This is the new descriptions thread. I will start by porting over all the old ones. I am starting by describing all the NPCs (Non-player characters) in the game- that is, those controlled by me. This thread only tends to describe Jedi on either side, by the way.

Trorn- controlled by Ushgarak

Trorn is a long-standing Jedi Disciple from the planet Talorthane. His people have exceptionally quick mental processes for what other people consider tedious tasks- in short, they make great clerks, administrators, librarians etc.

Trorn is one of the Council's representatives. He will often be the person who asks you to come before the Council if they have sent for you, and will guide you there when you do.

Trorn is not the most social of people. He tends to get caught up in his various administrative tasks. He also comes across as smug and arrogant, but somehow likeable as well.

As far as you know, he has never left the Temple since his training ended. In template terms he is an Acolyte.

Argentis, Jedi Knight- controlled by Ushgarak

Argentis is a young and easy going Knight, who achieved Knight status last year a little while after an extended period as a Padawan out in the Galaxy.

Like many young Knights, he is worryingly keen to make a difference, but as yet no official assignments have been found for him.

Argentis has a concentration problem; he was not the bnest pupil ever but he has become a very competent Knight.

Argentis is noit a formiadbale force user, and while he is a competent sabre fighter he is not the best. However, no-one can deny the good phsycial shape he is in. And Argentis is one of the most athletic people you have ever met.

He spends much of his time in various Temple Gyms and training areasl he seems to be able to do near impossible things with his body.

Argentis uses a standard blue sabre, without any fancy additions.

Template: One that I did not include fior players, called the Athlete. Less good at Force and Swordplay but really very nippy and acrobatic indeed.

ADDITIONAL: it has been revealed that Argentis' Master was Kuylen. Argentis has now disappeared from the Temple and is seeking his former Master out.

Argentis eventually traced his Master to Damagran, and was killed by Kuylen in a duel at the end of 'Revenge'. He is mourned by the Order.

Ratjan Kiel, Jedi Master- controlled by Ushgarak

A Twi'lek, Kiel is an easy going Master who has always proven popular. Yerssot was one of his padawans, and it is this 'hook' which has gotten him involved with the players.

Ratjan eventually found his wayward former pupil and brought him back to the Temple to receive treatment for his errant ways.

Ithrorn, Jedi Knight- controlled by Ushgarak

Ithrorn is a young Knight with several successful missions under his belt. He recently completed his last mission with his Master before his Master retired from active service. Available for the disposition of the Council, he was quickly assigned to help the players.

Ithrorn is a deadly serious Knight, taught by a stern Master. He is not actually harsh but tends to look at things very dispassionately. Actually, with all these young and wild Knights around, the Council is glad they have a few people like Ithrorn, and his lack of recklessness also makes him very popular with Masters.

He carries a green sabre; his template is Adventurer.

Krisha, Fallen Jedi- controlled by Ushgarak

Like most Dark Jedi, Krisha does not talk of her past, though clearly she has not had a happy life. She met with Kuylen sometime last year; she has not been an easy pupil, being remarkably impatient even for a Dark Sider.

Krisha's force skills are not inconsiderable; her fighting style is competent but unpracticed and undisciplined. Her red sabre is a standard model, though the hilt is full of extra little doodads, hooks, various switches, magnetic clamps... she likes her extras.

Krisha has a true genius- sabotage. There is nothing she cannot seem to rig for detonation; she has boasted that with enough time she could destroy a planet. You wouldn't like to bet against it.

In the end, Krisha is an evil, twisted, manipulative woman and none of you would trust her with anything.

She looks remarkably like Trinity from the Matrix, but without the shades.

Template-wise, she is a Fallen, with less combat ability and amazing sabotage skills.

ADDITIONAL: Krisha betreayed Kuylen and the other DS players, and was eventually slain in a duel with Quam, much to everyone's delight.

Chion, Brutish Dark Sider- controlled by Ushgarak

Chion is certainly an impressive being- not at all human. He is seven feet tall, and is albino white, with a slight blue tinge. There is a knot of blue veins at the back of his skull that radiate out and get thinner so that they just reach the top of his
head and his cheeks. He has no discernable iris, just very dark blue eyes. Light doesn't seem to bother him despite the albino connection.

He wears a sleeveless studded leather jerkin, which allow his white and horribly muscled arms to flex menacingly. He has simple loose fitting black trousers with primitive boots.

Chion's lightsabre is his most interesting feature- it is not of standard design. It is very large, almost half again as long as a normal sabre. The handle has two large speherical grips for his huge ahnds, coated to give him better grip. This makes for a clumsy but devastating weapon. Chion is no fool with this blade, and while inelegant he is a skilled fighter.

Chion almost never talks. In Star Wars terms, this makes him the most popular charatcer in the story.

No-one knows of a time when Kuylen did not have Chion with him. Chion was certainly his companion before any of the Dark Siders met him.

Chion is always used as muscle, which he is very good at. He seems to have no heart or morals. No-one has yet worked out whether he is even stupider than he looks, or far more intelligent than anyone gives him credit for...

Template: Very specialised Dark Side Template called the Brute.

