STAR WARS: ERA OF DARKNESS

4000 BBY

 

Jedi Master Sidrona Diath has just been

elected Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic

Republic. While the galaxy is still threatened

by several bands of rogue Sith, it is a

relatively peaceful time.

 

Exactly eleven months before, the planet

Jaru'un was reduced into little more than

space dust. While many of the Republic's

leading scientists have investigated the

phenomenon, there are many theories about

what caused the incident, ranging from

unusual elements in the core, to an unknown

type of space storm.

 

However, one week after his instatement as

Chancellor, Master Diath received a message...

 

This is an RP set in 4000 BBY, about a group of Jedi who investigate an imminent threat from a group of Sith. More details will be revealed as the story progresses. (And yes, there is a background.) Sorry, you can't be from the group of Sith. You can, however, be a Dark Force user, and tag along with the Jedi later in the story, if you absolutely must. However, it's going to be rather hard to get them to trust you.

 

 

CHARACTER SHEET

 

Name:

Title: (if applicable)

Gender:

Species:

Age:

Alignment:

Faction:

Place of Origin:

 

Appearance:

Weapons:

Additional Items:

 

Lightsaber Hilt:

Lightsaber Color:

Master:

Apprentice:

Force Class: (Guardian, Sentinel, or Consular)

Force Powers: (Guardian=5, Sentinel=7, Consular=10) Keep in mind, we are JEDI, not SITH. Choose these wisely, as these are the only ones you will be able to use (aside from Sense and minor telepathy and precognition, which are pretty much universal. You can also Pull your lightsaber even if you don't have Pull listed as a power. I know having every Force Power in the universe is awfully fun, but restricting it like this will help illustrate the differences between the characters, and make the RP a lot better.).

 

Attributes:

- STR:

- DEX:

- CON:

- INT:

- WIS:

- CHR:

 

 

----------

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS ON THE ATTRIBUTE SYSTEM (READ CAREFULLY)

 

In order to determine your attribute points, follow these rules. Each class starts out with a different number of base attributes. You then add 30 more attribute points in whichever categories you think necessary to improve your character.

 

Guardians start with:

- STR: 15

- DEX: 15

- CON: 15

- INT: 10

- WIS: 10

- CHR: 10

 

Sentinels start with:

- STR: 12

- DEX: 12

- CON: 12

- INT: 10

- WIS: 10

- CHR: 10

 

Consulars start with:

- STR: 10

- DEX: 10

- CON: 10

- INT: 10

- WIS: 10

- CHR: 10

 

Normal people start with:

- STR: 11

- DEX: 11

- CON: 11

- INT: 11

- WIS: 11

- CHR: 11

 

STR determines the strength of your character. This helps in melee combat. The stronger you are, the easier it is to break through saber locks, pound away an opponent's defenses, etc.

 

DEX determines the agility and speed of your character. This naturally helps you to dodge in melee combat. It also helps when using long-range weapons.

 

CON determines how tough your character is. The higher this attribute is, the better you will be at resisting poisons, etc. Also, the tougher you are, the harder you are to take down.

 

INT is, well, intelligence. A high score in this will help you resist most mind-based Force Powers, and be better at hacking computers, figuring out technology, etc.

 

WIS mostly affects Force Powers. The higher your WIS is, the better you are at using the Force.

 

CHA is a measure of your eloquence. The higher this is, the better you will be able to convince people. It also helps somewhat with using mind-trick related Force Powers.

 

 

----------

 

 

Well, now that that's over with, if you're still confused, have no fear. I shall demonstrate how to create a character at once. If you still have questions after this, I will be most pleased to satisfy your curiosity.

 

Name: Narthen Severus - This is rather self-explanatory.

Title: Jedi Master - This is rather self-explanatory as well.

Gender: Male - This had better be self-explanatory.

Species: Human - What kind of creature are you?

Age: 37 - How old are you?

Alignment: Light - Do keep in mind, if you're with the Jedi, you must be Light, or at least mostly so. If you're someone they meet on the way, you can be another alignment.

Faction: Jedi - With whom is your affiliation? Republic? Jedi? Yourself? Tell us.

Place of Origin: Coruscant - And where do you come from?

 

Appearance: Put a picture or a description.

Weapons: Lightsaber, the Force - What do you prefer to fight with? And no, you can't have a Death star. Sorry.

Additional Items: Datapad, small toolkit - Anything to declare?

 

Lightsaber Hilt: Curved electrum-plated hilt - Is it standard, curved, double? You can get into as much description as you want.

Lightsaber Color: Yellow-Green - I think you'll be able to figure this one out on your own.

Master: Sieenath Kll'kow - Who trained/is training you?

Apprentice: Scev N'sal - Who are you training, if anyone?

Force Class: Sentinel - I want the character to be fairly balanced.

