[OOC] Star Wars - Jedi Exile

[TJByrum]

I would be interested in joining this. But I am also looking at A Grim Hope, so I am not entirely sure yet.

However, if anyone would like to fill me in on what's been going on in this roleplay, that would be appreciated. I'm not 100% sure if I want to be some sort of bounty hunter helping hunt down the Jedi, or if I want to be a rogue Jedi who is helping the exiles.

I'm not taking hunters to hunt the Jedi quite yet. We're still currently in the Jedi Temple trying to escape so there won't exactly be any rouge Jedi yet. The Christmas break and recent crashes of the guild means we're still working to group up as well so new Jedi Entrys are still welcome however once we leave the temple thats the cut off point for Jedi. Once we leave Coruscant, I'll start looking into letting hunters join to hunt down the exiles.

What is the possibility of including a Gray Jedi then?

There were greyer Jedi, especially thanks to the event that was the Clone Wars.

Even before there were some who played it a lot looser with the Jedi Code e.g. Qui Gon.

So yes, as long as you don't completely ignore every aspect of being a Jedi :P

I like to play as characters who at least share a little bit of my own perspective on things. I've never really agreed on some of the ideals of the Jedi Order from a real-life perspective, and was more in agreement with people like Jinn and even Skywalker. I wouldn't outright turn on them and slaughter the younglings like Anakin did.

Therefore, my Jedi would have been in the Order but once he became a Knight he 'resigned' from it because he couldn't bring himself to fight for something he did not agree with, nor could the Jedi Order allow someone in their ranks who would not abide by their code. Thus, he becomes a Gray Jedi - someone who walks the line between both sides of the Force. I suppose the Republic/Empire would be hunting down any Jedi who posed a threat, yes? My Gray Jedi would be in the records at the Jedi Temple, and I am sure Palpatine would send someone to find him.

Also, I have questions in A Grim Hope if you're interested in answering those.

Being outside of the Jedi Order doesn't really help. We are literally at the raid of the Jedi Temple lead by Anakin and the 501st. Also quite a few Jedi didn't believe fully in the code but parts of it they accepted. Not to mention there were very few members of the Order that ever walked away. I mean its kinda like turning your back on a family that has never abused you, hurt you and has always looked after and nurtured you. It doesn't make sense.

The grey Jedi were kinda a more active offshoot. Like Qui-Gon and later Anakin they were on the border as they let their feelings influence some decisions and felt that the nansy pants skirting around the problem method of the Jedi wasn't really effective. They believed in the ideals, just not the method. They were slapped on the wrist but they were never outright extradited.

Consider me as Jinn or Anakin then. I suppose I could work with that, but I'll need to check out the most recent posts on the IC first before making my character.

[Lord Wyron]

I know my character Alecar disagrees with a few notions of the Jedi Order, specifically the restrictions against romance/marriage, suppressing emotions, and the belief that he Light Side of the Force is the only side that should be studied. Despite this he keeps to the rest of the Order's doctrines, and doesn't speak out against their opinions that he disagrees with.

[TJByrum]

Is it okay if my Jedi is coming back to the Temple after a mission, only to find it being attacked, thus joining the Exiles?

The exiles aren't out the temple yet. IT would be hard for you to get into the Temple and he/she would need a reason for not simply turning tail and getting out of there. Not to mention your ship would also be attacked.

But they'll need to escape the Temple somehow, correct? However they're going to do it, I would like to meet them halfway. Now the only reason for this is because I don't want my Jedi to suddenly pop in on all the action when I have been largely absent from the previous 41 posts. I'm just trying to find a way for the continuity to work out correctly.

I was going to figure my starfighter was making its way to Coruscant after a mission, only to find the Jedi Temple being burned. I start to head for some Clone Troopers only to be shot down by them. Crash-land somewhere on the Temple, join up with the Exiles, and flee with them.

If you have other suggestions on how I should join in, that would be appreciated.

Under construction:: Vor Dane: Male: Human: 29: : Jedi Knight:(Either an Image and/or a description. Keep the anime stuff to a minimum if possible.)http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo105/Jackk_15/GFX/Robes2.png: Vor is headstrong, determined, and relentless. His aggressive way of acting can be described as "fight now, talk later". He typically relies on instinct and impulse. He sees most everything in a black and white morality: you're either with him, or you're against him - there is no 'in-between'. However, those who can actually count Vor as an ally can expect massive amounts of loyalty from him, as he believes loyalty is the best trait a person can have, and will use his strengths to protect his friends to the death.: Vor's preference to react to most situations with a relentless, often aggressive way causes him to rush headlong into danger. He does not bother trying to determine an opponent's strengths or weaknesses, he simply rushes into the fray with the goal of victory. The more he fights, the more he ignores his defense, the more he loses focus on his surroundings, and the more danger he puts himself in.: Like most Jedi, Vor knows Form I. However, Vor quickly adopted Form V, which favored aggressiveness and domination - greatly suiting Vor's personality. His primary training in Form V was Shien (strong vs blasters), but his Master insisted he also focus on Djem So when possible. When Vor is using Shien, he is commonly seen utilized a reverse grip. If Vor becomes frustrated he resorts to using his personal blaster to finish off his opponents or gain an upper-hand.: Vor wields a blue-hued lightsaber with a standard hilt, a personal blaster, a personal Holocron, and a wrist communicator.: Telekinesis, speed augmentation, Force push, Force pull,:During the Clone Wars Vor Dane was mostly associated with the Outer Rim campaigns, where his contacts would provide him with useful intelligence. Vor was known to be an aggressive general, never hesitating to rush into battle and push the enemy back as quickly as possible or decimate them entirely. Vor's tactics, however, inflicted high casualties on his Clone Troopers. During the waning years of the war the Republic fixed this by stationing Vor on more defensive priorities, such as overseeing outposts.: Vor Dane is fluent in many languages used throughout the Outer Rim.