Kuylen, Dark Side leader- played by Ushgarak

Kuylen comes from the constellation of Tasker's Crown, an area of space renowned for their tradtional ways and for producing superb warriors. As a warrior of his people, his fair hair is braided down the sides of his head. He is tall, though not particularly bulky. He has a beard, not unlike Blackadders, for anyone in the know of that show- well measured and trimmed.

Kuylen wears a Pelisse, a jacket worn like a cloak with an arm through one sleeve (very much like a Napolenonic-era French officer). He always removes it before a fight. He wears a dark blue jacket and trousers, and black cavalry boots. He looks very much like a military commander. He sometimes wears his old Jedi robes.

His purple lightsabre is the essence of simplicity, a black hilt with an on/off button, a belt hook and nothing else. Kuylen has no need for a flashy sabre. In combat he is the most dangerous man any of you have ever met. His sabre skills are devastating- he uses a series of disguised feints and rapid attacks to quickly undo any opponent. Kuylen is not untalented in the Force, either, though he lacks the patience to be a Master of it.

Kuylen was once a Jedi. His love of military history meant that his main job was working in the Jedi Archives, where he achieved a position of some importance. But a Knight of his calibre was too good to waste, and he was often sent on dangerous missions to outlying parts of the Republic. He has trained two Padawans in his time, and was a sure bet by many to become a Jedi Master.

Two years ago Kuylen disappeared while on a Jedi mission to Hutt space, the nature of which is unknown. He was pronounced missing, presumded dead, by the Council shortly afterwards following a brief investigation. As far as the Council is concerned, Kuylen is a much-missed Jedi who fell trying to fulfill his duty.

The truth is very different, but even Kuylen's followers do not know his full story. But Kuylen found and recruited each of them into his organisation.

Kuylen runs the Dark Siders with ruthless military discipline. One-time failure is tolerated, two-time failure leads to him executing the miscreant. Kuylen firmly believes that any internecine strife amongst the Dark Siders can be prevented with sufficient discipline. Therefore, whilst he seeks the secrets of the long dead Sith, he does not believe in their ways.

In person, Kuylen is rather intense, thoughtful and intelligent, though prone to fits of anger. He is often condescending, but rarely anything other than entirely clear about what he wants.

When confronted with an immediate problem, Kuylen tends to act rather than wait. He is quick to draw his sabre and normally quick to finish off the situation. Sometimes his impatience costs him but it makes him all the more dangerous to cross.

This is queeq's description

Quam Ak-toh

Was born on a smuggler's transport where he was raised the first 6 six of his life, until the ship that carried him crashed on Garban. The rest of his youth he spent with the Jenet tribe until a Jedi landed there and noticed the his Force capabilities. After being initiated to the Force, he was deemed too old. Ever since he walks the Dark Path... out to have his revenge.

This is Edna's description

Born as the illegitimate child of a promiscuous slave in the Meridian sector, Edna quickly began to feel alone and unloved by her harsh mother.

At a very early age, her insatiable curiosity and apparent awareness of her surroundings caught the eye of Yarric Dorsa, the Anzanti Mercenary who owned her and her mother. He had apparently seen talents that Edna herself was not aware she had.

She quickly became the most useful tool at his disposal. Her spy skills togther with her irresistable child-like chram made her ideal for covert operations. But Edna was intelligent and had soon realised that she was capable of so much more and that if she wanted, she could easily destroy Yarric and all that he had worked for.

When she reached the age of 14 and felt she had gained all that she could from the mercenary, she decided it was time for her to go it alone and break her way out of this life that was holding her back. But even with her abilities she could not get off planet without being detected. Yarric had been expecting her betrayal for years. Everything she tried, he seemed to have some kind of barrier to stop her escaping. He knew her too well.

She finally gave up through exhaustion but the rage was building up inside of her. Yarric found her curled up in a ball inside a ventilation shaft, too dark for him to see the anger on her face. He reached out a hand to her, and Edna finally lost her self control. She released the rage inside of her, closing her eyes and basking in the force that flowed through her. She finally reopened them to see the destruction she had caused. The entire shaft had caved in around her. She crawled and dug her way out and was strangely not surprised to see Yarric dead on the floor, his outstretched arm decapitated. She had already known it, somehow. The mixed feelings of shock and pure satisfaction confused and overwhelmed her. She left and never returned.

She wondered the galaxy alone for the next to years, not understanding much of what was hapening around her and being more interested in her own abilities. She explored what she could achieve but never touching on that power she had discovered. Not until she met Kuylen.

He seemed to be there everywhere she went, watching her. She couldn't hide from him in her usual ways. He would always find her. He seemed curious like most other people were about her but in a different way. That scared her. He finally took her under his wing and encouraged her skills in the force. He showed her things she could never have imagined.

Now at the age of 20, Edna is strong in the force but still relatively untrained. Most ofher talents being rather experimental. She is incredibly fast and nimble and very small. Her youthful looks are a strong asset and in many eyes she still appears nothing more than an innocent child. Her lack of strength is her weakness but she more than compensates for this with her quick thinking and reflexes and small agile body. She is young with incredible potential.

She may appear little more than an untrained teen runaway, but Kuylen sees something in her. Could he be mistaken?

This is Phinney's description

PHINNEYES SIXEAS

Was born to a rich resident of Naboo, was discovered as a jedi at 4 years old, trained under master Ruyas. Was an acomplished pilot, but a better swordsman, Has just reached Knight Hood, Is very Dedicated and Very Happy.

