Description
Commission byThe players wanted some costumes that the characters actually wore in the game. I argued the waistline of the hipsters down a bit. GMing is an endless battle against the players sometimes...
Here's free captain Ardanna Cynn modelling the aptly-named 'Daring Rogue' outfit.
She's also toting her SakTek D29 Repulsor gun, the only street-legal heavy weapon in the game so far. Clearly modelled on the 'Lightning Gun' from the Matrix, it only causes Stun damage (so it's still legal!) and is more compact and light than other heavy weapons. As someone who is primarily a Pilot, Cynn's Gunnery skills outweigh her small arms accuracy. The D29 Repulsor is aimed and programmed like an on-ship weapon, so is the go-to personal firearm for vehicle-focused characters like Cynn and Kimmy.
It's also much nicer to zap someone into unconsciousness than blow big holes in them with a blaster, and the Krayt Dragons are good-natured scoundrels, not murderous psychopaths like Reya...

That is pretty neat little note to go with some interesting art.
My group is doing force and destiny so they are all force users so it is a very different make up as opposed to this group, but no less equally diverse

It is. It's the 'Daring Rogue' outfit from Knights of the Old Republic'.

Very sexy. More women should dress that way.

Beautiful! This looks like it was inspired by Christie's cropped/open leather jacket from DoA 4.

Yeah, that outfit's always been a favourite of mine (it's in DOA5 as DLC too).
Twi'leks have always been the 'sexy' species, and while Cynn's low-key for her species, the look really suits her...

Not sure how they get their jackets to conveniently stick to their boobs like that but yes they both look amazing.

Sheer willpower? Magic? Duct tape?

Question: "Cynn's Gunnery skills outweigh her small arms accuracy", i didn't quite get the meaning of it. Does it mean her proficiency with firearms / guns is better than how accurate her weapon fires or what? Thank you for replying.

Sorry! I'll explain.
Cynn is a Pilot, so she lacks the Ranged-Light skill but has decent Gunnery skills. So she's used to firing vehicle-mounted weaponry, or the guns of a starship, rather than pistols.
In the FFG Star Wwars game, they use the same skill for ship weapons as for man-portable heavy weapons like a missile launcher. But Cynn's too small and slight to lug around something like that.
However, the Sakiyan Shock Rifle (basically like the Lightning Gun from the Matrix) uses Gunnery skill rather than Ranged-Heavy. It's light and portable, and it's fired from the hip, plotting the accuracy with a flip-up screen, similar to how a ship's gun is fired.
So she can use this weapon with her full Gunnery talents. If she used a weapon that was fired with the Ranged-Heavy/Light skill, she'd be far less accurate. Essentially, it's a small but effective weapon that uses the Gunnery skill like a ship's weapon rather than fired like a rifle or a pistol.
It's a great weapon for people like Cynn and Kimber, who have vehicle combat skills rather than personal combat skills.
Hope that makes sense!

Nice, thank you for your time

And yet that weapon still looks like something dangerously cobbled-together.

It does, it's pretty much based on the Matrix cobbled-together weapon. Which is odd, because Sakiyan tech is usually very advanced...
