Family: Marento (36, father, Dathomir), Amyante (19, cousin, father's side, Alderaan)

History:

Jin-ho was born on Alderaan, as the only daughter of a Dathomir merchant and an Alderaan native. Her mother had died in a Landspeeder accident when she was two years old, and because of that she can't really remember what she was like. Only a few months after the accident, her father decided to return to his home planet Dathomir, and (naturally) brought Jin-ho along with him.

Once there, the rest of her childhood was fairly uneventful, her grades at school being above average, yet not excelling in anything. Her father, though needing to spend most of his time at work, nevertheless did his best to spend as much time with her as he could, and as a result the two had -- and still have -- a strong bond with each other.

However, as Jin-ho became older, she had eventually reached the age where she could apply to a university. Alderaan housed the nearest University from Dathomir, and since the two of them had lived there previously it was the best option in both regards. A few holo-transmissions later, her father had made the arrangements for Jin-ho to live over at her cousin's house, to at least have someone in the area to look out for her.

A local shuttle took Jin-ho to the nearby Space Port, and from there on to a hyperspace transport heading for the Corellian Sector, and the planet of Alderaan that lay within it. Amyante, her cousin, picked her up at the local Space Port, and helped her to get settled in as her classes would start only a few weeks after her arrival.

Her cousin, working as a security guard for one of the larger companies in the area, helped show her around, and introduce her into her own small circle of friends to help her settle in. She also drove Jin-ho to the University to get an impression of the classes they offered, and after looking over the available options the young girl decided to sign up for the School of Protection Services, partially out of admiration for her older cousin's fighting skills as well as following her own interests. Her father found it to be a good choice as well, though it needs to be said that he'd have supported her regardless of her choice of career.

RP Sample:

The doors of the first Transport ships opened with a soft hiss, and a group of people in ZAFT uniforms were making their way from the LZ to the central gathering area. Most of the first wave consisted of Green Coats, but a few smaller groups of Red Coats could be spotted in the crowd as they were herded to the Parade Deck with military efficiency.

Dimilas walked amongst them with a smile on his face. Like the others, he was wearing his gala uniform, including the decorative shoulder rope, the medal ribbons on the chest and the patch on the arm that announced the Division he was in. There was also a small marking on his collar to indicate his rank amongst the Red Coats themselves, although he suspected it to be merely ornamental, like most of the aditions to the gala uniform that had been issued to every soldier enlisted in ZAFT.

Normally he disliked formal occasions like these, muttering he could have used his time more usefully by working some more on his Suit. But this was different. His gaze passed over the ocean, trying to get a glimpse of the terrain they would be fighting near for the planned exercise. He mentally prepared himself for evasive manoevering, coounterattacking, switching tactics in the midst of battle. Prepared plans in case of equipment failure, ranging from his guns overheating to a full engine stall in midair.

Taking a deep breath, he turned his head to look at the Parade Deck, while tactics and countertactics blurred, swirling into a strategic vortex before his mind's eye.

He was prepared.

Okay, good profile, a few things however.

Firstly, your history is under 300 words, we expect 400 bare minimum. Sorry we have to be strict about this :)

Secondly, you made your character 15, that is fine with us, but we told you about the limits of this. You will not be able to study or find any work, and therefore will have no income. So I would rethink that, the minimum we expect is 16. Cause you also said Jin-ho was old enough to apply university, well not at 15.

Also, you say your character wears denim jeans? I'm afraid those do not appear in the Star Wars universe lol So I would try to think of something more Star Warsy ;)

You said your father was from Korriban, but it is a lifeless planet. Only those who are training in the Sith Academy are allowed there. And we told you that you can't have any links without training. Also your character and her father can not therefore have lived on Korriban, it's forbidden as I said apart from those training. If you want to give your father a history in the Sith then do this later when you are approved to become a Dark Jedi. Then it would be allowed to create a storyline about your father who was also maybe a Dark Jedi.

You also said your father was in the Empire, sorry we can't allow this, as this character would give you advantages if you would persue that career path. As I said to you in my pm, every member here gave their family simple beginings.

Also, you said that your father made a phone call, sorry but there are no such things as phone in this galaxy lol So try to change it into a holo-transmission or something. But also just to be sure, remember you cannot control your character's father as well as your character. That would be into multi-characters and we don't allow that yet.

Your RPG sample is fine, it gives an indication that your writing will be good. I hope we can expect the same quality in our RPG. So once you have made the corrections listed, it should be fine.

Also, we will let you use the RPG sample from another forum, but you are the first and last member who will be allowed to do this. Some already complained and they are right, it is unfair to them. So it's been added to the FAQ thread.

Jin-ho - March 31, 2007 07:03 PM (GMT)
Done with the edits... Can't believe it said 'phone' though >_<

Changes:

- Paragraph added to History. That should lift me over 400 now.
- Age changed from 15 to 16, added an 'apparent age' tab. Height and weight altered as well, including father's age.
- True, was going for that non-baggy pant thing, the name keeps eluding me. Turned the referrence into a vague description though :P.
- 'Korriban' changed to 'Dathomir'. I checked the map, it's close enough to not have to alter half the History section ^^;
- Father's job changed to Merchant, gave her cousin a job in Security.
- Phone call changed to holo-transmission.
- Gave myself 400 Credits (500 for being accepted, -100 for applying to a University).
- Occupation changed to 'Student' ;)

Edit:

- Ah i see, sorry about that. When it comes to RP Sample, i tend to get lazy and copy a random post of mine off of another forum.

Won't happen again in the case of second characters though :ph43r:

Padmé - March 31, 2007 07:07 PM (GMT)
Wait with the credits, we provide the credits when you have been approved, also you have to go to the unversity and apply before you pay. One step at a time ;) Also, hope you saw what I said before you posted, I only posted it a few moments ago, just thought you should read that. Tell us what you think. But again with age, I would just make it 16, you can't be "apparently 14", just isn't fair to others and we've already been caught up about your profile already.

Jin-ho - March 31, 2007 07:13 PM (GMT)
Yup, just managed to catch that *points at edit in last post* ^^;

- Occupation changed back to 'None'
- Inventory changed back to 'None'
- 'Apparent age' tab removed.
- Final paragraph in History edited to have her decide to join the School of Protection Services.

I think i got everything done now... Right? :unsure:

Anakin - March 31, 2007 07:42 PM (GMT)
Okay we both approve. You've been given the title of Rogue until you have a specific profession and also 500 credits has been added to your signature.

Have fun!
