The year: 3957 BBY.

The Galaxy is in tatters after two long years of war between the GALACTIC REPUBLIC, under the guidance of the Galactic SENATE and the JEDI COUNCIL, is fighting the forces of Sith Lord DARTH REVAN and his apprentice DARTH MALAK. The Jedi Temple on Coruscant is almost empty, and the Republic loses more and more Jedi to Revan's teachings. Republic forces are barely holding off the forces of the SITH EMPIRE under Darth Revan, fueled by the Star Forge, an ancient space station of the Dark Side.

In a Sith assault upon the water-world of Dac, Revan's flagship, the Morning Star, has been attacked by a team of Jedi Knights, tasked with the capture of the Dark Lord of the Sith.

That's where we come in. This RP begins with the Morning Star, with a Sith fleet including Malak's Leviathan, attacking Dac, and the Jedi using the battle over Dac as a way to board the Morning Star and take Darth Revan. You can make a character and choose your side, or be a named character in this massive battle. I will be RPing for Revan.

You can use any character from the Jedi Civil War (http://starwars.wikicities.com/wiki/Jedi_Civil_War), or you can make up one of your own.

Some major characters that need to be RPed:
Darth Revan
Darth Malak
Bastila Shan

Otherwise, you are free to RP whoever you wish. I may increase it to being able to RP for two characters to fill it up. You could be an Admiral, General, or Jedi with power over many soldiers, ships, and a fleet, or you could be a single character who fights around. The choice is yours.

If you wish to RP a made-up character, please put it in this format:

Name: Malak
Job: Sith
Alignment: dark
Starting Location: Leviathan
Position in Area: Over Dac ???
Baclground Information: Coward Sith Apprentice
Ship: Leviathan

You don't have to post that stuff if you're an actual character...only if you're making up a character.

Nevertheless, you are now Malak.

Name:Grand Templar Lucet (real name unkown)
Job/Classification Templar Jedi (see note)
Alignment:Light
Starting Location:Onboard the dreadnaught Sol Gladii
Position in area:approaching the battlezone
Background Information:The Grand Order of the Knights of the Temple, based on an ancient religious order from Terra, is a gathering of Jedi less worried about avoiding possibly dark actions, and mainly concerned about killing the Sith, the Dark Ones, and anything else that opposes the Light. Lord Lucet came to poer about 10 years before the Jedi Civil War broke out, during the Templar's 3rd Crusade against the Mandalorians. Lucet is a master of both the force and the massive lightsaber greatsword (really long lightsaber), and he is not affraid to use force to achieve the goals of the Light. Lucet commands a relatively small, but powerful force of Crusaders, ordinary beings who follow the Chrisitian Faith, and leads the legendary Black Fleet (200 dreadnaughts)
Ship (if he has one):Sol Gladii (Blade of the Sun in Medival Latin) large powerful dreadnaught, flagship of the Crusader fleet. Banks of Turbolasers, Ion cannons, and redundant shield generators cover its surface. Wile not as large as the Leviathin, it still poses quite a threat.

BTW, Lucet is Light in Latin. The Crusaders are about to join the civil war, Lucet just called for a 4th crusade, this one against the sith. There are only 200 Templar Jedi, however more Jedi are converting, because they see the weakness of their Order, and the power and skill of the Templars

Further note: After several Templar victories in the 3rd Crusade, Mandalore proposed a peace treaty, giving the Crusader States several more systems in exchange for peace.

One question: Can I be Canderous from Kotor?

@Sol: You can't just create an entire faction! And CHRISTIANS?!?! There are no Christians in Star Wars!!!!

EDIT: And a note - The Mandalorians of this era are known as the Neo-Crusaders. They are the Crusaders of Star Wars. The Old Mandalorians fought the original Crusade against whoever, the New Crusade against the Republic a decade ago.

