Creating a Jedi, but looking to include other characters in backstory

[Horizon]

As the title suggests, I'm creating a Jedi. Probably a knight or even a master depending on how things go. The last time I wrote a character that included already written and established characters by other members, the results were great. I stayed involved in other roleplay threads much longer due to the connection of others. So if you have a Jedi character that you'd like to offer up, please say so.

The details of them being included will be that of a mission on the war front against the Sith. Specifically resulting in failure. This means your Jedi will be a survivor of a battle that ended with the Jedi losing. However you want to decide how you escaped is up to you and etc.

 

[Gaiaverse]

The war has just started and I don't think you can just offscreen an entire war front. Just wanted to let you know.

But I'm open to offering up my character. I'd be more then eager to figure out something. Her name is Emilgotha.

I think you misunderstood what I was suggesting. It'd be a smaller conflict. Those happen all the time.

Essentially my character is going to get his shit handed to him. Held down by a couple sith warriors and beaten to a pulp. His arm will be severed and part of his face will need to be rebuilt with cybernetics and all that jazz.

Still it will need to be worked over with both leaderships and the admins.

I also have an Antarian Ranger named Jontos, who's technically apart of the Jedi faction.

If you could bring an admin type in here and address, that'd be fine. But I've been writing here a while and if you don't bring someone's character into the mix that you didn't ask for, then you should be fine. Little things for backstory never hurt anyone and it's purely for story telling.

Oh I understand what your saying. But still, better safe then sorry.

Uh....@GABA GABA HEY @Elijah Brockway and @Black Noise (I hate Phoenix's name and Black Noise is the most senior AFL from what I understand).

I mean the Jedi lost the battle of Felucia. That could be used no problem. This really doesn't need admin approval or FL approval. Since they're developing backstory between characters.

You only need approval when your background is involving NPCs of either faction.

 

[Elijah Brockway]

Personally I don't really want to go with something like that, because that would require running around and changing up other characters' backstories or what-not, especially since this war only just started rather recently IC. Just focus on the fact that you were a Jedi and that you'd know other Jedi due to possibly having grown up with them, having decided to join this whole proactive, army-ish aspect of the Jedi order that we're playing as this timeline, and if you want to keep the Sith involved in your backstory in some random way, just make sure you get it approved by @Phœnix or any of his AFLs.

EDIT: Or what Megilwen said. Battle of Felucia would totally work out for that, I just didn't think about it. Rofl.

 

[Gaiaverse]

Wasn't Felucia more of a stalemate then a loss? From what I understand nothing bad nor good happened.

Horizon seems to be going for a horrible failure. Felucia (Which wasn't really a battle, more small teams fighting eachother) probably wouldn't fit that.

 

[Elijah Brockway]

Technically a loss for us. Basically a tie in terms of what actually happened in the battle threads, but since the Sith held position and Jedi didn't break through their defenses and take the place, it qualified as a win for them.

Yeah, but it was more small teams fighting eachother. It wasn't really a battle and probably wouldn't fit into Horizon what wants (Which seems to be a horrible failure).

 

[Lucy Lou]

There were three main battles that decided the fight. But that doesn't mean there were more fights going on across the battle of the entire planet involving "NPC armies"

You're the best.

That's how these generally are, leading onto Meg's thing -

That's how it works this timeline. The way the small battles that are actually threads with people in them work out determines how the battle overall works out, planet-wide and all that. Because otherwise we're not doing the big whole fleet combat and armies and all that BS.

 

[Lucy Lou]

Yeah it's not RP'd out, but it's implied that there's actually a WAR going on, not like 12 people only fighting c:

I know.

But the writing in the Felucia threads, if I remember correctly, pretty much make it clear that those three threads were the only fighting going on. Otherwise the Jedi would've sent out more then one shuttle (and the dogfight would probably not just be about projecting one ship. I imagine). Besides, were did the Jedi get an army large enough to invade (As Jedi and the Rangers don't have the numbers to do it by themselves) and why wasn't such a major defeat talked about?

That's why I'm saying Felucia makes no sense. The way it went makes no sense for an invasion that will have to be shoehorned in.

 

[Lucy Lou]

No?

Those are the single threads that decide the battle. But in a dogfight, there are more ships fighting around them. Not just four ships in the air. There are more Jedi than just the PCs. There is a literal jedi ARMY. You can't say there's only the 12 PCs only. That's just... not a war.

 

[Elijah Brockway]

...Given that the Jedi are theoretically rather big, and we have NPCs available to us that just aren't mentioned (specifically our jedi army bit), and given that I was in one of those battles and you're completely misrepresenting how that writing worked out at all...

yer wrong mate

Again, the whole way the battles work this timeline is that the few battles we see, how they go determines how the rest of the battles go overall. Same with Felucia as with Telos as with anywhere else. There's nothing different there. You're just wrong. =P

 

[Gaiaverse]

Were have I said they don't? Sorry if I seem pissy, I just hate it when people try to make it seem I'm saying something I'm not and then act smug about it.

Meg-There were five/four fighters. That's not an invasion, that's a patrol. Let alone the two sith fighters that responded and nothing else.

Eli-I just skimmed the thread you in and it states that the Jedi yacht and it's two escorts were going to two places. I'm also see nothing to indicate there are NPC forces landing.

Again it just seems shoehorned in. Frankly I would think some sort of secret or maybe proxy conflict would make more sense. Or prepares an attempted invasion after it. But using the main battle threads of Felucia just seems....dumb.

 

[Gaiaverse]

Also if I seemed pissed, it not because of what were talking about. It's because of the fact it seems (to me) that you two are saying I don't understand how battles work (Which I do and I don't think I've said anything towards the contrary) and seem smug about it.

That is one the few things that makes me actually pissed. I'm as socially inept as it is, so I don't like it when people act like I'm saying something I'm not. When I feels it clear what I was saying.
