[OOC] Star Wars - Knights of the Last Republic

[Sep]

At this time I am only accepting Jedi Characters.


"For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire."

A serene night at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Many still wondering how the forces of the Separatist Fleet managed to arrive at the planet in such force and mount an invasion. The halls of the Temple seem empty, so many Jedi lost in the few short years that the Clone Wars had been raging across the Galaxy. Still, many Jedi seem to be unable to shake the feeling that something is wrong. The Force seems chaotic as if it doesn't seem to understand what is going on.

AS time marches on a tear rips through the Force as several Jedi Masters from the Council are slain by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The Jedi do not yet know this but many sense it, confusion ripples through the temple. A mere hour later many look out their windows in confusion as LAATs can be seen surrounding the temple. A moment of relief as the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker is seen scaling the steps to the temple, flanked with the forces of the 501st.

Welcome, all! To this Roleplay Bonanza. In this Roleplay, we will be playing Jedi Knights as they attempt to flee the confines of their once safe Jedi Temple from the Clone Troopers of the Galactic Republic under the control of Anakin Skywalker, now Darth Vader. Once we have escaped we'll flee into the Galaxy, what happens next? Well, that's up to you guys. From my standpoint as GM the quest I have set up is one of survival, and wherever that journey leads I will have plans and I will have schemes to help/hinder us in a fun but entertaining way.

Disclaimer: Characters can and quite possibly will die. If you as a player get yourself into a fatal situation I will give you two chances to get out of it, if you make potentially silly decisions during this time your character will die. I will notify you if you get into these situations.

Rules: Standard Guild Rules, I really don't feel like I need to mention any others.

@Sep So is being a Sentinel/Temple Guard a suitable enough excuse?

[Vrex Camek]

Age
21
Species
Devaronian
Initiate Trials
Vrex's Initiate Trials were conducted at the Temple of Eedit on his homeworld of Devaron. It was overseen by the temple's caretaker, Jedi Master Halsey. It consisted of a mental test, combining meditation with verbal answers to questions design to test the initiate's knowledge of the Code. After this was a physical test of saber skills, first against remotes, and then in sparring matches against other initiates taking the trial. Vrex managed to pass in the end, having been one of only six who had passed among the twenty or so who took the trial.
Lightsaber

The saber's color, when ignited, is a bright golden yellow. The color traditionally used by Sentinels and Temple Guards.
Skills
Vrex trained in Forms I, III, and V of Lightsaber combat. Form I because it is considered the most basic and fundamental of Lightsaber combat forms, and Forms III and V because their emphasis on defense and counterattacks made them suitable for a Jedi perusing the path of Sentinel. Having grown up on a jungle planet has given Vrex a natural talent for scouting and surviving in the wilderness, and an interesting talent for traversing narrow treetop paths by way of parkour and occasional use of the Force.
Force Abilities
The basic Force Push and Force Pull were among the first powers that Vrex became notably skilled with, particularly when utilizing them in Lightsaber duels or combat. Vrex has also shown a capacity for Force Lightning and even Force Grip on occasion, though he has not tried to master either power, both being seen by most as Sith powers rather than jedi powers.
Weaknesses
Vrex can be overly hard on himself. He takes his duty as a fledgling Sentinel very seriously, and seems to fear failure more than anything else. This has caused him to lash out with the aforementioned powers of Lightning and Force Grip, usually out of desperation if he perceives himself to be in a losing battle.
Character History
Like many of his species, Vrex grew up never really knowing his father. Of course, he was never given a chance to know much of his family at all after being taken by the Jedi, but few of his species ever grow up knowing their fathers very well. Vrex learned early on that his father was a small time crime lord, running some kind of smuggling ring out one of the outer rim territories, but nothing else beyond that. Vrex's childhood was spent in the Temple of Eedit, where he trained alongside a selection of 20 total younglings under the care of Master Halsey. Eventually they were given the Initiate Trials and Vrex was among the six who passed and became full fledged Padawans.

Vrex didn't stay on Devaron for much longer after this. He was assigned to a Master, a Correlian named Jeris Tharn. He traveled alongside Master Tharn for a time in order to train under him, even serving alongside him when the Clone Wars had started. One such excursion resulted in Vrex being trapped behind enemy lines after faulty communication lines prevented his next set of commands from reaching him. Surrounded by battle droids and uncertain that he could fight his way out, Vrex's emotions got the better of him and he lashed out, using Force Lightning for the first time to take out the droids in nearly one fell swoop. When he reported to his Master, Tharn was glad Vrex made it out alive but also warned him not to rely on that power, saying that it could lead to the Dark Side. After this, Vrex decided he wanted to walk the path of a Jedi Sentinel, and devote his training to defending the very Temple he grew up in on Devaron, perhaps out of some form of penance for dipping his toe into the Dark Side, however brief it was. And so, when the time came, Master Tharn recommended Vrex's readiness for the Trials to the Council. By this time, the Clone Wars had been in full swing, and so the Council could not afford the luxury of testing Vrex the traditional way. Instead they looked at Vrex's record serving in the War and decided his actions through out were enough to convey to him the rank of Knight. Vrex was knighted and as he had hoped was assigned to guard the Temple of Eedit.

