Through the wonders of the mind of Dastardly Stench and yours truly, a new Jedi RP has been devised. Storyline goes as follows:

Sith Lord finds ancient artifact that has untold power, but doesn't fully understand it. There are clues all around the galaxy about the artifact and where to find it. The Sith Lord and his apprentice go out to search for clues as to the artifacts powers so that they can control the galaxy. While the Jedi find out about this and try to find the whereabouts of the artifact and the Sith Lord, via finding the clues to the artifacts whereabouts. And blah blah blah, writes itself.

So basically, make up a character, either Jedi or Sith, and we can start. I will be the Sith Lord and will take a few people as my apprentices.

Biography is located here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9876139&postcount=2) at the bottom. (Currently he is at the time period directly before the 2nd to last paragraph)

If you have any questions or comments, please ask. He is no longer a jedi nor a sith.

can i join 2?

this is my character....

Sure, and I suspect that you want me to give you a Sith name too? Like would be custom?

just a note... Sith only have one apprentice at any time (The Rule of Two)

Tis true, but I'm not going to have thirty Jedi against two Sith. So it could be like Sith Lords with their apprentices too or something, all under me of course.;)

Hmm, once I tried something like this.

For the record, my name is "Jeff," I also "own" the nation of Marionetonia, and I'm just a moron with a mensa card.

Characters:

Name: The Metal Man

Age: Approximately 300 years

Race: Cybernated Human (Brain in a Jar w/interchangable mechanical bodies)

Allegiance: Jedi

Rank: His nature causes him to be "Anti-Force." The Force simply does not work around him the way it does around others. Therefor, he is an Adjunct Instructor, but not a Master. The Jedi find it occasionally useful to have among them someone who can "shut down" The Force, even partially.

Weapon: Extensible Sword contained in each forarm with monocrystal diamond/laser system that can cut through almost anything; adjustible plasma blasters located in forarms and extending from inside shoulders. Also has a force field and cloaking, levitation and communcation facilities in his standard suit. Different "suits" have different configurations--and, lest I be accused of ubering, different defects. Was cybernated against his will and escaped. An AI that activated when he escaped prevents him from using his weapons systems except under the most dire of circumstances. This does not prevent him from being able to wield a light sabre, though he does not carry one.

* A Theodore is a vampire who, through Great Pennance, has become partly human. When his transformation to human is complete, he will die of old age. "Theodore" means "Gift from God." It serves to remind him that whatever powers that be there are--call it "God," "The Force," WHATEVER--have given him an opportunity that most never have. He is a Holy Man in the Ways of the Force.


** Because they are reflective, the sword passes right through a light saber, and the shield reflects one back upon its wielder.

Corenos and Meritos: May I ask if this is your first RP?

Yeah, how can you tell? Did I already mess something up? lol

Yeah, how can you tell? Did I already mess something up? lol

No, just your post count. (Unfortunately I have been in a few RPs recently in which there were lots of new RPers; They were constantly God Modding and had terrible writing styles. Though I hope that won't happen here...)

name: Hachiro Kogarashi
age: 23
race: Human
allegiance: Ex-Jedi
rank: "Exile"
weapon: 2 slugthrower pistols

background info: Hachiro was once a Jedi, but was kicked out of the Order for breaking various sections of the Jedi code. The minor sections that don't really matter, but he broke the code so much, along with the fact that he constantly disrespected the higher-ranking Jedi, that the Order got him kicked out anyway. He is now a bounty hunter. He retains his connection to the Force, although it is very weak, and uses it often on his jobs.

He and The Metal Man would get along well. TMM isn't much of one to hang on ceremony, and doesn't mind sharing knowledge rather than getting too deep into the teacher/student thing.

yeah, this is my first 1. as to my name, this might sound amateur but could it be one of the clues?
the 30 jedi 2 sith thing could just mean we kick some ass as far as skills are conserned?

The Tin Man again!

Anyways, yay for all the sign-ups. Sorry for taking so long to get back to this, christmas meant new computer, and new computer meant new high-tech games, and new high-tech games means less time spent on net and more time playing games. Anyways, it's all good, if more people want to sign up feel free, while the rest of you keep an eye out for the actual thread which should start sometime this week.

The Tin Man again!

The name has been changed to protect the uncopyrighted (me!) from those who have them.

The Metal Man.

when r we gonna start?

I just sent a telegram to DS giving him my idea on how to start this thing, so as soon as he okays it we will start.

If its not to late to sign up.

Allegiance: Sith
Rank: Sith Lord

Note: Lazarus's gray lightsaber is a freeform lightsaber. Lazarus used to be a Jedi Knight before turning to the Dark Side so he knows some Jedi powers.


Basically the freeform lightsaber is a lightsaber where the wielder can manipulate the size and shape of the blade. If he really wanted to, he could make the blade look like a chain or a kite. Of course it can't exceed its total maximum surface area.

I have never heard of this type of lightsaber before and based on the physics and designs of lightsabers, it seems impossible.

I just sent a telegram to DS giving him my idea on how to start this thing, so as soon as he okays it we will start.

I think we have something.

Could anybody tell me what the name of the thread is? If you do, I can even write an initial post that describes the setting. It would go something like this:

Delta Phangees was a strange star system. Usually, the two stars of a binary system were of different sizes, sometimes even different stellar generations. Not so for Delta Phangees. Two dim white stars circled a center point so perfectly that one would almost think that there was some artifice involved. Also, the stars weren't very bright, but they spilled massive amounts of heat into the surrounding space, leaving three planets in their habitable zone, dimly-lit but easily able to support life. All of this led to the name that starfarers called them: the phantom twins.


How's that for an opening paragraph?

I have never heard of this type of lightsaber before and based on the physics and designs of lightsabers, it seems impossible.
You haven't heard of it because it is a new concept I have been toying around with. Basically, the freeform lightsaber takes its inspiration from the lightwhip. The lightwhip is a rare form of a lightsaber. It was created only three times in the SW universe.
A lightwhip is crafted out of Kaiburr crystal and Mandalorian iron, but with the ability to flex and move like a leather whip.
The freeform lightsaber uses a complex combination of focusing crystal and Kaiburr crystal to create a lightsaber with the flexibility of a lightwhip yet with the ability to allow a skilled Force user to manipulate the shape of the blade.

Basically, there was the ancient lightwhip. Many years later, after many technological advances, one Sith Lord gains the knowledge to create a new weapon based on the old one.

I know what a lightwhip is; if you had bothered to even read my character, you would see he uses one. However, just creating something out of thin air like that seems a little... unrealistic. Otherwise, I could create a "Unstoppable Homing Blaster..."

Except my character didn't make it out of thin air. He took several years to fully develop and perfect this weapon. He first found mention of the legendary lightwhip, then took a couple of years to research and plan. Then he developed a prototype, and then perfected the weapon from that.

just a note... Sith only have one apprentice at any time (The Rule of Two)

Actually, that was after the Bane Dynasty. Before that, Sith Masters could have as many apprentices as they wanted.

Could it be possible to have my character as a Sith, but neutral in a sense of terms?

You are right, though I was under the imperssion that this was after the Bane's rule.

That doesn't seem like it could be possible just based on the teachings and ways of the Sith. Though the person could have used been a sith who turned away (though not towards the light/jedi).

Well, I see DMG is in... so I'm interested. Bio is as follows:

Name:Seriph Tallia (http://www.zmms.tu-berlin.de/modys/team/sandro/martial/big-Sandro%20-%20Jedi%20Knight.jpg)
Age: 31
Race: Human
Allegiance: Jedi
Rank: Jedi Knight
Lightsaber color: Magneta, with unique hilt (http://starwars.wikicities.com/wiki/Image:Sidiouslightsaberside.gif)
Style of Combat: Form V (Shien/Djem So)

Bio: Born on Corellia, he was found to have Force talents as early as six months of age. He was taken to the Jedi Temple, where he became a Padawan at the age of seven, having excelled in his studies at the Temple. He remained a Padawan for the next fourteen years, finally earning the rank of Knight at twenty-one. Since then, he has travelled far and wide, from the Core to the Outer Rim and further into the void.

