Perfect! Thanks, accepted, move his cuteness over to the Character tab, please use a hider

Will do. Just remember, he does have claws if you mistake him for a pet.

ooh goodie we can start soon.

@AdamantiumWolf/@Zarkun I was hoping I might be allowed to make an apprentice level character like originally planned for the last one, though I haven't seen Hawk in here yet so I might be on my own and have the character be an apprentice on the run? Personally i know I don't know quite enough to have the confidence of playing as a knight level and that is part of why I want to do this, so if you all are alright with it? And if not I'll just try my best haha, but let me know!

Sometimes the best way to learn is to do, but I'm fine with a Padawan level character on the run or whatever you and Hawk had in mind.

Well without Hawk around I kinda just ahve to wing it, so I'm sure I'll figure someething out though. Might need a little help balancing, so could I send the CS to you to review and help out as I write it up?

I would be glad to help.

Also for the record when I said Padawan I meant apprentice actually now that I think about it haha. Sorry bout that

I feel like making a Shadow Trooper Commando Squad that is specially trained to take on any Jedi. Might also make an Inquistor-like user to be their overlooking commander.

*leaps down from the rafters in front of ciphra and swats he others away*
MINE!

Seriously, its only been a day before assuming i'm dead. But since cihra has brought up our plans for the makutai, Beast was letting me play one on level to a high rank knight but not a master in order to be her trainer as she just makes graduation.

Here is what I have so far, history needs some refinement as we were waiting for official year to start this.
Appearance:

Name:
Sallanna {Storm roar}
Age:
256/400
Race:
Wookiee
Gender:
Male
Force Order:
Makutai

Weapon:
Unarmed combat: Before he was a makutai, he was a galactic-class shockboxing champion. He mastered wruushi and Stava on the last 300 years.

His Wan-shen is a massive executioners axe, made to take full advantage of his massive strength. It has been forged as much with his powerful body as it was with the force as he used his somatic style of force technique to heat and fold the metals. By forging it with the force to align the molecules of the blade, it is a far superior quality masterork weapon than its appearance suggests.

His Bowcaster is a much smaller, wrist-blaster device that collapses into a protective buckler upon his forearm. On most occasions, it is easily overlooked as bit of armor or badge of rank from the clone wars.

Armor:
Now that they are hiding, he wears only the outermost layer of his green Adept robe whose fabric contains half metallic threads into a defensive mesh with full mobility and is even suspected of being made heavier to weigh and slow him down when worn to improve his physical might when removed.

Force Powers:
The disciples of Makutai are capable of any skill jedi are capable of. The difference is that makutai blend the movements of the body into the use of the force as a single entity, requiring more full somatic rituals to use the powers others can achieve with a wave of the hand. This limitation and requirement to use the whole body to achieve youngling and padawan feats is the same reason that it is belived anyone can become a makutai as it draws out the latent force sensitivity of a sentient person that jedi would overlook.

From the common jedi core, these are his most common abilities to use.
Force weapon
A technique used by many force traditions that do not use powered weapons like lightsabers and vibro-blades. By channeling energy into the weapon, it allowed the wielder to strike and do more damage than the weapon's simple appearance would suggest. As a useful side effect, a Force-imbued weapon could be used to block lightsabers without damaging the weapon.

Enhanced Attribute: A Control-based Force power that allowed a Force-user to increase a physical attribute for a limited time, allowing them to jump higher, dodge quicker, see better, run faster, and the like. It could only enhance one attribute at a time.

Heal: A power that uses the Force to accelerate the natural healing process rapidly.

Force Speed
Also known as burst of speed or Force sprint, was a core Force power that allowed the user to maintain sprinting speeds for a brief time. Greater aptitude granted greater boosts to speed and/or greater duration. The increased speed of the Force-user enabled the individual to see the world and the entities around them in slow motion, allowing them to dodge attacks easily and attack more quickly with greater accuracy.

MAKUTAI SPECIFIC
One-handed fighting:
By using the whole body to generate momentum and points of leverage or resistance, Makutai may use their large Wan-shen with the practical ease of a medium weapon, freeing up a hand for other purposes.

Resistance to disease/poison:
The makutai learns to purge illnesses and poisons from his body before they can harm him. They gain a phenomenal resistance to resist such effects when first introduced into their system but can not push away an already established sickness they have already succumbed to before.

