Star Wars: The 417th Legion (Dead)

We could just make Dark Jedi on the fly, so to speak. People we control in our posts to make the battles more effective and efficient, rather than having to PvP with you every time.

@Shard

That is how the antagonists are going to work anyway. Players can control them in their own posts whenever. I won't be PvPing with them at all. I will say tht\at Dask Gat cannot be in two different places at once so be mindful. I don't really like the idea of players making up Dark Jedi on the fly.

Star Wars: The 417th Legion (Dead)

Added some stuff to the second post on the first page. From now on this will be known as the "Briefing Post."

I have broken it down into a few new categories, the first is the Campaign category and will give background on the current long term plot. Right now we are fighting the Banking Clan so I gave background on our enemy and named a few antagonists that will be recurring throughout the campaign. As we finish battles and heroic deeds are accomplished by our troops I will update the Campaign category with a summary of what happened with the names of characters that completed the action. I will also add the current state of the campaign, like battles that other Legions fighting the Banking Clan have been a part of to give us an idea of the greater war going on in the galaxy. We will change campaigns eventually which will bring us to another part of the galaxy with some new (and returning depending on the character) antagonists.

The second category is the one you've already seen. This is the "Current Mission". Basically this will give us background on the battle we are heading towards. Who are our enemies and allies? How did the planet get to this point? What is our overall goal for the battle? Stuff like that. This will only be updated once per battle and will change more frequently than the campaign. There will be multiple battles per campaign.

The Last category is labeled objectives. These are our, well, objectives. Short term. This will be updated frequently and will have assignments for each player. In order to know what your unit is supposed to be doing you need to check your objectives. I give a short background before laying out some broad tasks that need to be completed. For example, the Naval regiment needs to break the blockade. How they do that depends on the players. Objectives will also give an idea on what our soldiers are up against. Under each objective I have a line labeled Assigned Units. This is where you look to find your unit/character. It tells what units are involved in what objective. There are currently three different objectives. I put regiments down as the assigned units. If you are unsure what regiment you fit under check the roster in the character section.

Okay, that's it. I'm going to bed. Night guys :)

Star Wars: The 417th Legion (Dead)

@Vandy I see. Also, if I remember correctly, Dooku had a number of dark jedi under his command. While not truly Sith, I am sure we could make use of Dark Jedi in the RP under the service of Dooku or otherwise acting as antagonists in their own right (just my two cents on the discussion on sith and force users, hope you don't mind)

@Mortarion

Like I said, I'll probably put some force using lightsaber wielders in here for the Jedi to fight. Don't ever worry about making a suggestion, they are always welcome.

I think I'm going to replace San Hill as the planetary governor with some kind of Muun fore user. He'll be our main antagonist for a little bit.

*EDIT
The Banking Clan governor of Ord Mantell is now an original character called Dask Gat who also happens to be one of Dooku's unofficial apprentices. He isn't very strong in the force and can only use a limited amount of telekinesis but he is an excellent saber duelist and strategist. He uses a double-bladed red lightsaber. We will be using him as an antagonist for a while. There will also be others as we go along.

| NAME: |

-Logan Kyle Rayner

| ALIAS: |

-None

| AGE: |

-16

| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT: |

-

• Green Lantern Ring: The ring is powered by the user's willpower. Its powers include
  
  • Energy Projection: The firing of green energy blasts through raw willpower. These blasts are generally more powerful than any ballistic or other energy weapon.
  • Construct Creation: A Green Lantern uses his ring to creation constructs through a combination of willpower and imagination. These constructs can be virtually anything from a weapon to a giant bed to sleep on.
  • Flight: The ring can make you fly!
  • Force-Fields: The ring creates force-fields that give the wearer the ability to travel through the cosmos without a space ship. It also grants the wearer limited invulnerability.
  • Etc.: Other things such as a truly universal translator, holograph projection, Galactic encyclopedia, electromagnetic scanning, and so on.
• Smart Kid: Logan is one of those kids that doesn't really care about school at all yet still manages to get some of the highest grades in the class. He does not have genius level intelligence, though maybe he would if he applied himself. However if he enjoys a subject he tends to excel at it.
• Smooth Talker: Logan is a pretty likable person. (Or at least he likes to think so.) He can often talk his way out of hairy situations and can be down right charming at times. He's also a bit of a sarcastic ass when he wants to be.
• Electrokinesis: Due to the fact that his mother comes from an alien race that can manipulate electrical currents, he also has this ability. Though he isn't very good at it. The ring is much easier to use anyway.
• Creative: Maybe it comes from his father's hobby in art or the fact that he has traveled all over the galaxy in his short life. Logan is very creative, whether that shows itself in his drawings, construct creation, or schemes.. *ahem* strategies.
• Psychology:Logan has always been interested by what makes other people tick. Psychology being his all-time favorite academic subject gives him the ability to ‘read’ people. If he isn’t day dreaming or trying to make everyone laugh he is probably quietly observing everyone.

| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |

-

• Slacker: His biggest weakness is a personality flaw that he's had for years. He seems to have absolutely no motivation to do anything school related unless it has to do with blowing something up with his ring. Homework be damned. How the hell does he keep the A's and B's? Who knows?
• Water Phobia: Technically he isn't afraid of the ocean, just what is inside of it. Ridiculous as it might be he is scared of anything to do with fish in oceans, lakes, ponds, whatever. He absolutely refuses to swim at the beach. Seriously, he won't do it. Sharks and stuff.
• Lazy: He isn't terribly out of shape but he won't exercise unless he really has to. He will probably never win a straight up endurance battle.
• Wanderlust: He always has his head in the stars. He is usually day dreaming about having an adventure somewhere out in space and never seems to be focused on where he is. Especially if he is on Earth. What a boring planet.
• Over-reliance: Logan isn't completely useless without his ring but he is pretty damn close. When it runs out of juice he usually becomes less than half the threat he was before.
• Forgetful: Even though his ring's power holds most of his.. uh.. power he still somehow forgets to charge the thing. That probably goes back to the slacker/procrastinator personality of his.

| SAMPLE POST: |

-
“Logan get up.” Logan Rayner rolled unto his back and groaned. He knew what was going on. It was time to go to the least interesting planet in sector 2814. Earth. His father stood on the other side of the room in full White Lantern power. Guess he was pretty determined.

“Isn’t it almost Halloween back on Earth? It might be a little too late to enroll in Karagan dad.” Logan half yawned out as he sat up in bed, his hair half standing up. Sure he would like to get off of Oa but at least this place was filled with interesting people and species to see.

“Corrigan is still accepting students. I had a very nice chat with Barbara Gordon to make sure.” He wasn’t backing down. Hell he was even floating.

“Well I still have to pack.”

“Already done.” Four large bags outlined in glowing light floated into the room. They plopped down as the light disappeared. Of course his dad had packed the bags. Kyle Rayner was nothing if not persistent.

“Okay…” He paused and stood up trying to think of something else that could change his dad’s mind. “How am I supposed to learn to control the rest of the emotional spectrum on Earth?”

“The only other emotion you’re learning here is sloth, and they don’t make a ring for that.” Logan let out an exasperated sigh. He wasn’t getting out of this. “Look on the bright side, Uncle John works there. You haven’t seen him in years.”

“Dad, Uncle John is a freaking gym coach.”

“No, he’s the head gym coach. He got promoted.”

“Fine.” Logan sighed again, this time a little less dramatically. Within a few minutes he was dressed and the two were flying away from Oa. His dad had offered to let him stop at Seranna’s house to say goodbye but she had broken up with him a few weeks ago.

Before long the emerald planet was lightyears away.

| NOTES: |

-

• He usually doesn’t have his ring on and activated. He keeps it in his pocket and is very efficient at arming himself when the need arises.
• He’s the new kid and doesn’t know anybody yet.
• He attended the Lantern academy on Oa until he transferred to Corrigan because his father thought he should “experience Earth”
• He is normally pretty humble but has no problem talking about all the places he has been and seen. It might seem like bragging to some. He even spent a month on Ysmault, the home world of the Red Lanterns. (Though he hated every minute of it… maybe that was the point.)
• appearance

  
• That’s basically what he looks like except with a slight blue color to his skin and dark purple eyes.
• He likes to dress up and usually wears a shirt and tie simply because he has been told he looks good in it.

@Vandy You never posted your CS in the CS thread.

@Divine Darkness

Really? Oops.

Star Wars: The 417th Legion (Dead)

Will there be any Sith for the Jedi to fight after we break through the blockades?

@Shard

No actual Sith. During this time the Sith order practiced the "Rule of Two" which stated that there was only ever two Sith, the Master and the apprentice. That being Sidious (Palpatine) and Count Dooku. They did have force sensitive assassins (Ventress) or other lightsaber using generals (Greivous) so yeah I can make someone up for the Jedi to fight. Since we are fighting the Banking Clan maybe a Muun force sensitive general trained by Dooku to use a lightsaber.

<Snipped quote by Vandy>

Thinking on this, would there be any Airborne or Recon troops on the ground already? I am curious about how the actual landing will work.

At the moment Jiyan doesn't have a Padawan, so do we have a plan to integrate my Padawan when he/she/it arrives? It could either be a new Padawan assigned to me or there would need to be a reason for the delay.

@Vhagar

None of our troops are on the ground yet. We'll be landing the infantry Battalions first. Once we get a foothold or link up with the Resistance the Recon/Airborne troops will be sent out to scout the two major bases that we will be attacking. (Ord Mantell City and the Matellian Droid Factory)

If you don't have a Padawan by the time we start you can always just say they are newly assigned. They could even show up on Ord Mantell when you first meet them like how Anakin met Ahsoka on Christophsus.

@Vandy Sorry, hadn't had time to work on it. Exams have kept me a bit stressed, but they end tomorrow so hopefully I can begin working on my sheet full-time tomorrow (If I man not too tired that is)

@Mortarion

That's fine, exams start for me pretty soon too.

Star Wars: The 417th Legion (Dead)

Depends on if there would be enemy ships near the planet, if not, blue squadron would probably be doing bombing runs.

@bluetommy2

You've got quite the blockade to help the Red Draigon break through.
