In Nexus of Power, what is the justification for Gungans having three presence?

[Arctanaar 125]

I think that I wish to start as either a scientist, or a saboteur.

Depending on the group's background, I will probably want to play as a jury rigged and reprogrammed Clone Wars-era Confederacy droid that would be somewhat bloodthirsty despite having lost capacity for combat.

[Richardbuxton 7,319]

So a Bounty Hunter and Engineer Droid so far.

I'll have to dig around to see what I want. Maybe something tech-based. Or maybe beast rider if it can fit. I'll look around and see what sounds fun.

[Richardbuxton 7,319]

Pick whatever interests you, we can make it fit. I'm going to bed now good night.

[GMRen 196]

Do we have to play Gungans?

[Richardbuxton 7,319]

That was the intention, I had said I would accept a Droid. If you have a fantastic story for why another species is involved then I'll consider it. But we are in a sense making up for GM George and his pathetic Gungan, and just having a laugh as we do it.

[GMRen 196]

Gotcha. I'll work out my character tonight/tomorrow.(I'm UTC-5)‎

[Richardbuxton 7,319]

Hey I haven't until now considered that a Droid won't move quickly in water like an aquatic species, but they can't drown.

[Arctanaar 125]

Well, there are ways to move droids underwater, and, as far as I remember, the Confederacy did utilise droid troops that could move underwater just fine by themselves, if that is your concern. Even if we disregard that, a droid could be modified with modular chassis that would allow for an installation of an appropriate propulsion system, depending on the group's resources and the droid's background.

[Richardbuxton 7,319]

No no, the opposite, I can come up with more under water encounters without concern for you dying on us! I'll make sure there are times when your movement speed isn't an issue, and others where it's a challenge for everyone to overcome together. Ultimately a relatively simple powered sled is all you would need.

My idea for a Gungan character was an Makashi Duelist/Aggressor, just using Aggressor for Fearsome, Force Rating, and Dedication.  He would be similar in character to Zatoichi, the blind swordsman.  He would be self-effacing and usually armed only with a training stick.  His opponents would engage him, and suddenly have some terrible realization (represented by Fearsome).  Perhaps the stupid expression and clumsiness suddenly appear to be the death mask and jerky movements of the puppet of some unknowable entity.  Maybe his movements were mimed flaws of his opponents.  Perhaps his eyes glow the yellow of a Dark Side user.  Eventually he would get Misdirect to enhance the more mundane perception shifts.

 

I also liked the idea of Parrying lightsabers with a mere stick that thanks to Resist Disarm would stubbornly refuse to be sundered.

[GMRen 196]

How about:"Bombad army" for the name of the game?

[Richardbuxton 7,319]

A Bombad Resistance?

Or

Bombad Fighters

So your probably unaware of your Force ability? True FaD style.

Morality wise will you play off that anger? What will your good side be?

[GMRen 196]

A Bombad Resistance?

Or

Bombad Fighters

Let's take a vote.

[GMRen 196]

Who's all playing?

[Richardbuxton 7,319]

I like your suggestion, just don't think your quite an army yet! But a vote is fine

[GMRen 196]

I like your suggestion, just don't think your quite an army yet! But a vote is fine

I meant on your suggestions.

[GMRen 196]

Is this a Knight level game? I think you might of said it was up-thread but couldn't find the post.

[kaosoe 7,573]

Bombad Bombardiers!

[Richardbuxton 7,319]

I'm open to everyone's choice, if everyone wants Knight Level then knight level it is.

[Richardbuxton 7,319]

Bombad Bombardiers!

Best yet I think!

Wesa Bombad Bombardiers?

Every notorious group need a name for authorities to fear!

[GMRen 196]

I'm playing Teles Tarpals, Droid Tech. I think it would be funny if he was the one who modified  Arctanaar's droid character.

[GMRen 196]

We could do "Padawan" Level: +50 XP and 3000 Credits.

My for a character is...Bad with names, I'll come up with one later. So until I have a name I'll use the letter X as a placeholder. X would be from Coruscant. He would be the child of two senators, Gungan and Human, and would pick up some skill in negotiation from them. In terms of personality I imagined a wide-eyed young force user who sees the best in others. He would play up the positive traits of a situation whenever possible, a very "Glass half full" type of guy. He wouldn't be very adept at using a blaster, perhaps simply sticking to a basic blaster pistol when range is needed. (Why?!?! Because every party needs a Saber Monkey, that's why they invited me, Saber Monkeeeeeeey, Saber Monkeeeeeeeey) X would have small knowledge of the Jedi, told to him by his father who personally knew a few Jedi. Now, I'm guessing a few people have already guessed who his dad is, a Gungan senator, now who could that be? And all I can say is...It's exactly who you think it is. As for class, the Mystic due to it's use of Charm, technique involving presence, and the specilization skills being things like Charm, deception, and cool. He would use his beginning specialization for Advisor and would buy Makashi Duelist. Aside from buying Resist disarm to buy Makashi technique the remaining XP would be spent on main characteristics and skills in creation.
