The Young Jedi Knights RP: Jedi Academy
 
The Young Jedi Knights was a series written by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta quite a few years back. It was a multi-book collection of adventures of the Solo children and their friends at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin Four. I thoroughly enjoyed the series. If they are still in print I would reccommend them highly.

Anyway, this role play will be based on the idea of this Jedi Academy. You, if you so choose to join, will be a first year student there. There really is no big distinction between what year a person is. Progress is measured individually. by Master Skywalker and his team of teachers. You may be any age, any skill level, but please...no ultra powerful, I-can-do-everything characters. We want to keep this interesting!

Yavin four is a jungle-covered moon. The academy is located in the old stone temple that was once used as a base for the Rebels (a.k.a movie IV). There is jungle surrounding it, as well as some pretty strange, and sometimes vicious, creatures! A lake on the east side is a very well-liked swimming destination for many of the students. The temple is of a pyramid style. The Grand Audience Chamber (as seen in the end of "A New Hope," when Luke and Han are awarded for their bravery and defeat of the Death Star) where everyone gathers for meals and morning and evening meetings is located on the uppermost floor. Students rooms are located on the bottom two floors as well as the basement floors, of which there are five. The basement floors are very creepy, but cool in the jungle weather! Rooms are either doubles of singles, whichever you prefer. The doubles have two beds with drawers beneath them, two closets, and two writing desks. Singles have one of each item, of course. The floors between student housing and the grand audience chamber are classrooms and storage rooms, etc.

The students' day will consist of breakfast followed by morning meeting. Classes will ensue shortly thereafter. A list will be coming soon. There is lunch served at any time of the day after breakfast, and dinner is followed by an evening meeting.

Classes are as follows:
History: covers basic universe history, but is an in-depth study of the Jedi in the past and present. Taught by Tionne. Assisted by Jaina Solo.
Meditation: works on control of the mind, as well as getting deeply in touch with the person and the Force. Taught by Master Skywalker. Assisted by Jacen Solo
Fitness: body strengthening exercises, including endurance. Taught by Tenel Ka. Assisted by Lowbacca the Wookie
Weapons training: traditional lightsaber and open hand combat training. Sutdents will use practice sabers. Taught by Tenel Ka and Master Skywalker. Assisted by Jacen and Jaina Solo, and Lowbacca

Classes do not have levels, because the exercises done in the classes will benefit all levels. Special exceptions may be made...

Once students have reached a certain level (not sure how/when that will be determined...by me or yourselves...we'll see!) they will be granted permission to build and use their own lightsabers. They will work one on one with a member of the staff to accomplish this goal, or may work alone if desired.

The Jedi Academy Staff


Luke Skywalker: You all know him well. The Jedi Master, who has become quite the calm and patient teacher. He is the founder and Master of the school.
Jaina Solo: the daughter of Han Solo. She has completed her training under Master Skywalker, and is now twenty years of age. She is very skilled in mechanics and engineering. She has her father's eyes, and her mother's thick hair, though it is much shorter, and she refuses to twist and tangle it in the strange but beautiful styles her mother is recognized for.
Jacen Solo: Jaina's twin. Jacen also completed his training under Master Skywalker, and assists at the Academy with his sister. He is very skilled in working with creatures of every kind. Jacen looks like his father a lot, especially his hair.
Lowbacca the Wookie: a relation to Chewbacca, this Wookie attended the Academy with Jacen, Jaina, and Tenel Ka. He assists at the Academy. He is golden furred, and very strong.
Tenel Ka: A witch of Dathomir, Tenel Ka is a very muscular, athletic girl who went to school with Jacen, Jaina and Lowbacca. She has bright, orange hair that is almost always tied back, and a tough, cold exterior. She is very loyal to her friends however, and a good teacher.
Tionne: a former student of Master Skywalker, she has little strength in the Force, but knows much about the Jedi history. She is very musical, and sings well. She plays a strange, stringed instrument. She has long, silvery hair, and a kind face. She is a very patient teacher.
Em Teede and R2D2: these two droids will make appearances as we the RPers see fit. You should all be familliar with R2D2. Em Teedee is a droid built by Chewbacca, but programmed by C3PO, so he is VERY talkative...

No students are allowed in the jungle after dark! Students must get special permission to journey further than the boundaries set by the Academy.

Rules:

No student, despite level and ability, may journey anywhere out of sight of the Academy. That means, if you can't see the Temple, you've gone too far!
Students must spend the night in their own rooms. No girls sleeping in boys rooms and vice versa.

Creatures you may want to consider...

Stintarils: tree dwelling rodents with protruding eyes and long jaws with sharp teeth. Very quick and takes a bite out of anything still enough for it to snag.
Crabs may be found in the lake.
Salamanders: formles, pink blobs in the water, but as soon as they are on land, their outer membrane hardens, and it becomes salamander-shaped.
Pirhana Beetles: beetles that swarm a corpse of unlucky creature, and devour it to bones in a few minutes.
Jumping Spiders.
(This creature has no name that I am aware of) A six-legged, starcraft-sized creature with a large, triangular head and twelve tentacles instead of eyes. Sharp, curved tusks protrude from its mouth.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT THIS ROLE PLAYING GAME IS INTENDED FOR THOSE WHO MAKE LONG, WELL-THOUGHT OUT POSTS. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ONE OR TWO LINE POSTS UNLESS IT IS AN OOC DIRECTED TOWARDS SOMEONE. PLEASE TAKE TIME TO THINK YOUR POSTS THROUGH. Violators of this rule will be given a maximum of three warnings. If those three warnings are used up, you are out of the roleplay.

At all costs, please avoid back and forth conversation between two RPers. By that, I mean the one liners like "'do you want to go to the jungle?' joe asked." followed by "'why, yes. Could you show me the lake later?' Jane asked." Stuff like that. It takes up needless space. I woudl prefer it if you could work it out via PMs if you want to do conversations like that, and post the final result when you are finished. It's such a pain in the butt to go through two pages of one line conversations....

Please make your description as follows, and please do not start right away.

Here is my form:

Name: Yukiko
Age: 16
Gender: Female

Personality: A bit of a loner, she tends to keep to herself, but when she makes friends, she is very loyal. She comes off as very cold at first, but since she is uncomfortable in her new enviornment at the Academy, she'll warm up eventually!


