@TNP said in Star Wars: Insurgency:
Plots focused on the Rebellion will be for Rebel PCs, not Rebel FCs and others. If someone apps an OC X-Wing pilot who survived the assault on the Death Star alongside Luke, then that is what he shall be and that is what game 'history' shall be.
There's the automatic rarefied air that comes along with a FC right here in your explanation of how there's really no difference between Nameless Shlub and Luke Skywalker Who We All Know.
People want to play FCs because they are the heroes and the centers of attention, and not the masses of nobodies milling in the background to make their glamour shots happen. This is how they get played, and how they get treated, because /it's what they are/. There's no equalizing the playing field for Luke Skywalker vs. your 'OC X-Wing pilot' because they will never be the same thing, not even by your own description of them.
The people desperate to play the hero of the show are typically also the last people you want actually playing them, but that's probably a tangent for another time.
Like others, I think you are opening a very well-labelled Pandora's Box for no good reasons, but maybe you'll make it work. Best of luck.