Here is Yerssot's character:

Yerssot is a young lad, desperate to make his way from Knight to Master, he's big wish is to be on the Council. He isn't full of hate, he is calm, but when he enters a fight there is a big risk that he enters the Dark Side, though he never fought a Sith. He was trained by a mysteries Jedi, who lived on Hoth, there he learned everything. Yerssot isn't easily scared but he can make some strange decisions.
Born on Naboo, he was happy, but on a trip the ship crashed on Hoth, his parents died, holding him in their arms. The mystical Jedi raised him, but a path to the Dark Side was perhaps laid before him.

Yerssot, with mixed and confused emtions, now finds himself in the hands of the Dark Side players.

Here is Rex's character

"Galder Welptet was born on the world of Hoth. The cruiser carrying his parents crashed there and went through the ice and sank. 2 years after birth, his parents, Ren (his father) and Crystal (his mother) were killed by wampa ice monsters. He kept his father's green-bladed lightsaber. After years of self training (about 11 years), he used the Force to guide him to the submerged cruiser. Hacking away the ice with his lightsaber for almost another 2 years, he finally reached the cruiser's hangar doors, hacked them open, and stole a still-functional Starspeeder 3000. He modified it for human-piloting (usually piloted by an RX Droid) and left the planet.

He arrived on Tatooine where his hyperdrive broke down. He found a Dark Jedi living in the rocky walls of Beggar's Canyon. The Dark Jedi, a heavily-wounded Corsair named Pazol Crikten (A.K.A Paz), taught him the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. About 5 years later, when Gald was fully fledged into the Dark Jedi world, Pazol finally asked Gald where he came from. He told him the story of the cruiser and his parents, using the Force to remember things.

Paz told Gald that he and a group of now-dead pirates had gunned down the cruiser. Gald took this as it was Pazol's fault his parents were dead. In a fit of rage, Galder ignited his lightsaber and killed the Dark Jedi. He took his ex-Master's lightsaber, and ever since has fought with either Paz's lightsaber, his father's lightsaber, or both simultaneously, which Kuylen helped him with later. He then highered a smuggler to get him around. When Galder ran out of credits to pay him, he killed the pilot before they left a spaceport on Coruscant and tossed his body down a shaft to the lower levels.

Galder wandered the universe in a Star Viper named the Raging Reek, causing havoc and offering bodyguard duty to those who needed it. He usually kept his lightsabers well hidden. Those who saw them and tried to tell usually killed or were heavily injured and died of their wounds.

Finally, Galder met Kuylen. The tall, handsome, bearded-man gave Gald a strange feeling. He was highered on bodyguard duty. Gald learned all he could about Kuylen's private business, for all he knew was that he worked with a Hutt and pirates. Then, one day, when Kuylen had business on Damagran, they were confronted by a group of Rodians, lead by Teedo Velp. He tried best he could to hold off the Rodian bounty hunters, but they knocked him down, breaking his arm. He had only managed to take out two of them. The rest attacked Kuylen. To his amazement, Kuylen pulled out a lightsaber of his own and chopped them down. After the confrontation, Kuylen said "Come with me," and stayed with him ever since."

Here is Lance's character.

Lance Windu: Light-Side Swordsman

Lance was born to the sister of powerful Jedi Master Mace Windu. His father was of noble descent on the planet Dantooine. Lance was born on Coruscant like most of his family. At the ripe young age of 2 he was chosen by his uncle to join the Jedi Order. He studied under Master Jeqaur Rar, a Twi'lek male.

Halfway through his training he got word that his father was murdered. Lance then left the Jedi Order to extract revenge on his father's death, but he was tracked down a few months later by his master. He was told that revenge and anger would eventually lead to the Dark Side. He was told many stories of fallen and dark Jedi. He didn't want to become one of them. He started back on track to the light and re-joined the order of the knights.

When he finally stoped growing he stood a tall 1.9 meters tall. He has fairly dark skin with large brown eyes that cut straight through you. His dark hair is cut short so as to not get in the way when training with weapons.

He was a youthful energetic young man who always did what he was told. He then began training with a lightsabre. He showed exceptinal skill with weilding his weapon. Like his famous uncle he became a swordsman. He would train nearly night and day in between lesson's from his master.

His 'sabre is a light blue. The hilt of it is made from a light weight material. He even marked his name into it so whenever he had to strike someone down they would know the name of the man that had to defend and honor himself. He wouldn't kill unless he had to, which wasn't many times.

At the age of 22 he and his master were sent on a mission to Hoth. During their time there his master was encountered by a Dark Jedi. The duel between the two of them lasted for about an hour, but in the end Master Jequar lost. Lance then retreated back to the Jedi Temple and told the story to the council. They assigned him to become a Jedi Knight since he was nearly down with his training anways. Just a few days later he was sent on another mission. One with some other Jedi. This is where he is now.

This is Mah's submission

Mah Ar'cor - Adventurer

Born on Coruscant, near the Jedi Council, Mah has always had the dream of one day going on an important Jedi mission.

He is pretty tall, and very light-footed, he can move around quick with great ease. His physical strength is not very great though.
The colour of his lightsabre is turquoise.

And this is Gundy's. Phew! I'm done.