Weapon Kata:
Once per day, when the makutai makes a full attack against a single opponent with their wan-shen, they gain an additional unarmed attack against the same target above and beyond their usual number at full force. Many use thins extra attack to disarm with greater chance of success or trip their opponent without fear of reprisal due to the unexpected nature of the open hand attack in the flurry of weapon blows (this stacks with enhanced number of attacks from uses of the force to increase combat speed).

Body adjustment:
When you are in an environment of extreme heat or cold, you may adjust your body temperature to resist the negative effects of the weather. You may also increase your body temperature to extreme levels. Doing so makes your skin deal damage to any creature or object that contacts you (this stacks with unarmed combat damage).

Soft to solid
Makutai adepts spend much time learning the way their bodies move and function, mastering the ability to make normally soft parts of their body become incredibly rigid and tough. The makutai adept may give his flesh incredible rigidity for up to thirty seconds letting him reduce damage as securely as a blast vest and stacks with any protection provided by manufactured armor.

Personality:
As a Makutai, he is to keep balance within himself. Mind and body, withing and without, light and dark. Makutai are not seekers of combat, they are a true martial artists honing their body as the focus of the force rather than the jedi's separation of the two. He acknowledges the bestial nature of wookiee's racial rage as an aspect to embrace and explore but mindful to temper his temper as well. The beast may never be allowed to win, to that extent he underwent Onychectomy.

Over the last hundred years, he has come to grips with his own personal ethos to keep himself where he feels he needs to be:

Courage ~
I face my fear & defend my family and Kindred from all dangers
Discipline~
I do what is necessary & right of my own accord without bribe or threat
Fidelity ~
I am true to my family, friends & kindred to those I pledge my service
Honor ~
I stand by my oaths and honor my ancestors by keeping my name pure among my Kindred
Hospitality ~
I share hearth, food, & drink with my friends, my Kindred & the weary travelers at my door
Industriousness ~
I take joy in labour & holding nothing back in the work i have pledged to do
Perseverance ~
I press on against all odds until my goal is met & the task is finished
Self Reliance ~
I learn skills & grow strong so that i may earn my way in the world & be no burden to others
Truth ~
I seek the truth even though it may be a hard truth. I speak true words or stand in silence. I defend the truth from those who do not honor it

Background:
He has a longer history than most, if only for his natural life span.
*Most recently has been his adventure as a mentor-type role teaching another, a young mirilian Jedi padawan on the run from order 66. While he is no jedi, the purge has been so widespread to all force users it has been galactic press-gang of 'join or die'.

*Before that was the clone war itself, the makutai could not avoid the war, only their place in it. They chose to lend their force to the republic in a bid to gain the same recognition as the jedi. They could reasonably be found on any spacefaring planet so their presence was known but not nearly as concentrated. He was often mistaken for a jedi as he fought, an understandable mistake, he saw more worlds by number in those few years than he had in the centuries leading up to it.

*In the decades lead up to the latest great conflict, he himself was an apprentice to another adept. He spent ten years on ten planets ten times. He survived on Hoth wrestling wampas to truly undersand the depts of cold and what it takes to survive the arctic. On mustafar he sat beside the flows of lava trying to exert his will to cool the molten rock to solid. He swam with the gungans in the swamps of naboo to learn how to hold his breath for half an hour, using the force to either slow his respiration or push his bod to its furthest limits. The deserts of tattooine sandblasted the fur from his flesh while the arena pits of Geonosis had him fighting every creature their world and others had to hurl at him.

*He was once was a martial artist, touring the circuits with his combination of Wruushi and Stava. Famous for his ability to land single powerful blow strong enough to dent steel. He was facing off against a makutai master who beat him to a bloody mess it was a horrifying defeat that made him rethink all he knew and start over again as an apprentice to a new master.

Destiny:
"You shall Face a great evil, wreathed in flame."

Lol I'm going to have to message you the new character sheet I made for the character I created Knight. We'll have to change up a bit of things for it, but I think we can still make it work with this new character I made!

*leaps down from the rafters in front of ciphra and swats he others away*

Commando Avoc [+]

Name: ISC-1050 "Commando Avoc"

Age: ???

Race: Human (clone)

Gender: Male

Outside Appearance w: Like all clones, he looks heavily like Jango Fett, with a light beard on the chin and a slice scar on his forehead going horizontally.

