STAR WARS - Chronicles Of The Force

The Jedi Enclave on Dantooine had sat for years, a symbol of peace & harmony and the second largest Jedi Academy - the first being the Temple on Coruscant.

Master Vander stood at one of the upper windows of the Council Chambers looking down at several younglings studying together in the courtyard.

These younglings were going to be the first to be assorted into the Jedi Clans - an idea borrowed from the Temple on Coruscant, where the younglings are sorted into groups based on their abilities and strengths - similar to how Jedi Knights are separated into Guardian, Sentinel and Consular via the same method.

The Jedi Master turned away from the window and began the walk down to the courtyard to greet his pupils when he stopped abruptly and placed his small, three fingered hand on his brow.

He sensed something special about this class of students, however he could not put his finger on it. Somewhere among the large group of younglings was a ripple in the force - a hint of a destiny to come.

Vander frowned in contemplation for a moment before continuing on his way. His foresight into events such as this were rarely wrong and as usual, Master Vandar was both incredibly interested and equally as cautious to see what the future would hold for these pupils...

NOTE: The prologue to the story is set several years after the above event so your character will have been at the temple for quite some time and will be around the age of 12 and ready to become a Padawan.

As explained in the interest check, after the Prologue we will skip several more years to when the characters have reached their time to sit the trials to become a Jedi Knight and that is where the main story arc will begin!

NAME: Starla
RACE: Mirialan
GENDER: Female
AGE:
Prologue: 11 (being one of the youngest in the group)
Main Story: 19
APPEARANCE:
HISTORY: Starla was orphaned at a very young age and never new her real parents or her real name. She was taken in by a small family on Ord Mantell who named her Starla. Shortly after they had found her she begun to display some strange powers and abilities and, due to a Jedi Knight stationed on Ord Mantell, was found to be force sensitive and sent to the enclave on Dantooine.
PERSONALITY: Starla has grown into a very extroverted and pleasant young girl. Always in tune with those around her, she tends to be the best in the academy at diffusing situations when others have not picked up on the issue. Being so outward however, Starla is also unafraid to speak her mind which often is looked down upon by some of the Masters in the enclave.
SPECIAL SKILLS: She is a great studier and has taken to learning force techniques incredibly fast - however, her skill with a lightsaber is not quite on par with the rest of the class. Starla is incredibly interested in philosophy, sociology and the living force and has spent many hours alone in the enclave library reading about these topics.

[Apocrypha]

NAME:
Bishop Vurrat.

RACE:
Human.

AGE:
Prologue: Twelve.
Thereafter: Twenty.

APPEARANCE:
"Comely," may be the most neutral of adjectives used to describe Bishop. His admirers - primarily ladies, mind you - might use "gorgeous." His enemies - primarily boys, mind again - might say "pretty boy." Whether comely, gorgeous, or pretty-boy suits your vernacular, one thing is certain: Mr. Vurrat is a very attractive young man. Both tall and well-built, Bishop's physique speaks of excessive physical labor; his sharp, dazzlingly blue eyes tell the tale of rigorous mental exercise. His hair, black and rather shiny, is drawn back tightly into a ponytail. Even garbed in the less-than-flattering garb of his monastic order, Bishop Vurrat cuts a figure.

HISTORY:
Like the overwhelming majority of his kin, Bishop found himself in the gentle hands of the Jedi Order before the babe was even yet old enough to recognize - or, even, lament the loss of - his progenitors (to name Bishop's genetic donors as his "parents" might convey a lack of understanding in the way of the Order - who is, and will always be, a Jedi's only true family). The infant firmly planted himself in the Infancy Care Hall of the temple on Coruscant, not unlike a hundred others around him - it would be during his formative and adolescent years that Bishop distinguished himself, and sprouted.

Before he had even made it to two years old, Bishop Vurrat was transferred - due to overcrowding at Coruscant and undercrowding in the enclave - to Dantooine, a smaller temple established amidst a farming community on a wholly dull and uninteresting planet. The boy excelled from a young age, mastering his studies of the Way and dominating even larger children in lightsaber spars. Bishop befriended many non-Jedi allies, establishing himself as a jack of all trades by learning how to slice a lock and pilot a cargo freighter before he was even nine - though, of course, it would take him many years to ever master such skills. His talents attracted the attention of the elder Jedi within the enclave - but, moreso, his fiery, idealistic attitude drew their ire.

Now, at twelve years of age, Bishop is somewhat persona non grata at the Enclave - that isn't to imply that he is no longer welcome, nor that any of the Jedi even dislike him. However, the elders - the Council included - grow weary of his antics and mishaps. His "friends," once numerous, now shy away from Bishop Vurrat, unwilling to bring down the same negative attention on themselves.

Bishop is, truly, quite alone.

PERSONALITY:
Bishop Vurrat is, by any who might describe him, a trouble maker. Of course, via the magic of self-description, Bishop considers himself an idealist! He is, at heart, a courageous young lad, and would only endeavor to aid others during his career as a Jedi. Friendly to a fault, and charismatic to boot, Bishop was - until he attracted the disapproval of the Council - a very popular young boy.