I am hoping to make this pretty epic, following ideas from the novels, so please bear with me as I set up the final details for this. Please post your information while I work on this though. As soon as I have it all straightened out, we can begin!

Thank you, ScarletSkye!

Everyone, it's all just about set, so we will start soon!

ScArLetSkye June 16th, 2004 4:46 PM

Kewl! ^^ I look forward to posting in this RP; it looks fun and interesting.

Shiney June 16th, 2004 4:54 PM

Well, here I am.

Name: CB-14
Age: Unknown, even to him.
Species: Droid
Home Planet: Yavin 4
Physical description: If you played star wars: knights of the old republic, he's very similar to HK-47, almost identical, in fact. A picture of him is here, click on the icoon third from the bottom, on the left collum.
Personality: I hate describing personalities. He's a droid, but a special one, so see for yourself!

I shall now describe a bit of the background of my character, otherwise his presence at the academy would remain an enigma.

Recently, a student of the academy who loved to tinker with machines, wandered off into the dense jungnle around the academy, and was not heard from since. When his room was investigated, hopefully looking for clues as to why he left, they found a strange droid within his closet. The jedi did not examine his internal mainframe and components, yet in a general inspection, it appeared the only thing missing was a power source. Hoping that the droid would have some clues, they equipped it with a self-charging power cell, and upon reactivation, it identified itself as CB-14, and his primary function as a bodyguard and identified his combat protocol. However, other than programming from his master, he had no memory of anything prior to activation. The droid went to see Luke Skywalker, and identified one of his main objectives. "If my master should fail at a task, that I must do my best to succeed at that task, and as my master has disappeared, it is within the parameters of failure." And asked master luke to be included in jedi training. Strangley, Skywalker sensed a presence of the force within the droid, and when asked about it, it said that it had no knowledge of it's internal systems structure, yet did know it's functions. However, he could not allow anyone else to tamper with the programming without its combat protocol self-activating. Luke decided that it would be best to learn more about this droid, and so, gave him permission to be a part of the jedi academy, and would recieve the same training as other students.

Skye June 16th, 2004 5:45 PM

Whoohoo! I'm so excited! This is going to rock!

Marina99...I had to laugh when I read your post! Where did you come up with the name Jeanne? (It's my real name! Don't tell anyone!!)

Mari June 16th, 2004 6:02 PM

Oh, yeah! In your drawing, it has your name on it..."Chibi Jeanne", I remember that.

I got the name from Shaman King, and I adore that name, it sounds so cute.

Skye June 16th, 2004 6:30 PM

OOC: And now...the moment you have been waiting for!

Please note that all classes are offered at all times of the day, so feel free to make your own schedule!

Also, if anyone has any ideas, please PM me with them! I am always open to suggestions!

Finally, others may join after we have started!

IC: Yukiko sat atop the Great Temple, her red eyes squinted against the bright morning sun. It was so quiet here, so serene before morning. Yet she could feel everything. The night creatures returning to their burrows and nests, ready to sleep away the day, and the daytime creatures, waking full of energy to greet Yavin with.

Standing up, Yukiko stretched. She felt so free here, devoid of the heavy furs and blankets that weighed her down on Hoth. Her pale, white skin complained to her as the sun hit it, however, so she descended the many, many steps to the bottom level of the Temple.

Her room was located in the basement, and that was where she headed. The second sublevel was cool and welcoming, despite its bleak, damp darkness. A few power sources provided fuel for the lights that lit the halls dimly, but somehow, they couldn't conquer the cold stone enclosure.

Yukiko loved it down here. No bright Yavin to burn her skin, pierce her eyes. She could feel comfortable down here. Opening her door slowly, she peered in. Her sleeping pallet was neatly made, everything in its place. Smiling, she went to her desk, sat down, and sighed.

It would be another hour or so before morning lecture in the Grand Audience Chamber, so Yukiko had time to kill. She toyed with the idea of taking a run, but decided that in the muggy jungle weather, her toasty Jedi robes would do her little good.

She had done much to try and ignore the warmth the sun left on her, or at least, to build a shield around herself, but she was inexperienced. Instead, she settled for covering her albino body completely when going outside in the daylight.

Some of the less-than-kind Jedi-in-training often scoffed at her, but she ignored them. They were all on the same side, after all. Why bother to quarrel amongst themselves when there was a greater task at hand, a greater danger?

Yukiko rose from her desk and paced the room for a while, feeling she had energy to release, but nowhere to put it. Donning her white, lightweight cloak over her robes, she made her way up to the top level of the Temple, to the Grand Audience Chamber.

"I might as well be early," she said to herself softly, her long, white hair flowing out of the hood. She pushed the hood back and twisted her waist-length hair into a quick braid, and replaced the hood.

The Audience Chamber was devoid of any other students when she entered, so she took a seat in the front row, sinking into a meditative-ish state, and enjoying the feeling of recognizing even the smallest form of life around her.

ScArLetSkye June 16th, 2004 6:45 PM

Teyra sat in the front row of the Audience Chamber, with closed lids, savoring the cool darkness that allowed her to relax. She sensed many others with her- Not very familiar with all of them- she rather kept to herself, instead of revealing true feelings or thoughts..
Now opening up her lids, revealing eyes as green as the forests of Naboo itself, full of thought.

The girl knew that she didn't have any friends at the acadamy, for most thought she was a bit too quiet, not wanting to open up, and have companionship, friendship...
But it is not so...

Shiney June 16th, 2004 7:07 PM

I walked in, and saw the two people in the audience chamber who were ealier than I had been. An unknown program told me that they were stretching out with the force, attempting to sense as much as possible. I did not know what this program was, or where the data came from, yet it seemed came from my core mainframe, therefore, it was correct. I picked a location near the front of the massive room, and sat down near two human females.

Skye June 16th, 2004 7:19 PM

Yukiko turned her head to see a droid had come to sit near her. Confused by this, she let her expression become thus, conveying her emotion clearly.

"Hello," she said softly, peering at the droid from behind her white hood. She looked at the other girl who sat near her as well, trying to include her in the conversation. "I am Yukiko. I don't believe I have met either of you before..."

She trailed off, realizing that they may be discouraged by her large, shadowing hood. She pulled it off, and let it fall to her back softly, revealing her very pale skin, long white hair, and piercing red eyes. It had not been uncommon for her people to be born as albino, but she had yet to meet one here. She hoped these two would not judge her, as a few others had already done so here.

