[Dark Cloud]

@Heat Okay.

<Snipped quote by Blackmist16>

The trick is to not go super in depth, I just wrote a dude with a basic background of Star Wars. I've only seen the movies and googled for some of the lore stuff that weren't in them. Often you can just explore the details later, with just a baseline up front.

@TheEvanCat

Yeah but humans are super easy to make I have an idea in mind but the most important part is his upbringing, his training as a padawan and experience as a Jedi the thing is now I'm figuring his appearance then bio. But the hardest part will be Force Abilites because specifically there is many applications to it besides the basic three.

Scratch that we're using canon right now so looking at legends was a waste of time.

[Zarkun]

Alright, Sep. I'll nibble a little here. What are you looking for in a CS this time round?

[Sep]

Alright, Sep. I'll nibble a little here. What are you looking for in a CS this time round?

@Zarkun

Same thing as always. You to try and take over the world.

@Sep How rare are yellow lightsaber crystals? I'm trying to recall.

@Blackmist16

It varies really. In canon its all down to the connection between a person and the crystal and that persons personalty.

[Dark Cloud]

@Sep Thank you and I was wondering about the techniques I put down. Jung, Shun and Sai are from Legends yet they are such simple lightsaber techniques I thought I should ask you if that is alright. Its not like I'm saying Koshar can duplicate Falling Lotus.

Oh and do racial abilities (because some do) does that apply as a skill?

[Sep]

@TheEvanCat two minor issues with your sheet.

The first is the Techno Union "remained neutral" or atleast publicly retained their neutrality and denounced Wat Tambor as a traitor, much like how the Trade Federation treated Nute Gunray. Why? The simple answer is money. They continued to produce goods for both sides.

The second is we're just after Order 66, so Palpatine hasn't quite declared his new order yet.

@Blackmist16

Answered the first via pm. The second is if you want to put them in you can put them under skills, create a new tab or put it under the species tab.

[Dark Cloud]

@Sep Okay thanks and I didn't think you would answer the pm so I deleted it so I never saw your answer.

[Mao Mao]

Would it be alright if I made my character a trainee of the Jedi Temple Guard?

[Sep]

Would it be alright if I made my character a trainee of the Jedi Temple Guard?

@Mao Mao

Sure, if its the Coruscant temple there was someone else here who indicated they may start there. Just know if you're starting as a survivor from Operation zknightfall you'll be under heavier scrutiny. Surviving that was no small feat.

[Dark Cloud]

That would be me as well as because my character will be a Jedi Sentinel or something of the like.

[DarkStormAU]

Question who is planning to be escaping the Jedi Temple? Just asking.

@Blackmist16

I was considering making my character some kind of apprentice working at the Temple, possibly sent out to fetch some sort of supplies by my master so was out of the Temple when everything hit the fan. Thought about potentially stowing away on a ship to get off world, but not sure how far ahead I should be planning

[Zarkun]

Just the usual eh? *is off to see what I've got stored*

[Zarkun]

Alrighty, I'mma drop the two I've got in my back log of OCs and you tell me which you'd prefer @Sep.

