StarGateWars Forums

Hey everybody. I was wondering if people were first off interested in a star wars RP. I was wanting to have it setting in the Old Republic Era when Jedi and Sith were numerous on both sides. As for a story line and stuff I'm still deciding and I'm all ears. Right now I'm just trying to see who is interested.

This RP is set a few years after the Mandalorian Wars.

As for characters you can be whatever you want. Jedi, Sith, Republic Trooper, Sith Trooper, Bounty Hunter, Droid, whatever. The Sith Forces need a Sith Lord to lead them. I'll lead the Jedi Forces. If someone wants to be a Republic General thats cool. Just need people to sign up.

Here is the RP:

Characters Needed:
Anything except Sith masters and Jedi council members
jedi padawans/young knights, non-force wielding characters and various sith (up to the level of sith knight) are preferred...

For now no more Jedi or Sith Masters are being accepted. If more and more people keep joining then cap will be raised. It'll be boring if everyone was a Master running around. More fun if there was training and etc.

Also here is a list of Accepted Force Powers. Note that Dark Side Powers have DS next to them. All others are neutral powers that both sides can use. If you have any questions, lemme know:

[spoiler]force push - duh.
force crush (DS) - use the force to crush an opponent.
force choke (DS) - duh.
force jump - larger than life leaps.
force levitate - floating.
force speed - increased speed.
force valour - gives energy and vitality to spur onto great feats.
force vitality - revive or keep fallen comrades alive.
force shield - create a shield from the force to protect, limited use.
force body - use physical energy to increase force strength.
battle meditation - inspires and encourages those around you. Requires great concentration from all but the most honed experts (only two speculated users who did not need to be in constant meditation are Yoda and Palpatine).
drain life (DS) - absorb the energy of another to heal yourself.
force scream (DS) - releasing a 'psychic' scream that shocks and causes molecular damage.
force lightning (DS) - duh.
force storm - storm of force lighting, difficult to control (NOT palpatines force storm from post ROTJ crap).
breath control - sustain your body on little oxygen.
beast trick - control animals.
force deflection - deflect things without lightsabre, advanced telekinesis.
force sight - see opponents alignment.
mind trick - duh.
precognition - duh.
force telekinesis - duh.
force suppression - counter use of force powers, halt force regeneration.
shatterpoints - use the force to shatter things (yeah, generic description I know).
Telepathy - duh.
Force stasis/stun - stun and freeze opponents.
Force Poison - slowly erode energy of opponent.
Force Illusion - advanced telepathy to create personal illusions causing fear, happiness yadda yadda.[/spoiler]

here's an emptied version of character sheet:

Was there a time when sith and jedi were both numerous?


I dont know anything about starwars or role playing but I can try.

Actually there was a point in time where the Sith had an Empire, similar to the Imperial Forces Darth Vader had in the movies, but instead of the only Sith being Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine there were numerous Sith. It was kind of like the Jedi Order. They had a Dark Lord of the Sith who reigned over all of the Sith, Sith Master (the equivalent of a Jedi Master), Sith Knights (the equivalent of a Jedi Knight) Sith Apprentices, Sith Troopers (like Storm Troopers), etc. And there were hundreds, possibly thousands of them. Kind of like the Jedi Order was before its fall.

That link there will show you a history of the Sith and how they grew to power and fell numerous times and why they weren't from being numerous to the Rule of Two.

Same with that for Jedi.

Both Sith and Jedi were popular around the time of the Old Republic.

we'll gladly help out here... and of course join in...

here's a few questions to help get things ready for launch...

what sort of methods for interaction will you have?

how will people fight?

what sort of worlds will there be?

how will space be traversed?

will there be great space battles?

People will fight. No god modding however. You can say something along the lines of swinging your lightsaber at someone or shooting at some one, but your target will be the one to RP whether or not those hit or not.

There will be space battles. Starfighters and capital ships involved and maybe even giant space weapons or space bases.

Worlds: Coruscant, Korriban, Hoth, Tatooine, Kamino, maybe a few others

As for interaction: Not really clear on what you mean. interaction anyone can interact. You just can't control another person's charcter. If you want to you can throw in some NPC's as long as you are realistic with them.

As for a plot: Basically a large intergalactic war that involves the Sith and their forces against the Jedi and the Republic forces. The Sith invade some outer-rim worlds with a massive force and move inward towards the core worlds. Maybe give them a super weapon that needs to be destroyed? May steal some ideas from Modern Warfare 2 (plot wise)

I used to RP on another site when it was active star wars wise. Here are some of my really early pieces:

WARNING: Those were my first two Star Wars RP's ever so expect lots of mistakes lol. I'm a lot better. Looking at them I realise 90% of my posts were...horrible. I godmodded like crazy. N00b mistakes

Can I be the Fett Man?..

hmm... that gives a few details to work with...

you should look a bit at the various detail threads from the Shéral RP... (not story threads), those could help with designing a few parts...

Sun God Ra wrote:Can I be the Fett Man?..

of course

at Zeratul: I'll look at it

I'm prolly gonna start a thread in a few days. If you're interested, just make a character and have it ready. I'll just use someone of higher up figures that I requested as NPC's or I'll RP more than one person until someone wants to take over.

Base it off KOTOR or prior to the events of KOTOR
Throw in some mandalorians

hmm...prior would be cool. There was a big war between the Sith the Jedi before that. Its been a while since I've played KOTOR, I'll have to reread what lead up to it again.

Either way Mandalorians can be included as long as you describe how they got there. They could be like in KOTOR II and be a small faction of Mandalorians still running around or a secret group that was in hiding.

And whatever plot I choose doesn't nessecarily have to go the way I want it to go. In some of my previous RP's I had a set plot, but the other RPers in there added so many twists and turns to it that it made it more fun and longer.

a basic plot is usually nice... but dont ever expect story to keep to your plot... you'll only be disappointed when players twist it away...

well, ive never /RPed before, but i'll give it a try!!!

love the HECK out of star wars. quick question though: although my character would by no means be all-powerful, or really anywhere near it, can i be a lightsaber-prodigy who wields a double-bladed lightsaber in one hand and a single-bladed in the other who's training in the powers of the sith (basically a jedi able to resist the dark side). i've always wanted to be able to customize a SW character to wield lightsabers like that, but no game or star wars experience i've ever had has allowed me to explore the possibilities of or given me enough freedom to do it

just make sure there's no Fairwind

>_>

we see no reason to deny such usage of lightsabers...

but its really up to JediMasterX...

SCOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!!