Although his lightsaber was orginally green in colour, he altered it following an incident in the Kamino system. His former master, Jedi Master Viyo Hansk, was there investigating claims of a Dark-Side user in the area. Hansk, whilst a master of Form III, found himself in a fierce battle which he could not win, against a vastly superior opponent. Somehow, through the Force, Tallia heard a plea for help, and wasn't too far. However, he arrived too late to save his former master, who had been stabbed through the chest by the Dark-Sider. Tallia, enraged, fought with this unknown assaliant, using the power of Form V to force him back. However, he lunged too far, and the enemy sliced through the handle of his lightsaber, taking the tip of Tallia's index finger with it. The enemy advanced, but Tallia called the blade of his master to him, taking off the enemies hands in one stroke. The blade of his master saber was a deep blue, and Tallia knew he had to construct a new saber. He left, and was not heard from again until a year later, when he returned to Coruscant with a brand new saber. Rumour has it that he has taken the crystal from his former master's saber, and also a rare crystal that not many Jedi have.
Could it be possible to have my character as a Sith, but neutral in a sense of terms?
Just a note, that sounds like a Grey Jedi (http://starwars.wikicities.com/wiki/Grey_Jedi) to me. You can still lean towards the Sith, but Grey is neutral

Name:Nexlon
Age:Unknown
Race:Human(?)
Allegiance:Not affiliated with any side
Rank:N/A (Rouge)
Weapon:Lightsaber(Green), Dual heavy blaster pistols, Throwing knives, Poision Darts, several hidden weapons.

Nexlon is a mysterious charachter who wears a white mask, obscuring his face completely. He wears black Maladorian armor, but seems to have lost his helmet in a previous battle. While he appears to be human, Nexlon has a high amount of stamina and speed that seems increased from that of a normal man. He is not a force user, but rather a soldier-for-hire. It is unknown where he aquired his lightsaber; he may have killed a Jedi and stolen it, or may have been given it. He is a skilled fencer, even if he is not a force user, and is extremely quick.

While Nexlon is not affiliated with either the Dark or Light side of the force, he will join whoever pays him the most and will not hesitate to switch sides if he sees any profitable opportunities.

Except my character didn't make it out of thin air. He took several years to fully develop and perfect this weapon. He first found mention of the legendary lightwhip, then took a couple of years to research and plan. Then he developed a prototype, and then perfected the weapon from that.

Okay and my character first found nano missiles and then took years to create and perfect a "Unstoppable Homing Blaster"...

Just because you say your character took his time doing it, doesn't mean it is possible... The simple physics and design of how a lightsaber is made, makes your idea crazy.


Good to see you Snake Eaters.

You are right, though I was under the imperssion that this was after the Bane's rule.

That doesn't seem like it could be possible just based on the teachings and ways of the Sith. Though the person could have used been a sith who turned away (though not towards the light/jedi).

I'm not going into the sense of a Gray Jedi, I'm talking about a lone Sith. The Sith teachings promote thinking for yourself, so it would be natural for a Sith to be looking out for number one. For example, he could have been an apprentice, failed to assassinate him, and thus is biding his time.

Oh wow, I now feel like a complete n00b, knowing nothing about what most of you guys are talking about. I know what the movies show, and a bit about KOTOR, tis it. But I guess it's good to have SW masters in the RP.

Anyways, nice opening thing DS, and come to think of it I would prefer you starting the RP, having your fleet on it's way to where ever it is it's going, then my ambush with my fleet, blah blah blah. Everyone, the first bit of the RP will be DS and me only basically, as we want to make the starting of it good without too much confusion. Anyways, here's what I understand the storyline is.

Long time ago, galaxy far far away, etc, etc, there was a magical artifact that could be used to tap infinite powers from the force. A great war ensured, and the artifact was hidden away by a secret order of the Jedi so that the Sith could never find it again. However, the secret order left clues to the whereabouts of the artifact, just in case, but those clues where lost and their meanings forgotten after the order became extinct.

The clues are in the form of anything you want to make up, and basically reveal little tiny bits and pieces of the mysteries of the artifact, and act as homing devices, showing where the thing is if you can unite them all. But anyways.

Thousands of years later, the Jedi and Sith are having big war, lots of explosions, ZOMG!!! A part of the Jedi fleet is taking some ambassadors to a neutral planet to try and gain their favor in the war, but are ambushed enroute by the Sith fleet. Lots of pretty lights and more explosions, Sith board main Jedi ship and battle of epic proportions occurs between the Sith Lord(moi) and DS' character. Turns out a draw(how will be revealed later), and the Jedi ship crashes on a nearby planet. There, the Sith Lord finds the mystical artifact, but doesn't know what it is.

The Jedi, having a few of the clues in their posession, find out a little about what's going on, and decide to investigate. The Sith try to stop the Jedi from finding things out, so I send out my many legions of men and my various apprentices and Sith buddies to stop them, epic battles happening everywhere, and boom, the Jedi find out what the artifact does, and where the Sith lord is hiding with it.

Jedi fleet goes and attacks Sith fleet, Jedi win. Jedi land troops in the ancient Sith temple where I am attempting to activate the articaft which will make me teh pwn! Epic battle between the rest of my apprentices and soldiers with the rest of the Jedi and their soldiers. And then the big finally!

I activate the artifact, but it takes awhile to gain full power, so I'm only half uber. Therefore, the few remaining Sith(if any) and myself will fight the big number of remaining Jedi, me basically pwning them for the most part. But then the Jedi come up with some plan which you guys can make up as we go, and you somehow turn off the artifact so I can't draw any more power from it.

And that's the rest of the set story. Big epic duel happens, and whoever wins decides the fate of the galaxy.:)

Nexlon seems like a wildcard in this situation. Perhaps I'll have him get accidently caught up in the Sith ambush on the Jedi, or mabey have him be on the planet that the Jedi crash-land on. Either way, expect him to sell himself to either the Sith or Jedi, then switch sides more than once.

Can I still join?

Can i get a link to the rp?

Can I rp as the huntarian version of Jedi (Malkir) or Sith (Kirtir)?

If so, then I'll be entering one of each:

Name: Master Mongoij
Age: 19

OOC: I hope it’s still okay to join…

Name: Ursa’ Rolamee(Or for short, Rolamee)
Age: 78
Race: Sangheili(Elite from Halo)
Allegiance: “Sith”
Rank: Excommunicated.
Weapon: Energy Axe, Daemon Fire Rifle(Altered plasma rifle)

Bio: Well back in the fragile days of Prophet of Anger’s union, Ursa’ Rolamee rose overnight through the ranks with his stunning victories over sharquoi on many high-casualty missions. His brutal tactics and loyalty of his commandos soon seen him as Special Operations Praetor. He traveled on the outskirts of the covenant forces pursing his own agendas of butchery on “traitors” and other lesser covenant ranks. His commandos chanced upon a very odd sharquoi vessel. It was in apparently poor condition and manned by some form of heretical cultists. Boarding parties were incredulous upon their findings. Parts of the ship were alive itself, they battled new creatures called demons and large, heavily armed and armored sharquoi, many a sangheili were lost before the ship was stormed. As was customary by Rolamee, he heartily took his trophies from the deceased. Impressed by some of the berserker-sharquoi on board the ship, he adopted their method of throphies, taking the skull and adorning themselves with blood. Even their oddly shaped triangle was tattooed on their skins. Without even knowing it, one of the highest ranking soldiers in the Holy Covenant fleet had fallen under the sway of chaos.

Eventually Rolamee and a large portion of his commandos struck out at a servant of the prophets. They tried unsuccessfully to kill Ikaporamee at the behest of an as yet unknown third party. Finally, the lead weights had been lifted and Rolamee and his traitors were excommunicated and attacked by Crusader Fleet. The vengeful puritists reaped a bloody toll on the now-defiled covenant warships as Rolamee made haste to flee. Now aboard his only remaining cruiser, the Burning Hell, he has received tales from entities in the warp. Some powerful artifact, capable of turning him into a god, rests know in the hands of sharquoi. So he is now roving the stars in search of the artifact while evading the vengeful Ikaporamee…

Note, Rolamee isn’t with the sith, he’s running around for Khorne. But he isn’t above a little treachery to achieve god-hood…

Name: Fulsam’ Ikaporamee
Age: 52
Race: Sangheili
Allegiance: “Jedi”/TMM(formerly known as TTM)
Rank: Purification/Infiltration Praetor
Weapon: Energy sword, plasma rifle.

