I honestly think that finding Revan is directly tied to finding the True Sith. I also don't think the Exile just went off to train Jedi after TSL. The Exile knew what the stakes were, and knew that the most important thing for the galaxy would be to find the True Sith and eliminate them as a threat.
The plot for K2, I think suffered from not being finished. It's a much darker and much more complex story, which appealed to me. The first game is still better, but I think the second game had the capacity to surpass it. If only it had been finished... 
As for Revan/Exile, I don't think we're following canon. I believe we agreed on a female Revan (hence the inclusion of Carth, since good grief it's about time he found her already), and if that's the case, I'm cool with doing a male Exile.

Just poking my head in to say this sounds intriguing, and I can't wait to see how it goes.

Agreed on the Revan and Exile points.
I had seen the female Revan discussion, but it didn't seem as if anything was concrete yet, but a female Revan sounds good. I never actually played that way, so I'll need to brush up to see story differences.
I did, however, always play male Exile, yet I do have a question about it. Was Handmaiden the love interest there? I remember there being options, but I always hit on Mira.

haha, Mira always turned the Exile down cold for being 'too old,' I believe.  She cracked me up. I played as a guy once. The love interest was either Visas or Handmaiden, I'm not terribly picky as to which one it should be. Only did it once, so I'm not sure which character dynamic is better. Honestly, I do think Mira would make a much better romance, if only because Handmaiden is a spy (so where's the trust in that?) and Visas is entirely too subservient for my tastes in that relationship. Unless, of course, she has time to recover further from her time with Nihilus, and pulls out her butt-kicking boots. Then she could be awesome. Eh, I'll leave the male Exile experts to deal with that one- it's not my area of expertise. 
I almost always play as a female Revan, so I'll be happy to clarify any of the finer points, should anyone have any questions. The main difference in the female story arc is Carth's character arc, which abruptly cuts off if you play as a male. I never thought that was quite fair, since Bastila's character gets equal time in both versions. You just pull the 'best friends' card instead of the 'I love you' card at the end. Other than that, there's not much of a difference.

Revan and the Exile won't be the main focus, but they'll be in the plot.
As for the True Sith, as always they're manipulating things behind the scenes, as evidenced by the opening crawl and the fact that their agents in the Republic are organized into cells.
Well, I'll be sending out PM's to the inactive members, and give them 3 days to respond. By then, whoever doesn't respond will be listed as inactive and will be creative consultants.

Yes, I still live. Somehow, studying Physiology and Microbiology hasn't killed me yet. :P
Anyway, I'm not sure what I can do to help in here, though I did toss off a PM to Team_Ebon_Hawk about a possible character addition/creation, so I guess I'll see.

