So, yeah. I've gone Star Wars. That means I'm now CnC:G/Halo/Battletech/Star Wars/original-tech. But anyways, I saw SW:AotS and I got an idea. What if there was a form of Force-followers that were kind of in-between the Sith and the Jedi?

So here's what I had in mind: A Sanghelli (Elite from Halo) Sith Lord has been training his son in the Dark Academy in Green Sun. His son is going through the books in a public library and spots a book on the Jedi and likes most of what he reads. He runs away from his father and teh Dark Side and starts to train to be a Jedi, but he longs for more. All the training in the Dark Side has made his lust for power strong, but his Jedi training tells him to do only what is best for others. Torn with emotions, he flees the Jedi acedemy and meditates for a while and forms his own section that studies both the powers of Dark and Light, pursuing both the power to grow your own powers but yet at the same time help others to your best. This is his story of the studies, the training, and the prejuce he faces.

Training: (Can be Jedi, Sith, Military, etc.)
Appearance:
Other stuff:

Now that is cool. Neutral force-users are the way to go. I'd make my guy one of them if he wasn't already a bit too in on the Jedi threads. Though I guess if there's a similar structure to Jedi/Sith, then I could change him.

Yeah.

So does that mean you're going to join?

Name: Narek
Birthplace: Muktar
Age: 17
Training: Self-taught force user
Appearance: Human of below average height and above average stock. He is developing coarse black facial hair, and his head hair is thick, black and straight. His eyes are brown, matching his natural tan from the forges of Muktar. He wields a blaster and carries three solid lead spheres.
Other stuff: Born on a planet normally devoid of force users, Narek's abilities quickly sent him into self-exile as a mercenary. During his spare time, he would develop his skills juggling lead spheres or pushing large objects around. He caught wind of a roguish force user who hasn't taken a side on the now apparent hostility between light and dark, and is now moving to look into it.

Narek lurched forward in his cockpit as his Outrider came out of hyperboost. He spotted the planet below, a small, isolated planet with little civilization.

The perfect place for an outcast to find a kindred spirit.

He quickly brough his fighter into orbit before receiving landing clearance. Bringing his ship about, he landed in the trade town he heard the fellow rogue was hiding. After paying for his docking fee, he unzipped the pouch holding his lead slugs and began looking for the fellow neutral aspect.

Yeah. Alright.

Now a master swordsman, Ansu has studied with many Jedi. Has a strong command of the force, but has in the past been forced to use his anger to survive a situation. Ansu knows of the corruption within the Republic, and has in past rejected the wishes of the Jedi Council.
Ansu was ejected from the Order six years ago after he and his Padawan, Keeva Tatiana (25), were married in a secret ceremony. The secret was not kept long, and both were exiled soon after its discovery.

Training: Former Jedi Knight
Appearance: Height: 6'3" Weight: 165 lbs. Build: muscular
Eye color: Dark Brown Hair color: Spiked, Red (as in red not the orange we call red in RL)
Other stuff: Looks kinda like Yunsung from Soul Calibur 2 only he's not Korean.

Kolte was once part of the Jedi Order in Megas, a knight who was soon to become a master. However he gave into temptation and cast out of the order. He was to marry, but 3 days before the marriage his fiance disappeared. After seven long years of wandering the galaxy, going from job to job (everything from bounty hunter to trader escort, and not the legitimate kind of traders) he ended up reuniting with his former master who was also cast from the order. Kolte soon discovered that his master was behind the plot that killed his fiance seven years before, saying that he did it to save Kolte. Kolte was outraged and killed his master, temporarily giving in to the Dark Side. After this ordeal he went back to his adopted lifestyle, finally having some closure. (to see this story check out the Festival of Fighters thread)

ive been looking for a character rp...

