I've been throwing this idea around for some time now and would like an idea, thought or opinion if possible. I was thinking and eventually came up with a custom faction that can change the power dynamic.
The Faction will be called the Templar Order. Perhaps, I've been throwing some names around to see what fits and so on. If anyone has any ideas, please, relay them to me. They could also be called the Knights of [Home Planet Here].
The Templar Order will be Jedi/(Sith: Maybe) that revere the Force in a much different way then the Jedi or Sith. Whereas the Jedi see the Force as a gift and the Sith see it as a tool, the Templars see the Force as a powerful being that watches over the Universe. A Deity if you would.
Yes, there are several Jedi that feel this way already, I'm sure. Canon-Wise, there were quite a few that felt this way as well. The Templars are similar, but instead of using it as a gift, they literally worship the Force. They feel that a connection to the Deity is required and that further worship and praying is required to strengthen the Bond.
The Templar Order will have a Rank system much like the other Orders. It goes as the following:
Squires: Squires are trainees that have been taken by a Knight and are currently being trained. They have a slight connection to the Unifying Force and are being trained to use it.
Knights: Much like Jedi Knights, the Templar Knights are those that have passed their Squire training and are now Knights. They can train a Squire or two and have access to various abilities. The Knights can only access the next rank by training a Squire.
Chaplains: The Chaplains are equivalent to Masters and Lords. Having trained a Squire completely, the Chaplains have access to incredible power and have a strong connection to the Force. Chaplains are also required to tend to the Spiritual needs of the Force.
Grandmaster: There is only one Grandmaster of the Order and he controls the Order through the use of his Chaplains. However, he is not a Lord or King, only a strong member of the Chaplain order. Grandmasters are voted by the Chaplains.
I'm not exactly sure where the Templars would actually start planet-wise. They obviously would not have a lot of wealth, for obvious reasons. I'm currently writing up a character that will eventually create the Templars, if he and the faction is approved.
The Templars also do not believe in Midi-Cholorians or the Light Side/Dark Side. They believe that through patient worshiping and revere for the Force, you can be granted many powers and abilities.
I do not currently have any idea on what powers the Templars will have and currently am not worrying about it. I will speak with a Mod about this much later. The Templars will have a blend of Sith/Jedi powers from what I'm guessing/thinking.
And that's it thus far. Anyone interested? If I get enough people to give some interest, I will start writing up the stuff needed to do start the Application Process. I have a few more ideas, but would love some opinion/thoughts on it, even negative ones.
Thanks:D
