Star Wars: A Final Hope (OOC/Signups)[/OPEN]

[Puertollano]

Is this still open?

Yes.

It was designed to be multi post (1-3 depending on the character) but if Serilda is that desperate to get off the station she can bolt I guess and leave everyone in a lurch.

Might not sit well with the assembled dignitaries but its not a disaster plot wise.

Just noticed though that she's using a civilian ship to try and get to the Exultation. Puertollano, I assume they are broadcasting codes?

Yes, they would be.

[Puertollano]

Sorry if I'm going to fast. Perhaps Raiden Sprax can try and hitch a ride with the Consul? That could slow my posts down.

[Ormata]

I'm glad the Galactic Alliance is just as fractured to all hell as the Coalition, lol.

If you want someone to hitch a ride with the Consul, maybe she shouldn't have already taken off.

[Puertollano]

I'll do the whole space travel in a separate post, I'm thinking.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

Tomorrow morning I'll get my app up

You could do a post intervening. I just set out what would of happened if it was uninterrupted.

I'm at a total loss of what to do with Raiden. I don't suppose Krast would have any reason to meet with him specifically? I could be wrong though, as he has an... interesting criminal record. I didn't know all of this was contraband.

I'd like to see Raiden work with the villains for the begging however. Is the coalition the villains necessarily? Is there even a way to interact with the sith? Would Krast trade temporary immunity for information on a jedi?

Like I said total loss of what to do.

Again, the Consul would be interested to hear from him, especially because of the information he knows. Raiden could be hiding inside the vessel as it takes off and reveals himself once in space.

He can try to negotiate with the woman rapidly leaving the station, sure, go for it. Krast could always use information on a Jedi.

Gonna go with this. Now, to "develop" the relationship between Illia and Raiden.

[Ebaq]

I'll just have Traxus try to hitch a ride on a outgoing shuttle with his protocol droid, C-3YK, but he's doing well considering there's death and destruction all around so nothing to panic about

[Gorbatov]

I wonder what would the Chiss do in this situation? Hmm...Aid one of the factions, or just stand to the side and observe what is about to happen between the factions?

My post is likely to be up later today, or tomorrow.

Chiss would probably just observe, trying to avoid intervention with galatic affairs seems within their MO.

What would the Oswaft do in this situation?

What is the rp example on the application?

What is the rp example on the application?

Either an example of your In Character writing from a previous RP, or a written example that you produce while making the app.

It is to help ensure that a certain standard of quality is met when accepting applications. Think of it as a section for "past work experience" on a job application.

The APP
Name: Lychenn Varik
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Allegiance paid to: The Jedi Order/Himself
Rank: Jedi Knight (unofficial)
Appearance: Standing at 6 feet, Lychenn is lean and lithe.

Personality: Impulsive, courageous, melancholic but he covers it up with a cocky demeanor and a sense of humor.
Force Sensitive: Y
Skills/Powers: A trained Jedi Knight, Lychenn is an adept in lightsaber combat, proficient in Form 4 Ataru with moderate experience in Form 2 Makashi and Form 3 Soresu. He has a good affinity with the force but he holds back in fear of revealing his force sensitivity. He has a good understanding of how to use basic force powers including telekinesis, force speed, mind tricks, etc. Additionally, he is an able marksman and is competent with blasters. He is also capable of piloting ships.
Weaponry: Blue bladed lightsaber, DL-18 Blaster pistol
Ship (If you have one): A recovered and modified Star Courier

Name: The Galactic Vagabond
Length: 26.5 meters
Engine units: 2 thrusters

Biography: Born in 172 ABY to a middle-class family on Belsavis, Lychenn was born during a time where the Varik household was struggling financially. Coincidentally, the Jedi were looking for new recruits and discovered upon a three year old Lychenn and found that he was force sensitive. Not wanting their only son to potentially experience poverty, Lychenn's parents gave him to the Jedi.

When Lychenn was a youngling, he was assigned to learn under Kel'Dor Jedi Master Vost Braga. Under the tutelage of Master Braga, Lychenn quickly developed exceptional skill with the lightsaber and quickly learned force abilities. When he was a teenager, he took part in battles against the Coalition and diplomatic missions, like solving various local conflicts.

When the Vulpter Armistice was ratified, Lychenn and Vost went into hiding. They weren't present in the Battle of Telos IV, instead they were still eluding the Alliance and the Coalition from planet to planet. During this time, Lychenn and his master continued his personal training in the arts of the Jedi. Eventually, his master deemed him worthy of being a Jedi Knight and knighted him unofficially.

Lychenn and his master had to learn how to survive as galactic drifters. They were taken in by a gang of smugglers called the Ivory Acklays, in which the pair learned how to be thieves and smugglers. Together they pulled off many jobs, stealing money and resources from other gangs and sabotaging Coalition outposts.

In one mission to sabotage a major Coalition outpost, Lychenn was caught in the act and was forced to reveal the Ivory Acklays' whereabouts to save his own life. The Coalition then launched an assault, wiped out the entirety of the Ivory Acklays and spared Lychenn in exchange. He ran to the Acklays' base and saw his master pinned beneath the debris. He tried to clear it, but he wasn't strong enough. He watched helplessly as his master slowly suffocated and died.

