Hai...

We saw your interest in getting the Star Wars RP back up and running, but in order to build a plot that would work, we need to know a bit about what sort of character you have in mind...

The setting for the story we'll cover in this round of the RP is the early parts of the Clone Wars.
What we do not know, is whether it should focus on the war as a whole, a small part (say a few worlds) or something else altogether. The character idea you give might give us an idea of what would work best.

Here are some theoretical concepts for the plot:
- Jedi Temple training of young Jedi, but you are uncertain about your path. Is the way of the Jedi the best path?
- A series of battles ranging across various worlds (1-2 at a time), with characters leading troops on each side
- A story revolving around the Jedi temple, in particular the command areas for the war. You are one of several jedi knights therein, but at least one of the other Jedi there is in fact a fallen one, serving the separatist cause.


If you could think on the above plots, or even suggest another if you think that would work better, then reply, we would be quite thankful.
Remember that the RP is unlikely to get more than eight or so active players, so we can't use a plot that would require dozens of characters.


As a guide, we wrote up a rudimentary character sheet. You can design a character out of it, but you may also add categories to it. Try to write more than one or two sentences, especially on the history. It is a fairly good setup to have about as many strengths as weaknesses, and they don't need to all be major.

We would also prefer it if you avoid using any characters that are central to the canon storyline here, as they have limited development potential and make fitting a story plot much harder. Some of the central characters may appear as NPCs, though. (Non-Player Characters).

May the force be with you. (or against you, if you'd prefer that...)

Semper wrote:Well you have to watch it even with that. There is a reason DV can deflect blaster bolts and Yoda can deflect force lightning.. they're two of the most powerful force users ever. Mace Windu could do neither, nor could most jedi.

Using Telekenisis as a force shield i'd even object too.. because it just didn't happen. If it did the arena battle at the end of episode II would have consisted of 200 jedi or so casually walking about with their hands raised deflecting every blaster bolt until they surrounded count dooku. There is a reason Yoda lived for 900+ years and Vader can do that stuff and every other bugger, including Kenobi and Windu and even Palpatine (for example) had to make big uses of lightsabres, armour, tanks, puppets and the likes.

You'll have to seriously rain in on force powers and remember that anyone being a jedi here isn't going to be able to do anything major.

To summerise in as short as possible.. not everyone is the chosen one or Yoda.
