Seth was slightly taken aback by Lucy's response, though he did not outwardly show it. He'd known there was something different about her, but clearly things were more complicated than he'd anticipated. He thought for a moment about what she'd asked him, about whether he would be willing to give up this safe, normal life that he had been living for the past few years, and it didn't take him long to come up with an answer.

"This normalcy is a lie. We only see what Ultimatum wants us to see, hear what they want us to hear. This normal life we're living isn't one that we got to choose for ourselves, it was assigned to us by people most of us will never even meet. If you're asking me if I'm content coming to this boring class every day, listening to these government issued lessons, and never asking questions, or learning the truth, then your answer would be no." Seth said just loudly enough for Lucy to hear him. His expression more serious than normal.

"Our lives are our own, not Ultimatum's. So it is our right to choose what we do with them, for better or for worse. You're not the only one here with ambition, you know, as hard as it may be for you to believe. If you want me to stay away from you for personal reasons, let me know. But don't expect to scare me off with cryptic warnings, simply based off of your assumptions." He finished in a vaguely casual sort of way, before getting to his feet, and walking off to his desk to await Mr. Henderson's arrival. Before too long, class started up again, and Seth spent the duration of Mr. Henderson's lectures thinking about what Lucy had said to him.

Was Lucy some sort of rebel? Or perhaps she was a criminal in hiding. He didn't know anything about her, aside from the fact that she was clearly different from most of the other students here. But even so, if she was in some sort of trouble, and there was something he could do to help her, he had to at least try. Either way, he suddenly felt the urge to finish up the secret projects he'd been working on at home. He had the feeling that things might get more interesting in the near future, and he may just end up needing his newest creations ahead of schedule.

Hollly crap guys, sorry, been super busy all weekend, exhausted and partied out now. Will DEFINITELY resume normal posting tomorrow. Sorry for the delays!

Rebellion

Hm, I wanna get a post up, but I also want to wait for Faded Memory to get one in. I shall wait. I might not be able to post like 3-4 times a day until Sunday, though, hanging with the buddies tonight/tomorrow. I should be able to get one or two posts in, though.

Rebellion

Also got a post up.

Seth was a little taken aback by Lucy's sudden departure, he could tell that something was wrong, and he didn't think it was his fault, but he still felt a little worried as Lucy ran off. When she was gone he turned his gaze to Morgan, the girl who had called him Superhero. She normally avoided people like the plague, and others returned the favour, she had made it very clear early on that she didn't care for her classmates, not unlike Lucy had earlier. But Morgan always seemed to be openly hostile about it. He thought it was probably just a tough act she put on, but he didn't know her well enough to say with any certainty.

"You know, I don't recall ever claiming to be some sort of hero, so I don't know where the nickname is coming from." He said dryly.

"But Lucy must really interest you. It's not often that you go out of your way to interact with your classmates, even to mock them. Sense a kindred spirit in her?" Seth teased, before Jurano's sudden and loud arrival captured his attention.

"SETH BUDDY HOW'S IT GOING?! ahhh i see your trying to push in on the new girl already, smooth."

"Very funny. I just thought she seemed interesting, so I wanted to introduce myself. But apparently she isn't interested. I hope she's alright, though, she seemed troubled."

After that interesting exchange, Jurano went to go eat in his own seat, and the classroom returned to something close to normalcy. Lucy probably wasn't going to be gone forever, so he decided to stay put and see what happened. Sure enough, with about fifteen minutes left on their lunch break, Lucy returned to the classroom, and reclaimed her seat. She looked much better now, as she unpacked her lunch and resumed her meal. Eventually, she decided to address him once more, probably realising that he had no intention of walking away yet.

"Oh, you forgot to tell me your name,"

"The name is Seth Parker. I apologise if I made you uncomfortable earlier, I'm not going to impose myself on you if you'd rather I leave you alone. I just was hoping we could get to know each other a little better. You seem different from most of the students here, and not in a bad way." He returned casually.

He'd decided that he wasn't going to pry into whatever it was that had caused her to rush out of the classroom earlier. It was probably quite personal, and asking her about it might only make her more uncomfortable than she probably already was.

Praise TheWindel, our wise and gracious leader.

