Greetings! (+1 rebel with too much cause)

[sergeant_slick]

Hello to you all! I'm Spider, and I'm bringing in Sergeant Slick from Star Wars: The Clone Wars! He's been having a bit of a time lately.

Slick is a clone trooper, and an anomaly: he's come to the belief that he and all his double speed-aging, made-to-order brothers are brainwashed and enslaved by the Republic and the Jedi, and started making decisions accordingly.



This did not work out the way he wanted it to, obviously.

He's coming in with nothing apart from the armor (and concussion) seen in the gif above. The locals aren't too fond of that white plate, because it's a little too Unhalad-y. He's hiding most of it and stolen some local clothes to conceal the rest, but he only got away with so much of that before being intecepted by Lee Chang!

He's being brought to the farmhouse, and from there... we'll see! He's going to be very out of his element here. Technically he has the freedom he wanted, but the Evil Republic that motivated him isn't here.

On the network, he's been assigned the fishing-related username what a load of pollocks.

As for me, I'm available on Plurk at PaleAntiquarian, and on Discord at CellarSpider#9984. I'm in a PhD program and may be a little overwhelmed by work sometimes, but I will endeavor to always be available by either method!

Hello fellow newbie!

Nice to see another fan! I've played clones before, but this is my first time playing Slick. Felt like it was time to try someone with a different perspective on the whole affair.

I have absolutely no idea how it'll work between these two, so I'm excited to find out as well!

Regulus can understand rebelling against something you think is morally wrong. Maybe they can find that common ground?

[sergeant_slick]

They certainly could! Though if he finds out about house-elves, things might get dicey--Slick's been 100% focused on his own problems with being enslaved by the powerful magical people of his own canon, but now that the Jedi aren't here? We'll find out if he's got some moral consistency on that or not. The show immediately dumped him from the plot, so that unfortunately got left unexplored.

[royal_venant]

Regulus is very against the mistreatment of house-elves, like, he died to save his house-elf more pain. So Slick will find no defender of the magical community's treatment of house-elves in Regulus.

There are so many unexplored characters in SW.

[sergeant_slick]

Absolutely! and I agree, there's a lot left unexplored, and implications left hanging. From what I can tell it's the same with the wizarding world, and it's really neat to see people digging into that on their own terms.

Slick's still got his naïve ten-years-old-going-on-twenty rage, unfortunately. From the confusing snarl that is TCW canon, it seems like his first deployment was at Geonosis, which left him so disillusioned that he was actively passing intel to the Separatists only a couple months after that.

So, everything's very new and raw for him, and he's--well. He's had no time to form anything like a coherent philosophy beyond anger at the people in power, whoever that might happen to be.