Gundark's Jedi Knighthood was transformed into that of the life of a Master when the council bestowed the title upon her just two years ago, however she has yet to take on a padawan, despite being 37 now. Born on Vataan, she was taken into the Jedi order when she was all of two years old, however her parents both died along with the rest of the unfortunate population when Vataan went super-nova when Gundark was 10. The loss was bitter, but Gundark knew the tragedy was purely fate; she reconciled her anger and grief though her training and came out much the wiser Jedi on the other end. The council relies much upon her cool, collected thinking and ability to control her fear, fear that would lead to anger, hate and suffering, and thus to the dark side as many times Master Yoda had told her. Gundark had lost track of how many field missions she had been sent on by the council, but accepted each assignment with the respect due the council, usually without question. Ushgarak was one of her closest friends in the order and he was quite strong with the Force, despite the emotional baggage of his past.

I guess I better add a better description for:

Rura Ta, "Corsair"

Rura Ta is one of Galder Weptet's very few friends, and one of the only surviving ones. He is a Kaminoan from Kamino, tall and lanky with only his blue robes and his Kaminoan suit. His deep black eyes are penetrating, and lidless. He has pale white skin.

During one of Gald's smuggling operations, stealing a supply of kyberdarts, Rura Ta jumped in and saved Gald's life. Two Kaminoan soldiers cornered Gald and were going to shoot him with the kyberdarts he had stolen, when Rura kicked one off the side of the platform and shot the other one to death.

He then joined Gald on his operation on board the Avalar platform after Gald was hired by Kuylen. He operated the mining laser. Just before Chion went on his rampage across the platform, killing all workers, Gald spared Rura Ta and gave him a lightsaber from a Jedi he had killed. Gald also gave him the Survivor, the Starspeeder 3000 that Gald had modified.

Rura gave the order to have Gald's ships moved to a special hangar on Hoth that Gald's robots had made. Rura had been trapped inside a hemisphere during the duels during the fight on Avalar. He was freed during the last few minutes, and now follows Gald and his partners on their quest to kill Faylar in K'rra Chi. He normally goes missing, not watching the others but the life around him. He is too wary of the living Force, and Gald suspects he might turn to the Light-side, though he helps them in their fight...

Xeth Tam, Freelancer

Xeth Tam is a Geonasian from the rocky, desert-like, weapon-making planet of Geonasis. Xeth was discovered to have Jedi potential by Master Numok Geth, a Zabrak Jedi Master, who had investigated the loss of weapon shipments. Master Numok took Xeth with him to Coruscant. Master Yoda gave the approval for training and that Master Numok would be his teacher.

After years of rigorous training, Xeth began accompanying Master Numok as a Padawan learner. Xeth greatly respected his master, for he was a Solitaire, and taught Xeth to be mindful of the living Force. Master Numok was assigned to many adventurous missions. This gave Xeth a like for adventure.

Xeth returned to Geonasis in a Jedi Starfighter. Poggle the Lesser had the Jedi Starfighter destroyed. Xeth then began to notice how corrupt the Geonasians had become. Xeth took a Sonic blaster and a set of armor and fled from the planet in a Geonasian starfighter, which he entitled the Nexu's Grin after the creature that the Geonasians put into the bloody arena fights. The Nexu's Grin also became a signature move of his, slashing and twirling his yellow lightsaber at the same time.

On his travels he used many things. On Tatooine he picked up a BlasTech DL-44 blaster pistol and a Gaderffii. When he made a memorial to his deceased master on Hoth, he found some discarded items in a hut, such as a glow rod, med pac, stun cuffs, and electrobinoculars. On Coruscant he bought an AstroMech droid, R3-U9, which helped him upgrade his fighter a little and repair his possessions.

Xeth Tam is currently near Damagran, returning from a body guard duty that he had failed.

Marcus

about 6 ft. I am a human born on the planet of Calamari he was spotted early by the council. when my training was completed I always remained loyal to the council and tried to act out my missions with as much honour as possible. Honour and loyalty are the things that keep the jedi and the republic in order according to me. I am a man of few words and maybe even fewer deeds but that does not make the deeds less powerful, tho my force abilities aren't the greatest there are I try to find a good balance between martial powers and force powers. it tends to lean to the martial powers tho. when I was older I learned that my parents were part of a special task unit that operated on Calamari to steal as much of value as they could and sell it to help other ppl in the galaxy. Tho I respect my parents and all life this is still a fact that I rather not had found out.


-------
now the more useful stuff

well I'm bored so I'll give u guys some more info on my character,

well I'll just write some stuff I always write about other rpg characters

With the pod race done there is now only the finale left in episode III, though I expect that to take sometime.

When episode IV starts there will be a couple of organisational changes around here. There will be new profile and story history threads created so people can more quickly and efficiently get a handle on the background. Some of the more redundant threads will be cleared out or carefully archived.

The biggest change gamewise is that the templates will change. The template section will be presented in a more streamlined form. Due to the changes some people will have a chance to change their template if they so wish. I am afraid that Fire will HAVE to change his template- and maybe his background- as due to balancing issues his template is disappearing.

Do not worry, all of this can be quickly and easily handled by any player in about five minutes. At the request of Dexx I will also be posting some indication of who is better than whom at what.

