That's a terrible response. You mean to tell me you've asked every single active member of the forum for a RP and all of them rejected your request? Try again, this time don't just ask folks with Jedi; ask individuals with a character. This includes the new members too. You'd be surprised at the responses, I guarantee you.
My thoughts were more along the lines of potential story arc for him. Not necessarily Jedi related though. In fact, I thought you've done a terrible deed by not capitalizing on his seemingly unconventional Jedi ways. Case in point- post time skip could be something along the lines of him leaving the order and perhaps how he deals with the IC'ly acceptance of the Jedi ways or lack thereof. He could even be developed to either amend his thinking about the Jedi Way and completely accept the atypical Jedi Way OR turn to join the Sith, thus coming full circle with his lack of adherence to the Jedi Ways from the beginning.
Insofar as your OOC'ly reason, everyone has to start from somewhere. Pick the best writer you've come across in life, and I grantee you that individual had a shitty beginning, but pressed on and got better with time.
At any rate, you gave a compelling reason why you had him archived so I won't press the issue. :)
sure.....don't be overpowering. Remember your character is not a God so he will make mistakes and can be knocked back. Also, strike often but remain on the defesne in the beginning
