Go ahead and do her!!!
Hey, now, Tellesto...It's not that kind of a story, right?
What you said is great, Lilith and Tellesto - so Sethnashri (that was his first name, right?) Karik is the kid, and Saruman Koby Yar is the wannabe: in which case the "ladies' man" is not accounted for, but I can live with that.
So then, with Tellesto's humorous hedgehog/ porcupine Jedi and my elderly female Jedi, we have seven! Somebody go get Bullwinkle and the others!
Now for the profile:
name: Menipa Porel
age: 66
history: Menipa Porel was discovered as a Jedi hopeful on Alderaan by the great Alamin Dei Bar, the same Ortolan Jedi Master who would many years later fail to prevent the all-too rash Rodian Jedi apprentice Matto Kozazi from hurtling straight towards disaster.
At the tender age of six months old, she was taken by him to Coruscant, where she was taught many of the basic techniques. Master Alamin taught her how to be in tune with her surroundings: a basic Jedi technique the Ortolan excelled in, because of the finely attuned sensory organs this alien race possesses. She never had much liking for the lightsaber though; still, upon completing her training, she constructed one like all Jedi have to, a very light blue lightsaber, which often appears more white than blue.
After her basic traing, she went as a Padawan along with her Master on several missions. It was on one of these occasions that Alamin told her about the special environment our planet possesses, like its abundance of the healing bacta-water,and other natural treasures like Llaamah, which are hypnotic flowers, a very desired item throughout the entire galaxy. Alamin feared for this planet: he had foreseen that one day in the future the Sith would come for it. It was on this planet that Menipa rediscovered the delights of wide-open, unconstrained nature, which she still subconsciously remembered from the first six months of her life on Alderaan, and which she had missed on the city-planet of Coruscant.
Menipa would grow up to be a valued Jedi knight. Although she was ever reluctant to engage in combat, she developed a keen strategic insight on the battlefield, which she often put to good use in preventing bloodshed.
When her former Master Alamin Dei Bar, lost his failed apprentice Matto Kozazi to the ongoing War Games on the planet of Rodia, she returned to Coruscant to console him. She was with Alamin on his deathbed, and his last request of her was to find young Kozazi, who was adrift somewhere in the galaxy...
personality: Very intelligent, warm, and self-sacricing, but often hesitant to engage in combat, even when this is necessary. Sometimes the always great devotion to the people she feels she has to protect has lead her to make the wrong decisions, although more often it has given her the drive to do exactly what was needed.
Menipa always has a very strong connection with her environment because of special techniques taught to her by her great pink-skinned Ortolan Jedi Master Alamin Dei Bar.

well very good!
also I want to mention that SOME creative licence can be taken with our characters-I dont want a rehash of the great Akira's work.
so i guess now it is time to create the planet and village that the smugllers/sith(horsemen are atacking.
I want it to be very similar to endor but also have alot of weird creatures and alot of villages or citys that are built together.
this large village is being atacked of course.
also I want all fans of the seven samurai classic to answer this.
is our story so far a very good remake of the 7 samurai that stays close to the original vison with extreamly cool jedi or simply a rehash or nt close to the 7 samurai at all?
i hope we are doing a good job!!!

February 1st is our deadline to begin the actual story, right?
I think the planet should be relatively small and seemingly unimportant (a la Endor, Naboo, and Tatooine; who could predict their overall impact on the galaxy?), but with maybe a few large cities, sorta like Mos Eisley, Mos Espa, and Anchorhead on Tatooine. But how important is the village to the planet, that the Sith would sacrifice the bandits and, eventually, themselves against Jedi for?
This is great! I'm hoping our story won't wind up competing with the one Womprat is doing solo, however.