Mari June 16th, 2004 7:41 PM

Jeanne was just outside the 'Grand Audience Chamber', as she recalled, deciding to go in now, or wait a little longer since it was early. She looked arond her, she couldn't find anything to do with, it'll be useless not going in. She exhaled and went in.

As Jeanne walked in the Audience Chamber, there were only a few students in. At first glance, she saw a seat next to the students who were there. Being her friendly (and naive) self, she sat down next to them, hoping she could talk to them. She hated the silence that was around her, she wasn't used to this.

Shiney June 16th, 2004 8:51 PM

I looked at the female who spoke to me, and then I said "It is unlikley that we have met before," I said. "I have only recently joined the academy. I am CB-14."

Jesus Freak Josh June 17th, 2004 12:48 AM

Skye sent me a PM about this a while ago. I was browsing around and saw this so I thought "What the heck?". Is it too late to join?

Skye June 17th, 2004 5:50 AM

OOC: Of course you can join, Batesy! We've just begun! Hope you enjoy it!

ScArLetSkye June 17th, 2004 6:31 AM

OOC: Oh, yes, Skye, I forgot to mention that I've read most of the series as well! ^^;

BIC: "I am Teyra." Teyra addressed the two sitting next to her, a hope of making some friends sparkling in her own deep green eyes.
"I... Also think I haven't seen you two around here before..." The girl tried to say something other then her name, digging through her mind for other things to say.
A bit anxiously, she closed her eyes, then opened them again, trying to calm herself.
The green eyed girl smiled, as if to make up for her lack of words.

Skye June 17th, 2004 9:00 AM

Another girl had come to join them. Yukiko smiled at her kindly, hoping that she would join them.

"It's nice to meet you, CB-14, and Teyra," she said softly, her red eyes glowing with happiness.

By now, a herd of students had filed in, taking their seats. Master Skywalker had yet to appear, but it was still early yet. Yukiko looked up to Master Skywalker so very much. She admired his calm, but very strong nature; the way he could handle any situation without drawing a weapon, or using his fists. She wanted very much to be like that.

Shaking herself from her daze, she turned to the people who had come to sit with her. Smiling, she introduced herself once more, this time to Jeanne, hoping that they would all become good friends.

ScArLetSkye June 17th, 2004 9:10 AM

"Hello," The girl greeted the newcomer, the girl called Jeanne, continuing; "I am called Teyra."
She smiled one last time at all of them, then closed her eyes once more, and began to meditate.
I call to the living things...
Things known, creatures that walk...
Creatures that fly,
Upon the moons of planets,
The planets, themselves...
And to the essence of life...

The teen recited in her head, the simple poem she had learned.
Not once more opening her eyes, she awaited the Master Skywalker's presence...

Jesus Freak Josh June 17th, 2004 1:08 PM

OOC: Could you just tell me where we are so I can start?

Shiney June 17th, 2004 1:19 PM

Jesus Freak Josh June 17th, 2004 1:40 PM

Adam walked to the Audience Chamber. He had just joined the academy and was starving.
He saw a robot looking thing and decided to walk over. Before he did, Adam decided to flatten his brown hair, and then he walked over. The robot looking thing was talking to two girls. Adam, walked over and introduced himself. "Hi!" He said. "I'm Adam!"

Shiney June 17th, 2004 1:48 PM

As another human, this one male, walked in. When he announced himself, I memorized his name and appearance and said "Greetings. I am CB-14."

Skye June 17th, 2004 2:13 PM

OOC: You are certainly not too late, Mew! Welcome! Jump right in! ^^

IC: "Hi, Adam," Yukiko said kindly, looking over the back of the bench to smile at him. "I'm Yukiko, but you can call me Yuki for short if you want to."

She turned to face front as Master Skywalker strode calmly to the front of the room. The Grand Audience Chamber was now nearly filled with students of various ages, and species. Yukiko felt a smile cross her lips as Master Skywalker began his lecture.

"Good morning, and may the Force be with you," he greeted them in his usual way. Though his eyes could only focus on one or two things at a time, it felt as if he looked at everyone. "I would like to welcome our new arrivals today. Please make them feel at home here, as some of them have come from far away, from very different enviornments. Next, I would like to discuss with you a few...issues.

"There has been an increase of dangerous creatures lurking about in the jungles. I would like all of you to travel in at least pairs when going into the jungle, and please remember that the creatures are not your enemies. If anything, they are frightened of you and just want to protect themselves. Use your connection with the Force to quell their fears. Put them at ease.

"A creature, no matter what they are, how foreign they may seem, can become a strong ally if given the chance." Master Skywalker paused and looked very thoughtful for a moment, his blue eyes watching the students before him. "The same goes with your fellow students here." He sent a smile to CB-14. "I have learned something new these past few days. The Force is prominent in all things, all living things, and perhaps even those things that we do not normally consider 'living.' Everyone has a connection with the Force, but because we are Jedi, because we have the ability to harness and understand that ability, we can help make great changes in our world. I will give you everything I have to teach. My fellow teachers and I will show you the secrets of the light side, and how to resist the darkness. What you do with that knowlege after we have given it to you is beyond our control. We can all only hope that you will use it for peace.

"Enjoy your days here, everyone. May the Force be with you."

With a smile, a smile that wore the mask of age, of wisdom, and of a great unconditional love, Luke Skywalker strode off the stage, and down the corridoor, leaving his pupils to their thoughts.

Yukiko turned her pale face to look at her friends with a smile.

"I feel very inspired for my classes today," she said to them softly. Never was her voice loud or harsh. "Do any of you have history first with Tionne?"

Shiney June 17th, 2004 2:17 PM

I opened my program that I used to keep track of my schedule, and noticed that I had it too. I looked at Yukiko and said "Yes, that is my first course as well."

Jesus Freak Josh June 17th, 2004 2:18 PM

"I do!" Adam said when Yuki asked. "By the way Yuki, hi! Who are you two?" he asked CB-14 and Teyra.
Adam checked my time table more throughly. They had fitness. He hoped to try out a lightsaber.
"So do any of you want to try out a lightsaber?" Adam asked

ScArLetSkye June 17th, 2004 2:24 PM

"I'm Teyra...." The girl said, opening her eyes, and smiling a little at Adam, then looking at Yukiko.
"Yes... According to my schedule, I do." Teyra said, pushing back her long, dark honey colored hair out of her face, to enhance her vision.
"A lightsaber?" Teyra asked slowly, hearing Adam's question, and turning to him.
"Well.... I guess I do." A bit doubtfully, she answered, looking at him with a bit of curiousity.

