I sort of want to do a Star Wars Jedi life thing. Players would play students brought as younglings and the role play would follow them as they became padawans learned lightsaber forms, specialized and made there own lightsabers. Then as they become knights either fall to the dark side leave or take padawans of their own.

The problems I'm facing are rather typical:

Finding a place that isn't totally chocked to the gills with canonical material.
-I'm thinking after the Battle of Ruusan where the Jedi order become more structured. Though I would like to use the academy on Corusant (sp. Will happen a lot)

Stuff like that. It will take a long time. So this is a petition for help and ideas.

Primarch

I'd be quite interested, will you be GMing the game or playing the roll of an instructor or some such?

Vandren

I'd be potentially interested.  Depends on whether you're planning system (and what system) or freeform.

As far as timing, really anything that isn't during episodes 4-6, or even 1-3, ought to work.  Seeing as everything that goes on outside those six movies is technically non-canon, it can be changed with impunity without harming the fabric of the setting.  At least in this fan's mind.  :)

Inkidu

I don't know much in the way of systems but I will let someone GM that aspect. I can control story and direction (Note Master he he)

I would really like to put Yoda in it but that's because he's Yoda and his badass factor is +infinity. It needs a lot of work. I might even have to come up with some non-canonical conflict.

Foxy

I would be interested but the only system I have is the old D6.  I am fine with free form though.

Inkidu

I appreciate the interest but I require a lot more learning on my part. My knowledge is cursory with the fan-base at best.

Still I have it down in the way the students know each other. They're all in the same clan of younglings. I just want to nail down the time. I like the master padawan dynamic so it will be after the restructuring but before the Clone Wars.

Vandren

Period sounds good.  :)

Regarding system and whatnot, freeform may be the best route to go as far as attracting players. 

For myself, I've used the WEG d6 SW system, but don't have any of the materials, so the only adaptable system with which I am familiar and have materials would be GURPS.  And that adaptation has considerable flaws (there are GURPS SW conversions out there, but Force powers don't translate well in most of them).

I've just finished reading up on the seven lightsaber forms and what goes into making a lightsaber. Crucial bit in a Jedi's training. (Cool Jedi is in the spellchecker.) It will be required that everyone take a form, or two or modify some forms at some points. Unfortunately it's not under one Wookipedia page so you have to look them all up individually.

Well I think system will be more fair when we do things like combat. I just have no knowledge base for systems. I only understood d6. That a standard die.

The Challenge now is coming up with a galaxy wide, not war, but crisis. It would help keep the padawans and masters close doing different missions on same planets. So I can keep the role play moving forward.

I've actually got the better part of the story down. I just kind of want it to fit better. It feels jagged....

If you want any advice I'm a admitted SW fanboy (been in and out of rehab for years now :P), got a large knowledge base. Would gladly help with sussing things out if it might help get things running.

Vandren

Certainly willing to help out as well, as both a SW fan for the last 20+ years and an editor.  :)

Count me in.


Oh if only... (Lit major. There is a lack of females in the Empire to show the attachment to technology and an absence of nature.)

I love analyzing Star Wars from a literary perspective.

Anyway, here's what I have:

The specifics are still a little iffy but a group of force sensitive beings is taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant (which is actually a word, it means shinny or lustrous) they're all put into the same clan of younglings and train with one another, building a strong relationship with each other.

About the time they become older padawans. Preparing for the trials a conflict breaks out in the mid to outer rims of the galaxy. Typical Sith reemergence. Can't beat that. Backed with pirates and criminals.

It takes place after the reformation but before the events of Knights of the Old Republic.
The role play starts on their first days of training (Fourish I supose)
Motivations are all up to the players.

What I need is:

A few older padawans to become knights when the clan grows up.
And the younglings themselves. Will accept two profiles one for a youngling and one for a would-be knights. Though you have to be someone else's youngling/padawan.

Lightsabers come later of course. But you can have an idea for your profile.

Profile:

Name
Age
Rank
Favored forms: I-VII (Look up forms on wookiepedia. Maximum of two)
Favored force powers: four max (Core do not count ie. Push, pull, speed, sense, saber throw.)
Lightsaber (Or projection thereof)

My only problem now is. System or free form?
I just can't seem to make up my mind. What would you guys and ladies prefer?

Eh actually it's as canon free as I could get it. The reformation is just when the Jedi Order became stricter. Age restrictions, the Padawan/Master training style. The formality and robes.

Knights of the Old Republic is easy enough to look up.

No, I mean stuff like the various lightsaber forms, et cetera.   :-)

I have a funny looking little Trandoshan Padawan I could resurrect.  He was kind of fun, even though the game sank almost at once.

Form I: Shii-Cho, also known as The Way of the Sarlacc, or The Determination Form, was the first of the seven forms of lightsaber combat.

