Rayne, aka "Red Death" - Accepted

I do remember you Kulonia! We were in a few RPs I believe though I could not tell you exactly which ones.

Grandmaster Vosha - Accepted

Will be interesting to see how he interacts with Master Tar.

Ingade Turrnadare - Rejected

Unfortunately going to have to say no to this one at this time. The application could use some work - Ormata gave some excellent advice, particularly regarding the biography and general writing quality.

Feel free to keep tinkering with it and let me know when you think its been improved.

I'm caught up on the OOC thread now. Unfortunately couldn't get around to Discord this evening. Will be doing so early this week.

Huzzah! Looking forward to the interaction between Vosha and Tar as well. I suspect they may somewhat butt heads on matters...he's slightly disapproving of the orthodoxy, after all.

If you're OK with it I'd be willing to start setting up the Discord sometime tomorrow.

For Force Users
Name: Nepheru Hryoc

Appearance: Bird Person

Species: Kul'Tarazi

Gender: A Man

Age: 70 (roughly early thirties in the standards of his race)

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Allegiance Paid to: The Jedi Order/Galactic Republic

Title/Occupation: Jedi Master

Skills/Powers:
As a Jedi Guardian and master, Nepheru is a well-versed practitioner of the Force, maintaining a strong focus on offensive techniques, though he never truly abandons defensive measures. His most noticeable Force ability is telekinesis, which is powerful enough for him to use light vehicles (such as grav cars) as projectiles with moderate effort. As part of his duties as a keeper of the peace, Nepheru wields Mind Probe, Mind Tricks, and Force Stasis, the latter of which can slow down incoming projectiles. He is also a prodigious user of Precognition, which enhances his dueling ability. Plus, he augments the already speedy nature of his species with the power of the Force, and erects force barriers to lessen damage to himself.

Out of the various lightsaber forms, Nepheru favors Form IV, also known as Ataru. Because of the nature of his race, Nepheru lacks raw strength, compensating by overwhelming the senses and defenses of his opponent with the swift attacks of Ataru.

Weaponry: Blue lightsaber, Illum

Ship: Glorious Ascension, a modified Praetorian Class Frigate with most of its turbolasers removed. It has a compliment of 6 Star Saber XC-01 starfighters and 6 shuttles

Personality and Traits: Nepheru possesses a sarcastic wit and a dry sense of humor, which has mixed results when it comes to his peers in the Order. Some feel somewhat irritated or even angered by how casual Nepheru seems, while others find his less rigid ways to be a breath of fresh air. Nevertheless, Nepheru is dedicated and loyal to the objectives of the Order, and in extension, the Republic.

On top of all that, Nepheru is a meticulous planner, preferring to think over every potential engagement and counter-engagement. His padawans have said that Nepheru has contingencies in his pocket, which is quite literal in the sense that he's written down a handbook of potential scenarios and the ways to deal with them (and it's expanding with every new encounter). Some of them appear to be vague and unhelpful, while a few others, such as "use the environment to your favor" or "disrupt your opponent's balance" are retellings of basic teachings. With all this in mind, Nepheru seems to have a pathological need of writing everything down.

Biography: Nepheru was born aboard the modified freighter Intrepid, which had been traveling across the galaxy for years. Unfortunately, he would be abandoned shortly after birth when the ship landed on Coruscant, leaving the infant stranded on the streets. It would be a Jedi Sentinel that came across the infant when her Force Sense guided her to him. Nepheru would then be brought to the Jedi Temple, and due to having no name at the name to know him by, the Jedi simply picked a name from the archives and chose Nepheru Hryoc as his moniker.

As a youngling, Nepheru would be seen by his instructors as single minded and obsessive. When he set his mind to a specific goal, he'd expend great effort to reach it, whether or not it was realistic. It would be through these eclectic goals and objectives would his true aptitudes be discovered. Nepheru's skill in dueling and telekinetic prowess would be well noted, and the late Master Yi Wuju would take Nepheru as his padawan.