Vrex didn't spend all his time at the Eedit Temple, however. The nature of the Clone Wars often required him to occasionally relocate to other Temples in danger of attack from the Separatists. But while away news reached Vrex of an attack on the Eedit Temple. A rogue Force User named Savage Opress successfully attacked the Eedit Temple and allowed it to become occupied by the Separatist Forces. Master Halsey and Knox, two Jedi whom Vrex had known quite well, fought back but were ultimately killed by Opress. Vrex couldn't help but blame himself, convinced that had he been there he could have done something to help, and that Halsey and Knox would still be alive.

New orders soon came to Vrex, however. After a recent battle that took place just over Coruscant, the Council had decided it would be best bolster the security of their main Temple in Capital City. And so Vrex once again relocated, this time to the Temple on Coruscant. He vowed to himself to not allow any Temple under his protection to suffer the same fate as his home temple had.

Trycond Lonesh

[Trycond Lonesh]

Age:
26
Species:
Human (Corellian)
Initiate Trials:

Physical Appearance:

Lightsaber:


Blue Double bladed lightsaber that is able to fold in the middle of the hilt

Skills:
Ever since Trycond was a small youngling he has always had a natural affinity for lightsaber combat. Being able to grasp the basic forms and movements at a much faster rate allowed him to dedicate more time to the more complex forms he prefers now. As he continued his training however he discovered that the form most fitting and complementary to his views of fighting was Form IV. however, as time has passed Trycond has found himself slowly and secretly learning the arts of Form VII.

Outside of his lightsaber skills, Trycond is also a great leader and general wheater it is from a capital ship or fighting alongside his clones on the front lines.

Force Abilities:

@Double I'll review in the morning, wasn't supposed to work today so I'm a tad tired.

[Sep]

@Double I like it, just since Force Lightning is so often devoted to negative emotions and whatnot I'd like a little more detail on how he came to using this ability/trained in it.

[DClassified]

Still looking chief?

[Sep]

@DClassified Indeed. I'm holding off on my sheet till a couple of people are accepted so that I don't take a slot a player may have taken.

[Double]

@Double I like it, just since Force Lightning is so often devoted to negative emotions and whatnot I'd like a little more detail on how he came to using this ability/trained in it.

@Sep

I added the detail you asked about. Here's the excerpt so you don't have to reread the whole thing.

He traveled alongside Master Tharn for a time in order to train under him, even serving alongside him when the Clone Wars had started. One such excursion resulted in Vrex being trapped behind enemy lines after faulty communication lines prevented his next set of commands from reaching him. Surrounded by battle droids and uncertain that he could fight his way, Vrex's emotions got the better of him and he lashed out, using Force Lightning for the first time to take out the droids in nearly one fell swoop. When he reported to his Master, Tharn was glad Vrex made it out alive but also warned him not to rely on that power, saying that it could lead to the Dark Side. After this, Vrex decided he wanted to walk the path of a Jedi Sentinel, and devote his training to defending the very Temple he grew up in on Devaron, perhaps out of some form of penance for dipping his toe into the Dark Side, however brief it was.

[DClassified]

Hm. Anyone claim positions yet?

I'm thinking about coming with either a padawan close to being knighted, or a freshly knighted Jedi. You got a preference?

[Sep]

@DClassified There's one interested in a Padawan slot, two knights competing which means it's the most sought after slot. You can compete for a Knight slot, the Master Slot is free and Padawans.

@Double It's looking good, I'm going to wait for 24hrs since the Knight slot is the most popular before I just go and accept it. If you want to do any edits in that time feel free to do so just give me a heads up.

[DClassified]

I feel it. I won't compete for it when there's plenty of space.

I'd be willing to make a master/padawan for a possible Master/Padawan combo if anyone's interested in that.

[Dusty]

I was thinking about fashioning a young Padawan character @DClassified, were you wanting to play the Master or the Learner?

[DClassified]

@Dusty I feel like I'm more invested in the pathway of a learner, but we could throw ideas back and forth as I'm interested in how it'd work out either way.

[ReusableSword]

this looks fun too bad about the non Jedi roles, I was thinking about the clone commandos that refused order 66 and helped the Jedi escape before i saw that part. but, I suppose I can go with a padawan if able.

[Sep]

@ReusableSword yeah you're able.

In terms of non-jedi there weren't commandos present Knightfall and a lot of clones struggled with their programming to not go through with Order 66, it was more common for them to struggle if they encountered a Jedi after the order had first been given which is why I'm not really down for anyone going that route yet.
