Hey everyone, I have been a rabid fan of Star Wars since i first watched the movies in the mid 80's and began Rping in the mid 90's. I have not done anything at all with Star Wars in about 3 years so i will have ot refresh my memory on history, characters and so forth. If anyone has some good lore/history sites for me to read up on the links would be greatly appreciated! Hope to hear from you all soon. :-) Manwe Singollo

Welcome to the Imperial Naval Academy (VENA), Manwe Singollo. My name is Jegora Fal, and I am one of your Operators. I, along with Shazam (the Training Officer), Tomas (our Executive Training Officer), C-3PX2 (our final Trainer), and Ibram Tyrol (our senior Operator) will be passing you through the chapters of Basic Training. If you have any questions at any time, click on the Message Center, compose a new message, and put my full name in the recipient spot. Now, you've actually already finished the first portion, known as Imperial Initiation (II)- you simply had to find your way here and make a thread to do that. The second half is known as Flight School (FS)- here you'll learn about the basic of flight, your equipment and what it takes to be an active member of one of our fighter groups. If you'll visit Flight School and take a look at Chapter 1 entitled "Character Creation," you’ll have a good start on the first step of Flight School. Once you've got a bio written up, simply post it here and one of our trainers will be along to post their comments and further instructions. In the meantime, if you're looking to get idea of our club and its members, I highly encourage you to explore the rest of the ComNet and jump onto our IRC server, via either our free chat applet (jIRC) or the downloadable version known as mIRC . Either way, I hope to see ya around.

Kerrick Lokar: Barabel: 22 Standard Years: Height 2.1 meters: Skin Color: Solid grey with red lines in a spiral pattern on his chest, back, thigh's and face. Eye Color: Deep emerald green: Kerrick was raised by his father on Barabel I after he watched the murder of his mother in the marketplace at the age of 9. There were none around that could have captured the killer and so Kerrick swore that he would have his revenge even if he had to scour the galaxy for the rodian pig that killed her. By the the age of 22 he has ony discovered the first name of the killer; its is Danz. Kerrick and his father moved to a smaller farm outside of the town and began raising produce for sale at the same marketplace where his mother was killed. Kerrick hated the market for the memories it brought him. He and his father also raised several breeds of animals for racing, plowing the farmland and transportation.Kerrick acquired basic mechanical skill at a fairly young age to repair machinery as it broke down. Any repair that required any technical expertise was taken into town where an offworlder would fix it. HIs mechanical skill essentially boils down to changing basic fluids(much like us changing oil or adding brake or tranny fluid, very basic). As he grew older he began to see Imperial Navy recruiters on his home world and thought it would be the best chance to get his revenge. He was initially turned away due to his youth but vowed to return and join the Royal Navy. Between the ages of 12 and 17 he prepared daily to condition his body for the rigors of space flight. From 15 to 17 he spent much time alone meditating and trying to contact the spirit of his now long lost mother but to no avail. Disgusted with his inability he joined the Imperial Navy at the age of 21 and is finally prepared to begin his training.
If i am a while between posts i am likely working and will post at first opportunity. When i wrote basic mechanical skill i mean like the ability to "change a tire" in the SW sense, nothing at all fancy, just to clarify that for you Jegora. :- ) I can see how the schooling thing was/is out of chatacter for the race so thats totally wiped. If there is anything else then please point it out. Manwe Singollo

A good start, Manwe. A couple things:
1) Unfortunately people often judge your writing on its looks, rather than its content. One of the easiest steps to take to make your posts look neater is to write the document in Microsoft Word or another application like MSW, and then Copy and Paste the document into the message box. This also allows you to use spell check, and I don't know about you but Spell Check is one of my favorite tools.
2) You chose your species as Barabel. As such, I suggest some research on the Barabel species. One such source can be found here. Barabels are somewhat uncivilized, rarely having contact with higher technology on their home planets. Even fewer Barabels still leave their planets. So while it is conceivable that your character might be outside the norm in learning technical skills and such, he or she most likely isn't. If he is different, then modify your bio as such: state the differences and how he fostered them to grow into talents that most Barabels lack. In the same way if your character is a normal Barabel, 'backwards and uncivilized', then you need to modify your bio accoringly.
Whichever you decide feel free to edit the post as such. I like the basic story, but if you're going to play an alien species then it is good to have your character act like said species would.

Tanks Manwe. It's looking a lot better.
For now, you have a good start, and thats all we require in Basic. Keep in mind that you can expand your bio as you continue your VE Career; in fact, it's recommended.
You are passed on Chapter 1 and may continue to Chapter 2. You'll have an assignment there as well, so feel free to post that in this thread when you complete it.

Welcome to the Imperial Navy, Singollo; as Jeg mentioned, I'm the Officer of Training (TO) and I'll be the fella checkin over your work and final exam. I'd just like to note that you can also improve the form of your writing (neatness) but separating sections with headings. For instance:
Brief
Name:
Age:
Height:
Weight:
etc...
Personality
BLAH!
History
Double BLAH!
When this is finally put onto a wiki profile, your bio will fit this format. As long as you have a basic idea running, though, as Jeg said, you're doin just fine. Note that there's only three short chapters, so you're already a third of the way; furthermore, this next chapter should be of interest, or atleast it's always been for me. Post your assignment here and someone from the staff will make sure to check it out, for ya. Keep it up, Mr. Singollo
