Want to throw in a sheet? As lon gas it's a Padawan it'll be alright.
<Snipped quote by Gowi>
Well, I can see I'm no longer needed here. I humbly offer Sini my spot. It's been a wonder working with all of you.
You guys know you can have two co-GMs, yes?
@Sep I'll be keeping an eye on it and maybe join in later. Now that I'm not in it from the beginning I'll have a hard time catching up with all sheets and talk. I do wish you all a great RP! :)

I just needed one.
Also theres only three accepted sheets and the talk isn't that important as most of it is questions regarding individual sheets :P
Also you sure?
As far as I am aware @Sloth only dropped to give you a slot.
1) Force Empathy is one of the few Force Skills that seems to come naturally, control of it is learned. Perhaps that is why he always misbehaved? ;)
2) Why Isard? Why these two Jedi?
That is all. Convince me on these points and you're good.
1) Not sure what exactly your asking xP
2) I was trying to think of a character that would likely be under investigation by the Jedi at the time. My first thought was Palpatine, because they did investigate him (by having Anakin Spy on him), due to him becoming too powerful. Obviously I wasn't going to have my character investigating Palpatine though! Then I thought: 'wouldn't the Jedi also want to keep tabs on his close allies?' And eventually settled on Isard. Then I thought, if these two were investigating Isard, wouldn't Mace (after discovering the true identity of Darth Sidious) want his close allies to be arrested? Which is why I said that the two jedi were going to arrest him. Why my two in particular? Because they're investigators and I couldn't see any reason why that would clash with the lore. You could argue that they'd want more experienced Jedi doing a job like that, but then again most were busy at that time.
If my character really has left a completely bad taste in your mouth from the offset, I wouldn't be opposed to making a new one from scratch.

1) As in Force Empathy isn't so much a learned skill, it's like a natural affinity that a Jedi learns to control. A good example of this is Ben Skywalker was so attuned to the Force due to all the death during his childhood he shied away from the Force entirely (subconsciously). Perhaps your Jedi was misbehaved (If you want to attach the empath element) because he was picking up on all the emotion in the temple (or perhaps even further during meditation).
This is really me just throwing an idea around.
2) No nothing like that point two I was seriously asking a question, perhaps make it a bit clearer. You just said they were allies, but what exactly does that entail between Palps and Isard? Also maybe a little more on how they investigated it, Isard was a powerful figure how do two Jedi go about investigating him?
^This is me being curious as I feel you could maybe expand on this, as I'd like to know how your Jedi Investigator goes about investigating ;)
Name: Shoraddik Age: Species: Wookiee Force Abilities:
Core Abilites
Force Perception
Mind Trick
Force Stun
Non-Force Abilities:
Form VI-Niman, Jar'Kai duelwielding
Capable Diplomat
Relativly Good Cook (For both wookiee and non-wookiees)
Has knowledge of unarmed combat as well as blaster combat
Wookiee strength and stamina
Personality/Motivation: Shoraddik first joined the Jedi order in the hopes to continue to foster peace between Kashyyk, part of a long time dream of his to have Kashyyk become the center of the democratic peace in the known universe. As with most of his species Shoraddik tends to keep himself a calm and peaceful believing that true power comes from knowledge to the force in lieu of physical prowess. Shoraddik dispises some of the misguided views that others hold about wookiees and through his actions and his deeds tires his hardest to show that wookiees are not always brutes but can be resonable and often times the reasonable voice in the crowd. Biography: Initiate Shoraddik was born on Kashyyk during the year 69 BBY, although he can't remember either his mother or father he does remember a fairly standard childhood. From an early age he Shor seemed to have an unnatural perception of the world around him, almost to the point that he predicted events that were to happen among the tribe to the point where his clan chieftan believed that he was to be a mystic. Even before he reached the age to take his trials into manhood the clan noticed that he was faster, more agile than others that had come before him. It wasn't until that one of his other clansmen remembered another that showed similar signs and told the cheif that they should call him. It was on that day that Shoraddik met Jedi Master Tyvokka.
