Hmmg I see... don't worry, I'll do it. Thank you so much for controlling him so far, but he revealed most of what I wanted to know. Basically that he doesn't know what is happening and additionally offered Sairin access to his archives. When he meets with Isica I will handle him and if you want to use him or someone else for plot reasons they can take over.

My rule of thumb is that friendly and helpful NPCs are boring to use and unless you give them some oomph, aren't very useful for much more than menial labor positions that won't be used more than one or two posts, while self-interested NPCs who have their own goals and secrets are much easier to use, easier to use as the catalyst for conflicts, and more enjoyable to use more than once. For example, a corrupt governor/mayor/etc who's interested in keeping their involvement in some sort of illicit trade, or a lopsided trade agreement that favors the Empire/Republic, secretly allowing covert military/intelligence services for one side to have more access, etc.
By the way, the guys I mentioned in my post are the Iridonians
, not the Iridonians.
Yeah. Confusing as hell, blame Lucas.

True, however Mandolorians are a warrior creed of pitting themselves against everything the galaxy has to throw against them, dominate it and grow stronger from the fight. And this particular Mandolorian just recently did a speech of the greatness of his group by how they almost burned the galaxy to the floor and nearly made it fall on its knees.
Come now, when was the last time a Mandalorian sat down in the same cantina as a Force user without a bounty to collect? And by now, Uziel just assumes he has dozens of bounties on his head - including from the Jedi themselves.
I'll let Isica take a turn to react to being nearly bulldozed by him.

Flesh is a design flaw.And the plot thickens...
That reminds me: in the sign-up thread you said something about a collaborative fanfic. Are you planning to compile this into something more story-like than what we have in our hands now?
No, I would have gotten permission from people beforehand if I were going to rewrite this on my own. This is more like practice for me, and an attempt to fill the hole in my life where proper tabletop games should be. "Collaborative Fanfiction" was a term one of my friends used to describe this sort of forum RP.

Flesh is a design flaw.Ah.
-Nods-
Because compiling this (mainly shuffling posts around and cleaning the SPaG) would make for a nice fanfic, IMHO.
Spelling, punctuation and grammar. Basically, proofreading.
On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.

I don't enjoy roleplaying this Governor character. Maybe that's my fault, but does anyone else want to take over?
