The New Jedi Academy

[MaiMizzu]

So... watching the Star Wars short 'The Apprentice'.. it really got me thinking. It's been a very long time since I've been in a good Star Wars RP.. and one NOT based on the Old Republic, as many have jumped onto that particular bandwagon. And with the new movies on the distant horizon.. I thought maybe now would be a good time for a good Star Wars RP.

So it would be set about 50 years after Return of the Jedi. The Republic is rebuilt (for the most part), as is the Jedi Order. The new Jedi Academy is just getting under way. The Jed Luke trained would be the ones who have begun the Academy. I would like this RP to be a new story, and not strictly follow the established canon that we have already seen. I don't want anyone to say "Well that's now how it happened in the stories..". This is our story, we're building anew. For example, I want to play the daughter of Leia and Han, who will be a Jedi in training. Her name might be Jaina, might not. If you want to take an established character and change the story of that character a little, bring it up. Let's discuss it. If you want an original character, even better.

I'd like most of the factions to be represented in some manner. Jedi, Republic citizens, bounty hunters, and perhaps a faction trying to rebuild the Empire. You can play whichever you like. But I do forsee the Academy getting the most play. In fact, it could hire out to Republic citizens that live somewhere in the Academy, maybe. They would be utilized as running transports and doing tasks for the council running the Academy maybe. Again, all of this can be discussed as we put together our galaxy.

As for the Academy itself.. well we'll need students and teachers. I think at the most.. for every 5 students there should be 1 Master, or teacher. It would be more of a classroom kind of atmosphere. And eventually students would be allowed to go on missions with the Masters, or accompany the people hired by the Academy for certain tasks. So at least one Master would be needed at first. And maybe each Master could specialize in a certain field.. like theories of the Force or a certain aspect of it, or dueling or something. But they would all teach general things about being a Jedi. And speaking of being Jedi, that wouldn't be a common thing anymore. Keeping in mind most of them were wiped out and all. It's possible the only Jedi in the galaxy are part of the Academy. So when one is seen outside of the Academy, it's quite a thing.
I am going to need someone to help me run this thing. Or.. someone to actually run it. As my pal will attest to, I am an awful GM. I'm more of an idea gal.

Some general (and negotiable)rules:
1. Please be able to post at least a paragraph. I want this to be about storytelling.
2. We don't need sex in the middle of one of the Academy classrooms. At least be respectful in that regard.
3. One character per player to start.
4. Combat system... do we really need one? If we're all good RP'ers and respectful of one another, there shouldn't be any conflict. But there will not be any killing or critically injuring of another character without the consent of the player. But if there is some kind of conflict about how a fight should end, then perhaps we can all talk about it. Or do a simple dice roll. No need to get overbearing about it.
5. Your character doesn't have to be jedi. You can be a smuggler transport captain that is being utilized by the Republic or the Academy. You can be a bounty hunter, whatever kind of character you would have fun with.

So let me know what you think. Thank you for reading.

[Barbarian]

I'm interested.

One thing to note: I'm no amatuer here and been to many one on one rps but this will be my first group experience and I may need some guidance (or may not, we shall see). So if that is not an issue, I would like to participate.

I can go in as a Jedi Padawan, a councelor apprentice probably. I also can take the role of a Master if the need arises though.

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Not sure what I would play, sort of liking the idea of a "ship captain" but unsure.  I am interested though.

[apygoos]

of course im here Ash :)

[PhantomPistoleer]

I would like to play a Jedi Master.

[ShadowFox89]

 I would be interested in playing a student... something odd though, perhaps like a Rattataki Jedi who was brought to the academy at infancy and has had to deal with some very aggressive tendencies.

[Batman4560]

Love me some Star Wars.

[MaiMizzu]

Since a few have shown interest, I went ahead and made an initial Wiki page for us. Just to put all our thoughts in one place. Tell me what you think, and what we can add to the story as we start. All of this is up for discussion.. so let's discuss!
https://elliquiy.com/wiki/JediAcademy  Our initial Wiki page
http://ayeneejedi.webs.com/ You can go here for some detailed information about the Jedi. It's an old page a friend of mine made years ago for RP'ing Jedi.

The story is set about 100 years after the destruction of the second Death Star. This is the second Jedi Academy, the first formed just a year or so after the second Death Star's destruction. But it didn't work, there were to many forces opposing it's creation at the time. And at the time, the stigma of being a Jedi was still strong within the Galaxy. But now, those who are Force sensative feel it is safer to be exposed to the public. And thus the second Jedi Academy was begun by Jedi trained by Luke Skywalker.