Jedi Master Riven Je'and

Riven Je’and

Age: 36
Species: Human
Initiate Trials: Having trained in the Dantooine Enclave as other members of her family had for generations, her trials consisted first of her knowledge of the Jedi Code by applying it in a series of situations that might call for its tenants. Her second test was a mock duel against a fellow initiate, his single blade against her double-bladed. Her final trial was to experience the Dark Side itself, aiding a fellow initiate who’d lost herself in her anger find her way back to the light. All these trials were passed with flying colors.
Physical Appearance: When catching the light just right, and she hasn’t died her hair some other color, the dark brown looks almost golden in color. Currently, however, the eccentric master has dyed it purple.
Lightsaber:Uses a double-bladed lightsaber with an orange blade.
Skills: Trained in Shii-Cho, Shien/Djem So, and Ataru, she chose to specialize and nearly master forms IV and V, with a focus on Djem So as the possibility of dueling one of the Separatists lightsaber weilding leaders increased over the course of the war. She’s also a decent shot with a blaster, as sometimes charging the enemy line, lightsaber drawn just isn’t practical.
Force Abilities: Along with a mastery of both pull and push, Riven has extensive mastery of many crowd control abilities, though the ability to lock even one opponent in a stasis field is difficult to master. Her most mastered ability, however, is a power known as Force Flame.
Weaknesses: Confidence, focus, and strength are the attributes that Riven seems to exude, however, below this is a struggle with crippling depression and a certain level of social anxiety, though she’s learned how to deal with both to some degree. Being a Jedi, after all, doesn’t mean you’re perfect.
Character History: Riven Je’and was born on the planet Dantooine to Terrance and Seraphine Je'and, both of whom were members of the planetary militia. By age four, however, she had been taken by the Jedi to Coruscant to train as an Initiate under Master Sinon. She had a natural affinity for it, however and picked up some tricks faster than others.

She trained tirelessly under Jedi Master Sinon’s tutelage under the other initiates and when the time came to build their sabers, she embraced the guidance of the Force and followed it. Upon the completion of her double-bladed lightsaber, and some follow up lessons, she took and passed the Initiate Trials alongside the other thirty initiates, but of those thirty, only 10 became Padawans, including Riven herself. From there, she traveled across the galaxy while training under a Nautolan Jedi Master named Runaan. He was as skilled as he was patient and she learned well under his tutelage, even beginning to find new ways to use her lightsaber to fight a variety of foes and fend off a number of creatures without having to overexert herself.

However, one thing that bothered her master was the hilt’s design. “It looks like something the ancient Sith would wield, combined with that of a Jedi’s weapon. Why would you build it to look like that?” Explaining that ignoring that the Sith were the balance to the Jedi and that she believed in maintaining balance when possible amazed the Nautolan, but he respected her wish to honor the entirety of the Force, as she did not have any desire to tamper with the Dark Side, merely acknowledge it.

In her twenty-fifth year, she was knighted after passing her Knight Trials and five years later, after brokering peace between two long time warring tribes on a planet on the edge of Wild Space, which the Jedi had been trying to broker peace on for six generations, she was granted the rank of master. She had trained only one Padawan before the outbreak of the Clone Wars three years later, a Mon Calamari named Troc Ruhde, who lead the 103rd Clone Infantry Division. Master Riven herself lead the 302nd Clone Assault Division, who was responsible for victories on less well known worlds of great strategic value. However, extended battle over the world of Manaan and on the surface required that the 302nd return to Coruscant for reinforcement and resupply. During this time, Riven went to the temple to rest up and meditate in relative peace until they were ready to move out again.

Allira

“Not all hope is lost, but the teachings of old are no longer enough.”

Name:Allira Korsan

Species: Mirialan

Age: 28

Appearance: Allira stands at five feet seven inches tall, but has a presence that demands your attention, though she isn’t hard on the eyes either. Her hair is white and is cut a few inches shorter than shoulder length with emerald green eyes.

Equipment:

Crossguard Saber

Allira had always found the design of several of the saber designs within the Jedi Archives fascinating, but those that fed into her love of dueling were the most interesting. While many Jedi considered a saber that functioned for both anti-blaster and anti-saber archaic, as the Sith were wiped out and Dark Jedi detained, but the Mirialian had never been one to take history at face value. The hilt is made of Phrik for lightsaber to lightsaber combat and the blade is a teal color, with a special modification to make it seem as if the main blade is pulsing.

Wrist Mounted Comlink- As was common for Jedi generals to use during the Clone Wars, Allira has a com unit on her wrist, which also serves as a makeshift SOS buoy if needed.

Skills:
Linguist-During her time as a Jedi and over the course of her time as a General in the Grand Army of the Republic, Allira picked up many different languages, and while she can only speak a handful fluently, she can understand many of them quite well.