All right, here is my biography for my OC. I know there may still be some questions about her even after you read this; however, it's getting a bit late for me right now, so I can't really answer them tonight. Especially when it comes to the illness she has. I'll do my best to get to them in the morning, and also make any small edits or clarifications here.
Name: Sabyne Amberle
Gender: Female
Age: 32
Species: Human/Mandalorian (Father is human, Mother was Mandalorian)
Family: Zemil Amberle (father), Kortien Amberle (mother, deceased), Tierslae Amberle-Digarren (elder sister), Narin Amberle (younger brother).
Homeworld: Leria Kerlsil, a beautiful planet with a temperate climate located in the Mid-Rim. At this time in Galactic history, it is sparsely populated.
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 170
Hair: Red. Worn long and loose normally, tightly braided when on a mission.
Eyes: Blue
Build: Slim, yet athletic and well-muscled.
Force Sensitivity? Yes
Jedi Class: Although Sabyne most closely identifies with being a Jedi Consular, she does share a few traits with the Jedi Sentinels.
Main weapons: Twin lightsabers, both green.
Clothing: Sabyne has a few outfits she wears in the course of her travels:
Jedi Business – When on Jedi business, Sabyne wears a silver high-collared, full-body bodysuit/leotard beneath a sleeveless deep blue calf-length jerkin. She also wears matching blue gloves, black boots, and a black belt to hold her lightsabers. All of her garb is designed with maximum flexibility and range of motion in mind.
Civilian Garb – When merely about on her own, Sabyne’s garb is drastically different, though it keeps many of the same colors. She wears a cropped blue and silver bustier beneath a black vest, black pants trimmed with silver, black boots, black gloves trimmed with blue, and a nondescript dark belt.
Additional note: Due to her illness (more information below), she frequently covers the lower half of her face with a mask while in either outfit, so as to reduce the possible risk to spreading the disease.
Personality: While Sabyne is a strong, determined individual who is wary around strangers, she is also a kind, compassionate individual, who is not above giving away the last of her food to someone who needs it more than she. She is extremely loyal and protective towards her friends, and will fight an enemy to the death in order to keep them from harm.
Bio: Born on Leria Kerlsil to Zemil and Kortien Amberle, Sabyne lived happily with her family for her first few years of life. When she was still a young child, her Force sensitivity was discovered, and she was taken for training. Placed with Master Darcia Rohn, she excelled in her training, achieving her knighthood at age twenty. Master Rohn, a Corellian by birth, would take her apprentice with as she traveled to and from her homeworld, periodically making stops on Leria so Sabyne could visit her own family.
A year after she earned her knighthood, Sabyne learned her mother was on the brink of death and asking for her. Her mother died a few weeks after she returned home, and Sabyne returned to her Jedi duties soon after her funeral. Several years passed, and suddenly Sabyne began showing similar symptoms to those her mother often showed when ill. Afraid her life will end before she can help others who might contract this disease, Sabyne requests special permission from the Council to research the illness as she performs her other duties, hoping a cure can be found before she too succumbs to it.

I only hit on Mira, the other two girls weren't hot enough IMO.
I mean if Handmaiden had longer hair and looked half hot then I say lets go.
Meaning I had no love story.
Also the Exile's character seems to be that of a sad loner or just a loner.
I say he has no love story yet in a way wants love.
So that just Leaves Revan's or our own lead OC's love story.
I don't think we need both.

However, The Exile did train several Jedi, that are presumably helping to rebuild whatever Jedi Order they can.

My thoughts on romance: Khaylia's is the most important, whoever the Big Romance ends up being. She's the main character, ergo she gets the most plot consideration.
Revan: Revan's romance is already in place. Part of Carth's character arc will be explaining his search for her, and Khaylia getting to know a little about their history. But since it's already developed, it's not like it would overshadow the plot. And don't get me started on Carth's quiet, but strong and steady love. Just about broke my heart in K2, and I love the idea that he doesn't advertise it, but at the same time it's an undercurrent of everything he does. It really is quite beautiful in its simplicity.
This is all to say that the presence of the romance should be understated to the point that it won't get in the way of anything else.
The Exile: I actually think it should have nothing to do with looks, because that's excessively shallow, but everything to do with characterization. In which case, I'm okay with him being a loner (and then he can still totally hit on Mira, because that was hilarious). Any other opinions on the matter?

The Exile hitting on Mira is fine with me. I think it'd be pretty funny. Maybe it just is seen by everyone as two friends having their own unique connection.
Are we going to give the Exile a name, or just go with "The Exile?"
How many people still need to submit OCs for consideration so we can get to hammering out the party and where they get picked up.

Appologies for being absent. Been busy, and then sick. I'll try to get a CS up, though I'll admit I have had little inspiration as yet. I'll do my best though. 
If you should need to move on, I would ocmpletely understand.

Sounds like Murphy's Law of Story Planning has been kicking in for most of us. No worries, I'm still standing by waiting for things to get rolling again.
On the whole romances thing, what about having a few unrequited loves tossed in there as well? F'rinstance, when I use Sabyne in my writings, she has a crush (of sorts) on Carth that goes from there but ultimately leaves her heartbroken. Maybe we could toss in a few instances of romantic angst. (Note that this was the first example that came to my mind of this. I'm not actually suggesting using this in the story unless everyone agrees it's a good thing.)