== Initial Classes ==
* Republic Trooper
* Jedi Padawan
* Jedi Knight
* Jedi Master
* Trasnporter
* Bounty Hunter
* Imperial Loyalist
* Sith (this will be a very limited class)
* Dark Jedi
* Force Adept


== Specialized Jedi Classes ==
Upon a Padawan's ascension to Knighthood, they faced the choice of continuing down one of three branches of Jedi training. Choosing based on preference and personal talents and skills, the opportunity to join the ranks of the Jedi Guardian, Jedi Consular, or Jedi Sentinel was open to all who passed the Jedi Trials.

=== Jedi Guardian ===
Knights preferring to take a physically active stance against the dark side of the Force and all other threats to the Republic were known to pursue the title of Guardian. Brandishing their lightsabers proudly, Guardians focused much of their training on perfecting their sparring and athletic skills, as well as the art of unarmed combat. The Force skills studied by the Guardians were typically those used for quickly disabling an opponent and aiding in agility and stamina. The most profound masters of this specialization were known as Warrior Master.
* '''Jedi Ace''' – Members of the Jedi Starfighter Corps were known as Aces and specialized and used a starfighter as an extension of their being, combining piloting skills with mastery of the Force.
* '''Lightsaber instructors''' – Stationed at the Jedi academy, these individuals were battle-scarred Masters who were determined to pass down their experience to the young students of the Order. The highest ranking instructor within the academy was given the title of battlemaster by the High Council and was responsible for selecting and referring future instructors.
* '''Jedi Peacekeeper''' – Those Jedi wishing to pursue a peacekeeping role were stationed within planetary or sectoral government's security agencies where they worked as the area's special police. Helping to quell riots and capture terrorists, the Temple Security Force was made up of Peacekeepers. Within its ranks, Jedi could be trained as Gate Master, Sniper, or Brute.
* '''Jedi Weapon Master''' – A Jedi Master who mastered the technique of wielding an exotic weapon was dubbed a Weapons Specialist, or Weapon Master. The Weapon Master was among the greatest physical fighters of the Order.

=== Jedi Consular ===
Focusing not on physical force but on mastery of the Force and the sharpening of mental skills, the Jedi Knights who became Consulars worked closely with the Republic Diplomatic Corps and medical facilities. Overseen by the Council of Reconciliation, Consulars worked as healers, prophets, and researchers, wielding a lightsaber only for self defense. The most studied masters of this specialization were known as Sage Master.
* '''Jedi Ambassador''' – The face of the Republic to each newly discovered world, Ambassadors worked closely with bureaucrats to assist in greeting unaligned governments and helping them join the Republic. Some Ambassadors were designated as advisers to certain Senators or even the Supreme Chancellor upon request.
* '''Jedi Diplomat''' – Always right in the middle of a dispute, Jedi Diplomats were given the authority to hammer out a compromise or treaty during tense negotiations, backed by the full support of the Senate and Jedi Order. Jedi were often called upon to act as impartial diplomats. This was possibly due to the Order's traditions of detachment from secular society and the phenomenon of Force-guided intuition. They would serve as moderators and negotiators during disputes, and their judgments were recognized as just and binding. When acting as diplomats, Jedi took the utmost care to be impartial and fair-minded. The legacy of this impartiality was such that, decades after the Jedi Purge and Palpatine's false accusations of the corruption of the Jedi Order, the legend of Jedi impartiality lived on in the memories of some sections of galactic society. Some species who respected the Jedi – for example, the Barabel – retained a tradition of calling upon a Jedi's impartial judgment even for minor interpersonal disputes
* '''Jedi healer''' – Some Jedi would focus on the more humanitarian aspects of the Force, manipulating the Living Force to perform the art of healing. Led by the Circle of Jedi Healers and headquartered out of the Coruscant Temple's Halls of Healing, healers were also deployed to serve aboard MedStar frigates and, occasionally, in Republic's mobile surgical units, or Rimsoos.
* Jedi Lore Keeper – Jedi wishing to contribute to the growth of the Jedi Archives would become Lore Keepers, a group directed by the Librarian's Assembly. Divided into historians, archivists, and librarians, each group worked for the proliferation of knowledge and preservation of the past.
* '''Jedi Researcher''' – Solving theory and updating the Archives of the Order, researchers chose specializations such as that in archaeology, geology, biology, mathematics, and astronomy.
* '''Jedi Seer''' – Those Jedi specifically predisposed to receive visions through the Force were known as Seers, maintaining and updating the Order's holocrons. The most perceptive of these Jedi were known as Prophets and foretold the future of the galaxy.

