Character Name: Muro Shatoro

Age: 26

Race: Human, more or less.

Physical Description: Muro stands 5'9" and weighs 140 pounds. He has chinese features, a weedy looking Goatee, and has a thing for fake leather jackets. Also, for some reason he has never really explained to anyone, he's blue. His skin is a pale blue, his hair is darker blue, and his eyes are, (you guessed it) amn intense shade of blue normally only found on those who have had cosmetic surgeury or wear coloured contacts. Despite his unusual pigment, Muro has a surprisingly easy time blending into crowds, as most people merely dismiss him as being a terran-similiar alien race, and ironically, most people will only realize he's as human as he looks when they see him up close.

Personality: Muro is, above everything else, an opportunist at heart. He's constantly playing the angles of every situation, and looking for a way to wring advantage for himself. He's almost always in the middle of some sort of scheme to make all of his troubles go away, but they rarely work out, and more often then not end in him fleeing a planet one step ahead of local law enforcement agencies.

History: Ever since he was a kid, Muro has been traveling from place to place with his two best friends: bad luck and bad choices. Fortunately, he's a big fan of new people, new beginnings, and running away from his problems. Currently, Muro is running a small smuggling operation out of the Mighty Mouse, a ship he won in a poker game. Unfortunately, the Mouse is tiny, and it's crew are somewhat sub-par, as far as criminals go.

Crew:
Mila Random: Mila is the previous owner of the Mouse, and Muro kept her around because none of the others he signed on knew thier way around a ship. She's a stocky blond human with a mean disposition and a gambling problem.

"Crane": Crane serves as the 'muscle' on the ship, but though he stands almost 7 feet tall, he is one of the least intimidating people around due to being so freakishly skinny he's almost transparent. His real name is Alton Smith, but everyone calls him by his nickname for obvious reasons. He lost his voicebox to a knife wound shortly after making the career change from clerk to thug, and rely's on an articial voicebox that renders his speech buzzing and robotic.

Emac: Emac is a Jawa that stowed away on the ship during a stop on tatooine, and managed to aviod being kicked off because his small size occasionally proves useful. Like all Jawa, his syntax is nearly unintelligable, and he is terrified of physical danger, but he takes a rather unique viewpoint of the scavenger lifestyle, and will often 'dig up' things that havn't been lost yet, often from the pockets or houses of thier current owners.

I believe that Muro would be a Chev, as they are abhumans i think. and a few things you could add on:

-His weapons, his abilities, his alliegance; does he support the Jedi or want to join the imperials etc etc

- his personality; a definate to describe your character

- his history; where was he born? who is he underneath his skin?

otherwise, its ok ;)

Bato

We appreciate your suggestions, Bato. And your enthusiasm. That said, you might want to reserve your comments on others biography submissions until, perhaps, you have a bit more experience with/at TRF before you do.

And, that said.

Muro: Your biography could use a little elaboration. The issue of species it not definiate, but it may help others and yourself in establishing exactly who your character is.

I look forward to reading the History section of your biography.

What you have is good, so far, but I'd like to suggest you expand on what you have. As Bato said, perhaps some inkling of your characters personality and his personal effects.

Looking ahead.

-Beff

Don't worry, all this is coming. Except for the thing with him being blue, which I'm going to leave a mystery for now. Possibly because I can't think of an explanation at the time.

And...we are allowed to make our own NPC's, right?

sorry Beff, but its a good opportunity. a padawan must learn you know ;)

according to titus, you can have as many characters as manageable, whih 4 seems appropriate

For PCs and NPCs you can have as many as you want. However, depending on how you use them/what they are for you may find it easier to use the same NPC multiple times and make it it's own personality and character. For example Jan Dondana is my main character, I have some secondary characters and then as NPC's I have a few that show up multiple times (or which I plan to use multiple times) such as Admiral Dawara and Captain Kit Galden.

You seem to have a good idea of it with your crew listing and explanations for each. As you use them more and more you might even decide to go back and examine their histories or make a storyline concentrating on just them, and create them into more of a character role than an NPC role, just all used under the same account.
