Fandom Star Wars: Heirs to the Force Character Thread

[Dystopianist]

After the death of the Neti Jedi Master T’ra Saa, her saplings were scattered into the hyperspace streams. Neti pollen was picked up by ships traveling from planet to planet and by only a few decades later, midi-chlorians from the substance were abundant in nearly an entire fifth of all living creatures.

Suddenly, force sensitive people were common across the galaxy. A theocratic revolution against Imperial oppressors was launched on Mandalore. Dathomirian adepts became numerous enough to form the Quelii Consortium. The New Sith, arrogant and untempered, was dispatched with a simple planetside bombing of the Korribani temples.

Peace didn’t survive more than a decade. The Jedi Order had been rebuilt using the repurposed Imperial missionary corps, but this proved to be their downfall. In a fit of paranoia, the Empress later known as the Face of Death detonated bioweapons into every Imperially constructed Jedi temple. The Jedi had survived blaster fire and betrayal in ages past; but even they proved vulnerable to repurposed Sith alchemy.

With a third of the Triumvirate eradicated and one primed to destroy the other, the galaxy descended into barbarism as warlords and religions rose and fell.

It is now the year 200 ABY. Power throughout the galaxy has stabilized into five warring forms, each of them boasting their own unique force adepts. The Jedi are dead. The Sith are dead. The stars no longer sing of them, and their saga is over. Could the next be about you?

  1. No Jedi or Sith. If you want to play a force user there’s Alliance Rangers, Imperial Knights, Witches of the White Current, Sei, and theocommandos, not to mention the dozens of other traditions I didn’t formalize into factions. Choose one and run with it.
  2. If anything doesn’t make sense or is a reference you don’t get, don’t be discouraged. I’ll almost always clarify exactly what things are. But otherwise, you can feel free to look up some of these concepts on https://starwars.fandom.com, which is the site I used for creating this RP.
  3. I don’t subscribe to any map of the Star Wars universe. This is a EU roleplay anyway, so you can be mad that I’m contradicting every map made previously like every map made previously somewhere else.
  4. The lines of Skywalker and Fett unbroken are primarily held by the Galactic Emperor and the Mand’alore respectively. Most of the former family were killed in the Face of Death purge, and most of the latter were killed by past Mand’alores themselves. If you want to graft your character onto either bloodline, you should have a good reason for it.
  5. If you want your character to use a certain type of technology or be a certain type of droid, please either utilize the Technology tab or talk to me about possible new tech. Unless you want your character to look archaic, modern technology should have been substantially improved on since the protocol droids and Blastech of the 1st centuries B and ABY.
  6. I’d really enjoy some shipping or otherwise special dynamics within the main cast, so please talk to your fellow players about past and future relationships.
  7. Don’t try to “win” the game! The hand of the Force, so to speak, rewards good roleplaying.

  Spoiler: Holy Mandalorian Empire

  Faction Name: The Holy Mandalorian Empire
  Ruler: Mand’alore Vhe Gev-Kadim, Head of the Church.
  Capital: Coruscant
  Force Adepts: Theocommandos, beskar-wearing robed warriors wielding beskade sabers. They wear the latest model of in-armor jetpacks, small turbines folding out of their back in their boots. Their communication and targeting systems are powered by the blood lightning force technique, which can also manifest as lightning blasts out of their gauntlets.
  History: Under the heel of Imperial oppression, and with newfound common force abilities, the Mandalorian people launched a massive theocratic revolution against the Empire.
  
  While the Mandalorians easily earned their independence, they could not determine who to rule quite so easily. The descendants of the great Mandalorian heroes of history, including the Gev and Vizla clans, waged a costly Second Mandalorian Civil War. But from this war, eventually emerging victorious was the Mand’alore Farkra Gev, and under her leadership, there came a great Second Mandalorian Crusade.
  
  In the modern day, Mandalorian forces occupy the second largest territory behind the Galactic Empire. While their military is substantially stronger than any other in the galaxy, they’ve mostly been focused on simultaneously warring quite successfully against both the Empire and the Alliance.
  
  
  Spoiler: The Consortia

  Faction Name: The Consortia
  Ruler: The Three Queen Mothers. The Hapan Queen Mother conducts most domestic regulation and public relations, the Dathomirian Queen Mother focuses on war and command, while the Zann Queen Mother carries out espionage and trade. The current monarchs are Arhana Shado, Rei Kamyoto, and Kanta the Hutt respectively.
  Force Adepts: The Witches of the White Current, the resulting order from Fallanassi refugees on Dathomir. Mostly illusion-based practitioners.
  History: When the Galactic Empire first began eradicating rival factions, the Fallanassi culture fled to Dathomir to refuge with the Daughter of Allya.
  
  By the time of the Neti pollen becoming widespread galaxy-wide, the combined force tradition of the Witches of the White Current held thousands of practitioners. They slowly began taking back nearby planets before the Galactic Empire arrived once again.
  
  In desperation, the Quelii Consortium they had formed united with their old allies the Hapes and Zann Consortiums to form the Consortia, an unified and now particularly large sector of the galaxy. They quickly fended off Imperial forces and began a policy of isolationism.
  
  By the time of 200 ABY, the Consortia are now on diplomatic enough terms with the Empire and Alliance. While officially neutral, they are known for often hiring out their navies and Witches as mercenary forces to both Alliance and Empire forces.
  
  
  Spoiler: Galactic Empire

  Faction Name: The Galactic Empire
  Ruler: Emperor Ashan Draco, Embodiment of the Force, Defender of the Galaxy, First Triumvir, and eight-year old boy. Largely manipulated by the Moff Council.
  Capital: Bastion
  Force Adepts: The Imperial Knights, a militant offshoot of the Jedi who wield white lightsabers and wear red cortosis armor. Highly disciplined if not serene like their predecessors.
  History: After the fall of the Triumvirate, the Face of Death regarded the Alliance as a rebel against the true heir to the galaxy, themselves. In response, Admiral Huron Wellk declared his own faction to be the true heir to the imperial throne. But not long before the Empire could destroy its rival once and for all, the Mandalorian Church began the Second Crusade.
  
  Now, while the Galactic Empire holds the most legitimacy of all five factions, it slowly loses ground to the Mandalorians and Ro’ik’o Vong while increasingly employing Consortia mercenaries to achieve its goals.
  
  
  Spoiler: Alliance of Free Worlds

  Faction Name: The Alliance of Free Worlds
  Ruler: Lady Admiral Khara Siina, a Nautolan ranger.
  Capital: Corellia
  Force Adepts: Alliance Ranger Corps, warriors wielding the bayoneted rifles known as siang lances and the protective shield gauntlets. Their trainees are known as Squires, while full members are simply called Rangers and high-ranking members Lords.
  History: Backed into a corner once again by competing and often superior forces after the collapse of the Triumvirate, the Alliance was forced to rely on mass-integration of the minor and relatively unknown Kilian Rangers Force doctrine.
  
  Surprisingly, the result was a major success. The hierarchy of the Kilian Rangers was adopted into almost all Alliance ranking systems, and soon Alliance forces were, for once in decades, able to hold their own even against the likes of Imperial Knights and theocommandos.
  
  
  Spoiler: Ro’ik’o Vong

  Faction Name: The Ro’ik’o Vong
  Ruler: Supreme Overlord Zhanulb Duman, a former slave miner who’s renowned for his ferocity in battle. He’s said to have lost his right eye when he was stabbed in the eye with a vibroblade, after which he ripped it out and ate his own eye. Many Ro’ik’o Vong banners feature the image of a blade with an eye at the end.
  Capital: Zonama Sekot
  Force Adepts: The Sei, or “magicians” in Bothanese. Wielding Yuuzhan Vong biotechnology, their techniques are primarily focused on redirecting and nullifying what the enemy does first.
  History: After the disastrous Battle of Caamas, Admiral Gar Stazi consolidated almost all leftover Alliance forces in a desperate bid to keep the faction relevant in galactic geopolitics. Without many resources to spare on defending the very race that had provoked their fall from grace, Stazi left the low ranking officer Ghin Loxar to protect Yuuzhan Vong territories.
  
  But without oversight, Loxar’s forces seized control of Zonama Sekot and subjugated the Yuuzhan Vong people as slave laborers. In a cruel twist of irony, the race renowned for biotechnology were forced to build a droid fleet to bolster Loxar’s military power.
  
  Loxar’s regime displayed levels of bigotry not seen since the Galactic Empire under Palpatine. Yuuzhan Vong, and to a similar extent Bothan prisoners from ar’kai raids, were forced into bondage while humans were the only species allowed in government.
  
  After nearly fifty years under Loxarian rule, the slave miner Zhanulb Duman gathered a group of followers as the Ro’ik’o Vong movement, meaning “children of enemies [ideas]” to recognize how their culture had been born from the union of Bothan and Yuuzhan Vong peoples. Within five years Duman’s forces had taken back control of Zonama Sekot, and within another five, the local quadrant.
  
  
• 
  Czerka-13 Blaster Carbine: The most common laser arm in the galaxy. Developed in collaboration after Czerka Arms bought out the failing Blastech Industries in 193 ABY. Can sear through most Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War era armors, but modern alloys deflect it well enough.
  
  Siang Arms: Based on the original technology of the Kilian Rangers. The Alliance Ranger Corps has adapted the original weapon into myriad different forms, some say even more than the lightsaber during the apex of the Jedi. While the original Siang lance, the “short Siang” remains popular among the Corps, many members are known to use long Siangs, a mix of larger sniper rifles and longer blades. Beyond these two types, Siang lances occur in dozens of different varieties depending on the preference of the wielder.
  
  Kilian Shield: These are personal defense shields carried by Alliance Rangers. As with Siangs, their variety exceeds that of the lightsaber by far. Some prefer the traditional bracers wielded by the original Kilian Rangers, but other varieties, even full armors generated by the devices, are not unheard of. Popular models include the shield greaves which can be used to create platforms to travel on, and the shield nexus modifications which can draw power from multiple shields to form larger ones.
  
  Mandalorian Jetpack: The newest, latest generation of propulsionary devices. These usually take the form of small turbines that can fold out of armor across the body. They work by releasing massive amounts of energy to create flight, though the heat of the turbines is too dangerous to be born without the accompanying armor.
  
  Yammka Kas(‘o): “killer sentry” or “guard” in the Roiko Vong pidgin language. Assassin droids heavily augmented with biotech.

  Name: Koyia Nu (Koyi’anu)
  
  Race: Rutian Twi’lek
  
  Gender: Female
  
  Force Tradition (Ignore if not applicable): Alliance Ranger Corps
  
  Personality: Born the daughter of wealthy first-generation immigrants on the Alliance capital of Corellia, Koyia took quickly to the Corps and soon earned her status as a full Ranger. However, even as a born and raised Coreillian, Koyia always took special interest in the culture of her home planet. Even as most Twi’leks are completely disconnected from their native culture, she eagerly seeks information about Rylothian history and traditions, resenting the stereotypes placed upon her race by the rest of the galaxy.
  
  Appearance: Koyia is an aquamarine-skinned Twi’lek with two long, thin Lekku usually coined tightly around her neck. She wears the red-accented overcoat of the Alliance Rangers down to her hips and keeps her long Siang strapped diagonally to her chest with a leather strap. She tends to favor the tight, but not revealing clothing style of more conservative Rylothian circles.
  
  Possessions: Long Siang, dual shield gauntlets, and shield greaves. Gauntlets contain shield nexus modifications.

[Skyfire647]

Name: Luz Veke

Race: Dathomirian

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Force Tradition: The Sei

Personality: Luz tends to be very aggressive and defensive. She fights for her faction no matter what, her loyalty often being her downfall. Luz is almost always found training, practicing the Sei traditions. If you were to ever find her with a large group of people, you should take a picture. Luz enjoys solitary and rarely is seen in large crowds. She is cold at first but she can really open up to those she is close to. Her ability to feel nothing at times makes her a good asset to the Sei.

Appearance:

History: Luz has spent her whole life training to be part of the Sei, and when her time came to become one, she took the opportunity. Her whole life revolves around her nation, she will do anything she can to prove herself. Although Luz does not have much memory of her past the Ro'ik'o Vong found her after her parent's ship crashed during an escape from a war in which the Ro'ik'o participated. Once found, she had shown a large amount of force sensitivity and they took her in to be raised in the ways of the Sei.

Possessions:
Only those given to her from the Sei. She makes a point not to own anything that is close to her.

 

[LibbyM098]

Name: Aurora Australis
Age: 25
Race: Zabrak and Human hybrid.
Physical Description: Lylack eyes and purple skin with dark purple hair. She also has light purple markings on her forehead and under her eyes. Credit to the artist in the face clame.
Profession: Smuggler
Personality: Determined and cheeky. Being a smuggler since she was a child has led to a habit of stealing. She also loves going to the club and having a bit of fun. She is a force to be reckoned with in the skies as she was trained by her father who was a Zabrak Smuggler.

History: Aurora grew up on her father's ship and never knew her mother as she died giving birth.
Aurora learned everything from her father and soon started winning races at the age of 5 for extra pocket money.
Having become an excellent pilot from a young age her father knew he could count on her to help him with his business.
She also learned how to smuggle things in plain sight. How to be sneeky and steal.
It was all going so well until they where smuggling a criminal from one side of the galaxy to the other.
The job was risky and soon ended in disaster.
Their ship got raided by Bounty Hunters and in the mess her father was shot dead.
They then turned to the young teen and shot her twice by the very man her father had tired to smuggle to safety, leaving her to die beside her father.
But her wounds weren't fatal and by some miracle she survived.
It was when all 5 men had gone to the cockpit, Aurora had dragged herself to the engineers quarters at the back of the ship.
She was able to patch herself up save her own life.
That was when she knew what she had to do.
The man they were smuggling was with the Bounty Hunters and they where here to steal her Fathers ship... The Firefly.
She knew what she had to do and she did it quickly.
She opened up one of the panels on the side of the wall that was hiding a kill switch.
She pressed it and the entire ship was filled with toxic gas apart from the engineers quarters.
She stayed by herself in that little room for 24 hours until the gas had done it's job and new fresh air had filled the ship again.

She limped out of the engineers quarters and past her father's body and into the cockpit to find only 4 bodies. The man that had killed her father and shot her, had gotten away.
She made an oath that day, to never stop looking for the Bounty Hunter that killed her father. If she ever saw him again. She would be the last thing he ever saw.

Abilities: She is a skilled pilot and isn't a bad shot with her ships fighter blasters. She can usually fix anything broken on her ship pretty good as well, but the patch up jobs never look the most prettiest.
She is also a good shot with her blasters and prides herself on being quick on her feet when in hand to hand combat.

 

[concerning-the-ufo]

Name: Lu Rhejong

Race: Nautolan

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Profession: Bounty hunter

Personality: Lu's personality is decidedly un-bounty hunter. She has a very keen sense of honor and order, one she's inherited from her background (addressed below!) despite her current profession. She's incredibly committed to her sense of morality, even when doing jobs, and operates best under other authority and with orders (she's still getting used to being her own boss). When she's not on the job, she's sweet and reserved. She's pretty quiet, and a good listener, and she is pretty pure-intentioned (often to a fault; her shrewdness is not the thing which makes her a strong bounty hunter, but rather her skill and prowess).

History: Lu was raised from the cradle to be a part of the Mandalorian army. Her father and mother were both soldiers, and she wanted nothing more than to follow in their footsteps. Since she was very young, she trained hard; she ran, she trained her strength, she honed her skill with a weapon and, crucially, hand-to-hand combat. She is incredibly hard to best in hand-to-hand; she's pure muscle, she's quick, and she's been practicing since she was a very little girl. As soon as she was able, she joined in the Mandalorian army, and quickly became an extremely valuable soldier. She was never able to rise far in the ranks, since her skills were far more focused on combat and far less on strategy, but her abilities were highly valued among her team and squadron. Lu's experience in the army, however, began to wear on her. After years of training for this one position, she became disillusioned with hurting and fighting. She knew the people she was fighting in other armies were just like her; she became more and more aware that they were probably cradle-to-grave soldiers who had never intentionally hurt anyone. As she became more and more valuable to the army, she got less and less rest, got more and more commendation for her prowess in battle. She couldn't take the pressure, and she couldn't take the knowledge that her entire life was violence; one night, she defected. She escaped the planet with nothing but her standard-issue blaster and the clothes on her back, hoping to find a life free from violence. She was quickly faced with the fact, however, that she had only one skill; fighting. Where else would she work? She entered into bounty hunting out of desperation to make a living, and will work for whoever will pay her. Her goal is eventually to make enough money to buy a little farm or a little shop far far away from all the fighting, and to live out her life in peace.

Possessions: Her trusty czerka-13, she's had it since she left the army, and a glove from her father's armor which she took as a memento when she left. She occasionally sends a message home; she still loves her family
