> Having been in the exact same position a couple years (?) ago, let me be the first then to welcome you back. Enjoy your stay, mang; you just won't find many RPs that have you coming back like that, especially ones that still live at the appointed time. Thank you, Ashgan. I appreciate it.
Hello, everyone. I would just like to apologize for my abrupt departure. It seems I am able to return to this RP after putting aside my pride and stubbornness so that I may come back here and apologize to all of you as well as finding new motivation to write in a fantasy setting. I have already discussed coming back with Jack, and he has agreed after I promised to not abandon the RP so abruptly again. I do not know if I will be sliding back into playing Salas or a different character as of yet.
Who's still here?
**Name:** Joard Hethe **Species:** [Firrerreo] (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Firrerreo) **Age:** 19 **Rank/Title:** Jedi Knight **Planet of Origin/Birth:** Ord Mantell **Force Sensitive Y/N:** Y **Appearance:** [Joard] (http://s243.photobucket.com/user/nacron/media/38b54478-1b7c-461f-83e0-2129f69bf7aa_zpsf5fcc92a.jpg.html) is a lean man, standing at an average height of five foot, eight inches. His hair is short and untidy, freshly grown out from his Padawan plait and has streaks of dark red through it. Joard’s eyes are a light violet color. His skin is a lighter than average shade of gold for his species. He also has highly developed canine teeth like others of his species, making him look as though he has fangs. **Racial Traits:** - Nictitating Eyelids: The Firrerreo have nictitating membranes in their eyes in order to protect their eyes from debris as well as intense flashes of light. - Ultraviolet Vision: The Firrerreo have the ability to see into the ultraviolet range of the light spectrum. - Rapid Healing Factor: The Firrerreo have a rapid healing factor, making them able to heal minor wounds in minutes and more major wounds in hours. They are not able to heal wounds to the heart or brain, however. **Skills/Abilities/Talents/Training:** - [Force Illusion] (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mind_trick#Force_illusion) - Force Mind Trick: The Mind Trick is a useful Jedi tool, and Joard has gone beyond the average use of it and can use it more easily and to a greater aptitude than the average Jedi - Makashi style saber combat - Archivist: Joard was intending to train as a Jedi Archivist, but he abandoned the training barely two years into it in order to join Revan. Through what training into archiving he received, Joard has picked up a moderate slicing skill in order to get through records in the Archives quickly. He also studied into history and archeology in preparation to join the Exploration Corps as an Archivist. - Theoretical tactical knowledge: Joard has read about and memorized various stratagems for the battlefield, but has never seen real warfare and so only knows these stratagems in theory. **Equipment:** - [Curved hilt lightsaber with a dark teal blade] (http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff9/nacron/93f94445-d4c5-4fb0-beee-000c0203fffe_zps5214cf95.jpg) - Datapad - Wrist Communicator - Jedi Utility Belt: The belt that all or at least most Jedi have with pouches stuffed full of various gadgets that prove to be rather helpful in the field. Joard’s holds a small rebreather able to hold up for short periods in water as well as noxious gas, a few grappling hooks able to hold his weight, water purifiers and a spare communicator. **Psych profile:** Joard is a thoughtful individual who will speak his mind when he feels strongly enough about an issue, though he usually keeps his thoughts to himself. Xer Loa practically raised Joard, and so Joard has taken on a lot of the same opinions and mindsets as his former Master. Joard believes in a more active approach to helping those in need throughout the galaxy, thinking that merely sitting back and watching events unfold and allowing them to escalate before intervening is unacceptable. Xer Loa’s almost constant praise throughout Joad’s training has made the young Knight somewhat arrogant, especially when he knows he’s right about something. Joard knows he’s a smart man and trusts in his abilities maybe just a bit too much, but the truth is he has no idea what extent his abilities reach as he