Sith Empire (OOC and Signups, OPEN)

Sith Empire

SITH EMPIRE

Our story will take place approximately 4,500 BBY, just after the death of Naga Sadow, and we are completely omitting Freedon Nadd. A war with the Republic has just been started by Naga Sadow. Unfortunately he died in battle, and there is now a void in the Sith leadership. The main groups of conflict in the story will be The Sith Empire, The Jedi Order (technically, the Sith Empire is at war with the Republic, but as most of the fighting will take place between Sith, Neutrals and Jedi, we will omit any largescale battles, and focus more on the Force-user on Force-User action).

The Sith Empire

The Sith Empire consists of over 120 inhabited worlds, mostly slave planets, but those won't come into the story much. The Empire is ruled by a Sith Council, comprised of ten Sith Lords. The members of the Sith Council, as opposed to the Jedi Council, take a very active role in Sith Affairs, often going on more important missions themselves. The Sith Empire is in the process of acquiring several Force based weapons and machines for the war against the Jedi. These include the lightsabers of various powerful, living and dead, Sith Lords and Jedi. Also on the list are several machines used for Sith Alchemy and Sorcery, including one that manufactures artificial lightsaber crystals personalized to the user.

The Jedi Order

The Jedi Order and it's structure are familiar to most, so I won't bore anyone. The Jedi Order is also immersed in finding said artifacts.

The Order of The Ah Zhirr

The Order of the Ah Zhirr was formed by Anto Varyse upon leaving the Sith. It is comprised entirely of former Jedi and Sith, Anto thinking it too much trouble to take recruits unless they were already trained in the Force. The teachings of the Ah Zhirr revolve around Force cloaking and stealthy infiltration. The Order of the Ah Zhirr is one of many groups of neutral force users, but it is the largest, and has the most formidable reputation. It is comprised of around a dozen teams who accept payment for their services as mercenaries, mostly infiltration missions. Anto has hand picked the best, and formed his elite team of a dozen of his students. this elite team is perhaps the most feared and respected mercenarial team in the Galaxy. The Order offers its services to anyone who can afford the fee, including the Sith Empire, or various other wealthy clients. The Jedi Order very rarely makes use of them, but it has happenned. The dozen teams of the Order simply go on missions assigned by clients, but Anto often uses his own elite team for his own purposes.

The Republic
The Republic is in a Golden Age. With the proliferation of the Jedi Order, peace has spread throughout the galaxy. The only current threat to peace is the newly discovered Sith Empire, a completely unexpected development. While the Republic is effective, it is steeped in bureaucracy, often taking weeks to get anything done. The Republic Forces (not clones, as Kamino has not started doing that yet,) are engaging the Sith on many of the border worlds, and losing. If there is any hope of saving the Republic, it must be the Jedi.

I feel that some special rules are needed for this particular RPG:

1: While perhaps possible among the pantheon of Star Wars races, no immortal characters, unless you plan on not engaging in battle.

2: No Force powers that automatically kill/maim.

3: Keep in mind that during battle, only the character's owner can decide if a power hits them, or affects them in any way. I would hope that all players would try to make them interesting, however, and not one-sided.

Ideas are encouraged.

My Character:


Name: Anto Varyse

Age: 548 standard years

Race: Anzati
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Anzati

Home Planet: Unidentified, found on Nar Shadaa

Affiliation: Neutral, Order of the Ah Zhirr, formerly Sith, Jal Shey, and Zeison Sha

Sex:Male


Appearance:
-Hair: None, he keeps his head shaved. Naturally dark black.
-Eyes: Black
-Weight: 120 lbs
-Height: 6’4
Tall even for an Anzat, Anto stands at 6' 4. The Anzati are a near human race, with paler skin and darker hair. The most major difference is the two prehensile tendrils hidden in the cheeks, which may be extended to drain the luck of victims. (The wiki article says that this has to happen throuh the nose, but I'm gonna change that to just having to pierce the skin for practicality, but only if no one minds, as it is a minor deviation from canon.) The left side of his face is covered in horrific burn scars, as well as most of his torso.
Equipment:

-Ship: Anto owns a Rendili Stardrive Light Corvette, the Mantabog’s Victim, which has been heavily modified to suit his needs. The captain’s quarters have been expanded quite heavily, and made quite more luxurious, to be Anto’s quarters. A solitary and soundproof meditation chamber was also added. As Anto is nearly constantly traveling, the captain’s quarters onboard the Mantabog’s Victim his primary residence.
The crew quarters have also been modified to resemble a dormitory for Anto’s students, who also form the crew.

-Weapons: Dual Lightsabers. Anto wields two matching indigo-bladed lightsabers, that he spent the greater part of the last century constructing. They have a slight curve in the hilt, for enhanced dexterity in their use.
Both are dual-phase, at a default length of 1.4 meters, extending to a maximum length of 1.7, and a minimum of 1.0. They have special attachments on the end of each hilt, so that the individual sabers can be twisted together to form a deadly double-bladed lightsaber.
The beams of his lightsabers are augmented by special crystals in the hilts, causing them to be especially powerful, cutting through most metals like cardboard.

In addition, Anto carries a Zeison Sha Discblade, which he wields with deadly accuracy due to his Zeison Sha training. His Disc is imbued with the Force for easily handling, and a cortosis weave to resist lightsabers.

Anto also carries twin model 22T4 Holdout Blasters, for situations in which lightsabers become inefficient. While coming nowhere near the mastery he has with lightsabers, he is fairly proficient with blasters.