Name: K'aen-dor
Birthplace: Unknown
Age: Unknown
Training: Unknown
Appearance: Varied descriptions, ranging from an old man in robes to a 10 foot armoured demigod. Favoured description is around 6'4", heavy grey and white robes, indeterminable age and a strange stance. Usually hooded but several reports claim a dark grey goggled gas mask, equiped with an aquabreather and blue tinted eye lenses.
Other Stuff: Rumoured to live somewhere in the Hoth system, this mysterious figure is thought responsible for several missing Imperial Star Destroyers. Very little is known about him, but his origins seem to stretch to the very beginning of the Jedi Order. Reports and sightings indicate neutral force powers, but various Sith and Jedi exclusive powers have been noticed more than once. His latest known whereabouts were during the Imperial takeover of a distant ice-planet, where it is said that he stood on the highest peak and watched the planetary assault. In the opening attack two Star Destroyers veered into each other, leaving nothing but debris. Landed Troops spent weeks on end chasing shadows and ghosts, eventually going in circles before vanishing from all records. Of that battle alone, 67 fighters, 24 battle tanks, 6 transports and 249 soldiers are unaccounted for and assumed dead or to have joined the rebellion. The most famous recording depicts a battle tank being turned over onto several soldiers, and a robed man dropping from the cliff above and slaughtering the ill-equiped storm troopers with a blue lightsaber. An uncannily timed avalanche swept away reinforcements, and then the helmet-mounted camera is covered in snow.

I don't think that one would work since Green Sun doesn't have any Gungans...

Anyway, I'm starting the IC thread.

For thsoe involved with Mace Windu-
Your character must be very old. Mace Windu was killed during the Clone Wars. That was a long, long time ago.

Also, if you want multiple characters please don't go over two.
New character
Name: Darth Shiu
Birthplace: Green Sun
Age: 78
Training: Under "The Bringer", a powerful and mysterious being, rumored to be the Force itself...
Appearance: An aging old hobo with one blue eye and one yellow. Has a paper bag as a hat. Wears raggy clothes and an Islamic crescent.
Other stuff: Darth Shiu was a member of the Parliament. After the Jedi master was found, also known as General Lucas, he revealed himself as a Jedi. He founded the Jedi academy, gathering most of the teachers there. His old girlfriend from High school called him up and asked him to marry her. He couldn't believe it and was overwhelmed with emotion. The other Jedi Masters sensed it and asked him to leave. He did so, keeping his ties with the Jedi. He has three children and lived happily. Eventually his family was attacked by Neo Black Sun while traveling to Earth and he lost them. He grew angry and was consumed by the Dark Side. He founded the Sith Academy in Green Sun City and ran it as the Dean, but he found he still liked helping others as a Jedi. Torn with emotions, he left the Sith and converted to Neo-Islam, which is a large religion that is based off of Islamic beliefs.

green sun, can you give me an idea of jedi/sith% in your nation, and whether this is confined to your nation/planet?

Green Sun has more Sith than Jedi, mainly because they have more money and more power in the Government.

3,000 Sith: 2,500 Jedi
This number is not absolute, but relative. We can't record them all!

Name: Loq
Birthplace: Unknown
Age: Unknown
Training: Random Training around the Galaxy
Appearance: Think Yoda but several hundred years younger
Other stuff: Loq is the genetic clone of Yoda made from genetic material obtained from his little soup bowls on Dagobah by Luke Skywalker shortly after the fall of Darth Vader. He uses force powers of both the Jedi and the Sith. He has now landed on Green Sun in his hopes to find some purpose.

Okay, new rule:
Your characters are NOT to be related to ANY original Star Wars Character in ANY WAY unless they're their great-great-great-great-great grandkid or something. Star Wars happened a LONG LONG time ago!

Green Sun, let me know if you feel I'm controlling your citizens too much.

So where exactly are you headed with this RP? (just curious) If you don't want to reveal your intentions to the world just TG me.

Where'd ev'rybody go?

I'm in RP limbo, waiting for Shiu to drop me off at the hospital. Supernatural social upheavels tend to be noticed by the Force-sensitive, and the reshaping of a solar system has its impacts too.

