Welcome to the First Installment of...
SANCTUARY OF THE FORCE
STORY
The year is
1156 ABY
and the Second Galactic Empire, which has been in power for just over nine hundred years, is beginning to fall apart from corruption, misguided philosophy, and short-sighted Emperors. During its time, this Empire has seen the rising and quelling of Rebellions, time after time. But before, the Empire had been near its apex of power; now it is falling at an exponentially increasing rate.
However, for the inhabitants of Space Station QL-95, it does not matter; for they have long been a sovereign, self-governing body on the very edges of known space. They are the generations of the remnants of those that had once called themselves the Jedi and those that had once called themselves the Sith; for the rise of the Second Galactic Empire had brought with it the downfall of all those who used the Force… or so it seemed to the galaxy at large.
However, a few had survived and put aside their differences, if only for a while, to establish a sanctuary for them, their children, their children’s children, and so on. But things didn’t go as expected; the Second Galactic Empire never fell and so both Jedi and Sith children learned and played together, and soon there were no distinction between the two groups. There were only the users of the Force.
After centuries of isolation from the rest of the galaxy, the offspring form the two great orders have become a single, coherent entity; the Followers. They have but one philosophy, one Force, and one Code.
They believe that they are to have compassion for others, that which they define as unconditional love. As such, they believe they are encouraged to forge emotional bonds with other; they believe that such is unavoidable, yet only makes them stronger. They have a tight-nit community, where everyone has their own significant role in keeping the Station up and running.
However, things are starting to go awry; the new generation is becoming restless and eager to leave the safety of their sanctuary. Many Followers are once more dividing up with their own interpretations of the ancient texts. The Station is on the brink of catastrophe. What happens next may well be triggered by the actions of a single person. Only time can tell…
RELIGIONS
Shi
The Shi believe that the Force is living; a conscious being that directs our lives and influences our will. They will blindly lay down their lives for what they believe in, if they must. While still believing in marriage, though they discourage too much attachment between partners, outside of reproductive matters. Using the Force is not a matter of too much concern, and they wish it to be unrestricted in use.
Restrictions: Can only wield one, single-bladed lightsaber. GM can force character to do things for his beliefs that he/she might not ordinarily do.
Sanii
Sanii are heavily involved in the Force, but think of it more as a tool and object of focus, rather than a sentient being. Attachment is untouched by their beliefs, believing all is fair in both love and war, so to speak. However, they refuse to use Force Powers they deem dangerous, such as the draining of another being’s life force.
Restrictions: No use of darkside powers. Cannot wield two lightsabers at a time.
Amura
Amurites (Followers subscribing to the Amura faith) are well-versed in physical combat, and, as such, are naturally weaker in the Force. They have deep beliefs that forbid them to use the Force in such a way that would affect their physical body; for the nature of their training is in the physical realm. The particulars of the Force are of little consequence to them, and so they get along with both the Sanii and the Shi, whilst the two groups have constant quarrels with each other.
Restrictions: No use of lightside powers. Powers are significantly weaker than if used by someone trained as a Sanii or Shi.
RULES
Obey the TOS and RPF Forum-specific rulings.
The GM’s word is final in any and all disagreements and situations. No ‘ifs,’ ‘ands,’ or ‘buts.’
PM ME THE CHARACTER SHEETS FOR APPROVAL
!!!
Respect your fellow RPers.
Please, don’t even send in a CS if: A) You don’t have much RPing experience or B) Don’t have enough time to commit to Role-playing. If you are found not to have enough experience, you will be kindly asked to leave the game, via PM, and redirected to the RPF Resource Forum.
Keep OOC to a minimum.
Please, post in IC/TAG format (or a sensible variable thereof)
and
write in third-person past-tense
ONLY
!!!
No God-Moding. The definition of such is: the control of any character not your own, or a major NPC. Deus ex Machina counts as God-Moding. First-time violators will be attributed with a warning. Upon the second violation, killing of character, requiring one to make another character to play, or else leave the game. Third offense calls for killing of second character and banning from game.
This installment will only involve Station-bound characters!!! Future installments may allow for other characters, depending on what happens during this game.
Be careful of creating a Mary Sue/Gary Stu character; they WILL be rejected at the CS stage.
I will only be accepting eight players for now. As the story progresses, I may allow more players.
Have fun. :grin:

Areas of the Station
Capacity Room
The Capacity Room is the largest area in the station, and a place for sports, recreation, relaxation, and study whilst intermingling with other Followers.
Quarters
Quarters are spacious, well-furnished rooms designed for up to five occupants, depending on family size. They contain a communications system, back-up generator, mirror, holo, bed(s), and portable food and drink storage device.
Energy Room
For the technicians of the Station; this is where power is collected and distributed throughout the Station. For the children, however, this makes an excellent meeting place, and a fun place to play… as long as they don’t get caught.
Kitchen/Mess Hall
This is where most people get their nutritional supplements on the Station, and where most of such is cooked.
Greenhouse
The greenhouse doubles as a garden and a food source. Its main attraction is the large sphere of water that floats in the center of the room, suspended by anti-grav machinery.
Classrooms
Here are where younglings are taught and trained by Masters.
Meditation Rooms
Here, Masters and Younglings alike can meditate in an artificial, or natural, environment of their choice.
RANKS
Grandmaster - Position held by GM; attained at an old age, with famous recognition and extraordinary talent from an early age
Vizier - Part of the Station’s Council; attained after many daring feats and missions, and achieving extraordinary wisdom and recognition
GreatKnight - Highest nonranking Follower; attained after numerous missions
Knight - Attained after accomplishing a good many missions
Squire - Attained after finishing Apprenticeship
Apprentice - Attained at age 12 and when taken under the wings of a Follower at least of the Squire rank
Youngling - All Followers under the age of 12
MISSIONS
The Followers believe that their duty is to help shape the galaxy. They do secretively, and often in small ways. Missions are assigned by Viziers, though more important ones can be assigned by the Grandmaster himself. Missions are often conducted by Master-Apprentice teams.
NOTE: This RP is
Alternate Universe
!
I look forward to RPing with you all!!!

GM OOC:
Due to the sudden halt in the flow of CSs, and the fact that it has been four days with little participation, I will give, for anyone who hasn't already to send in a CS, until 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, tonight. If I have requested a revision, you have until 9:00 PM, tonight (and again Eastern Time), to send in a revised CS.
At that time, I will post the Dramatis Personae, ask that all approved CSs be posted, and deliver the opening posts. Once we begin, anyone else wishing to participate may resume sending in their CSs. Anyone approved after the eight-player limit will have to be put on the wait list.
NOTE: Board Time is two hours behind EST, for reference.
Thank you,

