Star Wars: Jedi Academy(OOC/Closed)

[Theyra]

-| Star Wars: Jedi Academy |-

---

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . .

^{Five years have passed since the Battle of Jakku} and the defeat of the Galactic Empire. The New Republic has begun the process of rebuilding the galaxy, and Luke Skywalker, hero of the Rebellion, has taken steps to restore the Jedi Order, creating a new Jedi Academy on the world of D’Qar. With him are the few Jedi Knights he has since trained in the ways of the Force, and together they and the next generation seek a new beginning of light where once there was only darkness.

Peace, however, is fragile, and the New Republic struggles to confirm its place amongst the galaxy, its power tenuous amidst a divided peoples. Hutt territory is expanding, the Imperial Remnant is steadfastly defiant, and the Dark Side lurks just out of sight.

The New Jedi Order is young, untested, but in the coming years the next generation of Jedi will take the mantle of protecting the galaxy as countless men and women have down for eons before. The Jedi Academy of D’Qar is merely the start, and should it succeed the Jedi will once again find their place in the Force. But first they must survive the trials ahead.

OVERVIEW

This is a reboot of my Jedi Academy rp. In this RP you will play as the first generation of Jedi recruits that are to be trained in the ways of the Force. You will start at the Jedi Academy on the planet D'Qar as apprentices. We will be using mainly Legends content but, some of the New Canon. The Jedi Knights that will be your teachers will be the Co-OP's and it will be two students to a Knight, however, if more students app than Knights then I will allow others to become Knights to compensate. All apprentices should have the core Force abilities, and for now, he will be using a temporary single, duel or double-bladed lightsaber unless you can come up a good reason to have a pre-existing lightsaber of any type. The color of the lightsaber for now should be blue or green. You can choose the color and the lightsaber type later at the end of Act 1. It is encouraged you make a original character rather then use a pre-existing character like Kyle Katarn.


Players have a two to three day grace period if they have not posted. If not, then they will be considered a npc till the player returns or if the player drops the rp.

FACTIONS

NEW REPUBLIC

Born from the rebellion, the New Republic has restored democratic function to the galaxy after many years of civil war, however, with the power vacuum left in the Empire's wake the fledgling government has yet to cement its place as the rightful authority. Currently the New Republic is attempting to rebuild worlds affected by the war. Coruscant is the capital with Mon Mothma being elected as the first Head of State.

NEW JEDI ORDER

Under the leadership of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, the Jedi Order has reformed with a handful of Knights to sow the path. After scouting for a location for which to construct a new academy the planet D'Qar was chosen. The small, abandoned Rebel outpost was reworked and has grown to a proper Jedi Academy complete with support staff. The New Jedi Order is young still but its destiny is laid out before it.

IMPERIAL REMNANT

What remained of the Galactic Empire following the Battle of Jakku retreated to the Outer Rim Territories, and though fractured remains a threat to the stability of the galaxy still recovering from war. Currently attempting to secure what few systems that remain under Imperial control and, rumor has it, infighting has led to internal conflicts that threaten a complete disintegration of the Empire, if not the rise of radical ideologies. Bastion is the capital with Vicvin Rownlov, a human male, being the last known leader of the Imperial Remnant.

HUTT CARTEL

Following the collapse of the Galactic Empire, and thus the oppression of criminal syndicates, the Hutts have greatly expanded their territory and, despite erring on the side of caution, have yet to be contested by the New Republic. This failure has led the cartel to take bolder actions in recent months. The current leader of the cartel is Tittu Sken after the death of Jabba.

Name: Luke Skywalker
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Species: Human

Appearance:

Luke stands at 5'7" (172cm) and weighs approximately 170 pounds (77kg). Thin, but solid. Light-coloured hair has darkened over the years, and after the stress of war and facing the Galactic Empire (among numerous other challenges) is showing some grey despite not yet being thirty years of age. Blue eyes. Has a cybernetic right hand after losing the limb to Darth Vader in their duel on Bespin in 3 ABY. Has several minor scars from years of fighting for the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

Rank: Jedi Master
Lightsaber:

• Luke's Lightsaber

Equipment:

• T-65B X-Wing Starfighter
• Astromech Droid (R2-D2)

Background:

Much is known about the life of Luke Skywalker following his rise as hero of the Rebel Alliance and, more importantly, his being the last Jedi. Born on Polis Massa (but raised on Tatooine) Luke would join the fight against the Galactic Empire following the death of his aunt and uncle and, discovering his destiny with the assistance of Obi-Wan Kenobi, would be instrumental in defeating Darth Vader and the Emperor in the coming years, taking part in the destruction of the Death Star, the Battle of Hoth, and the crucial turning point at the Battle of Endor. A symbol of hope in a galaxy clouded by darkness, Luke Skywalker was no doubt the greatest hero of the Galactic Civil War.