It is also possible that there will soon be an extension of the RP area, turning it into a broader section that is not Star Wars only. To be clear, this will certainly happen if we believe we have the support for non-Star Wars games. Raz, who suggested the idea, is thinking about it right now.

Thanks for your continued support and I hope you are enjoying play!

hey, I feel singled out here
j/king no no I'll chance template tho this one was cool

Yes, sorry, Fire, but the Master templates are very old and out of date. You should be able to find something to happily migrate to.

as long as its master I am fine with it

Yay, organization!

yay, changes!..can't wait.
New non sw role playing?....wow....extension! great!

So we could do Lord of the Rings or some other thing that Ush has devised...

WOOHOO!!!

hehe cool to see I am the only one winning his sabre fight tho I must admit Cpt. Rex is a very good opponent

Blimey, that went fast. Well, actually, it was a few months, but it SEEMS to have been fast. Frankly, I thought episode III went very well; once the starting hiccough was overcome we got good, regular posting, and FINALLY the big battle I wanted. Which may be repeated rather more fatally at a later date. And the Pod Race went well also!

Episode IV, "Chase", continues the story as it ends from Artifact. The Dark Siders know they have dropped the ball on Malastare but the Mausoleum may still not elude them. Kuylen sends his agents to three different locations in order to get their plan back on schedule- and this time, Kuylen himself will be involved personally in bringing their plan back on-track.

Hot on their heels come the Jedi. They have the trail of the Dark Siders now, knowing that they cannot resist the few remaining leads to the Mausoleum's location, and will chase them now until one side or the other is dead. There is no escape for the Dark Siders now- they will either come to the Mausoleum and get what they seek, or the Jedi will kill them. This Chase is to the finish.

But at this time of all times, the Dark Siders nature is working against them- because just what IS it they are fighting for? Few of them know, and internal tension is high.

Episode IV features:

-The first ever split-planet game, where the sides will be in groups following seperate plots, just as in ESB or AOTC. They will be able to have occasional communication but direct aid will not be possible

-Further opportunties to confront Persis and Ascar, in case they didn't annoy you enough the first time. And SOMEONE will have the Astrolabe by the end of this!

-The absolutely final additions to the Dark Side line-up

- And in keeping with the Star Wars mood, the first ever Jar-Jar like-character. Don't panic, though, because his irritating ways are far removed from JJ's vacuous nature. I look forward to seeing people deal with him, as he represent possibly the most tremendous obstacle the Jedi will EVER face...

As ever, the new game will start after a couple of day's break subsequent to the ending of Artifact. Thank you for your continued interest!

Sounds great, Ush !! Good job !!!

yup...can't wait. Too bad we lost this one.

hihi

Great, now Rex has an arm like Balek's, only different and not as dangerous.

GZ said he wants to join.

Yep, that I do. I already have the background and everything, as you may remember Ush...

Hey, something ate my reply!

Rex's new arm actually looks like an arm, though, and is as fleciible as a normal one.

Zink, yup, I will put up the new profile thread soon and you can post it there

yeah...do we make the game comments in the RP genearal discussion?

aaah well atleast I won

Well, you can make any ggame comments you like in general discussion! My analysis threads will be seperate, though.

looks nice

hey ..that artificial arm is better than the old one. I'm thinking of loosing one of mine also...

As you can all see, the new templates are in. Thgese are what new players will use in future. However, some of you may now adjust your template if you so wish, along the following lines:

Mah and Julie: May choose to be Scholars rather than Adventurers

Lance: May be an Athlete rather than a Swordsman

BB: May be a Vigilante rather than a Freelancer

Rex: May be a Brigand rather than a Corsair.

Marcus: Must choose whether to be a Venerable Master or a Tutelary

Gundy changes (in name only as it is the same thing) to a Venerable Master.

Dexx stays as an Orphan.

Ok, most of these changes are now complete. The more inquisitive of you will have noitced that I have greatly tidied the area, deleting redundant threads and consolidiating others into 'Gumf' threads by game, and putting all the old post-scripts together as well.

yup..i checked this RP area from one end to another

Trust, me you don't want a fake one. While I do have a concealed knife and blaster cannon and a spring-loaded place for my left lightsaber, Kuylen can turn it off at any time.

Okay, so I play in this one, right? Where do I sign up? What would my Force mastery be considered? And can I use two 'sabers?!?!

PS: LotR by Ush? Cool.

And I finally play a promising RPG!! No offense, REX.

why would he, rex?

you'll plug your character soon enough

Cause the other one died.

what?.....why would he turn his arm off, i mean

Yes, GK, you may play. Sign up by creating your character and posting the description on the profile thread, having looked at the available templates. And yes, you can use two sabres.

This thread is now ready to take descriptions of the people joining the game for 'Chase'

yeah..didn't realise my profile was THAt small...oh well.
oh..and my homeworld is not corellia, but i dunno what to put instead...something outside the republic...far away

Just delaying the start here for a day or two. Gundy has a small life crisis right now, it gives the new guys (Zink and Kaliero) a bit more time to get their characters in, and if I am going to post this comparitive abilities table for Dexx I'll need everyone to finish their template choice and advancment.

mwah....okay
*burns impaciently*

And I really must actually WRITE the Belseraphon part of it.

i take it it was unexpected...