Biography: Josh grew up in the Sanctuary to parents that died at birth. His mother, Lina died in Ken’s childbirth. Raged with anger his father, Rudil, tried to kill Ken, when he was caught in the act, he was executed.
Joshua and Ken went into separate families until Josh became 16 and went on his own. At 17 Josh took custody of Ken, and they became a family again. Josh turned 18 he became more of a powerful force user. His power doesn’t seem to die down, and often loses control. Joshua and Ken make their lives inside of a Dormitory.
NickLitYouAFlame as August Say!
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Species: Human
Religion: Amura
Rank: Youngling
Personality
---Traits: His character is still developing, but what has been seen of him is a caring, eager and lively youth.
---Likes: Starships and space.
---Dislikes: QL-95, small spaces and being a youngling.
---Habits: Bounces leg, taps tables.
Family: Juno Say, August’s mother, she is overbearing and protective August avoids her, as much as possible. Xander Say, August’s father, he and August are on good terms, August likes his stories of the old days.
Appearance
---Skin Color: Pale, slightly glowing.
---Hair Color: Copper, red, orange, brown and blonde. Naturally highlighted, but primarily red and copper.
---Eye Color: Light grey, nearly silver.
---Clothing: Skintight black jumpsuit and a utility belt.
---Other Details: His skin is perfectly clear. He has an alien look to him.
Items: Slicer equipment.
The Force
---Sensitivity: Weak
---Lightsaber
-----Crystal(s): Opila and Damind
-----Blade(s): Shoto-length, very bright. The blade is slightly longer than normal shotos and thinner.
-----Color(s): Silvery-blue
-----Hilt Description(s): The hilt is smaller in diameter than a usual hilt, to allow for quicker attacks and faster saves.
---Force Ability(ies): Repulse, Resuscitation, Sever, Comprehend Speech
---Force Weakness(es): Most nearly all other force powers. He is especially bad at any that influence his own body.
---Force Object(s): None
Biography: August was born a small child and he nearly died at the time. It was a miracle he survived, because he was such a small baby. The fact that he is so mentally and physically tough, is the reason he is an Amurite. That, and the fact that he has such a strange connection to the Force.
He can only manipulate it in certain ways and to varying extents and with certain conditions. His repulse is unnaturally powerful, he is capable of throwing Masters away from him, as he has demonstrated.
Only once, was he angry enough to Sever the Force, and that was after his parents split up. He used the power to cut off his friend’s connection for a short while. The same goes for Resuscitation. He is only able to do so at his most angry moments, but is able to open old wounds and then heal them back.
Both of those powers are inconsistent and work in strange ways. It is unknown if training will allow him to focus them. The ability to comprehend other languages through the Force, is an innate ability.
His strange connection to the Force, has lead Masters to be wary of taking him as their apprentice. It has made him introverted, withdrawing himself and studying on his own. He is very quick and his lightsaber skills are finely developed for such a young man, especially one without proper training.

Finally determining that, although her mother and father were normal, Ailya was Force sensitive, and had unconsciously used the force to survive the accident.
She was shunned by her parents, and sent to an internment camp. When she was twelve, the government had finally gotten around to executing her. She was given a potent toxin that would kill her painlessly.

Biography: Vincent was conceived by the Force in his mother’s womb, alongside his twin sister. Hailed as a miracle, the young man and his sister were given preferential treatment, to say the least. He thoroughly enjoyed the attention; his sister, on the other hand, did not.
When Vincent attained the rank of Apprentice, he was sent to be tutored by the Grandmaster himself; Tanon Silka. Jaylen was appreciative that her brother was the one being ‘smothered to death with attention,’ as she once put it. She, after all, despised being the center of attention for even a moment.
However, the death of Tanon came just before Vincent was to take the Trial of Squire. People rallied for a new Grandmaster, one that could be just as, even more, powerful as Tanon. The Followers chose Vincent.
At first he was unsure, but when the Followers became restless Vincent accepted, becoming the youngest ever Grandmaster of the Followers at the inexperienced age of twenty-two.
Since, he has had but two Apprentices. Recently, he has taken notice of a twelve year old Youngling, and is getting ready to take the boy as his apprentice… unbeknownst the young one.
Since time, I do not have, post the opening posts, I will not.
Seriously though, opening posts in the morning, EST.

GM OOC:
Please note that, while I have allowed the player's characters to have their precious über-powerful Force powers, use of these more powerful powers will result in your character becoming very exhausted: EG. John uses Electric Judgement, but tires moments later, rendering all but the most trivial of powers useless.
If the players themselves don't RP it as such, I will do it myself... and make things even worse than they would normally be. Use of such powers while a character is already exhausted could easily result in a GM-sanctioned character death.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Despite, opening posts up next post.