After it was confirmed that he was indeed force sensitive, Tyvokka conscripted the newfound man and the two traversed the galaxy to the Jedi Temple to begin Shoraddik's training. Shor found great peace in meditation quickly learning to hone his innate traits learning to push the bounderies of his perception to limits that he previously thought unimaginable. It was soon discovered that Shor was a natural in using the Force quickly adapting to the core abilites, particularly his speed and telekenisis, Master Tyvokka realized the great potential that his new conscript showed to become a great Jedi. Once he came of age Master Tyvokka took him under his wing to be his padawan.
Padawan Under the tuetalage Master Tyvokka, Shoraddik became a fast learner in the ways of Force Perception soaking up all of the things that his Master could teach. To Shoraddik if he could predict the future he could bring peace to the galaxy, what he believed to be the ultimate goal of the Jedi.
Tyvokka trained Shor in all the ways of the Force and as Shor's training in Force Perception he found that he was able to manipulate the mind of others to a certain extent. Tyvokka told him that he had learned the art of the Jedi Mind Trick. A powerful tool but it should be used if normal diplomatic procedures should fail, warned Tyvokka, Shor learned first hand that it must only be used as a last resort.
Because of his lack of true combat prowess and the fact that he despised actually fighting, Shor researched and meditated on a way that he could defend himself and not have to draw his lightsaber. One day while training with another padawan Shor was about to lose the bout when other padawan ceased his attack and stood frozen in place. It was then that Shor realized that he could forceably stun a foe by manipulating the Force within them.
Although his prowess with the force was impressive Shor found it difficult to wield a lightsaber effectivlly in combat, to the end that Tyvokka began teaching him the Diplomat's Form to give him some sort of advantage in combat. As his training progressed the talk of war within the Outer Rim due to a shortage of bacta began forcing the Jedi Council into action, and it was Master Tyvokka who answered the call to work as a diplomat in what was to be called the Stark Hyperspace War.
44 BBY- Stark Hyperspace War At the age of fourteen Shor got his first taste of real political work following Master Tyvokka as ambassador in the negociations that would soon become known as the Stark Hyperspace War. During the initial negociations Tyvokka's instincts told him the story about the short supply of bacta was false and that Iaco Stark was witholding the real information was something far more devious. His intuition was right when shots were fired and the Trade Federation's new prototype droid was tested and proven to be a success.
Master Tyvokka was wounded in the trade off and Shoraddik did his best to lead but spent most of is time trying to save his master, to no avail. As Tyvokka lay dying the others looked to him to lead something that Shor was not used to but dispite his lack of leadership potential Shor lead the rest of the diplomatic team until Master Qui-Gon-Jin arrived and learned of what happened. On the spot Master Jin realized Shor's great skill and potential and the two, along with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Plo Koon and the rest of the team gathered enough troops to fight back against the Stark Combine.
Shor was present for all five battles which resulted in the Republic's victory eventually. What wasn't known was Shor's involvement in bringing Iaco Stark into the Republic's fold and the eventual surrender of the Combine. Due to the diplomatic training he recieved through his training with his former Master, Shor was instrimental in turning the tide both diplomatically and militarlly.
Knighthood: Becoming a Consular After his stint in combat Shor vowed that he would never again draw his lightsaber for combat again. Once the now Master Plo Koon offically knighted him Shor dedicatied his life to the diplomatic pursuits of the Jedi Consular. Dedicating his life for the next twenty-five years to the study of galatic history, diplomatic relations, as well as his normal training all in the hopes that he would never have to resort to violence ever again.