Skye June 17th, 2004 2:26 PM

"Lightsabers make me nervous," Yukiko replied, shuddering. Her expression became somewhat dark...and a little pained at the though. "Besides, we don't practice with real lightsabers. They're created so that they strike only the blade of your partner, and will just go through a person's body like a beam of light. No harm done."

She smiled, and got up from her bench.

"Well...best not be late," she said, pulling her lightweight, white hood over her head. Her eyes squinted as she walked through a shard of light from Yavin. "Comin, Teyra, CB-14? Adam, did you say you had history with us too?"

Shiney June 17th, 2004 2:28 PM

"Yes, I do." I said. I got up, and after verifying the location of the room where history was taught with my internal mapping system, I followed Yukiko.

ScArLetSkye June 17th, 2004 2:31 PM

Teyra resumed her meditave pose, although keeping her eyes wide open.
Now, hearing Yukiko speak, she knew it was time for her class...
So, keeping a calm face on, she attentively followed the other girl, and also looked at CB-14, and Adam.
As she waited for Adam's reply, she closed her eyes again, and recited the poem, now following the two, with the force.
I call to the living things...

Mari June 17th, 2004 2:57 PM

Jeanne smiled brightly as the other students introduced themselves. She, too, introduced herself and waited for some more students to come.

Finally, after a few minutes of waiting, almost all the students were in and Master Skywalker came. SHe listened attentively to what he siad, feeling very interested.

"Enjoy your days here, everyone. May the Force be with you."
After saying his last sentence, he left quickly. She stood up and looked at Yuki, Teyra, CB-14, and another human male. She overheard them talking about thier first class. She was relieved, she had the same class as them. She didn't want to bother them so she just followed them silently.

Shinin June 17th, 2004 4:00 PM

i'm gonna join because my star wars RP is dead becauz of here

Name: Shinin
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Species: Zabrak
Home Planet: Irithia
Physical description: Looks like Darth Maul but stripes are tan & brown. Wears a silver cloak with a large hood. The spikes on his head are larger than normal.
Personality: No patience

Mew13 June 17th, 2004 5:28 PM

Nat headed to the History Room. She was nervous, and quite shy. She had never left her home planet before, and now.... here she was! She stepped into the room and saw some students already there.

"Hi," she said timidly. "My name's Nat. Who might you be?" Her cheeks turned a pinkish color as she introduced herself.

ScArLetSkye June 17th, 2004 5:35 PM

Teyra opened her eyes, sensing someone.
Hm...
The girl interduced herself as Nat, and Teyra greeted her with a nod.
"I'm Teyra." The now relaxed girl said to the newcomer, smiling gently.
"Er... which class do you have now?" The young girl asked the other, not being able to think of anything else to say, meditating slightly after speaking.
I greet the suns...
That descend upon...

Skye June 17th, 2004 5:39 PM

OOC: Shinin, if you're gonna be bitter about it, then forget about joining. If you've come here to be spiteful, then forget about joining. If you've come here to RP to the best of your ability and have a good time, then I would be happy to have you aboard. Oh...and thanks for asking to join instead of just barging in. (Note sarcasm). If you're going to join, read the two pages of post to better aquaint yourself with the RP. All your questions should be answered there. By the way, the only reason there are a lot of people here is because I PMed them to invite them.

Once your characters have reached a certain level, they will be given permission to build their own lightsabers. It's an important part about becomming a Jedi.

IC: "Hey, Jeanne," Yukiko said with a smile, noticing how she hung behind the group. "Come walk with us. Don't be shy. I'm sure none of us bite...too hard!"

She chuckled lightly, and they entered their history classroom. It was on one of the upper levels of the temple, and a few rays of light came through the slits in the walls. Yukiko chose a seat in the shade, near the front of the room. Tionne, their teacher, was all ready in the front of the room, playing on her mysterious stringed instrument. It had a soothing, enchanting quality about it. It made Yukiko think about the lecture Master Skywalker had given earlier that morning, about quelling the anger of others with peace.

A new girl walked into the room, and the ripple she caused in Yukiko's mind distracted her from her thoughts.

"Hello," Yukiko said, as the girl introduced herself as Nat. "I'm Yukiko. You can call me Yuki for short if you want to...it's up to you."

Raichu Master June 17th, 2004 5:42 PM

no perfect characters? Well I guess I can't be in this rp...don't know why anyone even pmed me about this...

OOC: Wah! Raichu Master, I think I am going to die of shock! Your character is awesome! Jump right in! I can't wait to see this guy in action!!!

Raichu Master June 17th, 2004 5:55 PM

OOC: Just one question...where are we?

Skye June 17th, 2004 5:57 PM

OOC: We have really just begun. Right now, we've just finished the morning lecture in the Grand Audience Chamber, and are in our first class, which is history. Yours can be different if you want, but I think all our characters have history together, so it's up to you!

BTW, please make sure you read my first post (intro) really carefully. I am pretty sure it will answer most of your questions if you have any!

Raichu Master June 17th, 2004 6:04 PM

I sat in the back of the History class with sweaty hands, I was very nervous about this. I was never good at history, and I lacked in every aspect of it. The only thing I took pride in was my mediation, I could focus my mind very easily. I made sure not to draw any attention to me, because I got stage fright very easily. I just waited around nervously for the lessen to begin.

Jesus Freak Josh June 17th, 2004 10:51 PM

OOC: Where are we? In history?

Raichu Master June 18th, 2004 2:39 AM

OOC: Yes we are in History, if you were to read Sky's last post, I had asked the same question.

Jesus Freak Josh June 18th, 2004 2:57 AM

OOC: Thanks!

BIC:
Adam sat next to Teyra in history. I had studied alot of history of the universe. I just hoped any questions asked, would be something I've read about. I leant over to Teyra. "What do you expect of this class?" I asked.

Shinin June 18th, 2004 3:20 AM

OOC: I wasnt trying to be bitter or anything like that. And I'm not joining to be spiteful.

IC: Shinin rushed into the history room. He found a seat next to Adam. Shinin said "Hi." to Adam.

