CALM BEFORE THE STORM
THE SETTING: WAR'S END
It is 1000 YEARS BEFORE THE BATTLE OF YAVIN. The NEW SITH EMPIRE has been defeated and the RUUSAN REFORMATION has come to pass- as the republic demilitarizes and the Galaxy begins to rebuild after a war that cost 2/3rds of the known galaxy's population many do not yet know- but this is the start of a golden age in the REPUBLIC. The ARMY OF LIGHT is to be disbanded, the JEDI are to become keepers of the peace and guardians of Justice- the emergence of the JEDI COUNCIL is at hand as the REPUBLIC reforms and the people rebuild.
For those whom the wars became a focus of life the future is- one of decision. Where do you go now? When life has been so focused on war for 1000 YEARS finding a place in this era of peace poses a challenge to some- and an opportunity for others.
PLAYER CHARACTERS
Players can take on the role of a character from anywhere in the galaxy (even ones from this era they have not designed) though they should be mindful of the galaxy's situation when designing characters and also of characters not of their design they are portraying.
There are however some rules;
- Only sentient species for player characters, pets and owned droids are an exception that should be included in the character sheet of your character.
- Meta-Gaming is discouraged, though certain force users may if narratively viable for the situation be allowed moments of liberty regarding such.
- Due to the Rule of Two players are unfortunately unable to play a Sith though other darksiders are permitted.
The Character Sheet is not only my reference as the RP's operator for the purpose of generating a plot and interacting with the character but also designed to encourage character growth, development, and dimensionalism. It's just as important for you to keep it updated as it is for me to reference it. It is after all what other players will look upon to consider interaction as well.
Note: Remove text in "( )" and note that the questions under the 'HISTORY' section are more suggestion then required information. You don't have to state it all just yet and will likely update the history as you develop the character during the RP.
- Code: Select all
[b]NAME[/b]: (character's name here)
[b]SPECIES[/b]: (Is the character Human or not Human and if not Human what are they?)
[b]APPEARANCE[/b]: (an image or a description)
[b]HISTORY[/b]: (Where was your character born, what was the social and economic environment like growing up? Who were your character's parents, how is the character's relationship with their parents or how was the relationship? Is the character still there or have they left and if so why did they leave and in leaving what did they leave behind? Why did they leave it behind? What do they wont? Do they have some grand objective- to be the captain of their own freighter or to return to claim a lost title of nobility when the time is ripe. Not every character has an objective- nor will the objective remain the same. Life has ways of causing one to change their plans.)
[b]EQUIPMENT[/b]: (saber, comlink, etc)
[b]MANNERISM[/b]:
(Mannerisms are habits or practices such as for example people on Earth saying 'Bless you' after someone sneezes. It's things the character does without thinking that are usually very minor but add to the character- at times mannerisms can tell a story of their own. Perhaps the character has a tattoo on the back of their hand that they rub when nervous....)
[b]WORLD VIEW[/b]:
(World View is how a character views themselves and others in the world- it's anything ranging from 'group x is terrible and group y is great' to 'the exchange of ideas is crucial in universal understanding and the advancement of society'. World View can be summed up though as how the character sees those around them in relation to themselves. Researching such will also benefit you the player in understanding what role you have taken upon yourself to portray)
[b]PAIN POINTS[/b]:
(Pain Points are activities the character refuses to get engage in or finds the greatest difficulty engaging in. It's the sights that the character will attempt to avoid or the topics that they don't want to discuss)
[list][*]list[/list]
[b]DESIRES[/b]:
(Desires are the opposite of Pain Points- they are the activities your character seeks out and the reactions they relish. It's as mild as seeking the compliment of a crush or as extravagant as wanting to be surrounded with actual physical books. It's not the same as goals in that it's not a specific objective but rather environments or behavior they seek out.)
[list][*]list[/list]
[b]FEARS & PHOBIAS[/b]:
('Fear leads to hate, hate leads to suffering' - there are always fear. Some as mild as 'the fear of rejection' and others more rooted into one's psychie enough to be considered a mental illness- such as Agoraphobia. As the OP of this RP I assure you that I won't 'spam' your character's fears- I'm interested in plot not torture)
[list][*]list[/list]

These are additions to one's character sheet designed for use by those who need them.

[b]Droid Model[/b]:
[b]Memory Banks[/b]: (What the unit remembers of it's existence, due to memory wipes and other factors this might not be the unit's full history but what it recalls and bases it's relationship status to be)

Force Powers
- Code: Select all
[b]FORCE POWERS[/b]: (If your character is Force sensitive, what Force powers are they most skilled in, and how skilled are they? E.g. Have they mastered Force healing or Force lightning, while only receiving limited training in abilities such as Force speed or Force push? Note: Do please be reasonable here and keep your character's level of training in mind while listing abilities; no one should be a master of everything.)

PLAYER RESOURCES
The following is meant to assist the player in presenting the universe before them and interacting with it. You can help our community by contributing to these resources. If you'd like to submit a fan design the link will go to a post detailing your contribution for other players to reference. The technology is presented as 'LATE OLD REPUBLIC' and 'EARLY RISE OF THE EMPIRE' Era- a combination of both periods with a focus on what was new in the Old Republic era and Old in the Rise of the Empire.