During his leave as diplomat Shor worked with the Galactic Senate as well as settling numerous disputes along the Outer Rim. While out on these diplomatic missions rumours of an attack on his home world as tensions between the Republic and Federation grew even more tense. While he was sworn to a life of peace Shor's intuition kept bothering him more and more and it seemed that the more that he was around Supreme Chancilor Palpatine something never felt right. His concerns about the Chancilor were soon put to rest as news of a Wookiee chieftans dissapearance brought Shor's attention back home.
The Battle of Kashyyk After hearing about the Trandoshian attack and capture of a major chieftan Shor immeaditly offered to go and attempt diplomatic communication believing that he would be the best possible person to open these lines. When the Trandoshian's would not respond to traditional means Shor feared that his work alone would prove fruitless so Shor called upon a friend of former Master an ithorian by the name of Wooror Taldura. The master's prowess in the diplomatic arts was legendary and Shor valued his opinion highly, both professionally and personally. With the arrival of the Delta Squad Commandos Shor knew that things were about to spiral into complete war if things didn't change soon and he hoped that Delta Squad's covert manuevers could end this before it began. Little did Shoraddik know that things were at an end in the Clone Wars, though not as he would expect. While Delta Squad did complete their mission, the Sepretist's droid army came in full assualt and with the arrival of Grand Master Yoda Shor knew that he would have to take on the role that he no longer wished to play. As if sensing his doubt and confusion Yoda sent Shor and Worror back to Courscant to wait at the temple. Shoraddik, saddened and almost angry about not staying to help his brothers and sisters, dutifully followed the orders of Master Yoda. Secrets:
The Stark Hyperspace War- While the battle is well known and the losses were inumerable, Shoraddik played a key role in the negociations that led to eventual defeat of the Stark Combine. What isn't known is the deep seeded anger and sadness felt when Shoraddik lost his master in sensless fighting. With great meditation and even greater restraint Shor was able to repress these feelings but the anger still dwells within him and he fears that he may yet one day give in to the temptation of the Dark Side because of it.
The Clone Wars-Battle of Kashyyk- Having only recently returned to the Temple after leaving the battlefield that would be Kashyyk, Shor believes that it was his place to fight alongside his brothers and sisters to defend his homeland. Upon Master Yoda's instructions he left but once again his sense of self impeaded upon his greater duties as a Jedi. With this wound still fresh in his mind, he has begun to question if he should have disobeyed Yoda's request and fought with his people.
OK, I've got all but the backstory done now. I have an outline though for what happens plus some factors that need to be settled.
(But younger looking and without the collar)
Name: Jasma Quillum
Age: 17
Race: Twi'lek
Appearance
A slender, average, blue Twi'lek with black markings and grey eyes, around 5' 4". She wears the normal Jedi garb of a padawan with a blue lightsaber.
Force Abilities
Basics-(focus on Telekinesis; uncomfortable with Mind Control
Force Healing
Force Insight (a rare force ability that allows a person's core personality to be be felt, to fully delve into the ability as of now she needs to focus all her attention to the specific person, though she passively gets hints)
Non-Force Abilities
Lightsaber Combat: Is proficient in Forms I-III (Stronger in using the force than in using a lightsaber)
Herbal Knowledge
Dancing
Personality/Motivation
If Jasma sees innocent people or allies in danger, she'll rush in and help them. She prefers simple situations, where there's a clear goal, a clear enemy, and obvious things for her to do, making her one of the few Jedi who were actually comfortable on the battlefield. She has no patience for diplomatic situations (though she has graduated from having her master stop her from threatening to kill the annoyance to having to be stopped from keeping the person where they were until they agreed through creative means[ex. surrounding the target with furniture then making the furniture immovable, having carpets ready to pounce]), but she would be in absolute horror of herself if she actually did kill someone without cause and does try to suppress that temper. A major motivator there is that she wants to be like the third Barsen'thor of the order, an exceptional Force user during the Galactic War both warrior and diplomat who freed a planet from the Sith Empire practically single-handed and the Sith Emperor's most entrenched spy. She's read the files of that Jedi's exploits so many times that she could recite the whole thing word by word. Probably has a lot of the order's history practically memorized like that as well, from all her looking about for any clues of where holocons of lost Jedi techniques are, especially the shielding one that first made the Barsen'thor famous. Though she also studies up on more common force techniques though but hasn't recieved actual instruction.
