What Lightsaber style best fits Wookies?

[tigerman4527]

Since my Bounty Hunter doesn't seem to be doing me too well in the way of RP, I thought I'd make myself a second character. I was thinking force user, and I figured, why not a Wookie? They're my favorite species in Starwars, and I think they'd make great Lightsaber combatants since they're so strong and fuzzy

But I can't decide on what kind of Lightsaber style he would use!

Any suggestions anyone?

The "Slice-The-Hell-Out-Of-The-Furless-Enemy" style. Very effective when utilized by strong characters, such as Wookiees.

Look up Djem So or Juyo, I would assume those to be best compliments of a wookiee's strength.

Also this thread better belongs in the RP Help section, for future reference ;)

Djem/So would be my vote.

My Sith Wookiee uses Djem So. Really either that or Juyo, since a wookiee isn't going to tire quickly or find strength-based attacks an obstacle.

Djem So, easy :)

What do you guys think about Jar'Kai or Sokan? I know they aren't canon, but relentless assault and use of the environment sounds very Wookie to me.

 

[Jax Vos]

Jar'Kai, at this time, is the term used for duel wielding. Any form can use Jar'Kai. Sokan can be used by any form as well.

 

[Kiro]

Well, Wookiees do tend to duel-wield Ryyk blades, so Jar'kai would likely be rather instinctive to a Wookiee, I'd assume, as much as I dislike the style.

V: Djem So I'd say. Though Form I: Shii-Cho may be good as well, as it is described in the hands of a skilled user as "Like water flowing over a water fall." since it is powerful and unpredictable.

EDIT: Sokan is described as a principle rather than a Form.

...Erythros. Combination of all the strong, power-oriented forms.

 

[Padmé]

In the grand scheme of the RP it all really boils down to how well you write the attack/block. The combat form, imo, is simply flavor to the story/rp.


Also moved to RP Help Board.

Which is why I think it is important to study these forms as a writer and a player, truly in depth, before we ever can have a character that is skilled or masterful of a form or martial art.

 

[Sisk_Renelo]

I'm a fan of Makashi. But that's only because I actually used to swordfight, and it fits the rapier/main gauche style the best. Jar'kai is good, but it doesn't really fit the way I fight. To flashy with to many unnecessary movements.

 

[The Kyzer]

...Erythros. Combination of all the strong, power-oriented forms.

Or just combine Erythos' general style with Form V or VII. It's a viable option since the three NJO Styles can be used alone or applied to a Form.

Jar'kai really isn't as good as it might sound. Power attacks with only one hand are just asking to be short-blocked.

I would also put in the option of Niman, Form VI.

A Wookiee performing Form III: Soresu would just be ridiculously tanky. You'd just lack offense. But I'd go with Jar'kai/Djem Sho.