Ikaporamee was similar to Rolamee only in the speed they came through the covenant military caste. Several successful forerunner-artifact campaign had seen success due to his leadership and trust in advisors. The prophets had found some scriptures at certain forerunner sites pertaining to an alternative Great Journey, but only for one being(The Force artifact), some recent evidence lead them to believe that the artifact, or perchance a clue of it existed on a jedi-temple world. So dispatched under the guise of training, Ikaporamee enlisted in the temple and discovered this curious sharquoi way of life. With the trail now cold, Ikaporamee was summoned back to the home world for a new assignment. With the republican civil war breaking out, Ikaporamee could only be granted a destroyer, the [I]Faith's Fury, to hunt down the newly demonized heretic. Following the sickening aura of the damned vessel, Ikaporamee has been yipping at their heels since they fled and the hunt is coming to a close one way or the other…

Note: Ikaporamee’s side would first be the covenant, but they aren’t here, then would be TTM who saved his soul and life previously, and due to his allegiance to the jedi, Ika would just follow suit.

If it's not too late:

Name: Essentar
Age: 38
Race: Human
Height: 6'1
Weight: 145 lbs
Allegiance: Jedi
Rank: Jedi Master
Weapon: Blue lightsaber (extemely skilled with it), Force

Description: Essentar is tall with relatively dark skin. He is thin-set but still pretty muscular. Contrary to common Jedi garb, Essentar is always robed in black. He is extremely skilled in the force and the art of sabre. His unwavering allegiance to the Jedi way has some people calling him pious or fundamental, however it's always his ablility to be calm and use his feelings to win his battles.

Ugh! Taledonia... you really need to close this off. Having 16 people (as in nations... over 20 characters) in an RP such as this, is not going to work well...

i agree, weve had about three attempted starts here, which one r we using?

Can I Get A Link To The Thread

Yeah, are we getting started any time soon? Make a cutoff soon enough and let's go.

Yeah, are we getting started any time soon? Make a cutoff soon enough and let's go.

You only signed up yesterday and you are already demaning for it to start...

Look how many people we have signed up...i was afraid i wouldnt even make the cutoff. Yet more are coming. How can we manage this many nations RPing? If we get more we won't be able to do this...

That isn't what I said. I already made the point a while ago and frankly we shouldn't even have (at the most) more than 10 nations. However... it still gives you no right to demand to start the RP... many of us signed up over a week ago and you signed up yesterday...

Then why are you still waiting?

Ok for the third time can i get a link to the thread.

Ok for the third time can i get a link to the thread.

What thread! There is no IC thread yet...

Then why are you still waiting?

Because I, unlike you, understand that RPs aren't going to start ten seconds after I join it. I unlike you did not demand for it to start because you couldn't wait more than 12 hours... now drop it.

What thread! There is no IC thread yet...

Thought you guys said youve tried 3 times to start.

On the other hand, (my last comment and i will drop it) most RPs recently have seemed to gotten started fairly quickly.

Because I, unlike you, understand that RPs aren't going to start ten seconds after I join it. I unlike you did not demand for it to start because you couldn't wait more than 12 hours... now drop it.

I didn't see a demand anywhere. I saw a request.

There has been some confusion as to whether it should be me or Taledonia who writes the opening post. I TG'ed him requesting clarification...2 days ago. I'm waiting for him to respond.

What would be a good name for this thread?

I'd like to submit a proposal, but, before I do, I've got to point out that it's a PROPOSAL, and it's NOT SET IN STONE, and I would VASTLY prefer if others helped with this and CHANGED it. There are those who, when they see a proposal such as this, think it's a "take it or leave it" proposition, and don't bother to MODIFY. I would prefer that the MODIFY option stay on the table, though, please, along with the REPLACE option. :) :) :)

The Vampire, The Jedi, and the Orb of Forever

I don't like this one because I only have a minor role for my vampiric character, and that character isn't a full Vampire. I only intend it as a starting point.

So...any better ideas? PLEASE?!?!?

Jedi Quest. Once it was a finalist for the name of SWE3...

Just wanted to make sure everyone knows I'm still here.

The Vampire, The Jedi, and the Orb of Forever


Perhaps just The Orb of Forever would suit well?

maybe it would be The Sith, The Jedi, and the Orb of Forever cause the preposel was good... but i personally didn't like the vampire part of it

How bout, Struggles in the Force: The Orb of Forever?

How bout, Struggles in the Force: The Orb of Forever?

I like this one. Or, how about Struggles of the ForceL The Orb of Forever?

Yeah "of" actually sounds better.

OOC: Or how about "I seem to have misplaced my carrot..."?

Seriousley, perhaps, "War of the orb", "A shift in the force", "Weapons in the wrong hands", "A forceful exchange" or "OMFGZ! D00MZ!"(That one is obviousley a joke)

Actually, I'd love to rp in a thread entitled "OMFGZ! D00MZ!" (and I'm actually serious. Note the lack of end sarcasm tag)

Actually, come to think of it that would be fun...

I like the carrot one...

Anyways, yeah, DMZ or whatever, this should be cut off. Anyways, DS, you start the thread, post a link for it here or something, and in the meantime I'll go through the list and pick 15 characters only!!! List should be up soon.

Alright, maybe not 15 characters because everyone seems to be wanting to be Jedi, so I don't want it to be very uneven. Anyways, here's who made the cut, if you see your characters name, your in, but for those of you who put multiple characters up, chances are you won't have both of them in. And for those who didn't get in, sorry, but all of you were Jedi, I needed more Sith!!!! So sorry, maybe next time.

Fracas in the Force: The Orb of Forever

Tal: BUMP! :) :) :)

AH well, I tried. Slight criticism: If you wanted more Sith, you could have just asked.

hey, wheres my character? i was the second guy 2 sign up, and i was a sith!

hey, wheres my character? i was the second guy 2 sign up, and i was a sith!

Maybe a little more detail on it would have helped...


Name: Unknown
age: 16
race: human
alegiance: sith (aprentice)
rank: up to the admin....
weapon: double lightsabers (red)

All you really put was his age, that he was a sith, and that he was a human. No details on his appearance, his history, his personality, his skills, etc...

We could always have another thread for the remaining characters--except that I won't have time to participate in both, and would have to withdraw Marvel.

you could have told me you wanted that sort of detail. do you want me to revise him?

Since my Kirtir character is accepted, I'll be using Huntaer instead of Huntarian Alliance (as to seperate the good from bad).

When and where should we introduce our characters?

(Especially mine, because he is 'Grey'... sort of)

After DS and I RP the first part out, where I find the orb, then you guys can introduce your characters.

The following apply to the story after DS's second post, when Chosen's Choice is being borded, but the borders are being temporarily repelled.

Does Relentless Agony survive, or does a heavily damaged light cruiser named Prophetic Irony, thought to be completely disabled, loose a surprise missile barrage and disable her just before being obliterated for her hubris? It seems to me that having her stick around would be a problem for the crash landing part of the story line...

BTW, I'm trying to get through this quickly so that others can join in. Is there some way that we can cut to the chase, the match-ups between the Sith Lord and Starvlan? Will there be a square-off with Jenghis, or will he just wrap himself in hull plating and drift off into space? Will Jenghis even see the Sith Lord?

Nah, my ship will survive, as most upon your ship will die, a few of your Jedi will escape in pods, but then the ship will crash and I will find the orb, then be taken back home by my ship.

I need to find a way to work my character in to the plot...

Perhaps either the Sith or the Jedi will message him (either literally or through the forcE) and ask for his help? (Though he would have his own objectives in the end also).

I don't know if my post is acceptable. I assumed that all of the DS players knew about their assignments and came to help out. If that is a problem, let me know and I'll change my post.

Huntaer, I have some problems with your post. This is suppose to be in the Star Wars galaxy, along time ago and all that jazz. Your not suppose to RP as your actual nation, having guys from Huntaer, they're suppose to just be either Sith or Jedi(Republic). Also, I'm suppose to be the "supreme overlord" of all the evil guys, not allied with another group of them. So you would have to be under me, working for me, and leading my armies, not your own. Could you please change your post accordingly?

Nah, my ship will survive, as most upon your ship will die, a few of your Jedi will escape in pods, but then the ship will crash and I will find the orb, then be taken back home by my ship.

If your ship's out there, nobody in an escape pod is going to survive. Something would have to be done to neutralize her weapons...

...or...

...Jenghis would be the only survivor, and he would do so by wrapping himself in a section of hull plating so the sun never shined on him and going into a vampiric death state. Using his vampiric powers, he can survive in a vacuum without a space suit. But that might make him just a TAD on the thirsty side...

You tell me.

This post relates to the point in the story where Chosen's Choice is lost, but hurtling toward the planet (haven't named it yet, but would prefer Delta Phangees II).

