Well, this is probably going to be a focused story on the Jedi. If we have a few Republic soldiers, great! I'll be using quite a few NPCs if it comes down to it. I do not mind as I've been keen on doing this KoToR focused RP for a long time now.
I might have some interest, but I can't say I have a lot of time. Being a grown up sucks hard :p
That being said, I am a newly ascended Jedi Knight in a group I participate in irl, currently studying for my master exams. So ... I guess the purpose behind that statement would just be to show how much of a fan I am.
I'm not typically into fandoms, and I have two rp's taking up a lot of room on my plate. But if I can hang around and see how this goes, I might be obliged to make a character :)
When we're talking about the cosmic force, the life after death example: it wouldn't make sense for a padawan or a knight to be in tune with that kind of power. If you made a Master, perhaps. Perhaps they're somewhat close to being able to access such a thing as that could make sense with their abilities. As always, it's about steering clear of the OP-line.
As for the question about the Living Force, again it's about the OP-line. I will allow those certain capabilities. Though, keep in mind, in this era any type of Jedi that preaches a balance of dark and light probably won't be viewed so favorably. It's not too long after the Exar Kun War, after all.
@The Elvenqueen I love your signature pic!!!
That is certainly interesting, @RogerD. But I'm not sure I view it in the same way. The living force is just an aspect of the force, but everyone is connected to it. It is why Leia sensed when Han died. There are some more sensitive to it, and in some texts, Qui-Gon was considered to be a student of it, he was also constantly reminding Obi-Wan of it and to be mindful of it. But it gives no one special abilities or powers. It's not necessarily a path one can take. Your character may be more knowledgeable about it than mine or may be more sensitive to it, but that's what I see.
In terms of fighting styles, they weren't all aggressive. I believe originally, they were based off of kenjutsu? I could be wrong, but at this point, the actual fighting styles are a blend of several types of martial arts, including that of Tai Chi. There are certain moves, certain styles where you'll see a lot of tai chi. Everything is supposed to be fluid. It's all going to depend on your personal preference.
I myself favor Shien and Djem So... I may dip a little into Vaapad. But ultimately, I am the way of the Krayt Dragon *huge silly face stamped here*
Would Vaapd even be avaialble as it was a creation of Winud's?
nice to see you guys are chatting like crazy !
Edit- I don't think I have ever felt like a bigger dork before just now lol It isn't my intention to take the fun out of it for anyone, so I am hugely sorry if I am >.<