Having lost everyone he trusted, Lychenn sunk into a deep depression. The Jedi, The Ivory Acklays, Master Vost Braga, they were all gone. He had no one he could go to and it was the consequence of his selfishness. Desperate to find hope and meaning in his life, he wanders across the galaxy, hoping to find another safe haven and/or a Jedi survivor.

RP Example:

Abruptly, I woke up to the thunderous sound of an explosion. I quickly ran out into the trenches and see the otherwise blue sky covered in smoke. I peeked over the trench into No Man’s Land and see the ocean of lifeless young men; their fearful, dead eyes staring into the abyss. The cold and wet mud in my boots caused immense discomfort, but it was nothing compared to what was happening. The rotting corpses exuded the smell of death as it permeated the air. I saw Charon sailing down to hell, claiming the souls of the dead.

All I thought of was how much I wanted to go home, a place that I knew I will never see again. The repetitive, rapid, rhythmic firing of the machine guns chipped away at my sanity, and the ear-splitting sounds of the explosions reminded me of how close death was. War is truly hell, and all I could’ve done was stay there.

The battlefield was colorless. The grey, lifeless sky was polluted by the smoke of battle. Trees were felled with every blast of a mortar. Blood contaminated the rivers. The fear around me was so palpable that I could almost smell its foul stench. In one moment a man would be running, and in the next he would be in pieces. The things I saw were so horrible, even the Devil himself would surely scream in terror.

Ironic isn’t it? In just a brief glimpse of this terror, you could see humanity’s inhumanity. If God did create us in his image, why did he create this disaster? “War is sweet to those who know it not.” I finally know what that means. People in high places order the lower people to die for them. They don’t fight for their beliefs, that’s a job for us plebeians.

I heard the enemy tanks coming closer, stumbling through the dirt and my heart started to race. Beads of sweat started to slide down my forehead. I could’ve tried to run away, but that would’ve been pointless. I already knew that I was going to die. Then, out of nowhere, I heard the whistle. The whistle that signaled to go over the top. It felt as if time stood still. The fear of death conquered me and left me completely numb. I saw the other soldiers running out, and I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I saw everything around me. Limbs were flying straight off people’s bodies, and their haunting shrieks of agony were scorched into my memory. I trembled and shivered at the very thought of going over the trench. My heart pounded on my chest like a hammer on an anvil, but then I mustered the courage to go over the top.

I finally ran out into No Man’s Land and kept running. All the explosions and gunfire were reduced to a mere hum in my mind. I should have died right then and there, but my fear of death kept me alive. I knew that death was inevitable, but my human instincts kept me going, as much as I didn’t want to. My heart pounded faster than the gallop of a horse, and the sounds of the roaring explosions were embedded in my mind. I wish I could escape this infernal place, but all I can do is keep running.

The smoke cleared and I saw the enemy. I fired my rifle, killing one of them. I kept running for my life, thinking I can avoid death, but deep inside I knew that death will come. I stopped and took a look around me. I saw nothing but humanity’s failures. If God truly is in heaven, how can he let this happen here? Fine young men died with every passing moment, and I was going to join them. The enemy tanks started to come even closer, and I stood still. I had finally surrendered myself to death.

I do enjoy the number of self-proclaimed sith we have.

Almost makes me want to bring an old OC sith of mine into the mix just to try and whip them into shape..

Well Darth Imprious is the "Dark Lord" and therefore the most powerful Sith.
However, the entire One Sith order has splintered, so they really have no identified leader, until someone emerges to unify them.

Well this is my first RP on NationStates as I am new to this website. I do have prior RP experience on a Warhammer Discord Server, but I don't know what to put in the RP Example section. Also thanks, I tried to make my backstory have an unexpected turn. My explanation for that would be that they just thought that every Jedi had died.

[Ormata]

Justios, if you have no RP sample then write a story story sorta thing. It doesn't have to be massive, just big enough to determine ability.

Well I did start this detective story a couple days ago. I have the first few paragraphs of it. Will that suffice? Anyways here it is:
"Jean-Pierre Augustin was a strange man. The townsfolk knew him as the private investigator, but nobody really knew what he was truly like. To say that his mind was sharp would be an egregious understatement. He would complete complex calculations before bed as if they were crossword puzzles. He would perceive the most obscure details about anything. A person, a place, or even the scratches on an old frying pan. Those who have had the rare opportunity of conversing with him would call him a madman.

He was a fairly normal looking man. His dark hair was dishevelled, his eyes were brown and his mustache was twirled. He was never a particularly sharp dressed man, but he never dressed in rags either. He was slightly rotund and a bit taller than most other men. To a complete stranger, he would just be another ordinary person passing by.

Born in 1842 to a poor French woman and a Belgian immigrant, Jean-Pierre never had a conventional childhood. While the other children played on the streets, Jean-Pierre scrupulously studied in seclusion.

But there was always something off about him. He never perceived things as other people do. He claimed to have voices ringing in his head. His speech was always bizarre, combining random words and phrases to form sentences. If there was one word to describe Jean-Pierre, it would be “deranged”."
