Star Wars: The Circle Of Space


"War has ravaged the galaxy for as long as anyone can remember. Empires have risen and fallen, only for the cycle to continue. Never changing, neverending, it is a repeating story told over and over again from one tongue to the other. The galaxy is said to have been formed thirteen billion years before the battle of Yavin, an endless story stretching countless years into what we today call history. The rise of the Jedi, the creation of the Sith and the Mandalorians entrance into creation were all turning points recorded on the scrolls of the past. Perhaps the most known, or rather the most recorded part of history is The Old Republic. Alongside this behemoth we would see the Clone Wars thousands of years later. The great archives of the Jedi and Sith alike, not to mention the infinite amount of libraries on every planet stretching out across the galaxy would all speak of such events. Great bloodlines like that of the Skywalkers and Solo left their mark on the galaxy's timeline, lead to such an incredible end by powerful actors such as the mighty Yoda, the maleficent Darth Sidious and the ever vigilant Obi Wan Kenobi.

A struggle between light and darkness has shaped the galaxy into what we see today, citizens roaming the endless plain of existence never caring to know of the great fissures of the past. Five hundred years ago, the last of these great timelines came to an end, something known as the Legacy Era. It would be a lie to say that we have learned from the mistakes of the past, that war no longer ravages the lives circling the heart of our galaxy. The great Empire has been crushed beneath the weight of righteous fury combined by allied rebels throughout known space, helped by the Jedi who once more would be forced to pick up their blades in an act of war, something that hadn't happened since the Clone Wars.

The new Jedi Order created by Luke Skywalker would yet again dwindle, but not because of an order like that of the massacre which had once taken place during the clone wars, the command known as Order 66. Sith and Jedi clashed swords in epic duels which shook the very foundation of creation, leaving only remnants of what they once were in the aftermath. The mighty Empire was facing an enemy now standing toe to toe in both power and size, much akin to what had a happened before against the separatists.

As is the fate of many saviours, the rebels would attempt to recreate the galaxy in their image, a perfect reality where none would need to fear tyranny or abused power. Ironic then how heroes would don the robes of villains once power fell in their grasp. Jaden Skywalker, the last descendant of the Skywalker bloodline struck the final blow against the empire and in turn laid the foundation for her own. Passion lead to fanaticism, serenity was taken over by forced order and perfection was the new standards of which needed to be upheld. Jaden would proceed to create a new Jedi order she named The Circle. No one quite knows what The Circle is, but they rule everything. She has no interest in creating more Jedi but rather opposes them just like she opposes the Sith. Seeing the Jedi as too weak and the Sith as too psychotic, Jaden has ruled it highly treasonous to identify as either and doing so would lead to either conformation or death.

The Galaxy knows peace...or so everyone is told to believe. Many feel like the Empire was never truly slain, that this is just a shinier, prettier and polished tyrannical power which has risen to control. These beliefs would of course be confirmed by The Circle's iron grip. Their armies stretch far and wide and the galaxy is under their complete control. However, under the radar several lifeforms roam about, and there is talk about a new Rebel Alliance, a new group whom will once more proceed the endless circle of life..."









I want a group of five people with me included. In my experience, a larger group is very hard to navigate.

This is the first role play I've created in a very, very long time. I am rather if not very inexperienced and will make mistakes, but I promise everyone that I will do my best to be a good GM.

If you don't mind, I'm going to start work on a character. I could use a character-driven Star Wars thing.

Go ahead! I am expecting characters from all five spots now, with you on board. I will wait for y'all, but don't take too long xD. I don't usually like it when people reserve spots, but for now, I'll go with it.

---

Edit!

One spot just opened up.

I like him, and in your history I can clearly see that you've spent time reading the OP. If we get a Jedi in the group, I would love to see the interaction these two would have. The Circle is what would be considered the "New Jedi", aka, a corrupt Jedi order using the Light side of the force to a fanatical and oppressing level.

I have two requirements for this character. I like him and I like to have a hardened, battle scarred warrior in the group. However, while I accept that he has all those weapons, he will only be able to walk around with a logical amount of them equipped at once.

Also, with this amount of experience and money he has acquired, I would have to ask you to up his age to his thirties. All the weapons and armour this guy is carrying around could be considered overpowered, but I trust that you use it responsibly.

I will notify you if we see things get out of hand.

Change his age, and then you can post him in the character section with what I have said in mind.

On the topic of "carrying too much shit around", it won't be a problem. Being a no-fun-allowed asshat, realism is important to me. As for 'overpowered', I think I might disagree, in that a decade of talented and largely successful mercenary work seems like it would be sufficient for what is on offer, and what is there strikes me as what someone both paranoid and creative would want to hand if they're going to fight a Super Space Wizard, but I am not adverse to trimming it down and increasing the age. Weaponry is really not that expensive, and him living on the minimum necessary to push his shekels into a suit of armor and the very common cyber-augmentation of the star wars universe made sense to me, logistically speaking.

I'll make the edits right away.

Cool, go ahead and post him in the Character section. We're three now. Two more and we're ready. One of those two spots is reserved for a character connected to both mine and Subject Zero. Hopefully I will have an IC reply up tomorrow since it's night time here.

I added that trained force users (including beginners) are able to use basic telekinesis as a force power automatically, excluding the other two. The reason behind this is that Telekinesis is essentially the very first thing you learn if you know how to use the force. If you are not trained in the force and in case of my character, cannot conjure it actively, two force powers are what you get.

Also, I added in the rules that if the RP doesn't progress (aka a lack of posts) in a few days, I will progress it.

Since I invited you before, you're welcome ^^

You can play whoever you wish. Just remember that force users are hunted to be either killed or brainwashed. And remember that this is a High - Casual RP so the standards are a bit higher ^^

Also, I am not going to wait for reserved spots much longer. I am willing to stretch the amount of characters to six, but if good character sheets roll in that I accept, the spots will be filled.

Also everyone, remember that first come first serve is not a thing. If your char sheet is up to par, I'll accept you.