SPECIAL SKILLS:
Bishop is, first and foremost, a Sentinel. Though he is quite good at lightsaber combat and usage of the Force, he does not dominate either. He also possesses a vast array of non-Jedi skills; piloting, hacking, lock-picking, etc.

Very nice character - very entertaining bio! - Accepted.

If you didn't read the interest check (since you posted straight on the OOC) I wanted this to be quite a close tightly-knit roleplay that keeps moving along at a steady pace so I'll probably close this when we have four or five players in total and then we can keep things manageable.

We have a few people interested from the interest check so hopefully we'll get more characters up here soon.

Looking forward to working with you!

[Naril]

Mine will be up tonight!

[Apocrypha]

Thanks!

I did read the interest check; I decided to head over here and throw down a sheet instead of posting there. I'm excited to start - I've been an avid Star Wars roleplayer for a good eight or nine years now (since seeing the original trilogy - the BEST one, of course - and playing KOTOR). In fact, Star Wars was, I think, where I began my roleplaying experiences.

Good luck Naril - don't forget about your sheet in Warrior, I wanna get that started, too. ;D

[Naril]

This is intentionally vague in bits, because otherwise I'd just be repeating bits of my character sheet for posts. Hope that's all right!

Name: Seris Vakaan

Race: Miraluka

Age:
Prologue: 14 (The oldest of the group)
Main Story: 22

Appearance: Seris is of average height, with smooth olive skin and a playful, almost mischievous smirk on her tomboy's features. Her hair is dark, straight, and fairly short, not even covering to the base of her neck; a little longer in the front than the back. Her eyes are milky-white and blind, although her blindness doesn't seem to distract from her cheerful expression. She has a strong, lithe build, the lines of her physique accentuating the curves of her body rather than leaving her androgynous. Like many who have received Jedi training, Seris moves with an easy grace and poise, every movement confident.

She doesn't wear the traditional robes of the Order, instead usually garbed in boots, trousers, belt, a close-fitting, sleeveless shirt and a leather jacket. Both her ears are pierced, a handful of studs scattered between them. She has no tattoos, but a large, ragged scar across her back speaks to some kind of violent event in her fairly recent past.

History:

When the Jedi came for her, Seris had been old enough to know what was happening, if not entirely to understand the reasons why. She wept when the shuttle carried her away, when Alpheridies' fields and rivers fell away from the shuttle. The Temple felt strange to her…unusual senses, and Coruscant a thousandfold more so. Still, Seris could remember that her family told her it was going to be an honor to be among the Jedi, to study the Force with them, and she eventually learned to apply herself to the Jedi's teachings. Her schooling went reasonably well, save for a problem with her temper that developed as she grew older.

Along with a handful of other students, Seris was bundled off to Dantooine, partly to alleviate some of the crowding on Coruscant, but there were those that believed a more agrarian surrounding might help settle the turmoil inside her. Her tutelage there went well, especially in all manner of combat. Her instructors were pleased that combat became an outlet for Seris, but still struggled with addressing whatever it was inside of her that required that outlet in the first place. Despite this, she remained a largely model student, and the environment of Dantooine seemed to help with her training, especially in controlling her temper and her mind.

In the fullness of time, Seris passed her Initiate Trials and found tutelage under one of the Order's Masters. For several years, the tutoring went well…

…Until one day, it didn't.


Personality: Seris is cavalier, cocky even. She seems permanently cheerful and difficult to ruffle, always ready to deploy her sense of humor regardless of the seriousness of what's going on. She isn't sociopathic or incapable of recognizing serious situations, it's just that her defense mechanism is humor. Despite everything, she actually does take the Order quite seriously and chastises Master and Padawan alike when they stray outside the Code. It has not passed her by that there may be a certain amount of projection or compensation there. She does have a furious temper, but these days she keeps it under iron-bound control. If it ever breaks loose again, though…


Special Skills: Prior to her expulsion, Seris would have been well on the path as a Guardian. While she no longer has a lightsaber, she maintains her combat training with a vibroblade, occasionally pitting herself against older students or the very rare Knight that accepts her challenge. Thanks to her…heritage, Seris can 'see' the Force, the way it twists and moves and flows through the world around her, which has made her an invaluable asset to the Jedi Archives' field agents. She is an able pilot, a keen survivor, and no less than anything else, an amazing dancer.

[GreenGoat]

NAME:Kaifaer Lindoon
RACE:Human
AGE: 8 when inducted, 16 current
APPEARANCE: She is till very short, with a constant sleepy smile on her face. She has heterochromia, having one blue left eye and a green right eye. Her black hair is cut to medium length, reaching her shoulders
HISTORY: She was born in Coruscant, leading to an early detection when she first exhibited her powers. Taken at 8 years old, she adapted easily to the jedi lifestyle, though she has rather shy around the other students. Soon, she discovered she was one of the slowest students ever, barely managing what the other students seem to do effortlessly. Depressed, and fearing she would be in some way punished, she took to the library and studied more about the force, techniques, and prominent figures in Jedi history.
Her trainings improved vastly, managing to catch up with all the other students. Her tutor was surprised at her improvement, but took it as a sign she was working harder than before, and praised her hardworking attitude. Then she overtook some of the other students. Some of the masters were worried, but when they saw her training diligently in the training rooms, they were satisfied that she was not turning to the dark side and let her be.
PERSONALITY: Kai, as the others would call her, is a relatively shy person. She is perfectly willing to help anyone who asks. Despite her habit of seemingly drifting around half asleep, she is relatively focused on any task she is assigned. Many people feels comfortable beside her because of her laid back attitude.
SPECIAL SKILLS: While her skills in the force are impressive(for her age), it is her skills with the saberstaff that is impressive. Combined with her speed, she could turn into a hard opponent to fight. Due to her studying in the library however, she often thinks of unusual solutions to problems.

