Sagas
THE LOST TALES
[media]
[/media]
Taking place in 160 ABY, the story will focus on ending The Sith Wars, a civil war fought between Sith of opposing sides. The residents of the Galactic Republic, the Jedi Order and all life in the Galaxy is at risk because of this increasingly violent conflict. Your role is one of freedom. Choose to fill any shoes you please in this very large Galaxy. You will interact, grow and expand your own personal saga with everyone involved, all while moving the plot forward toward it's epic culmination.
An organization of radical Sith warriors that was established by Darth Krayt. This group consists of many Sith under one leader, The Dark Lord of the Sith. This leader commands and the acolytes obey. Those who display the most power and loyalty are awarded the title "Darth" and given a place of honor among the group. This group is mainly located on the Sith homeworld of Korriban.
Brought back to life by Darth Wredd, the Rule of Two is firmly rooted in the Old Ways of the Sith. One master, one apprentice. One to wield the power and one to crave it. Those who split from The One Sith found their place among those here, as some sought power while others that already had the power didn't wish to obey one leader. Both master and apprentice have the "Darth" title. While fewer in number than The One Sith, those practicing the Rule of Two are often better trained because of their one on one style.
Reinstated by loyal individuals to the Light side of The Force, The Jedi Order is headed by the esteemed Jedi Council, a group of masters hand picked for the sole duty of guiding this group of stalwart warriors. The Jedi have reclaimed the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and train there primarily. A master will train a knight. A knight will train an apprentice. And the padawans will eagerly await their turn to be chosen for training.
With so many groups scattered about this vast Galaxy, listing them all would be a very daunting task. But as this is an RP based on choice, all organizations that are around as of 138 ABY are okay for use in Sagas. For reference on these organizations, please consult www.starwars.wikia.com
The Episode Formula
Star Wars Sagas is going to differ itself from other similar RP's by having what is called "The Episode Formula." This particular style of writing will allow each character that signs up a chance to steal the spotlight.
This is done by giving one character the chance to shine with their own personal mission. This mission can be used to learn a new skill, acquire knowledge or to better understand the character as a whole. During this mission, the character it revolves around will be the "lead" while the rest of the writers will aid in the completion of their story. Once the story is completed, someone else will take on the spotlight, continuing around and around until everyone gets a turn.
The catch, however, is that the mission must move the main plot forward in some small way. That is where you will meet your challenge. Not only by constructing a great mission for everyone to enjoy, but to help benefit the story in a way that makes sense.
While the creative freedom is in your hands, the OOC forum will be a great place to discuss possible plot advancements. Or, if you're not comfortable with a public debate, feel free to PM me.
The Galaxy Room
While the main structure is that of missions, plot movements and character growth, there will also be room for those who simply would like to RP without the constraints of being on a specific mission. This "Galaxy Room" will give players the ability to RP freely outside the main plot. Though, we still ask that any stories created here still make sense for the greater story at hand. Don't go blowing up Naboo, because we may need it later on.
Star Wars Encyclopedia
Given that this is a very large franchise, it's hard to really maintain every tidbit of information on one little forum. So, to help unravel the complication, I ask that everyone please refer to the Star Wars wikia. Wookieepedia, as it's more affectionately referred to, is a wealth of knowledge for anyone seeking information on the Galaxy and everything in it. It will be our bible for this RP, so to speak. Everyone should at least glance at it if they haven't before.
General Rules
1.) No Godmodding
2.) No Young Masters
3.) No Controlling Another Player's Character Without Permission
4.) No Autohitting In Fights
5.) Do Not Kill Characters Without Permission
6.) Know Your Situation.
Example: Say you're an Imperial Agent on Coruscant, you're not going to wear your Imperial uniform, or start questioning the Republic's ways, you're going to keep your cover. Or you're a Smuggler on a planet with a bounty on your head, you're not going to start boasting about how skilled you are. If you're a bounty hunter on a militarized world, you won't punch a Senator in the gut because you don't like him, or you'll get in trouble. Consequences. Be aware of them.
7.) Please Use Good Grammar
8.) Use The OOC Section For OOC Chat
9.) Do not interact with any known, established or famous characters. Yeah, it might be nice to arm-wrestle Darth Bane or sit down and have tea with Yoda… but… simply… don’t do it! Who is to say how Darth Vader or Luke or Han Solo would react to the events in your story? Certainly not you! These characters, especially those from the films and TV series, are very dear to us and we know them very well. Interacting with these characters should, simply, be avoided at all cost.
10.) Speak like a Wookiee. Be mindful of the races of Star Wars. Although there was a Wookiee (or two, maybe, if I remember correctly) that spoke Republic Basic in the KOTOR games, we’ve yet to hear any Wookiees speak anything but Shiriiwook…or maybe Thykarann or Xacik in the films or the TV series. Granted, Wookiees could understand Basic and non-wookies could understand one of the Wookiee languages, but it’s not acceptable for a Wookiee to go about blabbing in Basic. The point to make here extends to being mindful of the mannerisms of the various races of Star Wars as well as their interactions and politics and religions. Know the race you’re writing for.
11.) Be patient with your fellow writers (and the public should be patient with a story). Many people on this forum have real lives with real jobs and families. It takes some people longer to respond or to take their turn at writing. Most people are here to have fun. Those “other” people should be ignored….or run through with a red-bladed lightsaber!
12.) Finally, while patience must be practiced, don't go suddenly inactive without any notification. If you must leave us for a time, let us know so we can work your character(s) out of the story for a while so the others can continue.
13.) Because "The 12 Rules" just seems odd. Have fun.
Episode I
Enter: Crow
The crowd roared, the sound of a thousand voices echoing down the hall, through the corridors and into the dressing room that belonged to a young man. He was tall, his fair skin glistening with sweat. His long, brown hair tied back in a tight ponytail. A look of determination splashed across his face. He finished wrapping the bandages around his wrists, then slid into his shockboxing gloves, stretching his fingers and feeling them out. With everything ready to go, he turned and made his way to the source of the sound.
Bursting through a large curtain, the young man was greeted with cheers, the stands filled to capacity in what was Coruscant's largest underground arena: The Pit. He looked out over the sea of faces, drinking in the moment, then made his way down the ramp, into the ring. An announcer in the center of the ring yelled out to the crowd. "Making his way down the ramp, give it up for CROW!" He climbed up into the ring, nodded at the referee, the announcer, then turned back towards the curtain, jumping in place as he waited.
"And his opponent.. RANCOR!" A gargantuan Herglic emerged from the curtain, much to the crowd's delight. The sheer size of this creature was enough to turn heads. Bulging muscles, standing a whole head taller than Crow and looking as angry as a Hutt that just lost a bet, this creature was clearly ready for a fight. As it entered the ring, it looked down at Crow, and Crow looked up at it. "Fight!"
The bell sounded, the crowd cheered and the Herglic swung a large fist. Crow narrowly dodged the blow and the one that immediately followed. The Herglic was not deterred at all, however, continuing it's sloppy barrage of electrified punches with Crow sidestepping each one, dancing around the ring like a rabbit running from a wolf.