Form II: Makashi, also known as The Way of the Ysalamiri, or The Contention Form, was the second form of the seven forms of lightsaber combat.

Form III: Soresu, also known as the Way of the Mynock, or The Resilience Form, was the third of the seven forms of lightsaber combat.

Form IV: Ataru, also known as the Way of the Hawk-Bat, or The Aggression Form, was the fourth of the seven forms of lightsaber combat.

Form V: Shien / Djem So, also known as The Way of the Krayt Dragon, or The Perseverance Form, was the fifth of seven forms.

Form VI: Niman, also known as The Way of the Rancor, The Moderation Form, and The Diplomatic Form, was the sixth form of the seven forms of lightsaber combat.

Form VII
: Juyo / Vaapad, also known as The Way of the Vornskr, or The Ferocity Form, was the seventh of seven forms.

No not in that sense. I'm talking about a Master and Student railroading if they're played by the same person. You can play someone else's master just not your own.

My character:
QuoteName: Kizar Kommizzar
Age: 13
Rank: Padawan
Favored forms: II + IV
Favored force powers: Force Valor, Force Absorb, Battle Precognition and Force Grip
Lightsaber:  Single lightsaber, Green Blade, with modification to adjust blade length rapidly. Crystals used, Lava Crystal (causing a less concentrated or "focused" blade, but very hot, even compared to regular lightsaber blades) and a Firkrann Crystal (causing a minor electrical discharge on blade contact)

Further Info: Kizar is a Falleen Padawan (I made him 13 now, as when the Younglings age, giving them 10 years, he'll be 23, which is just about old enough to become a Knight as they're becoming Padawans), from the Falleen planet. Discovered to be force sensitive when only a few months old, was given to the Jedi to be trained. As a Falleen, he is considered highly attractive, as Falleen themselves are considered one of the most physically pleasing species on the eye in the galaxy. Like all Falleen, he is capable of altering his skin colour, and releasing pheromones. He is currently being trained to be a Jedi Guardian. 

Does that seem cool? But, yes I would say make the game free form. *nods* And yes lightclubs, wouldn't call them the bastard sword of lightsabers though, more like the masamune, although they're freaking huge, unless someone is apping a extremely tall character, its ridiculous that anyone would use one.

If someone really wants something interesting, a Force Pike is the way to go. *nods*

Inkidu

Yeah if you add the ten years for the younging to padawan then ten for padawan to knight that works.
Oh you misspelled grip in your force powers. Not fussing just letting you know.

So I did! Well its fixed now. Also, I think I read in one of the posts something about someone never hearing of a wookie Jedi?

The gentleman on the far right is Master Tyvokka.



And just for your amusement:
Beldorian the Hutt



That's Leia he's fighting by the way.
Oh and Vandren, there's alot outside the movies that is canon, plenty of books and comics that are 100% canon, as stated by Lucas himself. In fact, there's a "library" on everything that's starwars canon, so when a new writer has an idea, he has to contact the two women who run the library, and go over the details, to make sure everything matches up and can't interfere with any other canon established. Far more of the story has been told through comics and books. Just an FYI.  ;D

Inkidu

My bad I didn't think of this. Put a line at the top that says whether this will be a student or a teacher.

Teacher

Name: Ashina Maris
Age: 22
Rank: Knight
Favored forms: V dedicated.
Favored force powers: Mind trick, Stun humanoid, stun droid force wave.
Lightsaber: Reverse grip: single bladed lightsaber blue. Light casing for faster movement and a strong crystal to add to beam intensity, more solid for the many blows she blocks.

Ashina is a newly knighted Jedi at the time of the clans choosing. She's a miraluka so she's blind and a dedicated form V user, practicing great patience. She never makes a wasteful move so form V is the ideal for her. Picking out someone's mistakes the council looks onto her as the ideal Jedi teacher.

(Oh I will accept masters too but they'll be considerably older late forties to fifties.)
If you're searching the lines for a point, well you've probably missed it; there was never anything there in the first place.

Inkidu

Maybe a little younger. A master is just a jedi who has had a padawan become a knight before after all.
If you're searching the lines for a point, well you've probably missed it; there was never anything there in the first place.

Primarch

Well surely anyone who's a Youngling or Padawan has to be a student? So is it necessary for everyone?

Oh and allow me to fanboy for a moment, but Form V isn't actually suitable to be used in reverse grip, as that's general done with one hand. Form V requires two hands to allow for the physically forceful swings to wear down an opponents defence. Form IV on the other hand is perfect, as it relies more so on fast movements and jumping about to put yourself in a better position then your opponent. :D

That being said, its your character, and I'm sure for the purpose of the game we don't need to get bogged down on minor details.

There's a reason behind it.

