Steampunk Star Wars characters

After a series of jokes and pestering the GM about visiting a steampunk world for a story arc, these happened.

When negotiations fail, fashionable but stalwart Noble Onna Reulki takes up her pair of ivory-handled brass blasters against enemies of the Republic.

As humble as she is heroic, Jedi Master Ree Shevan wields her lightsaber in the name of law and justice!

Lydia is the plucky young apprentice of Ree Shevan. Growing up as an orphaned waif on Chandrila, Lydia learned many unorthodox skills that she now brings to bear in the name of the Jedi.

A high-flying bounty hunter whose seemingly endless supply of weapons is rivaled only by his creative application of them, Zaan'yan "Z" Cloudstrider carries out his love affair with rocket packs and enormous guns in the name of the Republic. So long as he gets paid on time, at least.

The beautiful blue Twilek Oolan Tser is a deft hand with all things mechanical. But if you cross her, you'll learn the hard way that she always keeps an (explosive) ace up her sleeve.

Ezrek Dalt possesses a scientific mind without peer...and an ego to match. After being pulled back from the brink of madness by our intrepid heroes, he finds that the best medicine for his occasional instability is praise for his indisputable genius. Lots and lots of praise.

Wise in the primal ways of nature and the soul, the mystic primitive Kedrihm'Val is a stranger to civilization and its technological trappings. Making his way through the modern jungle with the help of his friends, he fights loyally at their side with bare fists and athletic skill.

The Cast

Crew of the Starwind

Reeden "Ree" Shevan--a human Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council, she was quickly adopted (against her will) as the de facto leader of the group, due to being a Jedi and not crazy. She and Kyp Durron are now a very cute (if lethal) item.

Zaan'yan "Z" Cloudstrider--a simple human mercenary, and the other character played by Drath's player.

Kedrihm'Val--a near-human Force Adept (non-Jedi Force-user) and martial artist from a planet called Abindosan.

Oolan "Oola" Tser--a Twilek Tech Specialist, specializing in computers and droids. Has a huge network of family connections, leaning toward the shady side.

Onna Reulki--a human noble. She tends to finance their exploits.

SARR--Onna's personal protocol droid. Used to be a medical droid until he fell into Grand Admiral Thrawn's hands. He's clean these days, but now has multiple personalities and is slightly homicidal.

Friends

Jal'en--a ship-jacker who keeps bumping into the crew.

Erin--a New Republic Investigator from a near-human species so skilled at reading body language, they can seem almost empathic.

Tia Raymon--a member of the Zeishon Sha, a Force tradition splintered from the Jedi.

Zan--a Jedi Master and spy; may in fact be the Jedi spymaster, though he enjoys being mysterious too much to be sure. Often elicits cries of "Goddamnit, Zan!" and sometimes accompanies the crew on missions.

Seo Roon--a Kel Dorr Jedi Master and Investigator who helps the characters from time to time.

Karina Sevv--a holovid star who plays Ree in the movies.

Raasik Sent--Dalt's brother; an idealistic member of the Senate who has no idea how strong he is in the Force. However, he hates Jedi, and has been causing increasing amounts of trouble because of it.

Malina Zeliar--Jedi scout who patrols the Outer Rim and sometimes finds herself at the crew's side on their travels.

Samos--a bounty hunter the crew met on Tatooine.

Lydia--Ree's apprentice, a girl of the Melodee race whom they rescued on Chandrilla. Soon to be a full-fledged Jedi herself.

Commander Teris--Port security official for the Tapani Sector. Related to the Sents, he has a powerful sense of justice, and maybe just a touch of the Force.

Nat Tser--Oola's oldest brother, Nat works in the New Republic Senate and often comes up with useful information or advice for her and her friends.

DUST--Oola's father, Lo Tser, heads DUST, a 'criminal' organization whose true goal is to free people (especially Twilek) who are exploited as slaves. The crew has found them ready allies more than once.

Sareth Fenn--One of DUST's top operatives and a man mysterious enough to give Zan a run for his money, Fenn is likely to turn up with a helping hand at the most unexpected times and places.

Salek Endek--Ree's godfather and her grandfather's partner from their time as Antarean Rangers. Embittered by his experiences, these days he's simply a hunter of Jedi artifacts.

Devith Shevan--Ree's uncle, Mora's husband and Jude's father. Devith seems like a kind and resilient old man...but sometimes he seems like he knows more than he lets on.

Jenn--a little boy from a Jedi family, he comes from about 2000 years ago. It's a long story involving ghosts.

Pence--an old man who used to be a Jedi apprentice a long time ago. Now, he's just a regular at the Smashed Holocron who has a good eye and a lot of information.

Jude Shevan--Ree's cousin, who despises her mother maybe a little less than she used to. Sometime-enemy and sometime-ally, not fallen to the Dark Side but still a little too self-centered for comfort. Which side will she come down on?

Mora Shevan, aka "Mother"--Ree's adoptive aunt who ran the Nightsisters on Dathomir, and Dalt's twin sister (egad!). It seems that Ree has brought her back from the Dark Side, along with Dalt. But will it take in the long run?

Ezrek Dalt--A Force-user specializing in the melding of machines and the Force. The possession that drove him mad has been cured, and he apparently wants to make up for his past crimes. But is he stable enough to be trusted?

Evan Srell--A young man who used to work as a bouncer on Chandrila. He means well, but that chip on his shoulder might be unhealthy for a Force sensitive.

Zeth Durron--Kyp's cloned brother, rescued from an Imperial base along with 2000 other Force sensitive clones created via a modified version of Dalt's technology

Enemies

Koyi Ziveri Sinya--a black Twilek and Nightsister (Dark Sider Dathomiri Force witch). Seemingly dead...

Severan Tellik--a dark Force-user genetically engineered by the Sith to be Emperor Palpatine's perfect apprentice. Diverted from his original destiny, now he presumably wants to claim the title Dark Lord of the Sith. Seemingly dead...

Drath Orion--a Zabrak Sith, Drath is...well, the player asked, "Can I play a dark Jedi?" And the GM said, "Um...you can start as a Jedi and become dark. You'd better make a second character." Violent and impulsive, but somewhat charming unless you hate traitors. Has taken the Sith name, Darth Tromos.

Set Harth--a legendary fallen Jedi who hunts Sith lore and artifacts across the galaxy. Keeper of frightening amounts of Sith knowledge, and now seemingly dead... Well, definitely dead, but can you be sure about a guy with that much knowledge and resources?

Asajj Ventress--a fallen Jedi who studied decades ago under the infamous Darth Tyrannus, she has resurfaced in alliance with Thule with a new apprentice, and more recently joined forces with Drath to uncertain ends.

Rade and Yara--crazy, rage-filled Zeltron siblings, Dark Siders whom Drath picked up somewhere and now seem to be working for him.

Koobis--the galaxy's worst bounty hunter, a Rodian who's more like a pothole than an obstacle for the crew.

Darth Maul--oh goodie. His soul is now held captive in a rock in the Jedi Temple, but let's be realistic, here.

Grand Admiral Thrawn--quite possibly worse than any of the Dark Siders.

Star Wars eats your soul!
