The Cross Eyed Gunmen Ride again

Well somewhat. When we first started playing Star Wars Dave came up with a character history. One fateful day he called upon a person from his history. And on that the character Oth Saruna was born. It soon became the other Dave's signature character. We eventually ran an entire campaign dedicated to Oth's exploits. Oth's main traveling companion was Kelko Saruna. I should mention Oth is a scrawny Twi'lek, like the one that was Jabba's majordomo. Kelko is Oth's "brother". I shall give you a bit of Kelko's history.

Kelko Saruna was born on some distant planet; he was to young to notice anything other than his mother teat. At the tender age of 3 months he was dropped off on the planet of Ryloth, the Twi-lekian homeworld. He was taken in by the Saruna family, who also had a 3 month old child. Kelko and Oth grew up together, Kelko never noticed his unusual stature, and his race until one fateful day that a few neighborhood children taunted him of it. Oth, being the great friend and brother to Kelko, jumped one of the children and proceed to get his ass handed to him. After pulling Oth’s bloody and beaten body from the fray of children, Kelko turned and laid waste to the children, accidentally killing one in his rage. Fighting came naturally for Kelko because of his large size many children and later on enemies stayed away from him. His bloody rage would only kick in when his brother in arms, Oth, was threatened bodily and usually bleeding pretty damn profusely. Kelko always tried to keep his head in battle, but with Oth always jumping up behind him taunting people it was quite hard. At the age of 15 he asked his adoptive Twi-lek parents about his finding. From then on his real parents were constantly on his mind.
While Oth was away pursuing his dream of entering the Twi-lekian warrior caste. Kelko took a small job as a bouncer. Keeping the peace in the bar Kavsrach was relatively easy since many of the clientele were smaller than Kelko. Only a few times in the months he worked there did a large fight break out. During one fight Kelko became sliced across the chest and stomach. As he collapsed to the ground trying to hold in his gut, Kelko had a sense of foreboding that an occurrence such as this would happen again, perhaps this time quite fatal. He still carries these scars, only his brother Oth knows of them. One day after arriving home from work he found his brother being fiercely attacked by local children. Diving in to save Oth from this pummeling, Kelko pulled Oth to safety. While saving Oth, Kelko dealt an almost deadly blow to Olan Doneeta, who after that day swore revenge upon Kelko. When both Oth and Kelko were safe, Kelko turned to Oth said, "Lets get the hell out of here Oth."
Oth replied, "Where?"
Kelko pointed to the sky, "There."
After boarding the smuggler freighter, The Fortunate Spice, Kelko and Oth made way for the planet Nar Shadda, someplace in this god forsaken galaxy. While aboard the smuggler freighter, Oth, though not always quick with the wit did have a fair amount of intelligence, was taught by one of the “computer specialist”. During Oth’s training Kelko was trained by a Correllian named Jem Halan. Jem originally worked in the CorSec corporation before leaving under suspicious circumstances. Jem took Kelko under his wing and taught Kelko the tricks of the trade. The Fortunate Spice took a few pit stops during its 6 month travel to Nar Shadda, the captain a Sullustan by the name of Nep Tevv decide to take the long about way. During a stop over in Tynna while making a deal with the Black Sun, a deal which went bad, Kelko saved the captain and from then on Nep held Kelko as among the best regard. This caused some of the crew to become displeased with Kelko, many tormenting him. After saving the captain from the Black Sun, Kelko’s name quickly ran through the ranks of the Black Sun, a strong fearful enemy to find. The Fortunate Spice had little dealing with both the Rebellion and the Empire, because of the little amount of contact Kelko never found out much about either organization.
After reaching Nar Shadda, Oth and Kelko took their leave of The Fortunate Spice, entering a local bar Kelko and Oth sat down and order a few drinks. After 10 minutes of entering the bar, the few shipmates that despised Kelko entered and began to mouth off to Kelko. Oth never missing such a mouthing entered it taunting like hell. The taunting came to straight violence as one of the crew members drew a blaster and fire at Kelko. Diving for cover Kelko was surrounded by crewmen. Hiding behind a table Kelko heard Oth yell "Oh my God, Kelko, stop shooting Kelko……die, die all of you die….." A large blaster fight broke out, after the fighting had died down Kelko stood, looking in awe as Oth standing in the middle of a group of dead crewmen. A few days later, a Toydarian approached the two friends, apparently he had heard of an ass kicking Rodian and a freakin nut job Twi-lek named Oth. He needed them for a job, a crazy job, and they were just them guys he needed.

Ahh the fun memories of Oth and Kelko. One of the best stories we have is stealing Lando Calrissian's clothing. It all started when we were asked by Jabba to find a priceless heirloom. Well it was contest of sorts, bringing out the finest scoundrels in all of the system. It was a race between several groups. One group consisting of Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca, risked our ire. During the contest, which we eventually won, we kept running into them. Well after the contest was over we continued on to make money. On one planet we ran into Lando, he never saw us coming. He had pissed Oth off, so we decided to get some revenge. With Oth piloting our speeder, Kelko hung out the door and snagged Lando off of the street. We proceeded to stripe Lando naked and then pushed him into the middle of a busy intersection.
We had other great adventures like that. Yesterday I decided to pick up Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided. I've heard nothing but complaints about the bugs. While everything has bugs, which I haven't really run into. But it is alot of fun. Just like how I would imagine running Kelko. I've tried a few other MMORPGs, but I would have this is best one so far.
