Player Characters

Back in 1987 a company called West End Games released the 1st Edition of the Star Wars Role-Playing Game.  Back then my brother and I were a huge Star Wars but had never heard of Role-Playing Games.  Whilst visiting my uncle in Cardiff I bought the 1st Edition Star Wars Sourcebook, still one of WEGs best books, and was interested in all these stats assigned to my movie heroes. I soon saved for the 1st Edition Rulebook, and I've been hooked on RPGs ever since.

What you have here are a few of those classic characters, good and bad, and adventures (or what little I remember of them) from those early days of role-playing that pre-date the Warriors of Gar.

Enjoy,

Ugavine.

Pinack

This mercenary could often be mistaken for nothing more than a foul mouthed drunk.  Sure, he always carried a bottle of Corellian Whiskey, but don't let his drinking fool you.  Pinack was one tough and highly skilled soldier.  Pinack was even a member of Lexon's Legion.  He would often be found in the company of Biggs  and Uggy.

Quote: "What the fuck we gonna' do now man?"

Equipment: Heavy Blaster, comlink, grenades, Rifle

Hutch

Hutch could have been a great Jedi night had his lifetime not been during the reign of Emperor Palpatine.  Hutch was a competent Rebel pilot, but his life was not destined to be a long one.  Hutch was tracked by the Jedi killer Lavekk.  The dueled many times.  Their final duel would be fateful for both combatants.  Lavekk shot down Hutch's freighter on the planet Hoth several months before the Alliance set up base there.  In a mountain ice cave Hutch and Lavekk had their final lightsabre duel, Hutch was finally beaten by the Vaders servant and cut down, passing into the force.  In a moment of rage... [see Fett]

Force Points: 9

Equipment: Lightsabre, Blaster, glow rod, comlink, space suit

Fett

Fett tried to model himself off Boba Fett, but he was a poor Bounty Hunter.  Fett's problem was that he was too nice.  He soon found himself in the Rebel Alliance teamed with the Gar Warrior known as Galai.  Fett was often in the company of Pinack, Uggy, Biggs and his close friend Hutch.  Many times Fett had helped his friends battle deadly adversaries, never did he expect to see his close friend Hutch killed before his eyes by the Jedi killer Lavekk.  As Hutch fell, cut down by Lavekks lightsabre in an ice cave in Hoth, Fett flew into a fit of rage.  Fett ignited his rocket-pack and flew at Lavekk, priming two Thermal Detonators!  Lavekk, gloating over his victory turned to see Fett too late.  Fett speared the Jedi killer right out of the cave.  Fett clung to Lavekk as the two flew out of the cave, off the side of the ice mountain.  Both Lavekk and Fett were caught in the blast of twin thermal detonators a mile above the planets surface.  Both bodies were found hours later by Biggs and Uggy.  Lavekk was dead, but to their amazement Fett was alive, though in need of a months bacta tank treatment.  As Biggs helped the unconscious Fett a ghostly image appeared before him... [see Biggs D.]

Biggs D.

One of the Rebel Alliances best pilots, Biggs D. could often be found in the company of Pinack, Uggy and Hutch.  Biggs always thought he'd be nothing more than a pilot, and hoped one day that the Alliance would defeat the evil Empire.  Then the day would come when his friend the minor Jedi Hutch would be killed.  When Biggs went to save Fett after he was caught in a thermal blast (see above) he was amazed to find Fett alive.  As he helped Fett suddenly a ghostly form appeared before him, it was Hutch, just killed by Lavekk.  Biggs was confused but Hutch explained all.  "I am one with the force now my friend," said Hutch, "but the Jedi must survive.  Through you Biggs.  You must learn the ways of the force.  You shall become a powerful Jedi."  Biggs D. did.  Guided by by the ghost of Hutch Biggs did become a powerful Jedi and confront the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.  Biggs survived that encounter, so did Vader. One day their paths may meet again... but the Dark Lord has another to focus his attention on for the time being.

Force Points: 13

Equipment: X-Wing Fighter, comlink, space suit, Rifle, Blaster, Lightsabre, Space Bike, rations, glow rod, R2 Unit, HUDS Helmet (Gunnery & evade rolls +1D)

Stormy

Stormy was a close friend of Rebel Commander Snowy.  Like Snowy his race is unknown but he has amazing strength.  Stormy is a comical character, always up for a laugh, but always ready to fight if he needs to.

Uggy

A Nosferartau and friend to Doctor Ugavine and Ugavine junior.  If any Nosferartau can be more annoying, more clumsy and more intelligent than Ugavine it's Uggy.  Uggy is a Rebel and runs a workshop on the Justice, Snowy's command ship.  He is a trusted ally, a Nosferartau contact and an accomplished field agent.  If you want a job done, don't give it to Uggy, unless the universe is at stake, then only give it to Uggy.

Equipment: tools, several droids, PDT-8, starship, wrist shield, blaster, hold-out blaster, charon armour, jeep, pocket computer, medpacs, ion blaster, lightsbare, Teleport.