Following the death of the Emperor and the redemption of Darth Vader, Luke would step away from the conflict (which would continue until the Battle of Jakku in 5 ABY) and would go on to reform the Jedi Order. Although small in number, the first to be trained in the ways of the Force would immediately prove themselves in a galaxy unstable from war. These Jedi Knights, loyal to the Force and to the Light Side, would further serve as a beacon in the post-war years with Luke to guide them. However, a handful of Jedi, no matter how strong or righteous, was a far cry to the Order that had existed for millennia, and after much deliberation it was decided to form a Jedi Academy on the remote planet of D'Qar so that the next generation of Jedi could find their place in the Force. Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Knights beneath him would take it upon themselves to train the future of the Jedi so that peace would forever have a guardian in the Light. Currently he and his robot companion R2-D2 oversee the Jedi Academy alongside his apprentice Linea.

Skills:

• Luke is a skilled duelist, having perfected his own variation of Form V as well as being proficient in many others.
• Alternatively, Luke is a capable unarmed fighter and can shoot well enough.
• His connection to the Force has no equal and Luke is capable of utilizing many abilities that would take years for others to master from the physical (Force Jump, Heal, etc.) to the mental (Jedi Mind Trick, Force Sense, etc.).
• Calm, patient, and compassionate.
• A skilled starfighter pilot.
• Claims to know 17 common languages including Basic, Huttese, and Shyriiwook.

Weakness:

• In a twist of irony, Luke's biggest weakness is his compassion. A firm believer in redemption, and that most anyone can return from the path of the Dark Side, Luke has nearly lost his life on several occasions for allowing credible threats the chance to regain their strength, and though commendable this is likely to become a liability in the near future.

Name: Linea
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Species: Icarii

Appearance:

A near-human, Linea stands 5'0 (152cm) and weighs 93 pounds (42kg). Scrawny. Skin is a pale grey-blue, sickly almost. Has a youthful face that is more round than angular, sharp eyes reddish-brown in colour, with freckle-like splotches marking her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. Looks tired. Deep red hair is long and relatively straight with a slight wave.

Rank: Apprentice
Lightsaber: Training Lightsaber, Blue
Equipment: N/A

Background:

Linea was born on the planet Vestar four weeks after the end of the Icarii Campaign in 3 BBY, a short yet brutal conflict between the Icarii and the Galactic Empire that ended with the deployment of a biological agent that killed nearly all life on the planet, a genocidal solution brought about by heavy Imperial casualties. Although most Icarii were killed outright, some, including Linea's pregnant mother, would survive the initial deployment of the Imperial bioweapon if only due to genetic chance and luck, but regardless the species was rendered virtually extinct with only a handful of survivors remaining, and even then their numbers would decline sharply over the next few months as long-term complications ravaged those fortunate few to make it even this far. Despite the grave odds Linea would survive as the last child born to a dying people.

Life after such a catastrophe was beyond difficult. The once vibrant ecosystem of Vestar had been rendered near-desolate, shattered by the Empire. Fauna had disappeared, food was scarce, and sickness ran rampant (an aftereffect of the bioweapon). Linea, her mother, and several others would band together, and for several years would struggle to make it one more day if only to spite the Imperials that had brought ruin to their home, a bitterness that would lead the young girl down the path of hatred. A hatred for the state of the world. A hatred for an enemy she had never seen. A hatred that grew tenfold with the death of her mother from illness. The Icarii had long ago accepted their fate, but still they persisted, until eventually only one remained.