Decided that we can worry about how many survivors there were later. Right now, I advanced the story to the point where other players can enter. We'll have to invent a scenario by which Juri survives the guns of Relentless Agony, though. Ideas?

* Tal, if you will forgive me for injuring his character, I'll forgive him for directly controlling mine. On other RP threads I've participated in, I've been told that this is quite frowned-upon. Not being one to hang on ceremony, I don't really care, but, if you're going to be dealing with a certain few rather anal retentive types in the future, the information that I have just given you may prove valuable.

* Quaon, there's only ONE Jedi ship, and it's going down. Better get your character out before it crash lands on Delta Phangees II. Wouldn't mind if Juri was on hand, or a in communication, with the group in the flying saucer. In that group, he'd be the ranking officer.

* Holy One, now would be a good time to have Ika join in with the group of non-Jedi good guys. TG me and we can correspond about how they'll meet up.

* Tal, I had more traps to spring. I had ray shield projectors all over the place. I had force adepts who could set off the sith warriors' weapons. The defense was multi-layered. Maybe it is a good thing that they were never used, though. They would've slowed things down too much. Until everybody's posting, brevity is a virtue, no? Just wish you'd held more to the old Star Wars credo that the good guys always outmuscle the bad guys, I guess. :) :) :) Thought the point of the exercise was that the sith recovered the object AT GREAT COST.

BTW, love the names on those ships! :) :) :)

Relentless Agony is, like, soooo kewl!

Yeah I controlled your guys a bit just for the sake of moving the story on so others could join in, and I like the vampire hiding thing better, while your escape pods could jump to hyperspace, the fighters and ships not really caring about your people so they would let them go.

Anyways, yeah, I figured you'd have more defences, but as you said, brevity till everbody gets to post something. As for the point of good guys always outmusceling the bad guys, not true. That's at the end that they do that, bad guys always win at the beginning. Plus I was going for something along the lines of the starting of Star Wars IV, where the Corvette is attacked by the Star Destroyer, boarded, and taken with little difficulty. This is just to make it more so that the good guys are losing and in a dire state, giving the neutral characters a place to come in as the Republic could hire them on as mercanaries.

Thanks, I tried to come up with a good ship name.

By the way, how do you like this for a part two. I step out for a bit, while the Jedi council(and the various Jedi players) meet and discuss the loss of the ship and the failed mission of the ambassadors. Here, your character can reveal his sensing the Orb, but not knowing what it is, merely knowing that a great disturbance in the force was sensed. Then, the Jedi will send some players to investigate, probably on a nearby Sith planet that is besieged by Republican forces. This is where one of my apprentices can come in, giving room for an epic battle of such.

Huntaer, I have some problems with your post. This is suppose to be in the Star Wars galaxy, along time ago and all that jazz. Your not suppose to RP as your actual nation, having guys from Huntaer, they're suppose to just be either Sith or Jedi(Republic).

Could you please change your post accordingly?

Missed that somehow. I'll just delete the post and make a new one accordingly (though Shamman is still a Kirtir name for my nation, I'll keep it just so that things are easier for me).

I don't have a problem.

Dastardly Stench, when you have your characters arrive at the Jedi High Council, would you mind making a mention of my characters and how they are already there in front of the council.

IMHO, it would work better if TMM and your character met in space. TMM and Jenghis can get him through to the high council without ruffling too many feathers. Having read your post, I think it would work for the better if he was able to track the disturbance that he had felt to the general area, where TMM &co are going to be.

Have TG'ed The Holy One and asked if he would like to rendesvous in the vacinity, too. Basically, TMM would stumble in on a skirmish between Rom and Ika, and Rom, seeing that his chances of fending off two other ships were somewhere between slim and none, would hit Ika's engines and run. That's what I requested--The Holy One, whose writing skills are respectable even if he DOES need to brush up on his punctuation a tad :P , may have a better idea.

While we're assembling in space, maybe someone could come in and pick up Juri after Darth Solus (hope I spelled that right) has left. He'll have to contact someone first, though...though it looks like there won't be a shortage of people to contact.

Mind you, by the time TMM picked up Jenghis, it had been three weeks since the starship crashed on the planet--plenty of time for our man Darth to have gotten bored and left.

Tal--apologies on the controlling of the character thing. I rechecked the posts. The only character not of your own making whom you actually controlled was Starvlan. Starvlan is a non-player character, specifically made for you to influence, and thus not subject to any of that "control" stuff. No foul was comitted.

Not knowing what IMHO means, I am assuming this is in reference to my comment. I like the idea, I will edit my post to say he went to that planet where the disturbance occured.

By the way guys, I've picked Huntaer as the first of my apprentices to be revealed. So when the Council sends an investigation to the nearby besieged planet(probably Tatooine or something), they will meet with the Sith forces(NPC controlled by me) and Huntaer's Sith.

Alright... though I still need someont to sense Liam's ship as he arrives in the area where he felt the disturbance. Unless someone else has a different plan...?

Thanks. Found it through my own methods, though. :D :D :D

Now, I'm waiting on posts from Ika on his initial meeting with TMM, from Liam on his arrival at the scene and from Juri on just exactly how he signalled the others that he was stuck on the planet.

If it helps, TMM has an unusual force signature. He is anti-force, so adepts perceive him as a lack of energy. Whether they recognise this or not depends on how much they know about TMM. Conceivably, Juri might know that TMM is nearby.

Right now, TMM's ship is helping Ika's Sangheili destroyer fix up after a hit-and-run raid by a sith.

There are TWO ships there right now: Brain Jar and Faith's Fury. Your post only mentions ONE, DMG. That's why my post reads as it does. I'm going to presume that Liam has run into the rogue cruiser, which might have gotten clipped by Brain Jar's plasma cannon as she made a quick, short jump into hyperspace. It could also be a derelict ship, too--there were three ships in the diplomatic convoy that were lost to the sith, and this could be one of them, or it could be something else entirely.

Either way, I've brought Brain Jar into communications range...so...happy posting, DMG.

I would appreciate it if Quaon would let me know if I should arrange to pick Juri up on the planet or if he will make it to the High Council meeting through his own means.

Juri, reaching out with the force, tries to contact any Jedi nearby.

... That was certainly a nice long post...

OOC: He just wanted to save us time so we could watch FMA...:p

OOC: If no one objects, I’d like to skip over the High Council Meeting and move straight over to Korriban. I’ll need a post where Liam makes his decision, one where Juri joins the group and one more where the group plan, as best is possible, what they’re going to do on Korriban, so that they don’t end up slicing each other up once they get there. Who wants to go first?

I forgot to put my response in my post, so I just dropped it here:

No objections here, though a note from one of your characters about how the council reacted might be interesting (though it is just a thought, I don't care if you post it or not).

As far as going to Korriban, I'm sorta hoping that the two posters whose characters are most familiar with it can come up with some sort of description of the solar system and the settings where the story is to take place.

TMM has some real old info in his computer files. He doesn't know exactly what some of that data is about. Do you want to work it that he has specs for the thing in his database and that Ika can use 'em, after the two of them figure it out, to repair his warp detector?

OOC: Well the warp-detector has been eaten. Entirely, to "repair" it, an entirley new one would have to be built, and so a forerunner artifact would have to be nabbed, then throw some engineers in the mix with various materials and in a day or so I'd have a new one. No seeing since I'm lacking the first two...it's going to be hard to "repair" it....

If TMM has the specs on the thing, why couldn't they figure out how to fabricate it? You know TMM isn't above doing TSOT--so he'd take the place of the engineer. If you're game. I mean, if you'd prefer, the specs would have some exotic materials that current technology can't fabricate, or some such... it's up to you.

As noted earlier, DS and Marionetonia are both the same person.

OOC: Yeah, thats what I meant by forerunner artifact. They aren't incredibly rare, just usually a real pain in the butt to fill out all the paperwork to even get cleared to approach one...(stupid beuracracy)

Perhaps it could have lots of ruins, though a restored main building (like the academy). Just a thought.

http://www.geocities.com/starwars_hope_lost/korriban.jpg

I was thinking of the Korriban from Kotor 1, where there are ruins and dig sights, but also intact and usable buildings (like the academy and the bar)

I know it is kind of late, but I was wondering if I could join up as a Dark Jedi character. Maybe a guard at the digsite? If Quaon quit the RP, we could possibly have him killed off by my character as a story exit.


