Overview
Dark times have fallen upon The Republic. Greed, corruption, and distrust have taken hold, not only in The Senate, but in the minds of the citizens of the galaxy. The Jedi Order is doing what it can to maintain the peace, but public opinion of the once revered order is dropping quickly, as The Jedi continue to serve a government that is becoming more and more corrupt. While The Jedi were once respected and valued negotiators, more and more often they are found on one side of a battle, rather than standing between them, and things only seem to be getting worse. As territory disputes, political warmongering, and personal grudges erupt into violence, shaking The Republic down to it's very foundation, and threatening to collapse into all out war as The Senate becomes more and more divided. It is up to those who still believe in the core values upon which The Republic was founded to restore peace, and order, before it is too late.

And in the middle of all of this, a plot to destroy The Jedi Order lurks just under the surface, will The Jedi uncover it before it's too late, or are they doomed to fail? Only time will tell.

---

Our story begins as Jedi Master and Council member Liam Traylan goes missing deep in the outer rim territories, while investigating ancient ruins believed to be linked to the origins of The Jedi and Sith. His former Apprentice and best friend, Jedi Knight Jayce Darkfyre, along with a team of fellow Jedi, including his new apprentice are dispatched to locate Liam and bring him back to the Jedi temple alive, and hopefully uncover the truth of the ruins he was investigating.

You will play as one of the people assigned to this mission, or somebody who eventually meets up with them for various reasons. If you wish to be a non-jedi character if you can provide a good reason as to why you would be involved with this situation, I will accept your character. I'd also like to know if anyone would like to play Jayce's Padawan, though I can play them as well if nobody wants to.

---

What's your name?: Jayce Darkfyre

How old are you?: 23

Where do you come from? Boy or girl?: Jayce is a human male from Nar Shaddaa.

What do you look like?: Jayce is an imposing figure, for a human, standing at six foot two, and weighing 190 lbs. He has fair skin and medium length auburn hair, accompanied by pale green eyes, and an often stoic expression. Considered handsome by many, he often uses this to his advantage in his missions, be it extracting information, or negotiating. Jayce wears a dark brown variant of the traditional Jedi apparel, the only unique thing being that he keeps his mother's old pendant in his utility belt as a secret keepsake. Under his robes, he has a rather large scar over his shoulder blades from a mission when he was a padawan in which he was captured and tortured for information.

Tell us about yourself: Jayce is a young, but well respected Jedi Knight in the Jedi Order, known for his skill with a lightsabre and daring tactics. Though as a Padawan learner he was very impatient, and often impulsive and rash to a fault, he has gotten better at slowing down to think about the situation, and has a better understanding that sometimes patience pays off. A natural leader, Jayce is extremely loyal, and will go to any lengths to protect others, or help people in need, regardless of the situation. Though still rather emotional for a Jedi, he leads by example, and always manages to back up his words with action, if he makes a promise, he does everything in his power to keep it, because that's what he wants from others. An extremely skilled swordsman, Jayce devotes himself to Form V, a skilled practitioner of both Djem So and Shien, in battle he is a force to be reckoned with, using his strength and size to his advantage as he pummels his opponents into submission. Outside of this, Jayce has recently become a master to a young padawan learner, whom he has vowed to protect no matter what. As a mentor Jayce is tough, but fair, even though he sometimes contradicts his own teachings with his rash actions, he has developed a strong bond with his padawan, and they have become a formidable duo.

Being raised on one of the most dangerous planets in the galaxy, and being brought to the Jedi temple later than most others, he has always been rather unique as far as personality goes amongst his peers, having a hard time adjusting to The Jedi lifestyle, even though it was the only life he was able to lead after his parents died. He secretly disagrees with some of The Jedi Code, and thinks that The Order in general follows it too literally, He believes that The Jedi, and The Galaxy as a whole have changed greatly since The Code's creation, and it is now outdated, though he hasn't voiced these thoughts to anyone outside of his former master.

What's your story?: Jayce was born on Nar Shaddaa to a smuggler and his wife, where he went unnoticed by the Jedi Order until he was 7 years old, when a member of the Jedi Order and his apprentice came to Nar Shaddaa to investigate allegations of treason against a local politician. In the events that followed, Jayce's parents ended up involved with The Jedi, and agreed to help hide them from the local crime lords while they completed their investigation. Unfortunately his parents were killed in a firefight while protecting him, and he was eventually taken back to The Jedi Temple on Coruscant to be trained, after the Jedi discovered him to have a strong connection to The Force and also feeling responsible for what had happened to his parents, even though he was initially against the idea, as he blamed not only himself, but also The Jedi who had been unable to protect his parents. Eventually, however, he realized that he had few other options, and decided to dedicate his life to becoming a powerful and wise Jedi, someone who could protect others, so that people wouldn't have to go through what happened to him. Eventually he became apprenticed to a promising and kind Jedi Knight named Liam Traylan, who he would remain close friends with, even years after his apprenticeship ended and he became a Jedi Knight himself. They went on countless adventures together, and saw much of the galaxy, all while helping as many people as they could, and fighting many battles. and though he was not always an obedient student, and they disagreed on things more often than they agreed on them, they eventually developed a very close bond, and became one of the most promising duos The Jedi Order had produced in recent times. When Jayce was eventually instructed to teach his own Padawan, he hoped only that he could be half as good of a teacher as Liam was to him, and vowed that he would not mess up the responsibility that had been given to him by The Order. When Liam went missing while investigating the Ancient Ruins on a newly discovered planet in Wild Space, Jayce demanded that The Council allow him to go and search for him, to which they eventually agreed to, forming a team of Jedi in order to go learn the truth behind Liam's disappearance.