In 6 ABY, Luke Skywalker would travel to Vestar, a wound in the Force, seeking understanding in the tragedy that had begallen the planet as a means to further his own training as a Jedi. A faint echo in a dead world led Luke to discover Linea, recently made the last of her group of survivors following the death of her caretaker only days before, and after much persuasion the starving girl approached the Jedi of her own volition (after initially attacking the man with a rock and running away). Luke rescued the child, perhaps the last of her people, and would take her away from the planet that had been broken under the evil of the Empire, giving her a second chance at a life nearly robbed of her. Linea had spent all her life in suffering, and as a result darkness had found its way into her heart. The Jedi Master would set her down the path of light, and although emotional, and prone to outbursts of anger, Linea has shown vast improvements,
enough so that she can officially join the ranks of the Jedi. The girl will no doubt prove a difficult student, but should she find forgiveness, or else let go of her anger completely, then maybe she will undertaken the burden asked of her no worse for wear.

Skills:

• The Icarii were feared for the ability to survive dismemberment, a physiological trait that would lead to their initial success against Imperial stormtroopers. A heightened ability for regeneration allows Icarii to put themselves back together, however, this useful characteristic is not without flaws. Separated limbs (including the head) cannot survive for more than a few days before succumbing to basic needs (dehydration, starvation, exposure, etc.) and must be reattached as soon as possible. Detached limbs will remain unresponsive until neural pathways have been restored.

Weakness:

Darkness has seeped its way into the heart of the girl. Linea is prone to anger, holds grudges, and can generally come across as petty. She has not forgiven the Empire for its deeds against Vestar (and by extension she and her mother) and holds a general dislike for any individual associated with the Empire or Imperial Remnant regardless of who they may be.

• Linea is not a skilled fighter.
• Argumentative.
• Dislikes meditation or being still for long periods of time.
• Eats too much.

Name: Mala Rar

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Species: Rutian Twi’lek

Appearance:

Rank: Knight

Background: Mala's childhood was, by all accounts, one surrounded by poverty and despair. Her parents, who toiled endlessly in the infamous slave pits of Kessel, were hardly able to make ends meet to support themselves. More partners of convenience than anything, they had settled down to pool their meager resources and take comfort in each other’s company. The impending arrival of a child, let alone the challenges of raising an infant beneath the harsh yoke of their slave masters, made a long term relationship seem more like a prison sentence. While they weren't married, their relationship was a strained one for the duration of Mala's time with her parents, and she generally looks back on her childhood with a great deal of contempt. Her parents bickered and argued frequently over even the mundane things, and she was given the distinct impression that they were reluctant to admit they had a daughter. Though they were not physically abusive, their neglect fostered mistrust and encouraged Mala to become a social introvert.

As wretched as her home life was, she would soon find herself yearning for a return to the chaotic dysfunction of her youth. Shortly after her eleventh birthday, her family was visited by a Dark Jedi named Azahd, who sensed the girl's latent bond with the Force and promptly set about bartering for her life. Offering her parents a decent sum of credits in exchange, he promised their daughter the chance for a better life far from the suffocating misery of their home world. In truth, Mala's parents needed little convincing to pawn their burden, and eagerly agreed to the terms.

Although hardly a surprise, their betrayal still cut deep and would fester for years. Distraught and seething with resentment at having been so callously discarded by her own family, Mala grew into a stubborn and ill-tempered teenager with a taste for violence. Though she showed a great deal of potential with the Force, her training in such pursuits often took a back seat to her interest in the methods of combat, finding the raw, chaotic style of the Juyo form to be the perfect outlet for her anger and frustrations. Having spent a great deal of her developmental years toiling in the gloom of the slave pits, Mala had not been fortunate enough to be given a formal education, nor had she even learned how to speak Basic; having been forbidden to do so with the threat of execution. She was practically illiterate, and without the knowledge of Basic to openly express herself in any easy way, she was mocked and ridiculed by her peers. That was all except for one: a sympathetic young Echani named Cham.

The two quickly developed a close mutual friendship, if at first for no greater purpose than the necessity of survival. Life in the secretive Imperial program was paltry and cruel, and they quickly discovered that two heads were better than one. For her part, Cham taught Mala how to read and write, and with time even how to speak Basic. The experience gradually opened the young Twi’lek's eyes and gave her access to the world in ways she scarcely even dreamed of. She became more outspoken and developed a certain fondness for obscenities, finding such language allowed her to convey herself with little effort.

