Arkai and Morridin: The Exiles

[Darth Xenus]

Ok, this is a story continuation from an rp in the jedi knight forum called 'Remnant', which is about the surviving jedi of order 66 gathering together on a planet far from the Empire. Arkai is a former jedi master who left the order after learning that they intended to hide away until the galaxy began to rebel against Palpatine. Arkai saw that by doing this they would be further serving Palpatine's goal of destroying the jedi: for a jedi who won't act is just as good as a dead jedi. An apprentice at the new jedi temple, Morridin, agreed with Arkai's ideas and the two of them left the order to continue the work of the jedi wherever it is needed most, beginning on the criminal moon of Nar Shadaa...

 

The positions of Arkai and Morridin have already been taken, I'm going to be Arkai and Royal Guardian is Morridin. If you wish to join in please post your character profile as follows:

 

Name: Arkai Santarna

Gender: male

Species: Kel Dor

Age: 63

Occupation: pilot, former jedi master

Weapon(s): green single blade lightsaber (which is mostly kept hidden) and a very old blaster pistol he picked up on the trip to Nar Shadaa

Appearance: his face is obscured by the breath mask and goggles that all Kel Dor must wear when not on their homworld, he is of average height and usually wears a black pilot's suit with a red spiral pattern on the back

Short history: After losing his apprentice to Imperial stormtroopers and fleeing to the new jedi temple, Arkai has since left the jedi order shortly after being named to the jedi council. He has taken his new apprentice, Morridin, and the two of them have travelled to Nar Shadaa aboard a spice freighter in order to try and help those who live there.

 

The rp will start when we have a few more people.

Moradin was seperated from Jyrnus when Jyrnus travelled to Bos Pity to help with the battle. Moradin was stuck on Courscant. During The Great Purge, Moradin's master was killed. After discovering the news, Moradin stole a Jedi Starfighter from the temple and escaped to Solace.

(Ok, we're just starting now anyway, if you want to join in you can still do so)

 

As Arkai stepped off the battered freighter that he and Morridin had just travelled upon, he reflected that he should have kept his promise never to come back again. Nar Shaddaa really IS a hell-hole. But putting such thoughts out of his mind, he turned to his new apprentice and said:

 

"We'll need to find somewhere to stay, and somewhere to work as well. Food doesn't come free when you aren't living the cosy little life in the Jedi Temple. Ironic isn't it? The Jedi are sworn to serve and protect the inhabitants of the galaxy, and yet they make sure that they keep the best of everything to themselves..."