It's rather boring to duel someone who doesn't respond at all.

Rephrase of last post:

Where the hell's Concremo?!?

I'm assuming I got dropped off at the hospital, then? Or was it just forgotten that I was unconcious on Shiu's shoulder?

What if there was a form of Force-followers that were kind of in-between the Sith and the Jedi?


just so you know there are three types of force users

1. Jedi all good only Jedi powers and only Jedi code
2. Sith same as the Jedi but only Sith powers and only Sith code
3. Dark Jedi thay have the basic idea of helping others but use both Jedi and Sith powers

shot discriptions but i think you'll get the idea

Actually there are many, many more Force using groups out their...here's a link to a great web page:

http://theforce.jaymach.com/index.php

As you can see, there are the Aiki Jedi, and there's groups like the original Sith race before fallen Jedi mixed with them and the Ewok Shamans, who mistake their Force powers for magic. Also, Dark Jedi would be more appropriately described as neutral Force users, neither light nor dark, as is my character Kolte.

So Ageaol, where's Loq gonna lead Kolte?

Is it to late to join? If not

Name: F'nor
Birthplace: Imperia ((Tsurani home world))
Age: 24

Other stuff: He is from a Older Family, that can trace its Lieniage back to the Old empire, although only slightly, one of the only families with this claim. Family has more then Thirty of its members within the Emperors Service.

Yes, I will make sure its ok to join before I do.

Hey Lessir Tsurani whats up!

I don't think it's too late to join but your right you better make sure through Green Sun.

So........................................ is anything going to start or... what?

So........................................ is anything going to start or... what?
We're hoping to start some sort of Jedi-Sith war, then sit back and laugh at the chaos and destruction...but we need more time...

Or perhaps everybody's just going to abandon the RP...

Bump aaaand...

As soon as Hasu enrolls in the Jedi academy, Halo will plan an assault on the Jedi, supported by the Government. This attack will actually have an effect on Green Sun, so if another allied FT butts in, let them.

I figured that's what your overall plan was, the only problem is that many people don't post anymore...

True. It does seem to be mainly me and you. DAMMIT PEOPLE POST! THIS IS MY LONGEST-RUNNING RP YET! DON'T RUIN THIS FOR ME! This is a good RP that is important to my FT nation!

Xavier sat in his ship relaxing. There were rumors flying around of a massive Sith attack on the Jedi. Xavier wondered how many time he had heard these rumors and nothing had happened. What was diffrent this time.......

Hey Megas, I would love to join this RP with Xander since we brought him back to life, but it just wouldn't be reasonable. He would be in his early sixties at this point if it takes place ten years after the Conception, and judging from Kolte's bio on this, he hasn't really kept in close contact with Xander in those ten years........

I'm sorry; I'm being rude by just bull rushing the thread like this. I am a good friend of Megas on NationStates and in RL, and I am RP'ing as Kolte's former master in the Conception thread right now. After Xander dies at Kolte's hand, he fades into the Force only to realize that he has somehow managed to retain his identity, and through a short series of events, is ressurrected by Kolte through his knowledge of Sith necromancy...and that's where I am in that RP. If we can work out the details, I'd love to join this RP, so I'll post a bio below just in case.

Name: Xander Voltare
Age: Early to Mid Sixties
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 200 lbs
Hair: Gray going on White, Shoulder Length
Eyes: Brown
Force Side: Neutral, Former Jedi Master, Kolte Savren's former Master
Combat Style: Ambiguous, will transition through several different styles to fit the need, or to simply confuse his opponent mid-duel

Thats all I got right now because I'm caught up in the Conception thread, so I may not be able to join in even if Green Sun lets me, I'll have to see what happens at the end of the Conception thread, because right now Xander and Kolte are together just trying to survive after ressurrecting Xander.