Even so, the pair knew they were playing with fire. Azahd was known for being extremely possessive of his students, and upon learning of their burgeoning friendship, flew into a violent rage. Both pupils were lucky to have escaped with their lives, but Mala certainly bore the brunt of her master's ire. She was severely beaten and subjected to sadism only someone on the dark side could dream up. For hours she was tormented before her Master finally, mercifully, left her for dead in harsh wilderness. Through a miracle of perseverance though, fueled by her intense and growing hatred for Azahd, she found the strength to cling to life, even if just barely. Hours would turn to days, and days to weeks before she finally managed to claw her way back to civilization, a girl apart from the one who had been given up for dead by those closest to her. Feeling betrayed that Cham had made no effort to search for her, Mala's animosity knew no bounds.

For Mala and the other students, coming of age under the thumb of those who walk the dark side was an experience unlike any other. At a time in life when most adolescents would be taking their first awkward steps into adulthood with the gentle guidance and comforting advice of their parents, Mala had found herself thrust into the midst of a blood fueled orgy with little more than her own wits for protection. Though, life with her parents, and her apprenticeship to Azahd, had mostly desensitized her to the degrading life of a slave.

A local slaver was the one that found Mala in the end. She was restored back to health, and almost immediately sold into slavery to one of the many Hutt Cartels. Jabba was her new master, and for several months Mala worked as an entertainer for Jabba and his clients. However, Luke Skywalker soon ended the grueling torment shortly after she’d entered Jabba’s service. While she hadn’t been on the pleasure barge when it had been destroyed, and Jabba slain, she was able to escape during the chaos that followed.

Months later, she was found by a Republic scouter in search of force sensitive individuals to join the New Jedi Order. Mala decided to take his offer so that she might repay her debt to Luke for freeing her. As one of the first to join the New Order, Mala has already attained the rank of Knight and has been one of the first to do so under the tutelage of Master Skywalker. Since then, Mala has done all she can to prove her worth to Master Skywalker and fight the powerful urges to return to the hedonistic ways of her past.

Equipment: A single Orange colored lightsaber, Distress Beacon, Wrist mounted Comm link, and a few hundred Credits

Skills:
Athletics: Flexible and quick, she is capable of sprinting great distances, squeezing in and out of difficult spaces, and handling most physically demanding tasks that come her way.

Combat: Mala was trained as an implement of war. As such she is a brawler who uses whatever weapon she has on hand to bludgeon, stab, slash or blast her way through the opposition. But, Mala certainly prefers a handy dandy lightsaber over anything else.

Name: Mell Bentley

Age: 34
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Appearance:

At 5’4” Mell is shorter than most due to, more than likely, genetics. He’s relatively skinny due to the lack in, say, credits in the early years of his life and later-on to his teenage years. As such Mell is nimble and fully capable of being flexible, though not at all to the point of professional contortionists. Mell’s musculature is relatively well-defined due to hauling equipment and fuel lines. His skin is relatively pale due to long years both in space and on rainy planets and the man’s hair is a deep brown.

Rank: Padawan
Background:

Born in 24 BBY on the world of Ukio, Mell would see his planet go to the CIS in the beginning years of the Clone Wars. His parents were simple farmers, though when the boy was just two his father would be drafted in the Ukian Defense Service as a AAA gunner. The man would later be killed during the Battle for Ukio in 21 BBY. Without her husband’s financial support, Mell’s mother would be unable to keep him, sending the boy away to his grandparents’ home. It was a quiet compared to some others as Mell was in the country or, in other terms, most of Ukio.

In 6 BBY, at the age of eighteen, Mell purchased his first vessel, an I-7 Howlrunner equipped with a Class 4 Hyperdrive. It was by no means the fastest vessel yet served the purpose well; he seriously wanted to get away from the agricultural world which was stifling and boring in such a monumental way. The fact that the young man had less than a respectful view towards authority, especially parental authority, did not help him along. He would fly to Arkanis where the mood shift was very, very severe with there being rain nearly always, at which point Mell took-on a job in cargo offloading at a local spaceport, all very exciting stuff to be sure.

It would be so exciting, in fact, that Mell would break the monotony by aiding in the arrest of five smugglers after he had found, through a small accident, their stowaway compartment. Being caught in, well, catching the smugglers, the young man somehow would incapacitate all five through the various uses of courage as he punched one, flexibility to wriggle out of another’s grasp, dignity when he did not sputter indignantly after being punched, and a malfunctioning droid with a faulty power relay. Essentially he electrocuted them with a very sad droid. Mell would be commended as employee of the month, whoop whoop.