Seth spent the rest of the class alternating his attention between the occasional notes he jotted down, and stealing glances at Lucy every few minutes or so. She seemed so disconnected from her classmates, focusing solely on her notebook, which she continuously took notes in throughout the entire class. A real model student it would seem, quite different from himself, he thought. It took all sorts to make the world work, though, regardless of what Ultimatum wanted them to believe.

He couldn't say he blamed this girl for being uninterested in interacting with her fellow students, after all, when he first came to Sunnydale he was far from a social butterfly himself. Still, though, he understood what it was like to be alone. If you spend your whole life pushing people out of it, eventually you'll realize that you are left with nothing, no matter how much knowledge you acquire, or money you earn. He wasn't planning on forcing himself into this new girl's life, but it couldn't hurt to try to learn a bit about her.

When the bell finally rung, most of the students were eager to jump from their seats and head to the cafeteria, and so that's what they did, most of them, at least. As he'd expected, Lucy made no effort to leave the classroom or interact with any of her classmates, she simply took out a small lunchbox and began eating alone, looking rather uncomfortable. After a while she took out a green notebook, different from the one she'd been taking notes in before, and started writing in it. Never took a break, did she?

After a few minutes of watching her out of the corner of his eye, he decided to try his luck with her, maybe by some chance he'd succeed where his classmates had failed. He got to his feet and casually made his way over to the empty desk beside Lucy's, before taking a seat in it and simply waiting. At first it seemed like she might try to ignore his presence, but eventually she stopped taking notes and glanced up at him in a way that nearly made him regret his decision to approach her. Oh well, he'd gotten himself into this, might as well make the best of things and see where it took him.

"Hey there. Sorry to bother you, but you caught my interest earlier and I was waiting for a chance to introduce myself. now seems like as good a chance, as I'm going to get, so here I am. The name's Seth, it's nice to meet you. The way you intimidated the rest of the class earlier was pretty impressive. Certainly made getting through Henderson's droning a little easier." He grinned, extending his hand to Lucy, wondering if she'd take it, or simply stare him down until he left her alone.

Hopefully things start progressing at a decent pace soonish. :p

Dawnon, remind me to fill you in on some've the Mando lore later. I see a few holes in here. Not to be a jerk, just saying. And he's my CS.What's your name?: Keenok TetsuHow old are you?: 34Where do you come from? Boy or girl?: MaleWhat do you look like?: Tell us about yourself: Keenok is a fairly good example of a Jedi Guardian. A just, honest man that, while he prefer to settle a dispute peacefully, is willing to fight for what is right and to defend the innocent. He prefers to operate alone, though in a group he rarely takes the role of leader, prefering to follow. He can still be a little emotional and sentimental, but for the most part he has a good hold on himself in that regard. In combat he doesn't limit himself to any one style, prefering to adapt as the situation demands, though he is most proficient in a moddified form of Shien.What's your story?: There isn't much to be said about this man. Born on Rodia in the lands of the Tetsu Clan, he was found to be Force-Sensitive at an early age and sent to the Jedi on Coruscant at five. He excelled in the physicial aspects of training, making his path as a Guardian obvious to most that knew him. At seventeen he was taken as a Padawan by Jedi Master Caran Dojis, serving most in the Mid Rim to settle brushfire wars. The highlight of his time as a Padawan was during a dispute on Rodia, in which he was forced to defend a small band of pacifists from an attack by the Chattza Clan. Afterward, his father presented him with his family's sword, and gave Keenok a simple instruction. "Go, my son. Show our people what it means to live with honor and justice."Shortly after, Keenok was deemed ready to face the trials and was promoted to Knight. Thereafter he devoted himself to learning the ways of the ancient Jedi Weapon Master, training in a number of uncommon, unorthadox Jedi weapons. He continues to serve mainly in the Mid Rim, though now he's been instructed to return to Coruscant to assist with the investigation of a missing Jedi Master.Anything extra that you want to tell us?: As a Weapon Master, he's armed to the teeth. He carries with him at all times a green lighsaber pike and a traditional Rodian scimitar. He also carries a holdout blaster when the situation permits, and on occasion thermal detonators as well.

Accepted!