Xavier sat in his ship relaxing. There were rumors flying around of a massive Sith attack on the Jedi. Xavier wondered how many time he had heard these rumors and nothing had happened. What was diffrent this time.......
Silly n00b...this is the OOC thread, follow the link on page 1 to the IC thread, that's where everything's happening...

Due to the lack of people in the RP currently, I don't think Green Sun would have a problem with your joining, Nax. But to be sure why don't you TG him?

I've got more info on Xander for this RP. After the Conception, Xander returned to his home planet of Naxderia in the Empire of Naxder Drol, and entered into the services of the Naxderian Jedi Council as a mercenary who would go out on missions that the Jedi wanted to keep off the records. During those ten years he has had time to study many Dark Side abilities and to even develop a few new powers because of his unique rebirth, including his enhanced astro-projection, which allows him to project himself or even other objects and sentient beings into the astral plane.

So, when Kolte starts training Hasu, are we gonna accelerate time or something?

Aight, I know how to bring Xander into the RP: He's just gonna crash into it. Literally. His shuttle will be in critical condition and be forced to crash land in Green Sun. He will pull an OB1 and Force-Leap from the shuttle mere seconds before it blows up and will break his ribs when he lands on his back. He'll then make his way to the Jedi Temple and will meet Kolte there after about ten years or so...

Sounds good to me. Kolte's going to be very reluctant to Xander being involved with what he's doing, though. Kolte's very different from the Kolte in FoF and The Conception, mainly because for the past ten years he's been working as a mercenary/bounty hunter with his older brother, Locke, and some other NGD's. Working on an RP involving them, Nax, will tell you more later. Back to my point, don't know if you plan on making Xander the same kind of wise old dude he was in FoF and TC, but Kolte's definitely not gonna give him a warm welcome.

Like I said, Xander will have entered into the services of the Naxderian Jedi Order as a mercenary, and has embraced his role as a rouge Force-Adept, and uses Dark Side and ancient Sith powers. He's become cynical, paranoid, and an all around (insert nasty adjective that sounds like a popular sport fish)

Um...that was a...uh...*creative?* way to not say an expletive...

Sounds like the old Xander's back as well, the one that Kolte killed. Will be very interesting. . .

I have no objection to your joining. It's going to be hard enough for Kolte to get into teh Jedi Academy. It will probably be even harder for Xander to get in, FYI

why will it be difficult for Xander?

He did train as a Sith for a while, did he not? They would sense that.

He's never actually trained as a Sith, though he has studied and learned the Dark Arts. Several times he fell to the Dark Side, but he has never been a Sith. Now he is a rouge Force-Adept who balances the Light, Neutral, and Dark Sides.

Sounds like the New Force will have quite the number of founders.

Hope this isn't closed-ish yet, really annoying when that happens (It always seems to come up when I am typing in my character stuff, so I am going to save the backstory for later)

Name: Jolis Taen
Birthplace: Aekir (the capital of Akeiraon)
Age: 36
Training: Ex-military, skilled with many styles of hand to hand combat, including martial arts and swordplay/saberfighting, Self taught force-user. (More like just figured out how to use it than taught himself about it, mostly skilled in the dark side of the spectrum)
Appearance: He is around 6'5", covered in scars from long forgotten battles, with deep gray eyes that are filled with hatred for the people he left behind in the Aekiraoni military. His black hair is shoulder length and he has no beard or moustache. He wears his "energy-blade" (Its disticintevely different from a saber in the way the energy is focused, it uses a complex system of lenses and energy fields as opposed to crystals, though the function is basically the same) on his side and a magnetic bolter pistol (Think a mini-railgun) in a holster concealed on his boot.
Combat Style: Very acrobatic and quick yet agressive and powerful at the same time, focuses just about everything on offense, for, afterall, who needs defense when they can have the enemy dead on their feet in seconds?...

Alright, enough of that, I'm heading off to bed...

Aekiraon, how is Jolis gonna work into the RP?

So, when Kolte starts training Hasu, are we gonna accelerate time or something?
How do you want to do this, GS?

