    Star Wars: Rise of the Sith Sign Up/Discussion Thread

    [Links are clickable for more information]

    SETTING

     

    The story will take place within the Star Wars Universe as envisioned and created by George Lucas and company. This means that there are hundreds of alien races, planets, weapons, vehicles, etc...all of which is good and well for the development of a Role-Playing game. The time era in which it’ll be set is around that of the Old Republic (thousands of years before that movies’ plotline), meaning there are still many Sith roaming the galaxy.

     

     

    HOW DOES IT WORK? 

     

    For this RP you have to submit up to 3 character sheets, meaning that you can control up to 3 main characters. It doesn’t necessarily have to be 3, it can be 1 or 2. Not 4, not 1,000,000. 1, 2 or 3, that’s it. No famous/already existing characters are allowed. I will also give an example of how to fill a character’s profile. Yours doesn’t have to be exactly like this one, remember it’s just a guideline. Any additional info. you might like to add is always welcome:

     

    Name:

     

    Age:

     

    Gender (Male - Female - Something in between):

     

    Race: (You can choose from human to android to all the alien races of the Star Wars Universe):

     

    Affiliation:(Jedi, Galactic Republic, Mandalorians, Freelance...everything is available except for Sith, as it is important for the development of the story. You may shift sides as the story progresses)

     

    Physical Description (Can be written or/and a picture. You can also provide specific info., such as height and weight if you wish):

     

    Preferred Method of Combat:

     

     Background Story (just a preview of who your character is):

     

     

    RULES

     

    Now, the rules for an enjoyable RP are simple:

     

    0.- Read the “The Breakster Teaches how to RP (the right way)” thread. This is to ensure you know how to make posts for this RP and what is required from a player to make this a fun experience for everyone.

     

    1.- No using other people’s characters without their approval. This includes dialogues and actions. This rule will be overlooked ONLY if the player breaks rules #2 and/or #3.

     

    2.-Make a post at least once every 7 days. Unless you’re going to be abscent for a while (which you can PM me to inform) any character that doesn’t participate in the RP after the 7-day period will be killed off.

     

    NOTE: A person who’s character has been killed off can always come back into the RP with another character if she/he wishes. Characters dispatched by the effects of breaking a rule stay dead, no exceptions.

     

    3.- No god-modding, invincible, and/or almighty characters. These will be overlooked in the RP and their posts will be deleted.

     

    4.- You can device any sub-plot you wish as long as you stick to the main plot and don’t slow down the story.

     

    5.- No Kamehameha or Fira Level 3 Ultra Plus. Stick only to what’s within the Star Wars Universe (The Force, technology...).

     

    That’s it, those are all the rules.

     

    We’ll start as soon as 1-2 players have signed up.

     


    YA~HA!

Since then, he has stuck with Dash and assisted him however he can.

    Re: Star Wars: Rise of the Sith Sign Up/Discussion Thread

    Shaweet, Im thinking to create my three charichters to avoid temptation later on in the RP... >_> this first one should seem verry fermilier to Nero_the_one >:D lol!

    Name: Livia (Wee for Recycling names from various RP's I make... >_>)

     

    Age: Though her body's shape would be of a Matured human she is 77

     

    Gender Female

     

    Race: (Uh oh, Dont think I followed code when making her O.o, il have to check the Star wars super mega delux Ensiclibeedia to see if a Race comes close to hers!)

     

    Affiliation: Jedi

     

    Physical Description Livia is a bit on the tall side, some times dwarfing men at 6.3 her skin a fair pail and eyes a deep emrald color. her hair red and tipped black (she swears its natral). she wears a darker colored Jedi garb, not guite black (again wouldent want any oen thinking she was a sith here >_>). underneath the Jedi atire is a bit modified to hug closer to her body.

