Knowing Kad I wouldn't put it past him to do that Roo :p

Legend of Renalta 2 (Dark Fantasy)

wow I come to work and the ooc goes plaid....points to those that get the reference :p

Return of the Force 2.

Yea, you could likely use the main character as they were from the sheet you had writen, though you'd have an extra 16 or so traits to add to them, the sp and ap spending on assets pretty much needs a rewrite. Zran found out pretty quickly that trying to use an old sheet as a starting point is difficult. i mean all the characters that carried over from the original rp did it, but we had some development during the rp already.

so it would appear...

Legend of Renalta 2 (Dark Fantasy)

Actually I think we just all ended up in the same mission by chance, there aren't that many among the many characters that are such. of course while Maher is Templar trained and an inducted member of the order, he may not be the strictest adherent to dogma...

...Still a demon appearing before him is likely to trigger something.

On another note i still find it amusing that so many still think the Sea of Blood has any water in it at all. The name is not just a name, its actually a very accurate description.

Legend of Renalta 2 (Dark Fantasy)

Mate you picked a demon for a character, the 9 hells are the 'main enemy' in this RP, what did you expect?

Legend of Renalta 2 (Dark Fantasy)

Maher has also trained with the Templar. :p

...Well technically he still is a Templar, he was sent by Taigyn (the head of the Templar Order for those not up on the lore) to join the Blades.

Well hey, don't let that stop you :p

Suicide, Tragic or Selfish?

Your example just goes back to my original point. Psychological problems can be overcome, you state the depression is shown to be a chemical imbalance, and you say suicide is the ultimate expression of free will over ones own body/life. I challenge you to look at it from an alternate view.

To use your own example, the person has has maybe a year left or less before their social situation is likely to change due to factors entirely out of their own control. So instead of sticking it out and hanging on just that little bit longer, like they have been the past three years already, you propose they say "fuckit, this is to hard I'm out." Would it not be a greater expression of will to push on despite what their chemistry is telling them, to take it one day at a time if need be and at the very least just hang on that little bit longer, after all one year is a small time when the length of a full lifetime is taken into account.

You talk about suicide being an act of taking back control of ones life, it really isn't. Its ending that life. Its like pressing stop on a movie and then throwing it away just because one scene doesn't life up to the rest of what you've seen or been told about it. (highly simplified example I know)

Going back to your example, would it not be a greater expression of will to examine ones life, their day to day actions, the reasons other bully them, and then make positive changes. Better yet stop responding to the bullying, accept that some people are dicks and ignore them, they may escalate their bullying in the short term but if one continues to be unresponsive to that they will get bored and go pick on someone else.

also note that unlike the depression bit I am speaking from personal experience here, I think in my entire school life I had maybe 5 friends, over 13, not all at the same time. I was bullied daily, even beaten on several occasions. I responded to the beatings by learning a martial art, which in turn not only allowed me to defend myself but it taught me self discipline. I also came to the realisation that most of what bullies say is frankly out of ignorance and the desire to elevate themselves above others, even when the things they say have a ring of truth all it takes is a conscious effort to ignore them.

Anyway I've waffled on for longer than I intended, but I think I made my case.

Return of the Force 2.

Ok, so took longer than I had planned but here's the stats for your max rank Sith Instructor Zacharius. You may need to play with the layout in docs a little to make it all fit properly, assuming of course you know how to do that.

----Due to her extensive Cybernetic replacements due to her injuries Shayla while she retains her strong connection to the force finds herself unable to use many of the abilities she once enjoyed. Using the force to speed up her movements or jump extended heights is all but impossible though this is somewhat rendered moot by the fine construction of her exoskeletal frame being more capable than her original body was in the first place. She also quickly found that any lightning based abilities with the force were detrimental to her life support systems and has since been required to discontinue their use. She has also found that while she is still able to mask her presence with concealment it does little to prevent certain sensors from detecting her extensive cybernetics.
Abilities that may not be taken by this character include; 1.Force Speed, 2.Force Jump, 3.Detoxify Poison, 4.Force Lightning, 5.Force Destruction, 6.Psychometry, 7.Dark Transfer, 8.Hibernation Trance and 9.Force Drain.