-Armor: Anto wears traditional Sith robes in a deep purple hue. Underneath these, Anto wears a variant of Jal Shey Advisor armor, a remnant of his time spent with them. He modified the armor with Mabari Armorweave, increasing its integral strength while keeping its high level of flexibility.

-Miscellaneous: Anto, out of necessity, wears a neural band reverse engineered to block Anto’s passive telepathy. With its field activated, the only thoughts Anto will receive are those he consciously accesses.

Strengths:
-Exceptional Force Telepathy: Most sentient beings are nowhere near powerful enough to resist his abilities, even among Force-users he is exceptionally powerful. His inherent Anzati telepathic capabilities, which are magnified exponentially by his advanced age, were again multiplied exponentially by his Force training.
-Anzati strength and agility: Anzati have hollow bones, which decreases Anto’s weight, and make him far more agile than humans of comparable size. Anzati also have strength beyond the levels of normal humans. Anto is on par with Olympic-level athletes physically.
-Healing factor: Anzati naturally heal much faster than humans, healing broken bones in days, and while it is quite possible to mortally wound an Anzat, it is substantially more difficult than a human.
-Lack of bloodflow: Being wounded is significantly less damaging for Anto because, as an Anzat, he has no blood. Anto speculates that his cells are oxygenated transdermally. He is not weakened by blood-loss in other words. He is still vulnerable to damage to his organs, however.

Weakness:
-Pyrophobia: Due to an accident early in his Sith training involving flame manipulation, Anto has an irrational fear of fire. This affects him cripplingly, he will run from flames, and if forced to be in near proximity to them, he will not be able to concentrate, and will most definitely be bested in combat.
-Hollow bones: Anto’s hollow bones are very prone to fractures, and breaks are common. Anto has at least one broken bone at any one time. Anto uses the Force to compensate for particularly crippling breaks like legs, and is used to fighting with at least one break.
-Delicate neural pathways: Another inherent quality of Anzati is the delicate nature of their nervous system. This makes Anto’s five primary senses especially sensitive, as well as making him especially sensitive to force lightning, which fries his nerves quite quickly.
-Mental overload: Anto’s telepathy is so powerful that if unchecked, the amount of information he passively recieves can be damaging. In part due to his delicate nervous system, Anto could theoretically sustain permanent brain-damage should he be exposed to prolonged periods of unfiltered mass thoughts.
-Neural Band limitations: Though Anto’s telepathy is unparallelled, its passive aspect is almost always inaccessable due to his neural band, while this protects him, he can be sneaked up on, where a less powerful telepath who didn’t limit their ability couldn’t be.
-Ectothermism: Without a functioning circulatory system, Anzati are effectively cold-blooded. This renders Anto at a distinct disadvantage in cold environments, slowing him down physically and mentally. Anto counteracts this through the use of Tapas (see below).

Lightsaber combat:
Anto has extensive training in all of the classical lightsaber forms, as well as most variants of lightsabers. Over the past three centuries, Anto has focused on the mastery of combat with two standard sabers, and has concreted a style he calls Anzati Jar’kai. Anzati Jar’kai is a synthesis of Ataru, Juyo and Shien (the method of holding the lightsaber with the blade running parallel to the arm, not Form V) as well as including some aspects of projected fighting, and has proven effective with dual sabers, one saber, and double-bladed variants (with minor modifications). It focuses on fast, unconnected strikes, designed to surprise and disorient the opponent. Anzati Jar’kai is very effective at wearing down opponents with its vicious and lightning fast movements.

Force Powers:
Anto is proficient in all core Force abilities, including higher level ones. Anto is unable to use any form of Force Lightning, as he is unable to channel it through his body without doing major damage to his system.
Some rarer abilities he specializes in:
-Force Telepathy: Anto’s most skilled ability. Most of his other proficiencies are subsets of this one.
-Mind Trick: As a subset of telepathy, Anto is remarkably proficient in it, and all of its variants. This includes rendering himself invisible by clouding the minds of others, and masking his Force signature.
-Force Comprehension: An ability which allows the user to absorb vast amounts of information in a short time by speeding up one’s neural processes.
-Projected Fighting: Allows the user to use telekinesis to fight, either without physically touching or by augmenting the strength of one’s strikes. Anto augments his personal variant of Jar’kai with this technique.
-Tapas: Allows its user to draw on the power of the Force to remain warm in a cold environment.
-Force Meld: a form of Battle Meditiation, this technique allows the user to mentally connect with other Force users, forming a single consciousness. Anto uses this technique with his students during missions to increase coordination, as well as during training to teach them advanced techniques much faster. Anto’s masterful telepathy aids his use of this technique.
-Comprehend Speech: Allows the user to understand the meaning of any form of sentient speech. Used in conjunction with Force Comprehension, this technique allows the user to learn a language remarkably quickly, becoming fluent in days.

Personality: Anto's upbringing was cruel and painful, and left him a cold, distant person. The impulsive nature of his youth has gone, and he is now a very calculating tactician, always a step or two ahead. To Anto, other people are objects, means to an end, and nothing more. Anto is quite adept at seeming however he needs to seem in order to get what he wants, though he prefers mental manipulation to any other recourse.