Yes but his form wasn't form V, he was a master of all forms, drawing heavily on V, but also III and VII, not to mention his far from normally high connection to the force, allowing for beyond normal Force Valor styled combat. :D

Inkidu

Well her form is a little more elaborate. Her light case allows for faster motion in case of projectiles and a stronger beam so she can repulse the blade easier instead of saberlocking plus she's a miraluke higher sensitivity so she doesn't need both hands. Her form also employs two handed moments but that's only if she deems it necessarily. Lots of flipping and hand switching actually. Reverse grip is just the origin.

Student

Name:  Ssathua
Age: 4ish
Rank: Youngling
Favored forms: III, later VI
Favored force powers: Force Disarm, Mind Trick, Negate Energy
Lightsaber: Shoto style with blue blade

Ssathua is unusual, for a Trandoshan.  There's his gila-monster coloration, for one thing, and then there's his attitude: thoughtful, contemplative, and otherworldly.  Had a visiting Jedi not spotted his potential, he would probably not have survived to see his tenth birthday.  As it was, his clan was only too happy to be rid of this embarrassment.

There's a big difference between canon and keeping from retconing.  What's described above is the latter.  And, yes, I realize there are a ton of books and comics, and video games.  Personally, like a lot of purists, I don't consider them (with few exceptions) to be canon.  About the only ones I consider canon are the Timothy Zahn "Thrawn" novels.

Re: Form V and reverse grips . . . speaking as someone who's used a sword a lot, it's very possible to wear someone down with pretty strong reverse grip strikes.  You can get a lot of power with cuts that way.  Especially if you get fictional and add Force enhanced strength.  :)

Nope not turned off, just went to bed! ^^

And Vandren, while I'm struggling not to sound like an opinion nazi or something, which isn't how I intend to come across, but with Star Wars being the work of George Lucas, its his choice what's canon and what's not. It doesn't really matter what "purists" consider to be canon. The creator of Star Wars has said its canon. "Purists" have no more a voice in the matter then anyone else. A lot of the books and comics are canon. Its not a matter of opinion or personal choice. They're canon. 

Inkidu

Well guys cannon doesn't play a lot into this. So don't fret over it. I've just put it in a place. I'm even more pure than most, I don't really consider anything canon unless it's a movie or the Forced Unleashed which I remember being quoted as the only official canon video game. Still unimportant.

I'll consider Lucas's opinion again when he makes the last three movies. I'm so upset about that. Still remember that I picked a place that probably never touches anything remote to official canon and it took me the better part of a week so keep the fanboyism down, or is it fanboyance?

Form V isn't the wear them down form either, it's passive aggression force them to make a mistake. III is the pure defense form.

Sorry, Lucas doesn't get an opinion until he starts producing quality again.  :)  Not that I've ever seen Lucas state anything that he didn't personally write is canon (the closest I've seen him come is with the Zahn "Thrawn" trilogy), which I suppose includes the two recent TV animated series, even if the current one is pretty bad.  Of course, I quit closely following things a few years after high school.

But that, as Inkidu has noted, is neither here nor there. 

Honestly, the only times I've ever really cared about "canon" are 1) when I've run things [to keep out certain things, like the abomination that is R.A. Salvatore's lack of creativity] and 2) when really poor writers get involved [most of the SW writers, save Hambly, Zahn, Traviss, and Anderson, really].

Primarch

Being a fanboy or not aside, Lucas has a rating system for what is and is not canon. The category's being G-Canon, T-Canon, C-Canon, S-Canon and lastly N-Canon. Everything from G to C is official canon. Falling into that list is a large number of comics, books & video games (Like Force Unleashed, the KoToR games and more). S-Canon and N-Canon are things like What-if stories & Star Wars: Galaxies, mainly.

But as you say, canon won't be playing into this story. So moving swiftly on, since we have a few characters offered in, will we be seeing a bigging thread soon?

Inkidu

I could put up a Character Profile thread and an OOC thread right now. I think I've got enough interest that it is safe enough back shortly with links.

I was trying to nail down the rating. I'm thinking about making it NC-E just because that seems to act like a catch all for degrees of sexual content.

(I personally thought, along with my dad that Lucas would have tied the Star Wars Universe into Earth in some shape form or fashion, but alas I'll never know...)

What exactly are the available character roles?  I've lost track, since it started as "padawan only" and seems to have branched, returned, and ranched again since.  :)

Ignore the question, I finally spotted the post I missed.

But, I have a new question.

As far as time frame goes, somewhere between 4,250 BBY (the Third Great Schism) and 3,996 BBY (the Nadd Uprising), correct?

Looking for one or two more people to play teachers (and by the no-character limit rule) students.

We just need one more teacher to make it balanced. Of course, I will work around it if you also want to be a student.

Preferably female.
