The Interest Check

Following the events of KOTOR 2, the Exile and her apprentices begin rebuilding the temples on Dantooine and Coruscant. Because the Jedi order is so near to extinction, they have suspended the Jedi rules forbidding the training of adults and limiting a master to one pupil. Instead, adults and older teenagers are sent to Dantooine for training, while children are sent to Coruscant.
Briana runs the Academy on Dantooine, and teaches lightsaber techniques, with Mikal teaching the force basics and being a sort of a friend and leader for the initiates, basically being in charge of an adult or teen's instruction until they become a Padawan. Atton is in charge of finding recruits and will keep an eye on things for the Jedi in the less civilized sections of the galaxy. Bao-dur is helping to rebuild the temples. Mandalore returned to his people, as the threat has passed and he has Mandolorians to lead. Visas and Mira work with the younglings at the temple on Coruscant, and are responsible for their training, and The Exile, being the Grand Master, advises the Senate while raising money for the order. T3 helps Bao-dur, and HK helps with the combat training on either world if needed, or is sent with Atton if he's going somewhere especially dangerous.
We will all arrive on Dantooine via the Ebon Hawk, flown by Atton, as he picked us up from around the galaxy. The RP will center around our training, with our enemies mostly being locals that don't like the Jedi, Mandos who came there, and wildlife.
While it will contain combat, it is more of a character development RP, as our characters will go from being non-jedi to learning to use the force. The Jedi won't reject most people, so as long as you are basically good, they should accept you. Age also doesn't matter, though you should be an adult or teenager, as the the RP will be on Dantooine.

[WIP]
Name: Almor Novik

Age: 12

Species: Togorian

Appearance:


Occupation: Jedi Youngling

Skills: great climber, skilled fighter and pick pocket

Personality: he is a tough boy, but deep down he wants to live a life away from the violence that plagues the galaxy. Unlike many kids his age, Almor never had dreams of becoming a Jedi, but he always had feelings that the force was strong with him. Growing up poor gave him a slightly cynical view of the republic and the galactic community, but he would never sympathize with the Sith because of what they did to his family. He has spent time having to steal to eat and has had to fight to survive. Upon finding out that he was a force sensitive and was to train with the remnant of the Jedi order, Almor felt that his life may be turning around and his personality became lighter. He has hopes of being to make a difference as Jedi and finding the peace that he deeply desires.

History: Almor was born on the outer rim planet of Togoria and ever since he could remember, his family has always been poor. Growing up with little money made things hard which was a harsh reality for life on the outer rim. Some nights Almor's family couldn't even afford to put food on the table and it was those times that he decided to turn to stealing to try and help his family. Eventually his family left Togoria for a mining planet on the outer rim where his father worked. The cost of living was cheaper but there were more violent people who inhabited the planet and this made it a more dangerous place for Almor.

For as long as he could remember Almor had always felt a strong power deep within him and he couldn't truly explain it. Some who he had talked to about it said that it was force and that he may have a strong connection to it, meaning that he could become a Jedi. He had heard stories of the fabled Jedi order, but he had never seen any himself and his imagination soared at the thought of doing amazing things with the force. He tested it out to see if the stories were true about the great power of the force. At first nothing happened, but he eventually tried out concentrating on doing something incredible and he started to jump at heights that were impossible for any normal Togorian.

He felt incredible when he figured out how to harness the force jump without the training for a jedi and he practiced almost everyday to get better. He also tried moving stuff with the force, but that was much harder and he barely could manage to get a small box to move. Almor's discovery of his force abilities made him have hopes of leaving the planet to make something of himself.

Equipment/possessions: basic jedi robes and a blue lightsaber.

Force Power(s): he is very skilled with the Force Jump ability and he is training to improve his Force Push skill.

Strengths: Even though he is strong in the force, Almor is more focused on his lightsaber training and he has chosen form five Shien and Jem-So as his primary combat form

Weaknesses: HIs lack of force training and his young age makes it harder for him to withstand powerful hits.

Yog: I know it's a WIP, but there are a few smal issues:

1) So that I only have to do one Academy, everyone should be an older teen or adult. I don't know how fast Togorians grow up though, so maybe he is nearing adulthood.
2) Lightsabers aren't given to students until they are Padawans. You will be issued a blue, green, or yellow practice lightsaber (your choice) for use in your training, but it is the property of the Academy. If you can come up with a good reason for you to have it (a parent or other relative that died in the Sith War or something) I'll allow it, but not for use, as you won't know how to properly use it yet.

can't we at least bend the rule about children being trained in this rp? It is a very common thing in star wars lore.

I'll go for a Yellow training lightsaber, is it okay if my character is Lawful Good but is philosophical in the sense that using Dark Side Powers is normal to Jedi and stuff like that, etc etc.

Well Adado will go with Blue as he is a Guardian in training and Lelila shall use a Yellow blade, the Sentinel.

Adado already has his crystal but needs to hone it and attune to it more. Lelila would need to search for her own, which I will probably use as a coming of age thing, learning to do things without Adado's assistance etc.

I know, I just figured they'd separate the kids and the adults, as things change quite a bit when you get older. You don't need to lecture kids in not falling in love, and they tend to be less mature than adults.
It's only a few years, but in terms of your training, it makes a big difference in how the Jedi interact with you.

My character is a lot like that. He's not evil, and won't let himself fall, but he doesn't have a philosophical problem with using the dark side. The light side can be use for evil and the dark side can be used for good, as he sees it. I'll use a yellow saber too.

My whole reason for having my character be his age is so that I could have a character who interacts differently. Also star wars is full of adults so it would be cool to mix things up

The rest of us will be starting off as a normal person who has an affinity for the force. I've limited people to one (or in the case of one character, two) powers because they shouldn't have many powers if they are just starting off. Both the Sith and the Jedi are all but extinct (at least in this part of the galaxy), so it wouldn't make sense for you to have extensive training. If, however, you had some training, then the other side likely would have learned about you and searched for you. The fact that you weren't recruited before means that you weren't noticeable to the Sith and were either too old for the jedi or too weak for them to notice you.

If you can come up with a reason for him to be at Dantooine instead of the with the other children on Coruscant then it's fine.

Oh my god...

So much gammeeeee. Colours weren't defined by classes, and there weren't actual classes in the Jedi Order that's just something to make it easier for games q_Q. Sorry it's just a bit the games brought forward that annoys me.

Name:
Rar Roxron
Age:
22
Species:
Shistavanen
Appearance:

5'6 and a lean frame of 150. He always stands in a 'rocker slouch' or crouched low to rest. His fur keeps him warm enough that he rarely wears a top unless requested, he wears a utility belt holding up his billowy pants or a kilt to prevent it from messing with his body fur. When exploring, he wears a Tracker Vest loaded down with gear including most of his equipment for electronics.
Occupation:
Lead vocals of "Sithspawn" (an angry whiteboy music genre band)
Skills:
A classically trained opera singer and tech specialist in electronics that started from rigging music devices and grew from there.
Personality:
By facade, he is a dark brooding blacksouled individual. In truth he's truly an adventuring soul, traveling the planets as a bard looking for action and adventure to inspire his next song.
History:
Born on his home planet, he had nothing but plans to live and die there as a world renown singer of his people. Classically trained singer, his abnormally large lungs were trained to enhance the natural gift he has been given with lessons in pearl diving, to hold his breath longer and longer while exerting himself against a tidal pool's whim and pay for the lessons with what he found below the waves. All would have been well in his life if not for divine intervention.

Perhaps divine intervention is a misnomer, but a ship did fall from the sky to crash into the school, ending his career before it began. Those that emerged were escaping students who fled Korriban, they and their ship was too damaged to try and conquer the plant with their combined force so instead they sought to rebuild their ship, convert a few slaves and get off to a real place of galactic civility. Rar was one of them.

The singer already had some skill in electrical engineering from setting up sound systems and he was closest force sensitive to the crash site. When the local galactic force came to investigate, he ingratiated himself from soon-sith-slave to companion by lying through his fangs to explain that they were jedi who had meant to come here but got captured BY the sith and shot down in a stolen ship while trying to escape. That it was best to let them hurry up and be on their way.

When repairs were done, he wanted to go with. His presence as a singer would lend some credibility to their travels, they scavenged a few teaching droids to gift the former students with new skills to help them hide and keep on the run from sith and jedi alike during the war. They did quite well making a name for themselves until finally they were approached by the new jedi masters after a concert.

Equipment/possessions:
His microphone is custom made to be able to handle his howls and wirelessly hack all speakers in a 10 meter radius to amplify his effect.
Utility Belt
Tracker Vest
Force Power(s):
Force bellow A force power he can use to enhance his howl to lethal force or bring crowds into an enthusiastic frenzy
Strengths:
As shistavanen are afflicted by an unknown genetic engineering, in his case several generations of genetic flaws have culminated into a much larger set of lungs than any other has had in several generations. With additional training by singing and pearl diving, he can hold his breath for a full five minutes before having to come up for air and does not panic when suddenly underwater.
He has always had an ear for music and can use his heightened sense of hearing to tell if a voice is real or manipulated.
While he has no power beyond his howl, he was being taught the methods and skillset of the sith school.
Weaknesses:
His sensitive hearing, smell and night vision can leave him more susceptible to attacks from sonic weapons, gas attacks and sudden light bursts than others.