If I can join, here is my character

Name: Thiron Valian
Age: 28
Sex: Male
Race: Kreynor*
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 145 lbs.
Allegiance: Sith
Rank: Sith Assassin/Bounty Hunter
Weapons: Twin green lightsabers, disruptor rifle, dual repeating blaster pistols, harpoon gun, various grenades

Bio: As the son of a kreynor Wraith Knight**, Thiron received Wraith Knight training as a youth. He was kidnapped at age eight by pirates, but joined their crew, learning the trades of the smuggler, the pirate, and the assassin.

At the age of fourteen, he was discovered by a Sith assassin, who took him as an apprentice of sorts. He developed his Dark Side abilities and a unique style of lightsaber combat.

On the day before his 20th birthday, he challenged and killed his master, thus completing his Sith assassin training. Since then, he has done freelance work across the galaxy as an assassin, bodyguard, or enforcer.

Thiron comes from a species that naturally love the thrill of the hunt. Thiron has a cruel sense of humor and a distinct love of cruelty and torture. He especially enjoys hunting Jedi, as they are naturally a more challenging kill than most others. So far he has killed four Jedi in his life, one of them through brutal torture and deprivation. The memories of these hunts bring him joy, and he keeps their skulls and lightsabers as trophies. He also enjoys hunting huge monsters. He has slain rancors, wampas, and many other equally vicious beasts across the galaxy. Thiron also served Jabba the Hutt on numerous occasions until the crime lord's demise at the hands of Leia Organa.

Thiron is vicious, bloodthirsty, and cunning. He never fights a fair fight if he can avoid it, and usually has a well-thought out escape plan. His style of lightsaber combat is very aggressive. His attacks are simply a blindingly fast, extremely precise frontal assault. He will also use the incredible speed and mobility of his species to move around a single enemy. However, his technique is forward-leaning, and he can be caught off-guard and unbalanced if forced on the defensive. He is also highly adept at fighting multiple opponents at once. He prefers to fight alongside minions or underlings. If a fight goes against him, he is very likely to flee, usually leaving behind his lackeys as rear guards.

He is now in the employ of Darth Solus as a guard at a mysterious digsite amongst the ruins of Korriban...

*Kreynor are a humanoid race from deep in the Outer Rim. They have very pale skin, dark hair, very large, glowing green eyes (can see in the dark but blinded in bright light - Thiron wears dark goggles to protect eyes from light), and clawed hands and feet. Their most distinguishing trait is their speed and agility. They can run far faster and longer than a human, especially when they revert to all fours. They also have extreme reaction speed.
**Force-sensitives in kreynor culture are traditionally raised as Wraith Knights rather than Jedi or Sith. They can wield relatively simple Force powers, such as telekinesis, mind tricks, telepathy, and enhanced speed and jumping ability.

OOC: Yeah sorry DS, I was off in lala land on a few forums and forgot about this. But Ika has no real knowledge on the Sith/Jedi customs, etc. So he'd just let TMM take care of it while waiting. And I would psot training and stuff, but you're eager to move on, so I don't want to hold this up...

Kreynoria']Oh...oops.

Heh, no problem. It was good that you found them, anyway.

Thanks for giving me the information that I needed to do my homework. I am now familiar with the terrain and timeline of the planet Korriban, and can intelligently describe its surface and the kinds of things that would be located there. We may wish to think of some subterranian surprises for our characters, but that's for another poster.

It would be a good time for our Sith players to make some posts. The Metal Man is near enough to be detected, if there is a set of sensors nearby that is good enough to unmask his cloaking device.

I'm thinking that Romalee should be joining the fray soon, too.

Of course, any other contributions to the RP are welcome. There are some interesting characters in this one, and I'm hoping that their creators will have the libidenous energy to do a little work on the world around the characters, and how the characters interact, too.

I am thinking that perhaps we should TG those Sith characters that they can now join the RP formally as they might not be actively checking the OOC or IC thread (or may have just forgotten about the RP).

Yeah my character,

Name: Maxen Wain (Vain)
Official Rank: Manadethran'von
Race: Moors
Job: Bounty Hunter
Age: 28
Jedi: Maybe
Orientation: Anti-Jedi

Description; A major participant of a league formed to bring honor mainly to the party. Called Haworn (Havorn), it was founded by Maxen, Sied Trayne, and Fokker Wuhlf. It's current task it to avenge the demise of a group of traniees that died while protecting an minor member of the Trade Federation (or Empire). After that attack a group of Moors where sent, with Maxen at it's lead, to get 5 lightsabers (meaning kill 5 Jedi) for each traniee killed (25).


So like, please let me join! Don't mean to sound irratating but it seems like good people are here....

Despite the name this RP was closed a while ago. It certainly would not be fair to let you in as we (the creator) was forced to kick out some of the applicants because it was becoming overburdened.

AMEN!

If you need another player.....

Well, I sent TGs to the "evil" (Sith) characters in the thread, asking them to post or pay attention to the RP. For now we will have to wait; after that we may have to consider new people.

Holy Covennant is playing one good and one evil. Did you TG him?

Cloaking devices only shield from sensors, right?

Dastardly Stench']Holy Covennant is playing one good and one evil. Did you TG him?

Yeh.

Sorry guys, didn't know Huntaer wasn't responding, in my own little world I thought this RP was going along smoothly and didn't need me back yet, guess not. Anyways, I'm a bit busy at the moment since it's my birthday, but later tonight or tomorrow morning I'll post something.

Happy birthday ;)

Hey! Kewl. Hope it's a great day for you.

(Mine's the 19th. I'm on a cusp of the greco-roman zodiac, so that would make you...an Aquarian.)

Hope the message I left didn't cost you anything, BTW. It was getting scary there for a while.

I noticed our newfound friend has started to post. I think I owe him a "thank you."

Thanks!!! :) :) :)

not wanting to make any one mad here put i was wondering if i can still join i have play the star wars roleplaying game before i i have a pretty good star wars knowledge and if thats not it i have around 33 starwars novels even one from the 70's so if i can join my char is as go's


My Character is Lawfull/Evil


Name : James A. North
Age : 23
Race : Human
Height : 1.10 meter's
Weight : 190 lbs.
Hair/Eye Color : Brown w/ Red highlights " Hair". Blue " Eye's"
Planet of Birth : Corellia
Side : Jedi
Job : Bounty Hunter
Weapon : Sport Blaster Rifle / Holdout Blaster 6 Shot
Force Sensitive : No
BackGround Story : To Be Told in Game ( still have to write it )

1) I'm going to have to defer to others on whether the new applicant will be allowed in. We originally had so many people sigh up that we had to turn some away...but then one of our Sith players dropped off the face of the earth, and we replaced him. I, personally, vote "yes." I, personally, feel that we need one more player to round out the team.

2) Speaking of having to replace somebody...

OK. New player. Time for an info dump to get him up to speed, and to arrange for things that need to be arranged for. Info dump includes questions that will need to be answered. Taledonia and I didn't coordinate things closely enough in the opening, and it, IMHO, made for a poorer quality of writing than I would have liked. I'm not going to make that mistake again.

It sounds like the Sith Assassin is using the standard technology. As you should know, our characters should be versed in this, to the extent that it is possible to predict an individual assassin's weaponry from knowing the things that other assassins like him or her use. In particular, my character Miriam likes to do her homework and know what kinds of things to look out for, and how to counter them. Can we TG each other and get some ideas across on what each of our characters is going to do?

Hope you don't mind The Metal Man using an Electromagnetic Pulse on those drones. I've seen nothing in Star Wars to indicate that the folks there are concerned with EMP and its affect on electrical systems that get caught in one. I'm assuming that the Assassins are smarter than that, and checked their weapons against such a threat. The Sith Master got the drones, and he wasn't as careful. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :) :) :)

Neither DMG's character nor mine are Jedi. They don't use the standard Jedi weapons, and they're not widely-known. Miriam uses a utility belt, a bit like, dare I write it, Batman, but obviously with different toys on it. Her unusual techniques will give her something of an advantage of surprise over the asassins. They will not expect her to use nets and projectiles. She does, and The Metal Man has trained her to use The Force to make sure that they hit their targets.

Liam seems to use the standard weapons, but he's very strong in The Force.

The Metal Man isn't strong in The Force at all. In fact, he's anti-force. He literally has to make an effort not to shut down the Force within ten yards of him. Though he is not a force-adept, he has advanced systems that allow him a great deal of control over the physical world. He can't fortell the future, but he can "see" the entire electromagnetic spectrum. That's one of his problems, though. He used to be human. His brain isn't evolved to handle that kind of information coming in all at once. If he isn't careful, it can drive him temporarily insane. Others can deliberately impair his mind. For example, a Sangheili cloaking device is known to cause him a great deal of distress.