Skye June 18th, 2004 3:33 AM

OOC: Okay, Shinin. Make sure you read my first post, because you just broke one of the rules. There will be NO one or two line posting unless it is OOC. You have to make your posts detailed. I am going for an old skool RPG here. None of this "'Hi, my name is ___,' and I sat down" stuff. Edit your last post.

Nanok, I RPed with you in the dragon riders RP, and I hope that you will do more than one or two line posts, because they are not allowed in this RP unless they are OOC. If you can make well thought out, detailed posts, then you are welcome to join.

nanok242 June 18th, 2004 6:37 AM

ooc:i willl try to put long thought out post.and can i be in a different class then every one eles?

Skye June 18th, 2004 6:49 AM

OOC: You can be in whatever class you want. You aren't bound to our schedule.

Also, just note this everyone (I will add it to my intro post as well...):

At all costs, please avoid back and forth conversation between two RPers. By that, I mean the one liners like "'do you want to go to the jungle?' joe asked." followed by "'why, yes. Could you show me the lake later?' Jane asked." Stuff like that. It takes up needless space. I woudl prefer it if you could work it out via PMs if you want to do conversations like that, and post the final result when you are finished. It's such a pain in the butt to go through two pages of one line conversations....

ScArLetSkye June 18th, 2004 6:55 AM

Teyra shrugged her shoulders lightly.
"You know, I'm not very sure... Many things, I suppose."
She said, thinking it over quickly in her head, surveying him with her dark green eyes.
Smiling, she closed her eyes again, not realizing it, and she began to meditate once more, and yet again, recite her small poem.
I call...
But then, her eyes snapped open again.
"Oh, I so sorry..." The girl fretted, apologizing fractically for meditating in the middle of the conversation. "I... Tend to do that." She explained, trying to focus her mind on the lesson, and the conversation they were having.

Jesus Freak Josh June 18th, 2004 1:16 PM

"That's all right!" Adam said. The class was getting full now. It was also getting noisy. Children were talking about other subjects. Every now and then, Adam could pick up on people saying things like: "I can't wait till fitness!" "Yeah! Too bad you can only use practice sabers!" or "... Meditation? I don't know about it..."
"When is the teacher going to get here?" Adam asked Teyra beginning to draw a lightsaber on a bit of paper.

ScArLetSkye June 18th, 2004 1:27 PM

She blinked, fully suprised that someone would want to talk to her for that long.
"I don't know..."
Saying this, she started meditating again, and whilst she was at it, she opened up one eye, and asked again, looking at the drawing,
"You must be excited about fitness...".
Closing her eye once more, she awaited the boy's answer, while thinking about the lessons.
Hmm... Meditation sounds... Relaxing....
Humming a little to herself, she waited.

Jesus Freak Josh June 18th, 2004 1:46 PM

"Sure do!" Adam said. "I assume you really want to do meditation. Awaiting her answer, he continued drawing the Light Saber. Adam must have been asleep or something because the Light Saber on the page moved. But luckily, someone drew his attention away. A kid whispering to his friend something. "... The only reason he wants us to go in twos is because he is scared that if he can't defeat something by himself he hopes a pair will show up to help!"
Ignoring the idiots, Adam turned back to Teyra.

ScArLetSkye June 18th, 2004 1:58 PM

Teyra nodded. "That and this class. I'm not so sure about the Weapon Training class, though.." She trailed off, wincing at the word 'weapon'.
She never really had wanted to use weapons...
Now, she didn't really have a chance to decide...
However, at least it's not I real lightsaber I'll practice with. She assured herself, opening her eyes.

Mew13 June 18th, 2004 2:33 PM

Nat looked about her. The classroom was getting quite full. She began to shy away. She was never one to be surrounded by large groups of people.

Then, she saw him. A skinny boy sitting alone in the back. He looked uncomfortable. She walked to the back where he was sitting and said hello. She introduced herself as Nat, and quietly asked where he was from.

Her mind was suddenly full of thoughts about Nimbus. How was her family doing? Were they even alive? She shook her head to clear her mind. She quietly awaited his answer.

Raichu Master June 18th, 2004 3:03 PM

I suddenly felt my heart race and adrenaline fill my body...I was becoming shy, I had never been shy, just alittle bit of a push over. "My na...na..name's...uh...um...John Brass. But please call me JB. I prefer JB." I studdered foolishly, I felt alittle embarassed. "I'm from Kevia, it's a little farther than the rest of the academy students home planets attending here. We have an academy of our own. But I wanted to be taught here." I said trying to find my confidence.

nanok242 June 18th, 2004 3:35 PM

x-r walked into the classroom finding a set in the back of the room. nobody ever liked him cus he was so quiet and dark. he realy didnt want any friends.
he just wanted to get to wepons that is the only thing way he came and that beening a jedi was in family.he just wanted it to get over.
OOC:i real didnt read the 2 page but i just did and that is so not far the light sabers only go through your opponit why cant we use sabers that only sting like a small pinch

Raichu Master June 18th, 2004 4:29 PM

OOC: They're called stun blades...if you've play KotOR.

Shinin June 18th, 2004 4:43 PM

OOC: is KotOR good? i'm thinking about getting KotOR 2 when it comes out.


Shinin decided to sit next to X-R. "Hi, I'm Shinin." he said. "You look kind of... evil-looking... are you on the dark side? I don't care if you are or are going to."

Jesus Freak Josh June 18th, 2004 4:48 PM

OOC: Ummm... These posts are a bit short. And Blitzballchamp could you PLEASE make your posts more descriptive? I'm sure Skye will say the same thing too!

Skye June 18th, 2004 6:37 PM

OOC: I dunno who you mean by Blitzballchamp, but Shinin, your posts are way too short. Please lengthen them to a few paragraphs. No less than two please.

IC: Yukiko smiled at the conversations around her. She felt the senses within her tingling, as if she were made of sunlight, of happiness. Looking up at Tionne, who was sitting in the front of the room, Yukiko noticed she had stopped playing her instrument, but the happiness and good cheer in the room endured.

"Good morning, students," Tionne said softly, but her voice filled the room. She picked up her strange, stringed instrument once more, and played a few notes. "I would like to tell you a story this morning. For those of you who are new, I do not use textbooks. I teach history through song, which I hope you will all enjoy..."