Well, as you know, a lot of this is a game I have played through before. But we only had Dark Side players in the first episode, so for that part of the game I have been relying heavily on some rough notes my brother made for me. Indeed, Episode III was originally written with NO Dark Side component at all, and as it is it worked very well, if a little forced (worth it for the pod race). Likewise Episode IV.

But more to the point, the more you play, the more the story diverges from what I did. There was never any call to go to Belseraphon as I played it.

Actually, the Tartarus bit is a nightmare as well, as my friends who played that part fouled up totally and barely saw any of it before the bad guys there won.

(I was on Nar Shadda)

actually..i didn't

No? Oh, ok, a lot of them do.

Hmm, odd.

None taken, Dak.

I'll stick with Corsair.

I imagined so.

name: Bion "Wraith" Velcrose
saber: 5; black, red, dark purple, yellow, & orange
weapons: blaster pistol, sniper rifle
ship: modified THX light freighter; heavily modified 1138 Void podracer
age: 21
occupation: Kuylen's apprentice, bounty hunter

Bion was born on the world of Tejere. It was a planet of illegal gaming, from gladiatorial fights to "modified" podracing. His father, in need of money and having great dislike for his son, entered Bion in the gladiator arena. He won, and his father became a rich man. Bion gained a fearsome suit of armor. Then he moved into podracing, and came away victor of many Tejere Bloodshed Tournaments. His father gained more wealth, while Bion got to own his 1138 Void podracer, which he tinkered with a lot.

A Dark Jedi began doing business with Bion's father. The Dark Jedi told Bion he was Force sensitive. He was excited by this news. A few weeks later, his father finally revealed how much he hated his son, regardless of how much wealth he had gained from him. Bion killed his father by using the Force to choke him, a trick the Dark Jedi had taught him.

Bion began learning to use the Force from the Dark Jedi. He built his own lightsaber, with a black blade. He ended up killing his Master later. He left Tejere and roamed the galaxy with his dead father's wealth and his podracer in a THX freighter that he stole from his father's business. He finally found another Dark Jedi who taught him more in the Force, and then killed him. He did this with two more Dark Jedi, until he was very powerful. He also took up bounty hunting.

He then met Kuylen on a marshy world, hunting for him while taking up a bounty from a man named Cantor, another Marauder. He could not take down Kuylen or his followers, and instead joined him.

Bion, or "Wraith" as he's called by the others, has tan skin, black hair, and many scars from his time as a gladiator. He wears thick and spiny armor (a lot like Sauron's). He has 4 lightsabers from his past teachers and his own. While he only uses one at a time, he can sometimes fight with two sabers, though not as good at Galder.

His template is Executor, and he not only does things, he kills things.

5 sabers??

I take Tutelary

I'll switch to Vigilante.

Aurra Sing has 6...

maybe she changes them matching her clothing....the new groove
but having 5 sabers on you?
"ooh, ooh..what to pick"..or..can he fight with 2-3 sabers per hand?

Ok, I don't have details on how I met the rest of the Darkies, but I suppose Ush'll work that out.

Dak Kaliero, Corsair

Species: Arnian
Height: 5" 11 1/2'
Weight: 168 lbs.
Homeworld: Arnia
Eyes: black, orange iris and slit pupils
Lightsaber: white (2)
Alignment: Dark (Marauder)
Ship: Black Dawn, modified Z-25 Arnian Defense Force Glacier Glider
Droid: X-52495, an intelligent ASP
Other Equipment: gauntlet saber holders, Kerrobarr Tech repeater rifle, Bacta packs

Physical Description:
Strong and fast, I am an Arnian. Reptilian, with navy blue scales, short, sharp claws, and a powerful tail ending in a spike, I have a rather intimidating appearance. Which is just as well, because I like to intimidate others.
History:
I always had the potential to be a great Jedi, but the Dark Side found me first. A band of roving Dark Jedi came across me in their smuggling enterprises, and recognized my negligent Force ability. Taking me from my home and training me, they taught me the ways of the Dark Side, showing me true power. Power which betrayed them, for when I sensed my training was complete, I used the very techniques they taught me and killed them all.
Discovering at that time that one saber was too weak for me, I searched through the lightsaber crystals they were smuggling and found two white ones, with which I built two new sabers.
Not seeing any life ahead on this path, I turned to bounty hunting.
This worked out well, as my heightened animal senses gave me an edge over droid and human hunters, along with excellent saber skills and good ranged accuracy. It worked out well enough that it's still my job...

(P.S. If it's possible, Ush, I'd like to post in 1st person during the game.)

Ok. Thanks for the templates, Ush, I now have a worthy character. Who else is left, just Zink?

Thanks!

No problem, whatever you prefer. Exception is when I ask you questions, of course.

Nope, Zink is done. I'll kick off the new game later tonight.

now I aint the only one anymore

I shall stick with Swordsman

hey lance

Just Mah and Julie to go...

ill stick with adventuyrer

I think this happy bunch needs a scholar so I'll be a scholar....uh what does all that imply for my character?

Just a few number changes, from my end

oh ok.....so now what....where to....

Do your Advancment from the last story, in the advancment thread.

Here's my characters profile.

Allor Haukur, Executor

Species:Mauan(human with the abilities of a clawdite)

Height:6'4"

Weight:144 lbs.