BTW, we're all in on the fact that the "cover story" is that Liam and Miriam are chasing TMM, looking to get their hands on him and find out what chemical process keeps him from ever dieing? That they're REALLY looking for the first piece of the puzzle, which was recently found in the Sith dig, that will tell them what The Orb of Forever is...?

The thing is, TMM has just tried, from the assassins' point of view, to manipulate them into conflict with Liam and Miriam. He figures that he can't lose. Either 1) the Sith will befriend Liam and Miriam, giving them the chance to reconoiter the Sith camp or 2) the Sith will start up a battle with Liam and Miriam, and he'll be able to sneak through in the confusion and then HE'LL reconoiter the situation.

That's why I just posted him knocking out the Assassins' drones, zipping over to the other folks and yelling "OVER HERE, BOYS!!!"

I thought it was HILARIOUS...

:) :) :)

Agreed. I read a Star Wars novel where EMP was used to knock out droidekas and STAPs just fine.

Eh... whatever.

Seems like there's nothing I can really say at the moment. How about we just say Huntaer finished what he was suppose to and got the artifact, then Kyrodin or whatever is having his little battle. He'll report to me later or something.

OOC: Woah...holy crap! I actually FORGOT about this RP! I AM EXTREMLEY sorry! If you want to have me step out of RP, sure if it'll make things smoother!

i would like to apply fo r the jhengis position. Please tell me if i am doing this right. This is my first forum rp

Hmm.... (first RP, eh?)

DMG, check TG's.

Also, another reason why I haven't been Rping is because I'm waiting for a responce from Taledonia (Darth Solus) since my character is his apprentice after all (one of them, that is). So... Since no one has made any connection with my character's (Shamman) dig site, I haven't really responded. It seemed to me that he wasn't involved. Not to mention I don't have a MSN account (parents....), so I can't talk about this stuff that way.

Where do I come in?

DMG, check TG's.

Already did.

I would say that you should recieve orders from Darth Solus before making any actions. (So, that would require Solus making a post where he gives you your orders.)

@Kreynoria: I would respond, but I would rather wait for DS to make a post, just so that he can write his response to Liam's telepathic message, and subsequently being confronted by your Sith.

Already did.

I agree, but Tal. hasn't been Rping much....

I know. He said it wasn't his characters time yet (or something like that). But I think if it got more people involved he should introduce Solus (or a minion) and give you (Huntaer) orders.

[Just to get the sith rolling]

Ok, I'll give your guy orders Huntaer, but later, gotta go to work now.

Kreynoria']Thiron merely flexed his hand and Miriam's lightsaber flew out of her hand and sailed over the heads of the Sith troopers, landing on the ground.

"I think that is just about fair," said Thiron, and then suddenly Miriam lifted into the air, as if by magic. And just as suddenly, she slammed into the ground, knocking the wind out of her and giving some heavy bruising.

This is pretty GM in my mind.

This is pretty GM in my mind.

I don't know about godmodding, but it's controlling someone else's character.

I favor letting it go, though. Though we can't have Character Control on an ongoing basis, I think that it serves a good purpose: letting DMG make the next post. Besides, Miriam is the apprentice.

You still having browser troubles, DMG?

I can feed you the posts through telegrams if you need 'em. If you'd like, we can also exchange ID's on a variety of IM programs, or e-addresses. I mean, I'm not going to post my e-address on a public thread, but I'll trust the people I'm RPGing with.

Don't know where the thing about fairness came from, Kreynora, but, all in all, it was entertaining. :) :) :)

------------------------------

In other news, Tal and I have already discussed this over MSN Messenger ... when TMM got into the temple for free, it didn't feel right; so I had him not read the stuff on the wall in a deliberate attempt to make him appear all the more foolish later when he sprung some trap that the writing clearly pointed out.

It's just that my mind has gone blank. Can anyone else help me figure out what the trap is going to be, and what the writing will have to say about it?

------------------------------

BTW, I commend HC on his choice of having Romalee follow TMM into the temple. My character is now the DEAD MEAT in a bad-guy sandwich. Kewl.

------------------------------

NeoUNSC: the new player is Kreynoria. That's whom I was writing to, though it appears that, in my hurry to make that post, I didn't think it through. If he's been brought in, there's no need for my input, is there? :) :) :)

Aren't I the intelligent one? :) :) :)

------------------------------

Horcrosia: Jenghis is a character, not a position. I should know, I developed him. In fact, I'm trying to write a novel where he, Miriam and The Metal Man are characters. Thus, though it's an interesting concept, it's not possible for you to "apply" for his "position." I'd ask you to make a character of your own, and offer help, but I'm not sure that it wouldn't put us over the breaking point. We've already turned people away. I'm still waiting for others to discuss one late applicant. I'm not sure the issue is even open.

General topic for discussion:

When, if ever, should we bring the Children of the Light into this?

I consider GMing anything in that realm (basically anything you aren't allowed to do, including controlling another person's character).

No, no. My browser is fine now, I can read the posts. I was just waiting for you to read it before deciding on what to do.

As for exchanging ID's, mine can easily be found in my profile (or under my name to the left).

General topic for discussion:

No idea.

Seems like there's nothing I can really say at the moment. How about we just say Huntaer finished what he was suppose to and got the artifact, then Kyrodin or whatever is having his little battle. He'll report to me later or something.


Slight complication: Khorne, the evil demon, is leading Romalee into the Sith Temple, telling ol' Rom that the artifact is there.

Do they maybe not exactly have it, but know exactly where it is? Do they maybe have it but haven't taken it out of the temple yet?

Sincer Romalee is in the Sith Temple, coming up on TTM's tail, would it be appropriate for TMM to hug the ceiling, try to wait for Rom to go past (Rom can show TMM where the traps are), have TMM's cloaking device not work (which it never does anyway), and have the two of them mix it up?

If they did, would this make enough noise to cause the Sith who are in the temple to RUN, NOT WALK in on them with weapons ready?

Well I am confused. I was having Thiron use the Force to steal Miriam's lightsaber, then execute a Force grasp and then having him slam Miriam with it.

On the topic of stealing lightsabers, normally I wouldn't have it done, but she killed mine. Obi-Wan and Anakin steal lightsabers from Grievous in ROTS, and in the Clone Wars miniseries Ki-Adi-Mundi also uses the Force to steal a lightsaber and Dooku also uses the technique on Ventress.

In a normal duel I wouldn't do it and would consider it GMing, but Thiron is saber-less, and Miriam has other toys. Also, the Sith troopers lost their blasters when the EMP hit, so she won't really have a problem with being unable to protect herself from blasterfire.

I am sorry if I was unclear, and will edit it if I have to.

I have no problem with you attempting to steal someone's lightsaber and force grasping someone, but actually saying that it worked is (as you and I both said) GMing. However, DS said he was cool with it (as long as it doesn't occur again) so it doesn't matter, which means that you don't have to edit it.

OK. Sorry. Won't happen again.

Don't know where the thing about fairness came from, Kreynora, but, all in all, it was entertaining.:):):)


She deprived Thiron the joy of disembering them with lightsabers, therefore she loses it as well.

Kreynoria]Break ranks and distract the Jedi he telepathically ordered to the few remaining Sith troopers.

I know your character doesn't know it ICly, but I just wanted to make sure you OOCly knew that my character isn't a Jedi (unless you are using it extremely loosely to mean anyone who can wield the force).

Well don't know what's happening but here's what I was thinking. No, the artifact shouldn't be out of the temple yet. We should have just located it and are trying to take it out, TMM should see all this and call reinforcements(Republican soldiers) big Sith troop Republic troop battle, with climatic Sith Jedi battles, and boom, we continue on from there. Everyone ok with that?

Fine with me (though I don't know how close Republic soldiers are to Korriban).

I am sorry if I was unclear, and will edit it if I have to.

My bad. I thought that Thiron had sent the light sabre away from both Miriam AND Thiron.

Some way to correct this?

I mean, under the circumstances, I have no objection to Thiron pulling Miriam's light saber off of her belt if they square off again in the near future. I also thought that Thiron still had some toys (bombs, shurikans, etc.) himself...