=== Jedi Sentinel ===
Knights that sought a balance between the intensive combat training of the Jedi Guardians and the wider philosophical views and teaching responsibilities of the Jedi Consulars. These Jedi ferreted out deceit and injustice, bringing it to light. They were generally employed in scouting missions and were skilled in security, computers, or stealth techniques, and also had diplomatic skills.
* '''Jedi investigator''' – Jedi specially appointed by the High Council to uncover hidden and obscure threats to the galaxy such as powerful criminal syndicates, corruption and conspiracy against the Republic and other shady menaces. The Jedi investigator would often work alone and undercover to infiltrate suspicious organizations or would be busy investigating some act of crime.
* '''Jedi Shadow''' – The secret police of the Order, Shadows worked under the supervision of the First Knowledge Council and were dispatched to destroy all agents of the dark side. Heavily employed after the New Sith Wars, the Shadows were responsible for erasing the word "Sith" from the minds of the majority of galactic citizens.
* '''Jedi Watchman''' – Jedi Watchmen were charged with overseeing a particular system or sector, thus serving as a type of liaison officer between the system or sector and the High Council as well as the Republic in general. Jedi Watchmen were often highly skilled in diplomacy and possessed knowledge of the culture of the system or sector they oversaw; typically having spent many years living amongst the people of said world.

== The Code of the Jedi ==
The code as revised by Luke Skywalker.
    Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy.
    Jedi use their powers to defend and to protect.
    Jedi respect all life, in any form.
    Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.
    Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.

[ShadowFox89]

 Hmm... are we assuming all books/comics in the EU to be non-canon then? It would make things simpler I suppose, and allow us to make things up whole cloth.

[MaiMizzu]

That's really what we want to go for. I think if we followed canon, there would be so many who say 'well thats not how it happened' or 'you cant fo that cause this happened'. It's our story, I want us to have free rein. within reason. luke skywalker is not a lapdancer.. for example.

Never thought I'd be able to say that in a sentence.

[ShadowFox89]

 Well no, not Luke. Now, Mara.... :D

Hm... so would a Rattataki Jedi Sentinel (leaning to Shadow) with Grey Knight tendencies work out? Not wholly dark, but she does love to fight (and has an odd fondness for flowers).

[RubySlippers]

What no none Jedi Force users like Force Adepts and Darkside Adepts for other options, I could see a wise light sided adept being welcome to teach if not train Jedi proper bring a different perspective. And their Darkside versions. Technically they as a group likely would outnumber the Jedi since there are many varied traditions in the Canon.

[Baalborn87]

I'd like to add my interest to this. Maby as a Jedi Consular who leans towards healing and "herbology". Maby found later in life (early- mid teens) living in the wilds with some animal friends.

[MaiMizzu]

I added 'Force Adept', to represent those who are Force sensitive but not aligned with anyone in particular yet.

I'll do my best to work on a CS tomorrow after work, and hopefully have it up tomorrow. Also, anyone willing to co-GM this with me? I'm really bad at being a GM.

[Pumpkin Seeds]

I found a picture that offered me a lot of inspiration. 



So I am a little torn between an investigator and simply playing a padawan due to my inexperience playing Jedi.

[MaiMizzu]

I think it should be noted, in case it's not clear.
If you're playing a student, you wouldn't be very advanced at all in regards to being a Jedi. You're a student, and the academy just started. Now if you wanna be a master, or a teacher or something.. that's different, pick whatever you like. But a student shouldn't expect to be anything near advanced when starting. Like my character will know some things through her family, but she won't be that advanced at all.

[ShadowFox89]

 Hmm... Another idea is a Sith/Dark Jedi who is cloaking his/her darkside energies and is intent on corrupting the padawan.

[MaiMizzu]

Hmm... Another idea is a Sith/Dark Jedi who is cloaking his/her darkside energies and is intent on corrupting the padawan.