Duelist-While the art of lightsaber vs lightsaber combat is considered archaic and outdated, Allira still took the time to master lightsaber dueling and combat to a high degree, especially Form II, Makashi and Form V, Shien/Djem So as well as Form VII, Juyo. This makes her a versatile duelist and a deadly combatant.

Combat Medic-Despite her specialty as a duelist, Allira is also a decent healer, knowing more about how to work medical equipment than expected as well as knowing a couple of Force abilities that heal as well.

Abilities:
Telekinesis: Push, pull, Wave, Jump, name it, she can do it with a decent amount of skill, befitting a Knight of her role.

Force Heal- Due to her knowledge of medical equipment, she decided to learn Force Heal, as a way of pretreating anyone who was injured before a proper medic reached them or she could get them to a medical bay.

Force Stasis-A power that paralyzes the body of the target, leaving them conscious, but unable to move or speak. Non-lethal and good for keeping troublesome wildlife away.

Mind Trick-While not effective against droids, it was effective against the few organic crew members onboard Separatist ships. Knows other variations as well.

Force Speed-Uses the Force to give herself a temporary but powerful increase in sprint and reaction speeds. Lasts about ten seconds.

Weaknesses:
Overprotective- Because of the loss of so many close friends, and her first Padawan, over the course of the Clone Wars, Allira has a hard time not making sure that all of the crew members of the ship are accounted for and in good health. Should a foe find out about this overprotection, she could be lured into any number of traps.

Mild PTSD- Despite having seen almost two and a half years of combat at the head of a Clone Legion, Allira still has flashbacks that will leave her a mess afterwards, making functioning on a normal level difficult for a few hours.

Duelist- While one of her greatest strengths, it’s also one of her greatest weaknesses. She’s shown little inclination of learning how to use a blaster and her ranged defense is weaker than her melee.

History:

Allira Korsan was born on her people’s home planet, Mirial. From a young age, she was raised with a strong sense of spiritual connection and knew more about the Force by the age of twelve than most Jedi younglings would come to know in their entire stay in the Jedi Temple and Enclaves. At fourteen, she was sent, at her own request to a teacher at a youth academy, to the Jedi, where she was tested and made a Padawan. Her time under her mentor and teacher, Jedi Master Jacen Kortell, another Mirialan, was just shy of four years, after which she joined the Order as a proper Knight after completion of her Jedi Trials.

It was seven years later, ten after the Trade Federation’s invasion of Naboo, that the Clone Wars were sparked. Even at the start of the war and before, the young girl showed an interest and mastery in lightsaber dueling that hadn’t been seen by many others in the Order since the Sith were still a serious threat nearly one thousand years before. In fact, when she had built her saber, she had built a crossguard saber, a design that, while not as elegant as the former Master Dooku’s curved saber was, was still effective for dueling and prevented many of the disarming techniques favored by other duelists. However, she was also a vocal advocate of teaching more dueling techniques far and wide, as she was far from convince that just because the archives said the Sith were gone, did not mean it was true.

And so it was that she spent much time in debate with many of the Order's masters when she wasn't in the process of perfecting her form and teaching the younglings who were interested in her classes. It was something of a point of contention, and so it was little surprise that she was chosen as general for a Clone legion when the Wars began.

When the Clone legions were introduced and generals chosen for each one, Allira was placed in command of the 172nd Infantry Brigade, alongside her Padawan, Jerna Harna, yet another Mirialan, and her Clone Commander, CC-2837, or “Breaker”. They saw over six major planetside battles during her time as general of the 172nd and numerous skirmishes and space battles, but the one that broke her was on the planet Arsama. Despite heavy losses to the 172nd and it’s mechanized support, the 83rd Mechanized Unit, the battle was turning into a victory. Reaching a crossroads, she split their forces between herself and Jerna, who was nearing ready for her Trials to become a Knight, while having Breaker go back to check on the wounded.