BTW...in my most recent post, note how the clamp did not necessarily SUCCEED in toucing Thiron...thus avoiding Character Control. :) :) :)

Thiron should be quick enough to evade the bike's attempts to bind him to it...and he may even be able to overcome its security system through the Force. I wanted to leave that option open to him, as well as that of LETTING the thing grab him now and then taking control of the security system when L&M oh-so-arrogantly ride up and expect him to stay caught.

Well don't know what's happening but here's what I was thinking. No, the artifact shouldn't be out of the temple yet. We should have just located it and are trying to take it out, TMM should see all this and call reinforcements(Republican soldiers) big Sith troop Republic troop battle, with climatic Sith Jedi battles, and boom, we continue on from there. Everyone ok with that?

This is just my two cents, not set in stone, but there's a tactical problem.

I'd set this up as a stealth mission, with Brain Jar and maybe Faith's Fury cloaked in orbit, evading the security systems as best they can. HC's posts work because Romalee's cruiser popped into hyperspace after a few seconds. TMM was basically going in on his own, with L&M providing distraction and back-up. If TMM goes down, the idea was that they could play Sith well enough to get in with Darth Whoever and finish the mission. When I set this thing up, the idea was that there was no way to get a large force in there, and that's why they went stealth instead of sending in a strike force.

Please don't take this as a "no." It ain't that. I'm a freelance fiction editor. I'm used to working with writers and having them change the plans that I make. I'm perfectly willing to improvise.

My only concern is that, since Koriban is THE Sith Homeworld, I'd expect it to have a multi-layered defense system (or at least the remnants of one). If so, how would a Repub Amphibious Assault get in?

Let's see...there are some recon units from the Children of the Light on the planet, checking if it's suitable for an away-base. They can be brought into the conflict, maybe sabotage some of the command and control prior to the Big Landing. And you haven't seen much of what TMM can do when he's backed into a corner. For example, though he doesn't like to get violent, he DID just wipe out 20 drones with one shot...and that was just to get Thiron angry, cloud his judgement. TMM has a LOT of firepower that he hasn't been using.

So...I'm game on the Big Battle, if we can just find some way to get it to go without slaughtering 70% of the Repub Landing Force on its way in...

I'm ALSO game on having the few characters who are there skirt the Sith forces and sneak right on back out again.

Whatever you folks want.

I'd like to know how the battle ends, though, before it was written, and what happens to the artifact, if that's what you want to do.

If there's no battle, the Sith retain control of the artifact, but TMM has a complete copy (or enough info to make a complete copy) stored in his computer memory.

SIDE NOTE:

When is Thyron going to realize that it wasn't Liam's voice that had said "OVER HERE, BOYS!" and that Miram was dropping a hint when she said that she wasn't there for him? SOMEBODY is going to have to get wise to the fact that there is activity in the dig site. Completely failing to notice TMM wouldn't be good for Thiron's pocketbook, now, would it?

Well actually, here is what I had planned.


Thiron goes back to the digsite and reports to Darths Solus and Shamman. After this, he decides to go back to a temple to have a peaceful place to fix up his lightsabers, And coincidentally that temple has Romalee and TMM in it.

I know your character doesn't know it ICly, but I just wanted to make sure you OOCly knew that my character isn't a Jedi (unless you are using it extremely loosely to mean anyone who can wield the force).

I know OOCly

Let's just leave it, I think the encounter went alright

Dastardly Stench']Wouldn't Thiron figure out that Liam ain't Jedi if he caught Liam using force lightning? Likewise, wouldn't he figure out that Miriam ain't Jedi 'cause her style ain't Jedi?

There are certainly other ways to tell he isn't a Jedi, but using force lightning technically isn't one of them. There is a variant of FL called Electric Judgement (basicalled light sided lightning), which is quite controversial in the Jedi Order and thus few people use it, but it still exists.

Yes, I have read about Plo Koon and Quinlan Vos using Electric Judgement.

Is this still open? I would like to sign up. I have never RPed before but I am a writer and I have an interest in SW.

At the concensus of Dastardly Stench, DMG, Taledonia, and a few other important people, yes. If you want to get in, I recommend creating an unconventional character. People who create a generic 'Jedi Knight' or 'bounty hunter' tend to turn away. Use the examples on the front page for ideas, but don't copy anyone's characters. Try not to god mod. Make sure you read the characters and the story. I think the Sith team has more valid openings than the Jedi team. And don't be afraid to lose. I had my character defeated, and am now in an interesting escape attempt.

So do I just create him (or her) here... and then go start writing in the story... (I can figure out a way to introduce my character) or is there a set order in which it is written?

So do I just create him (or her) here... and then go start writing in the story... (I can figure out a way to introduce my character) or is there a set order in which it is written?

Not quite sure what you are asking. Just create a character and post it here, after someone says it is fine you can start posting.

Ok... cool.

Name: Jacen Thomas
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Age: 19
Allegiance: Himself (In other words... Sith)
Weapon: Single Purple Lightsaber
Secondary Weapon: The Force
Force Specialities: Dark Rage, Force Avalanche.
Other Force Powers: Push, Pull, Flip, Speed, Small quanities of lightning.

Background: Jacen Thomas was recognized as possessing force powers only 13 days after his birth. Like all chuldren with his force sense, he was taken by the Jedi council and trained to be a jedi since he was a baby.

When he was eighteen, he was apprenticed to Jedi Master Kly Dpo (pronounced Do). Thomas was headstring, and him and Dpo did not always see eye to eye. Generally their reports from missions would differ largely... and finally the Jedi got fed up with these problem. Believing the word of the older Jedi (and rightly so) the council dimissed Jacen from the order.

Holding the grudge, Jacen left the temple and wandered to an outskirting system, where he nursed his anger, and fed upon it, until he was consumed by it. Designing revenge, Jacen sought out the Sith.

His goals are not to achieve victory for the Sith, but rather to defeat he Jedi, and he will do whatever he can to exact revenge on his former master... who he sees as his mortal enemy.

He still carries his purple lightsaber... hping to use it someday to kill his former master. But in the meantime, he has pledged his sword to help the cause of the Sith, in order that someday it may help himself.

Self-interest is Jacen's motto.

Made my post answering to Solus. So.... I got the artifact. Now what?

Seems okay with me...

(let's hear what everyone else has to say about it.)

No problem. Just check the last few posts and render your opinions on them.

Thanks.

I finally finished reading all of the story so far... looking good. I know a way to get my character involved.... just give me the word.

K. Just wait for Tal/DS to make their comments or give you the green.

Sweet.

I can wait.

I can wait.

Just one question, Gen: how are you planning on writing your character into the story? How would he make his entrance?

Kreynoria']Well actually, here is what I had planned.


Thiron goes back to the digsite and reports to Darths Solus and Shamman. After this, he decides to go back to a temple to have a peaceful place to fix up his lightsabers, And coincidentally that temple has Romalee and TMM in it.

Only thing is it ain't going to be so peaceful.

HC has been TGing me for days telling me that Khorne has the diplomatic skills of a hill of bulldog ants. They're mean. They're rude. They've really got a 'tude.

So, knowing that diplomacy isn't exactly a Sith strong point either, TMM has just set off the nearest alarm.

Is Thiron going to be the one who responds to the alarm?

And, BTW, what's the new artifact going to be?

Here's how it would work:

Jacen has recieved a coded message from Darth Solous to return to Korriban... by very similar methods to the one that the Jedi used to call all Jedi back to the temple...

It seems that things are getting ugly on the planets surface, and Solous would naturally want all the firepower he can get, and if he knows a young Sith with an avid hate for Jedi was nearby, he would likely call him in...

I wouldn't know what Solous' plans for Jacen are... I guess that would be for Tal to determine... but he may plan to kill Jacen off when he is of no further use... or for him to play second fiddle apprentice... or for him to just help guard the planet till kingdom come... Jacen doesn't know.

Also: Jacen doesn't always obey authority, but in this case he believes it is his best interests to obey the command. He knows nothing of the orb, in fact, he has no idea why he is being called to Korriban by Darth Solous, but he can feel that there is far more to it than he can see... so in a sense... the force is calling him there.

That sounds good to me.

Just a note: Liam might try to convince Jacen to become his (grey) apprentice - sympathizing with his plight and such.

Perhaps... but I wonder if Jacen would allow this to happen... he doesn't like being under any authority... but I guess it would depend on how they meet.. and the circumstances in which it takes place.

Jacen will probably do whatever he feels will be best for himself... and for no one else.

No. Convince Jacen to become HIS apprentice. Meaning Jacen is Liam's apprentice.

Oops... I typed "Liam" instead of "Jacen"... I have modified the post to fit what I meant... sorry for the confusion.

I don't know if Jacen would go for the apprentice thing... seeing how Liam is on the same team as the Jedi...

Jacen doesn't like Jedi you know... :p

You might realize that Liam doesn't like Jedi either... nor Sith. He is Grey and does what is best for himself.

I also said "try" to convince him... not succeed in convincing him.

But this will all be left fo the IC contact.

Yep... I realize that... Grey is fun! :)

You could certianly try... although I'm not sure how Jacen would react... I guess it would be determined upon the IC contact.

It would certainly be interesting to see how it would develop. :)

Well, it seems fine for me. As long as everyone else is cool with it, I would say go for it. (Maybe have Tal post the instructions from Solus before)

I like the character, so sure.

And Huntaer, basically hold on to the artifact for awhile. Sooner of later the big battle will happen, and then it's up to you guys to decide if you live or die. And let's have the artifact be....a crystal.

In that case, why don't we go to the logical end and make it another minor orb?

Dastardly Stench']In that case, why don't we go to the logical end and make it another minor orb?

Heh. That would make sense...

Exactly.

OK. I've just set up an orb in my last post...

...now...let's make a few twists on this...

TMM flubbed the translation.

It's not God's Egg, it's the Orb of Purity.

It doesn't right wrongs after a trial, it shows the minds of the people involved, and let's them duel.

It doesn't set things right, it drives the loser crazy.

...and, if it's used outside of the Arch of Purity, it drives EVERYBODY crazy.

...but, inside of the thing, if only one person goes in, and can stay sane long enough to figure it out, is a clue to the the purpose of the Orb of Forever.

Does that work?

I am cool with it.

hmm... sounds cool... I'll be sure to stay away!

hmm... sounds cool... I'll be sure to stay away!

That be kind of hard to do...

Everyone is converging on it.

Ok, so I'm holding another minor orb which the sith found, and I'm going to hand it over to Solus. Are the Jedi going to intervene?

Well the Jedi have basically sent TMM and Co. to investigate, so if you consider that Jedi intervention; yes. Other than that, I am not quite sure what the deal is. There might be republic soldiers and a major battle (:confused:)

Nobody got back to me on that. I would REALLY like to know what's going on with the battle, and, if it IS a go, I'd like to know how the Repub Guard gets its landing ships into Koriban. This isn't so much of a challenge as a "let's think this one out" sort of deal.

Either way, the Sith troops SHOULD be arriving at the temple ANY TIME NOW... (HEY, SITH PLAYERS! ***HINT!!!***) ...and they're going to run into TMM and Romalee. They might also run into Liam and Miriam at the temple door. The latter two, if they've gotten there, will be waiting with their weapons drawn, thinking that Thiron is the only one coming there.

Well, origonaly Shamman was suppose to have experience with that sort of thing since I thought I was going to use my main nation and not a sw type rp. Lady Nightshade, Darth Aelikes, and Shamman led the Huntarian Clone's and the Coredian (Lady Nightshade, aka dark side) troopers against an assasination to help prevent a future attack on G.E. grounds (this was late July, early August).

Considering he's Solus's apprentice in this universe, I guess he could have the same experience.

I would love to show up at the temple... but I have not been summoned through the force yet...

Please do that Tal... I want to get in on the action.

They send in a fleet, and send their landing craft, and the troopers and any Jedi that come with them go out.

Well, my troops are already at the temple for high guard under Shamman's command. It is the sith home world after all so it should have a higher alert for enemies (but sith have historically been... lax about security).

WEll I was thinking TTM sends a message when he finds out the number of Sith troopers on the planet guarding the artifact. And yeah, I'll go summon you to somewhere.

Cool... looks like us Sith are over our heads.

Why wouldn't those Repub landers come in under heavy fire?

Dastardly Stench']Which once again begs the question...

Dunno...? Why can't they?

Because it'd kill 'em all off before they even landed...?

That remains to be seen... we could always send them in and see what happens..

Dastardly Stench']Because it'd kill 'em all off before they even landed...?

That is up for the RPing. It depends on the extent of the defenses the Sith have and the number of Republic soldiers sent in.

So... I am not sure what to do anymore - I (we) are at the temple.

Do you guys want to get the battle on?

I say start now. I'll get a brief post up soon. Won't be too good though(god, it's late....::Yawn:: )

What you need to do is get some Sith troops going toward the side entrance. Then, TMM can see how many there are and call for help.

Quite frankly, I've been waiting for the Sith to arrive for three days now.

Are the Sith going to break that cloaking device? It's not as if Liam and Miriam haven't already. They've got him on "radar." Maybe some of the many Sith who are supposedly converging on the scene will notice the sensor images and bring TMM out of hiding that way. He's a pacifist--he won't start a fight.

He'll put in the call for help whether he's caught or not. Maybe the call for help could be what gets the Sith's attention.

Maybe they'll find him before then. Thiron is no fool. He's already noticed that there's a cloaking device in the area.

Then again, you might not want to break the cloak for a while.

Either Miriam or TMM has got to get to that orb (Liam shouldn't because he won't share the info--unless something can happen to make him trust the folks he's with). If they don't break TMM's cloak until he is close enough to reach it, it would make things that much easier, though, obviously, there would have to be a show-down between TMM and whoever's guarding the Orb of Purity.

Would it be OK if the Sith kept the Orb, but TMM got his mind inside of it and got the clue--which the Sith would then be free to get, too...? The show-down would end in a stalemate?

...which brings up the NEXT point in the plot.

This orb has some clue to the purpose of the Orb of Forever. What is that going to be?

Dastardly Stench']Thanks.

I'm thinking of having shamman lead a squad or two of troopers to the side entrance anyways. He'll then probably then use "force lightning" on the republic soldiers.

Break the cloak?? If I remember correctly, a Sith Lord (as my character is in this RP) could just sence that someone is in cloak and know that they are in the area.

I think he meant both.

The Metal Man is anti-Force. He doesn't exist in the force, thus you could not sense him. (That is my understanding anyway)

Oh. But they will be arriving there anyways, right?

Ok, missed that part. Since he is anti-force my character couldn't sence him as you said. Fair enough. I don't know when my character and his troops will break the cloak. I'll think of something.

That is what we are trying to figure out... (Basically the main discussion of the OOC thread for the past 3+ days)

Umm... not sure how you missed that; it is the most important thing (and one of the things DS mentioned multiple times) about TMM.

Missed that too. Then again, I wasn't paying much attention to the discussion for the last three days.

I'm one of those fast readers who miss the key details about characters. So when someone says "he is like this and that" I will sometimes go "Huh?"

I'm trying to talk with the two grey Jedi that just walked up to me...

Could either Miriam or Liam respond to me??? I just approached them.


Yes, I was kind of hired by Master Solous, but I don't know that, I just know someone called to me through the force, and I will not know who called to me until I see him, literally.

I was under the impression that he came out of the tunnel after seeing us converging (lets move the discussion to the Fracas OOC Thread: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=460940 )

Idk... maybe. I thought he also might be talking about Thiron.

But still, wouldn't we (Jacen, Miriam, Liam) have a conversation before he just blew me away. :)

Ah... now that I read more closely, I believe you are right:

Miriam and Liam were walking towards the second entrance to the temple just as you were. Thiron was on the inside waiting to ambush us, and TMM, who was also on the inside, noticed him and confronted him.

Alright... I will get a post up soon.

Yeah... that's the impression I get after re-reading it.

Because I'm not a Sith Assasin, just a mercenary, and I don't have all the cool extras the assasin has.... I just have a lightsaber and the force. And he mentions that 3 heat signatures are moving towards the opening (I'm assuming that's us three).

It's a little confusing... Rps can get that way sometimes.

I would post farther, but I thought I would let DS respond now, considering his character is right there. Also, letting Miriam fill you in on the details of the mission.

Yeh... the Sith characters really need to be doing something...

The clue. We seem to have already decided that the stone is something like a time-lord mind bending arena.

Ok, missed that part. Since he is anti-force my character couldn't sence him as you said. Fair enough. I don't know when my character and his troops will break the cloak. I'll think of something.

Someone who is familiar with him can sense the complete absecne of the force around him. Liam should be just starting to get the hang of it, if he's put his mind to it, after a month of so of close proximity.

I *think* the Metal Man just approached you...

In my most recent post, TMM
