ARC2197

ARC2197 (AKA ARC) is a male user with the rank Inventor with over 3,250 posts and 1 stud. He joined on January 28th, 2012 and has since become a more active poster on the Boards. ARC is an active member of the Star Wars Roleplay, and plays as Mandalorian Jay Slisko in both the Clone Wars and Original Saga Roleplays. He is unique in that he also roleplays as different characters in both Roleplays: Jadii Slisko, a Republic Commando, along with Jai-Ke Slisko (Jay's biological son with NPC character Bphal Gawin), the CEO and Founder of Black Ops Technologies. However, he tries to keep his characters separate as best as he can. His avatar is a minifigure with blue sunglasses and a black baseball cap.

Despite ARC's utter devotion to the Republic, specifically the Mandalorians, he maintains healthy relationships with those who play as his opponents, and is good friends with Firox555, who is the leader of the Droid HQ in the Clone Wars Roleplay. He is also very good friends with his allies, such as spithaler, RepComCustoms, rtribe10, GyrTaluk, Nightwing5316, ariklego, and clegokids.

ARC is usually a hot-headed player, and often gets himself into combat situations that he always manages to get out of successfully. Failing that, he usually apologizes, especially when apologies are due. ARC rarely actually goes on diplomatic missions, unless, as ARC says, the negotiations include [his] kicking the other guys shebs".

It has been said that ARC is a very successful leader, despite his lack of diplomatic skills, he maintains alliances in the Original Saga Roleplay with several individual users, mainly ariklego and mrawesomedude, respectively.

A break-down of ARC's character relations:

Jay Slisko is ARC's first character, and is a Mandalorian warrior in the Mando HQ of both the Clone Wars and Original Saga Roleplays. Jay leads the Mando HQ in the Original Saga, and is the XO of the Clone Wars Mando HQ. Jay was a member of the Cuy'val Dar, and therefore adopted Jadii, RC-2197, as one of his Republic Commando sons. ARC made Jai-Ke, a new Jedi character, as Jay's biological son, with self-created NPC character, Jedi Knight Bphal Gawin.

Jay has proven time and time again that he is an adept warrior, having survived an onslaught of the entire Droid HQ for a full week during the Mandalorian attack upon it. Once reinforcements arrived, ARC still proovde further pivotal, in providing the solution to the chaotic battle: having the leaders of both HQs deul, and subsequently, ARC ended up deuling the Droid Special Operations Commander, ajtazt.

Jadii Slisko is a former Republic Commando from the Clone Wars Roleplay, and a Rebel Commando and X-Wing Squadron leader. ARC has had Jadii work with Jay in the Original Saga Mando HQ, due to ARC's declaration of "total war" against the Empire. ARC utilizes Jadii's all-Mandalorian Rebel Squadron well, having taken down Star Destroyers with only that Squadron. In the Clone Wars Roleplay, ARC plays Jadii as the Commanding Officer of the Clone HQ's "Ramikad Company" which is entirely made from the characters that form ARC's Alliance Commando HQ. He leads the Republic Commandos of the Clone HQ, and is the Clone HQ XO.

Jai-Ke Slisko a renegade Jedi, as ARC says, is created after being trained as a Mandalorian, then allowed to train as a Jedi, once the Jedi and Mando HQs alligned in the Clone Wars Roleplay. In following with movie canon, ARC says that Jai-Ke went underground, to avoid the Empire's Order 66. Since then, upon ARC's decision to turn the Original Saga Roleplay Mando HQ into a more combat-oriented HQ, ARC decided to create Black Ops Technologies, run by the lost character Jai-Ke.

ARC also has a second character in the Mando HQs, Admiral Thom Lo'ev, Assault Fleet CO, due to realism constraints, and the fact that the Clone Wars Roleplay Mando HQ lacks any Fleet leader at this time. Currently ARC manages to get away with this, and often utilizes the fact to act as his own force, under orders from the Mand'alor of the Clone Wars Roleplay's Mando HQ.

ARC is currently writing a two-part novel series, further explaining the stories of his characters, and adding vast detail to the plot of their lives, taking them that much further from the Roleplay games, turning them into characters worthy of a novel, with details from Jay's and Jai-Ke's pasts, how they fought in the Clone Wars, and the Galactic Civil War, along with Jadii, using events from canon and the Roleplays to create a plot for the novels. The first novel is still a work-in-progress, but both will hopefully be completed within his retirement from the Roleplays.
