[OOC] Star Wars - Jedi Exile

[Dion]

@Odin If that's how you wanna go, so be it the only part I don't agree with is the how he survives Order 66. If he was with Clones then, they would know and if he was in the temple, it doesn't matter fair shootin'. If you're concerned with your IC SW Knowledge then it may actually be easier to play someone low skilled but reasonably competent. If he's too much of a fool he wouldn't have passed the trials, and if he didn't pass the initiate trials he would have joined one of the various corps of Jedi-Regects. Which is a possible route you could take.

I'm cool with him being inept but I'd rather not Jar Jar levels of inept, which is how reading that comes across. I have faith in that even with your little knowledge you could write a character that could work. If you wanna discuss more/help then feel free to PM me, or I'm sure @Renny would be willing to help.

@Sep

I do also fear that, having him be incompetent, it might limit what I can actually do in terms of interesting things to do IC. I'm a little worried that I'm too unknowing in what it means to be a jedi, but I could try and whip up a more.. normal guy, and have his IC mistakes explained some other way...?

@Odin

I mean if you're going to go a Padawan can always explain it away with their inexperience. Or you could go the route of someone who didn't manage to become a Padawan and ended up in one of the Corps, or a non-Jedi. If you wish I can craft you an NPC Master to play off you for a bit as - as in I would write said master and work with you till you felt a bit more comfortable.

I'm nothing if not accommodating.

[Renny]

@Renny look man, I actually liked the new SW movies (probably because I don't have a lot of nostalgia towards the old movies) and a lot of people told me that means I'm an idiot, so I might as well try and play one in-universe for the ultimate self-insert. It's just how things work.

@Odin

You're not alone. I personally enjoyed the sequel trilogy up until Rise of Skywalker. Kylo Ren is my favorite character overall but eh, I think I'm a minority in that.

And yeah for sure, like Sep said, if need any advice I'm just a PM away bro.

@Sep

It'd be dope to have a master -- but perhaps it'd be better to riff him off of an actual player, so that he can stick around them for a while before breaking away -- it gives more options for the story, imho, but if you intend to have this master stick around too, then that'd work for sure.

Alternatively -- I might still want to keep the whole ''dude fails his way to the top'' thing, but perhaps make him a bit more competent to avoid the act getting stale. How does that sound, to you? So he's much less the Forest Gump of the scenario and more so just not horribly competent at the start -- and, being thrust into the thick of it, has to rapidly ''get better'', which he does?

WIP - Jino Teshlo

Jino Teshlo

Age: 47
Species: Kessurian
Physical Appearance: Jino, like all Kessurians, sports crimson red skin, with long pointed ears and spiked montrals atop her head. Due to her age, wrinkles have begun to form across her face, with the odd flash of grey appearing within her hair. Instead of sporting her traditonal Jedi robes, Jino has recently begun sporting some civilian clothing since escaping the clone attack on Trask.
Lightsaber: The second blade she assembled herself, Jino's lightsaber features an angled windowed emitter, wrapped grip, and a comfortable choke point for spins and flourishes. It has a blue blade.
Jino also has the lightsaber of her former apprentice Pol in her possession. This green bladed weapon is smaller in size than her own.
Skills: Detail any skills your character has that does not involve their use of the Force. Any Lightsaber forms you know go here.
Force Abilities: Detail any Force Abilities that your character has control over, including level of mastery.
Weaknesses: Please detail any weaknesses/flaws that your character has.
Character History: Everything up to Order 66.
Order 66: Please detail how they survived Order 66. Were they nowhere near clones? Did their Captain hesitate just long enough? Did their Master save them? Try and keep it somewhat original, I'd rather not every player had the same response.

Currently a WIP; thought i'd do something slightly different and play a jedi knight who lost their apprentice during 66.

[vietmyke]

I'm also going to put what I have up so far- I probably won't be back until late tonight, at which time I can continue working on it.

Edit: Heh, I see the one above me is named quite similar to my character's name. Maybe I'll change that up too haha

Jhin Fleming

Jhin Fleming

Age: 19
Species: Human
Physical Appearance:
Fairly tall for his age and still growing, Jhin stands around 5'10" and sports a lithe, athletic build. His brown hair is kept short and relatively neat, save for his braid which hangs behind his right ear. Two rather fresh scars stretch across the left side of his face. His gray-blue eyes are sharp and perceptive, and shift constantly.

