Dawn of the Republic: Jedi Knights

@Auron Est'Kanta @amerininja I'm liking both of these myself, at a glance. I'm liking pretty much everyone's character so far, tbh.

Marcus · Jan 4, 2016

And actually, I'm going to 180 myself and make this suggestion. To keep it light-weight and fun, I'd be happy adding a fun 2-3 word title to each person's char in the OP? Like for instance, if Tsunami really wants to, we could put "Jedi Watchman" as his descriptor title. Or I might put "Sensor Array" for Marcus. heh Any thoughts, in order to keep things lighter and keep my grumpiness in check?

Hype train has no brakes, I like that. lol

I'm not trying to make any solid claims. The whole Council thing was just like.. if someone does a non-PvP mission and they finish off their thread saying 'I send my report to the Jedi Council', if they know they really aren't going to get a response then I don't see the big deal in a message being sent to NPCs that aren't going to be played. :D

And I'm totally down for getting the goofiness out of the system before it's time to start submitting those final drafts. Now's a good time for people to give that kind of feedback and be like... yeah that's way to weird/goofy.

I don't think you're being grumpy, Marcus, maybe being more serious than some. That's all. Here's a thought for you. If you've got concerns about people being uninformed, link the important posts that'd be needed to make a Jedi character in the lead post of the thread and add them as they come out. :)

Marcus · Jan 4, 2016

That's a good thought, like the council bit from Bac. And to that point, we Jedi would submit our reports to the Generals and FLs at a guess. They are our "direct supervisors".

CJ Solo · Jan 4, 2016

Jedi paperwork in triplicate :D

Wit · Jan 4, 2016

What council bit from Bac?

I'm going to have my character be a really new Jedi Knight, as in she pretty much just got promoted. She's almost a sort of "artsy" Jedi who really likes to be creative and do things her own way, but she's not rebellious. She believes in the Jedi Order but is a very independent thinker.

I'm thinking she could take on a Padawan, that would be an interesting challenge for her. So, if you think you might be interested in having your character be her Padawan, we should talk!

When I put up my workshop to the character profile, I'll post a link here.

Have you found a padawan yet? I'm a bit of a noob here but I really enjoyed reading up on your character.

My understanding is that the council would be "consulted" by the FLs (whatever their title is) and that's basically it. The council doesn't exist for RP, rather we go to the Generals who go to the FLs. See here: http://www.thestarwarsrp.com/forum/...wn-of-the-republic.62721/page-12#post-1209221

Nope! I'm still looking for one. And that's totally okay that you're a noob- a Master/Padawan relationship is a great way to teach you how to use this site. ^.^

Oreus · Jan 4, 2016

For the OP: Kwanli - Ancient Jedi Knight

Also willing to take a padawan... PM me.

Elijah Brockway · Jan 4, 2016

So I've finally made most of a character. I'll fill out the rest of his possessions later. His biography is something I'll fully write up once all the timeline info is released.

"Shield yourself from those not bound to you by the Light, for they are the blind. Aid them when you can, but lose not sight of yourself." - William Drake

William Drake is noted for his stubborn adherence, if not zealotry, to the ideal that the duty of warriors of the Light is to combat the minions of the Dark, that a true Jedi should strive to protect the weak by first-and-foremost eliminating the Sith that seek to enslave the galaxy. This must surely be the will of the Light and the purpose behind each Jedi's call to power.[/fancybox4]

Gear

[fancybox2]

William's inherited suit of armor has been passed down the Drake line for generations, each previous owner gifting it to his son when he was deemed worth of wearing it. The Drake family warriors have taken up the symbol of a dragon to be something of a family crest, and have worn its image on their armor long before this suit.

Like most modern suits of combat armor, the Drake family suit is comprised of several layers. The first layer is a simple rubberized body glove, which is mildly electrically and thermally resistive, but its primary role is simply as a foundation for the outer layers. Next, a layer of ballistic mesh is layered over the body glove to increase protection against shrapnel, knives, and small projectiles. A second layer of this material is then added over all areas not to be protected by plates. Lastly, numerous different durasteel armor plates are layered as shown, protecting the chest, arms, lower legs, outer thighs and hands. An optional helmet provides resistance against moderate head trauma and can filter out hazardous airborne material for a short time. A small personal shield generator is housed within the back plate of the armor, providing mild protection against energy weapons before needing several seconds to recharge.

William's lightsaber is built with a solid, two-handed grip in mind, with a hilt that is is slightly longer than standard for Jedi Knights. The saber also incorporates a crossguard of phrik, extending roughly six inches from the hilt in either direction. The blade of the saber burns a fierce gold. A multi-phase emitter allows William to adjust between blade lengths of approximately three to six feet.

Description

[fancybox2]William Drake is a notably physically imposing man, standing well over six feet tall and weighing in at about 225 pounds of muscle. This great stature and strength are the core elements of his Djem So combat style. Natural bulk, heavy armor and sheer willpower also allow William to take massive amounts of punishment before succumbing to his injuries. His size and strength aren't without their drawbacks however, as the sheer bulk of both his armor and own body limit William's speed.

As a self described man of the sword, not the book, William's mental attributes are average at best, with only the most basic of a formal education. Still, he possesses a sort of cunning on the battlefield, the type common among those warriors who live longer than luck alone could allow. In a conversation, he is rather short and direct in a sort of cold manner. What words he does speak are clearly said, backed by a voice that drips with unshakable conviction, regardless of the situation.

William knows how to utilize relatively few Force abilities, but his sheer willpower makes the effect of these few abilities surprisingly powerful, although they lack focus. He has displayed the ability to create pockets of compressed air that rapidly expand to violently push anything in their path, as well as increase his strength and speed for a short time. [/fancybox2]

Got a decent bit down for the more crusader of the two Jedi I'll be playing come DotR, he's not complete yet, but the ideas and structure are all mostly there.

I'd love to hear any comments or criticisms on what's there before I move forward.

Vayate Merrick · Jan 4, 2016

Loving that heavy armored tank you call a Jedi! @Saul Perth

Aurius · Jan 5, 2016

@Marcus was wondering whether you had any more space on your roster for a hopeful/padawan. This is an interesting Jedi profile I made, and since I have no idea how to actually officially join the Jedi, figured I'd ask OOC

More than happy to, done!

Also, not "my" thread (although I take your meaning). While I've been quite vocal in this thread, this is the shared resource of all interested Jedi in the DotR TL. :)

AuroraRogersSkywalker · Jan 5, 2016

While we're updating the roster, @Marcus would you please use my workshop for my character instead of the profile I have for the current timeline? Thanks

Oh hey, about that, while I didn't immediately specify in my post where I linked the profile a while back, my character's name is Sihkar Tarei and I'm making him as a Knight. Consider that specified.

Sreeya · Jan 5, 2016

I ain't about to read 16 pages worth of stuff. BUT, is anyone planning on writing a padawan level character?

If you read the original post at the bottom in the spoiler is a list. Some padawabs are listed in there. Quite a few actually!