Bio: Anto was once a Sith, found as a child by a Sith Master living on the streets of, who recognized his potential, and knew of the reputation of the Anzati as legendary assassins. Trained by his master at the Sith Academy on Korriban, Anto discovered that his natural telepathic abillities could be amplified through the force, and became adept at the art of persuasion. One day, after his training was complete, and he was a Sith Lord, he and his master clashed over his master methods. He killed his master and left Korriban with many followers, forming the order of the Ah Zhirr.



Hope there's interest...

Do the neutrals really have to be mercs. I was hoping for a faction of true Gray Jedi who just want to use their powers to end this Force User Civil War.

I have to agree with Derek. I might be interested in joining as a sort of a Gray Jedi myself, but my character would be significantly more self-serving than joining any part of a group anyway.

I am curious though, because my character is also a part of a race that is distinctly non-canon, and seeing as how this is taking place in the past during the Jedi Civil War, I'm not exactly sure if it would be a good thing to include them. Then again, I could always have him be a standard human instead...

I've actually been really wanting to do a Star Wars RP lately, and was thinking of creating my own. If this takes off, I won't have to .

I'm making two characters, a Jedi Master, and his apprentice.

Name: Translates into Basic as "Strong Claw", called Master Claw by most.
Age: 45 (Which would be middle aged to elderly for a Sauvax, but his force sensitive nature has allowed him to retain a more youthful body, extending his life span, as some force sensitive individuals are capable of)
Race: Sauvax
Home Planet: Leritor

Appearance: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/starw ... Sauvax.jpg
Height: Tall for a Sauvax, standing at 5'9".
Clothing: He wears a traditional, deep brown, hooded Jedi Robe. With the hood up, you cannot tell what race he is. In combat he often discards it.

Force
Affiliation: Jedi
Force Specialties: Claw has a natural aptitude towards telekinesis (Force Push, Pull, etc...) which he has mastered to a great degree, and used to develope several of his own more advanced telekinetic techniques. He also uses his mastery at telekinesis to weild his light sabers.
-Force Pincer: Claw uses tactile telekinesis, literally physical Force, to put so much pressure on a target, from both sides, like his claw closing around something, that it shatters, effectively allowing him to cut through virtually anything with a snap of his claw. He must be able to utilize the force on both sides of something for this to be viable however, so he cannot slice through a door with it, or anything that he cannot use his force on the other side of. It can be evaded by other force sensitive individuals, as they will feel the growing strength of Force on either side of them, warning them that it is coming, and move, before Claw can hit them with it.
-Force Swim: Using his dual fins, Claw creates a localized shockwave of Force, propelling him through the air. By using force pushes to adjust his course, he can use this to effetively swim through the air at rapid speeds. This is useful, as he appears deceptively slow already, and by heightening his speed even more with this technique, he can take opponents by surprise.
Lightsaber style: Claw wields two massive lightclubs, or great sabers, almost entirely with the force. The reasons he uses such massive weapons are, a.) His claws can't grip a smaller hilt very well, and if he held it in his hidden hands, he runs the risk of cutting his claws off, and b.) as he primarily uses the force to weild them, he can still effectively weild them despite their size. He has studied the basics of all 7 forms, and become skilled in Shii-Cho, Soresu, and Ataru. He fights primarily, however, with his own form, which he calls, Sauvaxgarr, and is performed entirely by using telekinesis to control the weilder's lightsabers. It focuses on using the Force to "see", or more accurately, sense, in 360 degrees, and thus be prepareed for an attack from any angle, utilizing the greater degree of versatility that comes with weilding the lightsaber mentally, as opposed to physically, to create a unique and unpredictable form. It is characterized by long distance stabs (similar to saber throws) and whirling blades, creating a saw blade appearance, and granting great defensive and offensive capabilities.
Lightsaber color: Turquoise

Background: Claw was found by a Jedi Master who had been stranded on Leritor when his ship broke down. Upon landing, he felt an incredibly strong force presence, suprising, as most Sauvax are not force sensitive. He sought out this being, and found a young Claw, who helped him to repair his ship, already proficient with basic telekinesis, though he didn't understand it. Claw chose to accompany the Jedi, and join the order, rising swiftly from Padawan to Knight, and on to Master.

Personality: Claw is kind and compassionate, though this is hidden to many by his frightening appearance. He believes in talking out problems, as opposed to dealing with them through violence, and his mere presence has been known to calm down disputes. Despite his kindness, Claw is a grueling master, forcing his student to strive to be his best. He is tough, but always fair, and always kind to his pupil, causing him to want to follow his master's orders, simply to make him proud.

Weaknesses: While incredibly adapt in physical uses of the force, Claw has only the basic proficency required of a master in other fields, such as telepathy, mind control, and force healing. He also is none to nimble, due to his race.







Name: Kilovel
Age: 19
Race: Nelvaanian
Home Planet:

Appearance: Kilovel is 6 feet tall, large for many races, but not even fully grown for his own, who grow to be 6'5" on average. He has the typical appearance of a Nelvaanian ( http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/starw ... _TCWCG.jpg ), including the tribal tattoos. His shoulders are broad, and he has a lean, and sinewy strength to him, like a swimmer or a swordsman. He wears rust red pants, and a light brown Jedi robe, over his bare chest, left so to display his tribal tatoos.

