Bastila Quest (KotOR/??)

[X]The Soldier Prophet
[X] Saberstaff
[x] Yellow

Let's go for canon Bastila. And really, if any character is Revan, it's commander Shepard. Dracula might be more interesting, but Shepard fits so hard it hurts.
 
I'm torn between [ ] The Webspinner and [ ] The Soldier Prophet (mainly because I'm not as familiar with the other 2 choices).

Would Revan have the powers / memories / skills of the past life?

Bug Control, superb situational awareness, unlimited multi-tasking, and grim determination but could be useful early game (especially Taris Undercity). Allows for unconventional solutions, but has trust issues. If the Taylor personality ever becomes the primary, she might initially feel more out of her depth due to setting, but she has a great adaptability due to her experience with parahumans.​

versus

N7 with lots of experience fighting against impossible odds, exerting diplomacy (using words or a gun), and possibly Biotics? Shepard would probably be more comfortable in this particular setting if the Shepard personality ever becomes the primary, and is well suited to recruiting and leading a team.​

Decisions, decisions....

I think I'll go with
[x] The Webspinner
simply for the munchkin mechanics.

[x]Dual Lightsabers
[x]Yellow

In other news, Yellow for Jedi Consular for diplomacy. Hopefully this change in background will prevent Bastila from inserting her foot into her mouth like the canon version (Sentinal).

Dual lightsabers are cool, and can support more crystals for + modifiers later on.

Shepard has a lot of skill at fighting against great odds, with a small team, and would probably give us bonuses for our charisma, saberstaff gives a better bonus than single or dual lightsabers, and blue is for Jedi Guardian, which is basically the warrior class. Green is Consular, which is basically mage, and yellow is Sentinel, which is... actually, I don't have an analogy for this one, but they focus more on skills like opening locks, hacking things, demolitions, stealth, etc. It's not that sentinels are bad at combat, it's just that it's not their main focus. Also, while those may sound useful, if things go according to canon, we'll be getting Mission Vao, who specializes in those things, while on Taris.

So, this is awkward. I went to sleep hoping that there'd be a slightly larger margin when I got up one way or another when I woke up. That's....not what happened:

Ok, Voting closed. Winners are Taylor Hebert and Jedi Consular with a single saber. Update should be up in a few hours.

Unwelcome Reception

[X]The Webspinner
[X]Single Blade
[X]Green

Your morning routine is not a complicated one; for all that the Lightsaber is the symbol of the Jedi, it's never been your primary focus. That isn't to say you're incompetent, but you have always taken more interest in the mysteries of the Force then in the study of Lightsaber forms.

Still, you work through the forms, your viridian blade tracing through the patterns of Shii-Cho you learned as a child before you shift, and begin working through Niman, the form you learned during your tutelage under Master Zez-Kai Ell.

Soon you're done, and after cleaning up in the 'fresher, you turn to work. Specifically, paperwork. While Commander Onasi was running the vast majority of the Endar Spire's the day to day operations independently, there were apparently a great deal of things he thought she needed to know about. In particular he had made several notes on morale, and how the crew would really like to know what, precisely, the mission was, and why they (and especially Bastila) weren't heading to the front- for all that the "death" of Revan had denied the Sith their greatest tactical mind and their control of the alien killik, the Republic was still outnumbered. The addendums suggesting that any information that could be spared would be helpful for maintaining crew morale was polite, worded with the utmost respect, and left absolutely no doubt that Onasi really wanted to know what the hell they were doing.

You let out a sigh at that. You wish you could tell the Commander more, but the Council was quite firm on the matter of security. Even Ulgo, the Republic Intelligence Officer assigned to keep watch on Revan didn't know exactly why he was doing so.

Still, his reports suggested that the implanted memories were holding for now. As far as Ulgo could tell, Lysa Hantid had yet to give even the slightest indication that she was anything more then a deep-space scout with a flair for languages.

A chirping on your Chrono shakes you out of your ruminations. Thirty minutes until you arrived at Taris. Time to go.

The Bridge is a hive of activity when you arrive, as the Endar Spire prepares to drop. Commander Onasi acknowledges you with a brief nod before turning his attention back to the navigator, discussing some obscure facet of the Endar Spire's navigation system.

