It's seventy-three(73) years after the events in KOTOR2. Revan's Tale has been told to many Jedi, warning them of the temptation of the dark side, and how it leads to nothing but chaos and destruction. The Jedi Order has rebuilt itself, stronger than ever, and spread out across the various worlds of the Republic.

You are...Jedi Trainees. Your Master has decided to take you to an uncharted world with him/her, and to explore the world, as part of your trials to become a Jedi Knight. The night before, you have constructed your lightsaber(s), and are ready to go. Little do you know, that on this world you have chosen to go to, is the world that the Sith have been slowly rebuilding off of. You will either resist these new Sith, in their struggle to overthrow the Jedi, or fall to the power of the Dark Side.

Information;

Three Jedi Classes; Jedi Guardian, Jedi Sentinel, and Jedi Consular.

Guardian; A Jedi Guardian was the name given to a Jedi whose skills and talents lay in battle, a light side mirror of the Sith Warrior. They often concentrated on martial training and combat and usually engaged in combat more than any other Jedi, though they were no less skilled at diplomacy and they were just as strong in utilizing force powers and techniques as a Jedi Consular. Like all Jedi, they were keepers of the peace, acting as a kind of special police force for the Galactic Republic. Guardians traditionally wielded blue lightsabers, though this was not a rule.Once a Guardian attained the rank of Jedi Master, they were given the honorific title of Warrior Master.

Sentinel; The Jedi Sentinels were a sub-sect of the Jedi Order that sought a balance between the two extremes of the Jedi, the Jedi Consulars and the Jedi Guardians. They possessed adequate combat skills and had somewhat extensive knowledge of the Force. Along with this blended knowledge of both combat and the Force, they also possessed exceptional non-Force skills, such as in the fields of security, computers, stealth techniques, demolitions, repair or medicine. These skills tended to take the forefront in their middle-road approach to problems; while a Guardian might bash down a locked door and a Consular simply knock, a Sentinel would instead pick the lock. A Sentinel's default lightsaber color is yellow, but like Guardians and Consulars, is up to the individual.

Consular; A Jedi Consular (also called a Jedi seer) was, like all Jedi, skilled in battle, but rarely entered combat, preferring to study the mysteries of the Force. Consulars were the primary scholars and diplomats and seers of the Order, often becoming instructors. What the Jedi Guardian preferred to achieve by combat, the Jedi Consular achieved by words or the Force. Traditionally, they wielded a green lightsaber, but, like all Jedi, they were free to choose their own color for the blade. Jedi Consular unlike Jedi Guardian was an actual rank within the Jedi Order and when they attained the rank of Jedi Master, consulars became known as Sage Masters.

Lightsaber forms of Combat;

Form I: Shii-Cho "Way of the Sarlacc" or "Determination Form." Form I is the most basic of the seven forms and is learned by every Jedi Youngling. Shii-Cho includes the fundamental elements of all the lightsaber forms including the basic attack, parry, body target zones, and practice drills called velocities.

Form II: Makashi "Way of the Ysalamir" or "Contention Form." Form II represents the ultimate refinement of lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat. Masters of Makashi develop unique offenses and defenses and train studiously against having their sabers taken or damaged.

Form III: Soresu "Way of the Mynock" or "Resilience Form." Form III was first developed in response to the advancement of blaster technology in the galaxy. Soresu's emphasis on tight, efficient movements that expose very minimal target areas, make it the most defensive and passive of the seven forms.

Form IV: Ataru "Way of the Hawk-Bat" or "Aggression Form." Form IV is the most acrobatic of all the forms and requires a Jedi to first master the Force Run, Jump, and Spin abilities. By incorporating all the Force powers that allow a Jedi to exceed standard norms of physical abilities, Jedi may resemble nothing less than a blur when using this style.

Form V: Shien / Djem So "Way of the Krayt Dragon" or "Perseverance Form." Form V was also created in response to the advancement and frequency of blaster use in the galaxy. Unlike the strictly defensive style Soresu, Shien exploits the ability of a lightsaber to block blaster bolts and deflect them back at an opponent in a counter-attack maneuver. In a duel, the Djem So variation of this form, which focused on strength, would be used.

Form VI: Niman "Way of the Rancor" or "Moderation Form." Form VI seeks to balance the emphases of forms I through V. Niman allows a Jedi to fight with harmony and justice without having to resort to powerful, aggressive movements or overt emotion.

Form VII: Juyo / Vaapad "Way of the Vornskr" or "Ferocity Form." Juyo instead employs bold, direct movements, more open and kinetic than form V, but not so elaborate as the acrobatic form Ataru. Juyo requires greater energy and intensity out of the practitioner because his focus is wielded more broadly and draw upon from a deeper well of emotion; while the outward bearing of a Form VII practitioner is one of calm, the inner pressure verges on explosive. It was also considered to be the most dangerous in regard to falling to the Dark Side, because it required a certain amount of enjoyment in the fight from the person experiencing it.

Example;

Name- Skyler Lekauf

Race- Kel-Dor(http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kel_Dor)

Age- 25(Roughly 20 in human years)

Jedi Class- Jedi Guardian

Lightsaber Combat Style- Form II- Makashi

Color of Saber- Orange

Personality- Skyler is a very determined Jedi. He plays by the rules, and tries to save as many lives as possible. He doesn't like the Sith, and tries to defeat them, and resist falling to the dark side.