With that, her speaking voice trailed off, and Tionne slipped into her soft, silvery singing voice. Her song told of a battle long ago, of Jedi who suffered and gave their lives while fighting off a great darkness. Yukiko listened intently. She had always had a knack and a special connection with music. Her Force sense was particularly strong when there was music around her. It sharpened her senses, made her feel very alive, very vibrant. She could almost see colorful vibrations in the air around her.

When Tionne had finished, she set down her instrument carefully, and folded her hands in her lap.

"Are there any questions?" she asked gently, and tossed her silvery hair.

Jesus Freak Josh June 18th, 2004 6:46 PM

OOC: WHAT?! First it was minimum of 5 lines! NOW IT'S A MINIMUM OF 2 PARAGRAPHS?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nanok242 June 18th, 2004 6:51 PM

OOC:that is no far i cant even right in 1 paragraph

Jesus Freak Josh June 18th, 2004 6:53 PM

OOC: Nor can you spell or use punctuation (No offense!)

nanok242 June 18th, 2004 7:02 PM

OOC:i know in spelling at skool i have the best thing but after the spelling test my parints wount me to spell all my words and i only get 1 right

Shiney June 18th, 2004 7:59 PM

OOC: Conjecture: I beleive paragraphs might be a bit extensive when considering certain situations. For example, a robot would have very little to say about how he felt about things, therefore, my character is a bit difficult in some situations. I think that perhaps we try to be as detailed as possible, yet prolonged, and uneccisarily short posting would result in warnings, and eventually being expelled from the roleplay? Look at my in-character below for example. There is plenty for humans to say, but little for me. However, in other situations, I can have far more to say than any meatb- err, human. But you will see that while short, it is detailed.

IC: I began recording through my audio and video sensors at highest quality, directly to my memory as the jedi master Tionne taught her lesson through the song. Once she had finished, I double checked the file to make sure that it was fully functional, and committed it to my permanent memory.

Jesus Freak Josh June 18th, 2004 8:19 PM

OOC: Where do you live? I mean what continent or country

Mari June 18th, 2004 8:24 PM

Jeanne listened attentively at the song Tionne played. She was suprised, she never enjoyed history before, but what she was hearing...it was something inexplicable yet she somehow understood them. In her mind, she repeated what she heard, imagining what happened, feeling what they could feel.

Hearing that she was done, she opened her eyes. Only realizing then that she had closed them. She was too absorbed by what she had been envisioning in her head.

"Are there any questions?" she had asked.

Since she didn't have one, she sat still and looked around for anyone who does.

Ytnim June 19th, 2004 12:21 AM

I know this is late but can I join? I have read the first YJK book about the *covers mouth with hand* crmmh twe fghnmgr. (just incase you want to use something like that in the RP). I haven't been able to find the other books. Here's my character but if this is too late I will delete this post.

Name: Yon

Age: 25 (Wookiees live for much longer than humans so he is only teenager)

Gender: Male

Species: (I'm gonna go against you all (except Shinin) and not be a human.) Wookiee

Home Planet: Kashyyyk (no I didn't spell it wrong, that's how it's spelt)

Physical description: He is tall and athletic, like most of his species. His body is mostly covered in fur and wears little clothing, only a single belt made from the fibres from a deadly syren plant. His fur is a rich brown except for a ginger patch over his left eye.

Personality: He is very dependable and loyal to his friends. He has a love for computers and mechanics. Since most of the Wookiees are not deceitful he is quite gullible and will believe almost anyone or anything. Also loves to tell jokes. His temper is quite a problem although not many people will try to provoke a Wookiee.

Other: He has a translator Droid that he created about the size of Em Teedee and is named RU12. *smiles* RU12 is clipped onto his belt.

Jesus Freak Josh June 19th, 2004 12:31 AM

OOC: I bent my wookie! :D

Shinin June 19th, 2004 3:58 AM

OOC: u spelled kashyyyk right. unless it only has 2 y's o_O
Skye's post count is 911 o_O
and Skye going from 5 sentences (1 average paragraph) and going to 2 paragraphs is doubling it. And sometimes, you can't get even 1 paragraph in because there is so little to say. You have an easy time doing it because you also control the JA teachers.


IC: Shinin listened to the notes of Master Tionne's instroment. He never liked music. Her singing voice was OK. Shinin didn't care about history. All he knew about history was things that happened in the past 30 years. He knew about Darth Maul, Darth Sidious, Darth Tyranus a.k.a. Count Dooku, General Grievous, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, and how they all got killed and who killed them. He doesn't want to know more history. The only reason he knew about that stuff was because his parents told him stories when he was little. He didn't care about what happened before that.

Skye June 19th, 2004 5:33 AM

OOC: Shinin, I do not control the teacher completely. Everyone is more than welcome to take part, since we all have a general idea of what the classes would be like. They are pretty self-explanitory. Besides, the students will probably end up splitting up at some point for classes, so I won't be controlling the teachers for the classes my character is not in.

Perhaps for some parts, two paragraphs may be asking too much, but honestly, it really isn't that hard to do. Try describing your surroundings, the noise the other classmates are making, and how your character is thinking or what they are feeling. I will not tolerate one or two sentences. Starting from here on out, people who continue to post one or two line posts will receive a maximum of three warnings, for the duration of the roleplay. After three, warnings you are out. I will add this rule to my intro post. If you don't like the rules, leave. Please refer yourself to my intro post, as I have reminded you so many times before. All the rules are there.

Ytnim, you are welcome to join us. Please read over my intro post for all of the rules.

IC: It appeared that no one had any questions for Tionne, so the silvery-voiced teacher dismissed the class. She gave the offer for students to approach her after class, or anytime, to ask questions if they had any.

"I really like history," Yukiko said to her friends, as she pulled back her hood to reveal her piercing red eyes. She smiled lightly, her connection with the Force very strong after all of that music.

It was a strange thing, music. Something as simple as one tone, one pitch, could bring her a memory or a taste, or a smell from a time she had forgotten. How could something so simple remind her of such things? The answer she did not know, but felt there was no need to search for it. Some things were meant to be left a mystery.

"What do you all have next?" she asked them softly, her pale index finger scrolling down the list on her data pad. "It seems I have fitness next."

Shinin June 19th, 2004 6:40 AM

OOC: cool

IC: Shinin looked at his datapad. "I have fitness too." he said. "Then I have weapons training." Shinin walked down the hall to his next class. The walls were dark grey, which made the room seem dark even though there are lights. He got into fitness and sat on a chair.