Occupation: Galactic Empire; 501st Shadow Division

Weapons: Avoc carries an EE-3 carbine rifle as his primary defense weapon, the same weapon that's used by Boba Fett. As his secondary weapon, he carries two DC-17 Hand Blasters at the ready, usually used if in a tight pinch. He also carries 3 types of detonators with 3 in each set, those being; Thermal, Sonic, and Flash-Bang Detonators. As a melee weapon, he uses a darksaber, the same one once used by the late Tor and Pre Vizsla, which later was used by Darth Maul, specifically used to battle against lightsaber-wielding foes.

Armor: Like all Shadow Troopers, Avoc's all-black armor is a stark contrast to the typical white armor common to other stormtroopers that the armor otherwise strongly resembles. This unique black armor provided some stealth benefits, which resulted from the stygian-triprismatic polymer material used in the production of the armor. It also carries cloaking devices that rendered it invisible, or at the very least enter a state close to such, for a short period of time by warping the light around the user.

Personality: Avoc's personality can be compared to IC-1138 "Boss" of Delta Squad. He was incredibly gifted, and impressed his
training sergeant with his prowess and slyful strategy. He was a natural born leader and lead his own clone commando squad, "Beta Squad", into battle with fierce determination and caring for his troops. After loosing all of his troops during Order 66, he became cold-hearted and taciturn, and often when he did speak, it's usually to issue an order to his new shadow troop division. He has a deep hatred for the jedi and will often kill them in the brutalist way possible.

Background: Avoc was born as RC-1050 in the year 31 BBY, in the cloning facilities of Tipoca City, on Kamino. A clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, RC-1050 was created to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic as a clone commando and placed under the direct training of the Mandalorian Cuy'val Dar training sergeant, Zuyel Katar. After accomplishing many feats in training, like scoring the highest of his clone brothers in weapon and tactics training, he was assigned to "Beta Squad", where he would serve as it's sergeant.

Avoc and the rest of his squad went on many missions during the Clone Wars, such as the Battle Of Geonosis, Sabotage Over Bothawui (onboard an enemy Lucrehulk), The Siege of Saleucami, The Battle of Kashyyyk, and others. Yet it would be in the final days of the Clone Wars where he would find something that he'd greatly treasure, even saving his life. When his squad entered the palace on Sundari, he found what appeared to be a handle of a sword, only to find out it can ignite a flat black blade. What he found was the darksaber, a weapon that was stolen from the jedi by Tor Vizala, passed on by Pre Vizala, and then wielded by the late Darth Maul when battling Darth Sidious. He decides to secretly keep it for himself, thinking that it'll come in handy later on.

But it was during Order 66 when things got really out of hand. During a stealth operation during the Battle of Endor, an EMP blast managed to disrupt the commandoes' comnlinks for a short bit as they tried to get things together. However, this happened just mere seconds before Order 66 was issued, so they had no idea that the order had been issued. So when they found their Jedi General, who's name remains to be unknown, who thought that the squad was a threat, it attacked them, killing all three of Avoc's squad mates as they didn't expect this at all. Enraged, the surviving commando struggled to fight back against the jedi, but with no avail. It would seem that his end was near. However, while pinned down, he sees the hilt of the darksaber from within his reach. Wasting no time, Avoc grabs it and pierces the jedi's chest, stabbing its heart, killing him and saving the commando's life. He had no idea what happened to the jedi, only thinking that it must've turned to the dark side. But when told about Order 66 and how the jedi became "evil" the commando believed in it and his hatred for the jedi began to blind his mind and grow substantially.

However, his bravery and being the sole survivor of this surprise jedi attack, had been made known by the Emperor and Vader. As Avoc travels to Coruscant to meet them, he was given permission to test an experimental special commando division, known as the Shadow Division of the 501st Legion. With a title such as that and an elite division in his control, he couldn't say no to this opportunity. He and his division usually travel in various squads, ranging from 4 - 40 per group, hunting down the jedi and other force-sensitive beings on various planets, especially those such as jedi masters. Avoc is not to be messed with in the slightest.

Destiny: To hunt down all the jedi and bring order to the galaxy.