Would such a character really be powerful enough at this point in time to be on the inside of an academy full of Jedi, most of them highly trained, and still exert his/her powers enough to corrupt other students while remaining hidden? Is that feasible, or am I looking to much into it?

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Why not play a padawan that is struggling with that and draws others into the struggle as well?  That might make for a more dynamic roleplay as the character draws the other students into his own struggle with emotion and such.  Maybe he falls to the dark side..maybe, with the help of the teachers and students, he remains with the Jedi or mayhap he brings the others with him.

[Muse]

  What sort of age range are you looking for here, Mai?  i was thinking about perhaps a 17 year old Zabrack.  16 is within sight rules, but some people have hang ups with writing characters bellow eighteen who might wind up in erotic situations. 

[ShadowFox89]

Could work too. The jedi idea was going to be a Rattataki, and they have tendencies towards violence to begin with.

[MaiMizzu]

For students, they would have to be younger in the start. Like 16-21 perhaps. My character, she'll be 18 actually. As for the hangups about lower age range sex... well some of our characters are like giant lizards are covered completely in fur or has giant tentacles protruding from their heads. I don't think actual age number would matter much.

The jedi idea was going to be a Rattataki, and they have tendencies towards violence to begin with.

Just keep in mind.. this is an Academy. And people would be let go if they got to out of hand. I mean it's a friggin school, for all intents and purposes. If a student is constantly strangling students but then says 'well its how my race is', then they would most likely be asked to leave.

[Pumpkin Seeds]

I'm leaning toward my own character being very much an inquisitive person, but also head strong.  She would enjoy being with the others, but is probably someone that would lead them into trouble which might play well with Shadow's character wanting to fight.  As she's trying to do good and find the truth, she's inadvertently walking another student down a bad path or at least not helping him much.

[Crash]

Mind if I join Ash? I may be a slow post during school, but this looks like fun.  I'll definitely play a padawan.

Nah, nothing like that. But being very aggressive in a fight and jumping more towards the aggressive negotiations side of things.

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Yeah, he's a little quick to "defend" his fellow students.   >:)

[MaiMizzu]

Mind if I join Ash? I may be a slow post during school, but this looks like fun.  I'll definitely play a padawan.

Surely

[ShadowFox89]

 Well, he or she. Depends on what everyone else goes with and would be interested in :P

I can play a suave dark corrupting guy or a similar gal.

[apygoos]

Nah, nothing like that. But being very aggressive in a fight and jumping more towards the aggressive negotiations side of things.

one of the 7 [8] forms of lightsaber combat yields a highly aggressive stance and techniques. iirc its juyo. this stance is often most seen with dual wielders

[ShadowFox89]

 Well, there's Juyo and Ataru. Ataru was favored by Anakin.

[Crash]

I see a Meikle lurking. :D

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Going to go with Velrika Kashyl for my Togruta.  Thinking that she was plagued with visions and noticed strange occurrences around her during times of stress.  Unfamiliar with the force, she left her people for fear of hurting anyone and instead went in search of the truth about what was happening to her which lead her to the new founders of the Jedi Academy.

[apygoos]

Well, there's Juyo and Ataru. Ataru was favored by Anakin.

yes, in his younger years Obi-wan favored Ataru before adopting soresu as his primary stance. Obi-wan has demonstrated a proficency in just about every form of combat though, which is part of what made him such a  great jedi and general during the clone wars.
there is also vaapad [Juyo variation developed by Windu], but only strong willed jedi would be taught that, due to how close to the dark side it takes you.

[Aiden]

I'm interested.

Perhaps as a "Smuggler" (Think Han Solo XD) who works closely with the academy.

Or a student, teacher...I don't know, depends on how it all breaks down when sheets start going up.

[Crash]

Hmmm do I go...Nautolan, Miraluka or Zabrak?

Hey Aiden.

[Pumpkin Seeds]

:: tackles Aiden:: Is your Smuggler gonna teach my padawan all about worldly matters?

[Aiden]

Maybe drop hints that the world is not black and white.

Sometimes you need to deal with a slimy Hutt in order to better a situation.

Sup Crash

[MaiMizzu]

I'm headin to bed now, folks. Keep the ideas comin, and if there's anythng we need to add please say so. I hope to have a CS up tomorrow.

[Muse]

How's this guy?  (Sleep well, Mai-chan!)