RE: Sanctuary of the Force
Here are the long-awaited opening posts...
NOTE: When you reply, please use your assigned colors, so that I can keep everythng, and everyone, straight. Or else.
Also NOTE: I meant it when I said 'sensible variable thereof' when referring to IC/TAG Format; the following is the only one I'm aware of that I endorse. If you wish, submit to me a variation that you will use BEFORE you post in that format in
Sanctuary
.
Character - Post Color
Joshua Karn - Royal Blue
"John" Dalitrhkle - Crimson
August Say - Green
Ailya - Teal
Kidajj Polis - Sienna
Additions to the Sanctuary:
Arboretum
The Arboretum is an area in the Greenhouse spefically for personal gardening and teaching of plant biology for the younglings.
Hangar
The Hangar is not a single room, but a strip of various landing platforms inside an organic-metal "alloy" bubble on the Sanctuary. There are hundreds upon thousands ships docked or free-floating in the hangar, though only a few are assigned for personal use. The rest are used as garrison ships if the need to defend the Sanctuary ever becomes reality.
Of
Joshua Karn
&
Reljonkah “John” Clan Dalitrhkle
in the
Capacity Room
In the spacious area of the Capacity room, in the northeastern-most corner stood the tallest of trees in all the Sanctuary. Under this shade-providing tree were two hunched figures, looking over a handheld holopad. If one were to look from afar, they would see what looked like two Apprentices studying for their Knightship Exams. However, upon closer inspection, once would see that the Human and Noghri both wore the off-brown robes of Sanii Knightship over their regular clothing. Their intentions would thus be a mystery... unless you were them yourself.
The Human, a clean-shaven boy of eighteen years, hailed as
Joshua Karn
. The Noghri, wearing a Krayt Dragon skin underneath his robes, was christened Reljonkah Clan Dalitrhkle, but was more affectionately, if you would dare say so, called "
John
," due to the difficulty of pronouncing his name.
" Here,"
Joshua
said, pointing at the anomolous reading on the star chart,
"is where the
Sanctuary's Phantom
disappeared. This just doesn't make any sense..."
As the Human retracted his pointing finger,
John
reached out and tapped the hologram just several centimeters away from where
Joshua
had pointed (which, in reality, were many kilometers apart), and waited for the program to zoom in. When it did so,
John
pointed at the single object on the screen; a main sequence yellow star, nearing the end of its life. Around it, there should have been planets; but the chart showed none. Something wasn't right, obviously.
"I believe,"
John
said, slowing his speech down so the Human could understand,
"we may find our answer here, in the Verael system."
The Human raised an eyebrow in question, looking the firce Noghri in the eyes. Several seconds passed before John realized the unspoken question.
"I know there were planets here on the charts at least three months ago; a peace convoy went missing there and the council sent me and Trayus to investigate. There were Trandoshan pirates out that way; I have a feeling they may have something to do with the disappearance... and for the deletion of chart records."
"How?"
"I'm not sure... but let us not waste time; the sooner we depart, the sooner I can...
relax
again."
Joshua
opened his mouth to say something along the lines of sparring hardly being relaxing, but closed it again, figuring that arguing with a Noghri was far from a pleasant way to spend a day onboard a transport... Especially one with small rooms. Instead, the young man shut off the holopad and followed the Noghri into the twisting corridors of the Sanctuary.
When they appeared in the bottom floor of the hangar, a young female Twi'lek ,obviously a 'receptionist', greeted the two Sanii.
"Are you two leaving on Sanctuary or Personal business," she asked, addressing them both.

Of
Ailya
&
Kidajj Polis
in the
Energy Room
Quite often, even the highest-ranked and the lowliest-ranked Followers are stuck on guard duty in the Sanctuary's Energy Room. Their assignment; to stop Younglings and the younger, less mature Apprentices from using the Sanctuary's main power processing area as their personal playroom. However, the job is easier said than done.
"Now shoo; the Energy Room isn't for young Followers,"
the young Twi'lek,
Ailya
, said, making the adequate 'shooing' motion towards a raucous young Apprentice, cuahgt in the act of sneaking in through the air ducts; a dangerous trick, but one she remembered, quite well, in fact, trying at the boy's age herself.
The Apprentice mumbled something, likely cursing her, as he walked out.
Around the corner walked someone she knew very well; her guard-duty partner, a GreatKnight that went by the name of
Kidajj
. While he certainly
looked
like a Human, he claimed to be an Epicanthix, whatever that was. The look on his face was that of annoyance; then agian, he had that facial expression on a lot of the time.
"Catch another Youngling out by the the main generator, have you?"
Ailya
asked, a grin slowly spreading across her face.
"Right again... An strange-looking Human boy, that one. Hold on..."
Kidajj
pointed at the far-eastern generator. Ailya turned around quickly eough to see a shadow run across the lighted walling.
He looked at her, the slightest hints of a smile tugging at the curls of his lips, and said,
"I've got the little rascal."

