You can play as any sort of character as you'd like that is around the same age and level as the padawans - which will be the main focus characters. There are three padawan spots left that will serve under one of my Jedi masters. All characters will be able to advance in power and title throughout the role-play. There are only Four Jedi masters in the new council that have survived the storm.
If you are planning to submit a CS once the OOC is up, then that makes three of us interested in making this happen so far :P The third being my Co-Gm.
