[OOC] Star Wars: Dark Secrets of the Empire

[GingerBoi123]

@VitaVitaARSweet! Don't suppose I could be another Jedi, hehe xD

[VitaVitaAR]

@GingerBoi123: There's one more Jedi slot left. That's it. I'm not sure if anyone else is interested but keep that in mind.

[Rin]

Oh right, um, mentioned to Vita in private that I was working on a dark jedi kind of character. Not sure if that counts towards the jedi count though. ^^;

[GingerBoi123]

@Rinif it does, don't worry about it! I've got a merc/bounty hunter kinda guy in mind anyway, for a back-up

[VitaVitaAR]

To clarify, dark jedi(because it's probably obvious who the "Dark Acolytes" are) are their own character count.

[GingerBoi123]

Okey dokey then, I'ma go make a Jedi then

[VitaVitaAR]

That will be our final Jedi then.

[GingerBoi123]

Would Jedi's know each other?

[VitaVitaAR]

Luke assigned them all to this mission, so they've met prior to embarking on it. Though not necessarily in much depth.

[NarcissisticPotato]

Can someone more knowledgeable on the topic tell me whether the Empire cut down on cloning after the Kamino Uprising and if the First Order continued to use cloning techniques?

Name: Gideon Shurima

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance:

Personality: Gideon, outside of combat, is a bubbly, friendly and chivalrous man with a good understanding of what respect actually is. He is humorous and highly protective of his friends and allies, getting in the way of a fight and defending an ally or someone in need a lot, which some may view as a kind of foolish chivalry. He is also incredibly tenacious... or stubborn. He enjoys challenging himself, pushing his body further and further, or defeating the next big opponent. That's what makes Gideon... Gideon.

Profession: Jedi

Skills:

Form V Specialist- Form V, or Shien is the fifth jedi combat form that focuses on using defence as an offence. A prime example is deflecting a blaster shot back at enemies.

Force expert- The strong spiritual matter, known as the force, have always piqued the interest of Gideon, and he uses it very well for a simple Jedi.

Abilities:

Force Powers- As a Jedi, Gideon can use the force, and has a natural aptitude for it. Gideon has found the technique of concentrating the force on his left forearm into a kind of shield, resembling that of a buckler shield, which gives him a small edge in combat.

Equipment: Blue lightsaber with the hilt being entirely silver. Although the hilt is basic and not as eccentric as others, Gideon made his personal by inscribing the alternate Jedi Code on the hilt, the code recited by younglings in their initiate trials-

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet the Force.

Brief Backstory: As a child, Gideon always got in physical fights, without him being the initial aggravator. The way Gideon got involved was by stepping in front and fighting the bully or person who went to go fight Gideon's friend. However, this got him landed on his arse more times than he'd like to remember. However, on one Life Day, Gideon discovered his small yet still existent connection to the force, confirming he was force-sensitive. He was eventually discovered by a Rodian Jedi, who subsequently inspired Gideon to become a Jedi. Time flew by for him until he actually begun to wield his own lightsaber. He lived and breathed duelling. Gideon would spend night and day learning, analysing and practicing the first five forms, while also reading about form VI and VII, however he would soon discover that his talent was in the force. Gideon remembers sparring practice with Saku Ria who gained his upmost respect for her skill in the blade as well. This however only pushed him to become better and better, so he could one day beat the elder Jedi in duelling skill. Having not made much improvement, he decided to dabble in the force a bit more, and found his sensitivity to the force had since grown exponentially since he last paid attention, it was since then he swapped the majority of his time from duelling to the force. It has always been a motivation for him to become a knight and train an apprentice, someone he himself could train and mentor.

[VitaVitaAR]

@GingerBoi123: I would have liked if you asked @Zara and myself before involving our characters in his backstory. Also, I think three out of four jedi being fully dueling-focused is a bit much, even if I don't mind him wanting to improve his lightsaber skills and all.

That being said, he seems mostly fine, and I don't mind him having sparred with Saku before. But ask @Zara first, okay?

[VitaVitaAR]

@NarcissisticPotato: Sorry, missed your post initially. ^^; This isn't tying into the new movie to avoid spoilers and such, but as I understand cloning had declined quite a bit after the rise of the Empire, and most Stormtroopers are conscripts or volunteers.

[GingerBoi123]

@VitaVitaARAh yeah, true true, sorry, @Zara?

My bad on that, I'll get on it after the clock strikes midnight!

Pre Happy New Years everyone!

[GingerBoi123]

@VitaVitaAROkay, I think I've changed it enough, although I considered being more skilled with a blade, having strong force powers will still be cool af!

[VitaVitaAR]

Alright, he looks fine now. That's our final Jedi.

[GingerBoi123]

@VitaVitaARThanks Vita, can't wait to get started!

[VitaVitaAR]

So, once @Aerath finishes their character, no more Jedi will be allowed.

Dark Jedi, however, will be allowed in the same number of four.

After that, everyone needs to be something else. In addition, if you've signed up a Jedi, I strongly recommend signing up a second, non-Jedi character.

*rolls into the thread*

So, can I join even though I've only seen the movies and some of the Clone Wars? I do have some knowledge from the wikis, so there.

[VitaVitaAR]

Feel free to join. I'm not the most knowledgeable about Star Wars either, but the books and games I have read plus the help of the wiki got me confident enough to try GMing.
