Star Wars: Grievous Ascent

Sorry if this took so long to post @Alfhedil but I have been busy with college and I got caught up with some things over the weekend. It is still a WIP but I want to try to get started posting on the IC as soon as possible. Possibly get started on posting by the end of April.

Name: Neomi Synia
Species: Human (Jabiimi)
Age: 36
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Affiliation: Jensaarai, Jabiimi
Occupation: Jensaarai Sentinels-Assassin
Brief History:

Neomi was one of the few Jedi Shadows during the Clone Wars and was one of the most highly trained one yet was the most watched due to her conflicting loyalties during the Clone Wars.

She was born on 43 bby on Jabiimi but at the age of six her family became spacers and traveled the galaxy, trading at different planets, constantly on the move. She helped her family in the business and helped her dad fixing robots to sell to customers to which her parents and siblings noticed her aptitude in engineering, as she handles computers fairly well at her age.
At the age of seven her family temporarily visited Coruscant for a routine ship checkup when she was noticed by Jedi Master Echuu-Shen-Jon. Her parents decided to allow Neomi to join the Jedi as they realized that with her talents and force sensitivity, she could become something.

Neomi passed her initiate trials and was chosen by the same one who discovered her, Echuu-Shen-Jon. The Jedi Order became a second family to her. After participating in many missions with her master she ascended to the rank as a Jedi Knight. She then took the most uncommon path of the Jedi which was the Sentinel and trained under Taria Dasmin.

Most of the time she worked with the Jedi Technical Division were she spent countless hours working on droids to the point before the Clone Wars she could use Mechu-Deru. During this time she developed a disdain of politics and the Republic, regarding a massive bureaucratic mess. When the Clone War started, she became active as a Jedi Shadow, hunting down anyone connected to the Sith.
Yet hunting down Sith alone in the galaxy

Planet: Caecius

Caecius

Military and Civilian Assets:

Jensaarai ever since their survival against the Jedi have amassed a moderate force of force sensitive users. Many of these users were

Susefvi Temple

Rakatan Assets

Temple of Nikosia

The Rakatan Research Base on Caecius was awe inspiring. It was the largest installation that the Jensaarai ever saw. It spanned into a large natural made cave system with different fortified tunnels connecting to different sectors of the research base.
The base purpose was to house Rakatan Researchers studying the flora and fauna on the planet.

A powerful assest the Jensaarai possess are former Rakatan Droids. Many were found abandoned within the base.

Crystal Caves of Haamycvercopa me’suum (Mandalorian Language) (Haverkopa) (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shogun)

It would mean Unusual dream planet. (Wil lchange name in the future.)

http://www.mandoa.org/

Mandoa

(haamyc [HAH-meesh] unusual)

(vercopa [vair-KOH-pa] wish, dream)

(me'suum [may-SOOM] planet)

For centuries since the Mandalorian conquest of Haverkopa during the Great Sith Wars, the planet was known for its crystalline dreamy, bizarre landscape. When Jensaarai began introducing they began using the crystal of Haverkopa for their lightsabers and the Mandalorians had no problem with it.

Jensaarai Navy

The Jensaarai Navy is not a true Navy. It is made up of star fighters, freighters, shuttles, patrol craft and corvettes.

Brief History:

The Jensaarai beginnings were at the hands of Nikkos Tyris. Tyris was a Jedi Knight like any other who followed the Jedi Way of Life until his search for knowledge in the archives led him to the discovery of the ancient Sith manuscript, the Jiaasjen or “integrating the shadow” written by Larad Noon, one of Exar Kun followers during the Old Sith War. The manuscript included the tales of an exiled dark Jedi, the Sith’s birth, the Sith War, and a great deal of Sith information. The most important detail in the manuscript that Tyris noticed was that the light side and the dark side of the force could be integrated together as one. Though the manuscript also claimed that the Jedi stole everything from the Sith.

Tyris gathered the closet Jedi he knew including known Gray Jedi in the order and called for a meeting at the works were the Jensaarai was formed, a new force sensitive-order. The Jensaarai made an exodus to the Outer Rim were they would set up their order on Susefvi. Tyris believed he imparted knowledge that neither good nor evil but unknowingly began the corruption of the Jensaarai.

Though not all of his closest friends agreed with him and tipped off the Council. The council interpreted the teachings of Noon to be Sith. With Clone Wars and the return of the Sith, the Council was determined to neutralize the Jensaarai. A strike group of Jedi’s led by Neeja Halycon, Ylenic It’kla, and a Jedi Shadow named Desertwind were sent to neutralize the Jensaarai on Susefvi.