Anything extra that you want to tell us?: Jayce wields a single blue lightsabre, and is very street smart, due to being raised on Nar Shaddaa, he knows his way around some of the most dangerous planets in The galaxy, and has come out mostly unscathed.

Hold me a spot, I shall get to my CS when I return from class!

Name: Adaan Lore

Age: 22

Origin and Sex: Mandalorian Male from the civilized part of Mandalore

Appearance: Adaan is average in appearance and he likes it that way because it makes him hard to distinguish from a crowd. He is five foot seven inches tall and fit due to his militant lifestyle, with medium length raven black hair and short beard on his lean stern face that bores no distinguishing features. He wears a suit of unmarked faded yellow mandalorian light scout armor complete with a light helm that has a visor only covering the top half of his face. He wears a backpack full of tools and hacking hardware as well as an extensive utility belt holding other more often needed tools as well as ammo for his blaster carbine.

Biography: Adaan wasn't always an outlaw, he was born on Mandalore into a well respected militant family with a long tradition of service. However as Adaan grew he found his attention drawn to the mechanisms of the technologies around him and as he grew his interests shifted from his fathers and he found himself struggling between his families wish for him to join the Mandalorian military and his wish to further his study. When he reached the age of 21 he was already trained in the martial ways of close quarters fighting as well as the proper use of a variety of blaster weapons, he became decent at both even though he wasn't particularly interested. In the time between training and schooling he was plotting of a way to escape his existence. One day he found his chance when he learned of a raiding party of tribal marauders was leaving the planet and the system to go pillage for wars own sake.

He stole his fathers veteran gear and ran to the wilderness to find the pirates. When he did however it was not as simple as that for the pirates were grizzled veterans themselves they organized a series of trials to test his Strength, Wits, Intelligence and sheer force of Will and Resolve. With great struggles he hunted down one of the largest predators of Mandalore proving his Wit. He hacked into and stole a hundred thousand credits to help fund the pirates, barely escaping the security force he had proven his Intelligence. His Strength and Will were tested through a series of trials by combat that had left him traveling with them in a bacta tank for two weeks due to the severe cuts and bruises.

He spent two months with the pirate crew pillaging and honing his criminal skills in hacking and tampering with droids, explosives and security systems. That however was only a means to an end and when he felt that he had nothing more to learn from them he parted ways in search of new things he had not yet seen and maybe even a few wonders. They left him on the planet of Dantooine where he found his way to a Jedi Enclave where he decided to rest for a few weeks.

What's your name?: Zariev Avros

How old are you?: 23

Where do you come from? Boy or girl?: Male. He was born on the Echani home world of Eshan

What do you look like?: Zariev is 6'2 and has the silver eyes and white hair that are commonly seen among the Echani. His hair goes down to his shoulder. Instead of wearing the customary brown robes of the Jedi Order he wears a robe that has been customized for him to allow him to have the best possible freedom of movement during battle and during training.

History: Zariev was born on the Echani home world of Eshan to an Echani battle-master and an Echani senator and was found to be force sensitive at an early age. He was taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and after a few years of training and learning the Jedi Code he was assigned to a Jedi Master. Unfortunately for Zariev, after years of training with and learning from his Master, she was killed during a skirmish with Morgukai warriors on a backwater world in the outer rim territories. Despite being a very formidable opponent with his double-bladed lightsaber and his force abilities, Zariev was barely able to survive the encounter and after stopping the Morgukai he limped back to his Master's star ship and was forced to send out a distress call after taking off from the planet. A republic vessel was able to pick up the distress call and was able to return him to Coruscant where he spent nearly four days in a bacta tank.

Shortly after the incident, Zariev was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight for managing to stop the Morgukai. His first act as a Knight was to attend the funeral of his Master. During the Funeral, he was unable to keep his calm and burst into tears at the sight of his master's body burning on the pyre knowing that he would never be able to speak to her or ask her for advice again. He was given a few assignments that kept him in the Jedi Temple while he struggled to bring his emotions back under control and finally succeeded after a few weeks. The Jedi Council have finally decided to allow him to leave the temple and join a mission to find a missing Jedi Master.

Anything extra that you want to tell us?: Zariev wields a violet double bladed lightsaber and is a very skilled combatant due to teaching himself Echani combat techniques and his Jedi combat training.

I'll accept this character, and will think of a decent way to shoehorn him into the story, but you may have a little bit after the roleplay starts, because the party will be initially setting out from Coruscant. Unless you want to edit your bio a little bit to include him eventually making his way to Coruscant and the Jedi Temple there, otherwise, I'll think of something.