Questions? Comments? Any "GS, you're an annoying f*cktard" comments?

Dark Jedi are what you're talking about. Jedi that are obviously not light, however are not Sith, because there can only be two Sith at one time.

That being said, I think the character you discribed is already "dark," and you're almost describing Anakin's character. Anakin never really wanted to hurt other people, or even kill the Jedi. It was his lust for power and his fear of losing Padme that turned him, and once he went dark he never went back until Luke appeared and his values shifted.

All of the Jedi at this academy would turn to the dark side, simply because they are tempted. There would be no way of controlling it. They would be tempted...and they would give in...

Don't get me wrong...I'm not saying that you can't do this or anything, but I'm just giving you my take on it.

You would think, but that's actually not true. When Yoda says that the 'Sith are always 2', he ment for every master there is an apprentice, and vice-versa, much like the Jedi. Besides, how do you know that they aren't from the Ancient Sith Race? You don't.

Anyone that knows enough about SW tech and/or characters to make an RP about them, knows that already. Thank you for stating the obvious.

Or not, Anakin gave in because he never truly learned to control his emotions, because he began his training too late in his childhood, because he knew his mother who was killed, the list goes on. Your average Jedi never knew their parents, they were usually taken around the Terran age of 2-4. Anakin was around 8-10, which means he had plenty of memories of his mom...

Don't get me wrong...I'm not saying that you can't do this or anything, but I'm just giving you my take on it.
Which is completely naive and close-minded...no offense, but when you go critiquing like that, try to be right next time...

um...I was just giving an opinion...but since you had to go and make it personal...

Yoda said, and it is common knowledge across the SW community and said by GL himself, that there are only EVER two Sith in the modern Sith..er.."community". This is to prevent the Sith from running around stabbing each other in the back. No where is it said that this means that there's only one master to one apprentice. When flaming me, why don't you try to be right? As for the ancient sith race, they were insects or something.

Anakin obviously gave in because of Padme. He was afraid of Padme dying and him being unable to do anything about it, like what happened with his mother. Therefore, he was willing to do whatever it took to learn that mystical power of preventing people from dying. Yes he was too old, but that's not the main reason. Go watch EpIII again, the whole movie is about Anakin being afraid to lose Padme.

...and finally, my opinion is hardly "naive and close-minded" considering that you completely missed the main point of Episode III and have to resort to EU to defend your opinions.

Steel Butterfly, because of your posts previously made in International Incidents, you are hardly welcome here. Please do not post in this thread or in any of my other threads.

Anyway, Halo taught Hasu the powers of the Sith. At the point in his life, he is not powerful enough or old enough to truely comprehend the powers of the Sith, or their way of controlling the Force. His strong emotions about his father and Shiu would be his closest ticket to the Dark Side, but the hard-working Green Sun Jedi would clear that cloud.

OK, according to yours and apparently the rest of the SW community's interpretation of what Yoda ment by that comment, Yoda was wrong. There's never in any SW timeline been only two Sith. I was trying to give the little critter the benefit of the doubt by assuming he ment the two as in master and apprentice pairs. My point is, that point is WRONG.

I understand that perfectly, that's why I said 'the list goes on'...but I don't wish to debate this point anymore because its obvious that we agree here.

I never intended on it being personal, I'm sorry that it came out that way. I don't wish to argue or to flame, only to make sure that everyone knows that what GS is doing in this RP is perfectly acceptable in the SW universe.

To end the flame war: The actual Sith were an ancient primitive race that was overtaken by a group of dark Jedi who established themselves as the Dark Lords of the Sith. The Sith used to exist in numbers in the thousands. Through years of war with the Jedi, the Republic, and themselves, their numbers dwindled. Inner conflict tore apart the Order. Darth Bane, in the best interest of keeping the Order alive, established the Order of Two. Forever more there were to be only two Sith Lords: a master and an apprentice. The master would find an apprentice, train him/her, and then the apprentice would, with time, kill the master and take on an apprentice of their own...the cycle would continue. Darth Sidious and Darth Maul at the time of Episode I are the only two Sith in the entire galaxy. Darth Maul is replaced by Darth Tyranus, who is replaced by Darth Vader. Darth Vader, of course, kills Darth Sidious and himself, breaking the Rule of Two and ending the Sith Order, thus bringing balance to the Force and fulfilling the prophecy of him being the Chosen One. To sum up: there was only two Sith Lords at any given time after the Rule of Two was established. Remember that a dark Jedi is different than a Sith.