At first the Jensaarai tried to reason with the Jedi strikegroup at their makeshift base as they did not want to fight and simply wanted to be ignored. The strike group had two orders for the Jensaarai, “dead” or “alive.” A great battle ensued on Susefvi as the Jensaarai fought for survival.

Nikkos Tyris along died in battle among several of the original members. The strike group failed to defeat the Jensaarai and there were only a few survivors from the strike group that escaped. With the collapse of the Republic and the Jedi Order, they could not eliminate the Jensaarai and grew nervous about the Jensaarai survival and their inability to launch another attack.

Jensaarai were victorious time grew a hatred towards the Jedi Order. The Saarai-Kar then decided to settle the Jensaarai operations to the Eva-T System within the Quence sector due to its status as a backwater; it was the perfect place to establish their new order, away from the populated planets and to hide from the Jedi.

They discovered an unnamed Gas Giant and named it Tyriseum after their slain leader. It held several terrestrial moons and settled on the largest one orbiting it and named it Nikosia. To the Jensaarai shock they found an old abandoned Rakatan research base that was built into a large cave system that studied the planets native flora and fauna and later discovered the original moon name, Caecius and the gas planet name which was Thyellai. They christened Caecius as their new home.

A great time of mediation and learning occurred where the Jensaarai were both seeking to understand the texts of Larad Noon and battle against the Dark Side, which was trying to take over them. It took months of meditation, psychotic episodes, and malicious thoughts for the Jensaarai to finally be able to syncretize the light and dark side of the force and modeled their order with influence from the Jedi and the Sith. They viewed themselves neither good, nor evil.

In twenty years later, Jensaarai grew into a large order well known throughout the surrounding sectors of Quence. They became known for their ideals of peace and justice while combing the Dark/Light Side of the force syncretically.

<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

I do believe I owe @Shadowkiller912 an apology. Not for the argument, I still think I'm right you could stand to reorganize the music class. The apology is for the manor in which this argument has been unfolding. When I'm involved in an argument about something I'm passionate about I have a tendency especially online where tone doesn't come through to sound offensive. I've got a great love of music and the fiddle is one of my favorite instrument which I don't like to see disregarded. All I've seen since this began is you trying to make things easier on yourself at the expense of everyone else. For not trying to see your point of view on this matter and for letting this get out of hand I am truly sorry.

For the record, not assigning blame to anyone, but regarding the semblance argument with your teacher character. That was me attempting to solve what I saw a logistics problem. It had nothing to do with you or your character but me trying to rationalize what I saw as a glaring inconsistency. I became brusque and if I'm being honest rather graceless after a logical answer was not given to me and instead I was told several times that 'it just worked'. It was nothing to do with you specifically Shadow, I could just as easily have had the same argument with any of the other cast members.

@Prince of Seraphs

@Prince of Seraphs

Accepted. Though I admit that I have been stubborn on this matter. Naturally I am stubborn and I should see this in a more general open level for everyone. I took the music class on the viewpoint of a Symphonic band member to which I was making the class seem too realistic for anyone that never played music before, thus being stubborn on it. Sorry for acting as an elitist.

I tend not to try to take debates on things in RPing too seriously as I do not want to involve myself into something that will I tend not to try to take debates on things in RPing too seriously as I do not want to involve myself into something that will affect my mood.

We can reorganize the music class to being more general as a class for students wishing to improve their music skills.

<Snipped quote by shadowkiller912>

Yes indeed a few took notice and all of them told you it was bad idea. Besides as far as the school is concerned your class was registered as music giving the students no indication that it was so completely narrow minded in teaching method. You're not trying to accommodate Sapphire at all, accommodating her would involve teacher her the instrument she came to learn. What your trying to do is alter her function because you don't have the knowledge or the experience to know how to actually deal with a violin player. What would you have done if Merlin was still present in the RP? After all he was a violinist same as Sapphire.

@Prince of Seraphs

No one ever said that...at all. If they did I would take heed of it and try something else but nope. All I see is you saying that its a bad idea.

You know what fuck it. Honestly I've been trying to be nice to you especially how hostile and mean you responded to me on my music teacher character sheet over the fucking semblance and originally when I announced the class was going to be Symphonic band class. I am trying my best to RP this but you always respond to me this. Since this matter so much to you, why not you take over and RP the class because I do not give a fuck anymore about.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Ignoring that fact that that was part of an argument of the way the Music class was organized then that never got resolved the double bass and the violin are not as linked as you seem to believe. With a bit of effort and work a violinist could transition to a cello but the double bass is completely different. The bass has much lower strings which are tuned in fourths instead of fifths like the violin, viola, and cello. It's like trying to add two fractions with different denominators, it does not compute properly without some major modifications. The double bass isn't actually part of the violin family. The double bass is the last remaining members of another family of instruments from several hundred years ago. They have similar designs and the double bass is often mistaken as part of the violin family but there designs and styles are radically different. Not to mention that the double bass serves a completely different function in music compared to a violin. Violin's play ahead of the beat, while the double bass plays behind the beat, it's an altogether different play style. Look transitioning someone from the violin to the double bass is not as easy as one might assume just by looking at the two instruments. It's like teaching someone who drives an automatic car to use a stick shift. You might as well teach her a completely different instrument cause she would have to learn a completely different set of rules and habits if she was to take up the double bass. Oh and as a bonus the standard form of playing the Double Bass for Jazz Band is called pizzicato which involves plucking the strings of the instrument with your fingers rather than using a bow, another thing that Sapphire has no training in.