     

    Preferred Method of Combat: Although she carries Two lightsabres (she loved the Crimson color of one, but knew she could be mistaken for a sith) she resorts to one Purple light sabre, and her knoledge of the force. Even if she was taught of many difrant sabre styles, regaring duel wielding, double bladed, and single sabre stances and combat methods.

     

     Background Story An aspiring Padawan, Livia is a bit on the chaotic side, (and her master is quick to correct her on her ways!) Livia boasts a wide variety in th eways of the force, her favorit being persuasion... even if some times she can get away with out it using only looks alone, it is nice to have when dealing with the same gender as her. (and she NEVER uses the first way infront of her master XD). at times she often "breaks the rules" and comes up with a exscuse to make it seem like she was working within the code.

     

     

     

     

    Name: Zuado (Zoo-a-doh)

     

    Age: The tub of lard wont say!

    Preferred Method of Combat: He stays OUT of it, or tries any way, when resorting to violence, he has a small blaster that he must hold in both hands (even if it is just a hand gun ~_~) to fire.

     

     Background Story : Zuado, part of a small group of Scavaging Freelancers tends to "get lucky" on all of his missians. bringing back all sorts of hard to find goodies. infact, on one ocasion when he DID get into trouble, (an aposing freelancer attacked him). there was a man who dispached all of the other Freelancers crew, single handedly. To repay the man, who , lucky for Zuado needed a job, and food Zuado Employed him on his "Dumber" of a ship and they have not been seporated sence.

    Bio: As a child, Quickster was an orphan giving to a combat oriented community. Qucik had a master that teached him the way of the force. But couldn't use, he didn't have the will to use it. It seemed the force flowed threw him, it help his reflexs. It gave him keen eye sight, keen hearing and keen touch. It also gave him great flexibility. So his master teached him to do wrestsling moves, kicking and punching and how to throw people. After 10 years of training, he was set free from the master. The master last words were " Make me proud, young one." He never used a light saber, nor a blaster of any kind. He bought a space ship with one of his friends, Sharp-eye. A two man space-ship called " The right of Freedom ". Sadly, he lost one of his eyes to a Sith trooper shooting him. If it wasn't for Sharp-eye, Quick would of died. Ever since then he nhated the Sith. He is now looking, with his friend Sharp-Eye, to join the Sith Armada, to help againts the Sith invasion.

At 18 years old, he left his home, his mother was crying. She was being held by her husband. "You must come back, son!" Cried out the mother. " Dont worry, i'll be back alive. I promise.". Sharp was brought in the army with great attention. His strageties were just amazing. Sharp also discovered his great marksmen skills, shooting his ennemies from great distances. After 4 years of service to the army, he came back home, only to discover the house he once lived in was burned down. He saw a Sith ship flying away. He used his marksman skills to shoot down the ship. But it didn't help him for his emotions. ever since. He's searching each planet, trying to kill of the Sith's army one by one. He then met Quickster at a bar. They talked about a alliance that they should form to go against the Sith. At first, Quick said yes, and didn't take it seriously. When Quick got his eye shot out ( see above ), he took it seriously. Ever since that moment, both of them were hunting down the Sith. Sharp also got a permanent scar on his shoulder after being shot by an ennemy marksmen.

    @Gunslinger: Your bio is okay, except for a couple of things. Storm Troopers and the Galactic Empire won't exist for thousands of years to come, so instead, substitute Storm Trooper for Sith Trooper, and Galactic Empire for the Sith Armada. That would be all.

    Re: Star Wars: Rise of the Sith Sign Up/Discussion Thread

    Sweet, a Star Wars RP.

    I have a few questions before I set my characters though. 

    Does this take place in the KOTOR 1 or 2 timeframe?

    Is there a limit to what kind of lightsaber crystals we can use?

    If we pick Jedi (or Force Sensitive) what's the limit on Force Power and Lightsaber skill? (Example for Lightsaber: How skilled are we allowed to be in any of the 7 saber Forms/Styles? How many styles are we allowed to use?"

