Hi, I've got a few ideas on what to do in terms of characters - I'll change the profile picture and whatnot when I settle on one - but I figured it would be best to drop by and leave an introductory post. I'm new to the site, but not new to forum roleplaying for what it's worth. I plan to do some research too, so I'm not totally lost.

Well, I was considering something like a Clone Captain displaced by a faulty hyperspace jump, onboard a Venator which didn't react well to the whole 'jumping a century into the future' malfunction, and thus he'd have a built-in opening post and quest - make sure the ship isn't going to explode, then head out and get help to repair his ship, and find out what the situation is. That way, since I'm not entirely familiar with this RP's lore, I and the character will have a similar amount of knowledge going into situations. Felt like a good way to get started.
The other idea would be a man which crosses salvager and pirate, and runs a chop-shop space station that simultaneously recycles everyone's junk or uses useful bits and antiques to defend itself. Get to have some NPC crewmates, get to poke around all the player-made designs (because admittedly, that is the first thing I saw and a catalogue of custom ships is always a draw for me), and get to play a character neutral enough to host all sorts of interactions.

Our site follows the lore of Legends, with our present timeline being in the Legacy Era. We do include stuff from Disney, namely technology (such as the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer and Starhawk-class Battleship) and some planets (like Crait). Overall, we are just in the Legacy Era, some say post Krayt, others say post Galactic Civil War, etc. If you need help understanding something in particular with our site's events and factions, just ask. We are pretty cooperative and helpful with that. Recently, there has been an attempt to try and put a timeline together, but we still are pretty flexible.
A clone captain is welcomed! A salvager/pirate also works too! We have had clones before in JvS with varying bios.

I read in the character creation that you can have more than one character active, so long as they don't meet, so I'll probably do that. And thanks for the info, should be interesting. Thanks for the quick replies, I'll get to work.

Well, there are certain rules. Two characters, you control, can meet each other, but they can't be used to work together against someone else for the sake of say... strengthening your hand for a battle or perhaps using one character to subvert another faction, that say they are a part of, in order to aid your other character's position to get what you want. Simply put they can't work together to help another character gain something such as say controlling a planet from another faction. But they can exchange words, chit-chat, take a walk together, have some tea and discuss the galactic stock value of cortosis lol.
Now this can be overlooked if say it's a planned storyline to give background/purpose to the character you ultimately want as your main. The alt could be a part of the main char's story for the sake of flavor. Maybe a rival they seek to kill, a criminal they are after, etc.