what story?
also this is a very small forest planet that harvest bacta.
the sith's reasons for wanting it is
something that we should perhaps talk about in e-mail since we want to create a story that has a few suprises.here is the premise or plotline for the story if you will
-------------------------------------
the bandits and smugglers come to this planet and just crash on it. the bacta harvesters or farmers see the horrible things happening to there world so they gather and send out for jedi the peace keepers of the galaxy.
they find 7 jedi knights, none have confidence in the force and they need credits and a place to eat.
soon however they realise the true importance of the force and come up against the geruldion riders(a creature of similarity to a brontosaurus but much smaller,about horse size)
the riders are really sith who have their own agenda in wanting to conqure this planet and some day...the republic.
the saber master
the madman
the kind old veteran lady
the sarcastic monster
the wanna be
the padawan learner who is still a kid
and the brave and inspireing leader all must band together and have faith once again in the force to stop the sith/riders and the smugglers from terorizing this small planet.
---------------------------------------
how does that sound for the plot line?
lemme know if thats the baisic blunt for us to folow.
when we start the story soon in the first week of feb/we can create more time of you guys need it/ I want you to e-mail me in concerning the story once we start it to discuss what will happen to the characters.
we dont want the kind people of the force.net to know everything to this story.

Setnashrikarik: Not that it's really important, since most of the time we'll just call him Karik, But he's Togorian, which means it's growled out as one long throat-killing word. Karik is just the shortened version for Human use. If you want to separate it out into first and last names for fatherly talks and such, Set would act as a first and Karik as a last.

any one seen that great movie a bug's life?
well that is how we want to do our story.
not the same story line or anything but that is a good example of how they made a seven samurai inspired movie that was totaly original.
bug's life is baised on the 7 samurai actualy.
and if you watch it it is very funny to how similar yet amazingly original that is.
a friend told me today after telling him our story that it was awesome and that we are doing a good jobe because we remain to have the 7 samurai as our original inspiration but it is a self contained story as well.
plus the fact that it is in the horribly cool star wars universe shows just how wacky (in a good way) this story is!!!
are you guys as satisfyed as I am?
also I will put the hedgehog jedi on tomorow but then well have to call him by his name...not hedgehog jedi. LOL.
ok! lemme know what you think so far everybody!!! and that includes non writers on this story but the readers.
let us hear from you!!!

Radon Tulsk was a Dagaron from an unknown planet in the outer rim.
At the age of 6 he was sent from his planet as considered a threat due to his extreme power in the force.
Arriving at corocaunt he became an apprentice and eventually a padawan.
His master was Plo Koon who commanded him in the Jedi army.
He was considered a dangerous threat due to the fact that he came from the outer rim and that he had a rather unusual gift that runs through his species.
He is virtually covered from head to toe with a rather spiky looking fur.
The only visible feature on him in fact is his mouth and eyes!
But due to the nature of his species being extremely sensitive in the force his hair grows into large and deadly spikes once there is a disturbance in the force.
Seeing his potential to be deadly the Jedi placed him in a rather harsh area of the galaxy sending him on the worst missions under the worst conditions.
Once he went to the planet nabbo only to meet Queen Amidala along with several other Jedi knights.
He found her to be strangely strong around the force even though she was not a force user.
He even forced this matter into master Yoda’s hands explaining that she would one day have a large impact on the galaxy.
He was however placed back into the Jedi army and his prophecy was expelled.
In his times he told the republic of his species.
A great and powerful race that lived on a planet with no land at all.
Covered in nothing but water and full of misty sky’s his race would develop there astounding technology.
Even though his species is extremely strong they build elaborate armor and gadgetry for themselves.
Most looks like spiky devils with black thin sharp armor that has glowing lights strung among it.
They also build gigantic ships that sense many things throughout the great mist that surrounds their planet.
The republic after hearing of this extremely advanced species feared the worst.
But he assured them that they are a peace loving species and they would never hurt anybody. He was quite sad at times due to the fact that the Jedi never took action in their crusades to help as many people as they could.
They even steeped back and let the republic do the work.
Growing weary but anxious he found the legendary Jedi Delude Ord who viewed the same opinions as him but who also thought of the force as mere trickery.
Following a brave but downtrodden Ithiorian they set out for their own peace from violence and of course some credits to get by on.
Personality: kind but often cynical due to the fact that he thinks people only take his strength seriously and not his mind.
He is very self-sacrificing and can stand the harsh lavas of Sulust all due to his spiky hair and he is often testing his powers to their limit since he grew up away from his home planet.
Always looking at things in a joking matter due to people never taking him seriously.
He is very disappointed in the Jedi and there claims that they help all creatures in the galaxy.

Hey guys. This looks cool. (Sorry, I haven't replied lately because I have been busy. I started a fan fic. here and I have been very busy with that.) This sounds like it will be a cool story.
