RE: New Jedi Trials

I need a big favor from someone.
I need someone to PM me the instructions for constructing a lightsaber using HTML. I belong to this blindness group on yahoo.com, and I am going to try to find out if there is any way that I can draw lightsabers using HTML. I know it's early to be talking about this since I am still an initiate, but I have to learn HTML. I need time to do that, and learn anything else I may need to accomplish this task.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Master Inty posted:
Padawan Slice, thank you for completing your task in a timely manner. I especially loved this line: "When Inty kills him, he will be survived by his wife Abbie. Also by their three daughters, Bailey, Lauren, and Dana." Your ability to mix humor in with learned knowledge was impressive.
For this task, you have earned the grade of ... Good
Thank you!  You're too kind.
Master Inty posted:
Now, for your third task.
Padawan Slice, you must understand the Jedi who have gone before you.
Here is what I want from you:
Tell me which Jedi, from the movies or the EU, you most wish to pattern your own career after. Provide me with three pictures of that Jedi. Give me a one paragraph biography of that Jedi, and give me a one paragraph explanation of why you wish to pattern your Jedi career after that Jedi.
I then want to see your creative side. I wish for you to create a piece of art dedicated/about this Jedi. It can be original fan art, an original poem, or an original song.
May the Force be With You
  I shall have to very carefully consider which Jedi I'd like to emulate; they all have their virtues, and yes, their faults.

Master Chukles, I have completed my task. I hope you don't mind, but it is considerable longer than 250 words! 
about the name. my padawan name is Padawan Sunkisser, but my given name is Junna-Lee, after my RP chacter.
Sunkisser
By SUGARBANTJINN
Jedi Master Chukles and his 17 yr old Padawan, Sunkisser, sat around the campfire in the glowing twilight of Ragoon-6. They had come for a vacation, and a bit of wilderness training. Their first night the planet, it was still easy-going, but with a pair like Master Chukles and Padawan Sunkisser, adventure was a guarantee!
Placing a puffy blue mushmallon on the end of a stick, the teenaged girl glanced across the fire at her master. Was it just the reflection of the flames, or was that a glint of mischief in his eyes? It could’ve been just the flickering shadows playing tricks on her eyes, but the ripple of amusement she felt through the Force confirmed that that was indeed a barely-contained smile on his face.
-If he wished to share, he will- she told herself, slowly roasting her fluffy treat.
But 3, and then 4 minutes passed, and not a word was said. And still he had that odd smile.
Finally she gave up. “What are you thinking, Master?” she asked with an uncertain smile of her own.
Letting out a short chuckle, that glint in his eyes got brighter as he answered, “I was just reminiscing… do you remember how you got the name ‘Sunkisser’? “
Tugging on her dirty-blond Padawan braid she rolled her eyes good-naturedly. “How could I forget? The sheer mortification of it seared it into my brain forever!” she exclaimed with a giggle.
It had happened when she was 11. She had been in the map room, studying for a report she was assigned for her galactic geography and history class. She had pulled up the outer core and was working her way inward with the intent of finding a unique star-system.
She had been so engrossed in her search that she wouldn’t even notice when another Jedi would enter, or leave the room, and, consequently, had adopted her ‘concentration face’ that she had been working so hard to rid herself of; it was a ridiculous expression with furrowed eyebrows and puckered lips. Her friends would always tease her, saying she looked like she was about to kiss something she was rather frustrated with!
So completely engrossed that it took her a full two minutes to realize that Master Yoda was standing in the doorway, tapping his gimmer stick on the floor.
Quickly she rose from the squat she had been in- a little quickly, in fact, for she somehow tripped on the hem of her robe. Arms pin wheeling, her datapad went flying and she landed on her stomach, just catching herself before she banged her chin into the floor. Dazed, it was a few seconds before she noticed she still had that idiotic look on her face. And what’s more, she had landed facing a binary system, her lips just touching the larger of the two stars, while the planets spun around her head.
She could feel the heat radiating from her face, and knew she must be as red as Master Tii. Carefully she climbed to her feet. Turning towards the diminutive master, she realized he was not alone- Master Chukles was with him, wearing a barely-concealed grin, and holding her wayward datapad in an outstretched hand.
Bowing to each one in turn, she said softly, “Thankyou for catching my datapad, mater Chukles.” She accepted it from his hand and stepped back, humbly awaiting the reprimand she was sure would come.
Master Yoda was the first to speak, but not the words she was expecting to hear. “Found padawan Junna-Lee we have, it seems, Master Chukles,” and laughed his soft, gravelly laugh. Then to her he said, “Looking for a padawan Master Chukles has been. Watching you he has been as well. Impressed with your skill and,” his next word was totally poised, but there was a sparkle of humor in his big green eyes, “grace with the lightsaber, as well as your knowledge and grasp of the Force he is. Master Chukles?” and Master Yoda stepped back.
Clearing his throat and schooling his features to a serious face, but smiling invitingly, he began. “As the Master said, I have been keeping an eye on you, and have been very impressed! I was wondering if you would be interested in training under me as my Padawan learner?”
Junna-Lees’ eyes were wide, as they had been for moments now,. Her excitement was almost tangible, but she strictly reigned it in and carefully bowed, her clumsiness still not forgotten.
“It would be an honor, Master,” she said, kneeling and bowing her head, as she’d seen other padawans do when being chosen.
Master Chukles grinned and placed a hand on her shoulder. Throwing a secret smile to Master Yoda, and a conspiratorial wink at his new Padawan, he said with great grandeur, “Then, I hereby dub you….Padawan…Sunkisser!”
Junna-Lee jerked her head up to see both masters smiling and Master Chukles open arms. Relief coursed through her and bubbled out in uncontainable giggles as she rose and stepped into his offered hug. Leaving the maps behind, the laughter of the three Jedi echoed in the vacated room and preceded them down the hall.