Then everything goes wrong. The room shifts, and it's all you can do to keep upright; around you, you can see others who were less fortunate. The bridge descends into controlled chaos as ratings begin rattling off a long list of "Contact!" and "Incoming!" A wailing klaxon brings the entire ship to Battlestations, and lets the entire ship know what you and everyone else on the bridge had already figured out.

It's a trap.

The Sith are here. The Holotank is literally filled with contacts, and you can already see fighters vectoring towards you out the viewscreen. Moments later, they enter firing range, and both they and the Spire's defense batteries open up, trading fire. Fighters blink out on the holotank as they are picked off by the defensive batteries, but more fill the gap, and you can already feel the Spire shake as Sith Turbolasers begin to bound into her hull.

It occurs to you that there is a very real chance that you will die here today. You drive the thought from your mind- There is no emotion, there is peace.

Your voice is calm and steady when you ask the Commander that one, critical question. "Can we evade them?"

He stares at the display for a moment. "No. Even with your Battle Meditation, the geometry's all wrong. It'd take us twenty minutes to get clear of the interdictors if they stood still, and they won't do that."

"Escape pods?"

"Three minutes until we're withing range of the planet. As soon as we are, I'm going to give the order to abandon ship. You need to be on one of the first pods."

You raise an eyebrow at that. "I can use my Battle Meditation to help the crew and slow down the ship, Commander. I'm not going to just stand by and-"

"No. You're a priceless strategic asset Bastila. If Malak kills you- or worse, captures you- thousands could die. You need to get clear as quickly as possible. I have no idea how long the Endar Spire will hold together, and we can't risk you going down with the ship."

Respond:

[]Head straight to the escape pods. You need to live to fight another day, and that means getting to the escape pods now.
[]Head to the escape pods, but detour to make sure Revan makes it off the ship. It's riskier, but you can't risk her dieing. Or worse, falling into enemy hands.
[]Your Battle Meditation will allow the Endar Spire to make it farther, and evacuate more crew before it's inevitable destruction. Use it. You can get to the escape pods once everyone else is off.
[]Write-in

We must deny the enemy control of the Skitter.

And if we manage to party up with Revan right away, we can avoid some unpleasantness from canon. Canon derail FTW! :D
 
Bastila needs to focus while doing large scale Battle Meditation, so she won't be able to do it while she's running to the pods, but yes, you can do that. It's an acceptable write in.

[X] Head for the Escape Pods, but make a detour. Grab Revan, Trask Ulgo, and a few other troopers if you can. Stay in the Escape Pod area, and perform Battle Meditation until it becomes Vital that we escape. Priority for our escape pod should include Revan, Carth, Trask, and any remaining Troopers.

Mah plan. Grab necessary people, sit and do BM in Escape Pod bay, defend Escape Pods until Carth shows up to drag us off the ship. Hell, drag Carth off ship if necessary, the mans a bloody war hero, and we'll need all the help you can get.
 
Posting LordsFire's plan from SB

[ ] Head to an Escape Pod, and then enter Battle Meditation once there. Make full use of Jedi Speed to get to the pod ASAP so we can begin lending our aid with similar speed. If reasonably feasible, head to the Escape Pod nearest Revan's quarters/current position, thus increasing the odds we end up on the same one as her. If asked 'why this pod,' the answer is, of course, 'Because Force;' it is best not to let slip that Revan's imposed identity is someone important.

If we can detour that would be totally cool.

I'm of... mixed opinions though, if we do this won't we miss the opportunity to pick up some of the other members of the party like Cnaderous and Zaalbar???

Click to shrink...

Canderous doesn't join up until the party is trying to leave Taris, which we're going to need to do however we land.

Joining up with Revan before abandoning ship will butterfly away the reason you meet Mission in-game, but I really doubt that that specific meeting will happen anyway, unless we deliberately allow ourselves to be captured so that a bunch of NPCs can try to rescue us. If we land in the Lower City or have to go down there for any reason, meeting Mission is a possibility, and I think that's about as good as we're going to get. If Auks wants the canon KotOR party in the game (and I trust that he does, since they are the main appeal of the game), then there's lots of ways he can arrange for us to meet them; if for some reason he doesn't, it's already trivial for him to justify them not showing up. "Nope, sorry, because you launched thirty seconds earlier/later than Bastila's pod did in canon, you land a third of the way around the planet and never meet anyone who was in the game. Moving on..."
