Yes she can have he upgraded version as well in one slot

Awesome , thank you. So far I've got her with Ionize , Shatterpoint , Force Body , and Force Pull/Push. I'm thinking her last may be something like Alter Damage , which goes with her specialty of Saber Dueling.

 

[Grim Wraithe Stjerna]

Well now I've done it. I've posted a CS, so I guess I'm committed to this thing now.

One thing - if he's been 'fighting' Seperatists for years , that means he was likely spying on the seps in the 10 years between the end of the First Battle of Naboo and the start of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY. Which makes a lot of sense given he's moonlighting as a fringe smuggler , but I just wanted to make sure you knew that.

 

[Grim Wraithe Stjerna]

Thank you for the confirmation, I did not know that specifically.

Proletariat Can our shadows use powers that aren't in their top 5?

Hello~

Yuuzhan Vong are extremely , incredibly rare in this time period. They also don't stoop to breed with humans - even the advance scouts are aggressive and murderous. Half-Human Half-Yuuzhan along hybrids just don't exist.

Yuuzhan Vong are extremely , incredibly rare in this time period. They also don't stoop to breed with humans - even the advance scouts are aggressive and murderous. Half-Human Half-Yuuzhan along hybrids just don't exist.

Consider a Yuuzhan that had been captured during the early days, his scouting regiment decimated and his body experimented on. It would not be impossible to delve into their realm of body augmentation by combining some of their genes into the basic template of a human embryo. Science at the time would undoubtably allow for that, and if the Republic government didn't then we can say it was a sith experiment. Think of it as a human with a lot of Yuuzhan traits, including a slight resistance against the force. Nothing that compares to the Yuuzhan norm, but a slight difference.

Such an ambitious and even morally questioning and uncertain task would definitely be a rare occurrence, so it would make sense that my character is one, if not the only, of those that call themselves a hybrid.

And sure, it's probably easy to find plenty of reasons why my theory won't work. But how about we just have some fun instead analysing every little detail, eh? It's not like I plan on gathering my own Vong army. : )

 

[HK Fifty]

But then why would the Sith then make such a person a bloody Jedi Shadow? If it was a Vong in the first place , I can't imagine it'd serve the Jedi instead of acting on it's culturally conditioned tendencies toward violence in excess.

Also , being able to use 7 lightsabers all at once is , in my opinion , rather over-powered.

Don't argue just for the sake of it. Who said the sith had any such intentions? Perhaps the subject came to a realisation that the sith was evil and escaped to the Jedi, becoming a shadow because his existence could quite possibly cause an uproar in the republic.

And you misunderstand. Genes taken from the captured Vong are implanted into a human embryo, to which it grows into an entirely different person. No connection to its former Vong culture and the human instincts within him will balance his natural violent tendacies.

Perhaps 7 is too much, I'll concede that. I'll take it down to 4 then.

 

[HK Fifty]

I'm not arguing 'just for the sake of it'. I'm pointing out flaws in your character design. Why would a Yuuzhan Vong Hybrid created by the Sith ever run to the Jedi? A creature such as it would be conditioned to hate the Jedi far worse than it could ever hate the Sith - if anything it'd run away and become a bounty hunter or something of that ilk. I seriously , seriously doubt the Jedi would ever take such a creature , as well - it's of two extremely evil things already , in their mind it'd be an abomination.

Fine. Yes , I get that. But earlier , you said through Shaper techniques.. all the scout groups the Vong sent into the Galaxy prior to Nom Anor's delivery during the Galactic Civil War were pure warriors , with no knowledge whatsoever of how Shaping works. And saying that being half-human would cut his violent tendencies is simply false. Humans oft have extremely violent tendencies themselves , and being more or less raised by the Sith (or their lackeys) would only serve to bring these underlying tendencies to the forefront of it's mind , eradicating most of it's capacity for empathy or compassion. Such a creature would be violent in ways outclassing even it's own creators.

I'm glad to see you realized that at least 7 floating lightsabers as weapons is a bit too much , however. Personally I believe even 3 would be too much , but for now I'll focus on different aspects and come back to that later.

 

[Kloudy]

Well, you are arguing needlessly because it's not your place to do so. As far as I'm aware, you're not a gm nor a moderator for this rp and thus hold no authority over my character. While I appreciate you trying to help me create a believeable character, that doesn't in the slightest mean I actually have to listen to what you say.

Now, you're also making assumptions as to what happened to the Yuuzhan human after it's birth. I have not specifically said the sith raised it after birth, or even had any other interaction with the child either. Perhaps the Jedi/clones raided the facility soon after the child's creation, the sith having to abandon their experiment against the overwhelming enemy assault.
Given that the Yuuzhan Vong are such a rare species that anyone in the galaxy would have only encountered a few times, and that this is prior to that large Yuuzhan invasion, it can be safe to say that the Jedi are not as huge xenophobes as you make them out to be. Maybe master yoda or windu had a vision of the captured child being a great Jedi one day.

I'm not entirely sure what 'Shaper techniques' are and I went back and checked, but I haven't specifically said that anywhere. Unless that's the name for what I was describing, then I don't know about that.
But the sith and the republic would both be more than capable of both body modification and gene splicing, so the science behind it still theoretically stands.

Whilst that would be true for the subject to experience the violent tendencies anyway under sith supervision, I've already stated that that will not be case and we will not be using those assumptions. Yes, humans also have violent urges as well (albeit nowhere near that of the Yuuzhan) but it also gives the subject the capacity to be kind, patient and virtuous. Under the Jedi supervision and education, they can teach him techniques that help him manage his violence and anger, to be more in touch with his calmer human side than the crazy aggressive Vong side. Plus his lifespan is that of about 2x a human's so he'll have had more time to practise such teachings as he reaches the age of maturity. If you really want, I can show my character sometimes struggle between this balance and even reverting to his other half's violent streaks at times of great stress.

No, 4 should be perfectly fine. The most the Jedi or sith I have ever witnessed using at once are 4. Captain Krell in the Clone Wars animation used two dual lightsabers and General Grevious held four separate lightsabers at once, with many more in his cloak.

The only difference is that they had more arms to use said lightsabers, but that doesn't matter. My character uses the force to hold each lightsabers and wield them effectively. I don't plan on having my character particularly skilled at actual swordplay as his skills are focused mainly into the force.

Now, is there anything else you feel you absolutely need to criticise about my character?

Daddy's home. Now, I'm not near the analyst that HK is, but instead of all these perhaps and what ifs, you need to come up with a damn good reason for your character to be this hybrid, talk to me about it, and even then I don't think you'll convince me to allow it. But I'll let you try. Also make sure the entire CS is filled out and no telekenetic lightsabers. On top of the fact that it would be terribly ineffective in combat against a sith or dark Jedi, it's not easy to balance so unless ya got more than two arms no more than two lightsabers wielded at once pls.

And you'll get your damn good reason. I haven't even written any kind of backstory explaining my character's existence yet, but apparently it's backstory is still somehow flawed according to one. 0_o

Aww, I was looking forward to floating lightsabers. Welp, I guess I'll just have two then.

Proletariat Can our shadows use powers that aren't in their top 5?

Yes they can, the top 5 are what they do exceptionally well. Also, remove the additional parenthesis next to infiltration in the specialization.

Also as a question what is the difference between a double bladed lightsaber and a double bladed lightsaber pike?

A double bladed lightsabers pike would have shoto-sized blades and a hilt twice or three times the length of the double bladed lightsaber.

I just started rewatching the CGI Clone Wars and I forgot how much I f*ck*ng hate how much the battle droids talk. They made them goofy, they shouldn't be goofy!

 

[Kloudy]

What happened to the cold hearted obscure killing machines we know and love. ;-;

 

[HK Fifty]

The CGI Clone Wars basically ruins most of the war droids of the entire Clone Wars era. Thank goodness the B3 , the Cameleon droid , and my precious IG-Lancers weren't in it , or they'd have found a way to ruin them too. Well , I guess the Droidekas came out fine , but they're Droidekas. I think the Colicoid Scorpnek annihilator would've came out fine.

Also , the idea that Captain Rex decided to weld parts of the Phase II armor onto his existing armor because he just finally got it to fit is fripping ridiculous. He's exactly the same as everybody else , so if their armor fit , so would his. All that means is all his Phase II action figures (including the Black Series version recently revealed) have these hideous bronzish-brown lines all over it , which kind of spoils the look of all the blue and white.

 

[Kloudy]

What about those commando droids that we're like super intelligent infiltration assassins? They were pretty cool and stayed true to the heartless killing machine idea.

They were in their first few appearances. After a little while they swiftly became basically the equal of the B1s in Republic Commando as far as the show was concerned. But in their first several appearances they were rather amazing , and that set them among my favorite War Droid models.

I can only remember that one episode where a bunch of clones were holed up in this cis outpost and the cis sent those commando droids. One showed up to the scanner wearing a Clone helmet and had a human clone voice, fooling the guy at the controls into letting the droids in. When I was younger that had me so enthralled as to the genius of it. xD

That wasn't a CIS outpost though , that was the Rishi Moon listening station. I always did like the voice-matching trick , which is something I always thought more droids should've had. Anything IG (save my beloved , yet kind of basic Lancers) probably should have that , I'd think. To be fair , that episode (or that entire arc really) is commonly agreed upon to be among the best in the entire series , so it makes sense that it treats the droids very well too. "The Deserter" treated them very well too , and is also a great episode - even damaged and left to rot in a malfunctioning deployment pod , they're very formidable. In fact they're almost horror film villains , and it's awesome.