During his years as a padawan, Nepheru's strengths would be molded towards a healthy direction, while his less than desired traits would be slowly cut away under the strict but close tutelage of Master Yi Wuju. Their relationship continued to be close, even after Nepheru attained the rank of Knight and took on his own padawan, Sarviel Goras. Nepheru and Yi would often bicker, with a healthy dose of sarcasm and dry humor between the two.

As the years passed, Nepheru would train more padawans and attain the rank of Master. Notably, he would be distraught at the passing of Master Yi, as they've maintained a close bond. However, he adhered to the Code, and did not allow it to interfere with his work as a master of the Order.He then continued his duties to the Jedi Order as a Guardian, cooperating with law enforcement in the Outer Rim territories to maintain order in the frontier. Nepheru would garner a reputation of compassion and empathy, as he would speak with the detained and often find out that they're simply trying to survive. He always gave second chances, a fact that his padawans would be very relieved by.

Nevertheless, it would be his obsessive nature and less-than-conventional thinking that caused him to butt heads with the Council. When Peri Beldan proposed that the Sith might have survived the Battle of Ruusan, Nepheru was one of the few Masters that considered her words rather than disbelieve or ridicule them. It would turn out that the proposal had ignited a spark within the Master. The survival of the Sith was a question that burned within him, and he won't rest until it's been answered.

For Non-Force Users
Name: Sarwyck Gillian

Appearance: The Senator of Abrion Major has fair skin with black hair and beard and runes branded into his face as the tradition in his family goes. He dresses in the finest silks he can afford, bought on Coruscant. He is of average build but more on the lean side. He has a stern face but a charming smile with stunning white teeth.

Species: Human

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Allegiance Paid to: Abrion Major, The Republic, Himself

Title/Occupation: Senator of Abrion Major

Skills/Powers: Diplomacy: Sarwyck has favored diplomacy to try and secure a better future for his minor member-world of the Republic. Intrigue: The Senator has quickly learned the ways of political scheming to work his way up the ladder in the Senate. Self defense: Due to the dangers of being a Senator, Sarwyck has paid bounty hunters to train him in case he is the target of an ambush or assassination; his knowledge of self defense seems to be basic hand-to-hand combat, minor sword play, and firearm training. Leadership: Gillian has inspired the local people of Abrion Major to support him in his political endeavors; His planet would widely support him if he decided to try for Supreme Chancellor one day, although he seems mainly uninterested in the role, choosing to instead support the current Chancellor, whoever it may be.

Weaponry: Hold-out blaster pistol, his quick thinking and smarts

Ship: His X-70B Phantom-class starship, although intended for stealth, he merely likes how fancy and elegant it looks.

Personality and Traits: A newcomer in the Galactic Senate, Sarwyck Gillian is quick thinking, clever, cunning, vain, and self-centered. He has managed to convince his people and many other Senators that he cares for his planet and the Republic when he mostly cares for himself. Many have known him to be cruel but kind when he needs to be. His astonishingly quick rise to power in the Senate has made many others envious and he's let the fame get to his head. Sarwyck will not hesitate to make deals with other Senators or to form alliances, usually for his own personal gain. Gillian chooses to focus on being sycophantic to the Chancellor and his superiors over truly helping his people. He thinks of his people as dull and boring, backwards farmers on an agricultural backwater, but does have pride for his home world.

Biography: Sarwyck Gillian was born on Abrion Major, a backwater planet of the Republic to a family of farmers. From an early age, he showed great intelligence and leadership, with his father allowing him to plan harvests and come up with new ideas for crop growth. The boy aspired to be more than a farmer on an unimportant world. As soon as he was 18 he head to the capital, where he befriended the former Senator of his planet and entered into the local politics of the world. At the age of 25, he became an assistant to the new Senator of Abrion Major and studied the ways of the political world. When Sarwyck was 30, the current Senator of the world retired from politics to pursue the life of a peaceful farmer on the agriworld. With a vacancy of the position, Gillian put forth his name as an unknown candidate for the position and was surprisingly chosen to lead his people. His promises to his people were great, declaring that he would bring prosperity to the entire Abrion sector. After a year of negotiating, Gillian brought many corporations to the sector, persuading the Commerce Guild to set up operations on the capital world. The Guild absorbed many smaller companies on the world and made it more prosperous overall, the greatest feat in Gillian's young career. Riding off of this success, Sarwyck earned a little fame in the Senate and quickly made his image that of a wealthy businessman, not of a formerly poor farmer like he really was. After a few minor alliances, Gillian turned his efforts towards getting in the Supreme Chancellor's circle and good graces. He played off the ambitions to truly make a peaceful galaxy, but his desire is for personal gain. He advocates for stronger powers being granted back to the Chancellor and plans a proposal to overturn the effects of the Ruusan Reformation, not without popular and political support.

Damien Branwell, Lord of Understone Keep

Damien felt a thud as the Red Viper's lance caved in his breastplate. The impact sent Damien flying off his horse! He removed his helm and ran his fingers over his caved in armor. "Now I know how Rhaegar felt," thought Damien as he smiled at Oberyn, who was enjoying his win. Martell's squire helped up Damien. Branwell smiled and nodded at him as he and his squire retrieved the Lord's Horse. As they walked back to their tent, Damien started undoing his armor, chest first. Ouch. Branwell's armor had left a small wound in his chest. "I need a bandage." The squire nodded at the command and used Branwell's dagger to cut a piece of cloth and wrap it around the Westerman. "Thank you, my boy." Lord Branwell dismissed the squire as he poured himself a goblet of wine. Not Arbor red, but it'd do. Not that Damien had tasted Arbor red, anyway.


The next bout was up. Damien didn't bother paying attention. He lost. He was worried about sweet, little Tyb. He'd usually have gotten a reply. The boy always wrote to his father. Branwell joked to himself, "Maybe they ran out of ravens," and let out a small laugh. He still scanned for his liege lord Tywin. Damien didn't even know if the Marbrands, his overseers, bothered to come to the capital. "I need a walk. I probably won't be let in the Red Keep. Maybe the Gardens." Branwell took the rest of the wine and poured it into his cup. He walked down the street and passed by the blacksmith. "Nice helm," said Damien as he walked by a black haired boy who was working on a bull's helmet. He neared the tavern he was staying at. As he walked into his room, he took one of his ravens he kept in his cage. He took out parchment and ink, intending to write to Tybalt, over in Lannisport, to see if he was well. Branwell finished the letter, signed it, and sealed it with wax and his seal. He sent it out towards the Westerlands.




Tybalt Branwell, Heir to Understone Keep

The Gold Road, Near Ashemark, The Westerlands





Tyb tossed and turned. He couldn't sleep. What if the Lannisters were coming? What if Tywin got a hold of Father? Tybalt asked himself these questions over and over. He quickly got up and walked outside. "Men, get up. We must get going. We'll get home sooner! You never know when the Lannisport men will be coming!" The men reluctantly got up, got dressed, and packed up. It was still late afternoon. As they started back on the road, they saw the Branwell lion on the shield of a small party of men. A patrol.

For Non-Force Users
Name: Jarden Sirilyus-Jas
Appearenc:
Image

Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 48
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Allegiance Paid to: The Commerce Guild
Title/Occupation: Presidente of the Commerce Guild, Chief Executive of Siril-Tech Industries, Lord of the planet of Cremo near the Daalang system.
Skills/Powers:
  • Charisma In Chief: Jarden grew in opulence but despite that he manages to appeal to even the most dignified of people and the lowest of the low as well, his ability to mingle among all corners of society has earned him favor with a bit of everything among the galaxy. This is in large part how he managed to rise to become the Presidente of the Commerce Guild.
  • Calculation at every moment: Jarden grew his business and power base through knowledge of various wider galactic issues and as such through this knowledge he was able to asses and adjust his banking portfolio accordingly, it is with this in mind that he is makes a habit to know as much about people, clients, planets and the wider events around the galaxy in order to properly prepare for any eventuality.
  • Resources within his grasp: Jarden has access to not only his own fortune but to a wide assortment of mercenaries, bounty hunters and personal agents who he uses to do his bidding in the protection of his business and the interests of the up and coming commerce guild.
Weaponry: Defender sporting blaster pistol
Ship: Blastoff-class pleasure yacht model X10 The Impotent
Personality and Traits: Jarden likes to think of himself as a pragmatic and direct man of business, he considers every possible aspect of any deal, trade or agreement he comes by but he also fashions himself as a man who can see easily see reason and opposing views although more often than not he seeks the most favorable outcome for himself and the commerce guild. In Recent years the Republic has become a growing thorn on his side with attempts at regulation and as such he is less likely to partake in any escapade aiming at aiding the Republic in any major way that might hurt the Guild's bottom line.
Biography:

Born on the little known System of Cremo, Jarden grew to a well off family that had been one of the first settlers of the Cremo Prime. Despite his rather opulent origins Jarden took a keen interest in the simpler life of his subjects within the town of Ardinia which was a small yet paradisal lordship which worked the land for commodities such as fine silks and mining for rare minerals to ship to Daalang. Throughout his youth Jarden became interested in galactic history and learned more about the Galactic Republic, the Ruusan Reformation, the various wars between the republic and the Sith Empires of old and just how expansive the history of the galaxy was, he saw immense wealth in knowledge as he would constantly outdo his various tutors by virtue of reading on in the various materials given to him. Jarden truly grew to be a prodigy in terms of knowledge of the galaxies different cultures, systems and its rich history.

Once in early adulthood, Jarden took on a likeness to traveling around the galaxy as his father would go on multiple trips around the galaxy towards the commerce congress of the Guild which began to take prominence quite quickly around the galaxy. Jarden took notice of how despite his families relative fortune, they were still considered subpar compared to the other families and conglomerates of other sectors of the galaxy and as such came to envy the elites of the higher society of the galaxy, especially those in rule of Cremo who seemed to be more interested in selling off the richness of the system for meager scraps and not use it to truly bring Cremo to a better future. As he took the mantle of Earl of Ardinia like his father before him Jarden was quite different from previous rulers of the area, he would dwell often around the commoners and would take time to listen to their grievances, this became popular knowledge around the planet and left many of the ruling families perplexed as to why Jarden would do such. Things took a fortune for the better for the Ardinian Earldom as deposits of precious minerals were found within their land and despite attempts by the families of Cremo to take it over the Ardinian Earldom maintained its economic independence thanks to Jardens steadfastness and his unwillingness to bow down to the other families and most especially to the Lord of Cremo whom he openly defied as weak and uncaring for the people. As news of Jarden's defiance grew so did the families disdain for him as their subjects would begin to demand better treatment like that of the Ardinians. It was clear that something had to be done about this up and coming noble.

The Cremo Schism was a short lived conflict which saw the Supreme Lord of Cremo Valtasar Delfanius of Halax assemble an army of loyalist houses and marched down to the Ardinian domain with the goal of bringing down the young and problematic Jarden and once more cement his grip on the planet for his own richness. Little did Delfanius know that Jarden had been warned ahead of time by a dissenting member of the Lord's army and had been given ample time to prepare the valley of Ardinia for the attack. As the army of Lord Delfanius marched across the forests and hills their hover tanks made them easy to detect as the smaller more meanable forces of Jarden and fell upon an ambush at the Ardinian Ridge of Wells, the battle was blood for the Lord's forces as his tanks were decimated and his soldiers surrendered in mass at the overwhelming Ardinian attack. With the majority of the Lord's forces eliminated and having gained momentum Jarden took the opportunity to send a call to arms to all other towns and nobles of Cremo, calling for an armed struggle against the corrupt Lord who had so treacherously attempted to slaughter his own people. Jarden soon found himself leading an army against the Capital city of Cramtora with thousands of of his soldiers storming the gates of the city the Earl himself led the charge. Soon after the rebel forces saw the Lord lock himself in the citadel of Cramtora with his remaining forces, the fortress was impenetrable by all means and as such Jarden's forces would lay siege to it with little results.

Knowing that Delfanius would have certainly call for help from the Commerce guild or the Republic and that his forces could not sustain a protracted siege Jarden led a small group of his own men to infiltrate the citadel through ancient underground tunnels infested by Juglar Serpents, distant cousins of the infamous Dragonsnakes of Nal Hutta. The mission saw Jarden suffer casualties from his own men trying to keep him alive up until him and only a few remaining soldiers pierced through the beasts and got inside the citadel. The soldiers were task with turning down the shield layer protecting the citadel while Jarden went off to confront Delfanius himself. As the shield wall came down the rebel forces of Cremo stormed the building and quickly dispatched and took captive all remaining forces loyal to the Lord, meanwhile Jarden exited the high top of the citadel with blood on his hands and a stoic expression, he proclaimed the death of the tyrant Delfanius and the planet of Cremo had freed itself from a corrupt and incompetent ruler once and for all. Soon after the houses of Cremo passed down the mantle of Lord to Jarden who had proven himself a capable leader and by the will of a people's referendum the choice of Jarden as Lord of Cremo was official.

Not all crises ended for the planet however, in the years that followed Jarden saw just how abusive and one sided the Commerce's guild relationship was to Cremo and other smaller systems in regards to trade routes, tariffs on exports and imports and most importantly the Republic's inaction at the whole thing. As such Jarden would take up Delfaniu's corporate control of the Cremo Interests Corp and merge it with his own family's exporting company and as such gain a seat in the Commerce Guild's lower council. Through the years Jarden exploited connections and built up favor with the lower corps until gaining notoriety from the High Commerce Conuncil and the Presidente himself, Jollus Yue who took Jarden under his wing and soon after at the ripe age of 45 Jarden took office as the Presidente of the Commerce Guild, the first of the lower council to do so. His tenure has been a short one but Jarden has committed himself to making commerce opportunities available to all and to act as enforcer of rules and principles that the Republic would not do, if that means taking up its duties as a governing body then so be it.

For Force Users
Name: Vazan 'Zan' Riese
Appearance:
Image

Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Allegiance Paid to: The Jedi Order
Title/Occupation: Jedi Knight
Skills/Powers:
Duelist: Zan was trained by the Jedi masters to fight using his lightsaber and not just rely on the force for everything. Even though he was trained in lightsaber form 1, Zan learned how to use lightsaber form 2 and lightsaber form 4, which are more aggressive and considered unnecessary by most Jedi masters considering that the Sith are "gone" already.

Mind Trick: Although none of the Jedi masters taught him to do mind tricks, Zan decided to learn how to do them by himself, which might be useful for interrogations.

Force Lightning: Zan masters the ability to use force lightning, although he hasn't used it since he learned how to use it.

Weaponry: Curved-hilt lightsaber (purple crystal)

Ship: (If Any) -
Personality and Traits:
Stubborn
Zan is a stubborn man who always wants to go by his plan and usually disagrees with others' plans.

Curious
Zan always wants to learn about many things, even though someone stands in his way.

Kind
Zan was a cold man after he lost his father. However, when he finally recovered from his devastation, he became more kind to others, especially to people with intact families.

Cunning
Zan can think of many crazy and tricky plans, which has been quite useful for him in the past.

Biography: Vazan Riese was born into a simple family in Alderaan. His father is a well-off man who works as a merchant, although his mother died 3 days after Zan and his twin brother were born. A year after his birth, they moved to Coruscant to start a new life. Sometimes their father took them outside to accompany him and to have a look at the galaxy's capital. They live a peaceful four-year life, even though they have lost their mother back in Alderaan. That is, until one day, a stranger approached them and told Zan's father that he sensed the presence of the force in Zan and didn't want it to be used for evil purposes. His father and the guy were having a long argument before Zan's father allowed the man to take Zan with him. He was taken to the Jedi Temple. He was young at the time, but he can still remember the first time he entered the Jedi Temple.

Zan was a curious and passionate youngling, willing to learn many things in order to satisfy his curiosity. He mastered the ability of lightsaber wielding at the age of 6, and he was chosen to be a padawan of Master Finnis Zairan at the age of 9. Finnis was a calm Jedi, willing to teach Zan everything he knew. They eventually become close friends. They always go together, telling stories about their experiences, and sometimes they have conversations with the galactic citizens. Although Zan learned about the more aggressive lightsaber forms, his master decided that it would be wise for Zan to learn the more aggressive lightsaber form. They were close friends until Zan reached the age of 19, when he became a Jedi knight. At first, their relationship was still as good as it used to be, but when Zan heard that his father had been killed by a smuggler, he lost his old self. His personality was becoming colder. Now his twin brother is the only family he has left. Finnis is worried that Zan might use his ability for things the Jedi shouldn't have done, but so far Zan hasn't used it to do bad things. He's still kind to those in need of help, but he's not interested in long conversations anymore.

As time went on, some Jedi Masters claimed that Zan was not yet ready to become a Jedi Knight and that Finnis needed to teach him more about being calm and being patient. However, after they heard that Zan had delivered his brother far away from Coruscant to find a safer place, Zan's old personality slowly returned. Once Zan realized that he might become a bit crazy when his father died, he also realized that it's not easy to control his anger and that a Jedi might turn into a Sith, returning the old Sith Empire, or maybe somewhere in the galaxy, they still exist.

RP Example:
Ray could hear radio chatter from his police radio while he was driving towards San Francisco. From what his friends said, many things did happen, but not around his location; in fact, most came from the other side of the state. While he was driving, he decided to take a sip from his cup of coffee. He's not far away from San Francisco.

He reached San Francisco in the afternoon. Ray decided to refill the fuel in his car and buy himself a meal. He goes to the nearest gas station and buys some fuel before heading to Birdsong. He decided to have his food and drink packed because he had to go on patrol again. He drive for hours, through Highway 680, Highway 580, and Route 101 until he reached the Olompali State Park. He saw something strange in the park, and he decided to see what was there. He took his Glock and his flashlight to see what was in there.

He didn't find anything, although on his way back to his car, he saw some footprints. Before he could follow the footprints, he got a call from his radio. "153, a stolen Ford F150 is heading towards your position at a speed of 90 mph, 10-80. Assistance required." Ray goes back towards his car. He opened the car's trunk, taking spike strips from it, and prepared to close the road with them. Car after car passed through his location until the road was empty. He can see 3 cars approaching his place: 2 sheriff cruisers and a Ford F150. He immediately rolled the spike strips out, popping the car's tires, and the car was losing control.

The car stopped by the road as another state trooper car arrived from the other side of the road to block every possible escape route. Ray took his taser out, slowly approaching the car. The driver's door was opened, and he aimed towards it. A man got out of the car, putting his hands in the air as soon as he realized there was no way he could escape. Ray cuffed the man, and then searching for any weapons on the man. "Is there any other guy in the car?" Ray asked. "No," the man answered. Ray gave the other officers a signal to check the car, while he handed the man to a sheriff's deputy. "Take him to the nearest jail," he said to the deputy, "we've got this covered." "Will be done," the deputy replied. He took the man from Ray, putting the man inside his Ford Explorer interceptor. "There's no one in the car," a state police officer said to Ray. "All right then," Ray replied, "call the DoT to tow this car, fix it, and take it to the nearest police department or sheriff's office." "For now, we should move the car off the road." They removed the car from the road, and minutes later, the DoT arrived to tow the car. They were dismissed. Ray is the last to leave the place because he's still curious about what actually happened in the park. He decided to search for the footprints, but they were gone. He returned to his car and went back on patrol.

"Maybe I'm just tired," Ray said to himself while driving his car, "Maybe...."

Honestly, all of the above. Criminal elements would probably work well, though I'd personally avoid anything further-out (Such as Rhen Var) since a lot will likely revolve around the Core and Colonies region. Judicial Forces would be interesting, since they're relatively new as an organization and likely are still experiencing some factionalism due to various PDFs and the like.

Cato Epictetus Seneca

Postby New Luciannova » Mon Feb 06, 2023 12:21 am

Hi, I probably need some help ensureing this is in compliance with the lore and rules, but I thought of creating this character.
For Force Users
Name: Cato Epictetus Seneca
Appearance: Similar to Yoda, buy younger and more grey in appearance. Wears a black cloak like a Dominican Friar.
Species: I kind of want someone from Yoda’s species, or a cousin of it
Gender: Male
Age: 370
Sexuality: Heterosexual, but celibate
Allegiance Paid to: Jedi Order
Title/Occupation: (If Any) Former slave (and since underground RR type of figure), Jedi Master. Philosopher and legal scholar.

Skills/Powers: In addition to typical Jedi Powers, Seneca’s lighsabre is very distinct and splits into two weapons he can wield. He is very talented at his unique style of swordplay and this unique trait often comes as a surprise to many. He has a finesse style.
He has telekinesis, mind-trick, force augmentation, and all standard abilities. He has been tempted by the dark side of the force, hearing of its potential, but has rejected it.
Cato Epictetus Seneca is able to go into a trance like state and become almost one with the force in the universe, at least to some extent. However this does consume a lot of energy and he often needs time to recover after this. Epictetus is considered very wise to the point of genius and is without any real fears, but is very cautious.
Cato is an expert on law and history and the way of the Jedi and rigidly adheres to the code.

Weaponry: Cato has a light Sabre that is green in color and can be used as a single weapon, which he uses like a standard rapier, or split into two swords, which he can use effectively. Cato oddly enough likes firearms and blasters and conceals one on his person.

Ship: Epictetus has a ship he calls “The Freeman’s Passage.” It is a former slaving ship that resembles a cargo ship, but previously is from his underground RR days.

Personality and Traits: Epictetus Seneca is often seen as cold, emotionless, and quiet. He, however, has a keen mind, and strong views and opinions. He follows the code he was taught and generally follows that perfectly. He states that no man is my master and has a rebellious streak, from his days as a slave. He is an expert on ethics and follows them scrupulously.
When is does have something to say he is a strong orator, and is persuasive. In casual conversation, while he often has little interest in small-talk he can be quite cheerful and gregarious and even has a sense of humor.
He loathes the dark side to a unique degree, despite respecting its power, he states that in pursuit one loses himself, buried under anger, rage, sorrow, and fear. He sees a man mastered by emotions as weak and has little respect for those dominated by them.

Biography:
Born a slave, or at least one since a very young age, Cato Epictetus Seneca showed keen intellect and some control over the force he hid while in bondage.
He was fearless and emotionless from a young age. Two slave breakers left the trade entirely after he refused to respond to their beatings and another he even counseled afterwards and helped him change his ways.
He had an opportunity to escape when his master was attacked by raiders, but chose to rescue his young son instead and return to servitude. His master didn’t immediately grant him freedom, but he began to receive special privileges and was more a respected servant from that day forward. His master ultimately did grant him his freedom and helped him become educated.
In freedom, while studying law and philosophy and helping other slaves escape to freedom quietly, he realized that the unique talents he had were actually manifestations of the force. He joined the rebellion and sought out Jedi masters, it took a lot of effort and required he show his intellectual and oratorical skills, but he was able to eventually find a sponsor for training. He was late in training, but ultimately earned it.
His trance ability was seen as very unique and his light saber showed a knack for the unconventional, and he was seen as a master strategist and expert on ethical rules and earned himself a place on the council.
He often walks out of meetings that he feels are either unproductive or where he feels he is being ignored or poor decisions are occurring.

