Topic: Aliit Drakus Forum

Welcome to the Clan Drakus forum.  This thread is meant for those in or wanting to join Clan Drakus.  Guests welcome!

Now that I have a few members out there who are interested in joining my Clan, I want to make it something fun and different.  So I hope to use this thread as our own place to chat; share ideas about Boba, the Mandalorians, Star Wars in general, and other topics of interest; and plan our moves for RPG’s and other creative and fun ventures.

I want this to be a tight knit group.  Stick up for your Aliit (Clan) members out there; the Clan is our weapon!  Together we shall CONQUER  (or at least have some fun trying :) ) But as V_M posted on his Clan thread (an idea he stole from me I think; oh well, just means it’s a good idea worth stealing :D ), this is all for FUN!  Not gangs here; we want ALL to have fun.  NO attacks or abuse of ANY kind is wanted here.

Also as V_M mentioned, the Clans are sort of meant for like-minded fans.  Not necessary, but I have some opinions about the Mando’s and Boba that not all will agree with. 

See my posts here: http://www.bobafett.com/boards/viewtopic.php?pid=53244#p53244

And here:  http://www.bobafett.com/boards/viewtopic.php?id=1518&p=1

(Also see Mandalorian Assassin’s posts; he and I seem to think alike on this.  Want to join, M A?  The Clan can always use a good assassin  :) )

These views and the basic idea behind my story here:  http://www.bobafett.com/boards/viewtopic.php?id=2015  are the foundation of Clan Drakus.  If you accept them or can agree to disagree, welcome aboard!  If you can’t abide them, might be better to try Clan Werda Verda. 

Ok, let’s get to it!

Oya Drakus!!!

didn't mean to steal your idea, vod.

I thought it was one worth implementing. As for "like minded" I meant more like similar minded, 'cuz if we all thought the same, we'd be bored to death all the time here...no point to that...

Awesome job...

This is cool.

LoL, wasn't burning you, V_M.  Just a friendly chayaikir   ;)

After all, the whole idea for creating Clans is yours!  Great idea, Mando

And a good point about the 'like minded' interpretation.  Didn't mean it as 'my way of the highway.'  All are welcome; it's just that the posts I linked to are the version of Mandalorians that I have, and as the Alor of this Clan I thought I should mention it for those who don't have that opinion.

Hey Clan,

Not much activity, so thought I'd post my character profiles here.  The Mando profile is the one I like the best, and will use the Force user only when I need a Jedi type for an RPG.  As I come up with more for other settings I'll share them here as well

Anyone else in the Clan have a prefered character you want to share or create here?

Name: Ralin Drakus

Age: 25

Species: Mandalorian

Occupation: Freelance mercenary; but also Bountyhunter for the right price/challenge; Follows a strict Honor code and will only accept missions that fit it

Loyalties: To his Clan and Clan Brothers/Sisters

Weapons: Custom sniper rifle; Light repeating carbine *usually kept aboard ship as a back-up;* Matching Mandalorian heavy blaster pistols(strapped to legs Jango Fett style, but a little higher);Jet-pack mounted rocket, usually a high explosive warhead; Gauntlet mounted weapons/gadgets include: Dart/Rocket launcher; A micro-grenade launcher; two wrist lasers, one in each gauntlet; A fiber-cord line with grappling hook for scaling/descending obstacles ; A two-prong retractable18 inch blades in right gauntlet (like those used in the Predator movies);And a personal cloaking device recovered from ancient weapons catch on Dxon; Strength enhanced

Armor: http://cid-086a971ab6dab929.spaces.live.com/photos/cns!86A971AB6DAB929!232/?startingImageIndex=0&commentsExpand=0&addCommentExpand=0&addCommentFocus=0&pauseSlideshow=0
Black Mandalorian armor over gray flight-suite; features half-cape (like a Snowtrooper’s, but black, made of heat-resistant materials to resist blaster shots and protect against the exhaust from the jet-pack, allowing it to be more powerful); High-thrust Jet-pack with light armor plating, making it heavier but much harder to damage or accidently start

Appearance:5' 10; Strong build, but still fast; Short military style cut brown hair; usually wears a very short growth of beard

Personality: Calm under pressure; Very blunt and to the point with outsiders, but easygoing and cheerful with Clanmates and friends; Extremely protective of those close to him

Ship: Blood Hawk Modified StarViper Assault fighter; Laser cannons replaced with six long barrel Mass driver rifles (which fire a energized projectiles that pass through shields unhindered); Ship is controlled by a R2 droid intelligence that was installed into the main computer, effectively making the entire ship a droid; Crew:1; Passengers: 2; Prisoners: 1 *modified passenger seat, similar to the one used in “The Chronicles of Riddick”*

And the Gray Jedi (or sometimes Sith) me:

Name: Ralin Drakus

Age:27

Species: Human

Gender: Male

Affiliation: Gray Jedi *trained by the Jedi, and was a promising Knight, but left the Order due to a 'disagreement' with a Master after the death of his secret love*