DarthIntegral posted:
Attention, at the request of Chukles, I will be taking on a second Padawan. SonicUniverse will also be my Padawan.
Henceforth, for the duration of your training, you shall be known as Padawan Mushroom Kingdom
You have already completed one task, the finding of old council members and the fan-fic about Horax. For that, you have been given the grade of: good.
For your first official task as my padawan, here is your task:
It is important, as I told Slice for a Jedi to understand themselves. To that end, your task is to:
1) Figure out why you were given the name Mushroom Kingdom
2) Give a brief (3-5 line) bio of three main figures that relate to the name
3) Provide a picture of two others.
Good luck, Padawan.
Padacousin has to be the best term ever! XD. Now this is the third time I've attempted to post the task, this time I typed it in iWork first. Hopefully this third one is sufficient because it is shorter than the last two times I did it.
(1)
I'm not sure if you wanted a large explanation of the Mushroom Kingdom which I had when I did the task the first time, but this time I think I am just going to say that the reason I received the name Mushroom Kingdom because my username is "SonicUniverse" and the rival of the fiction video game character Sonic the Hedgehog was Super Mario who resides in the Mushroom Kingdom.
(2)
(a) Now for the biographies, I'll start with Mario. Mario is a portly plumber who resides in the Mushroom Kingdom. He is most noteworthy for his jumping ability hence his original name, "Jumpman." His adventures usually involve saving the princess and he has also been involved in AMAZING RPGs like Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and the Paper Mario Series. I note those games because I believe they are the best games I've ever played. In the games, he sports many awesome weapons like his fists of fury and turtle shells that he hurls at enemies.
(b) Now for the second biography, I chose Princess Toadstool for this one. Princess Toadstool is the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and is usually the damsel in distress in all the Mario games exept for Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars where she actually joins your party in a quest to defeat the evil Smithy. In that game she wields deadly weapons of "style" such as a parasol and a frying pan.
(c) And finally my favorite character in the Super Mario Bros. Series. This final biography is about Bowser. He is the antagonist of the series and is always kidnapping Princess Toadstool in an attempt to marry her and invade the Mushroom Kingdom. He is a green dinosaur like enemy and is the last boss in all but a few games like Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars where he sports many deadly weapons like his claws and a chained mace.
(3)
Finally the third part of the task, because I've been talking about about Super Mario RPG I've decided to post a picture of two characters from that game. The first one is Mallow, the prince from a land called Nimbus, and Geno the protector of the "Star Road."

Padawan Mushroom Kingdom, you have done well to complete this task.
You have been given a grade of Good for this task, though I am under the impression that your task would have been excellent were it not for a few setbacks.
For your next task, I would like you to translate the words of the great Yoda.
"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
Explain why Fear, anger, hate, and suffering are against the Jedi way.
Give one example of each a Jedi has faced in one of the six movies (a different Jedi for each, please). Explain also how you would overcome each of these in your path to becoming a Jedi.
May the Force be with you.