Ytnim June 19th, 2004 7:00 AM

OOC: I do not think I will have a problem with length but we will see. I am assuming that fitness is held outside. With speaking since I have a translator when Yon says something it will be translated automatically by RU12 if not otherwised mentioned.

IC: I left the great hall, the sound of music lingering in the air like a scented rose. Alot of the students were not moving, trying to catch this music before is disappeared like smoke. I felt slightly alone, most of the student body was human and probably wouldn't want to be friends with me or RU12.

"RU12 what class to I have next?" I asked my small electronic friend.

"According to the schedule you have fitness now. It is held outside of the Temple." RU12 said in his slightly mechanical voice.

I took one of turbolifts down to the bottom floor, I had it too myself, others seemed to steer clear of a tight space with a Wookiee. The halls of the temple were the original stone but doors and things like the turbolifts were made from metal and were obviously not part of the original structure. Many halls led this way and that, a maze to someone who didn't know their way around or didn't have a map. RU12 told me which path to take so to get to where I would be having my fitness class. I had expected that it would be to human standard but since coming here I had been suprised many times and this was no exception.

"Who is the teacher for this lesson?" I asked my only friend as of yet on this jungle moon.

"The class is lead by Mistress Tenel Ka and assisting her is Master Lowbacca. I believe the latter is a member of the Wookiee race if I am not mistaken." RU12 tried to cheer me up a bit although his monotone voice didn't help. I would have to fix that later.

I rounded a last bend and was faced with a few rows of students but I could easily see over them. In front was a female human, quite muscular and I assumed it was Tenel Ka. Beside her was a tall Wookiee, Lowbacca.

Shinin June 19th, 2004 7:27 AM

Shinin realized that he was in the wrong classroom. He looked outside and saw the fitness teachers. He was only two stories high in the building, so he jumped out the window. His feet were hurt for a split second and that was the only pain that he felt. Master Tenel Ka asked me "Did you feel any pain when you landed on the ground?".
"My feet hurt a little for a second." Shinin replied.
"If your force powers were balanced, you would'nt have felt a thing." she replied.

Mew13 June 19th, 2004 9:13 AM

Nat quickly focused her attention to the now singing teacher. It was amazing! Never before had history touched her like this. She could picture everything that happened. All the blood and gore, to the heroics and traitors. It was unbelievable. After the class, Nat was almost sorry it ended. She walked out with JB, and quietly asked which class he had next.

"Mine's fitness." she said, still feeling the intensness from the history lesson. She looked around her at all the students milling about. She was going to have to get over this sense of social fear. She turned her striking emerald eyes back to JD and smiled. Once again awaiting the shy boy's answer.

ScArLetSkye June 19th, 2004 9:22 AM

Teyra listened, intranced by the many tales the teacher had to tell, of history.

She was amazed at the great amount of detail used, and at the images that came soaring into her mind, clear as crystal, vizualizing them perfectly.
At last, when the tale ended, she was stunned beyond belief, and felt more closer to the force, by these tales of excitement, bloodshed, and wonder.
Also, when it was over, she sorely wished that history could have been a bit longer, but was then happy that the Meditation class would come soon, and that tommorrow would be another oppertunity to have History.

Walking out of the classroom, Teyra scanned the area in search of her newly found friends with her green colored eyes, hoping to find someone that was willing to walk with her to the next class.

nanok242 June 19th, 2004 9:59 AM

i am going to quet this rp i am geting bord of rps

Shiney June 19th, 2004 11:46 AM

I walked into the fitness classroom, and began scanning the teacher Tenel Ka as well as Lowbacca, getting as much information as possible about their physical abilities.

Raichu Master June 19th, 2004 2:40 PM

OOC: Mew13, the use of "shy boy" is inappropriate since my charater is 25 years old. But since he seems alittle misplaced because everyone else is still in their teens I guess I'll edit my characters age to 16. *edits post* there all done, now JB is 16 years old.

IC: I gathered up my notes and my different history books and walked out with Nat. "I'm not sure let me check." I said regaining my confidence. I got out my schedule and ran my finger down the datapads screen. "...um...ah..." i said looking at my schedule trying to figure out what I had next. "Yes I do have Fitness, then meditation." I said putting my datapad away. "Yay...fitness." I said sarcastically. "Actually I like running, but I just don't like the weight part." I explained as we walked down the hall to the Fitness center.

Shinin June 19th, 2004 3:20 PM

The teachers told the students to do all sorts of weird stretches. Shinin wasn't that flexible and it was slightly difficult for him to do them perfectly.

Raichu Master June 19th, 2004 3:40 PM

Once we got to the room, the teacher there had us begin to stretch at once. Because I was skinny and lanky I had no problem doing them. I had always been flexable and good runner, I just didn't like the weights, they often intimidated me.

"Alright now everyone get a partner." The teacher said.

I sat in the back in a corner, again. I just watched everyone partner up. No one really wants to partner up with me, and if I partner up with someone, they probably won't like it, because they have to be partnered with me. I thought to myself as I watched everyone, forgetting the whole fact that no one really knew me or my name. I just sat there watching everyone as I sat in a corner.

Mew13 June 19th, 2004 4:07 PM

OOC: Oops! Sorry Raichu_Master! I guess I didn't read your bio very well!

IC: The stretching was easy for Nat. She had always been flexible, being a wonderful dancer. She wasn't very competitive, so she never enjoyed sports other than dance.

Once the teacher said to pair up, Nat looked around. Her shyness had once again taken over. She looked around as her peers paired up confidently. She hoped someone.... anyone would come and pair up with her. She saw JB in the corner and wondered if she had to pair with another girl.

Ytnim June 19th, 2004 4:22 PM

"I have to pair up?" I thought to myself worriedly. "How am I going to pair up with someone, I'm not a human!" I looked around the class for someone, anyone to pair up with. A small lanky boy was at the back of the room with no one.

"Hi." I said nervously although he wouldn't know it, RU12's voice was still monotone. "I think that we are the only two left so I guess I'm your partner." I was starting to scratch the back of my head thinking this wasn't the best idea, the human boy was looking very scared. "My name is Yon and my translator is RU12. I made him myself." I checked once more to see if anyone else was left to pair with. There wasn't.

I waited next to the small human, waiting to see if he would respond to me.