Primary Weapons: Two lightsabers, a blue one in the right hand and a red in the other, each saber’s handle would be long enough to use two hands on easily, the right hand blade would have a stainless steel look with black knobs and accents, a thin layer of black leather padding on the grip and a sapphire blue jem at the pommel; The left hand blade would be reversed *black handle with stainless knobs and a ruby red jem at the pommel; though it would also have the black leather padding in the grip*

Secondary Weapons: Two VibroDaggers, one in belt behind back, the other in right boot

Force abilities: Force choke, Force push, Heal, Force Wave, Force lightning, Strong telekinesis

Appearance: Tall, lean build, Wears dark double-breasted leather knee length robe under a black hooded cloak, tall black boots, and wears an Arkanian Blinder mask fitted to a helmet that covers his entire head *helmet is a support unit for a terrible injury to the back of the head from a lightsaber blow that nearly killed him; helmet just remain on, though he can remove the mask.  Right arm is also an artificial unit; very strong,* also wears a pair of strength enhancing gauntlets

Personality: Very cold and distant, doesn’t say much

StarShip: the Dark Spirit
A custom designed “flying wing”-like craft *think the ship that gets blown up by Zam, thinking Padme’s on it in Ep. II, just without that protruding tail section and a forward mounted cockpit, with low slung engines, and painted dark gray;* Has about the same amount of room as the Ebon Hawk; Droid intelligence installed into main commuter *yes, like the Blood Hawk above*; Weapons: Armed with six forward firing laser canons in the wings, plus a twin blaster turret mounted behind the cockpit, four forward firing torpedo launchers, two missile launchers
Defenses: Double shielding, average armor plating
Speed: .7 Hyperdrive, about the same real-space speed as the Millennium Falcon, but less maneuverable

ive joined now everyone

Good to have you, Peter!

Do we need to be a member to share the character?

Well, that was the idea originally.  Wanted Clan characters here so we could get an idea of eachothers likes and dislikes; and also give opinions for upgrades/mods that would make them better.

Was going to put this in a seperat thread like. . . .  somebody else did in creative, but decided to put it here. 

But we can make an exception for you, A_A  :P  With your supportive comments on my story and other places, guess that makes you an ally of the Clan

Hey Ralin,
noticed the topic was a bit dead, but if it comes back, i would really like to be a member here.  would it be alright? 
:D CA

More then glad to have you, CA!  *and thanks for bringing my thread back to life; was sort of embarrassing spamming my own thread trying to keep it alive :P *

If you want a Clan Title, I can help you come up with one if you like.

And now since I can post again *without spamming my own thread,* I'd like to announce to those who don't know that I'm just about ready to start my first RPG.

It's not Mando or even StarWars based *will have to do that next time,* but rather based on the game Oblivion.  I'll be posting it soon *probably tomorrow.* 

Anyone with questions, feel free to PM me or post them here.

If any members of the Clan would like to post ideas for RPGs, that's one of the things this thread is for.

And again, really glad to have you as a Vod, CA    :)   PM me anytime if you need something

Thanks Ralin,
very cool to be part of a clan :D  Question for anyone who cares to answer: is there a difference when someone calls a mandalore, or when they call the person a mandolorian?  Just wondering if there is a difference between the titles.  Thanks again Ralin for letting me in :D

Mandalore (the individual not the planet) is the leader of all the Mandalorian Clans whereas a Mandalorian is anyone following the culture and customs of the Mandalorian people. (Those led by Mandalore)

Thanks Si Titran
Always been one of those curiosities of mine :D

Thanks Ralin, i wanted to join before. The Allit Drakus thing is amazing! I love it! If i could join that'd be so sweet! Thx! :D ( green helmeted fett )

So, does anyone have another idea for an RPG?  was thinking about maybe one that involves the mandolorian wars, but i would need to do some more research on it, and i don't know if one already exists.  Any help in the matter would be appreciated :D

Still trying to keep this alive :P
CA

Wow, ACTIVITY on my thread!  :D

Sorry I havn't been keeping track of what all has been happening here, my RPG  *which is up* has been keeping me busy.  Thanks Si for doing my job for me here, I should be on questions like that posted here, but I spaced on even checking my own thread, sorry about that Vode.  I'll try to check this at least once a day from now on, even if it's not in the recent posts  *which is what I was doing*

I thought you already joined, Green.  If you're asking permission again, sure, you're in if you like.

About new RPGs, I'd love to have a Mando RPG sometime, but again, my brain is being streached working on my current project.  However, if one of you here would like to suggest something, I'd be more then happy to work with you on it, and you can post it under your name

Gotta run, gang.  Hope to see some ideas for those RPGs   :)   Also, if anybody wants to post a favorit character sheet here or an idea for a character that you'd like to have suggestions on making better  *HINTsomething for my Oblivion RPG HINT*, I'd love to see it

Later Clan, talk to you'all later

---Ralin Out

Sure I'd enjoy being your vod.  That is if you want me.

Very happy to have you, Si!  If you ever need anything, PM either me or terra. 

Hope you enjoy Clan life   :D   If you ever have suggestions for something we can do as a Clan, always feel free to post them here

How about getting a pint at the Keldabe cantina?

