Heres me digging up an RPG idea of mine from the mists of 2007. Had a few signups and i think it has potential it just fell away as most do. Lets give it another chance
. Its more of a premise than a plot so it is a little short but i have it all worked out to unfold as we progress.
The Last Chancers
If i were to say the word 'Jedi' it instantly brings thoughts of noble intentions, wise judgements, and skilled warriors. But what does it take to become one of these 'elite'. An affinity for the force is a given however the legends of the strict training that all hopefull Jedi undertake from a very young age are are what give the Jedi their enigmatic reputation. Dedication and commitment above the standards of an average citizen of the republic.
But what happens to those who dont take as well to the training? We have all heard the rhumours of Dark Jedi that ally themselves to the teachings of the Sith but they have not been seen in millenia. Are we to assume that all young Padawans pass through to the rank of Jedi Knight, that the academy has a 100% pass record? Or is there perhaps something more?
--------------------------------------
Ok this story is to take place long before the actions of even Episode 1 so there will be noone using existing Charachters or technology besides the basics (space travel yes, X-wings no)
You will be one of the 'last Chancers'. Which is basically a nickname given to any Padawan reaching the end of his training with little hope of passing. Either because they are emotional, arrogant or just plain inept. Under the guidance of a Jedi Master (played by me) you will either prove yourself worthy to become a full fledged Jedi or face the alternative (which i will go into in the RPG). After all, the Jedi cannot allow those trained in the Jedi arts, but without the responsibility to use it wisely to run around the galaxy freely.
As i said im keeping this basic as i prefer to expand on things as the rpg grows and lately when i over complicate things people dont join. Any questions just ask or PM.
You will of course all be Jedi however i must restrict the Lightsaber styles. (Dont want to see any Red blades etc, those are Sith....and Emo. Your all ungraduated trainee's therefore you have a limited choice. There are 3 types of Sword style and 3 types of stance signified by blade colour. I may be persuaded to include more styles if you can convince me....no mind tricks.
Styles -
: Single Blade - Star Wars standard
: Double Blade - The Darth Maul Special
: Short Blade - A pair of sabers with shorter 'dagger style' blades (about forearm length)
Stances -
: Guardian - Blue Blade, Lightsaber Specialists
: Consular - Green Blade, Force control Specialists
: Sentinel - Yellow Blade, Force augmentation specialists (fitness/speed/agility)
(Dont worry, picking one wont limit your uses of the other disciplines, remember Obi Wan was a guardian but could still use the Force effectively while Yoda, being a Consular was still a skilled Swordsman)