Name: Adaan LoreAge: 22Origin and Sex: Mandalorian Male from the civilized part of MandaloreAppearance: Adaan is average in appearance and he likes it that way because it makes him hard to distinguish from a crowd. He is five foot seven inches tall and fit due to his militant lifestyle, with medium length raven black hair and short beard on his lean stern face that bores no distinguishing features. He wears a suit of unmarked faded yellow mandalorian light scout armor complete with a light helm that has a visor only covering the top half of his face. He wears a backpack full of tools and hacking hardware as well as an extensive utility belt holding other more often needed tools as well as ammo for his blaster carbine.Biography: Adaan wasn't always an outlaw, he was born on Mandalore into a well respected militant family with a long tradition of service. However as Adaan grew he found his attention drawn to the mechanisms of the technologies around him and as he grew his interests shifted from his fathers and he found himself struggling between his families wish for him to join the Mandalorian military and his wish to further his study. When he reached the age of 21 he was already trained in the martial ways of close quarters fighting as well as the proper use of a variety of blaster weapons, he became decent at both even though he wasn't particularly interested. In the time between training and schooling he was plotting of a way to escape his existence. One day he found his chance when he learned of a raiding party of tribal marauders was leaving the planet and the system to go pillage for wars own sake.He stole his fathers veteran gear and ran to the wilderness to find the pirates. When he did however it was not as simple as that for the pirates were grizzled veterans themselves they organized a series of trials to test his Strength, Wits, Intelligence and sheer force of Will and Resolve. With great struggles he hunted down one of the largest predators of Mandalore proving his Wit. He hacked into and stole a hundred thousand credits to help fund the pirates, barely escaping the security force he had proven his Intelligence. His Strength and Will were tested through a series of trials by combat that had left him traveling with them in a bacta tank for two weeks due to the severe cuts and bruises.He spent two months with the pirate crew pillaging and honing his criminal skills in hacking and tampering with droids, explosives and security systems. That however was only a means to an end and when he felt that he had nothing more to learn from them he parted ways in search of new things he had not yet seen and maybe even a few wonders. They left him on the planet of Dantooine where he found his way to a Jedi Enclave where he decided to rest for a few weeks.

I'll accept this character, and will think of a decent way to shoehorn him into the story, but you may have a little bit after the roleplay starts, because the party will be initially setting out from Coruscant. Unless you want to edit your bio a little bit to include him eventually making his way to Coruscant and the Jedi Temple there, otherwise, I'll think of something.

What's your name?: Zariev AvrosHow old are you?: 23Where do you come from? Boy or girl?: Male. He was born on the Echani home world of EshanWhat do you look like?: Zariev is 6'2 and has the silver eyes and white hair that are commonly seen among the Echani. His hair goes down to his shoulder. Instead of wearing the customary brown robes of the Jedi Order he wears a robe that has been customized for him to allow him to have the best possible freedom of movement during battle and during training. History: Zariev was born on the Echani home world of Eshan to an Echani battle-master and an Echani senator and was found to be force sensitive at an early age. He was taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and after a few years of training and learning the Jedi Code he was assigned to a Jedi Master. Unfortunately for Zariev, after years of training with and learning from his Master, she was killed during a skirmish with Morgukai warriors on a backwater world in the outer rim territories. Despite being a very formidable opponent with his double-bladed lightsaber and his force abilities, Zariev was barely able to survive the encounter and after stopping the Morgukai he limped back to his Master's star ship and was forced to send out a distress call after taking off from the planet. A republic vessel was able to pick up the distress call and was able to return him to Coruscant where he spent nearly four days in a bacta tank. Shortly after the incident, Zariev was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight for managing to stop the Morgukai. His first act as a Knight was to attend the funeral of his Master. During the Funeral, he was unable to keep his calm and burst into tears at the sight of his master's body burning on the pyre knowing that he would never be able to speak to her or ask her for advice again. He was given a few assignments that kept him in the Jedi Temple while he struggled to bring his emotions back under control and finally succeeded after a few weeks. The Jedi Council have finally decided to allow him to leave the temple and join a mission to find a missing Jedi Master.Anything extra that you want to tell us?: Zariev wields a violet double bladed lightsaber and is a very skilled combatant due to teaching himself Echani combat techniques and his Jedi combat training.

Accepted, nice to see an Enchani character.
