Anarchist character

[Ten10dix]

With the approach of the time skip and, of course, the Sith Imperium becoming the dominant faction, I was thinking of creating an anarchist character, someone who would fight to take down the Imperium (obviously) but with a twist. He would regard all Force Users as corrupt and unfit to rule, but he would also be fighting to give power back to the people completely.

In essence, I was thinking of introducing Communism to Staf Wars.

I've been studying and reading up on Lenin and the Russian Revolutions, and while I may or may not agree with them, I do believe that it would a pretty cool story. My character would probably join the Civilian Resistance and I'm hoping from their he'll gain popular support for his views and create a sort of gathering of like minded people. I don't plan on creating a new state or government (not only because I doubt I'd be allowed, but also because that would be something done in the aftermath of the Imperium's defeat, which is also where the time line is cut off from my understanding) but could possibly, with enough support, split off to form an independent resistance or something. Maybe even not start off in the Rebellion but eventually join it out of necessity or something?

I'm just posting this here before I create the character because I want feedback. Am I being too ambitious? And would anyone be interested in joining in? Or am I just being silly? It does seem like a difficult task, but I think it'd be interesting and give a fresh point of view from the old "Empire/Republic" stuff. Please speak your mind, I have been known of being too "big" when it comes to story and stuff.

I would be interested in joining in. As for a little something on that character, a Trandoshan is what he should be. Trandoshans do not support anyone and are strictly anarchist, since they don't listen to anyone, except the guy who pays.

I don't really like having alien characters, not because I'm racist or anything (xD) but because I know humans and how they work/react than I would aliens. I also prefer males, for some reason. I guess I'm just really old fashioned or something lol.

Edit: Wow, that sounds sexist of me. Sorry lol, it seems I'm just digging myself a hole xD.

I was planning on him being either human or near human, and of him wanting to do this not because he is "just like that" but because he truly believes it is what is best for the Galaxy as a whole, much like Lenin did when he wanted a world wide revolution. That is, if this idea is accepted and has enough support.

 

[Sophia McLaren-Cobb]

In that case, I am still interested in helping you.

 

[Ten10dix]

Oh, of course. I have no problems with that xD.

I'll just see what others think before I start rushing off to do things. I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything silly xD.

So you want Joe Kucan from Command Conquer fame then :P

I don't about joining, but I think this would be a really fun group/character to interact with.

 

[Ten10dix]

I have never played Command Conquer, but he kinda looks like the guy I was imagining.

I intend him to be fun to interact with, especially for the Jedi. The Sith and Imperial Knights would probably dismiss his claims, but a Jedi may think "This guy has kinda got a point". Hopefully, anyway xD.

You do realize this isn't really true? Trandoshan's are driven by honour and have a hierarchical systems, they almost exclusively do their work to bring honour to themselves in order to gain respect in the eyes of their community.

As for the subject of the main thread, I definitely think the character himself is cool, and I'd like to RP some time, but I would definitely wait it out on the faction to see if you get a good ole' following first! :P

 

[Jax Vos]

Before I say anything else, what you're saying here is that this character is against Force-sensitives ruling over others, correct?

If that is what you're saying, I might consider joining you with my Jedi, Kaeri Vanay.

 

[Wolf231]

I don't understand why the word Anarchist is in this <.<. No offense, but Communists weren't Anarchists...

 

[Galavant]

They aren't mutual exclusive concepts, although I think a comparison from the Spanish Civil War might be more apt in that case as opposed to Lenin. It seems like the Rebel Forces are actually a lot like the Republican's in the Spanish Civil War, with a lot of different factions making up the whole.

Edit: Not trying to speak for what Ten10 has in mind, just my thoughts.

 

[Vulpes]

Just be sure you're using the right term here, if you're going for a Communist thing, Anarchist problem isn't the right word to use. That implies they want a stateless society, and Communism is actually pretty close to the opposite.

 

[Bubák]

I thought the Empire already was communist.

 

[Defiance]

Vulpes is right. Anarchist and communist are too different things, with anarchy being no law and communism oppressive law.

Though both are very underused ideas that could develop the SWRP's dynamic, replacing the monotonous Jedi|Sith perspective with a different, more interesting one.

 

[Bubák]

He probably meant anarchist in a way the character will be fighting against the Imperial regime and try to establish communism, which he sees through pink glasses. Though once that happens, there will be little to no difference.

 

[Ten10dix]

Sorry for the confusion, I'm not that into politics and am currently trying to research ideas to form my Character's own mindset.

As for his policy towards Force Users: He definitely hates any Force Users who would have any authority over others. Force Users who share his views and would prefer a Galaxy with no Force User based governments would be acceptable to him.

I can kind of compare it to Religion: He wishes to separate the Force from the State, he is not against Force Users running around on a planet and continuing their existence in relative peace, but he wouldn't want any of them causing any trouble or shouting out their views to the world, or doing anything like that.

While that may be a part of his view, his main one is the fight against the rich and greedy, the "upper class", as you could expect. He wants to rid the Galaxy of the upper class and give power to the people. You may think this would make him a good guy, but it doesn't, not really. He will be without mercy and very ruthless.

This is all very basic work, I will explain this in a lot more detail (I hope) and will create the character soon, and post him post skip. This is just to see if anyone is interested in the idea, because if not he'd just be someone shouting around with no one taking notice xD.

 

[Wolf231]

I thought the Empire already was communist.

It's not. It has a heirarchy based almost solely in power that clearly puts everyone into tiers. True Communism is everyone being equal.




Also, if be rather interested to get in on this as a Rasputin-like character, if you need a 'mystic who understands the Force but doesn't follow it's teachings, instead using that knowledge to further their own political power...? :p.

Seriously, Rasputin is the shi-. Let me know. ;).

 

[Ten10dix]

You mean an expert on the Force but who isn't a Force User/doesn't use it? Sure, that'd make sense, though only if he keeps his views on "political power" to himself, as the whole point of this is to return power to the people.

Since no major criticism has been thrown at this idea, I'll start making the character. As he will be a post skip one, I won't be able to post him right now.

 

[Bubák]

Like a true communism could ever exist :D
It's definitely socialist, though.

 

[Jax Vos]

The Imperium is hardly socialist. Socialism is basically the upper class controlling the lower classes by telling them that they are just like the upper class without as much money and/or power.

Edit: @Ten10: thanks for explaining how he feels about Force-sensitives. I am greatly considering it now.