    How many Force powers are we allowed to use? And how strong are they allowed to be? (Ex: Lvl 1 - Shock Lvl 2 - Force Lightning Lvl 3 - Force Storm.)

    Is Force Resistance and/or Immunity allowed? (this provides protection against all Force powers).

     

    And that's all for now. Sorry if I seemed a bit geeky. I used to be really into Star Wars when I was 12. Actually, I still play KOTOR a bit from time to time.

    It takes place before KOTOR 1.

    As long as you don't use the god-modding and uber pawning crystals, it's fine by me whatever color you choose.

    If you pick a Jedi, his abilites would depend on whether you decide to make it a Padawan, a Knight, or a Master. As long as he's not all powerful, you can use any power except for those of the Dark Side. As for lightsaber styles, I trust you'll be discrete and know that not even Yoda or Palpatine mastered more than 2 or 3, the basic one included, ha ha.

    And since this is not the KOTOR game, treat this more like the movies, meaning that force resistance and immunity would depend on a race's special trait or a Jedi's level of control over the Force.

    Race: human

     

    Affiliation: Freelance

     

    Physical Description Darg has black short facial hair (he looks like he forgot to save), green eyes, and dresses primarily in earthy colors.

     

    Preferred Method of Combat: blaster cannon and thermal detonators

     

     Background Story : Darg followed his fathers footsteps right into the job of freelancer, keeping to his fathers policy of punishing the wicked and helping the suffering. In his many travels he befriended Reki Waurie, self proclaimed most skilled, attractive, and powerful freelancer in all the galaxy, and Caster, Darg’s pet Ysalimiri, which he keeps concealed in a hood on the back of his neck. he occasionally helps hunt down dark Jedi for the council. Darg is mild-mannered and polite to almost everyone…but his closest friends.

    Re: Star Wars: Rise of the Sith Sign Up/Discussion Thread

    Sorry 'bout the late entry. Something screwed up my connection for a bit. And yeah, this is gonna be a bit long, so brace yourselves and buckle up! lol jk

    Name: Garen Balfour

    Age: 35

    Gender: Male

    Race: Echani (Near-Human)

    Affiliation: Jedi Order

    Physical Description: 6"1' . Short Silver hair and matching silver eyes with slight fatigue shadows. Well built muscle structure. Wears sage green Echani styled, semi-armored tunic and pants with gray trimmings. Also wears sturdy, yet flexible black environment boots. Over his outfit, he wears a flexible long brown coat (as personal preference over traditional Jedi robes).

    Preferred Method of Combat: Geran normally uses a cyan-colored lightsaber customized with two refined Bondar crystals. He always sets the saber to low frequency in order to avoid needless killing, and this perfectly suits the Bondar crystals that cause the lightsaber blade to "pulse" strongly on impact, turning the cyan saber into an effective stun club. When killing is absolutely necessary, Geran will use his white-colored saber that is outfitted with an Opila crystal and Upari crystal which creates a clear, strong blade that is remarkably quick. Because of his natural Echani reflexes and prior experience in Echani melee, Geran learned lightsaber combat faster than nearly all his peers. Though he's had basic training in all Lightsaber Forms, Geran specializes in Form III Soresu and Form V Djem-So due to the close connection between the two styles. He usually uses the defensive Soresu style in harmony with his reflexes and the Force to study and wear down his opponents. When an opportunity presents itself, Geran immediately switches to the powerful Djem-So style, applying the tactic of turning the opponent's own attacks to his advantage with strong counteroffensives fueled by pure power, from striking in unison with the Force. Even with these skills, Geran prefers peace through communion with the Force. After countless hours of study and meditation, Geran had built a remarkably strong connection with the Force. He usually tries to coax any possible hostile out of fighting him. But when violence is truly necessary, he gets his message across the Echani way, through beating his enemy into submission.