Lightsaber: A worn, leather wrapped lightsaber hilt, and a shorter, matching shoto hilt. Both have an ice-blue blade.
Skills:

• Jedi Physical Training: An active combatant in the clone wars, a lot of Jhin's growth in regards to his jedi skills have revolved around lightsaber use and combat maneuvers. Jhin is also well trained in lightsaber forms III and VI, and often switches between the two forms as situations dictate.
• Mechanical Skills: Due to the nature of him and his master's work, and who they worked with, Jhin has picked up some of the basics when it comes to working with starships and machines. Mostly he likes to make things go faster.
• Pilot: Not an ace fighter pilot by any stretch of the imagination, but even without assistance from the force, Jhin is a capable pilot.
• Blaster skills: In his spare time, Jhin has practiced taking shots with a blaster. He's a fairly accurate target shooter, but has little experience shooting moving targets, and has never shot a living creature.

Force Abilities:

• Basic Force Abilities: Jhin is skilled in basic object manipulation, pushes and pulls, and can manipulate up to human sized objects without huge amounts of exertion.
• Combat Force Abilities: Jhin leans heavily into forms of the force used for combat- much to his master's chagrin. Empowering of physical abilities, speed, and an impressively competent battle precognition allow him to hold his own a lot better than one would expect from a Padawan his age.

Weaknesses: Please detail any weaknesses/flaws that your character has.
Character History: Everything up to Order 66.
Order 66: Please detail how they survived Order 66. Were they nowhere near clones? Did their Captain hesitate just long enough? Did their Master save them? Try and keep it somewhat original, I'd rather not every player had the same response.

[TheEvanCat]

Alright, I'm working on my intro post... tldr the separatists are *very* confused why the clones are shooting the jedi temple up...

[Dark Cloud]

@Sep I kind of saw this coming:

I was tired last night & the night before trying to research stuff for Kashar, needless to say I wasn't at my peak performance. Kashar applies his focus in Control and Sense to improve his skills with the blade. I'm going to be more detailed with background. Edit will be starting now.

Thanks.

@Blackmist16

@Sep Actually I'm thinking about droping out, I don't think I'm really all that skilled. I am very invested in the character and I just have a bit of writers block and I love this RP.

I'll try to redo the bio of Kashar. Hopefully you will like it. :(

Edit: Trying to do this and 6 other things has left me feeling burnt out and in a very negative head space, leaving me feeling like I don't fit your expectations as a player.

Edit 2: I'm dropping out, I hope this whole thing is very successful but I feel like I'm wasting your time.

Thank you for bearing with me, I'll remove my CS from the OOC shortly.

[Dion]

God the art for Zabrak's suck. I was thinking of playing man-killer over here but she just doesn't really fit the image of a jedi all that well and I'd rather play a male -- who have like, no good art. It's either all sith, or sexy-Zabrak ladies. Curse you, sexy aliens.

[Sep]

@Odin at work so can't read everything above but try searching without jedi in the title. If that fails look for Iridonian. Theyre basically the same visually or ask Rtron he used to play a Zabrak iirc

[Dark Cloud]

Regret this!

@Blackmist16

I think I overreacted there. I have been under a lot of pressure lately. Working on things!

[Sep]

@Odin I intended to stick around as your master until you felt comfortable.

@vietmyke oh my god you actually did it you mad man.

@Blackmist16 take 24 hours to mull it over. If you got a lot going on and you aren't sure I'd rather you knew 100% before committing.

@Sep

I gotchu chief, that sounds pretty great. I'm making a Zabrak padawan, and I found two pieces of art I might use. I just need to decide which. I also decided -- with Renny's blessing -- that our two padawans will be friends, so that way once the master disappears from the picture, I still have someone to lean on. If you'd rather not play a random NPC master, then I'd still have Renny as my crutch.

[NeverEnding]

If you’re still taking people, I’m working on my CS but it probably won’t be done until tomorrow. I appear to be the slow writer of the bunch.

[Natty]

Edit: Heh, I see the one above me is named quite similar to my character's name. Maybe I'll change that up too haha

@vietmyke

Honestly, i'm more than happy to change myself; bar the surname, i'm not set on a name yet

[vietmyke]

@vietmyke oh my god you actually did it you mad man.

@Sep

We the maddest of lads out here.

[DrRtron]

Withdrawn

[Heat]

@Heat The physical description of a 'few centimetres below six feet' annoys me. You can't mix measurement systems like that! Who do you think you are? Other than that

Review

Vader Approves

@Sep

I’ll adjust it and move it to the characters tab.