Force
Affiliation: Jedi
Force Specialties: As he is but a Padawan, he is still learning all the different uses of the Force. He is naturally skilled, and has a great degree of connection to the Force, as well as being natural strong in the Force himself. For the most part, he utilizes simple techniques, such as Force Push, and Force Jump. He does, however, have a few inherent, and unique/rare Force abilities.
-Precognition: As many Force Users have before, Kilovel possesses the ability to see glimpses of the future. However, unlike the majority of Jedi who can do so by Flow Walking, or at least do so on purpose, Kilovel's visions of the future are sporadic at best, and he never knows how far inthe future they are, making them relatively useless to him. However, this ability does have use in combat, as Kilovel catches brief glimpses of only a few seconds ahead, all in his mind, not obscuring his vision, and thus allowing him to know what his opponent is going to do next, which in turn allows him to do something they do not expect. This unique ability makes him an expert lightsaber duelist, and a dangerous opponent in one on one combat.
-Shatterpoint: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shatterpoint
-Beast Taming: Kilovel has a natural aptitude with animals, being able to tame and befriend them, at which point they will generally do what he asks of them. However, unlike with Beast Control, Kilovel does not have the ability to force an animal to do his bidding, only to befriend it.
Lightsaber style: Kilovel is still training in the seven forms, though he is quite partial to Ataru, and very adept in it. His master, Claw, also forces him to spend extra time training in Soresu, believing it is important to any skilled lightsaber user, as it will "keep you alive when elsewise, you would fall", and Shii-Cho, which he believes to be the most important form, as it is not only the founding form, and base of all forms, but one that requires you to learn both control and releasal of your emotions, allowing them to drive you to greater heights, but not letting them rule you. His lightsaber has an unnaturally long hilt, similar to that of a hand and a half sword, which is black, and unadorned.
Lightsaber color: Golden

Background: Kilovel was kidnapped from his homeworld as a child (8), by slave traders, mere hours after completing his manhood quest. He spent the next 3 years as a slave, on Tattooine, living a life of hard labor, and brief enjoyment during his few free hours, when he would sometimes sneak off to watch the pod races. His rebellious nature, and numerous escape attempts led to him being disciplined frequently, an example to the rest, and left him with numerous scars along his back. When he was 11, he was rescued by a Jedi who sensed his presence, and was shocked to find that Kilovel knew his name, as he had seen this day in a vision over 2 years ago, when he thought he could go on no longer, and was contemplating suicide, or, as that was cowardice, attacking his captors and attempting to escape yet again, which would inevitably result in his death. Kilovel then spent a year training with the younglings to catch up, and then became Master Claw's Apprentice.

Personality: Kilovel has been hardened by a rough life. He is mostly taciturn, speaking only when necessary, and having a dark view of things. Despite the hardships he has been through, Kilovel reamains kind and compassionate towards those he finds deserving, but he has become cold and ruthless towards those he does not, a fact that the Jedi Council finds disturbing, an worry may lead Kilovel to the Dark Side, if he cannot learn to let go of his anger.

Weaknesses: Kilovel is only a Padawan, so his skills are still rudimentary. Also, he is far to emotional, and allows himself to be ruled by these emotions to a dangerous degree, which causes worry among the Jedi, who fear he may be on the path to the dark side if he cannot alter his course.

Oh yes, Grey Jedi are absolutely acceptable. You don't have to be a part of Anto's group to fit that description. I encourage creativity.

And Gabriel, I like your characters. I LOOOOOOVE obscure species. But about Shatterpoint...

Only four people in history are known to have been able to use that ability, three of them being Skywalkers, and the other being Mace Windu.

I don't think a padawan would even be aware of its existence, much less a padawan who has only been in training for two years...

Other than that, great characters though.

I'll join. I got a pretty fleshed out Twi'lek sith I made a long time ago. I just hope that things stay realistic. (In universe, of course)
By the way, does anyone have a list of items, weapons, space shuttles and technologies available in the Sidereal period? And which Force Powers were discovered?

Name: Try Mon’tan

Title: Dark Lord of the Sith (Self proclaimed, as the other Sith did after the fall of Naga Sadow...)

Age: 29 basic years, or 35 Ryloth years.

Race: Twi’lek

Sex:Male

Hair:No body hair, except for eyelashes

Eyes:Crimson red

Weight:89 kg / 196 lbs

Height:1,8 m / 5,9 ft

Weapons:Dual Lightsabers.
He built the red saber first as a sign of his apprenticeship with the Sith Lord Ra'na Starwraith. By then it was only a simple lightsaber with a simple red crystal. As he rose through the ranks from apprentice to Sith Lord he progressively enhanced the lightsaber as he saw fit. The standard red crystal was replaced with a force forged crystal and augmented with a rare Qixoni crystal to both enhance his force powers and the blade's power. He also added a Rubat crystal, and included a Dual Phase mechanism to change the length of the blade from it's standard 1.3 meters to 1.8 meters. It could also be shortened to 0.8 meters. With the Rubat crystal as the focus crystal, the Dual Phase mechanism allowed him to alter the power of the blade, from the deadly cutting beam of plasma, to a harmless light beam. This mechanism is controlled by two knobs on the hilt.

The blue saber was built after he mastered Makashi and started with Jar'Kai. It is a shoto, a short lightsaber with a fixed blade length of 0.8 meters. The focusing crystal are a Sapith crystal which creates a intense blade which was much easier to control than a normal blade. It has, unlike the red saber, an internal dead-man's switch toggled by the force which turns it off two seconds after being dropped. This makes the lightsaber impossible to wield for a non force user, and even a force user has to figure out how to trigger the switch.