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Name:      Zael Mattock

Age:      19
Height:      1.9 meters (6’3”)
Weight      
Build:      Kinda broad in the shoulder and narrow at the hip. 
Features:   Caramal colored skin.  Butterscotch eyes with gold rims.  Raven black hair in a small of back length pony tail.  A double row of horns atop his brow, the upper row extending around to his ears. 

History:   Note, the Mattock family are no relation to the infamous Darth Maul.  During the imperial era, two quarry slaves met, fell in love, and discovered they were both gifted with the Force.  It’s been strong in their line ever since.  Because of the unpopularity of the Jedi at the time, the Matttock family never pursued knowledge of the Light Saber… 
   Until now. 
   The Mattocks have produced three force sensitive children this generation, Zael, and his twin cousins Zoey and Kessa.  All three are fast learners, had have picked up much of what the family is able to teach.  Along with basic force awareness and telekenisis, the Mattocks are good at telekinetic enhancing their own motions allowing their fists to strike like…  Well, you know.  Mattocks also have some knowledge of how to use the force to increase their own resilience. 
   Grandfather Kyorl can catch blaster bolts…  on his chest.  Zael is still struggling to replicate this feat, practicing occasionally with a sporting blaster on stun.  He’s managed I a few times, but usualy gets knocked out a few shots into the training. 
   While Zoey and Kessa—21 years old—are now interested in exploring the galaxy—Zael has achieved his family’s blessing to join this new jedi academy and see how very much more there is to learn. 

Other skills: 
   A broad basis in academics. 
   Computer operations. 
   Hand to hand combat in a style similar to thai chi blended with muy thai, and with bludgeons. 
   Land speeder piloting.
   Music: A style involving a small synthesizer mixed with deep voiced chanting.   

Signature Tools:
   Bracer computer. 
   10 pound sledge with an advanced alloy head and electrum plating.  This was his grandfather’s weapon for use in war or honorable combat.  More useful for strength and endurance training. 
   Rissus III Resonating Crystalline Keyboard. 

[Pumpkin Seeds]

I would like that for her, might add well to her becoming more of an Investigator as he shows her the underworld and about people's motivations.

[Batman4560]

Wow I was gone for like five hours...

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Come join the fun.

[Aiden]

I would like that for her, might add well to her becoming more of an Investigator as he shows her the underworld and about people's motivations.

Yea. I'm leaning towards that roll more and more.

Luckily the academy can pay him when he comes across those rare holocrons, crystals (that will make sabers) and other artifacts that gets a jedi giddy like a cat on catnip.  XD

Might have a young son as a padwan (off screen) as a "reason" he works so closely to the academy. Not sure.

[Batman4560]

I'm gonna throw this out there. Mandalorian.

[Aiden]

You want to be my Bobba Fett to my Han?  XD

[PhantomPistoleer]

My Jedi Sentinel (who is also a Jedi Master).  Dibs on the pic. ;)

[Crash]

May see what our ratio of male to female is before I decide where I want to go with mine.

[LimitlessNikkie]

I'm interested. Flushing out an idea but kinda favoring a bit of shadow to all the good guys around here ;)

[apygoos]

alright now its really a party :)

[Batman4560]

Mandalore Wants You!!

[zergmuncher]

Alright I'll bite. I'm all hyped up on Star Wars and I'd love to be in this. I'd have a tough time choosing a class or profession. Either Bounty Hunter or a sith oriented force user if that's even a possibility. But bottom line is i'm interested.

[Josietta]

Mmm Boba...... the Fettish is strong in this one!

*would love to play or even run across Boba's love child to some wayward woman at the Cantina, the child would have joined the Academy to learn the ways of the force so she can be better than anyone else and still  have other skills to top it*

[Aiden]

Gonna have to wait for the Gm to put some order.

The idea itself seems to focus on Jedi Academy but if they do go on missions, some encounters with Sith and Bounty Hunters is very likely.

[catherinehellfire]

Dang I want to join as a padawan but I don't think there are enough actual full jedi for the amount of padawans

[Josietta]

That is why I said -if- i played the love child of Boba and some wayward woman that she would be in training at the Academy. Bianca Fett (or likely a different name), 16-17 year old Jedi Padawan training to become a Jedi Knight (or if needs be for more actual Jedi I'd be up for changing her age and making her a Knight instead :D)

Or Boba could have been her grandfather or some such... >.>   Dark hair definitely runs in the family but its not a solid thing yet.

