Regina Gerze

[Whisper's Syndrome]

I was told by Duke of Nuts that you needed more different on this forums...that is what makes my character different, it ties in with her back ground and makes her who she is. You can't take away the fundamentals of a character or they aren't that character...this is a fundamental. It's unusual because no body else utilizes a whip-Katana mixture of weapons except for me and I doubt anybody else will in the future so don't try to make me change that part of her, she is who she is...

 

[Chairdor]

I did however say you had to be balanced and work along the same lines as every newbie. You can work yourself into the character you desire, but the work comes first

 

[Whisper's Syndrome]

As I said before;

I am okay with changing everything EXCEPT the single idiosyncratic combat style. The SW universe doesn't have a fighting style for whips so I may as well leave since I won't be changing that...see ya'.

 

[Tank]

She utilizes whips...I will not change that about her. There is NOT a combat style for whips and my goal is when I get her to a Sith to utilize whips. This combat style is made specifically for whips. Sorry, but I will probably not be changing that unless you find me a combat style made to cater to whips.

How is an Urumi anything like a whip? A Urumi is a type of sword and is nothing like a whip, the way you utilize them is completely different. With the Urumi you have to incorporate movements that ensure you don't get cut in half...for the way you use a whip look to Catwoman...

 

[Whisper's Syndrome]

PS: The difference in stances between a whip user and someone utilizing a Urumi is evident as well...

 

[Sophia McLaren-Cobb]

Since you want to use a whip, try Form IV: Ataru. It allows you to use two-handed or single handed weapons and it would work fine with a whip.

PSS: If you're next suggestion is regarding the chain whip, used in the martial art of Wushu or whatever, note that it utilizes a drastically different style as well.

 

[Whisper's Syndrome]

Point taken, but I'm still leaving the RP. I've ruined my rep enough as it is by being a jerk so why try to mend what is already broken...well...bye, I guess. ):

 

[Tank]

They are used similarly, just trying to help out. To be honest I don't know of any fighting styles that incorporate whips, but a whip could be utilized in the same manner as a Urumi, especially a force whip. Constant movements would keep the tendrils from burning yourself and provide a difficult defense to break through.

You've already shot the idea down so I'm assuming it's not your first choice but it'd be a good fallback if nothing else presents itself.

 

[Sophia McLaren-Cobb]

If this character doesn't work out for you, you can always fix it up a bit. For once, try looking at the characters other people make. It would help stabilize your character if you had an example (Don't use other people's ideas though).

 

[Whisper's Syndrome]

Sorry about yesterday guys...I've been having freak out, lately. It's back and forth. I'll hop on it tomorrow.

Hello Whisper, an interesting character you have here :)

There are howeverac couple of things in here that i have questions or comments about.

Crystalline butterflies? What is that? A creation of your own making?

New characters start with 1,000 credits, you dont start with a fortune regardless of history

As an acolyte, you generally have a limited pool of Force powers, usually the Core powers (jump, pull, push, telepathy, telekinesis, sense). Advanced abilities and techniques like memory rub, art of movement, detoxify ,levitate, force lightning, etc need to be trained before you can use them.

In that same vein, lightsaber techniques are limited to a single form for an acoyte, that includes combinations of sabee techniques, so youre fightinf style needs to be edited.

Individiuals are not allowed to own ships larger than a freighter, anything bigger requires faction ownership so a Star Destroyer is off the table.

Songsteel is a very rare metal that can only be used in weaponcrafting, its not used for armorsmithing

Actually Crystalline Butterflies are a mixture of objects, force pull and push/move object and a burst of force lightning.

Done with the credits. Fixed the fighting style. I already trained the force powers in my Songsteel Thread, I asked Padme to read them and she said it was good writing but suggested I get a master for further development[in my mind I took that as a stop so I got Weiss, he's been collected]. I fixed the freighter...and I didn't know that Songsteel was restricted to weapons so I changed that. The story behind the Songsteel Cave is that a meteor comprising of the metal smashed a hole in an area on Yavin IV, the Gerze family owns the mineral rights and it is a private thread...so yeah. Either way, no more Songsteel Armor, I changed that to Mandalorian Iron that starts to degrade after one hit from a saber and the next hit will most likely go through.

 

[Whisper's Syndrome]

PS: It's around time for pay day from the Café...so, erm >.< I am unsure if I should wait the full week to add that or just add it now.

 

[Vencu]

Mandalorian iron is also restricted. Lightsaber resistant materials, in general, are very difficult to obtain. Some are nearly impossible to find due to their rarity. Your best bet is to stick with a lighter, inexpensive armor that offers light to moderate protection against blasters, shrapnel, and environmental effects such as intense heat and cold. Instead of relying on your armor to block incoming attacks, use your character's lightsaber. Besides, the heavier your armor, the slower your character will be in a fight... and the slower fighter usually loses.

The crystalline butterflies will need to be removed. The energy drain and the concentration required to create and sustain them would be too much for an apprentice to bear.

If you plan to use House Gerze as a plot device (meaning it exists to further your character's story, but doesn't change anything), that's fine. If you plan to benefit from it monetarily, then it will need to be submitted as an independent faction and approved first. Until then, it will not supply your character with income.

 

[Rom]

Yeah Crystalline Butterflies is a no go.... and as Vencu said you cannot gain any monetary or property from a familial house until youve earned it. Many of our Hutt characters deal with the same issue, they establish a family crime lord kingpin background but dont have the threads supporting it.

This can be a really fun site to write for and a great community to join - there are just some rules we all have to follow.

I suggest you write in that you have a Family, and do what I did. Have that family collapse for some reason (mine was debts) and then fight tooth and claw (of if your a Hutt Tail and slime) to get it all back.

Nor'baal for example personally owns very very little of his family fortune, with the majority of it having bee lost or being owned by Nor'baals Brothers or other relatives. After about 8-9 threads, all of which great fun, Nor'baal has little personal property (a palace that he shares with 5 others, some contracts, and a Cantina I think), but has cemented family ties, and ties with dozens of characters, making him in my opinion, one of the best developed Hutt Characters on SWRP currently. Sure, he has a lot of money, but every penny of it has been earned, and RP'ed out.

And all of this was spurred by dozens of pages worth of ''Norb, you need to RP this!'' from other players.

I am more than willing to have Nor'baal, or any other of my characters help you RP out your characters progression.

I'm not using it to benefit via money, I have a business for that >.< I just said that...and considering that skill and concentration aren't an issue for Regina, well less so than most apprentices as she is solely focusing on skill, prowess and control rather than actual power, the only issue would be power loss. Meh...I'll remove it, for now.

I'm one of the noble houses of Empress Teta or whatever the hell her name is...I doubt it would require a tooth and claw fight to get back money we already have, I mean I can't use said money but still...

Oh? What makes you think she is better at it than most other apprentices? Have you even met any other Sith Acolytes to support that claim?