And this isn't about my character but you can't make a distinction between Choir and Concert Band when looking at your students when your class is titled 'Music' and there was no indication to the students that it was a band class at all.

@Prince of Seraphs

I know that their are different styles which is why she would be learning it along with the help from Zywie though her also having to do her part in learning it. I'm just trying to do my best to accommodate Sapphire in this despite my little knowledge on stringed instruments and how no one in the class cared to take heed to notice on how it was going to be a concert band class.

Uh its a Concert/Jazz Band class which would be a music class.

I indicated it to the others about a month ago it was going to be a Concert Band class and later merged to be a Jazz Band class but only a few took notice.

@LugubriousTBH should we even have 6th period classes and optional classes it seems useless and too much and could be better off RPed by the characters if they choose to RP the class or have 6th period classes on one day of the week.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Please @Lugubrious for the love of all that is holy allow us to have at least some of sixth period rather than just bypassing it with a teachers post.

<Snipped quote by shadowkiller912>

In a million years Sapphire's not going to stand for this. She didn't enlist in music class in order to join the school band, if she had wanted to join the school band she would have done so. Sapphire joined music class in order to increase her abilities as a violinist and a singer. If Shadow tried this IC in a setting where we were all allowed to participate then it would set off a full blown fight between the teacher and Sapphire which isn't something that Shadow can just skate over in one IC post.

There is of course also the fact that Sapphire can't sight read which was also glossed over. She plays music by ear not by sheet music.

@Prince of Seraphs

You do know that she still is a Violinist and that does not negate her playing the violin. This music class is a Symphonic Band/Jazz Band class. I even mentioned it a long time ago. If you are pissed off then RP some sort of class of her improving her abilities.

Well the way I was setting up the band was specifically as a Concert Band.

(http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/75870-heroes-of-beacon-the-next-chapter/ooc?page=86#post-2464383)

And what did I do? I did not do anything else with the other students except accommodate Sapphire Violinist who could be accommodated into the band by playing the Double Bass.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Zywie Stal - Symphonic Band/Jazz Band

Her first day of another concert band class went well. There were many veteran students that returned such as Sarina along with newcomers that arrived as well. It was the same routine just like how she had been teaching for many years. First day, little introduction of everyone and then sight read the pieces she handed out. Hounds of Spring https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzcoUDRR_7s, Festival Prelude https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK5TPwXGXQ4, Parkour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TghKoLi57Gs, and Crown Imperial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WMrQe87gRk were decently sight-read by the band and throughout the period led to a course of playing the music, narrowing down the mistakes, and eventually sectionals and lastly some details on Jazz Band and how that would be covered in the next class days. (in which each section of the band practice together in separate rooms).

Stal assigned Sapphire the Double Bass (http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140605005251/plantsvszombies/images/1/10/Double_bass.jpeg) immediately once talking to her after class. There would be changes as Sapphire would have to switch to bass clef and would help her into her transition as a Bassist. Though she was left with the the dilemma of the other students as class ended… Both Geni and Ivan played the Piano. She did not have enough time to ask them if they played any other type of instrument as not all pieces included the piano.

Stal could still accommodate Ivan and Geni in the band as they would have to take turns on playing pieces that included the piano. She was left with Daniel, a guitarist, Priscilla a vocalist who should be in Quire instead of Concert Band, and Greyson who played the electric bass. She could accommodate Daniel and Greyson into the Jazz Band with Priscilla. Stal wondered if they played any other kind of instrument such as the trumpet, or clarinet for symphonic band.

I am in process of writing the IC Music teacher post.

@Lugubrious

I am still in this Lugu. I know you are getting nervous about the RP but I am not leaving this RP. I was busy last week and the last few days at college. Just as a reminder late May will get busy for me since finals are in that month.

Personally, we should really get to the missions to hype this up. I am bored Rping in the school. We can even skip 6th period and simply write up an after post detailing what the students did and learn etc.

Edit: I will write up Zywies post tomorrow.
