Meet the Cast

The setting is the New Republic, some 15 years after the Rebellion's victory. We're totally ignoring the existence of the Yuuzhen Vong, and if you don't know what those are, more power to you. From here out, we write the history, not the novels.

The characters:
Ree--a human Jedi apprentice, she was quickly adopted (against her will) as the de facto leader of the group, mostly due to her being a Jedi (though she is quick to add, "I'm only an apprentice!").
Drath--a Zabrak Jedi apprentice (those're the guys like Darth Maul, with the crown of horns), Drath is...well, the player asked, "Can I play a dark Jedi?"  And the GM said, "Um...you can start as a Jedi and <i>become</i> dark.  You'd better make another character too."  Drath is violent and impulsive, but he's not entirely unlikable and he's nice to have on your side.
"Z"--a simple human mercenary, and the other character played by Drath's player.   It's not problematic, since the player is often not around anyway.  Often as not, whichever of these two is around is run by the GM.
Kedrihm'Val--a more-or-less human Force Adept (Force-using non-Jedi) from a planet called Abindosan.  My character, and his will be the POV, insofar as it's required.
Oola--a Twilek Tech Specialist, who specializes in computers and droids.  Has a huge network of family connections.
Onna--a human noble. She's the one who tends to finance their exploits.
Erin--a New Republic Investigator from...crud, I can't recall what planet, but she's a near-human species that's exceptionally good at reading body language. They can seem almost empathic.
SAR--Onna's personal droid. SAR used to be a medical droid, but got reprogrammed as a protocol droid. The process was flawed, however, and he's developed multiple personalities and a somewhat homicidal temperament toward those he doesn't like.
