Here's my take on Viceroy Gunray. Looking back at the other entries, I see we have some similarities. The biggest difference with mine is that I don't see Gunray as a heroic class character. I did give him Corporate Agent levels, but apart from that he's strictly nonheroic. This reflects his utter lack of weapons training, and the fact that he's eventually cut down by a single stroke. He is strictly a behind the scenes mover and shaker, totally ill suited to combat. But he is able to resist Jedi interrogation, at least for the short term (hence Willful Resolve) and his ruthless Competitive DriveTM keeps him on top of the Trade Federation even after he's a disgraced failure.

I vote for jedimike_98.

Also, for my own entry, I forgot to put in Command Cover and Executive Leadership from Crime Lord and Corporate Agent as special abilities.

Ok, EU character:  I'm think Thracken Sal-Solo (just finished the Corellian Trilogy again).

I'm both selfish and rational. I'm scheming, secretive and manipulative; I use knowledge as a tool for personal gain, and in turn obtaining more knowledge. At best, I am mysterious and stealthy; at worst, I am distrustful and opportunistic.

My vote goes to fairytalejedi. What a wonderful idea she had, putting him in nonheroic. That blew my mind when I saw it. Bravo, girl. Bravo.



EDIT: As for next character, maybe we could do Durge? He's not exactly in any of the movies. Or how bout another Seperatist leader? Although, wait, they're movie characters, right? Hm. How about the Republic commandos of Delta Squad? Boss, Scorch, Sev, Fixer. Or Omega Squad? Niner, Darman, Atin, Fi.

fairytalejedi gets my vote. I told myself I'd vote for the first person who submitted an entry that started non-heroic.

   Oh Mikey, you made an awesome Nute Gunray, and your reasoning behind the build was beautiful. FairyTaleJedi, you also alchemically fabricated a convincing living and breathing Nemodian slime ball that we would all know who it was with out a name on top…but I have to cast my lot in with Sienn_Sconn.


 Great job everyone!!!


As for recommendations for a future subject of the legendary YOU BUILD THE CHARACTER contests…. I got a fever… and the only prescription … is Shak Ti

But due to my terrible medical insurance, the off brand prescription to my fever could easily be heaping cup of Cathar… rub some Crado on it!!

Yeah these are all really cool builds...I'll have to go with sienn_sconn as well. I like the higher CL for this character and the stats are very fitting.

For an EU character build or next time... I really like the idea of Thrackan Sal-Solo. Mostly because I'm GMing a NJO campaign right now

I'll give my voye to fairytalejedi. Sal-Solo would be interesting, but I'm hoping to see Darth Bane in the next contest (I seem to have better luck stating Force users....).
Yes, I know I misspelled "Jensaarai".
