History/Example Post:
Luther was born on Bruji, a planet from the outer rim that has historically been a place of conflict between the Sith and the republic Jedi forces, it was occupied and oppressed by Imperial forces. Since victory over the empire was achieved the planet has slowly begun integration to the new republic, new culture and technology spreading to the small farming settlements. Luther was amount the first of the planet's inhabitants to be accepted as a Jedi padawan, he was taken to the new academy as a young man after a knight discovered him while passing through the town and staying in the inn where he worked. With keen street smarts, good blaster aim and decent pilot skills already in his possession the academy welcomed him and began to teach him the techniques needed to become a Jedi. Luther was able to strike a balance between force use and using his lightsaber, offsetting the weaknesses of one with the strengths of the other, he also tied in blaster practise to allow himself greater flexibility in combat. In time he graduated from being a padawan and moved onto being a knight, with greater access to the data archives he was able to teach himself a great many things about the universe and those who inhabit it. Luther was tasked with assisting several other knights in the search for the lost tribe of the Sith, they followed countless leads all of which were either dead ends or traps, he proved himself capable in keeping calm and dealing with even the worst of situations in a tactical and organised manor. Eventually he was promoted to the rank of Jedi master despite his lack of advanced force techniques, the council recognised that his abilities as an inspiring leader and cunning strategist were more than enough to qualify him. Teaching and instructing came almost naturally to Luther and along with spending time with the older and more valuable holocrons in the archives he found his place in the order of things.

As there is a lot of history around this time I'll let you off with not knowing it all. Main issue I have right now, is that is a lot of Force abilities your guy knows. I'll add a cap of 7 for Jedi Masters. 5 for Knights and 3 for Padawans.

Should there be a set of powers that all of our characters know by default that don't count towards the cap?

Force Push/Force Pull Basic Force Sense.

Ok, 7 force abilities.

One last thingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg. I want to point out something I get from your char. He has 5 Lightsaber forms, 7 force using abilities and is still a dab hand with a blaster and a good pilot. You have to remember learning force abilities, lightsaber forms, how to use a blaster and how to fly a ship all take time. Anyway I'll let you balance it out a bit, as I go to sleep and wake up tomorrow.

History/Example Post: Hunter was born on Abo Dreth, 7 ABY to a wealthy mining family originally from Abregado-rae. His father, CEO of the company, built a facility to mine untapped resources from the planet. However, raiders and bandits roamed the planet and a year after Hunter was born, the facility was attacked. The family escaped with a pupil of Luke Skywalker and returned to their home planet, Hunter's father was so thankful for their rescue that he wanted his youngest son to become a Jedi, and begged the boy to take him to Luke Skywalker. The boy agreed and returned with a baby instead of a speeder. Young Hunter was cared for and was there when the Jedi Praxium opened on Yavin 4, he was 4 years old. He wasn't allowed in regular classes, but would be taught by the oldest student there. As kid he heard Luke Skywalker resolve political disputes and aid in fights against enemies of the new republic, but never saw any of them because he was 'stuck on Yavin 4'. Stories of Skywalker's exploits filled Hunter with a wanderlust that could be considered 'unhealthy' by some. 25 ABY, start of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Master Durron led a team of Jedi to Helska IV and ambushed by the Yuuzhan Vong, Durron was the only one to survive. This incident put an anger into Hunter that he had never felt before and the young Padawan wanted to fight. Instructors and older Jedi warned Hunter against this feeling and he was able to keep it under control, but he wanted to fight, to make the Yuuzhan Vong pay. Hunter kept hearing of the battles, of all the things that were going on. Yet he was still on Yavin 4, safe and secure, but he didn't want to be safe, he wanted to fight. Then finally he was allowed the chance to fight, to save lives, but it wasn't what he imagined. They were supposed to help evacuate Rychel, his job was to protect the civilians escaping, so he killed. He doesn't remember a lot of what happened but he does remember a lot of blood, a lot of bodies, and barely making it onto the ship. He remebered that Master Le'Ung was reported dead. The Republic and Order had lost this battle, but not the war. Hunter continued to fight and help wherever and whenever he could during that war. He fought in the final battle of Yuuzhan'tar, it was grueling and a lot of good people died, including a friend of his, but when the smoke cleared, they had won. Hunter was made into a Jedi knight in 30 ABY ,a year after the end of the Yuuzhan war, at 21 years old. 2 years later, he was assigned the task of securing the peace on a space station that was inhabited by Grans and Humans that were on the verge of fighting, however when his ship approached, it was shot and they crash landed on the planet below, Abo Dreth. Pilot dead and in hostile territory, had to learn how to survive, he developed a way to tame the vicious Avian wildlife and learned how to track and navigate. 7 months after the crash, he was found by a Galactic Alliance patrol, it was about a month into 33 ABY. He also learned that the station he was assigned to, exploded due to 'systems malfunction'. From that experience he learned many things, and it has shaped the man he has become.