Equipment:

Strengths:Try is a very skilled duelist mastering both Form II Makashi and Jar’Kai, which fits with his aggressive attitude. And although his lightsabers are his main route of attack, he is strong in the force, strong enough to stand against another Sith.

Weakness:Try does not have armor, and is therefore quite vulnerable to attacks against his body. When attacking, he also uses a lot of force to power his attacks, and even though he doesn't actively use force powers he becomes drained after prolonged fighting. He got a very aggressive fighting style which limits his defense abilities. And as with most Sith, his overconfidence is his downfall.

Lightsaber combat:
Try got general knowledge of Form I, is very skilled in Form II and a master of Jar’Kai.

Form I is the first, simplest and easiest form of lightsaber combat. It focuses on disarming the opponent instead of killing, and is most effective against several enemies. It can also be used to block projectiles and general attacks.

Form II, Makashi, is the dueling form, and is the most elegant of the seven forms. It is based on fighting an opponent with a melee sword, and is not effective against blasters and projectile attacks. It focuses on parries, thrusts and small, precise cuts, as opposed to the blocking and slashing of the other forms. It is an elegant form, in which the combatants almost appear to be dancing when fighting each other. A small weakness is that Makashi is best when fighting a single opponent, and not that efficient while fighting multiple opponents. But the greatest flaw in the form is that it's not capable of withstanding more powerful strikes such as those of form V, as its single handed. On the other side is he able to deliver powerful blows due to his way of fighting with the force powering his every move.

Jar’Kai is the art of fighting with dual lightsabers. It is an aggressive and confusing form where the opponent is unsure which direction to shift to either to block or attack. A weakness to this form is that the use of two blades prevents the user of putting all his weight behind a defensive block, thus weakening the defense considerably. Try can use telekinesis to make the blades swirl around him creating a form of saber barrier.

Saber Throw is an offensive use of the lightsaber where Try throws the lightsaber in a boomerang fashion with Force Throw, with it cutting its way through obstacles, and recalling it by using Force Pull.
Try uses a multitude of these lightsaber arts, often changing between Makashi and Jar'Kai every now and then to confuse the opponent.

Force Powers:
All the natural force powers as Speed, Jump, Telekinesis, Pull and Push, and Precognition. He also know Throw, Mind Trick, Lightning and Choke.

Appearance:As a Twi’lek, he has two “lekku”, also known as brain-tails. This, along with his dark blue skin color, red eyes and black tattoo are his most distinctive marks. He is usually wearing a dark brown vest made of bantha leather with many pouches where he carries his equipment. The medpack is carried back on his waist, under the vest. Under his vest, he got a black, rough shirt. His pants are also made of bantha leather, but made from more durable and heavy parts of the hide. The boots are made of softened rancor leather, which give them a dark brown color, giving him a general brown appearance… His face is not beautiful as the female Twi’lek, but not completely ugly either, as is natural for a male Twi’lek. His face is covered in a black tattoo, resembling the symbol of the Sith.
His twin lekku are about 1 meter each, and are not kept around his neck as most Twi’leks do, but instead kept just hanging down for the sake of convenience, with leather straps protecting them from direct damage. He speaks galactic basic, Ryl, the native language of the Twi’lek and Ryl, a body language which were solely done with movements of the lekku.

Personality:He is very aggressive and has a constant crave for power and strength. He likes to dominate the battlefield and his surroundings to prove he is mighty and will never let a chance to either make himself more powerful or to make him appear more powerful pass. Try also believes he is better and more worth than other humans, and won’t hesitate to sacrifice another person.

Bio:Needs to be redone to fit in the past.

Much here needs to be redone, and I've already removed a lot from what he was at Luke's Accademy. But since this is merely an interest check...

edit: Redid much of the character.

I like Try quite a bit.

I also like the profile format you used. I might reorganize mine that way.

Hopefully we get more interest, and we can start soon.

And I'll do some research on the tech, but I don't think there's really any way to know what Force powers were available...

We can rule some out based on the fact that only a few people had ever done them, but other than that, I think all are fair game.

There are some which only a few have used, or some which were only discovered later on. In fact, this happened some time before Exar Kun and the Old Sith Wars, in which a few powers were 'discovered'. However, it's probably not that important. Ship lists on the other hand.. Anyway, as long as you are careful to not approve potential god modding characters, it could be a nice RP.
Also, your avatar makes me excited!

Yeah, I'm not too worried about being too canon with powers (except for VERY powerful ones...), but ships I am looking into.

I'm currently in the process of making Anto slightly less Stuish, but I would like to start soon.

I have high hopes for this.

And Gabriel, upon reading Kilovel's profile again, I think he needs to be toned down a bit in general... He wouldn't be an expert in lightsaber combat after only having two years of training with it. In fact, he'd probably barely be able to lift a fork with the Force at this point.

As we know from the films, the Jedi Council almost NEVER takes children as old as Anakin was, much less, fifteen year olds. Perhaps you should revise his history a bit.

I really like Claw, though.

Just a question.. What is our entry hook?

Ummm... How about Anto's team is in the process of spelunking an ancient Sith tomb for an artifact for the Sith Council, because they're paying him, and the Jedi bust in?

Could work, but where do the Sith fit in? Also, where would this take place? On a known planet or on a distant planet of the Sith Empire?
Of course, I could join by trying to steal the artifact for myself, as the Sith is divided after the death of Naga Sadow, and the more artifacts a Lord have, the more likely it would be for him to succeed as the next 'official' Dark Lord of the Sith. How about you outline the main story and start the OoC thread?

