"May the Force be with you."
I considered being a casual fan. Then I decided against that.
To be clear though, I do not know much about the "Old Republic". My knowledge is best in the realm of everything from the prequels and on, and at that, most of it is "canon" knowledge. My Expanded Universe knowledge is limited to the books: The Jedi Guide, The Sith Guide, the Imperial Handbook, The Bounty Hunter's Guide, and Darth Plagueis. However, I am willing to do some research, I just don't want to play in the "Old Republic". I have read some of the "canon" books, the Aftermath series, Bloodlines, and Tarkin, for example.
I mostly want to play in The Force Awakens timeline, and I have a few different character ideas for it, which are indicated below. The story would take place after The Force Awakens, while the First Order is rebuilding itself after its devastating loss. I'd love to play across from either General Armitage Hux, Poe Dameron, Kylo Ren, or Finn!
I imagine that the Knights of Ren are a group of Force-sensitives under Kylo Ren, as a side note. I also love doubling up. I'm pretty okay playing most any character, as well!
I also have a renewed interest in playing in the Original Timeline, and particularly across from a young Amilyn Holdo, or an OC Imperial, probably - we can talk that out. I'm open to playing most anyone from the Original series, if I know them (I'm not familiar with Doctor Aphra, or much of Rebels, sorry).
Finally, I've put up my original idea for a future in Star Wars, post the current timeline. It assumes Rey won and the Jedi end up being restored.
So please, take a look at what I have to offer! Also, please look at my rules, there is a code there.This is not an attempt to trick you, I want to make sure we're both compatible and will be happy with our thread together.
1. Don't God-Mod. In other words, don't make my character speak, don't make my character, don't make my character take damage, and don't control my character. If you want something to go a certain way for plot purposes, just PM me and ask. Usually, I accept "god-modding" during travel and the like. It is usually acceptable to assume movement if a character is already committed to the journey.
2. Please be able to play both genders, and play multiple roles. Your main character(s) may be just male or just female, but I expect all the side characters and NPCs to have life and flavor, too.
3. On the note of characters: I will always play one female character. So, be aware of that. With that said, I usually also always play one male character, and I do MxM, MxF, and FxF pairings, though I prefer MxF.
4. I only RP on threads, (or GDocs in rare cases), so no PM, kik, discord, e-mail, or other rps with me. So that I know you’ve read the rules this far, please tell me about your favorite food!
5. Please be able to write more than a couple of sentences as responses to me. I have tried to do “simple” RPs, but I end up not feeling motivated to respond or continue the RP. I will need you to be able to write a paragraph or two, each post, at least.
6. PM if you are interested. The only reason for you not to PM me is if you cannot do so due to the fact you haven't reached 24 hours/10 posts.
Guidelines:
1. I do not like to be hassled for posts. Especially if I have already posted that day or the day before. Do not bother me for posts until at least two days have passed. Otherwise, I will start to resent our RP and lose interest in it.
2. I enjoy OOC talk, however I will not respond to "hi" or "-poke-" or equivalents. Have substance to the chatter, even if it just asking "How are you?".
3. Do not bump our thread if I have not posted. I will not post out of spite. I have a problem with this, I acknowledge it, I'm not fixing it.
4. On that matter, please keep OOC to PMs and not on our IC thread. IC is for posting. If you have a question, concern, or comment, just shoot me a PM.
5. In general, I do not enjoy immediate romances or "slice-of-life" RPs, so do not come to me expecting I'll do either. I may make rare exceptions.
1. Governor Tarkin in TFA period, across Kylo.
2. Chandrilan Senator in TFA across Poe.
3. Chandrilan Senator in TFA across Hux.
4. Governor Tarkin in Original Trilogy across Amilyn Holdo.
5. Governor Tarkin in Original Trilogy across Imperial.
6. Fem!Hux across either Poe or Kylo.
A Force-Sensitive woman under the command of Kylo Ren, as a Knight of Ren. The origin story is up for discussion, she could have been one of the Jedis who joined him in the slaughter, or someone he encountered after leaving Luke's training. Regardless, she has joined with the Knights of Ren, and seems to support them. Particular designs vary, but these are the ideas I have for this one:
1. A Force-sensitive who was training to be a Jedi, but when push came to shove, she joined Kylo Ren and remade her life. Though her philosophy is often at odds with Kylo, and she seems more 'Jedi' than anything, she remains determined to see the fall of the Jedi and their teachings.
2. A First Order Officer turned Knight of Ren, who deals more with the diplomacy side of things. Kylo is the threat, she is the promise, and she tries to convince the galaxy to support them.
3. Never a fan of Snoke in the First Place, the Knight of Ren is called back once Kylo takes over, being one of those Jedi Padawans who left Luke with Kylo, after learning what Luke did. They become one of Kylo’s “praetorian guard” – but there is definitely a personality clash. Could lead to them resolving their issues, convincing Hux of a coup, or outright falling to the Resistance.
4. Other ideas!
As to plot possibilities, she could easily be sent as an escort along with Hux to protect him. She could be sent to deal with the Resistance and end up captured, or end up in a Resistance trap if she goes to speak to one of their allies and try to win them over. She could be sent on the mission to find Luke with Kylo Ren, or on her own.
Descendant of the Tarkins of Eriadu through Jova Tarkin's line, related to Wilhuff. She takes pride in her Imperial heritage, and is the Senator for Eriadu. Though a firm Centrist at the outset, she starts to distance herself from that party as she sees its corruption and how many wish to support the First Order. Though not opposed to speaking with them and inviting them into the Senate, she does not favor them.
Then, Hosnian Prime happens, and the woman makes it her firm goal to destroy the First Order, which certainly surprises some. After all, it was Grand Moff Tarkin who destroyed Alderaan....
Some plot ideas are below!
1. The Resistance is aware of Tarkin's turn and criticisms of the Senate, and their inability to act against the First Order - as well as the military that the woman has at her disposal. They decide to reach out to her, and try to bring her into the fold.
2. The First Order has come to realize the threat that Tarkin presents to them. Knowing that they have some similar goals, as the First Order rose out of the Empire's ashes, they decide to either shut her up, or turn her towards favoring them again.
3. Assuming the Carrion Spike isn't destroyed, and is still operated by First Order Agent, Terex, Governor Tarkin ends up on a hunt for the ship in the chaos of everything and runs into Poe Dameron in his mission to get information from Terex (Poe Dameron comics, Terex is a major villain in them, and has the Carrion Spike ship -
a ship that belonged to Wilhuff Tarkin).
4. The First Order is in pursuit of the Resistance, but the Tarkin character does get the distress signal sent by the Resistance and decides to join the fray. This could be by going to intercept the First Order at the base where the Resistance which the Resistance has abandoned, by offering the Resistance shelter on Eriadu once they’ve fled, or by calling an emergency meeting of the Senate (perhaps someone of the Resistance and/or First Order could show up?).
5. Your ideas!
Senator of Chandrila who has stepped up into the shoes of Mon Mothma, and is a firm supporter of the Resistance, though she remains in the Senate to try and get the New Republic to see the threat that is the First Order. She has allies on both sides, Centrists and Populists. It isn’t until Hosnian Prime occurs that people start to believe her – and some begin to see her as a threat. She takes what allies survived, and brings them together, to move to support General Organa.
1. If this takes place Pre-The Last Jedi, General Organa could go to Chandrila and meet with her, bringing the Resistance along, to regroup and prepare to go against the First Order with the allies that have been gathered after Hosnian Prime.
2. If this is Post-The Last Jedi, I could see the Prodigy reaching out to Leia (finally hearing the call) and either saving them at Crait, or sending for Leia to join her at Chandrila so they can regroup here – it may have taken longer to gather all the allies.
3. The Senator could have gone to speak with the First Order as a way to try and seek a diplomatic solution – pre-Hosnian Prime. Post-Hosnian Prime, could go under that guise, but her intentions are more to gather information on what they have and where they’re located, as well as who may support them.
4. Other ideas! Generally better to work with her and Resistance people (Poe, Finn, and in her case, Holdo xD but I’m open to Kylo or Hux with a good enough reason/plot).
As to plot possibilities, she could work with the Resistance to gather more allies, be thrown into a mission alongside some of the more rash Resistance people and learn how field work actually is, or other such things! I’m open, she’s my newest idea!
Okay, so someone on here talked me into doing an Original Trilogy thing, and now I have a need. For this, I’ve basically modified the ideas of the Chandrilan Senator and Tarkin, and added a couple of other possibilities, but for the OT, I want to play across from either: Amilyn Holdo, Kes Dameron (I’m sorry Shara Bey!), Terex (this would probably be post-Endor), an Imperial OC, a Rebel OC, or maybe Thrawn – I am still learning about him, gradually. Anyways, my ideas and thoughts are below!
1. Tarkin: Heir to Eriadu after Wilhuff’s death, descended from Jova, and also realizing that the Empire is not the path. Of course, given what Wilhuff’s done, joining the Rebel Alliance is going to be…tricky. I’d love this one across Holdo in particular!
2. Chandrila: Aide to Mon Mothma, and the one who frequently goes to the Rebel bases and acts on her behalf while Mon Mothma plays her role on Chandrila and tries to maintain her position within the government so that she can continue to get information on the Empire.
3. TIE Fighter: Cocky TIE fighter who has survived multiple battles with the Rebel Alliance, and loves nothing more than a good dog-fight. Perhaps she’s developed a rapport with a Rebel X-Wing pilot, or impressed some Imperial – options are open here.
4. Hidden Force Sensitive Senator: After the Jedi Purge, many of those with the Force kept it hidden, after hearing rumors of what the Empire did. This senator, or rather, ex-senator after the Senate was dissolved, was one such individual who’s kept it on the down low. From Serenno, she has access to Clone War tech and has modified it to help keep that talent hidden, and tries to speak out and up against the Empire while not being affiliated yet with the Rebel Alliance. Could see her moved into a journalist position, or some other position where she’s combating the Empire through news and such.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away….
Star Wars: Rise of the Sith
Hundreds of years ago, Rey was successful in reviving the Jedi. Through her efforts to spread the word, and the old books, the Jedi rose again and spread through the universe, teaching others the ways of the Force. No longer was the Force a mystery, and Jedis the things of legends. A new Jedi Order was created, with its base on the planet Tython, where one of the first Jedi Temples was.
Yet, not all went over well. As the Jedis expanded their presence in the universe, a need for unity in teachings and organization was required. The Jedi Order quickly became bogged down in politics and bureaucracy. In its haste to organize, dissenting opinions were beaten down. Rebels rose up, so-called “Gray Jedi”, and they were all executed in a series of minor skirmishes.
Now the Jedi Order stands at a new and fresh height, with a presence on most core and mid-rim planets. Infants that are recognized as Force sensitive are brought up within the Order and trained in the ways of the Force, whether or not their parents consent.
~***~
To help explain this world some, I am imagining this to be about 300-400 years after Rey. Force Awakens stuff is canon, and we're going on the assumption that Rey wins and Kylo is killed. No repenting for Kylo Ren.
I like to add in the aspects that the Jedi are clinging more and more to the past--the wrongful ways that Anakin destroyed. They sort of...deny Anakin.
Part of this clinging to the past is raising only young people into Jedi's...taking them from their homes by force if necessary. This obviously has consequences, good and ill. I also imagine in their clinging to the past and the attachment issues, they have all Jedi, upon becoming a Jedi, take the name of a famous historical Jedi to serve as their "family" name--tying them strongly with the Order that raised them. Like, Manx Kenobi and Dawn Jinn, two characters i am playing.
I plan to play both Manx and Dawn, with Dawn being the one who turns towards the "Sith". If there are other "Sith" out there, they should definitely be in hiding, and not be anywhere near as established as the Jedi Order. That, or they should be mixed in with the Jedi, the way Palpatine was with the Senate. This is a thread to explore their "Rise", not to show them as something already well and truly established.
It may also show their fall, or their change into "Gray Jedi".
Plenty of roles are up for grabs here, from smuggler, Jedi Councillor, Jedi Knight, Padawans, Secret Siths, Senators--so come and bring your ideas and characters to breathe life into the story!
Okay, so these are characters that don't have as many ideas, or aren't as fleshed out yet, but I'm willing to work with them!
1. Female Hux: I cosplay Hux, and it’s hella fun, and I love Hux as a man, don’t get me wrong – but I would also really enjoy doing an AU/What-If of Hux as a woman, and how that would play out, preferably right the point where Snoke is found dead (I honestly found it hard to believe that Hux knelt to Kylo’s authority so easily), or right after the movie and the exploration of the rebel base. The clashes with Kylo could be fun, but after the scene with Poe, too, that could be interesting if they caught the X-Wing pilot right before their actual escape – considering Hux’s state of mind at this point and all. Also up for playing this one pre-The Last Jedi!
2. Flygirl: Resistance or First Order, I don't care, I would love to find a way to play some sort of cocky as all get out flygirl!
3. Senator of Coruscant: It was an "AU" or other option for one of my KoR characters, so basically, daughter of Coruscant lobbyists, Force-sensitive but masks it with help from Serenno tech, and a senator of Coruscant. A Centrist/Imperialist who generally speaking, likes what the First Order is selling, but is against the planet-destroying thing. Likely Gray Jedi leanings if it goes that way.