Accepted, nice to see an Enchani character.

Dawnon, remind me to fill you in on some've the Mando lore later. I see a few holes in here. Not to be a jerk, just saying. And he's my CS.

What's your name?: Keenok Tetsu
How old are you?: 34
Where do you come from? Boy or girl?: Male
What do you look like?:
Tell us about yourself: Keenok is a fairly good example of a Jedi Guardian. A just, honest man that, while he prefer to settle a dispute peacefully, is willing to fight for what is right and to defend the innocent. He prefers to operate alone, though in a group he rarely takes the role of leader, prefering to follow. He can still be a little emotional and sentimental, but for the most part he has a good hold on himself in that regard. In combat he doesn't limit himself to any one style, prefering to adapt as the situation demands, though he is most proficient in a moddified form of Shien.

What's your story?: There isn't much to be said about this man. Born on Rodia in the lands of the Tetsu Clan, he was found to be Force-Sensitive at an early age and sent to the Jedi on Coruscant at five. He excelled in the physicial aspects of training, making his path as a Guardian obvious to most that knew him. At seventeen he was taken as a Padawan by Jedi Master Caran Dojis, serving most in the Mid Rim to settle brushfire wars. The highlight of his time as a Padawan was during a dispute on Rodia, in which he was forced to defend a small band of pacifists from an attack by the Chattza Clan. Afterward, his father presented him with his family's sword, and gave Keenok a simple instruction.

"Go, my son. Show our people what it means to live with honor and justice."

Shortly after, Keenok was deemed ready to face the trials and was promoted to Knight. Thereafter he devoted himself to learning the ways of the ancient Jedi Weapon Master, training in a number of uncommon, unorthadox Jedi weapons. He continues to serve mainly in the Mid Rim, though now he's been instructed to return to Coruscant to assist with the investigation of a missing Jedi Master.

Anything extra that you want to tell us?: As a Weapon Master, he's armed to the teeth. He carries with him at all times a green lighsaber pike and a traditional Rodian scimitar. He also carries a holdout blaster when the situation permits, and on occasion thermal detonators as well.

I'm going to post my C.S. within the week.

Accepted!

Meet Aadan Lore

Sorry for the lack of a character sheet. I've been busy with schoolwork. I might have time this weekend to get one up, but no promises.

I can be Jayce's Padawan.

What's your name?: Kess D'loar

How old are you?: 19

Where do you come from? Boy or girl?: Arkania. Female.

What do you look like?: Kess could be considered 'pretty' by some. Due to being Arkanian, she looks very human. She has short, wavy dark auburn hair, nearly-black eyes, and gently tanned skin. Kess isn't very tall, only five feet five inches without any shoes on. She has a gentle-featured face, and her small frame is on the slender and lithe side. Her innocent face and quiet voice can be good when questioning some, and good when appealing to others. Due to being Arkanian, Kess only has four digits on her hand instead of a human's five. However, she is just as good with her hands as any human, if not better than some. Kess wears a dark reddish tunic with faded black pants, and often wears a long-sleeved coat her parents sent her.

Tell us about yourself: Kess, at first, seems to be a normal padawan. However, five minutes of watching her train will show her true colors. While training, all of her skittish, shy nature reveals itself. Her insecurity, fearfulness, and jumpiness held her back quite a bit in her training, taking patience to overcome. She is still very jumpy, but she's undoubtedly fast, with almost animalistic reflexes and a smooth, almost gentle way of combat that's pleasant to watch. In spite of her skittish nature, Kess is not a bad person, being rather sweet at heart and very empathetic. Her connection with the Force is rather strong, a fast-paced, unpredictable life making her connection the only thing she could ever consider a constant. Due to a large part of her short life being so hectic, Kess is very adaptable to change, and actually has come to expect it, better or worse. In short, Kess is a skittish, yet adaptable person who's hectic life has finally started to slow down.

What's your story?: Kess is the daughter of two successful Arkanian scientists, who were put together through an arranged marriage. However, they got along just fine, their love of science binding them together. They only had one child, Kess. From a very young age, Kess was used to constantly moving, and never staying in one place (or one planet). Sometimes, her parents weren't even together for up to weeks at a time, each working on different projects, and it varied who Kess stayed with. Her cool, almost emotionless Mother, or her passionate, joyous father. Kess was never mistreated or really forgotten, but she didn't get the socialization she should have had, and the (sometimes dangerous) assignments her parents had gave her a jumpy, skittish way of living. The unpredictable and endless questioning was Kess' way of life. However, when she was 6, her Force connection began to emerge. Her parents were very happy with this new discovery, and on their way to take their daughter to Corsucant, studied her Force abilities with tempered curiosity. The first part of Kess' training took a while, due to her shyness and perfectionist complex. Once these were overcome enough for her to train normally, she did rather well. Kess was originally going to be apprenticed to a different Jedi who had struggled with a perfectionist complex as well, but tragically, they were killed by space pirates while on a mission. Kess had never met her potential master, and was instead apprenticed to Jayce Darkfyre.

Anything extra that you want to tell us?: Kess uses a single green lightsaber, but she also carries a sharpened boomerang with her as well.