Homeworld:Mau

Eye color:Royal Blue

Hair: two inches below shoulder, sort of wavy, brown

Lightsaber:Black (this is explained in the history)

Affiliate(sp?) Darkside

History: Allor is a dark jedi. She never knew her parents; she just thought they were dead. Her father was from the lightside, and her mother was from the darkside. Allor's father later bacame a dark Jedi, byt Allor's mother was killed when she gave birth to Allor. Allor's lightsaber color has bee questioned. The reason is Allor was born into the darkside. Se has never choson one or the other. since black is a nutral color, that's why her lightsaber is that color. Allor just basically goes on missions voluntarilly most of the times.

Black isn't really a neutral color, but no biggy.

And yes, you spelled affiliate right.

It's a great description, and as long as you've talked this over with Ush you'll most likely be playing soon.

My character.

Template: Brigand
Name: Toolok Rah
Age: 28
Species: Unknown humanoid
Homeworld: Nubia
Height: 2m
Weight: 92Kg
Eyes: Purple with no discernable pupils
Skin: Green with blue stripes
Ears: Pointy - very acute hearing
Hair: Black usually tied back
Physical Description: Strong, fast and very agile
History:
Found as a child in the wreckage of a star ship of unknown origin on the planet Rishi by a small band of Corellian smugglers and adopted/kept as a pet. My species (who ever they are) have 3 sets of vocal cords and can sing in quite a unique and amazing way. It was found that when I sing bizarre things would happen depending on my mood. This was picked up by a dark jedi who took me away from the smugglers and taught me how to use the emotions from my music to use the force, which ultimately has led me down the dark path.
I use a purple, duel bladed light sabre. I decided that I just had to get myself one after seeing my master cut down by a jedi using one. Following the death of my mentor I turned to mercenary work and bounty hunting.

Hurray, another Dark Jedi.

Have you gone over this with Ushgarak? If not, you need to contact him via PM.

Yes its all sorted. I'm new to this forum, been in touch with Ushgarak and I'll be in as soon as he can write me in!

Hurray!

Dude!!!

Name: Rowan Knight

Species:Alternated Human (Able to grow claws like Deathstrike)

Age: 21

Height: 6'2"

Weight:1 20 lbs.

Homeworld: Betazed(Orginally Earth)

Eye color: N/A (Can change from Silver to any color except Rainbow)

Hair: Shoulder Length Hair put into a pony tail, Silver

Lightsaber: Chages from Green to Orange to Blue to Silver

Affiliate(sp?): Jedi

History: Son of Betazoid counciler, Lawanda Knight (Age:51) and Jedi Master, Connor Winner Knight (Deceased). After his father died; Rowan and Lawanda travel to Betzed from Earth on U.S.S. Phoenix.

Earth isn't part of the Star Wars universe, just so you know. And the USS Phoenix sounds like a Star Trek thing...

BB's right, but Betazed could be from the Star Wars universe, and your humanoid species sounds cool.

If you have contacted Ush, he'll put you in sometime soon (or later). But, if you haven't contacted him, you'll need to to get into the game.

The only reason I put (Orginally Earth) is because Earth was destroyed.
And I put U.S.S. Phoenix is because their air crafts and shuttles were made like that.

Still, there was never an Earth in the Star Wars universe.

That`s why their isn`t a Earth.

Whatever, Betazed is your homeworld. It works.

Whoa there, Elmstreet, PLEASE contact me before posting a description in here!

Just working on getting the new guys in; a convenient plot point is sometimes hard to find.

Hey Ush, will I be able to join??? -ElmStreetFan01

Yup send me a PM about it.

Vincent Noa

Species: Human
Height: 6'2
Weight: 186 lbs.
Homeworld: Corucant
Eyes: Completely black with hazel pupils
Lightsaber: white (1 double sided)
Alignment: Light(Swordsman)
Other Equipment: Underwater breather, tracking beacon

Short Black hair. He wears a dark tunic and garb. He has a tribal tatoo over his right eye, a gift from his birth parents before he set out to be a jedi.
History:
A mostly silent jedi. He was born to spice miners who migrated from some outside the outter rim to corucant. He was born with the eyes of a miner and was identified as a jedi potential. after years at the academy he was adopted as a padawan where he honed his skills as a swordsman, possibly negelecting his force knowledge. still he shows a great deal of wisdom for such a young person. Now a jedi, He is a patient yet passionate jedi, and when he draws his sabre he holds little back.

Before you ask, Rex, yes he has... I shall try and get you into the game ASAP, Vincent- be patient!

I wasn't here to ask, but thanks for answering that. I'm just getting paranoid with all the people not reading anything and thinking they can join...

Glad to have you onboard, Vincent.

in case anyone was wondering. My characters full name is Kosta Quel Thaas

Cool.

Roan Trilanger
Species: Human
Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 165 lbs
Homeworld: Correlia
Eyes: light brown
Lightsaber: basic green single sided
Alignment: light
Background: Roan is a Corellian born Jedi, who wields a single green lightsaber. His father was a CorSec officer who briefly worked with Rostec Horn. It was Nejaa Halcyon who first discovered Roan and brought him to the Jedi Temple. Roan can be a light-hearted individual but if something goes wrong or upsets him he can become deathly serious very quickly.

I already asked permission.

