The Cantina

[Havelock Vetinari]

Okay, so things I need to do today:

 

Vel post

TD-69 post

Talzin timeskip?

Tracking post for various patient people

[Vengent Spectre]

Just to let you guys know I'm probably going to be inactive for the next few days.

[Geardirector]

Ummm, this is embarassing, but I seem to have encountered a problem. I can't find any styles of combat, for Jedi or Sith that explicitly mention that the focus lies on utilizing the force more than the wielder's weapon. Any suggestions?

[Madara: Mangekyou Master]

Niman. Definitely Niman

[otter]

It's Niman.

 

Also, Madara, don't squee too much over the Pillow of the Jedi

 

you need to retain some air in your lungs so that, y'know, you stay conscious and able to run the game

 

=P

"The diplomat's form" hmmm.

 

Well, I was kind of planning for my Sith character to be less of a mighty-fighty type, more inclined to deception and cunning, so I could probably make this work.

[otter]

Well, the whole point behind Niman is that it's an easily learnt form for somebody who's not planning to use their lightsaber much.

[Geardirector]

The thing with my character is that he doesn't actually have a lightsaber.

 

I figure I might as well say what I had planned, to see if it'll meet the staff's criteria.

 

I was thinking of letting him have a Felucian Skullblade.

[HeavyMetalSunshineSister]

Interesting. How did the character acquire it?

[otter]

Seeing as the lightsaber forms were developed from duelling forms based around physical blades, and are just as usable with a physical blade as with one of plasma...

 

Or you could just go with Teras Kasi.

[Geardirector]

Skullblades are rare, but can be found on the black market. He "acquired" it from a "former" Black Sun smuggler.

[Madara: Mangekyou Master]

Hmmm... A skullblade is a pretty heavy-looking weapon. Aggressive looking. You could probably adapt tactics from Form V if you want.

[Geardirector]

This has been really helpful, you guys

[Madara: Mangekyou Master]

FYI (re- an upcoming post relating to the Coruscant chase) everyone should know that Wilhuff Tarkin is considered a hero of the Republic. He's done some pretty amazing stuff against the CIS, and his record indicates that he's stopped more than one CIS superweapon threat against the Republic.

[HeavyMetalSunshineSister]

Because, of course, half of writing history is covering up what's already there.

[Flex Lord Splash]

So is the chase still going on?

[HeavyMetalSunshineSister]

Well, I'm bugging out to Bespin as soon as I get some character interaction (the delay in such has been explained, and will address itself in due time). My ship is currently leaving Coruscant orbit, and I very much doubt that any ship still hanging around near the surface is in a position to catch it before it jumps.

 

So, the sum total of this is some dead clones, some property damage, and a much more entertaining bounty on my character's head than what I started with, I suppose.

[Relapse]

Alright, this character I've been conceptualizing for awhile, but I only just decided to post him.

 

 

 

Name: Praeth Pil'omn

Species: Twi'lek

Gender: Male

Age: 37

Faction: Jedi Order

Sympathies: Undying loyalty to the Jedi

Rank: Knight

Occupation: Lightsaber Instructor

Skills:

-As an instructor of Lightsaber dueling and usage, he is incredibly skilled, using Juyo, a form considered one of most difficult to learn, let alone master

-As is to be expected, he is not without skills with dual Lightsabers, and even prefers to use them in actual combat

-Wide knowledge of disguise, able to hide his identity with ease when needed

-Coming out of left field is his skill in brewery- he is quite good at making and serving drinks

Force Abilities: Praeth's Force abilities are remarkable for someone at his age. Even though he specializes in Lightsaber combat, he is one of the more skilled among his class.

Equipment or Weapons: A Lightsaber enthusiast, he came into possession of an extreme rarity- an orange Lightsaber chrystal. This blade he uses as his primary weapon, while his other Lightsaber, of blue light, is used in dual wielding.

Appearance: Praeth is a well-built red Twi'lek, with dragon-like black tattoos lining his left arm and chest. His lekku both hang behind his head unadorned save for wrapping towards the ends.

Personality: While blatantly masculine, Praeth can be described as...bubbly. Quite energetic, it isn't difficult to get him excited about things. Loving and lovable, he isn't quite what one would describe a sagely Jedi Knight to be. This isn't to save he's reckless or stupid, however- he's actually rather intelligent.

Home Planet: Ryloth

History: Like most Force-sensitives on major planets, he was snatched up early on and brought to the Temple on Coruscant. Quite adept in his abilities and naturally a skilled duelist, he rose in rank quickly. To put it simply, most don't become Lightsaber Instructors at his age.

a lethan twi'lek

 

with black tattoos

 

in the jedi order

 

I smell something fishy

 

also, I find it improbable that at the age of 28 anybody could become a Lightsaber Instructor.

 

But I'm not staff, so eh

[Relapse]

Changing his age to be safe...

[Havelock Vetinari]

Alright. I'm turning in for the night. I've been operating at maybe 55% today and had to do some yard work. So I'm pretty beat.

 

I'll try to clear a few things off my checklist, but come 8:00 eastern time, I'm out.

 

Sith Spy approved +1.

[Madara: Mangekyou Master]

Shuhei, you have almost no mention of his Force abilities. More detail would be a necessity before I give it approval. If he's a lightsaber instructor, does he teach only younglings, or does he tutor Padawans on the side? (If he teaches younglings, knowledge of Shii-Cho would be a plus).Moreon his description would be good. What kind of clothing does he wear? Is he tall? Does he have odd bulges on his forehead like some male Twi'leks? What's his chin like?

I am not approving a character with a two-line history section. The profile in general is lacking in detail.

[Makuta of Time]

I'm having a bit of trouble with the appearance aspect of the new Jedi character I made. The coding seems to note be co-operating with me. I'll see if I can get some help.

[Relapse]

I've had bad writer's block lately, but I'll rewrite it.

[Havelock Vetinari]

See? I'm the nice one RPG-goers. When you overthrow the other two in a violent coup d'etat, remember your old friend Basilisk....

[otter]

I stand with Madara and Ymper.

 

The Pillow of the Jedi shall protect them.

[Madara: Mangekyou Master]

If you're feeling writer's block, you can always brainstorm a WIP with some amigos. Rest assured, you won't be needing a new character after we're done remaking Harrisun... >: DDDD

Basilisk, you're the one who can't be bothered to read over profiles half the time, because you're too tired to properly operate a spoon.

Well you did give him a fork.

 

-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[Havelock Vetinari]

And yet, still self-serving enough to try to turn it into an advantage.

 

I retract my approval and leave it in the capable hands of my comrades. I'm about to collapse so...

 

I'm out for the night.

Ymper's not mean, he's just demanding of detail and effort, and I'm failing in those departments right now.

 

but yeah you're way nicer

[Madara: Mangekyou Master]

Burn.More importantly, it's a profile that can be improved. If you have a particular direction you're going, you can PM one of the staffers. Or some of the experienced fellow RPers here. I'm sure that they'll have some wonderful input.

[otter]

In this thread: A player thinks Basilisk is the nice staff member.

 

These are troubling times.

[HeavyMetalSunshineSister]

Ymper's not mean

Keep believing that.

 

But seriously, if someone needs help adding more detail to something, I am available to provide appropriate assistance.

[Wyrd Bid Ful Araed]

Huzzah, a tracking post! Now we just need something from that Duros...

EDIT: But seriously I can help you out.

When the RPG topic for a Star Wars game is more sane than the discussion topic, something is off...

Oh noes, the Trentin and her pirate pal escaped! D:
