Equipment:(You CAN add one crystal to a light saber BUT only one, and along with the benefit, list a shortcoming it creates)

<Snipped quote by Nariata>Can point to a specific instance from one of the six movies, Clone Wars, The Clone Wars, or Rebels where a crystal provided a benefit or a shortcoming? If you can't I won't be doing that.

Gameplay mechanics are not a valid reason.

Nariata, shall I post my character sheet here first and wait for approval? Because I don't know whether we should post in the character tab immediately or not. I plan on re-using my cold character(s) for this RP though.

Typically this time frame uses the BBY to specify the year. Since the Battle of Yavin hasn't occurred yet and may never occur. I propose we use the BBG (before the Battle of Geonosis) & ABG (after the Battle of Geonosis).

The year in which the Invasion of Naboo took place would be 10 BBG (Episode 1)
The year in which the Battle of Geonosis took place would be 0 ABG (Episode 2)
The altered events that lead to this RP took place in the year 3 ABG. (altered Episode 3)
The year in which this RP takes place is 8 ABG.

Vishara Aashtii [+]

Name: Vishara Aashtii
Race: Togruta
Age: 34
Sex: Female
Affiliation: Jedi
Rank: Knight
Physical Description: (see above)

Mental Description: Peaceful by nature, Vishara does not enjoy fighting, but understands that it is a tool that must be utilized in certain circumstances. For this reason, she maintains extreme discipline with force and lightsaber usage, practicing both on a daily basis. She is a centered individual, but is fiercely loyal to the Jedi and the Jedi Code. She believes that the Jedi Code must be upheld to ensure peace in the galaxy, and grudgingly knows that she may have to fight to maintain its survival.

History: Vishara Aashtii was born on Shili, the homeworld of the Togruta. At a very young age a visiting Jedi discovered that she was force-sensitive and took her back to the Order for training. Despite hardly ever living among her people, she still retained their strong communal spirit, and thus devoted herself quickly to the ways of the Jedi, perhaps moreso than most. She lacks a strong sense of individuality, as she considers all Jedi to be one Whole, and each Jedi is simply an extension of the Whole. Despite this, she focused her lightsaber training in Form II, focusing on one-on-one dueling styles, finding the form to be beautiful and elegant.

Because of her strong devotion to the Jedi Order and her communal nature, she doesn't function well independently. She is known to get lonely easily, and does not handle isolation well. For this reason, she is never given missions that require her to work alone. She truly shines when working in a duo or a team, and will do whatever she can for the greater good of her companions.

Equipment: Curve-hilted lightsaber, silver colored. Jedi Knight robes. Basic gear.

Other: Posting this for approval!

Master Kiana [+]

Name: Kiana
Race: Dathomirian
Age: 238
Sex: Female
Affiliation: Jedi
Rank: Master/General
Physical Description:



Mental Description: Although she has been with the Jedi Order for over 200 years, she still considers herself somewhat an outcast within the order. She is also not the most... Upholding of the code. She does care for the order, knowing that without them, she would be consumed by hate. But at the same time, she is in a secret affair with Canderous, her Clone Commander, who she feels unwavering love towards.

Due to her actions during the Stark war, she has little confidence in her ability to command men. She usually leaves the actual commanding of the troops to Canderous whilst she is leading the charge.

History: Born on Dathomir, she was born into a Witch Coven, she grew up learning to control the Dark Side of the force. She grew strong in the Dark Side of the Force. When she was 20, she was sent to assassinate Jedi Master Plo-Koon, and failed. She was taken prisoner and exposed to the ways of the Jedi. All of her life, she had been taught that hate and passion were the only true means of attaining power, but here were the Jedi. They were the most widespread and powerful force weilding groups in the universe, who showed compassion to others. Perhaps, their way of doing things was the true way forward.

At first the Council forbade her entry into the order, the Witch's of Dathomir were known for their deceptiveness, but feeling no ill intent in her wish to join, Master Yoda accepted. She was placed under the direction of Jedi Master Plo-Koon, who taught her the Jedi way. Over the years, she fought for the Jedi for over 2 centuries. Although, she showed during the Stark Hyperspace War that she was rather a brash commander, her actions, though effective, showed that, as far as she had come, she was not ready to command many yet.

When the Clone Wars broke out, she was unavailable for the assault on Geonosis. But soon after, took command of the 139th and took part in a campaign to try and take

Canderous [+]

Name: Name: CC-0023 (N-8) "Canderous"
Race: Mandalorian (Clone)
Age: 15 (Physically 30)
Sex: Male
Affiliation: GAR
Rank: Commander
Physical Description:



Mental Description: A Commander that fights with the ingenuity of the progenitor. Unlike his brothers, he is not bound by the programming of the Kaminoans. As such, he will question orders and often come up with his own way of doing things. This has made him somewhat a notorious member of the army. His strategies seem to be inconstant flux. Sometimes fighting with everything and wasting no expense to assure victory, but other times, he will fight to make sure that the battle ends with as many of his brothers safely returning home, as possible.

History: Although officially, only 6 Null class Clones survived the incubation process, a 7th was saved by their creator, his embryo kept in chemical stasis, then placed into the first batch of commanders. His creator believed that by allowing him greater freedom, he could become one of the greatest commanders that the Clone army had ever produced, thus proving that his Null's were not as poor an idea as originally thought.

Growing up, he managed to pass out of the clone training at the top of his class, due to his out of the box thinking. His most notable act was to sabotage the final test, slicing the droids before the test so that they would assist his team, rather than hinder them. He

CG-7825/7, First Draft [+]

Name: CG-7825/7, informally "Whit"
Race: Clone, modified Human
Age: 18
Sex: Male

Affiliation: Grand Army of the Republic
Rank: Captain of Gamma Company, 1st Battalion of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, Coruscant OrBat

Physical Description:
A clone with few unique characteristic. Has aberrant blue eyes, as is common among early batchers. Is slightly taller than other clones.

Mental Description: One of the oldest surviving clone troopers in his Regiment, he is a commander who places a high value on the lives of his subordinates. He is straightforward and determined, experienced at knowing when to follow the field manual and when to improvise, but is by no means a risk taker (a factor no doubt contributing to his survival). He is perceptive, calculating, and is still filled with the absolute loyalty to the republic instilled during his indoctrination. He does not share the same reverence for the jedi that most of the less seasoned clones are filled with, seeing time and again the pro-jedi nepotism of command assignment put untrained greenhorns into ill-fated commands that led to horrible failures. He has a stronger impulse than most clones to protect civilian lives, something that he has picked up during his battle experience despite indoctrination ordering him otherwise.

History: Whit has been fighting the CIS since nearly the beginning of the Great War. He entered service four standard months after the battle of Geonosis, and served in dozens of battles leading up to the high water mark of Republic dominance, the Outer Rim Sieges. He earned his captaincy on Mygeeto and has served in the position for the last 5 years, earning a reputation in the Regiment for impressive skill in swift offensive operations. He fought on Dantooine, Torfan, Tythe and Sluis Van, and earned his Jaig Eyes at the doomed battle of Second Kashyyyk under the command of General Skywalker, after rescuing the wookiee head of state during the final siege. He has undergone ARC training, but due to a quirk in the increasingly disorganized oversight of the GAR he has never been a part of or directly commanded ARC troops.

Equipment: Phase IV-F Clone armor, colored red to indicate his captaincy. DC-22A Blaster Rifle, DC-17 pistol as a sidearm. Four frag grenades, two droid-poppers. Binoculars, dataslate, rations (three days), rappeling wire, full medkit, variable-wave command radio.

Other: Not Much

<Snipped quote by Revans Exile>

If you're being a holdout for Disney's new canon, then no, I don't think so. That said, there were at least a couple crystals in the the old canon (actually in the comic books) that supposedly had powers. By name, all I can offer you is the Kaiburr crystal (Luke mentioned them when he was talking about lightsaber creation), though I'm sure a quick trip to the Star Wars wiki would give you a few more.

I'm thinking of making a character. Not 100% sure, but I thought I'd chime in with that and this. They'll more than likely be a separatist, given the amount of Republic characters. Maybe a gray Jedi or a bounty hunter.

Name: Gin Intjausti

Race: Human

Age: 30

Rank: General

Physical description:


Mental description: Gin's sort of a mix of things. He can be arrogant, mostly in a fight, yet be the gentlest person you meet. His arrogance can be troublesome, often leading to flashes of anger that result in it being projected in the battlefield. Something that his superiors feel can lead him down a path to the dark side. On top of that, he can also be extremely vulnerable. There's also a lighter side to his engagements, often being sarcastic (something that helps keep him calm in dire situations).

History: Gin had just completed his training in the early stages of the Clone Wars. Trained under Ki-Adi Mundi, even at a young age, he was thrown into the heat of war, fighting alongside his master against the Separatists. Two instances; one where he returned to Coruscant, a bloody mess after being left behind on a mission where he was presumed dead by others, and another, where at impossible odds, he rallied a small bunch of Clone soldiers to fend off a hoard of Separatist droids resulted him in obtaining the rank of General. Regardless of the promotion, Gin still fought alongside his master when duty called. He didn't mind so much as he felt that there was still much more to learn in terms of leading soldiers.

Equipment: Lightsaber with green blade. Telescoping phrik staff that he utilizes along with his lightsaber from time to time.

Other: In terms of lightsaber technique, Gin's quite skilled in Form IV which is his favorite form. Thrown into the fray of war, where he encountered endless barrages of enemy blaster fire, Gin felt it necessary to touch up on Soresu as well.
Gin can pilot crafts.

I reckon he's done. It was only WIP originally because it was awaiting approval.

I wanna get in on this :D
