What position are you applying for?:
Governor Arihnda Pryce

How well do you know this character's lore?:
I have studied Governor Pryce’s character extensively through Star Wars Rebels, the Thrawn novels by Timothy Zahn (especially Thrawn 2017), and official Star Wars reference materials. I understand her background from her rise in Lothal’s political sphere, her manipulation of allies and enemies alike, and her critical role in the Imperial occupation of Lothal. She is known for her ambition, political cunning, and absolute loyalty to the idea of order—though often more loyal to her own advancement.

What experiences do you have?:
I’ve held high-command and leadership roles in Star Wars RP servers before, including Sector Governors, Moffs, and ISB officials. I’m experienced in both passive and active roleplay, diplomatic situations, and military command scenes. I’ve led narrative events, managed IC bureaucracy, and know how to push plotlines forward while keeping the chain of command immersive and meaningful. I also have experience in staff positions, giving me a good understanding of balancing IC power with OOC expectations.

Why do you think you should be this character?:
I believe I can faithfully portray Governor Pryce’s calculating, authoritarian style while fostering immersive and high-stakes roleplay on the server. I understand that Pryce is not a kind or sentimental leader—she rules through intimidation, control, and strategic manipulation. I intend to emulate her no-nonsense tone, preference for swift action, and her tendency to treat even allies as tools to be managed. I can strike the right balance between a cold bureaucrat and a theatrical political figure, depending on the scene. I also know when to yield for the sake of story progression or server balance, even if the character herself wouldn’t back down easily. Playing Pryce requires not just an understanding of lore, but a subtlety in roleplay that I’m confident I bring to the table.

What roleplay do you plan on having with this character?:
As Governor Pryce, I plan to enforce strict regional policies with a heavy hand, asserting dominance over both civilians and Imperial personnel who underperform. I’ll engage in political drama with other sector leaders and military officers, seeking to expand my influence while appearing to serve the Emperor’s will. I also plan to run events where her political decisions have major ripple effects—especially when dealing with insurgents or “suspected sedition.” I want Pryce to be feared and respected, known for brutal efficiency and a zero-tolerance attitude toward failure or rebellion.

What could you offer to the Regional Government if you were given this character?:
I can bring high-level political roleplay to the Regional Government, including power plays, alliance-building, and crisis management situations. As Pryce, I’d maintain rigid control over planetary resources, Imperial military deployments, and civilian unrest—reinforcing the Empire’s image of stability through force. I would also provide structure and leadership for newer players in the government sphere, helping them get involved through assignments, missions, or political intrigue. Above all, I’d use Pryce to drive server-wide storylines that highlight the ruthlessness of the Empire and the personal ambition behind its leadership.

How could you improve the roleplay of the server?:
By making the Governor’s Office a central, active component of Imperial life, I can create roleplay opportunities for players across all departments. Through economic crackdowns, intelligence briefings, military inspections, and backroom deals, Pryce can become both an antagonist and ally to others in the Imperial hierarchy. I’ll also organize political events and internal investigations to create dynamic tension and story progression.

How active can you be in this position?:
I can be active 4–6 days a week, with consistent availability for scheduled events, meetings, and impromptu roleplay.

In-Character Questions

- A lower ranking officer publicly challenges your authority in front of civilians.

Response: ( Chat GPT Helped )
“Your outburst is noted, Lieutenant. You are hereby relieved of duty, pending investigation by the ISB. Security, remove this officer.”
(Governor Pryce would maintain an icy calm in public, never letting her authority be undermined in front of civilians. She would later ensure the officer's career—or life—is quietly dismantled behind closed doors, setting an example without displaying overt rage. Order must be preserved, and public confidence in her power must never falter.)

- A respected industrialist on Coruscant is quietly funding anti-Imperial propaganda, but their factories are essential to fleet production.

Response: ( Chat GPT Helped )
CLASSIFIED IMPERIAL REPORT – EYES ONLY
To: COMPNOR / Imperial Security Bureau
From: Governor Arihnda Pryce – Lothal Sector
Subject: Subversive Activity Linked to Strategic Asset

Following covert investigation, it has been confirmed that [REDACTED], a key industrialist operating out of Coruscant, is funding anti-Imperial propaganda through intermediary shell organizations. Given the strategic importance of their manufacturing capacity, I recommend the following measures:

1. Install an Imperial "efficiency advisory board" within the corporation to oversee production—staffed covertly with ISB agents.

2. Leak evidence of financial misconduct unrelated to the propaganda to publicly discredit the industrialist without inciting political backlash.

3. Begin grooming a loyal replacement executive under our control should elimination become necessary.

Production will not be interrupted. Order will be maintained.

- How does your character's tone and behavior change when interacting with different people?

Response:
With civilians, Governor Pryce is formal, curt, and unyielding. Her tone is clipped, posture upright, and her gaze rarely wavers. She speaks like a judge delivering a sentence—absolute and unsympathetic.
With Imperial military personnel, she is cold but professional. She expects instant obedience and rarely tolerates excuses. Failure is met with subtle threats or direct punishment.
When addressing other government officials, she adopts a more diplomatic tone—measured and precise—but always with an underlying tone of superiority. She uses carefully chosen words, subtle posture shifts, and strategic flattery to manipulate outcomes. Beneath her civility is always a desire to outmaneuver.

- Describe a time where your character knowingly enforces an unjust policy because it preserves order and stability to the Empire.

Response:
Governor Pryce authorized the mass arrest of dozens of innocent Lothal citizens suspected of “harboring rebel elements,” despite knowing the intelligence was flimsy. Entire families were displaced, and local leaders silenced. Internally, she justified this as a calculated sacrifice. Rebellion thrives in disorder—by punishing a few, she ensures obedience from the many.
“Justice is a luxury,” she tells herself, “Order is survival.”

- Your character comes across clear evidence that a high-ranking Imperial official is secretly working with rebels. You have jurisdiction over the sector and the authority to act immediately, what does your character do?

Response:
Governor Pryce would act without hesitation. The official is arrested discreetly, under the cover of night, with no announcement made to the public or the wider Empire. She personally oversees the ISB interrogation and ensures that all evidence is secured. Then, she leverages the situation to consolidate more authority under the guise of a "security oversight initiative," absorbing the traitor's responsibilities into her office. In the Empire, traitors die, but power always flows upward—to those willing to take it.
