Assets are Ranked Traits that represent special advantages a character cultivated prior to entering this site’s story line. All characters receive five Asset Points at character creation; these points can either be spent on one of the Assets listed below or up to three of these points may be spent on Combat Proficiencies, Skills, Force Powers and Perks. Spend your Asset Points wisely for, through you may gain or even lose points in Assets as the result of Missions, you will never again be able to purchase Assets with points after character creation.
Fame: Whether for good or ill, your character’s name is in the Galaxy’s public consciousness. This Asset can open doors for a character but can sometimes also lead to unpleasant situations involving obsessed fans or angry mobs. The number of Ranks possessed in this Asset represents the extent of the character’s celebrity as shown below:
Status: This Asset represents your power and influence in an organization other than the New Sith Brotherhood. Which organization is chosen at character creation and cannot be changed later on. The number of Ranks you possess affects your Status as described below:
Resources: Credits, moola, cash, dinero, money, that’s what this Asset’s all about. The Resources Asset represents regular income a character receives from some source. Characters who lack this Asset don’t necessarily lack cash but they do lack regular, guaranteed income.
Alternate Identity: This Asset represents an alias used by the character and the extent of its authenticity; the more Ranks possessed in this Asset the more convincing the alias. You must select what government or organization by which your alias is supposedly recognized. This may not be an organization in which you possess the Status Asset unless your alias is the one with the Status instead of you. Furthermore, the maximum number of Ranks you may take in this Asset is equal to three minus the number of Ranks you possess in the Fame Asset. So a character with no Ranks in Fame may purchase up to three in Alternate Identity while a character with three in Fame may purchase none in Alternate Identity. As before, this restriction only applies if your true identity, and not your alias, possesses Ranks in Fame.
Unusual Ability: Whether it comes from a mutation, cybernetics or something stranger still, characters with this Asset have an ability that sets them apart from the other members of their species. The benefits of this ability vary in potency based on how many Ranks are possessed. You should work with a moderator to determine how many Ranks are required for the Unusual Ability you have in mind but below are listed some loose guidelines that might be helpful:
Unusual Item: Maybe it's a family heirloom, maybe you found it, maybe you ran across it in a distant market, or maybe you simply have it without knowing how or why. Whatever the case, you have in your possession an Item considered quite odd by galactic standards. The nature of this Item is variable - maybe it is a weapon (note that using it would require an appropriate Weapons Proficiency), or a piece of artwork, or a unique kind of computer. Whatever the case, the majority of the galaxy is likely unfamiliar with it. Note that this Asset is entirely separate from the 'Artifact' Asset. However, an Unusual Item may be used as an Artifact, so long as you are willing to spend the appropriate Asset points on each separate Asset. As with Unusual Ability, a player who is unsure of the rank their Item would be should work with a moderator to determine it. Some basic guidelines are:
Sidekick: Possession of this Asset means that a character has a devoted friend or follower who is willing to aid them in their adventures. The details of the Sidekick’s nature are up to you to elaborate but your Sidekicks abilities are determined by the number of Ranks you purchase in this Asset as described below. Further, Sidekicks grow in power along with your character: they receive an extra 2 Core Stat 3 ability points when a character enters their Advanced Path, and an additional 4 Core Stat and 6 ability points when they enter their Master Path.
Artifact: The Artifact Asset represents possession of an item of power that can channel the Force. Your Artifact can manifest a single Apprentice Force Power (chosen at its creation) a number of times per mission equal to your Ranks in the Asset. The Rank of this Force Power is equal to the Artifact's Ranks. An Artifact may be a weapon if you so choose, however, it cannot channel its Force Power into its attacks unless it is later altered by Sith Alchemy to do so.
Fame: Whether for good or ill, your character’s name is in the Galaxy’s public consciousness. This Asset can open doors for a character but can sometimes also lead to unpleasant situations involving obsessed fans or angry mobs. The number of Ranks possessed in this Asset represents the extent of the character’s celebrity as shown below:
