This is the story of a different place, of which you may feel familiar with, but have no idea exactly what is going on. This is a galaxy where history has taken a turn for the worse, or perhaps a turn for the better. The names are different, the government is different, but the struggle is the same. As with all things of this kind, this is a struggle between good and evil, right and wrong, immoral and moral. However, where do you lie on this scale? How can you gauge which is which in such a blurred line? The code here is different, the lines here are flawed, and the people within accept all of this with a smile, as if it is all part of the plan.

Who's to say how they live is truly right or wrong? Who's to say that what has unfolded is not for the greater good? Who's to say that one moral code is better than another?

Descend into the massive planet known as Kula IV. The center of the universe as we know it, and the center of the galactic civilization we have become a part of. Here, the governments meet, sending officials and ambassadors to speak before the high council in the grand hall. The High Council is run by the force-guided Sith Lords who resign there. All treaties, trade, and other such communication and interaction must be checked with them first. Complaints and crimes are also overseen by these Sith and their apprentices and peers. They run this empire and everyone within it however they see fit.

The economy has thrived, war has stopped entirely, all military forces have been liquidated and sent home. Weapons are confiscated and destroyed unless needed for galactic trading positions in order to protect from pirates and hostile wildlife. Disagreements are minimal and crime is nearly non-existent. The underworld has been destroyed and those in question killed. The world is at peace as far as its inhabitants are concerned.

However, on the far reaches of the very planet that is the home of the Sith and their central government is a tiny enclave of defectors and resistors. These beings call themselves Jedi and work tirelessly to overthrow their oppressors, and the beings they see as the oppressors of the entire empire that lives and breaths around them. Their numbers are small and the threat of extinction is upon them constantly, as the Sith hunt them tirelessly in an effort to keep a certain peace within their galaxy.

You see, their morale code views crime as no longer present, war obsolete and not present, and black markets as non-existent and removed. We see it differently than they do. Slave trade is very much alive, and the black markets simply surfaced and advertise publicly for the sale of their wares. Murder is not a crime if executed properly and skillfully, theft and rape are just crimes of passion which may even be the inklings of force sensitivity.

However, the very people fighting against them have resorted to similar crimes. They traffic people through their own underground markets, kill innocent people in order to make political points and create their own influences within the government. In fact, they too find themselves delving into the very perverted ways of life they once fought to suppress in a world long forgotten. The books tell of when the Jedi ruled the world and lead the people, but that world is gone now. These staggered resistances work tirelessly to overcome their foes, even if it means becoming the very thing they once hated...

Races: (List of sentient races and species - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki)

The races of the galaxy are vast and fairly equal in most senses. I believe there is a basic trade language and so that enables them to all converse without much trouble.

Lightsabers:

Weapons of the Jedi and Sith, this is what distinguished them from normal people. However, normal people have, on occasion, used these weapons despite their history. More information here: Lightsaber - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki

The Force and Force powers:

The force is the primary asset that sets apart Sith and Jedi from those like ourselves. The ability to sense, channel, and wield this object of boundless quantity and immense power was what allows the use of force abilities and other innate things which seem present in Jedi and Sith and not other sentient beings. More indepth delving of powers that may or may not be available can be found here Force powers - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki

There are three sections of training within the force and it is likely these affect the ability to use it to certain extents. The three disciplines are Alter, Sense, and Control. Each one seems to extend towards certain powers in question by their design and would affect you. I will do more reading on this for when I evaluate characters and their actions in game.

Character Application Sheet

Name:
Race:
Specialization: (Force Use, Saber Combat, Mixed/None)
Saber: (Type and color subject to approval or revision)
-Saber Combat Style: (I-VI)
Force Powers: (For Force specialized characters or mixed ONLY. Please give 3 for mixed, 5 for Force. Essentially these are powers you excel at in their basic form or are capable of using earlier than normal.)
History: How you came to be part of the Jedi system that is working to overthrow the Sith. May be with-held for storyline.


I'm offering lots of open-ended avenues for character creation. Anything I haven't specifically stated as needed are free to be added and toyed with as you wish. Age isn't specific in this era...so you can be as old or young as you want. You can add in appearance and whatever else you wish, or simply describe your character in an opening post or something.

Here is who you are apprenticing under (ironically, not my character and only makes a small cameo)

Name: Shill
Race: Paigun
Specialization: Force Powers
Saber: Green, conventional single-blade
-Saber Style: VI
Force Powers: Force Push, Crucitorn, Psychometry
History: Shill was unusual among his kind with his force sensitivity, along with that, he was exiled early on for speaking out on certain parts of the system he disliked. Alone and lost, he found his way to the central planet and was appalled by what he found, however he was adopted by the Sith due to his sensitivities. However, he quickly found that his idea of changing the system by becoming a Sith was bleak. So he fled the academy and began the training of other force adepts to be Jedi, hoping to overthrow the corrupt officials he viewed above.
In order to escape his Sith teachers and fellow students, he strangled the woman who had been teaching him and used her saber to strike down his fellow students as he fled the academy. He disappeared into obscurity shortly thereafter.

Hmm. Interesting. I may have to have a character when I have more time. Quick question though: Among the near-humans, I didn't see what I was looking for. Want a character native to a high gravity world. Did I miss it, or will I have to work it out for myself?

The good plan works because they know you're going to stab them in the face, but they can't do anything about it. The sneaky plan works because while you were listening to me explain all this, I stole your sandwich."

Um, what would a character native to a high grav world do for ya? lol I don't know...you can work out a custom character. I really don't mind and prolly won't know the different. The number of species is near infinite as far as I'm concerned.

*difference

I'll be joining this, it looks epic.

Name: Daral Menso
Race: Human
Age: 17
Specialization: Saber Combat

Saber: Blue Adegan crystal (Mephite variant), coupled with Damind crystal for a longer and wider blade and focused with Rubat for a sharper blade definition for easier tracking and maneuverability.

-Saber Combat Style: Form V (Djem So variant: Defense against single and multiple opponents with a wide swing counter attack, focusing on power and sacrificing mobility. Mobility compensated with lightsaber design.)

Force Powers: -

Appearance: 5'7" 120lbs, medium build. His muscles are well toned to complement his devotion to combat and using Form V. He has an angular face with a jutting chin with sunken green eyes. His brown hair is kept long and tied in a low ponytail.

History: Daral has always been enveloped in a Jedi influenced environment since he was little. Raised by a Jedi family, the feat was harsh and it took many ingenuity to avoid being detected by the Sith. He was raised to be brought up in the Light Side and taught the ways of the Jedi, yet with the mindset to fight oppression and the Sith at the same time. These tendencies often border on the Dark Side but the distinction is blur at best.

Daral has always been fascinated by lightsaber combat rather than studying the intricate ways of the Force. As such, he was taught the more offensive variant of Form V due to his zeal and temperance. While he was constructing his lightsaber, he took note of the shortcomings of Form V and constructed one that has a wider range as well as increased handling to compensate the lack of mobility.

Just a couple of things to drop. Being 110lbs can't have you medium built. You're far too light at 5'9"! That'd be a skinny build...but whatever on technicalities.
The Force Powers are for Force Specialized people. Saber combatants focus on saber skills primarily, so keep that in mind and remember that, in general, combat itself requires certain reserves of force to maintain combat on a toe-to-toe basis with other Sith or Jedi, so dropping art of the small all the time in combat would be a crazy thing to do with V as your style considering most of your focus would be on trying to compensate and defend yourself or to strictly overpower your foe.
However, all approved. We are functioning as rogues and the idea of always being a kind of jack of all trades is a good mentality to take up.

Will edit o.o;;;; You're right though. But even a saber combatant knows Force powers, I'm just not given a quantity nor a limit. Set one up so it won't be confusing for other people to create one

I did! read the parenthesis after Force powers.
I figured that saber focus, since most of it is secret training, focus entirely on saber combat and would work with force focused jedi.
Saber jedi really only have access to the general powers that everyone has. Jump, speed, the simple ones.
The complex or more focused powers are reserved for the jedi who focus entirely on force powers.
Editted character sheet xD