Hope they have drinks for under age people :P

sure, not everything is "hard". To each their own. But being Mando's i doubt that there is a age restriction.

Crap....knew I should have joined this one......Over at VM's were not doing anything :P

I would go just to hang out.....bit of an age thing over here.

hey guys!  sorry I havent been on in a while. :( Ive been traveling a lot.  but I promise I will be on a lot more! :)

BHK

Good to have you back, Kaiz!  If you ever need help with something in my RPG or anything else,  PM  me.  Always here for my Vod    :)

Ok clan,  got another question for those who care to answer :D  I'm currently reading the Bounty Hunter Wars books and I have gotten to a part in Slave Ship, where Kuat of Kuat is describing how he made specifications and built slave I for Boba.  I thought Boba is using the same Slave I that Jango had.  am I missing something, or is Boba Fett's Slave I an entirely different ship, built directly for him?

Thanks guys, hope someone can answer this :D

That was written before Ep II, before we knew so much about the Fetts.  The author made that up trying to write come up with Boba's history on his own.  Now after Ep II you have to take books like that and pick out the parts like that as non-canon, and in somecases the whole book.

Hope this helps   :D

Hey Ralin,  thanks so much.  It does help rather a lot, as the book was starting to get me very confused.  Thanks for the info :D

CA

Ok people, trying not to double post, but the topic is dying, so I'm here to bring it back (again :P )
Got a funny idea for an RPG, but don't know all the specifics.  Goes something like Fett, or other character of choice, crash lands on Earth.  Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds, but it could be pretty good with some work.  If anyone thinks it would be a cool idea, then I'll try and work on it some more  :D  any feed back would be appreciated, good or bad. 

CA :D

(yes I know i'm double posting) NOOOOOO.... looks like green took my idea :(

Doesn't mean......

I took your idea? i havent even posted on here! :P

LoL, I wonder if he did get the idea from you...............wondering if I should have given him the Rep point now for what I thought was a very original idea..............

My suggestion for RPG ideas was meant to spur discussion and improvment before they were posted, but if ideas are getting stolen then maybe it's not such a good idea. 

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt this time, Green.  But if another idea that starts here suddenly shows up in one of your RPGs without the permission of the original creator, I'm going to be VERY unhappy about it

And it is a good idea, CA.  Sorry again for not checking the posts here.  Maybe we could have worked on it before the idea got posted *still can if you like; Green's idea might die or could shift, as I was trying to talk him into making it more like War of the Worlds, with us *BFFC members* fighting aliens that land.* 

Here's an idea from me.  What about a real Medieval setting?  Could be one side against another *neighbering kings/barrons or whatever* with a wildcard faction thrown in *Vikings or the like*   With all the Oblivion and Fantasy RPGs, I thought it might be refreshing to get things 'real' again.  Any thoughts/suggestions?

WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!?????? :X geeeez! i haven't done anything!!!!

WHAT? why are you sighing?

I'm sorry green and everybody, didn't mean for every one to get into a big argument, I was just kinda depressed bout it.  Again, I was not trying to cause trouble, so everyone can calm down :) I'll just think of a new RPG

CA

Sorry, CA, but i didn't copy you, about the RPG idea.......k?

Thats fine, great minds think alike, or is it dumb ones? :P  It's all cool

CA

No need to say sorry or be depressed, CA.  You had an interesting idea.  I haven't seen Green's new version of his idea, so maybe we can still work yours if you want.  Just ask if you would like to work on it    :)

Hell, if you drop it, I might revive the version of this my brother and I used to play when we were little    :D

I didn't copy......I didn't copy.......I didn'y copy......:(

It would be very fun to work on, and just drop the subject green :)  Perhaps I could think of something with an even better twist, but I don't know where green's going with his.  Also, Ralin, you said earlier when I joined that you would help me with a title or something.  That would be pretty cool, but I don't know what to put, so if you can give me some suggestions that would be cool :) Thanks

CA

K, sorry, CA. I've made another RPG, like the same one...... " Wandering Fans " :D you can join if you like

No Prob, CA.  What would you like?  A literal rank in Mando'a?  Or something more creative like what V_M did?

I joined like two or three months ago.....
Do you like my title? ~ alit drakus ver'alor a sharad hett...... :D

Can I get something that has to do with the clan?  That would be pretty spiffy :)

Can I aswell? Please, spiffy also....

Translations people!  no idea what your's means so please translate, I know Ralin's means clan drakus leader (am I correct?)  and terra told me her's mean clan drakus's leader's darling/sweetheart :P 

CA

What is Mando'a for Green?

What's not spiffy about yours Green?  *it means 'Clan Drakus lieutenant Ashard Hett *spelling; I can't see it here in the quote box*

I'm thinking 'Aliit Drakus Alor'ad' for you CA  'Clan Drakus Captain'   :)

If you like, you can add a name at the end of it as well like green and Kaiz did.

If you'd rather have more of a job description like Mandalorian Assassin or something like that, give me an idea and I'll see if I can find it   :D

Hey, I like it :D  Sounds perfect just the way it is, I'm gonna go add it now, thanks Ralin :D

CA (now Clan Drakus Captain :P )
