It's "stand opposed", actually.

Except that is my character. He is exactly the way you describe. Out for himself, hates saber jockeys, but not just a flat-out evil ****wit. And even with that, he's still Light IV.

********. Fully half to three quarters of DS options I've seen on my BH fall smack into Stupid Evil territory. Another quarter were For the Evulz, and the last bit were the ones I chose because they were what I'd do in that situation.

You must be US Army. I recognize that Creed.

My hunter is Light IV. And I have some pretty ****** gear for being an eternal hater of PvP and am having a jolly old time with Mako and crew. Skadge hates me, but he's only still around to get shafted when I need a quick escape from somewhere.

Well, it's probably funnier to people who naturally dislike saber jockeys.

It's supposed to sound like the saber jockey codes because it's a stealth jab at them. The thing about soldiers--and practically any other real servicemember will back me on this--is that the guys in the trenches have almost no patience for mysticism and hand-waving nonsense. So while we would of course very publicly toe the party line of "Oh, the Jedi are so awesome" we would mercilessly belittle and berate them--usually in a harmless, joking manner--amongst the company of our own. It's like yesterday, when I was running around in the planetary quests on Hoth. There was this sage who was in the same area, progressing at roughly the same pace, and recommended we group up to complete the series. Being bored and having nothing better to do, I agreed, and when we were done, the sage thanked me, and I quipped back, "Always a pleasure to help a Jedi." It was intended as sarcasm--and a callout to Jango Fett--but it was taken at face value by the sage.

If it's mild and she takes care of it you wouldn't know to look at her.

Or maybe she has a physiological condition that precludes her from wearing heavy armor. I'm no dermatologist, but as an individual who does have a very mild eczema, it's not like there's no precedent for it.

In terms of the gameplay system and the class/stat dichotomy, then what the others have been saying is true. However, lore-wise, yes, she does pretty much become a full-fledged bounty hunter herself over the course of the class story.

I almost throttled the OP for making a disparaging comparison to the US military, but fortunately common sense prevailed and I walked away. As stated by other members, there's no room for the Hollywood romanticizing of warfare in the real trenches. You do what you must to make sure that you survive, the guy next to you survives, and the ****** pointing a weapon at you gets to that meeting with his preferred deity on time. Some have mentioned the "Mission First" mindset, and others have countered with "Shouldn't it be Republic first?" Well, both are wrong. It is "Mission First" and the Mission is, unarguably, "The Republic Survives." No questions, no ifs, ands, or buts. However, I should like to point out that it is a near-universal military nonnegotiable mandate that soldiers should disobey unlawful orders from a commanding officer. tl;dr: If you're trying to be a goody-goody, super-lightside trooper, then you have failed to grasp what it truly means to be a soldier.

The bomb guy approves of this. And I'm not just saying that because I like to blow things up. Even though I do.

Yeah, it gets weirder.

Holy crap half of them had blue armor. You do not know how hard I've been trying to find a match set of blue armor. D=

My guy was born a Mando, but was disowned after he publicly spoke out against the Mand'alor's decision to put the clans in service of the Sith again. It didn't help matters any that his fiancée (non-Mando, but becoming one) was Force sensitive, and the Jedi and Sith showed up at basically the same time to try and recruit her, and in the ensuing furball, she was killed and he earned a pretty nasty lightsaber burn across the right side of his face in the process of murdering them all. This may or may not have had a direct result in him gutting the Sith 'ambassador' to the clans like a fish.