has not seen real battle other than a few disputes here and there throughout his training. Joard can at times overthink things that should otherwise be rather simplistic. **History:** Joard was born on Ord Mantell to junkers, who just barely scraped by before their child. Once they had Joard to look after, the Firrerreo couple would at times go hungry themselves in order to feed their infant son. The situation worsened as Joard got older and became needier. Two changes came upon the family, the first coming when Joard was barely four years of age. His father was desperate for credits to feed his family, so he accepted a bounty on one of the Republic troopers on Ord Mantell; apparently the man had angered the wrong person. Joard’s father sought the trooper out and plunged a rusty shank into the soldier’s neck. The boy’s father was arrested a short time after and imprisoned, but thankfully his wife and son got the money from the job. It was enough to live comfortably with just the two of them for a few months, but the money could not prevent Joard’s mother grieving herself into sickness. The second change came when Joard turned five; Jedi came to Ord Mantell to help the Republic with something and happened upon Joard. His mother gave her consent, knowing that he would live a much better life as a Jedi in service to the Republic. The young Firerreo was then taken to Coruscant to train as a Jedi. He was raised in the Order’s arms and molded by the Masters. Shortly after leaving Ord Mantell and joining the Jedi, Joard’s mother died of sickness, not being able to live without her husband. Joard mourned his mother, but continued with his training under the Jedi. At the age of twelve, Joard was taken on as a Padawan learner under a Kel Dor Jedi Master by the name of Xer Loa. The boy, having little to no memory of his own father, looked up to Xer Loa as a father figure, and their relationship grew as Joard trained directly under his new Master. Xer Loa did his best to shape and mold Joard into a talented and mindful young Jedi. The boy took to the subjects of warfare strategy and history quickly and soon proved to be a talented Force user for someone his age, although his training with a lightsaber did not slack either. Joard took to the Makashi style of combat, relying more on his agility than strength, trusting in his ability to dodge attacks instead of meeting attacks head on. The young Firrerreo grew as his training continued under the watchful eye of Xer Loa. Joard remained Xer Loa’s Padawan for seven years, and has recently been knighted by the Masters of the Order. Xer Loa backs Joard in his decision to join the movement headed by Revan and join the fray in order to defend those who can’t defend themselves. **Relationships and Acquaintances:** - Most people Joard meets think of him as arrogant and stubborn. - Joard has made an acquaintance in Nero Acerbi due to both of their Masters having been friends and worked closely together on various missions, causing the two young men to be around one another quite a bit for brief periods of time. Now that the two have decided to go off to join Revan's ranks, Nero has actually been put under Joard as his Padawan, despite Joard just recently being knighted.
If you wouldn't mind taking on another person, I would like to voice my interest.
I'm still around. I've just been really busy and kept catching the Guild when it was down.
I agree with Ellri on this.
Joard turned, his thumb moving toward the ignition switch on his lightsaber. Before him was a man with blue hair, his blaster and lightsaber drawn. Seeing the lightsaber, Joard moved his thumb away from the ignition switch on his, relaxing slightly at the sight of his friend and rival. A small smirk worked its way over his light golden features, and he had opened his mouth to speak when he heard the sound of a lightsaber shutting off, the roar of a beast followed by the roar of another beast, and finally the sound of claw against flesh. It had happened quick, and Joard was expecting to turn and see the mangled form of his new Padawan between two beasts. Instead, he turned and saw his Padawan talking to the Trandoshan Republic soldier and the dead form of the beast that Nero was facing off with. The young Knight heaved a great sigh as he turned his back on his friend and walked through the brush toward Nero.