Name: Yusanis Rathino
Age: 48
Race: Echani
home planet:Eshan

Appearance: Yusanis stands 6 feet 3 inches with a lean yet muscular build. Due to his Echani blood his skin is light while his hair is white and his eyes are silver. In accordance with Echani traditions he eschews the use of heavy amour to favor light clothing although he does not favor robes. Instead choosing loose flowing pants and a form fitting sleeveless shirt both of which are black with red highlights. Although to an outsider most Echani look alike a careful observer would notice that Yusanis facial features bear a lighter definition then is common among his race.

Force
Affiliation: Neutral
Force Specialties: Having walked down both paths Yusanis is skilled in the Force abilities of both Sith and Jedi. Although he tends to favor combat related abilities.

Force Speed: Yusanis skill with force Speed is astounding. Being able to use it to great effect his already impressive physical speed is enhanced to the point where non force sensitives eyes can't track him. Even most Force Sensitives have trouble tracking his motions when he fully taps into this force ability. He favors it heavily due to his Race's preference for agility and speed in combat.

Force Telekinesis: The ability to control the motion of objects and people is a staple of all force users and Yusanis is no exception. Mastering it he has developed several variations on it. Such as being able to even control the flow of blood with in an organic or cause a droids CPU to overload my controlling it's power flow systems. Although he does often put his Force Telekinesis to the test as few of the foes he has faced have forced his hand to this degree.

Force Healing: Although Yusanis does not possess the legendary skill Jedi Healers have in this He is more then capable of sealing wounds and even curing minor sickness. Although for some reason using this ability drains him quite severely.

Force Valor: Yusanis can use the force to physically augment himself, increasing his strength and striking power, and his force power. Although after the effect has worn off a severe exhaustion follows. It is his greatest power but He will only use it as a last resort for it's effect lasts but a few minutes and the exhaustion has almost killed him a few times as his heart struggles to keep beating after the rush.

Force Jump: It's staple of all Force Users and Yusanis. By gathering Force Energy in his legs the Echani force wielder is able to jump great distances and heights. It has proved it self useful as a jump followed by a quick attack greatly increases the kinetic force transferred into each hit.

Precognition: Due to both his Echani heritage and his Force Training Yusanis is able to read the flow of battle and events yet to happen. It is especially apparent in battle where enemies attacking him realize Yusanis knows their attacks before they even think about it themselves. It allows him to plan several steps ahead of most of his enemies. Although he knows he isn't the only with this skill and some have greater command over it.

Force Choke: A Sith Variant of Force Telekinesis it is more useful against non force sensitives and weaker force users then it is in combat against skilled Force Users. Although Yusanis finds it useful when squeezing intel out of people disinclined to talk.

Force Lighting: The infamous Sith power it allows Yusanis to channel pure energy through his hands to use as a devastating offensive weapon. It is extrinsically useful when using a single lightsaber one handed for it allows him to attack with the lightsabers blade and shoot lighting off at the same time. This lethal combo has proven itself invaluable on the battlefield.

Force Crush: Yet another infamous Force Power it suspend a target in mid air to allow the body to be literally crushed from the outside in. It is messy and inherently Sith but it's effectiveness is undeniable.

Dominate Mind: Perhaps the most well known Force power it's usefulness is limited as many species have a natural resilience to it.
Lightsaber style: Yusanis carries several lightsabers with him. Each one designed to be effective in different situations.
A double Bladed Lightsaber- Although giving more slaughter per swing it is less precise and harder to use. But it's unorthodox attack patterns means it is harder to guard against. And it's more slaughter per swing makes it useful against the semi-skilled hordes on the battlefield.

Several Single Bladed Lightsabers: The traditional weapon of Jedi and Sith alike it is a elegant weapon requiring a deep connection to the force to use effectively use. Each one of the lightsabers is tailored made to suit each of the Lightsaber styles known.
Lightsaber color: All of Yusanis lightsabers bear a Silver color as a outward sign of being a Gray Jedi. Although each is tinged slightly with a under color as the tailor made nature of each lightsaber necessitated different materials for each

Background:

Born on the Echani homeworld of Eshan he was raised in the traditional way of his race to the age of three when his force sensitive nature came to light. His parents knowing that their child would need training to Harness the power within him and knowing that left alone Yusanis would fall to his power and become a slave to it if left alone presented him to the Jedi Council. Upon testing the child it was apparent his connection to the Force ran deep. But the wisest of the Council questioned if they should accept him for his future they could not see. It was clouded and linked to many other futures, his fate it seemed was twisting vine that defied all attempts to discern it.

But as Yusanis was only three they decided reluctantly to take him in. This would be the last time Yusanis would see his birth parents. But despite a childish sadness he soon grew accustomed to the harsh life of a Jedi. His Echani heritage of expression through combat meant he could often be found weapon in hand training. Although his movements spoke clearly for any Echani the words they spoke where lost on all but the Masters and the wisest Knights. But they saw in the child a determination to rise to the top. To command his power and use it. Indeed the Echani child soon developed such skill in combat they where forced to enroll Yusanis in the advance classes as the other young students simply couldn't keep up with him.

It was here his Echani heritage shone but the Masters where uneasy with the prowess and eagerness Yusanis showed in Combat. But he had morality and common sense in spades as will. Although he would not hesitate during his missions with his Master to fight if it came down to it he tired the Jedi way of Diplomacy first, only resorting to combat if all else failed.