Anything I can improve on?

[Draconis Nevyn]

NAME: Charon Umber
RACE: Zabrak
AGE:
Prologue: 11
Main Story: 19
APPEARANCE:
HISTORY: Born on Iridonia, Charon was almost instantly recognised as a force sensitive at a young age and was taken to the enclave after he was given his tattoos. The only thing he remembers about his homeworld was a quick, sharp pain, which he recognises as the origin of his tattoos, and the beauty of his homeplanet.

His training went well and he was found to be proficient in mainly combat techniques such as; lightsaber combat and combat usage of the force. Indicating his path as a Jedi Guardian. He spent a lot of time perfecting his lightsaber combat and widening his skills in the force for use in combat. He also familiarised himself with the skills of piloting and found himself to excell at it, However, he also spent time socialising and developing a theory for his species as to block out the primal instincts.

At a young age, not yet into his teens, Charon was able to utilise two forms almost perfectly. This drew the attention of the council, though it was a cautious attention as his skills were seen as being a want to fight, and from that could come the bloodlust of his species even though Charon seemed to have supressed it with calm, logical thinking. Charon realised one day that while he often took longer to learn force powers he was able to analyse, mimic and add a melee technique to his own arsenal almost with ease.

PERSONALITY: Charon is a kind man, and would be considered attractive to females of his species, and possibly some of other species. However, When he feels a situation is going sour he will occasionally voice his opinion or resort to a near-violent gesture. He rarely becomes violent, in fact it is now such a rare occurence that Charon believes that all Zabrak could learn to be the same and discusses it with Zabrak Jedi he meets. He is often prone to brash actions, yet will rarely put anyone else in danger willingly.

SPECIAL SKILLS: Charon is an skilled duelist and is able to analyse his opponent while dueling them. His style is slightly unorthodox as he often changes from Ataru to Reverse grip Shien or Djem So. His abilities with the force center mainly around helping him in combat, though he has some abilities he can utilise outside of combat as well. While he isn't slow at learning force techniques, he prefers to learn those which would be useful, he is able to analyse and quickly learn most combat techniques though.

Hope it's alright ^^

NAME: Doban Urr-Danna
RACE: Male Auruasian (African American Albino)
AGE: Prologue: 12 / Inducted: 20

Doban was born during the "Time of Black Tears" when the warlike Aruasi people killed ad mutilated competing clans clans and Wookies that threatened their very existence. Despite, growing up surrounded in violence Doban was considered to have a very safe lif when compared to other tribes young boys. At the age of 6, Doban was considered very curious and knowledgable child with blue eyes always peering over tabletop as his father discussed tribal affairs and as his father's First Spear Guardian trained masterfully trained his men in the art of combat with a spear. There were few shaman in his village who possessed the ability to use "magic" to many different effects but was both feared and mystified. Doban was highlighted amongst his tribesmen when a group of Wookies attacked his village murdering his father and eldest brothers in their sleep. When the other tribesman found Doban..................(I will finish the history tommorrow tired out )

PERSONALITY: He is studious and stoic soul who behaves as if a man far beyond his years. At times he can seem rather distant at first meeting. Doban gives off an aura of control, and collected nature which makes him a natural leader who is as comfortable leading men in acts of diplomacy as well as in combat. He is an advent young philosopher who is seen often surrounded by groups of his peers and juniors to discuss the force. He has a sharp mind and dry humor that is manifested in hints of sarcasm with those that he knows. Doban despite being opened minded to the force, he believes strongly for the cause against evil and is unrelenting in his quest to destroy those who utilize the dark side. He sees life in terms of confrontations and rising to the challenge strongly valuing both courage and loyalty.

Doban only received initial training in Destras so as he got older fused parts of Destras with other forms of martial arts taught at the temple in solid lethal form.

World History Brainiac: Buried often in Archives of the Jedi Temple reading of the many forms of governments and law. Doban has a love of politics that he doesn't voice very often and risk sounding too "worldly", but knowledge of the worlds and how they work are a point of unbearable curiosity for him.

Civilized Savage: Down the path of Jedi Counselar he has learned the higher levels of proper etiquette, numerous languages, customs, and coutesies in many a social setting, however at times his eagerness to be blunt as the men of his tribe get him into trouble.

Edit: All accepted- great characters! Looking forward to seeing them develop - howver I'm going to close this from new applications for now as we already have more people than I had initially intended.

If everyone is happy with their characters then I am going to get working on the introductory post for the IC now & should have it up soon.