Brun

No one in the Rebel Alliance can actually remember where Bun came from.  Well obviously the Ewok scout was from Endor, but how he came to be amongst the ranks of the Alliance was unclear.  Brun was a young Ewok, full of life with eagerness to explore.  Like most Ewoks he was a tough warrior, even if most humans found him comical.  Brun was both brave and loyal to his adopted Rebel Alliance family.

Galai

Galai was a tough mercenary from the planet Gar.  An ex-Den-Gar Mercenary and friend to Lexon Lexgar.  Galai was usually found hanging with Fett.

Squeekmeekveeklazippy (Squeek)

After their encounter with the Squibs (Scavenger Hunt by WEG) Biggs & co. found themselves a new ally in the form of the Squib Squeekmeekveeklavippy, Squeek for short.  An insatiably inquisitive squib who's actions would often get the group into trouble that they could have otherwise have avoided.  Had a penchant for  collecting power packs from Imperial Stormtrooper rifles, even if the Stormtrooper was trying to use the rifle!

The Warriors of Gar to be

Biker - He was an ex-Imperial Scout Trooper who had defected to the Rebel Alliance

Jan Vincent Torm - Torm has hardly changed since the original concept.  He can be found in the regular Warriors of Gar sections of the Rebel page.

Terri (Beauty) & Lexon (Den-Gar)

When first introduced Terri Lexgar went by the singular name of Beauty and was an assassin being transported to the prison world of Kessel.  The convict ship was captured by the Phoenix Pirates working for Jabba the Hutt.  At the time Lexon, going by the name Den-Gar was in Jabba's employ.  Soon Lexon left the Hutts service and joined the Rebel Alliance.  Beauty would change her name to Terri and join the tough Warrior she had fallen in love with.  Den-Gar's name would change to Lexon Lexgar and a new hero would be born.

Dr. Ugavine Jr.

My 2nd RPG character.  Very little has changed with Ugavine junior.  His skills are a little higher, and he's now on the Stargate team.  But he's still hanging with Terri & Lexon and fighting for what he believes in.

Bossk (Bossko B.)

Another early character.  He started as a Bounty Hunter, his Control force increased, as did his Piloting and Martial Arts.  He was always a silly character but somewhere silly became insane.  Originally a Rebel character Bossk became Bossko became Bossko B.  Now he's a Time Bandits and a total lunatic with a heart of gold.

Snowy

How did the character of Snowy develop.  I was only 9 when TESB came out and my grandparents bought me my first Star Wars figure, an Imperial Snowtrooper (if only they knew what that one figure would lead to).  My Star Wars figure collection grew and Snowy was always my favourite (well maybe Boba Fett, but who's counting). I always pretended that Snowy, my Snowtrooper, had Superman strength.  Hey, I was nine and had not seen the movies.  Forward to 1987 and the Star Wars RPG.  Eventually Snowy would have to come into play.  I wanted to keep my Super-Strong Snowy, so have done as a Rebel NPC.  

Snowy is a good guy.  When he and his friend Stormy first came to this galaxy far, far away they joined the Empire, though without revealing their true strength.  Soon they realised they were on the wrong side and helped Mon Mothma form the Rebel Alliance.  Snowy still wears his Snowtrooper uniform on occasions as a sign of the mistake he nearly made.

Bail Ohmar

Another early PC.  Bail was originally the cold calculating Bounty Hunter depicted on the template sheet in the WEG rulebook.  He wore Mandalorian Armour (because I was a Boba Fett fan) and never lost his cool.  Soon that cool would go, he'd lose control, then he would be redeemed.  Not to mention being reveled that he was a Chiss.  Only a few months ago was Bail Ohmar's face revealed for the first time.  Bail is certainly not the man he was.

N.P.C.'s

Zarath - A deadly Sith Lord under the tutorage of Darth Vader.  Zarath was a dangerous individual who was assigned in apprehending the Rebels that would go on to be known as the Warriors of Gar.  Like his master Zarath wore a black cape and mask.  Zarath had numerous encouters with the Rebels, especially Bail Ohmar, Lexon Lexgar, Torm and Gravin.  Gravin and Zarath dueled many times, neither coming away the victor.  It was Zarath that caused Torm his injuries including Torm losing his right arm (even though Torm went out and bought a bionic one).

Jan - A member of the ISB.  An evil agent who was an expert in Martial Arts.

Medusa - An omnipotent entity from a distant galaxy that took great please in playing games with the characters.  His only weakness was his susceptibility to the Force.

The Dark Warriors (Vakan, Orron, Dai'Oahl) - These failed Jedi started as nothing more than a swoop bike gang on the planet Caldon.  But Vakan wanted more, and soon his obsession for power let the Dark Side consume him.  Vakan became a subject to Draygon genetic experiments and was eventually possessed by an ancient Sith Spirit, Draykmihr.  As Draykmihr he served the Draygon Empire.  Orron was nothing more than a coward and a drunk.  He was redeemd to the Light Side by Savant but he chose exile rather than aid the Rebel Alliance.  Dai'Oahl was arguably the most dangerous member of the group.  And ex-mercenary with potent Force powers.  His powers brought him to the attention of the Empire where whom he was forced to work for.  He was killed in an encounter with Team 7 by Savant.