Rising to the Rank of Jedi Knight at the age of 16 after being knighted on the Battlefield by a Council Member for ending the Battle through covert peace talks rather then through strength with words He was soon embroiled in the life of a Jedi Knight. Missions on far flung planets, battles against wannabe Sith, peace talks. He seemed the perfect Jedi, Peaceful, Wise, and above all calm. But such things where not to last.

Shortly before the Sith Empire Invaded Yusanis was sent to his homeworld of Eshan to track down Illegal Energy Shield Sales. While talking to a Echani Weapons Dealer he noticed a Echani woman trying out several different vibroswords. Her movements with each blade graceful and speaking of skill with the undertone of peace and serenity. She was suddenly aware of this Echani Jedi watching her yet kept her movements going flowing through each stance, each motion knowing what this Echani Jedi was thinking.

Leaving the store he cursed his Echani heritage ability to read the words spoken by movements and combat. For they had awoken a part of him that he thought his Jedi training killed. He suddenly loved this woman, seeing in her motions and movements a kindred spirit. She understood him like not even his former Master did and they where strangers.

Resolving to put this to rest he slept for a few hours before going back to the Store. Sure enough the Echani woman was still there. Tossing him a Virbosword they dueled. Each of their moves mirroring each other perfectly, she proved to have reflexes to match even his Jedi enhanced skills. Blow after blow rang out and after what seemed an Eternity they both fell to the ground at the same time, their stamina drained. It was then Yusanis knew he could never truly be a Jedi ever again, for true Love was against the Jedi Code. For a Jedi must be calm and clear from the demands of normal life to truly be impartial protectors of civilization.

" My name is Yusanis." He said simply staring at the woman.

" My Name is Raskta." She answered just as simply.

" A fitting name for one as skilled as you." He replied.

And it was then there love started. It was at first a secret thing, but it seemed to grow as things will. After Rising to the Rank of Weapons Master Yusanis saw his love less and less as he was consumed with the duties of his Rank. But one Day he asked to appear before the Entire Council and His Master. Granting his strange Request he was summoned to the Council Chambers where all of the Members sat while his Master stood.

Telling them of his love Raskta the Council where shocked and while his Master alone nodded his head for he could Sense the unease his former student felt when around other Jedi.

Debating amongst themselves the Council Members chose to expel Yusanis from the Jedi Order. But as a token of their faith in him and his services rendered in the name of Peace they let him keep his many lightsabers he had built over the years to suit his vast reportorial of Lightsaber combat styles and stances. Saying goodbye to the Council and Sorry to his Master, Yusanis departed from the Jedi Temple and returned to his Love on Eshan.

For a time they lived together peacefully, even bringing a child into this world. Born of a Jedi Father and Weapons Master in her own right it was no surprise the child showed great talent in the force. As his parents had done before him Yusanis brought his daughter to the Jedi Temple. Where his Master agreed despite the protest of the council to train the Child as Yusanis had been forbidden to train students by the Council,a ruling he intended to follow.

Leaving his daughter in care of his Former master Yusanis returned home to hear along the way of Sith Attack on the outer Rim. It seemed war beckoned to this Echani former Jedi Knight. Returning home he was drafted into the Echani Army that was assembled to aid the Republic. As the only Force User in the Echani army he was promoted to the the Rank of General due to his past battles.

Despite knowing his wife was serving in a front line covert unit Yusanis fought well, lead his troops to victory after victory. But It seemed the Sith Forces he fought against where endless. Not matter how many Ships he destroyed, no matter how many systems he retook nothing seemed to slow their advance. Their tactics brutal and straightforward it was easy to counter them as they showed no skill in the finer points of War. But despite this the Sith where winning by Sheer force of numbers.

After fighting them for some time Yusanis received a letter that would forever alter his fate. His wife despite a heroic attempt had been killed by Sith Forces while fighting on Duxan. Falling into a rage he fell into Darkness. Taking his fleet to Duxan against orders he added it's might against to the surrounded and outnumbered Republic forces there. He then left his fleet to sneak aboard the Enemies Flag ship during the confusion of battle in a stealth fighter. Fighting his way through the Sith troops on board he made his way to the Bridge where a Sith Lord Greeted him.

" Your wife cried your name with her dying Breath. Tis a pity really, she was a fine fighter. Its rare to see true strength among the weaklings of the Republic."

" I'll carve those words on your tombstone Sith." Was all Yusanis answered before activating his lightsaber which still bore the blue color of a Jedi's blade. Rushing his opponent their lightsaber clashed against each other as they proved equally skilled in the art of lightsaber combat. But with his Echani heritage he could read the flow of battle clearer then this Sith Lord and knew it would be only a few more minutes before the Sith would be consume by stupid pride to prove his strength.

Spinning his lightsaber to build force for the strike the Sith Lord underestimated the fact that Echani especially Jedi Echani can read battle like a open book. For an Echani battle was a tactical thing as well as being a means of expression, their intel such as it is allows them to make choices far easier then most combatants. And Yusanis made his, using the lull in combat the Echani struck forcing his way through the Sith's guard with sheer force and thrusting upward to slice his Head off,a combat move discouraged by the Jedi for it's inherent Dark nature.

Looking down at the Sith Lords corpse he knew he had fallen to his anger and hate, he let pain their source guide his hand. Instead of serving peace and the innocent he had only served his desire for revenge. In a way the Sith Lord he had killed was a better person then him. For at least he was honest about who he was.