Avoc's Division Storm Commandoes [+]

Themes [+]

Theme 1: Vode An! Gra'tua Cuun Ka'rta Tor. (Brothers All! Our Vengeance for One Heart Of Justice.)


Theme 2: Commandoes On The Move

I love the character, I do. But I can't, in good conscience, allow him to keep the Darksaber after returning to Coruscant.

<Snipped quote by Lmpkio>

I love the character, I do. But I can't, in good conscience, allow him to keep the Darksaber after returning to Coruscant.

So you want him to be bestowed the Darksaber and keep it after returning to Coruscant then?

Cyrus Tavik [+]

Appearance [+]

Name:
Cyrus Tavik

Age:
23

Race:
Human

Gender:
Male

Force Order:
Jensaarai

Weapon:
He has a dual phase lightsaber, being able to make adjustments to his blade length at a flip of a switch. The lightsaber's normal blade length would be 1.3 meters, and it's modified blade length would be 3 meters. It can be used to surprise an opponent, or perhaps it would be used to change his combat stance at a moment's notice.

Armor:
The Jensaarai, as part of their journey from apprentice to defender, their version of knight, instead of constructing a lightsaber, which is done very early as a Jensaarai, they constructed special light armor. Cyrus modeled his armor after a reek, admiring the reek's tenacity at defending it's territory. The armor is made up of cortosis ore fiber, granting it resistance against lightsabers. However, any meaningful impact will pretty much daze him, allowing an opponent time to find weakpoints in his armor. Cyrus does not take off his armor in public, feeling his appearance is irrelevant.

Force Powers:
Cyrus, along with basic force powers such as pull and push, can use ballistakinesis, or the use of the force to propel several small objects to lethal velocities. However, the individual objects aren't very accurate, so actually being able to score a lethal hit with this ability is another story. Generally Cyrus will attempt to use this at close range, where accuracy might not matter. Cyrus is also able to mask his presense with the force, like the sith assassins.

Personality:
Cyrus is naturally curious, never missing a chance to learn more about the force and users themselves. He is extremely calm, and wishes no harm to anyone else, unless they mean to harm him or hinder his pursuit of the truth. Cyrus is not afraid to kill if needed be. While he may lift a hand to help others, it is not always altruistic, and generally means he wishes to ask them something. Cyrus dislikes jedi, but is still willing to discuss with them about the force and their philosophy, though he doesn't tolerate much else.

Background:
Cyrus was born into the Jensaarai, on the planet Susevfi. While he remembers little of his parents, Cyrus does know they were Defenders in the Jensaarai. Thus, he was trained as one. There wasn't much to note in his early years, as his training went as smoothly as any other Jensaarai Apprentice. After his trials, Cyrus was soon promoted to defender. However, With the rise of the empire, the Jensaarai thought they would be free to reveal themselves, a mistake that led to the empire hunting them down. Susevfi came under empire control, and in the chaos he found himself separated from his fellow Jensaarai. Unable to find his people as they had gone into hiding, Cyrus decided to go offworld, assuming the empire might have already made him the last of his order. Luckily Cyrus stumbled across sanctuary in his brief travels, where he resides now.

Tell me if I need to change anything.

Looks good to me

<Snipped quote by Zarkun>

So you want him to be bestowed the Darksaber and keep it after returning to Coruscant then?

Perhaps his Inquisitor overseer can hold on to it and bequeath it upon him when he deems it a good time to?

<Snipped quote by Lmpkio>

I'll have to make the Inquistor overseer soon, hopefully make that and a jedi profile today or tomorrow (though thats my limit for I don't want to get too carried away with characters).

But as for that... Idk. I mean, I want him to be tied in a little with the Clone Wars series. And really whats so wrong about him holding a darksaber? Its not like he has force powers or anything... mind if you explain a little?

<Snipped quote by Nytem4re>

I think it's just that it seems highly irregular for a clone to use. They probably were never trained in melee combat with a sword, as they had a firearm and rifle. That's my two cents.

If someone else, simply for an example, follows in your footsteps and makes a Trooper. They'll look at yours for an example and see that and do one of two things. A) They have to one up your Dark Saber somehow or B) They have to outdo you without using something better than a Dark Saber. On top of that, pre-Clone Wars lore stated it took a strong Dark Side connection to make it work in the first place. I'm willing to wave the lore bit, but I'd rather avoid potential problems.