Bio- Skyler was sent to the Jedi Order at a young age, to start his Jedi training. He was found to be physically tough, so he began extensive lightsaber combat training. He still uses his Force powers, but prefers to feel the clash of lightsaber on lightsaber. His Master, Jedi Master Syrial, a human, has been training him n the ways of the Jedi.

You get the idea, right?

[Nils]

Yay. First RP in FES.

Name- Raelin Stellar
Race- Human
Age- 19
Jedi Class- Guardian
Lightsaber Combat Style-Form VII:"Ferocity Form"
Color of Saber- Silver
Personality- Raelin is a kind and caring person who always thinks before he acts. This hides the sly and cunning side of him. He greatly values his friends and dislikes injustice. His aggressive, fast style is often a cause of worry for his master, Master Brahm. He has been known to keep calm even in the worst parts of his training. He is an excellent pilot who has mastery over all manuverings of his ship. He also likes to build things. In his spare time he can be found in the junk yards of Couresant, collecting mysterious parts for an equally mysterious reason.

Bio- Raelin was found starving in the streets of Couresant. He had fainted and would have died if Master Brahm had not noticed the powerful ripple in the Force caused, unknowingly, by Raelin. He knows of his potential with the Force but is unsure of how to completely utilize them. He has almost pale white skin, silver hair and deep blue eyes.

Name- Alethar Saanu

Race- Zabrak (Like Darth Maul, for those of you that don't know.) Zabrak were proud, strong, and confident beings. They believed that nothing was truly impossible, and strove to prove skeptics wrong at every turn. Some Zabraks carried themselves with an air of superiority, frequently discussing the achievements of their people with pride that could border on arrogance. As warriors or adventurers, Zabrak tended to be dedicated, intense, and extremely focused.

Age-21

Jedi Class- Sentinel

Lightsaber Combat Style- Form IV- Aggression Form

Color of Saber- Red (Two sabers)

Personality- Alethar is a quiet, subdued individual, his mind having been touched by the horrors of the dark side from an early age. Only when he is truly comfortable with someone will he reveal his true nature- like that of his lightsaber style, he is flighty and quick-minded, with a biting wit and sharp mind.

Bio- Alethar was found by his current master on the Sith world of Korriban while he was on a scouting mission. Alethar grew there, and his mind had been touched by the spirits of long-dead Sith. When his master took him back to the Jedi Temple, the other students felt unease near him, the 'Sith-Touch', they called it. As a result, Alethar spent most of his time training with the few that would actually make contact with him, or in the library studying the ancient treatises on the power of the Force, and of the creature who wields it. He sees this current mission as a way to prove himself, and prides himself on pushing himself to the very limit of his ability. He has almost golden skin, red-orange eyes, with striking streaks of black under his eyes and on his cheeks. he has five vestigial horns arranged in a rough pentagram shape, forming a crown atop his head.

Question. Do we have to use standard lightsabers?

[Dath]

No, you can have double-sabers, and dual wielding, as well.

Both are accepted.

[Nils]

A double saber Jedi. They should put that in a movie.

[Dath]

Will start thread soon.

[Seraphinox]

I'll join, Just soon. thank you for your understanding

[Dave Strider]

[Rennac]

KOTOR 2 happened thousands of years before General Greivous existed, so in canon, no.

[Nils]

@ Reinfleche:

Grevious=Sith

[Dath]

Grievous technically wasn't a Sith, so...yeah.

Thread's coming up now.

[Dave Strider]

I finished my character dude and posted in the RP already (sorry for not waiting, but I couldn't help it, star wars is just that awesome... and what are you gonna do, decline me from playing or something? XD)

[Dath]

I could. But why would I do that? It's not against the rules to post in the RP thread; it's what I want you to do lol.

[Dave Strider]

By the way. I c wut u did thar with the subtitles.

"Oh. Oh. See?"= OOC
"Are. Pea?"= RP

Do I win anything?

[Roque Minonovo]

Am I still able to join this RP or are you guys too far ahead?

[Rennac]

If you want to, you could take over Dath's character. If not, you could be someone who we find on the surface of the planet.

[Nils]

You're borderline right now. Read the events in the RP so far and make your character and appearance (which is going to be really last minute but ok ) accordingly.

[Roque Minonovo]

I'll try to make it tomorrow if I can remember. Things are kind of hectic with the AP exams going on.

[Roque Minonovo]

Name-Lothor Noza
Race-Human
Age-19
Jedi Class-Consular
Lightsaber Combat Style-Soresu
Color of Saber-Green
Personality-Lothor is a very inquisitive Jedi, never truly seeing the light or dark, only the knowledge contained within the force. He is very open to bending rules, though he hates combat.
Bio-Lothor was born into a rich family of scholars on Dantooine and quickly followed the suit of his parents, learning as much as he could before his natural affinity for the force was discovered and he was sent to the Jedi academy on Courscant to continue his studies. He focused greatly on controlled mastery of the force, and not so much on his skills with a lighsaber. However, he is still able to put up a fair defense if he is attacked.

[Rennac]

Okay, I'll wedge you into this story. Glad we've got at least one of every class now.
