Dlor'itati'usko = "Ritati" - Chiss Jedi

Might as well add some about my Chiss Jedi - "Ritati" for the Force and Destiny game. The game is set 15 years after Order 66.

Dlor'itati'usko "Ritati" - Chiss Jedi Knight

Strength: Bravery

Weakness: Anger

Story: Dlor'itati'usko joined the jedi when she was very young with her elder brother. It was his idea to join the order and he had always had a way of getting her to see things his way. She idolized him, he was brilliant, cunning, and talented. He wasn't quick to compliment her on her own skills but when he did she believed him. Both of them flourished in the Academy and were eventually split up when they each were given Jedi Masters.

Ritati, as she was now being called was a Padawan for Mylla a Falleen Jedi Master. Ritati worked hard under Mylla, the mantra being the sooner she becomes a Jedi Knight, the sooner she can see her brother again as he promised. She learned the art of hiding in the shadows and hiding herself from Force users and non-Force users alike.

Ritani and Mylla were sent on a covert ops mission, a few specially trained clones with them as well.
With her skills displayed on this mission and her ability to bring everyone home, she was promoted to Jedi Knight. It was the happiest day that was only going to be topped by reuniting with her brother.

She was quickly assigned to Mace Windu's secret project. She called her brother and was talking to him, as he was on his own mission. He congratulated her on her achievement and was very excited to see her again. He suddenly grew serious and looked off to the side then the line went dead. It wasn't long after that Obi-Wan's warning was transmitted. The group she was assigned to quickly left Coruscant.

The group decided to take shifts with the ship and Ritati chose to settle on the planet she last knew her brother to be on. Maridun, she spent those years that she was not on the ship searching for him. It was about her second shift on the reliquary that she finally accepted that he had died when Order 66 went off.

What was she to do now? She was in hiding, her people were rising in ranks with the Empire. Would she turn her back on the Jedi Knights she worked alongside and go home? She wanted to, oh did she want to, she imagined reuniting with her family, mourning over the loss of her brother with them, how grateful her mother would be to learn that for 10 years Ritati searched for her brother, how happy her father would be to finally have her home. She had learned her lesson and she had come home. It was tempting, to say the least.

Would she be able to stay true and honor the Jedi on her third shift with the reliquary?

Ambition: Expertise - Ritati must be the best in her field, there is no excuses to let someone best you at your own game. Her level of the best had always been her brother, now she must train because she does not know the level of skill outside or where her brother would be or where she should be by this point. She spent too long waiting around, it's time to do something.

Faith: Friends and Family - There is only one thing more important to her than those she considers to be her friends and that is her family. She will do anything for a friend or family member who needs help.

Meet Horimono

So last night was game 2 of one of my friend's Marvel Heroic RPG. I spent the day before game putting the finishing touches on Horimono my super thief/super hero. (She's a bit of a klepto).

She is a shape-shifting mutant who found a horimono katana. She had to leave it behind, having almost been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. She remembered the design, it was the reason she wanted the blade. She had it tattooed onto her person and then weird stuff started to happen. It didn't take her long to realize that it was dark magic, from the beautifully named oni (demon). The only thing she knew about it was the name and that it was a hannya, her Japanese background told her that much. She buried herself in books of the occult trying to find answers to who this hannya was and how she could increase these powers. "The more powerful you are the more stuff you can take, y'know?" Here's what she looks like:

The snow white hair doesn't make it easy to blend in to the shadows, but she is all about flash. She does things with style and she likes shiny things. (One of her distinctions is Ooo Shiny). While she is better at working alone, she loves the team play. She gets an audience and potential tools to get her what she wants, purely selfish reasons. This is a character that I did a complete 180 from my World of Darkness Werewolf, Delilah, so it's a little jarring. I haven't quite figured out the game system either so I'm hoping once I get that down I can submerge myself into the character. Hopefully I can start coming up with more creative things instead of listening to the other players. I do have to admit, I was more comfortable with my Hunter character which required a lot of detective work, but that could also be because the World of Darkness system is easier than Marvel Heroic RPG, which is more story-based. You define your powers then you have to explain how you do it. I'm not much of a combat thinker, I've learned that from playing Delilah.

I don't know, I felt like I was holding the rest of the team back with my uncertainty. I haven't heard any complaints but that could just be people being nice. I think some more work on Horimono needs to be done before I can jump into this character's personality by next game. Maybe some short stories are in order, that is highly likely now that classes are over and I can start using my free time for game prep and fun stuff.