Name: Dawn Arash
Sex: Female
Birthplace: Alatsar, Lisera, UEC
Age: 24
Training: She's a follower of the Potentium.
Appearance: Shoulder length black hair that is pinned on the sides of her face and hangs in layers. Striking green eyes that catch your attention and seem to bear into you. A modified tunic the color of beach sand makes up most of her attire with a sleeveless plastoid over-armor her chest and is cut off above her naval. A lone shimmering blue lightsaber is fastened her black belt.
Other stuff: She was smuggled away from the United Empire at the tender age of three to safeguard her from the lurking hands of the Sith. Brought to the watery world of Dileen, she was trained in the arts of the Jedi by Jedi Knight Sorsu Flax. Flax and young Arash became stranded on Dileen and the Jedi Council of Coruscant persumed them to be dead. In time, Sorsu fell to the hands of pirates when Dawn was a mere fifteen. Possessed of raw Force power and great potential, Dawn took it as her responsibility to complete her training by herself. She has morphed herself into a student of the Potentium, the alternate view of the Force that deems that there is no dark or light side and establishes that the Force exists only for self-indulgence and self-gain. She walks a dangerous path on the dark side because of this.

Darth Bane, in the best interest of keeping the Order alive, established the Order of Two. Forever more there were to be only two Sith Lords: a master and an apprentice. The master would find an apprentice, train him/her, and then the apprentice would, with time, kill the master and take on an apprentice of their own...the cycle would continue. Darth Sidious and Darth Maul at the time of Episode I are the only two Sith in the entire galaxy. Darth Maul is replaced by Darth Tyranus, who is replaced by Darth Vader. Darth Vader, of course, kills Darth Sidious and himself, breaking the Rule of Two and ending the Sith Order, thus bringing balance to the Force and fulfilling the prophecy of him being the Chosen One. To sum up: there was only two Sith Lords at any given time after the Rule of Two was established. Remember that a dark Jedi is different than a Sith.
This is only correct if the SW continuum only considers the movies. According to other source material (that is produced by LucasArts), there was actually another Sith Lord during the entire 6 movies, who does not reveal himself until after the given 6. This is in one of the books written about the New Republic, I forget which one.

Even so, the constitution of Green Sun states that every child must be given a fair, equal, and full education of at least the basics. So, to expand their power, the Sith started the Academy to give apprentices a full education on the Force and the basic education structure made by Green Sun government. And in order to function legally as a militia to have legal power as a group, they have to have more than 500 members. The Royal Family is full of do-gooders, so they wouldn't let the Sith take control of teh government if it were mere individuals.

Lucasfilm considers the EU to only be cannon if it does not contradict points made in the films as the movies are considered the ultimate height of cannon in the continiuty. Any game or book comes second to the films (hence why things like Boba Fett's EU origins were erased by Episode II). There are only two Sith at a time after the Rule of Two is set up.

I knew the arguements would break out eventually, it is inevitable when dealing with Star Wars in any way shape or form, and so if someone should decide to disagree with me at any time, feel free to do so, because I accept that as a part of being a SW fan and RPer.

That being said, I am going to lay down Xander's powers. He is skilled in many Sith techniques, and many of his powers come from Geomancy, Cryomancy, Pyromancy, and a host of others, including the basics like Force-Lightning, TK, levitation, and astro-projection. Now, for a more detailed analysis...