It was routine enough, regular check ins at five minute intervals so that if something were going wrong, they would know. And then it fell apart. The two groups came under attack from Commando Droids and Droideka squads, a number of clones falling before their respective Jedi could rally them and take to the front. As always, Allira was in the midst of them, her saber cleaving through the Droids that got in her way as she cut a path towards her padawan. She could hear the panic in her voice as she’d called return fire before the coms had cut, and it had caused a panic in Allira for the safety of her charge.

When she arrived, the sight was far from pleasant. The surviving clones were still gathering up the dead and wounded, many of the dead having been cut up by the commando droids's vibroblades, but she could find no sign of her padawan learner. She moved around until she found a group of commando droids slumped on top of something and, after moving them aside with the Force, fell to her knees in heartbreak. It had taken three droids, two from behind and one from the front, to defeat her student, their vibroblades impaling her through her chest and midsection, but they had been rendered into little else but scrap for their efforts. Allira had always, in the minds of her Masters, treaded dangerously close to the Darkside as she refused to keep the tight reign on her emotions most Jedi did. In this moment, there was evidence of why it was considered dangerous as she rose to her feet and strode towards the last of the Separatist forces, which had holed up in an old but sturdy mansion. Potshots were taken, but none hit, her lightsaber deflecting the bolts deftly back into the windows from whence they came, though she never knew if she’d actually hit their owners. She focused all her power on the structure before bringing it down, but she didn’t stop after it collapsed. She kept using the Force to shove it down, along with all the droids and a few Separatis supporters that had been inside it. After several seconds, she released, leaving nothing more than a crater, though it was small.

Afterwards, and after apologizing to Breaker, she resigned from her position of General for the 172nd and joined Master Azure on his exploration vessel, where she hoped to gain a sense of peace before returning to the battlefield. That never happened though, a few months into their voyage, she, as did every Jedi aboard the ship, felt the deaths of thousands of Jedi, and after deliberation, and a message recalling all Jedi to the temple being received, set course for Coruscant. Upon reaching the outer reaches of the Outer Rim, Master Kenobi’s message was received, and the ship now holds position in space, a new direction yet to be chosen as this betrayal from within has rocked the crew.

Allira feels that taking the fight to this new Empire is the best course, as the loss of her Padawan and all the other Jedi has left her wanting little more than justice for the fallen. And she has the dueling skills to do it.

@Sep

Huh, I just picked them because they're like the only shmucks from episode 2 that I remember with that goofy green dude. Wasn't there a whole battlefront mission where you had to blow up their transport ships too? Either way, even if they're pretend "neutral" I guess Terry would still be hanging out at Geonosis because the mission wouldn't have changed.

I pretty much only know them and the Trade Federation because they were those racist Asian stereotype aliens from episode 1 lol.

As for the second one, yeah, that's kind of just a primer for the situation, so it's not necessarily strictly linear if that makes sense. I think at least in the movie Palpatine did his thing within a few hours or whatever, right? Same night or so.

@TheEvanCat

Yeah its much regarded as happening the same night. I was just checking some points with you, feel free to post it in the Cs tab.

@Zarkun will read your sheets, and any others posted in the mean time, after work.

[Crusader Lord]

@Sep *question was buried in all the other OOC posts* (lol)

@Sep *question was buried in all the other OOC posts* (lol)

@Crusader Lord

Speaking as someone who's RP'd with Sep fairly extensively, he's pretty good about seeing the concept worked out before passing judgement.

[Heat]

I'm thinking a Jedi investigator whose undercover investigating an illegal trafficking ring. The fact he's deep undercover would mean clones weren't around him when the order came in.

[Crusader Lord]

@Zarkun Gotcha! Been so used to GMs that would, ah, usually prefer to hear the concept before attempting to work it out in an app. Or at least that's been my own history I mean. XD