I'm off to sleep but Punkin sent me over to have a peeksee what this was. :)

[Aiden]

I'm afraid I would suck as a Jedi teacher, damn my inner Sith.  XD

[Pumpkin Seeds]

The GM did say she wants a high ratio of students to teachers 5:1 I believe.

[Aiden]

"-Aiden's characrter name here-
Welcome students to real piloting 101, this is your captain speaking and I am going to teach you how to use instinct over your alleged force. Shall we begin?"

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Does this ship have the "Warning: Student Driver" sticker on it?

[PhantomPistoleer]

The problem with sub-orbital engines is, once you see the "warning: student driver" sticker on there, you're pretty much dead.

[Crash]

Josi!

Hmm, I could make a teacher instead of a padawan if we need it.

[Aiden]

-Enters all the padwans into a pod race-

Good luck kids.

[Crash]

Hmmm....

Male

Or....

Female

[catherinehellfire]

Dang well if that's the ratio then I want a female Twilek padawan

[RubySlippers]

Aidaana Fulkur

Human Force Adept

Pacifist Mystic of the Living Force

[MaiMizzu]

So here's what we have so far:
MaiMizzu - Padawan
Barbarian - Padawan (or Master if needed)
PhantomPistoleer - Master
ShadowFox89 - Padawan
Baalborn87 - Force Adept
Pumpkin Seeds - Padawan
Aiden - Ship's Captain possibly
Muse - Force Adept (did you want to be an actual student?)
Zergmuncher - Bounty Hunter or Sith
CatherineHellfire - Padawan
Crash - Master or Padawan, whichever is needed
RubySlippers - Force Adept

6 students
1 confirmed Master, maybe another
1 ship's captain
1 bounty hunter or sith
3 Force Adept

Does that look right? If it isnt, please correct me.

When i get home from work I'll work on a CS and ooc thread .. as well as a level system for the Academy. they are students, after all. If you play a Master, i'dlike you to be able to come up with lessons or challenges for students. im not asking for a frelling curriculum... but the masters are here to teach, to be mentors.

talk to y'all tonight

[Barbarian]

After your input, I'ld like to take the role of a Knight, a Diplomat Councelor if that's appropriate.

A Jedi that newly earned the rank of Knight but not ready to take on the role of a Master. I can fit in as an advisor role for Padawans, if not mentor and attend to middle threat matters on which a Master will not bother his time and where a Padawan is not to be sent alone.

[Imogen]

I'd be interested in a Jedi investigator.

[apygoos]

id be intersted in an investigator, or shadow, leaning more towards investigator right now. whether they're a knight or a master remains yet to be seen, but they're going to be damn good at what they do.
also
is a resurgence of the Revanites possible? The Revanite philosophy of balance in the force with ones self, employing both light, and dark, might be a fun one for a small faction of the RP. before hunted out and forced into complete and entire secrecy by the sith empire, all kinds of people joined the Revanites, not just jedi or sith.

[Wajin]

I'd love to play a Grey Knight, but at the same time I'm leaning heavily towards a weapon master due to my fondness of exotic lightsaber variants... What about Jedi Artisans by the way? I'd love to mix the two actually, a Weapon Master and Artisan... could make a fun mix

[MaiMizzu]

I think for now we stick to the jedi classes listed.

The revanites can be a small faction,  but I don't see their philosophies being taught at the academy. Maybe a mention of what they are about,  not much beyond that

[Wajin]

Can't wait to get a CS up... also... What races are we allowed to play? can it be everything from Wookie to Gormak?

[MaiMizzu]

I don't see any races being off limits. But keep in mind some races can't use the force. But thowe are few and far between
If we think your race won't work, we'll let you know. Ill have the cs template up tonight. Cant do it on my phone

[Scribbles]

If there's still room, I'd like to join with a padawan.

[masked stranger]

I'm interested but like Barbarian I lack experience with group games. I also post from a phone which can make exceedingly long posts problematic. If that doesn't matter then I'd love to play a grey jedi from a reformed Empire on a goodwill mission - either a student sent to learn or a fully trained force user sent to observe. I think it would be interesting to butt heads over the philosophies of the different orders.

[LimitlessNikkie]

Id like to play a padawan as well.

[Aiden]

Smuggler Attire

Suck it Jedi Robes, just saying!

