The truth in our soul,
Is that nothing is true.
The question of life
Is what then do we do?

- Fragmented Passage, Journal of the Whills




Overview:

It has been over 150 years since the decisive victory by the Resistance and its allies over the Sith Eternal at Exegol. On that fateful day, the Galaxy was at last freed fully from the corrupting influence of the Sith. In the years that followed, an uneasy peace settled over the surviving worlds and peoples. Old enemies laid down their arms and clasped hands. New Galactic boundaries were drawn, not with fire but with the oaths of allies. The Galactic Federation of Free Alliances - more commonly known simply as the Galactic Alliance - was born out of the shattered remains of the Old Empire and the New Republic and spread its vast arms across all of known space, ruling through the combined input of the leaders of these humbled powers. Small conflicts flared occasionally, though they were quickly put down by the strong arm and watchful eyes of Jedi Grandmaster Rey Skywalker, her burgeoning new Jedi Order, and the Galactic Alliance Guard.

In these long and untroubled years, the monstrous and brutal acts of the Sith faded at first to distant memories, and then to legend. However, the few and the wise know that there is always a bit of truth in Legends…





Guidelines:

This roleplay takes place in the somewhat-distant, somewhat-near future of the Star Wars universe, after the Skywalker Saga has concluded and most if not all of the characters we know well from the movies and shows are long gone. As such, it is a reboot of sorts, and I intend to make the most of it. I have and will continue to incorporate the best elements from the current canon as well as the Legends or Expanded Universe canon, alongside my own original creations. Generally, movie canon will take priority in establishing the timeline of events and Legends material will be adapted to fill out the empty spaces as needed.

The Star Wars Galaxy is a big, big place. This roleplay is intended to let you, the players, explore it at whatever pace you desire. There will be a main story with a lot going on, but progressing your own side plots and character-to-character interactions is both allowed and encouraged. That said, here are some guidelines:

1. As stated above, this is a relatively open-ended experience. I'll try to keep an updated summary of main-plot events for newcomers, but there won't be a cap on number of players. Anyone can join in at any time.

2. As this is a casual roleplay, I won't be demanding super high-effort posts, but I would appreciate at least one or two detailed paragraphs.

3. Characters of all occupations and backgrounds are allowed (as long as they're lore-friendly), with Jedi characters encouraged as there's going to be some Force-heavy events happening quite early on.

4. Though all kinds of characters are welcome, power scaling should be kept in mind. If you're going to make a Jedi character, for example, they should probably be a Padawan or a younger, more inexperienced knight and not the second coming of Anakin Skywalker.

5. Please try to post at least once a week or so, so that you don't get left behind!

6. Don't feel intimidated if you don't know a lot about Star Wars, the Legends continuity, or anything like that. I've deliberately set things in a timeline where nothing necessarily has to adhere strictly to any established continuity. If you even have an inkling that you think you'd enjoy this story, I encourage you to participate!





Lore










More lore coming soon!




If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! All the information and the roleplay guidelines on this post are subject to change if need be.

If there's some decent interest in this, I'll get right to work on an OOC post with a character sheet, as well as a Discord for the RP.
@Bastian Right now we have two others in queue. You're welcome to be next in line if the others aren't interested.


Sure, sounds good!
Any chance y'all are taking some new characters in here?
Damn, I wish I had A) seen this roleplay earlier and B) retained some more knowledge of the world of Redwall than I have. I loved these books as a kid. Doubt I'd be able to join, but I'll be reading along.
Selio Taraves


Great beams of sunlight were already slanting down through the windows by the time Selio slowly sat up in bed. He looked around a moment and stretched leisurely, still feeling the hold of sleep firmly on his mind. After all this time, it seemed funny that waking up in a timely fashion remained one of his most bitter struggles.

He paused a second to reflect on all that had happened yesterday. As someone that had experienced precious little pomp and ceremony in his life, the proceedings in the ceremony had been staggering. The roar of the crowds, the cacophony of the bells - it had made him feel small in an entirely different and unfamiliar way than he was used to. Standing out amidst the dunes in their heights evoked wonder, yes, but only one other time in his life had he felt so... scrutinized. He had hardly spoken to anyone the entire day, too busy drinking in the sights and sounds of the unfamiliar green land with its tall silvery stone structures. Pentads, the buildings of the academy itself dwarfed the low, practical sandstone buildings of his family's villa four or five times over. Afterwards, he had been so exhausted that he had gone to bed right after they had all supped, and probably not moved a hair since just now.

The soft sound of voices downstairs caught his ear. Right. He was here to work, first and foremost. Damn the city and all its colors for the moment - it was time to learn a little more about the people he would be learning with. And maybe take some time to address some other needs as well, he though wryly as his stomach rumbled in response to the smells of food wafting up the stairs.

He rose and began to dress, taking care not to make too much noise - his roommate was still abed, a chaotic tangle of limbs and sheets that didn't look like it was going to be undone any time soon. A loose-fitting white shirt went on over his head, and then was buckled securely to his waist with a wide belt. He slipped his feet into a supple pair of long boots, taking a moment to work his feet firmly and comfortably into the soles.

As Selio creaked his way down the staircase, the conversation became a little easier to pick out. Something about when the classes would start? He hesitated for just a second on the final step. Two students were up, it seemed, speaking to the Zeno himself. He recalled meeting them both yesterday, now that he thought on it, but given his preoccupation he hadn't paid them as much attention as he should have. There was the smaller Rettanese girl - the one who had just been talking - and what seemed to be a young noblewoman from the far South. His eyes lingered just a bit; he'd never quite seen hair that color before. Striking.

The youth crossed quickly and slipped into the nearest available seat. "Good morning," he said, ducking his head towards his two peers and then inclining his head more deeply and respectfully towards the Zeno. "I hope I did not... cause an interruption." Agh, but Avincian could be a troubling language sometimes. He briefly turned his attention to his breakfast, and took an exploratory bite. Oh. Pentad, preserve me. He didn't realize quite how hungry he actually had been. He took a second, larger bite quickly after the first, then raised his eyes back to the others.


The lore for this seems so... fun. For some reason, the very academic approach to magic reminds me of the Kingkiller Chronicle. I'd love to take a stab at it, provided there's still enough space for more characters.
Awesome! Working on a character now. Expect me within the next day or so.
Hiya, is this still open? I'm very interested.