Raichu Master June 19th, 2004 4:50 PM

I looked at him thoughtfully. A part of me wanted to cowar, but another part, a stronger part, wanted to challenge him, wanted to show him I wasn't as wimpy as I looked. I got to my feet and forced a smile, "My name's John Brass, but please I prefer to be called JB." I said extending a hand for him to shake. I could fell confidence overwhelm me, for the first time I was over-confident about myself, I was sure I could do better than anyone in this class, once I took a good look around. I harnessed that confidence and straightened my back and broaden my shoulders.

Mew13 June 19th, 2004 6:43 PM

Nat saw JB had gotten a partner and saw him almost swell with confidence. She smiled to herself and then realized she still had no partner. She walked over to a likely group of girls.

"Hi!" she said, sounding more confident than she felt. "My name's Nat. Anyone here still need a partner?" She looked around hopefully. This was hard. Harder than she could have imagined. Why did she have to be so shy?

Skye June 19th, 2004 7:04 PM

Yukiko reached the outside grounds a little late, and recieved a stern look from Tenel Ka. She quickly rushed onto the scene, where students were busy pairing up. The lanky, shy boy she had noticed from history was paired up with a Wookie. She smiled kindly at them from beneath her hood, knowing full well that they probably could not see her face, but hoped they could feel her kindness through the Force.

"Nat!" she called to her from across the grounds. "Do you have a partner?"

Tenel Ka had already begun to instruct some student pairs on what their lesson was for today. They all sat before her, cross legged, or sitting on their legs. Yukiko quickly sat on the ground, tucking her legs under her. She looked down at her bare feet, smiling slightly. She had never imagined she would be outside in bare feet, having come from a planet made of ice and snow.

"Your task today is to venture out into the jungle, running. Whatever you encounter, you will conquer together. Work as a team to accomplish your goals. Complete this route-" she showed them a map on her data pad of the route they were to take. It circled the Temple once, curved into the forest for a few kilometers, and circled the lake once. The diagram showed them going THROUGH the lake after that, circling around the Temple once more, and finally, ending right back where they started. "-together as quickly as you can. As you can see, this is more than just a fitness exercise..."

She relinquished the data pad, and Lowbacca growled something, his voice rising and falling in sharp, harsh tones. Wookie speech had always fascinated Yukiko. It was so musical to her...

"Master Lowbacca will be in the jungle, around the grounds, etc, to keep an eye on things, as a lot of you are beginners," Em Teedee piped up from the clip on Lowbacca's belt.

Yukiko turned to Nat excitedly, squinting against the bright light.

"Would you like to be my partner?" she asked once more.

OOC: Shinin, and Shineyelectrode....your last posts were very short. Please be more careful about this, and take it seriously. I really don't want to have to give warnings much less kick anyone out...and I mean that sincerely. I don't want to be a jerk.

Jesus Freak Josh June 19th, 2004 7:16 PM

OOC: Where are we? I lost track...

ScArLetSkye June 19th, 2004 7:18 PM

OOC: Me too.... Sorry, I as well lost track. ^^;

Skye June 19th, 2004 7:21 PM

OOC: Second class how now begun. Most of us are in fitness I think, but feel free to have a different schedule. Might be more interesting that way...the last couple of posts should catch you up should you decide to put your characters in fitness.

Jesus Freak Josh June 19th, 2004 7:45 PM

OOC: Have we got practice sabers?

Ytnim June 19th, 2004 8:09 PM

OOC: No we use sabers in weapons training, not fitness.

IC: "Did you get the course RU12?" I asked my mechanical friend.

"Yes. I will comunicate to you and Master Brass where you will need to go in order to complete the lesson." I was really going to change that voice soon.

I started the course, my long legs soon having me out in front of JB. I slowed down a bit so he could keep up with me. It wasn't long before we had circled the Temple, even though it was massive. We ventured into the jungle, A place I felt half at home. On my home planet the trees were much taller but these were not tiny either. It was making me homesick. There was movement everywhere, alot of it from small furry creatures, fleeing from our feet. Shrieks could be heard from deeper inside the jungle, making even my spine shiver. Luckily, were we not going in that far.

"I believe Master Brass and yourself should start turning left." RU12 piped up, his voice suprisingly not monotone for once.

"Why did you come here to the Academy?" I asked JB, RU12 translating for me as we ducked to miss a low hanging vine.

OOC: Ytnim is right. Practice sabers are for weapons training. The blades make contact for blocking and striking purposes, but if a student strikes his or her opponent's body with it, the blade is as harmless as a beam from a flashlight. (Some authors have the blades sting the opponent, but I think that the above is a better idea, myself...)

OOC: My brain has been deep-fried, or else I'd make a long, in-depth in character post. But I beleive I explained that with my specific character, getting a specific ammount of volume to each post would be difficult in some cases. But I will try my best to make extended posts, but should that fail, I will always try to have detailed posts at least.

OOC: I think that the practice sabers should go through them without cutting them in half and doesn't make any scars, but stings them if that happens so they want to defend more. It wouldn't be like a scorpion sting, just like if you touched a lightbulb.

I said laughing, because I was having fun, "Why do you think anyone comes to the jedi academy? Of course, I possess the ability to use the force, and I have come here to further my study of the force and to become a jedi." We then reached a fault, it was big enough we couldn't we could jump over it. "Now what?" I asked out loud looking for a vine to swing on or some type of fallen log, but there was nothing. "Do we start to go back or do we find a way to cross it?" I asked looking at Yon.

OOC: The reason I made the sabers like that will be explained in a later post...stay tuned for details!! (I'm waiting for Mew to post....)

Jeanne walked in to her class, she was about five minutes late and hoped that she won't get scolded for it. When she reached the grounds, everybody started pairing up. She got paired up with a very shy girl. She smiled at her and secretly hoped that she could lift her partner's spirits up.

She then turned her attention to Tenel Ka who was explainingwhat to do. She grinned as Tenel Ka finished and prepared to run. When she saw her pair had finished preparing, she quickly ran in the forest, looking back once in a while to check if her partner was behind her.

Teyra was heading in the forest, with her partner, a girl her aga, called Sonia, much like her in many ways.
For instance, both were equally shy, and nervous about the class, and wondered if they'd survive jumping over logs and tree roots, while on the look out for animals.
Teyra wondered were the rest of her newly met friends were... Probally far a head... "Teyra, um, what do you think your favorite class will be?"
"Meditation." The girl anwsered the other quickly, now looking up at the vast amount of trees.