Force Powers: Art of the Small, Telekinesis, Force Illusion, Force Defense/Absorb/Deflect, Force Travel, Alter Environment, Mind Trick - Since I'm a Sentinel, I can choose 7 Force Powers. Try to stick to canon, please.

 

Attributes: I start out with the base Sentinel attributes and add 30 points.

- STR: 12 + 2 = 14

- DEX: 12 + 7 = 19

- CON: 12 + 2 = 14

- INT: 10 + 7 = 17

- WIS: 10 + 10 = 20

- CHR: 10 + 2 = 12

 

And there you have it.

I wasn't gonna join, but the character sheet's thoroughness pulled me in :p

 

Name: Katya

Gender: Female

Species: Unknown (always mistaken for Human)

Age: Unknown (looks 25)

Alignment: Neutral

Faction: Whoever employs her at the time

Place of Origin: Unknown

 

Appearance: Shoulder-length brown hair always in a ponytail, violet eyes, 5' 9" in height. This tall, slender woman wears dark gray, flexible form-fitting clothing and her weapons belt.

Weapons: A lightsaber, a cortosis alloy sword, twin cortosis alloy knives

Additional Items: Lockpick device, safe cracker, security system disabler

 

Lightsaber Hilt: Upon first glance, the hilt of Katya's lightsaber appears to be a standard silver hilt with a dark brown leather grip. A closer examination will reveal strange etchings covering even the grip and small, colorful gems embedded in it.

Lightsaber Color: hazy green

 

Attributes:

- STR: 11+7=18

- DEX: 11+7=18

- CON: 11+7=18

- INT: 11+7=18

- WIS: 11+1=12

- CHR: 11+1=12

 

Additional Information

 

Katya is modeled in part after wildjedi's 'Crystal Grey'. She is not Force sensitive at all, and though she appears human, appearance is as far as the similarities go. She is both telepathic and telekinetic, which often causes people to assume she is Force sensitive and has had training, but this 'appearance' and her lightsaber are the only things that could possibly connect her to the Jedi.

 

As she looks human, Katya is often asked what her surname is, but she doesn't have one and is quick to point it out. Also, her 'additional items' would tend to suggest she gets hired to be a thief. On the contrary, she is a freelance spy and offers her services to anyone willing to pay. However, she does have a moral code by which she operates, so there are certain types of jobs she turns down.

 

Her current employer is the Republic, but the job they've requested of her is nearly complete. After that, she goes back 'on the market'.

Not really. Some Jedi (notably the Halcyons), were extremely weak with telekinetic abilities. So if you don't have them listed, you don't have them. One exception, though. Everybody can pull their lightsabers, because they have a unique kind of bond with the Jedi that built them (or whatever). You do have a type of speed, though it's not so much speed as slight precognition, which allows you to react faster. I never heard of a Force-Sensitive that didn't display this at one point. But stuff like Jump, Burst of Speed, etc., is not universal. If you don't know it, you were obviously learning something else. Everybody has a different focus. And it would be rather unfair to all the people that listed stuff like Jump and Speed if everyone suddenly had those abilities. You can still alter your profile if you want to have those powers, though.

 

Anyway, everyone's approved! This is working better than I expected. Thanks for joining. Now I'll go to work on the introduction post. :D

 

One question: RR2000, is your staff actually made from cortosis ore? Because that's extremely brittle, not resilient at all. If it was made from a cortosis alloy, it would be a lot more resilient and still resistant to energy, but it wouldn't short out lightsabers.

Dark_Lady, I want to make a few more details concerning my character a little clearer. First of all, Katya is modeled in part after wildjedi's 'Crystal Grey'. She is not Force sensitive at all, and though she appears human, appearance is as far as the similarities go. She is both telepathic and telekinetic, which often causes people to assume she is Force sensitive and has had training, but this 'appearance' and her lightsaber are the only things that could possibly connect her to the Jedi.

Hm? That's kinda sad, because I know for sure Force Jump is a Core ability, meaning most jedi know how to use it....watch the movies, all jedi use it, muah! ;P

 

Oh well, I guess when I jump away from a sudden attack at me, I'll get cut in half instead. :D

 

But seriously, don't worry about it, I could care less right now, I was just asking. :)

Dark_Lady, since Katya isn't a Jedi, she would not have been invited to the meeting. However, since she's just finishing up a job for the Republic, I was thinking I'd have her meet with the Chancellor before the Jedi meeting and then stick around (for reasons I haven't figured out yet).

 

Will that work with what you have planned?

 

 

Or perhaps, given Katya's success rate, would the Chancellor ask her to stay for the Jedi meeting?

Hmmm, yeah, you're one of those "I left the Order" people. Well, you could either drop by to say "hi," becasue someone you know just got appointed Chancellor, and be invited to join, or you could meet up with the party a little later and decide to help them.