Accepted Musketman - I presume you know a bit about the Yuuzhan Vong War?

GuySenpai: See what I mean by balancing out abilities/skills?

Got space for a newbie?

Indeed.

I do now after my extensive research for this character (I'm currently reading a book about the Corellian crisis)

As in Jacen Solo time? Missed out some good books but a good series.

Also just so you know Yavin 4 was attacked by the Vong, pupils managed to escape. Yuuzhan'tar was what the Vong renamed Coruscant when they captured it. Anything else feel free to ask, will throw my sheet up tomorrow. Just waiting for the people from the IntChk, always takes a while for people to transfer over.

Name: D'an Pathrow

Age: 53

Species: Bith

Force Abilities:
Fore Empathy
psychometry
Mind Trick
Cleanse Mind

Lightsaber Forms:
Trakata

Non-Force related Skills:
Exceptional Language expert, able to pick up on new languages very quickly
A very competent player of games of chance

Weapons:
Blue Lightsaber

History/Example Post:

Born on Clak'dor VII to a wealthy family, D'an was first assumed to be a musician like the Pathrow clan had been for generations. His family quickly realized however he had no taste for music, and instead had a flair for scholarship. Pleased with his new-found talent, D'an childhood was spoiled with the best tutors, educators and resources his parents could afford. Gaining some mild fan as a language prodigy, a passing Jedi (one of Luke's early students just after the Thrawn crisis) realized he had Force powers. Convincing his parents that their child had the potential to become a Jedi , they quickly assented, giving D'an over to the Order.
He proved to be a difficult student. Lack of ambition and little concerned with the mystical abilities of the Force, he lazed in his physical areas of development and struggled with even the most basic lightsaber combat. Passed from Master to master, most considered him on the track to failure with that time fast approaching.
The arrival of the Vong however, changed all that. The sheer pressure and trauma of the attack forced the young Bith to confront his issues head on. Throwing himself into his work, he soon became a close friend (and eventual colleague of Clighal) studying Vong technology. Unsung but vital, D'an was one of the first lifeforms to master the Vong language. Despite his pacifistic leanings, he also finally applied himself to the lightsaber learning the highly unusual Trakata technique, which he found effective against the traditional minded Vong.
After the war, he stuck close to Clighal, learning much from her and doing intensive research into many aspects of the Force, Galactic history and diplomacy. Stunned, as other Jedi, by the appearance of Abeloth, he was one of the strongest supporters of the withdrawal to Shedu Maad and heavily invested in the search of the Lost Tribe.

How is that? Still new at this.

I think I'm going to drop out of this one. Best of luck guys.

All righty then.

Hello. I'm also a noob to this place and love star wars (though I haven't read up on anything in the Vong arcs). Can we make characters other than Jedi? I was thinking about making someone from the galactic alliance that's either an Admiral or a special agent.

Not currently, also if you want help making a Jedi just ask and I will help out.

Alternatively you could make a younger Jedi that wasn't born yet.

I realize it might be confusing if you've not read into it, but the d6 star wars system actually has a really good way of balancing force and non force powers