August Say
in the
Meditation Rooms
August
paced his meditation chamber, sulking. A stinking, rotten Great Knight had thrown him out of the Energy Room; and all he had wanted to do was play with his only
real
friend, Amanda. But no; adults didn't want him to have any fun. Just work, work, work! That's all they did!
Suddenly, he noted the sounds of approaching footsteps otuside of the chamber.
August
quickly sat down and crossed his legs, taking on a figure of serenity and peace. just as quickly, he tryed, and likely failed, to retract the anger from his Force presence.
Even with his eyes closed,
August
knew someone had entered without asking, and was standing just several feet away, waiting for the Youngling to notice. He figured he'd mess with him, by pretending not to notice.
The stranger waited for but several moments, then cleared his throat.
August
pretended to ignore him.
"Er, August?"
August
sighed, then opened his eyes to find a messenger, Rylos Yuir, in fact, standing in front of him. Rhylos was the only adult
August
liked; the older man, a Zabrak, snuck him extra food whenever he was having a bad day.
"Yes?"
"The... how do I put it? This is just so amazing..." The one-eyed Zabrak paused, thinking for a moment, then finally said, "The Grandmaster wishes to speak with you."

Of
August Say
in
the Meditation Rooms
August
’s anger was drowned out by excitement. He nearly leapt from his sitting position at
Rhylos
. His arms twitched, but he contained himself. He slowly pushed himself to his feet. Feigning disinterest, he shook his hair out of his eyes.
He reached behind him, for the hilt of his lightsaber. Nothing happened. August scowled. He shook his arm and the hilt ignited, flying towards his head. With the speed of a Divto, he jerked his face away. The blade sung by, singeing his cheek. His hand leapt to it and he yelped. It would most likely scar.
His hilt lay on the ground. He cursed himself and his weakness. Then, he cursed his mother, for bearing a worthless child. It made him wonder why the Grandmaster wanted to see him. Was he taking pity on August? Was this a plan schemed by his mother? August’s good mood shattered and he walked towards the Zabrak and barked.
“Well, where is the Grandmaster?”

"Oh right,"

said, mentally berating himself for being so careless, "Grandmaster Solo is in the Greenhouse, by the floating sphere. I would suggest you hurry." The Zabrak looked down at

IC:
Joshua Karn
at the
Receptionist Desk, outside of the hangar-
“Sanctuary business”
“You’re Clear, down that hall and to the left”
The receptionist ordered.
Joshua tilted his head in a slight bow, as they walked on. He glanced over and John, then back at the holocron. He then looked down the hall, until we turned again into another curved passage. The walls and halls were very casual, nothing out of the ordinary. Besides, what they just were discussing. It seemed odd that it would go missing. The finally came to a door that they could pass through to get into the hangar.
“Very odd”
Joshua said to particularly himself, not minding if anyone were to hear. Joshua often talked out of his thoughts, but he really didn’t mind what people thought, or heard.
Joshua and John passed through the door into the hangar where a transport lay. They walked past service droids cleaning up ruble, from something Joshua didn’t want to hear about. Joshua looked up at the transport, it was a standard sized ship, and he was used to fighters. Not cruisers. Joshua saw John moved closer to enter, Joshua followed.