Sky Ninabu
Species: Human
Homeworld: Naboo
Gender: Girl
Physical Description:
Very pretty and well formed. Her long blonde hair cut down to her fhigh and is always in a high ponytail. Small, thin golden loops for earrings go all the way to the top of her ear. Clear blue eyes. She wears a tight white shirt, with brown pants and black boots. She usually rolls the shirt up a bit as the show her bellybutton. Her saber is silver, ((like my name)) and one sided, though she somehow ends up with two sabers sometimes.
History: She lived on Naboo for a while before she was regonized for having Jedi capability's. She is an Adventurer herself. But she takes more pride in her Lightsaber close combat skills than her knowledge of the galawy. This is because her saber capability is that like a Swordsmen and she knows less than she would enjoy of the Galaxy. She is on the lightside.

mneh...too lazy to redo mine. Though the current one is as bad as it can be. Maybe ush should delete it.

I could rewrite it for ya. I have all weekend. I only revised mine cause it sounded kinda...lame. Come on, me being knocked over by a group of Rodians is pathetic...so that's gone.

Ok, I asked to be in the game, and Sorry again Ush for joining so late. Heres the character:

Name: Xornon Jay (who would have guessed)
Species: Human
Height: 6'2
Weight: 210
HomeWorld: Coruscant
Hair&Eyes: Steel blue eyes, blonde, shoulder length hair, pulled into a pony tail most of the time (gets in the way of the fight)
Sabers: (2) One red, with three sharpened spikes on the blade end; one green, Qui Gon Jin style
Alignment:BlackGuard
Other Weapons: BlasTech DL-18 aka: Mos Eisley Special" in a shoulder holster, and a DL-44 heavy blaster (made famous by Han Solo) on my hip.
Backgroud/Apperance:
As a boy, was missed by the Consil. From walking age i grew up in the lower level bars and cantina's. B/c of my drinking, I worked up a very strange immunity to alcohol, making it impossible to get drunk. During my time in the bars, I was found by a Dark Jedi, and taught in the Dark Ways. As soon as I got my first Lightsaber, I fell in love, if you will. I wouldn't go anywhere without it. The first time I murdered someone, I loved the power that I felt. I trained agressively with my saber untill I was the best I could be with the master I had. I killed my master, taking his red, spiked saber (the one i have now) which i had been envying, and went out to better myself.
During a trip to a bar, I was involved in a fight, and was cut with a vibro blade on the face, leaving a scar running from the left side of my chin up to the right side of my fore head. It just barely missed my eye.

PS: I would like to talk in 1st person if I even get to play. Sry again that I joined so late.

well...i think i'll try to make it when i have the time....surely i can come up with something

Can I just clear up something with you, Xornon? You say you are a Blackguard, but your description has you found and trained by Dark Siders, specifically saying you were missed by the Council. That would make you a Marauder and therefore a Corsair rather than a Blackguard- is that ok?

my mistake yeah thats cool but what are my skills, just good at everything sorta deal?

You are like REX, but not as experienced, since you are new.

Corsairs are not unskilled but they lack diversity- you are good at many forms of combat, threatening, maybe a bit of breaking and entering, but nothing like the broad range of a Fallen or Executor. You are also not noted for any social skills other than that threatening (a Fallen or Executor can lie with class).

interesting the dark side is

Indeed. I would know...

hmmm then can i change form that to Fallen? Heres my new background if i can.

As a child, I was trained in the Temple, and was thought to be one of the top students. I was everything that a Jedi Master would want. As a student, I would take frequent visits to the lower levels and drink (and hence the tolerance to alcohol). I loved going to the sub levels, and partisapating in any of the fighting or excitment going on. I loved the thrill. One day, on a random visit to the lower levels, i got into a fight (enter the scar). When the teachers found out about my visits, needless to say, I was screwed. They kicked me out of the Temple just before the next Knight was suppose to come to the Temple. Filled with anger at my loss, and unfair judgement, I slowly turned to the dark side.

sry for the sudden change if it messes stuff up to bad then forget it

No problem at all, I'll just alter the descriptions thread, and I shall get you into the game by the end of the day!

good

Fine, don't be a Corsair.

well atleast he was intelligent enoug to make a good choice

Every choice in the Dark-Side is a good choice.

nah it aint, that's just what ush wants you to think

http://a.domaindlx.com/Dakaliero/Daksith.jpg

Quick B & W pic of me... A bit rushed, and the cloak restricts the amount of creativity, but looking at it, I REALLY like the left hand and 'sabre...

Wow, good job, Dak! *claps*

I wish I had a scanner, then I could show you my artistic works. *frowns*

Nice sabres general, nice drawing all the way too

Good drawing, though it looks kinda anime-ish.

The sabers that REX drew for your character are much better...

yea it's the fault of the eye

BB, funny you should say that, that's pretty much all I can draw now...

I used to be able to draw western style, but I started drawing manga-ish pics, and my style warped...

Go here for a lot more original art by me, if you want.

(This thread is being superseded soon, guys- you will find it in the 'Chase' gumf archive)

Gumf is a funny word...much like shnoops or garfunklers...

Yup! That is why I like it.,

I like the way you've put up the new character profiles thing! Very interesting, to be sure.

I remember REX telling me that Dim was once in the RPG. Did she ever put up a profile?

Yes... try looking at the gumf for Avalar.

Found it! Short, sweet, and to the point.