Jasma has less memory of her parents then even most Jedi or of her time on the planet Ryloth. She isn't sure what happened exactly, just the slave ship when she was four. Her force insight already manifested itself, helping her keep clear of the most vile of the ship. But her only pleasure was in the dance lessons, used by the slavers to increase their cargos' value but allowed Jasma a mental escape from what was going on. But she was never submisive, shielding others from the crew's wrath and attempting to escape whenever she had the chance. But it was only the captian's cockiness and a corrupt official that finally lead her to the temple.
It seemed like a nice simple plan to the two of them. One of the younger girls would go with the Captain and some of his men to the designated meeting place on Courscant. The rest would stay in orbit hidden from detection until they came back. Some well placed bribes and the crowd would help hide some of the peculiarities. Jasma, six at the time, was chosen for her skill at dancing and as a way to profitably get rid of the annoyence of her escapes. But at the Jedi temple, one of the initiates decided to do a bit of exploring and snuck out. He was seen though by one of the Jedi masters, who smiled and followed the boy to make he didn't get into too much trouble, though maybe enough trouble to keep him from wandering again.
Secrets
Jasma became the closest of friends with the boy that helped save her life throughout their years together at the Jedi Temple. But she hides especially from him the love that she developed for him. She read in the Archives how two Jedi who were initiates/padawans in the Temple together could get married and would like to initiate that with him. But she doesn't know how exactly he feels for her and doesn't want to force him into that kind of relationship without his true consent.
She trained herself in her people's traditional dances in secret at the Jedi Temple, mostly because she knew it was probably something they did not want a Jedi initiate to waste their time learning and she was embarrassed to show many of the moves to the other's with the vow of chastity the Jedi had to take and all. But she finds it somewhat increases her lightsaber skill since the fluidity and gracefulness inherit of dancing gives a mindset to help develop her fluidity and gracefulness with a lightsaber.
Relationships
(insert name here): the boy who helped save her life, they have now grown to be the closest of friends, though at least on one side, something more brews under the surface
Seris: Jasma knows her by sight at least from Jasma's vists to the Archieves to pour over the holocrons there, reading about various Jedi force techniques, hints about where to find long lost techniques, the story of the third Barsen'thor again, and other information she's curious to know, also where she makes sure no one is watching when she starts her dance practices.
Master T'ish: her Jedi Master[to be expanded upon]
(Any connection between other players' characters are welcome.)
(If someone has a male initiate/padawan character, would they be interested in being her crush that helped in her rescue from slavers? If there is no one, then he can just be a NPC that might or might not appear.)
I'm so sorry I'm still so late on this. I sort of spent a lot of my mental bandwidth on another project, but my sheet is absolutely still coming! Thank you so much for your patience. :3

It's fine.
Even if the IC starts at the weekend and it's not done there'll still be time.
Can someone quickly remind me: Do Jedi construct their lightsabers before or after becoming padawans?
(I thought it was after, but I've ready a couple of things that contradict that)
Before, quite often it's part of their initiate trials. Though quite often they make a second one when they become a Padawan and personalize it a bit more. Some even just made a Lightsaber just to get past the initiate trials, and then went on to make something fancy.
@Sep Do you mind if Jasma is a padawan or would you prefer her to be an initiate? (If you say yes to her being a padawn) @Jbcool What would you say to Jasma being T'ish Keth's apprentice?
I guess then it would be up to Jbcool then. And just hope that virtual simulation would be a good enough explanation for how they gauged her diplomatic ability.

It would probably be more along the lines of gauging interest, and then a series of aptitude tests. Also the feeling with the Force.
You guys also realize you can discuss fun RP things or random SW things here... right? :P