" In these Dark times, the honest ones are the ones who stand by their convictions and ambitions. Even if that ambition means walking a road paved with corpses." He said to himself aloud

Looking at the Sith Retreating before the Echani fleet he knew his place in the Republic was over. He could not preach peace and serve it's cause with only anger and hate in his heart. He could bear this pain and still maintain control of his sanity. So he left the Sith Flagship in a Cargo Ship and headed towards the Sith Empire in the Unknown Regions. He was still determined to fight the Sith but he could no longer do it as a Defender of the light. Instead he would walk down their path, learn their secrets and turn them against the Sith. He would destroy them from the inside out. This he could do at least.

After a few months he found their Source. Walking freely amongst them, openly bearing his weapons he met with their Leaders and Prophets. He was admitted into their ranks based on his anger,pain, hate, and on his ability to harness them with becoming a slave to them. For the Sith like the Jedi believed in emotional control but of a different tenet then the Jedi. Where as the Jedi preached Emotional Suppression to maintain impartiality the Sith preached Emotional power, using powerful Emotions to fuel their power.

After 10 years the Echani was a full fledged Sith Lord, holding the title Bladesmaster he taught the Sith a few tricks even they didn't know. But for every thing he taught them he took tenfold. Holocrons, Knowledge, and even Power. Despite being a Sith Yusanis never adopted Red crystals although he did learn the craft of their making and even made several to hand out to his students to power their training sabers. Instead he crushed his blue Jedi Crystals to dust and hunted for Silver Ones. Finding them after a while he was soon using silver lightsabers as outward sign of his inner belief although he said it was merely to mark him out among the Sith Ranks. So that the Republic would truly fear him. Something the other Sith Lords could understand.

Now he hunts Sith, weakening them whenever possible. Killing them in secret, his cover as a Sith Lord and Bladesmaster the prefect cover.

Personality: Yusanis despite his recent life events maintains an aura of the calm he once held. But Anger and Hate being the emotions the Sith draw on most he is a divided person. At times he is the eye of the storm,at other times he is the storm.

Weaknesses:
Despite his considerable combat prowess and ability to read events and battles Yusanis has doubts about his path in life. Sometimes he thinks he should have kept his love secret, that remaining even a False Jedi is better the Dark Paths he now walks.

Derek, I hope you are aware that merely to use the dark side of the force leads to corruption? It may not seem like it, but in terms of Good and Evil in the force, there is no gray. If you use dark powers, you will feel corruption. Force Crush and Force Lightning are fueled by the dark side, as is Force Choke..
Also, does he know all nine forms of lightsaber combat?

Of course, I could join by trying to steal the artifact for myself, as the Sith is divided after the death of Naga Sadow, and the more artifacts a Lord have, the more likely it would be for him to succeed as the next 'official' Dark Lord of the Sith. How about you outline the main story and start the OoC thread?

I was thinking that as the only Sith currently around, you could proclaim yourself Dark Lord, and also accompany Anto on this mission at least. You could be paying me for my services, and using me to collect artifacts to build your power to legitimize your claim.

Also, Derek's character is interesting... Perhaps he should be a bit older, and have taken more time to accomplish all that, though. He could possibly be part of Fluesopp's character's army, Blademaster, even.

In any case, Neither of your characters would have been alive when Anto was a Sith, so neither of you would know him in that capacity...

Also, I revised my profile heavily, and am currently working on the history. He's old as dirt, so it'll be long.

Criticism of Anto would be appreciated, I was trying to de-Stu him, but I think I might have worsened the problem.

I think I'll start the IC thread now.

Everyone here is approved so far, but I won't hesitate to kick anyone out if they're too ridiculous and unrealistic,

Fluesopp Yusanis is only a Gray Jedi in that he only wants revenge against the Sith and won't bother with the Jedi. I merely used the term Gray Jedi as no other more fitting term exist in Canon material. And while Dark Side powers do corrupt most of the time it has been noted several Jedi have used Sith powers with little ill effect on their personality. Although to be fair they have used said powers sparingly.

And yeah he does Fluesopp you don't get to be a Jedi Weapons Master and a Sith Bladesmaster by only knowing the forms a Padawn would.

And Sans Delilah 48 years is a long time. Besides I thought it was good age. It gave him a long life, yet he still is in the same shape younger force users are. And this is important as he prefers physical combat and only resorts to Force Powers if no other option is available. And all his force powers are geared towards combat. He doesn't bother with the higher Powers as it where.

Alright, a little less hostility would be nice.

And the age issue was just a suggestion.

I started the IC thread and set up the story there.

I do apologize if you read my words as hostile. But I do not think the fault is entirely mine, but that is a discussion for an other time.

Does the term Dun Moch mean anything to any of you.

Dun Moch is a combat technique, not a polite conversational device.

Use it in the RP, not here.

I believe I am going to have reword myself, it seems I have offended you.

Which answers another one of my questions but that isn't the point at the movement.

I was merely seeing if you knew what it was. A lot of the Jedi vs Sith Rps I have been in have been lackluster due to the Rpers lack of knowing what Dun Moch is. They fail to react to it in the proper way. Instead they either ignore in it as which I assuming is not knowing what it is and thinking it is plain old run of the mill taunting. Or they actually take it the wrong way and assume I am committing that most deadly of all sins, godmodding. But you seem to know what it is so I'll end here.