I'll wait till you're finished. Crashing into the temple I suppose is all right you just gotta find a reason why you don't get splattered over a wall.

Plenty of individuals throughout the Star Wars Universe made crash landings and survived, specifically Anakin Skywalker.

Also, may revise my bio later. I had two different ideas and they tried to form simultaneously in the bio, so I decided to keep the ideas split up; I';ll save the other ideas for another Jedi.

I know they did, but you're gonna go from outside to inside in your squishy fighter :P

Aim for the windows!

Anyway, just tell me when you're done. We'll see what happens.

I'm seeking a suggestion for a homeworld that was in the Outer Rim ripe with criminal connections, as if it was controlled by the Hutts or something.

Working on the revised bio as we speak.

Tattooine, Ryloth, Nal hutta and a couple of worlds that don't come to mind right now.

[TJByrum]

Here is my revised bio. I'm sorry for choosing Mos Eisley, Tattoine, but I wasn't sure what other planet to choose.

Name: Vor Dane
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Age: 26
Homeworld: Mos Eisley, Tattoine
Rank: Jedi Knight

Appearance: Vor Dane is a white human male with dark blue eyes, a brown stubble, shaved brown hair, and a scar that follows the contour of his right eye. (Picture soon, perhaps). Vor Dane also wears traditional Jedi robes in black[/img].

Personality: Vor is observant, calculative, and reserved. He is loyal to his allies, specifically the other Jedi, but has been known to be manipulative and seems to hold back secrets even from the Jedi Council. There's no real reason to distrust Vor, but his affinity to work alongside criminal organizations is something to be cautionary about.
Flaws: Vor's tendency to work outside of the law often leads to distrust amongst those who decide to work within it, so while Vor counts the other Jedi amongst his allies he is not particularly fond of their company and suffers from trust issues with them. He's also more use to dealing with covert operations or fighting small amounts of enemies, so he's not particularly useful against large numbers of enemies. He's also more suited to defending blasters - NOT other lightsabers, and would make a poor duelist.

Skills: Like most Jedi, Vor knows Form I. However, Vor quickly adopted Form V: Shien, which focuses on defending blasters. This suited Vor since he was more accustomed to facing opponents using blaster weapons throughout the Outer Rim. While using Shien, he is known to utilize the reverse-grip more.
Equipment: Vor wields a blue-hued lightsaber with a standard hilt, a personal blaster, a personal Holocron, and a wrist communicator.
Force Abilities: Telekinesis, speed augmentation, Force stealth, Force cloak, Force listening, Force sense, Force sight, Mind tricks

Personal History: Vor Dane was born on the planet of Tattooine. His parents were low-class humans who struggled to make a living on the desert planet. The two were eventually approached by a Jedi Master who offered to train him in the ways of the Force; they were initially reluctant, but decided it was better than let him suffer as they had. Vor Dane was very young when he was taken and barely remembers his parents. He spent his childhood at the Jedi Temple, and was known for his excursions to the library to study the criminal underworld.

Vor had problems accepting the Jedi Code, but was able to compensate and agreed to abide by its law. After passing his trials he was assigned to be the Padawan of Jedi Master Quian Lune. Master Lune was known for his operations against the criminal underworld throughout the galaxy, dealing with smugglers, pirates, slavers, drug dealers, and assassins; Vor's knowledge of the underworld, acquired at the Jedi library, was expanded during his time with Master Lune.

Vor took up his Master's form: Shien, which focused on the deflection of blaster bolts. Lune insisted he also focus on Djem So and break the habit of using a reverse grip,, but Vor ignored his lectures and never quite evolved his fighting style. Soon after Vor became a Jedi Knight, Lune was assassinated by a bounty hunter. Vor was angry and wanted only vengeance, but he knew this was not the Jedi way. He retreated into the Outer Rim, distancing himself from the Jedi Council for a time.

His exposure to the underworld led him to work alongside them throughout the Outer Rim: working as a 'mercenary' and taking down small gangs. Only a few of his associates actually knew he was a Jedi, while others believed him to be some sort of mercenary or bounty hunter. It was a fight at a cantina where he received his scar. During the Clone Wars the Jedi Council decided it best to keep Vor in the Outer Rim and report any Separatist activity, which eh willingly obeyed to. Vor felt 'at home' within the Outer Rim, working alongside his criminal contacts. This limited his exposure to Clone Troopers.

In the waning years of the Clone Wars Vor was recalled back to Coruscant under direct orders of the Council. He makes his way there now in his own personal starfighter, but he is about to fly into a deadly trap...
Additional Info: Vor Dane is known throughout the criminal underworld of the galaxy, most specifically the Outer Rim. Some criminal organizations value him as a powerful ally, but more than a few of them see him as a threat to their organization. He can sometimes expect hospitality throughout the Outer Rim, while other times he will be met with harsh hostility.

No to Telepathy.

Thats the only reservation I have.

[TJByrum]

Removed telepathy. Hows'about'it?
