"For it is written, the Ophuchi shall inherit the desert."
Some of you may remember that as the fourth timeline was starting to wind down, I mentioned that Santoro and I had talked about my independent faction, the Ophuchi Clan, leading an overthrow of the Hutt forces on Tatooine, which would make Tatooine an independent world. We never got around to that given how busy the end of the timeline was, but now that we have some time I would like to actually do this.
Along with Santoro, who would lead the Hutt side, I as the Ophuchi leader would like to put together a series of Diverse RPs about the lead up to the liberation of Tatooine, the liberation itself, and the aftermath of the liberation. I will be using my Ophuchi character, Elias, and anyone else who had an Ophuchi character is free to use theirs for this. Those who wish to make an Ophuchi character for it are also welcome to.
In addition to the Ophuchi will be citizens of Tatooine who decide to rebel against their Hutt masters, as well as characters for the Hutt forces themselves. The Ophuchi side will consist of the Clan members and the citizen rebels. The Hutt side, led by Santoro, will consist of the Hutt military forces on the planet as well as any Hutt-supporting civilians.
You can RP any of these types of characters: Ophuchi, citizen rebels, Hutt military, or Hutt-supporting citizens.
The Hutt forces won’t be all that numerous, since the Second Hutt War is still going on during this time (it’s very soon after the timeline itself ended, and the war is still ongoing), so they won’t devote all that many resources to saving a worthless ball of sand.
It’s fair to say that the ending of this is more or less planned, as the Ophuchi and the rebels will kick the Hutts off of the planet, Tatooine will become independent, and the planet will be forgotten by the galaxy for thousands of years, but how we get to that point is entirely up to what happens in the RP.
Here’s a very vague preview:
Tatooine. The Hutts call it a worthless ball of sand. Prophecy calls it the Land of the Twin Suns. Everyone else calls it Hell. But in the midst of all the suffering that runs rampant in the desert wastes, hope has never actually died.
Deep in the world’s Dune Sea lives a newly formed band of desert hermits calling themselves the Ophuchi Clan. Brought together by a holy man during the Second Cold War, the Ophuchi guard ancient and mystical secrets that would shake the very foundations of the galaxy—all while making the first preparations for a galactic savior who will not be born for nearly thirteen millennia.
In the settlements that surround the Dune Sea live an impoverished people yearning for a time when they can be free from the oppression of the despotic Hutt Empire, under the iron-fisted rule of Emperor Tusa Ujalli Hai. With the leadership and guidance of the Ophuchi, these desert people will jumpstart a rebellion and launch one of the smallest yet most pivotal battles of the Great Hutt Wars, creating a legacy that will last for all eternity.
I’m not giving out much more information beyond that just yet, only because it hasn’t been fully developed. I know some basics, because I want this to parallel what I’m writing in my fan fic novel The Chosen One that the Ophuchi are a part of.
For now, this is a general interest thread. If you’re interested in participating, post here saying so, including what type of character you would like to RP. Thanks!