Geomancy: Sinkhole- this one is pretty self explainitory. Xander can create a sink hole of up to 10 meters wide and 10 feet deep.

Cryomancy: Crystallize- Xander can fire a super-cooled bolt of energy at his opponent which crystallizes his foe at the cellular level. 100% fatal if it hits, though it can be blocked by a master Force-Adept

Pyromancy: Abyssal Fire- Megas has already explained this one in character.
Pyrokinetic Kill- Xander can telekinetically send someone up in dark flames which can only be doused by the Force. This power doesn't work on Light Adepts and Xander hasn't mastered it yet.

It works only on Light and Neutral adepts, because the flames consist purely of the Dark Side of the Force, making them harmless to any Dark Sider. Also, the only way to douse them, as Nax said, is with the Force; however, they can only be doused if the target is stronger in the Force than the user. Pretty bad-ass spell, huh?

No prob, check your TG's.

oh dude, I came up with an awesome saber trap move that would force Xander's opponent to yield or lose vital parts of their anatomy. Basically, he rushes his opponent when they are holding their saber with both hands and grabs their wrists with his free hand and jerks them toward him. He then extinguishes his own saber, punches it through the loop made by the opponents arms, reactivates the saber and forces the opponents saber back. If the opponent tries to fight back, they would have to let go of the saber. If they try to slice Xander's arms, Xander would just beat them to the punch. Hopefully you can visualize what I'm trying to describe...

Interesting...quite the finishing move isn't it?

...or they could evade it entirely by side-stepping him or, better yet, Force-pushing him to the ground. A skilled swordsman would never allow an opponent to make a move to grab their wrists.

Your quite right, but even the most skilled of swordsmen will tire after a battle will Xander, and he would never use that move unless his opponent is too tired to counter in time. Xander is a master swordsman who has only ever lost one lightsaber duel, and that was to Kolte when he fell to the Dark Side ten years ago for a brief period. He was literally deranged enough for that brief period that Kolte was able to defeat him by cutting his saber hand off, and then cutting him in two. He finished the job by impaling Xander with his own saber. Kolte helped resurrect Xander, and since then Xander has mastered Forms III and IV, having already been a Form II master. Just to give you an idea of what kind of skill Xander has.

alright, where are we going with the rp right now? Xander is in his room staring out the window, lost in his own thoughts. Kolte is also in his room, trying to figure out how to read his application. As for everyone else, only Green Sun knows...

Name: Kean Ardaac (Key-ann Are-dack)
Sex: Male
Birthplace: Isla Larga, UEC
Age: 31
Training: Dark Jedi
Appearance: Short brown hair. Green eyes. Angular jaw. Perfers to wear all black, but often seen in ash gray. Two lightsabers (red and green), the green of which he stole from his Jedi Master after he killed him.
Other stuff: He was taken by the Jedi from the shores of Isla Larga, a small island off the coast of Colerican coast at near infancy when his Force powers were first noticed by Jedi Master ShoRarr Doshnur. Master Doshnur adopted Kean as his apprentice and taught him the ways of the Jedi. On a humanitarian mission to Belsitc'dagzuum, a world ravaged by famine and disease, then eighteen year-old Kean came in contact with a holocron left by renegade Jedi and wanted fugitive, Syne. Kean became enamored by the message and teachings encased within the holocron and sought out Syne, eager to learn more of the ways of the dark side. Syne came to him and persuaded Kean to betray the Jedi, allowing for Syne's escape when a group of Jedi, led by Master Doshnur, were sent to arrest him in his castle at Vexlar VI. Kean drew his sword against ShoRar and attacked his own master. Syne assisted Kean and slew Master Doshnur. Together, they escaped into open space. Years later, Syne fell victim to a poisoning, the crafty work of rogue Potentium follower, Dawn Arash, who had been exacting revenge on Syne for an assassination Syne had ordered against a friend of hers. Without Syne to guide him, Kean fell deeper into the whirlwind of the dark side. He seeks a teacher and an affiliation he can call his family.