“Thank you for saving my Padawan, Trandoshan. I owe you one. Nero, are you alright?”

Joard looked Nero up and down, inspecting him for an serious wounds. After inspecting his Padawan, Joard turned back to Tamare to speak to him.

“Tamare, am I glad to see you. Where did you land at?”

The sounds of blaster fire could be heard off in the distance, and sounded as though they were getting louder and closer all the while. Joard looked around the clearing, taking in the three friendlies. Despite being a soldier, the Trandoshan had handled himself well with the indigenous beast of Gthrak. He could prove useful in battle as they made their way through the jungle, but the question was “Which way should they head”. There was the objective to think about, but Joard held more stock in his fellow Jedi. The Jedi could very well change the tide of the battles against the Mandalorians. Of course, Joard would also do what he could to help the Republic soldiers as well. Staring off toward the sound of fighting, Joard brought his wrist up and tried to tune into several comm frequencies. He managed to tune into a frequency in time to catch the tail end of a message.

“... unknown. Lots of… trees.”

The fragment was followed by a reply shortly after.

"Leto, this is Knight Zhiss. I am with your master. I want you to hide yourself as best you can. Once you do that, concentrate and focus on your master, so we can use the force to find you. Do not call out and stay off the comms, the Mandos are probably already hunting us. May the Force be with you."

With that, the comm went silent. Joard continued staring off in the direction of the blaster fire. That must be the Mandalorians hunting the Republic forces. Joard wondered whether they knew the Jedi had finally joined the fray in order to help the Republic forces. He slowly turned his back on the sounds of battle and looked at each of his three allies.

“You all heard that. There’s a hurt Padawan somewhere, and the Mandalorians are scouring the jungle for us. He sounded hurt. We need to find him. It’s hard to tell how close Zhiss and her group are to him. We could be closer, and even if we aren’t, we still need to try and find others who survived the crash before the Mandalorians do. Are we all in agreement?”
Sorry for my absence and lack of posts. Life swamped me out of nowhere. I'll have a post up later tonight or tomorrow.
The shuttle was going down, the cargo bay doors were opening slowly, and Joard was cursing the situation. Gritting his teeth, he followed his new Padawan out of the doors and jumped. His robes whipped around him as he fell toward the planet surface, using his jetpack to slow his descent. He watched as Republic soldiers deployed their chutes and were picked off as they become slow-moving targets. Using the Force, Joard timed the deployment of his chute until he was close enough to the jungle that he wouldn’t become a target for the Mandalorians, however his chute did not open when he tried to deploy it. Instead, Joard slammed into a tree and bounced from it into another tree and finally hit the ground on his back.

Luckily, he was using his jetpack to slow his descent and so didn’t hit as hard as he could have, though he definitely had some broken ribs and gashes across his body. With a groan he pulled himself up into a sitting position, holding his side. He felt the jetpack sagging on his back, no doubt broken by him landing on it. With a click, Joard unhooked the jetpack, which fell to the jungle floor sparking a bit. The Jedi looked over his body, watching as his gashes started to heal, leaving behind nothing but dried patches of blood and rips in his robes. His bones would take longer to heal, but he couldn’t sit around and wait. Joard closed his eyes and reached out with the Force, trying to find his Padawan or any other Jedi, but there was too much life in the jungle for him to center on any one of them.

With another groan, Joard pulled himself to his feet and looked up into the sky, watching other shuttles falling from the sky like so many shooting stars. It was ironic that he couldn’t pinpoint any one living being in the jungle with the confusion of battle going on, but he could feel each death going on far above him. Closing his eyes again, Joard tried to recall seeing which way his Padawan had fallen when they were tumbling through the air. His best guess was that Nero fell somewhere east of his current position. Joard started to limp eastward, his steps slowly becoming stronger as his bones began healing with pops and cracks. The young Jedi slowly made his way through the jungle, still attempting to reach out with the Force to try and find Nero; he was rewarded for his efforts when he heard the distinct sound of two lightsabers igniting off to his right.

Joard approached the noise as quietly as possible, coming upon the scene of his Padawan standing off against some beast with tusks and six legs. Looking around, Joard saw a Trandoshan Republic soldier nearby, who no doubt heard his approach, as he was not stealthy, despite his best attempts; the only reason the beast hadn’t noticed his approach was because of Nero’s lightsabers. He was on the verge of stepping out to help Nero, when he heard footsteps from behind. Joard turned, pulling his lightsaber from his belt and holding it at the ready without igniting it yet.
