Kenobiwan...the Librarian checked the register and did not find a Jedi of your species and age in the Temple, therefore...you do not exist.

 

Can someone shut this old guy up? I think he's on his way to get Alzheimer.

 

He's old enough to know that I'm joking.

 

That's what I like about ya oldies, you take the jokes as they are meant to be.
Huggies to aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall tah oldies.

 

I can actually go exchange to Australia on my second year on Bachelorprogram of Nursing....the exchange is in Brisbane...is that far away from you, Addie? x)

 

How's your first year of university going so far? Enjoying and adjusting to your new life?

 

I love it!!! A lot to read and a lot of study to do tho....

 

Old habits die hard, eh Sarge

How have we had a baby wookie this whole time and not made her the official mascot of the GoL? Jedi Master Kenobiwan

 

Agree, The Vanguard.

 

Well I'm feeling better today. Still got a bit of a cough, but slept through the night and feel on top of the world otherwise!

 

Sorry I haven't been around Master's. I was very busy.

 

Nice to see some other people using 24 hr clock! Nobody does where I'm from.

Glad you're feeling better ConservativeJedi321

 

I preferred the 24 hour clock when I lived in Sweden but it was hard to stick to when I got back. No am/pm confusion, it was handy.

 

I primarily use the 12 hour clock, though the 24 hour 'Military Time' clock is engrained in our culture well enough I would think most people would be able to understand it.

 

Here in germany we use the 24 hour clock. I took me quite a while until I stopped confusing AM and PM.

 

The subclasses of Jedi Consular/Councilor are Ambassador, Diplomat, Healer, Lore Keeper, Researcher, and Seer. There were also two subclasses specific to the Great Galactic War: Jedi Sage and Jedi Shadows.

Jedi Ambassadors and Diplomats are political positions, both representing the Senate off-world, especially for planets newly discovered by the Republic. From what I understand, Ambassadors serve more as an intermediary between these worlds and the Republic, negotiating membership in the Republic for new worlds, acting as a point of contact, being present at important Republic events off-world, that sort of thing. I like how Wookieepedia describes them as the "face" of the Republic. Diplomats do more work with policy changes resulting from political conflict, and writing agreements between the Republic and planets, often serving as mediators in disputes between worlds and in talks involving the Republic.

Jedi Healers are, as the name suggests, focused on restoring and maintaining life and health in sentient beings. Often affiliated with the Medical Corps, Healers were Force-using physicians, working to prevent outbreaks and prescribe appropriate patient care in cases ranging from the minor to critical, such as treating soldiers on a battlefield.

Jedi Lore Keepers and Researchers work in the world of scholarship. Jedi Lore Keepers are further subdivided into Jedi Archivists, Historians, and Librarians, all overseen by the Temple's Librarian's Assembly. Wookieepedia does not specify the differences in the roles of lore keepers, but based on my personal experience in academia, I have divided scholarly duties between them as follows: Lore Keepers as a whole are responsible for recording and preserving the diverse histories, languages, and cultures of the galaxy, collecting histories as told by the communities themselves, as well as documenting their own understanding of events. My guess is that Archivists do more of the hands-on collecting and collating, the historians do more of the writing/recording, and the librarians do more of the storage and organization, but of course, all roles could include writing history, reading it and knowing it, appreciating the huge variety of languages and cultures present in the galaxy, etc. All are responsible ultimately for the survival of cultural knowledge and stories for future generations. Jedi Researchers are also responsible for discovering and recording knowledge, but the subclass covers a broader range of subjects than the cultural and historical study of the Lore Keepers. Jedi Researchers work to collect, analyze, and present data in a variety of fields ranging from "hard" sciences such as physics, biology, and chemistry, to humanities (would it still be called humanities if humans are only one species of sentient beings out of millions with cultures and such unique to them?!), though I imagine the Researchers have more of a science bent, as Lore Keeper could cover many subjects within the humanities (literature, linguistics, anthropology, history, etc.).

Jedi Seers are granted understandings about the past and the future through the Force. Some Seers are Jedi Prophets, granted even greater understanding of past and future. To be honest, I struggle to understand how this is a subclass in of itself, and not more of a gift/proficiency with the Force that could be extended to any Jedi in any of the classes.

Jedi Sages and Shadows were specializations unique to the period of the Great Galactic War and subsequent Cold War. And I have to be honest, I don't entirely understand how/why they fit into the class of Jedi Councilor, as both seem to be much more combat and destruction-heavy than I would expect the role of a Councilor to allow (even in a time of war). The Sage subclass seems to be to be a combination of Jedi Consular powers, and is distinctive for its emphasis on Force barriers and Force waves. Jedi Shadows typically used double-bladed lightsabers and are distinctive because of their mastery of transforming and hiding their presence using the Force.

Big surprise, I would like to be a Jedi Researcher! IRL I really love getting to learn about landscapes - how they were formed, what lives on them, etc., and I've picked that to be one of Junko's big interests as well. I've written her backstory to be that she grew up on a marshland farm on Pantora where she started keeping notes as a hobby on the various things she observed about the land. As a Padawan, she is interested in using her connection with living things to further discovery and cataloging of plant species, geology, and landforms throughout the galaxy. I've started drawing a picture of little Junko sitting in a marsh, eating berries off an elder bush that I will post later.

 

Is there any way to obtain beskar for my armor that I'm planning to have over my Knight robes?

 

Be really nice to Commander(?) Taab.

 

Lol if that works sure.

 

Great work Loth-cat
I like your descriptions of the different subclasses and I agreewith your interpretation of the different types of researchers and lorekeepers.
And nice choice.
Being a Jedi Researcher defenetly sounds like an intresting career

5 points Bardan_Jusik


As for the Jedi Shadow and Sage Class I think the reason for their exsistence are gameplay needs in TOR, as neither diplomate or researcher really fits into a combat focused game so they had to create new subclasses for councilors.