[Imogen]

Hey Aiden,

If I make an investigator, care to be her partner in crime? As in, he frequently pilots her to some distant and not so savory parts of the galaxy for her to root out those who shall not be named? :-)

[apygoos]

Smuggler Attire

Suck it Jedi Robes, just saying!

hey now, jedi have some pretty awesome gear.

[Aiden]

Sure thing, he can be her liaison to some of the fringe worlds and systems.

"Listen here doll, you might be top shit out in the civilized worlds, but you got to know how to talk to people out here, especially these damn hutts. Now pipe down and let me do the talking."

[Imogen]

*thumbs up* awsome :-)

[PhantomPistoleer]

*thumbs up* awsome :-)

Imogen, you are in this thing, too?  Rad.

[Aiden]

smuggler to me is space cowboy, so...not sure which world has that "Texan drawl" but I will have it.

I'm going a combo of some of my favorites, Jim Raynor and John Marston.

[Imogen]

Imogen, you are in this thing, too?  Rad.

Hahaha. Indeed I am! Starts to look as if I'm stalking, eh? ;-)

[Crash]

Planning on a Jedi Consular myself.  Heavy into force powers and does instruction in lightstaff combat.

Teaches diplomacy, force use and some advanced combat courses in integrating force use with saber combat.

[PhantomPistoleer]

Hahaha. Indeed I am! Starts to look as if I'm stalking, eh? ;-)

Yes, as a matter of fact it does!  But I like it.

[Batman4560]

Mia, I want to play a bounty hunter/Sith.

[Crash]

Wow this is nice cosplay.  I may have to use her.

I was thinking for the "opening" scene for my Smuggler, he gets the two Jedi back to the academy before "classes" start.

I am still debating if I should get a Wookie co-pilot, I want my own NPC crew.

[Crash]

Yeah, I am thinking a protocol droid NPC for my Consular.

I'd be up for that. Actually, that'd be perfect. Well, not the wookie... I don't have an opinion on that other than that two wookies are better than one wookie -nods-

[Aiden]

I am still going to go with him having a son back at the Academy, most likely a Youngling. (Not sure how the code works with kids, All I know is that young kids need to go early, so maybe the news that HE is the dad was not shared to the council)

Whether the child knows is something I have yet to decide. But it will be the reason he works so closely with the academy. He is trying to give his son a better life and maybe he was convinced (by Imogen's charterer if she is up for it) that it is the best path.

Totally am :-)

[Aiden]

Sweet, I will PM you with more background stuff when the sheets go up.

Since you are a master? And My guy has a son Between (6-9) we won't be teenagers or anything.

I was thinking 32-36 is a good age for my guy, enough time to earn a reputation in the galaxy (for those people who need to know it)

 I wish there was a better gallery of images to pick through for Rattataki....

Yep, Master level was the intention so she can both teach and 'clean up the universe' whenever necessary, might lead to cancelled classes every now and then ;-)

[Josietta]

I am going to withdrawl my interest.

I have far too much else going on to try and tackle a big faster paced game like this.

Thank you for the idea and offer however. :)

[Crash]

Yeah, finding really cool and realistic looking alien jedi hasn't been easy.  I am still deciding between races and gender at the moment.  I like the Zabrak woman I found, but apparently she is a well known character.

Ahhh Josie, you know its just the eager talk of a new game!

Awww, no Josi. :(

I don't plan on posting that fast. ;)

But...we have cookies? Please come back?

Imogen, is your character also a Jedi master?

Aye. Should be.

I hope she takes some students with, jedi padawan should be more help than Short-Round :P

This is about the best I can do for a picture, I'll have to find better looking clothes for her...

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Rika will definately love the exploring.  So how does the Master and Padawan thing work?

I said Wookies!! Not Rookies!!

*knows Aiden*

[Aiden]

"You want a place to sleep? Go tell the Wookie you are taking his room, I sure as hell ain't. Ohh did you know a Wookie is capable of ripping you in half? Just thought you should know that." XD

[Aiden]

It changes from time to time.

Normally it is one Master to student, but since this is an Academy it might be working different. But a master oversees the training of a padwan until he/she is ready for the trails to become a knight and then, said knight can take her own padwan.

[PhantomPistoleer]

In fact, it is necessary for a knight to train a padawan to become a master.  This is a little different in the New Republic era, though.

[Aiden]

Ohh that makes sense, I tend to stick to Sith. And the only way to become a Master is to kill your own. Jedi have it so much easier!  XD

[ShadowFox89]

Kana Foss, ready to go out and adventure :D

I hope the image didn't stretch too badly >.>

[PhantomPistoleer]

Incidentally, this is also different in the New Republic era.

[ShadowFox89]

 Well, it depends. Darth Krayt changed things, but since we're not doing the whole EU thing we can just make shit up as we go.

WIP

Jedi Master Ulrich Lieger
Full Name: Ulrich D'Chan Urdova Lieger
Class:  Jedi Sentinel/Jedi Master
Species:  Human
Gender:  Male
Occupation:  Jedi Master, Instructor
Home World:  Chandrila
Height:  5'10
Weight:  170 lbs.
Eyes:  Brown
Hair:  Brown

Powers:  Jedi Master Lieger is a force-sensitive male from Chandrila.  Through years of instruction at the Yavin Academy and under the tutelage of Jedi Master Corran Horn, Lieger entered into Knighthood and then into Mastery of the Force.  He is very capable in all matters of force manipulation, but his most impressive talent is the accuracy of his telekinesis.  For example, Jedi Master Lieger is able to use his lightsaber without his hands to deflect blaster bolts.

Abilities:  Jedi Master Lieger is a formidable opponent with a lightsaber, but seldom spars conventionally (master of Form II).  He has acquired a number of skills throughout his adventures, including survival craft, weapon maintenance, starfighter piloting and knowledge of the hunt.  He has been instructed in modern methods of investigation by Corran Horn.  He has a very deep and profound knowledge of the force, and the many facets that peopled its history in the last millennium.  He is a competent instructor in matters of the force.

Personality:  Taciturn and forlorn, Jedi Master Lieger is a very serious man.  He is patient, methodical and precise.  He does not mince words.  He takes his job as instructor very seriously.  He is not diplomatic, and likely very intimidating, but that is mostly because he has an unkind face.

History:  DOES ANYONE WANT TO HAVE A LINK IN HISTORY?

[PhantomPistoleer]

All right, so.

Does anyone want to have a link in history?  Please let me know.

[Batman4560]

Depends on if I am allowed to play a Mandalorian Sith. If not then I would like to.

What's your pitch going to be, Batman?  Why would they want a Mandalorian Sith at the Jedi Academy? o_O

I would be interested. Perhaps Ulrich discovered Kana and brought her to the academy?

  Oh!  He's a student Mai.  Didn't mean to imply otherwise.  :)

Done.  What were the circumstances?

The IC Thread should start soon but we're still recruiting!

As for new players, if you think you're flexible, we encourage you to design Padawan or Non-Force User characters as we have a fine number of Masters so far. That doesn't mean Masters are not allowed at all, if you think you really really crave to play a Master, then you're welcome to do so. But keep in mind that this game focuses more on Padawans and their trials as the name represents, the Jedi Academy!

The OOC thread: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=190963.0

You can also find the Character Sheet in the first post.

And here's the last update about character creation;

We wanted to simplfy things by making all the same level characters have more or less same level of powers. For this, three stages can be considered;

Padawan - Knight - Master

(Note: These levels are pretty much the same for "non-force" users. For example a Republic trooper who is a new recruit is same as a Padawan, a veteran of some wars is same as Knigth and a captain of years long battles, as Master.)

That means if you don't specify your characters strong and weak points, all the characters of same "status" have more or less the same strenght. So basically, a Master is not way more powerful and skilled than another Master. Of course, you can state some focus for your characters skills like "he's great at acrobatics" or "she has a really strong memory" but that means your char. is just slightly better than others in that field, not that he beats others to the ground.

That being said;

If you want your character to be exceptionally good at something (for example, one-on-one lightsaber combat), you're very much welcome to state that. But there should also be a drawback and you also have to name that weakness. Maybe you've mastered 1on1 style, but you are not good against a dozen opponents or maybe you're not so good at mental Force Powers like healing or mind tricks.

So basically, all characters on same status are pretty much on same power levels. You may name focus skills which you're a little better than others, no problem. But if you name your character as "one of the best" in galaxy, he/she should also have an equal weakness.

[Mysterica]

I'd love to join in on this idea as a padawan if you are still accepting!  Let's see what comes up... will take a little time...

Is this still open? I'm itching for a Star Wars RP.

I have a force sensitive bounty hunter who was raised by Ewoks during her early years. Would something like that work in line with this group?