Good times. Unfortunately his luck would not last as the man would, at age 19, be tasked with refuelling an older freighter that, due to the greater amount of internal restructuring, couldn’t be refuelled from the outside. As such, Mell was inside the vessel trying to get the coupling right when the ship suffered an unfortunate ‘accident’; the spaceport police had found about ten people dead and outright accused the vessel’s crew of performing the task. The fact that the ship began to run was a good indication of guilt. The fact that the ship began to run immediately once the fuel coupling was made was an unfortunate one.

The thing about ship couplings is that they are made for a variety of harsh conditions, from snow and ice to constantly erupting volcanos to the simple lack of heat, atmosphere, and gravity that exists in deep space. This was the latter, due to it’s expedient arrival, and so was both thick, strong, and held tight. The result was that, once the vessel began to fire her sublights, the coupling ripped-out a sizable hole in the freighter’s fuel tanks though did, to it’s credit, stay onto the fuel tank’s coupling. She crashed mere moments later. Mell was the only survivor. Sadly, due to the fact that he killed the spaceport supervisor’s pet Akk Dog, he would not be commended for employee of the month. Many tears were shed.

These twin events convinced Mell that perhaps spaceport servicing was not the best course of action and so he went to an auction, an Imperial Navy Reclamation Auction, and bought his second vessel. She was a recently pirate GAT-12 Skipray Blastboat, a small capital ship that only required slight rewiring along with a complete overhaul and, for some, removal of the comfortable furnishings of the vessel; when the Imperial Commandos took it they were not careful to mind the furniture, nor were the pirates considerate enough to splatter their brains somewhere else. Despite this, Mell could the vessel serviable and set-out on his own to make exploration.

Sadly enough he would make friends with pirates instead; they found the vessel rather easily due to it’s description and kindly would like it back, thanks very much. Mell to his credit disagreed and at the time opened-fire with the ship’s torpedos and missile systems and with a great deal of luck and wishing destroyed the small flotilla of two starfighters. It was a very big battle for obvious reasons. Obviously. Luckily for the young man the pirate, or at least one of them, had had a bounty on his head, granting him some 400 credits for the minor deed. Figuring that this might actually be a career, and a far better one than servicing freighters, Mell set-out to be a bounty hunter.

Aided by a lot of luck, he would pull-in more than a few targets and decide that perhaps it might not be such a great career after all; there was always competition. With options running depressingly low, Mell turned to one of the few organizations that was actively hiring for a job; the Rebellion. Enlisting as a bomber pilot in the 76th Irregulars, the man would fly his bomber with some semblance of pride, even getting her retrofitted to a degree. Alliance mechanics were rather good about that.

In his time with the Rebellion, Mell’s latent talents would be noticed by some, including one Skywalker. After his service across the battlefield where he was most useful, the man has since gone along with the Jedi to train and learn about this skill.

Sadly enough he would make friends with pirates instead; they found the vessel rather easily due to it’s description and kindly would like it back, thanks very much. Mell to his credit disagreed and at the time opened-fire with the ship’s torpedos and missile systems and with a great deal of luck and wishing destroyed the small flotilla of two starfighters. It was a very big battle for obvious reasons. Obviously. Luckily for the young man the pirate, or at least one of them, had had a bounty on his head, granting him some 400 credits for the minor deed. Figuring that this might actually be a career, and a far better one than servicing freighters, Mell set-out to be a bounty hunter.

Aided by a lot of luck, he would pull-in more than a few targets and decide that perhaps it might not be such a great career after all; there was always competition. With options running depressingly low, Mell turned to one of the few organizations that was actively hiring for a job; the Rebellion. Enlisting as a bomber pilot in the 76th Irregulars, the man would fly his bomber with some semblance of pride, even getting her retrofitted to a degree. Alliance mechanics were rather good about that.

In his time with the Rebellion, Mell’s latent talents would be noticed by some, including one Skywalker. After his service across the battlefield where he was most useful, the man has since gone along with the Jedi to train and learn about this skill.

I'll be apping for Xi again, if that's alright.
Just don't expect me to app soon, I'm having device problems and I'd rather not copy my old app by hand into the new one so I'm going to wait. Which could be anything from a few days to a few months, unfortunatly.

You can app as Xi again, you would just need to make some minor changes to the app. It is fine, just make a app when you are able to.

Or is this purely Jedi-based?