    Background Story: Geran was recruited at a young age from an Echani community on Corellia. Upon discovery of the Force, Geran found himself completely infatuated, even bordering on obsession. Nearly every waking hour of his time as an apprentice was devoted to studying and training in the Force. Whenever he wasn't studying, he "actively" meditated in lightsaber and melee training. In applying the ancient Echani principles, Geran "communicated" directly with the Force through his body movements. In time, he was able to 'feel' the Force flowing around him and strengthened his connection to it by studying its ebbs and flows, much like an Echani would study a person's feelings and emotion through their body movements. Each day brought him closer and closer to his goal: Unity with the Force. It is probably this strong connection that brought him to believe in the Unifying Force: an acknowledgment that there was no Light or Dark, only paths to becoming One with the Force. By this time, he had already become a prominent Jedi Knight and his beliefs started to cause some concern with the Order. He immersed himself even more in his efforts to study the Force. Sometimes meditating, both actively and passively, for weeks on end. Once, he even secluded himself in a mountain cavern to focus solely on the Force. No doubt, this honed his skills to that of a Master Rank, but his prodigious studies and training kept him from taking on a padawan of his own. Because he took on no apprentice and rarely went on missions, he never ascended to the esteemed rank of Jedi Master. The Council's concern grew until one day, they took an unusual action: directly ordering Geran to take up an apprentice or face exile. They reasoned that “one must know thyself because there was a line between becoming One with the Force, and losing oneself to the Force.” Since Geran focused on nothing other than the Force, the Council feared that he would one day, 'lose' his sense of self and cease to exist. And since apprentices were highly impressionable, the Council hoped that Geran would learn more about himself through taking on a pupil.

    Name: Zak Ferren

    Age: 15

    Gender: Male

    Race: Human

    Affiliation: Jedi Order

    Physical Description: 5"6'. Short black hair with a single braid on the left side to signify rank. Hazel eyes. Slim, but developing muscle build. Wears traditional Jedi attire (tan tunic and pants, utility belt, brown boots, long robe).

    Preferred Method of Combat: He uses a standard blue lightsaber but also holds onto his old orange training saber. Zak usually fights with the simple, yet effective Form I Shii-Cho of lightsaber combat, the style that all apprentices learn before becoming Padawans. But he also has competent skill in the defensive Soresu style due to the many (painful) sparring sessions with his new mentor. It is also because of this that he started learning Form VII Juyo, a highly offensive-oriented style that incorporates fast, free-wheeling, yet completely controlled movements that aim to overwhelm the opponent in a storm of unpredictable attacks. From time to time, he practices Form VI Jar'Kai to try and learn how to fight with two blades, and also to help in his study of Form VII Juyo, but he has trouble keeping focus in two places at once. Like all other Jedi and Padawans, he utilizes both the Force and his own physical prowess in battle.

    Background Story: Zak came from Coruscant like many other Padawans. Whenever it came to lightsaber training, Zak was always among the best in his age group. In sparring, he always had the best 'instinct,' and excelled at exploiting opportunities like openings in his opponents' defense. But this 'instinct' was actually him unconsciously using the Force to predict movements. In fact, this 'instinct' was precisely why he struggled at "formally" learning and using the Force. For some reason, he always had little to no success in consciously using the Force. He couldn't "call" on it like the others. He was only able to "move with it." This challenge persisted no matter how many times he tried. Repeated failures led Zak to think he wasn't cut out to be a Jedi. But the Force always works in mysterious ways. On the day of his 13th birthday, he was sulking in the main courtyard when he suddenly heard "You there. How would you like to become my apprentice?" And just like that, his somewhat easygoing life as a youngling was over. What followed were two years of the harshest, most gruelling training he had ever gone through under the watchful eyes of Jedi Knight Garen Balfour, a Jedi only known for his obsession with the Force. Everyday, Zak wondered why such a Jedi would pick a Force-impaired kid like him. And even after two years, Zak still knew little to nothing about his master due to Garen's distant, somewhat detached nature. The only reason they worked well together was because of Garen's ability to read a person through movement and the Force.
