Nice Gray Jedi order After get my charater storyline moving in the NTL I problay turn him into a Gray jedi or jedi that becomes a gray jedi one of the two depends on how his story goes.
I don't see these new force rules as any kind of hinderance. I for one never thought of this as an excuse to have Vit'al zipping about throwing force lightning one moment and then healing everyone the next. That is ludicrous on a very common sense level. Balance is not achieved by sprinting from one side of a see saw to the other. It is alway by sitting in the center. There are plenty of "force powers" (I hate that label anyway) that are neither light nor dark. In fact I would argue the most frequently used ones almost all are. I was under the impression the Fulcrum heavily discourages manipulation of another sentients mind, prophecy, corruption... all of these disrupt true balance. These new rules only serve us better, and force us to write more creativiley! Win Win Win baby.
That is unless the Fulcrum does counsel mild use of the Dark Side in the removal of infantile labels such as Light and Dark as just "The Force" as not a two-sided coin but one amalgamation of fluid singularity. But then that belief would betray the mindset that protests the Jedi's believed severity in the Origin of the Gray Jedi in the OP I think.
Took me a minute to make figure out your meaning, but yeah that one. The force does not have sides.
Jedi wiping out a settlement because there is a minor dark side corruption? The goal is to cripple the sith, not serve the force, pretty cut and dry. We also focus on containing and destroying force relics/artifacts, as they are all pretty huge corruptions of the force, or at least lead to pretty heafty corruption of the force by allowing someone to weild them.
To clarify, I'm speaking to these points. If the Fulcrum protests the Jedi's wiping out a settlement because there is even just a hint of dark side corruption, believing the Jedi themselves are in essence corrupted or equally perilous to said corruption - why would those Fulcrum Jedi believe in tenets that permit or even encourage use of dark side energies (even if they call it something different it's still the same thing according to new admin rules) that would corrupt Fulcrum users into exhibiting the very same dark behaviors. It's contradicting.
To paraphrase something I think Green Ranger said, to think oneself impervious to the "taint" that is the dark side's corruption is to invite certain corruption. You can't escape it. And to pretend it won't get you is foolish. The Fulcrum (if I'm understanding the Fulcrum's philosophy correctly) believes there is no dark side, only the Force, and therefore dabble in powers that would otherwise be deemed of the dark side. Thus the conundrum.
I get that you're saying the Fulcrum Jedi would be more relaxed in a sense and less aggressive, perhaps almost counseling a detached mentality from the Force altogether; which would lead to a Gray Jedi group who use the Force less than either the Jedi or the Sith. But a philosophy based on contradiction merits potential alteration. And that's all I'm sayin brotha ;)
It would seem to me that the implication of the word "gray" would then not apply to the Fulcrum if they didn't use any dark side powers and would force the Fulcrum to be more of a detached and pure group for the philosophy to be sound. That or the Fulcrum would not protest the Jedi massacre for the reasons they do. It just seems like the Fulcrum, under the guide of the new established swrp canon concept of the Force, would be less unique in it's own identity separate from the Jedi Order and it's own internal variations that are bound to already exist. Tho I could just be really nitpicking here...lol
First of all it's Fulcrum not Fulcrum Jedi. The two together are very aggravating and contradict the purpose of The Fulcrum. Second being gray would be more of a philosophical position that states that use of either is corruptible and therefore one should strive to only use powers that are not limited by sides. Basic powers would pretty much be the only thing available to this group. And I can't even go into how off you are in some statements (though that may be due to how tired I am right now).
