JEDI OUTCASTS
Act I: Awakening
Spoiler:
background
About one thousand years before the onslaught of the Clone Wars, the dark age of the galaxy came to an end. The Sith, an ancient order of malevolent Force-practitioners, were defeated after their birth in the Hundred-Year Darkness and driven into hiding, but the then galactic government, known as the "Old Republic" also fell. Following the collapse of that government and a full-scale war, a number of solar systems united, founding a successor state: the Galactic Republic.
As its governing body, the newly reorganized government established the Galactic Senate, the members of which were elected to represent their systems. In time, the Jedi Order, an organization of protectors who could tap into the power of the Force, came to serve the Republic as guardians of peace and justice.
However, the new Galactic Republic was not perfect. Culture and norms are currently about to escalate into racism; the notion that humans are purer beings than other races in the galaxy has spread and found unexpectedly strong support over the past decade. Nobody would still officially mention the superiority of humans, but it is implied and assumed in as good as every instance of the Galactic Republic. Non-humans are normally being seen as lesser beings, regardless of their own origins or history.
In the midst of all this, there are still many non-humans who find the power of the Force awakening within them at some point in their life. The central Jedi Academy of the Galactic Republic finds ways to avoid accepting non-humans into their teachings though, and as such most non-humans who feel the Force at this day and age, do not receive training and do not become Jedi. However...
On an outer rim planet called Dantooine, believed by most people to hold nothing but farmers and scavenging criminal gangs, there is a smaller Jedi Enclave, devoted to one special cause: to train in the Force those who for one reason or another cannot join the central Academy.

plot
The RP will take place on Dantooine, where there is a small Jedi Enclave whose leaders have decided to train Force sensitive from all over the galaxy who hold potential but are rejected from the Academy on Coruscant. The Jedis here have eyes and ears all over the Republic and have likely either taken you in when you were rejected from the Academy, or stumbled upon you somewhere and sensed your high affinity for the Force and taken you in spontaneously. If you have played KOTOR or KOTOR2, you'll know what this place looks like. If not,
Apprentice players will be getting a mission (or a few) early in the RP, and that mission will pretty much comprise the whole RP. If we manage to end it, expect a sequel RP where the story continues :) Other players will have to do their best to interact with the Apprentice mission.
main role
6 spots! Apprentice: You may play as a newly awakened Force user. However, there is something wrong with you, to put it simply. In this corrupted and racist world, simply not being a human can be enough "wrong". If you choose to be human, you need to be odd or not accepted by society in one way or another. It might be kind of difficult in a galaxy as vast and strange as Star Wars', but you are welcome to try! As long as you are not too offensive or making anybody here look bad. Thanks. In any case, you will have arrived at the Enclave pretty recently and as such only just learned to build a light saber of your own, which you are probably not a master of yet unless you were a melee warrior of some kind before you got here. Note: you are most likely alien.
misc roles
3 spots! Scavenger/raider: You may play as an antagonist (at least you will initially be seen as one). Some kind of criminal residing on this godforsaken planet. You will not be force sensitive. You may be alien or human.
1 spot! Bounty hunter: You hail from elsewhere and have decided that Dantooine is a good place to collect some easy (?) cash since they seem to have a problem with criminals on their hard-to-oversee farmlands and goods. Law here is tricky though. Farm families set up their own bounties, and the Jedis at the Enclave also have some (which are probably more legal than the farmers'...) You will not be force sensitive. You may be alien or human.
sign-up sheet
Trying for role: (Apprentice/Raider/Bounty Hunter/Trader/Farmer)
Name:
Race: (you can pretty much make up any kind of race you want, think alien, think animal, think varieties of humankind, think cyborgs... uh I think you probably have to be organic in order to use the Force though. Remember that different roles are more or less likely to be human or alien)
Gender:
Age: (answer in a way that suits your race haha)
Appearance: (as little as much as you feel you can give. I'll let you know if I feel something is missing. Pictures are alright)
Lightsaber color: (Only for Apprentices! Green or Blue or Yellow. It's not a rule, but tradition that those who tend to favor studying the mysteries and powers of the force use green sabers. Those who favor battling, tactics and endurance use blue. Those who rather focus on other skills not strictly related to the force or fighting, such as robotics, non-melee weaponry, technology, flora/fauna, archeology... They traditionally use yellow sabers. You can only have one single lightsaber at the start)
Weapon proficiencies: (only for other roles than Apprentice! Tell us what weapons you are formidable with and usually carry around. Everybody uses weapons. Sort of)
"Issue": (only for Apprentices! why were you not accepted into the central Jedi Academy? If you are a non-human, just type "Alien". If you are human, you'll have to be creative!)
Personality: (likes, dislikes, flaws, strengths, interactions with others, how they see the world etc)
History: (where does your character come from, and what did they do before they arrived at Dantooine? Even as an Apprentice, you were not a Jedi before, you likely either didn't know you had the Force running through you, or you just didn't know how to control it yet)
rules
- Obey Pikachu. If you argue against my decisions, I will simply just kick you out, srs haha. This does in no way mean that I'll be a dictator, but. Be nice, please?
- The roleplay is rated M. But I'm not a fan of gore, so please don't go overboard with yucky stuff.
reserved spots
(reserves last for 48 hours, after that your spot will be opened up if you haven't posted a finished SU)
