stated as the closest to the Battle of Yavin i would like to get, 2BBY or later was when the rebellion started to get organized(rather then just being a bunch of disorganized factions across the galaxy)

Scenario 1: Grievious isn't killed, some events change allowing certain characters to survive, then these characters do something or another during the following years until ??BBY when the rebellion starts to get organized.

Scenario 2: Grievious isn't killed, some events change, and are explained in early posts, and we pick up right after Revenge of the Sith.

----

As with the first Shroud of Darkness, "custom" characters are not preferred, but not against the rules(provided they are within acceptable levels of realism), one of the major concepts behind custom characters is that they would normally be less powerful then canon characters(particularly for Force users), due to the fact that custom characters are frequently wanked and because they have no canon backstory for success in the major battles and such(they appear to have done less "amazing" things that are common for the stronger Jedi)

Either senario has its pros and cons. As far as custom characters are concerned, I agree with you in general. One of the big problems with recent official Star wars is the tendency to introduce new, over-powered characters who have never been mentioned before. Of course, its possible to have old characters who are insanely over-done as well(see publications on Boba Fett). In the end, it comes down to the responsibility of the individual author, or in this case, RPer.

furthermore, i hear he is working on reforming the Mandalorian Empire...which seems to me to be against his character...

Well, I vote for a while after ROTS.

As for Boba, I know about the Mandalorian Garbage, but a light saber dual with Vader? Who wrote that, so I know who never to buy a book by?

Of course most character's abilities have been blown way out of proportion. Any future Star Wars should focus more on the ordinary guys of the Galaxy, rather than trying to top the last hero's feat till it just gets rediculous.

I could try that idea for a character, either find or create a regular soldier who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Nebarri_Prime
02-08-2008, 02:51
random soldier might be interesting, as for Boba Fett vs Vader, apparently it is from "Star Wars Tales" that has not been referenced elsewhere, so its level of canonicity is ambiguous.

Either a random soldier, or a very low level Jedi. Someone who survived the Purge, but their Master was killed, so their inexperienced and lack proper training. Seeing how relatively ordinary people deal with extreme situations can make for a very good character.

wait i wnt to vote for senario2 and i would like to reserve Quinlan Vos!


you can see him here! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinlan_Vos

alright, the vote thus far doesn't change the existing scenario, but Vos is reserved for you.

as for when we start, unless someone introduced something that would put it on hold, i think i shall make a new OOC/Signup thread within the next 24 hours, and soon after make an IC thread

Folks, I'm postponing my involvement in that other start-up thread pending this one. (I don't like threads that start out with everybody going "I got my ships. My ships are bigger 'n your ships. I flew 'em out to shoot at something.")

I'm planning on having an introduction--for the thread where I eventually participate--that's a LITTLE more intricate.

There's a transport ship that pirates are attacking. It's carrying an ambassador, who has two Jedi for body guards. On their way to the escape pod, they run into the Metal Man, and get involved in a brief sword fight. It ends when TMM shows 'em the 12 or so kids he's trying to get into that escape pod with that ambassador. No one is killed, but the ambassador, who doesn't like kids, isn't happy.

Thought it would be the perfect intro to the character.

Waiting for the chance to execute it. (Hint, hint. Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink.)

I don't know were you got the "I got my ships. My ships are bigger 'n your ships. I flew 'em out to shoot at something." from, but ok

also, some of you may have noticed i have not made the second startup yet. this would be because i was busy, now as it is late, and i have work tomorrow, i shall make the thread after work tomorrow

Quoting post #4:

The Super Star Destroyer First Response was a marvel. It was second of six Super Star Destroyers in the new Imperial Navy and had been given to Admiral Torsk by Lord Vectivous. When Torsk finished his transmission with Avenger he began readying the 14 capital ships in his fleet. Five Imperial Star Destroyers, Eight Interdictor Cruisers, and his own Super Star Destroyer. Once all preparations were done the fleet left for Kamino.


-----------------------------------

Quoting post #8:

Mandalore the Great stood on the bridge of the space station, surveying his assembled fleet in front of him through the large viewports of the control area. It had been a long time since a Mandalorian fleet of this size had been assembled...


----------------------------------

Post #10 (first sentence):

The mighty ships of the 6th Fleet arrived in the Kuat System.


----------------------------------

Post #24:

Wodenskjald came up next his commander and touched the corner of one orbiting holoscreen, which obediently blinked and changed to show readouts from the hundred-odd hyperspace drones he had dispatched towards the nearest systems...

-----------------------------------




Need I continue (this is by no means the end of this unsavory parade)?

I'm with you on this one. I was in that thread (as Skyland Mt) for all of one post. I may go back to it if its still going, though I doubt I can be bothered to play catch-up. But I just was bored by it. This is probably why. A good RP requires the patience to establish characters and worlds, and that one had to much of a jump into the action attitude with out giving reasons why we should give a damn. I'm not saying everyone's at fault, but there was some low quality posting their.

Looks like this is going nowhere. However, I will not be able to post much for three weeks starting on the 18th, due to moving cross-country and starting university. If this is still happening then, I'll jump back in, if that's ok.

Alright, sorry for the total lack of posts since i was last here, but hey...now I really do have time, and I'll make sure i make a post before i go to sleep...hopefully the RP can go longer then three weeks without dieing...that would be disappointing, and as Rom has no "reserved" character(by name at least) that i am aware of, so that won't cut out any character while he is gone...

That is what I think i said i was going to make, along with the fact that i wanted to make a new sign-up which wouldn't be clogged with "what should we do" discussion and have the plot and claims in the topic(though the two latter could have been edited in)

very soon I'll make the IC thread <_<