Of
Ailya
in the
Energy Room
Ailya was a patient woman, but these youngsters were getting on her nerves.
Kidajj
went off after another one.
A noise from the corner drew her attention. With a shake of her head and a curling of her finger, the youngling was raised into the air.
"
Your not suppose to be in here, you know that right?
" The young man nodded to her and she set him down. "
Go on.
" she prodded.
The young man pouted as Ailya escorted him to the door. She was beginning to feel like an old mother disciplining her children, instead of a seventeen year old Squire.
She was glad that the guard shift was almost over. She was anxious to get back to her garden. She was working on a new strain of
Epican Wheat
that could survive more harsh climates.
She looked back over at
Kidajj
he was bent over trying to coax a youngling out from under some equipment. The duty could be worse, she could have been stuck with someone without a sense of humor. She tilted her head a little. The view wasn't that bad either.

RE: Sanctuary of the Force
IC: Kidajj Polis
Things had gone normally with his duty of guarding the energy room. For the life of him, Kidajj couldn't think of a reason why children would want to play around there of all places.. or why they would come back so frequently after several reprimands on different occasions. Sometimes it was hard to keep in mind that they were younglings and didn't have the concept of a code of honor embedded within them yet. Even with that though, they should know better. Such pranks and mischief was above these younglings. And as soon as he got the one out now that was hiding from him, he would make sure they all knew it.
He bent over and poked his head into the spot where the young man was crouched in the darkness, trapped. Kidajj held out his hand to the shadowy figure, and spoke in a low calm voice.
"Come now. Time to leave little one."
He continued to prod at the boy but to no avail. He simply didn't want to leave.
"Fine... have it your way."
Kidajj stood and opened himself to the Force. He crossed his arms across his chest as it enveloped him. He felt the boy inside the hole, with his knees to his chest, everything around him. The air they were breathing. Absolutely everything...
Which was when he felt another set of eyes on him. He looked over and saw his younger counterpart lookin at him. It was an interesting look. Kidajj was confused as what to make of it.
Kidajj thought to himself as he surrounded the boy with the Force and slid him on his rear on out the duct. Right into the shins of the waiting Kidajj. The boy looked up and scrambled to his feet, then dashed out the main door.
His squire partner tonight was rather pretty indeed, but he kept his mind off of that for the time being. She was still young and no doubt had an interest in a great many things, if not people. For now Kidajj would brush the look off and continue on in his duty.
He leaned against the entranceway and closed his eyes, arms still crossed, letting the Force continue to flow around him in case anyone else tried to get in.
His eyes remained closed as he spoke to Ailya.
"And how are we doing tonight, Miss Ailya?"

She felt Kidajj tap into the Force. He glanced back at her, probably felt her eyes upon him. She didn't look away, in fact she smiled. She wasn't bashful when it came to the opposite gender. Men looked at her, and she felt like it was only fair to return the complement.
He turned back to the duct. A youngling slid out of the duct, and stopped at his feet. The young boy dashed out the door.
"And how are we doing tonight, Miss Ailya?"
She was leaning against a piece of equipment with three objects floating in front of her, a large bolt, a hydrospanner, and a small wall panel. She was juggling them with the Force, catching and tossing them to keep them in the air. It was something she use to do as a youngling, and it kept her mind off of the closed in spaces of the
Energy Room
.
"Well including the one you just evicted we're at six. I just don't understand why they like it down here. Its too cramped."
She continued to juggle the items.

"Well including the one you just evicted we're at six. I just don't understand why they like it down here. Its too cramped."
Kidajj nodded. He wasn't a big fan of cramped areas either. He was a tall being and liked open area to move in. It was truely boggling why people liked playing in a room such as this. It was also equally as strange that a GreatKnight and a Squire would both be needed to guard it. But he wasn't complaining. Even if he did have age and experience on Ailya in many ways, he enjoyed her company. Something about the hue of her skin that was calming to the eyes. Her appearance was slightly misleading towards her abilities. And it was these that truely caught his attention at most times. He gave her a charming smile, creases forming on his cheeks from the motion throughout his life.
"I dont pretend to understand it myself. But. It is what it is I suppose. Shift is almost over anyway. Come sit with me wont you? I am interested in discussing your recent progress in studies and life. Tell me what is new, we haven't talked in a while."
As if drawing her closer he nudged the objects she was juggling with his own influence, bringing them closer.