EDIT2: The time period of your "crusade against the Mandalorians" is pre-Mandalorian Wars. Mandalore the Ultimate, at power at that time, would NEVER give up one inch of soil to anyone or anything. The Republic fought for almost a decade, with tens of thousands of Republic soldiers dying to take only a single planet, and several million MILITARY casualties alone in the entire War.

All Jedi who fought in the Wars, with only a single exception, turned to the Dark Side.

@Amazonian Beasts: Of course, he's all yours. You start on Taris under Davik, as in KOTOR. This is just starting right before the capture of Revan, to see if we change anything and KOTOR never happens.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO CHRISTIANITY!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I am going to invade your pathetic little country! I can do what I want!

You have less than half my population.

And anyway, There Are No Christians In Star Wars.
NONE. It's a fine religion in RL, but NOT IN Star Wars

I will be Atton Rand.

Job:Sith Assassin
Alignment: Dark
Starting Location: Leviathan
Position in area: Over Dac
Background Information:
Atton fought in the Mandalorian Wars as well as the Jedi Civil War. He originally fought with the Republic, but when Revan won against the Mandalorians and became Darth Revan, Atton joined him and the Sith. During the Jedi Civil War, Atton was part of an elite Sith Assassin unit, trained to resist Jedi Force powers and sent on missions to kill or capture Jedi to be broken and converted to Sith.
Ship (if he has one): None

All yours, Canadstein.

bumpish ness

Let the thread die in peace.

lol. It has potential just was never given a chance. It may live once more. Plust I'm absolutely bored nothing worht RPing in. So i'm just looking through my Favorites on my com

I'll be Bastila, I guess.

nice. Finally this might actually take off.

IC: "In your face Canadstein" spoke Darth Vaclavious


OOC: LOL

Name:Altor Briah

Species:Tarentian

Job/Classification: Jedi Consular

Alignment:Light

Starting Location: onboard the Morning Star I suppose

Position in area:Over Dac

Background Information:Before the war began, Altor was stationed at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant as an instructor. Due to the outbreak of the war, he was deployed along with the other jedi to combat the sith. In terms of combat skills, he prefers to use the Force rather than engage in direct combat. Yet despite this, his hand to hand combat skills are nothing to scoff at. He is skilled combining the trakata lightsaber style with form II: makashi.

Ship (if he has one):none

Well I don't wanna say I told ya so but.... I told ya so. Once again if I may


IN YOUR FACE CANADSTEIN

That's mean.

That's mean.
not really just proving a point I am

I'll play... but these things generally die. I hope this one doesn't...

I want to play a light side character for once (with emotions):

Name: Phillip T'sau
Job: Jedi Knight
Alignment: Light side
Starting Location: Wherever he needs to be
Position in area: idk...
Background Information: Phillip has been a member of the Jedi order since he was 6 days old. Raised as a Jedi, his goal is to one day be one with the Force, and to do the will of the Force. He will do whatever it takes to follow his heart... literally. His downfall is that he lets his emotions take over, a prototype of a Sith. But he uses restraint to some extent and caution when dealing with emotions and the Force. He will serve the Force faithfully.
Lightsaber: Single Blue Blade
Lightsaber Style(s): Makashi (Occasionally in Dueling), Vapaad (Rarely), Djem So (Standard)
Force Powers: Push, Pull, Meditation, Mind Control, Protection, Absorbtion, Saber Throw, Jump/Leap, Speed.
Ship (if he has one): Whatever he can use

by Meditaion do you mean Battle Meditation because meditation really isnt a power

by Meditaion do you mean Battle Meditation because meditation really isnt a power

No... meditation which increases reflexes and power for a certain ammount of time. It's quite effective. Some might call it "Deep Meditation".

The ability to emerse yourself in the Force and gain signifigant power from it is certainly a power... and most Jedi don't use it...

Sweet...this is actually taking off!