RP Example: I’ve DMed and been a PC in D&D before..
Theme: Gregorian Chant
Notes: None currently.

Due to minor issues with getting in contact with Jedi Council after several attempts, I'll be assuming the role of OP.

Roster has been made and put up here and I've relinquished control of Knight Cartha and Padawan Hiht due to possible conflicts of interest and my own ineptitudes in life.

Well, what sort of character do you want to play? Start from that basis. It looks like we'll have a good amount of political intrigue and strategy. Could start there. The investigation into Sith activities could also present opportunities for private investigators, Republic Judicial Forces, and so on. An archeologist could also be interesting, especially in the wake of the New Sith Wars.

With that out of the way...

Denied. It's a good foundation, but there are a number of things worth fixing before acceptance.
  • How did he receive his facial scars? If that's not a part of his character, then please make notations of that in the appearance section.
  • Force Lightning is a Dark Side power. Force Judgement would be the light side equal, though would not work currently as it requires "a sense of determined justice". It's also really quite hard to learn and is likely a "Forbidden Power". If he did learn it, please make notations of that in the biography.
  • Please make some expansion of the personality into something more than bullet points. How does he approach situations, issues, events? How does he process grief or does he not? How does he deal with people in general? You state that he's curious, "even though someone stands in his way". How does he then find information?
  • "Although Zan learned about the more aggressive lightsaber forms, his master decided that it would be wise for Zan to learn the more aggressive lightsaber form."
  • Jedi, with only a few specific exceptions, do not maintain contact with their family and are not told of passings. Who told Zan of his father's death? Why? For that matter, why did Master Finnis fail at the most basic of grief counseling?
  • Why and how did he maintain contact with his twin brother?
  • "Once Zan realized that he might become a bit crazy when his father died, he also realized that it's not easy to control his anger and that a Jedi might turn into a Sith, returning the old Sith Empire, or maybe somewhere in the galaxy, they still exist."
    What did he then do with that realization? Did he decide to control his own anger, to learn how to process it? Did he decide his anger could be a burning brand against the Sith? Did he...what?

Denied. Creative as it may be, as it so far stands the application holds some issues.
  • In what way is his style of lightsaber combat unique? "...one with the force in the universe..." What, precisely, does this mean?
  • In what way does his single bladed lightsaber detach into two separate blades? He carries a "firearm". Is this a blaster of some sort?
  • He appears cold, emotionless, quiet, yet is a "strong orator". He follows the Jedi Code rigidly, yet carries a firearm and has a "rebellious streak". He does not engage in casual conversation and small talk, yet is cheerful, gregarious, and has a sense of humor. Overall, Cato is full of contradictions as a personality in such a way that one statement does not permit the others.
  • I would say that, generally speaking, slave drivers in Star Wars are pretty adept at their trade and would have likely either gotten the small being addicted to Glitterstim / some other narcotic as a way of controlling him or have, more likely, beaten him to death for not obeying.
  • Who was Cato's master?
  • He had a young son? When? With who? How? That should probably be talked about a good bit more than it is. How old was Cato at the time? How young was the son? What is his son's name? For that matter, he's not mentioned anywhere else. What happened to the son?
  • Why did he receive special privileges following his return to slavery? What view did the other slaves have upon such a return. Who was he respected by as a slave? How old was Cato when he was granted his freedom?
  • "...he realized that the unique talents he had were actually manifestations of the force." What unique talents were these?
  • "...He joined the rebellion..." What rebellion? Where? Against who? Why were Jedi Masters involved in such a thing and why did he require a sponsor?
  • "...was seen as a master strategist..." That's not at all listed in his skills. In what way was he a master strategist? Against who?
  • The biography completely ignores the New Sith Wars, with which Cato would have been intimately involved in as he was alive during that period.