I'm not really that far into the SW universe, having only read one book and watched the movies once, but this seems cool and I thought I'd back it up, so here it goes :D

Name: Phantom
Job/Classification: Bounty Hunter
Alignment: The highest bidder.
Starting Location: On Dac.
Position in area: A place not too far from the fighting, but not in the middle of it :P
Background Information: Noone knows where Phantom originates from. He was found abandoned in a suburb, and was raised by an Assassin. Having no name, he has been running under the nickname of "Phantom" ever since he was a child, because of his ability to move unseen if he does not want to be seen.
Ship (if he has one): Nope, none...

Ahh I see what you mean now. Deep Meditation is always what I have called it

I'm going to add another requirement for what you must provide for your chracter. Provide your Species.

Meditation in the Star Wars universe is to gain a stronger connection to the Force, not gain more strength from it. It allows a wider connection by attuning into other things touched by the Force, and possibly feel the currents it is moving at.

((Which in turn will increase your strength and reflexes as those things are aided by the force.))

You're view of the universe must be quite small...

Deep Meditation does gain you strength... what else would it be good for?

And you fail to notice how it truly works.

Deep Meditation is solely used for gaining strength, for that seems to be very Sith-like of you. It can also be to clear your mind, allowing you to find avenues never thought there before, or simply rest with the strength you have now.

That's what I've been saying... you're the one who was claiming that it couldn't gain you strength in the first place.

Who cares if it's Sith like... in the times of the old Republic (in which this game is based) the Jedi used both Dark Side and Light Side powers.

The Jedi were more extreme in the times of the Old Republic (as around circa 4,000-ish BBY). Hence using Dark and Light powers were considered inscrutable.

Corection if I may, the main character (Revan or the Jedi Exile) Was potenially Dark Side or Light Side. So ergo he learned both, other wise the regualr Jedi learned light side skills and the dark side learned dark side skills. Though some skills were neutral. Push, Meditation, Heal are examples of neutral powers

Right...

Like the New Republic.

I think we should stop milking this and get ready to start the thread. I'll rush HL to get on

I totally freakin' agree with you.

I totally freakin' agree with you.
I wanna start now but I think we should wait for HL and let him open it up

Right...

Like the New Republic.

Correct. For example, the terms of marriage are allowed in the times of the New Republic.

If i can i want to have a second character but he is majorly minor. I wanna have Qrrrl Toq

Correct. For example, the terms of marriage are allowed in the times of the New Republic.
I actually believe the New Republic Rules are better than the mid-republic rules for the Jedi. Jedi if they were to pursue their emotions or wish to be married they were instantly shunned by the Jedi if this was found out and said they were turning Dark Side. So they would feed into that LIE and believe they were turning dark side and they would spiral down. In the New Republic there arent many accounts of fallen Jedi

Alright, I'll start the first thread with the opening. The Title of the thread will be:

(Closed RP): The Knights of the Old Republic

I need a good map for this time period. So this way I know what planets were discovered. Unless we want to use an easier solution and use all the planets on this map http://www.murox.net/swg/images/galaxy_map.jpg and we can say that they are all discovered

True, very true. The New Jedi preach more acceptance.

yes which allows more members too come in with less limits allowing them to be more light in the end being more devoting to the Jedi instead of going Sith for what is important to them. Ergo Anakin went Dark for it was only what the Sith would allow and not the Jedi

There, I responded, you post crazed maniac.

I'm glad I caught this one. The last Jedi RP I was in died so this better be a good one.

Position in area: Patrolling the area
Background Information:New to Naboo. He is a master jedi, trained in the 7th lightsaber combat skill, Juyo(Vaapad). Very Force Sensitive. Has two brothers who are also jedi. His brothers are located in different realms.

Well with regards to my character race, Tarentians are essentially human with the only difference being that they're able to hold their breath for extended periods of time while performing almost any activity.

Seidou, Dusk, confirmed.

Wooshaba, we have a problem. This is 1000 years before human settlement of Naboo. At this point it's only Gungans. You sure you want to start there?
