SWRPF Archive Unlikely Alliances: An Old Republic Adventure

Read Before Posting

It is 4,577 years before the Great Battle of Yavin. The Jedi Knights have flourished again since the Hyperspace war, and have yet to face their Third Great Schism. It is a time of peace in the galaxy, but as always, the peace cannot last. In the heart of the galaxy, something is stirring. A primitive species known as the Parmans reside in the deep core star system of Mota. The Parmans know little of technology, but have an amazing secret. The unstable gravity of the deep core, combined with their natural affinity for the Force has given them the ability to warp space itself, allowing them to generate hyperspace portals on the surface of a planet. Travel for the Parmans had previously been limited to their home star system, but the destabilization of their third planet's orbit has caused a massive shift. Slowly, they began to venture to worlds outside their home system, and outside the deep core altogether. This caused problems for they worlds on which they appeared, as the planets were slowly destroyed by the anomaly generated by the hyperspace portals. The worlds destroyed are almost always situated in the vast expanse of the Unknown Regions, but nonetheless, someone has taken notice. The Dark Lords of the Sith found the Parmans and after promises of protection against the evil Knights of Jedi, the Parmans agreed to serve their new Dark Lords. Now, stripped of their secrets and placed into servitude, the Parmans are unwitting slaves of the Sith Lords, who have begun to attack the Republic with their devastating new Force abilities.

The game starts after the Sith have attacked Koros Major, a rich mid-rim world with a small Jedi Temple. It is not known to anyone in the Republic how they attacked, but it is to the Sith themselves. They are descended figuratively from the Sith who followed Ludo Kressh, and as such, have no affiliation with Naga Sadow's temples on Yavin IV. The Jedi of this era have several training academies spread throughout the galaxy, and the temple on Coruscant has yet to be built. For the purposes of this game, this game's Jedi players will have their home base at the Jedi Temple on Taris, which has yet to banish non-humans to the lower city.

The current Mandalore was once saved by a Jedi Knight, and has sided with the Republic against the forces of the Sith in order to beat them back.

The Parmans are blind, mute, and deaf. They communicate through telepathy, but the language must still be learned. The Sith have stolen the knowledge both of the Parman's language and their ability to use hyperspace, so Sith players may use these techniques.

You may play as a character on the side of the Republic/Mandalorians, Sith/Parmans, or any independant organization, but whatever you choose, please keep your characters realistic (we don't want any 14 year old Jedi Masters, thanks).

This game will be run by both [link=http://boards.theforce.net/user.asp?usr=1122059]Jedi_Knight15[/link] and myself, so pay attention to both of our posts for plot advancements. Unless there are special circumstances, I will manage the Republic and Mandalorians, and Jedi_Knight15 will manage the Sith and Parmans.

Rules:
1. No Flaming
2. No God modding or auto hitting
3. Respect other players
4. Try to post regularly
5. GM has final say
6. All character sheets must be sent to either [link=http://boards.theforce.net/pm_send.asp?usr=1122059]Jedi_Knight15[/link] or [link=http://boards.theforce.net/pm_send.asp?usr=711886]myself[/link] in a private message for approval before posting them in the thread. No Exceptions.
[color=red]7. This rule applies to Sith players only: If you choose to use the hyperspace tunnel, use it sparingly. It takes a lot of energy, and only experienced Force using non-Parmans know how to use it safely.[/color]

And as always, try to have a good time. The main goal of this (and any) game is to have fun.

GM APPROVED

Name: Bril Nilim'Ani
Species: Twi'Lek
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Affiliation: Jedi
Rank (if applicable): Padawan
Physical Appearance: Height: 1.83m
Weight: 77.1Kg
Bril is a green skinned twi'lek. He typicaly dresses in the robes that the Order has given him,though he typicaly decorates his lekku with strips of black leather with old poems or proverbs that he picked up.
Force Sensitive: Yes
Weapons: Violet double-bladed lightsaber
Bio: Bril, as most who join the Order are, was taken from his parents at a young age. Often he felt that this was for the better as he would not have to grow up among the often bigoted humans of Taris.

He had few disciplinary problemes during his training within the Order, other than seeking information that his Masters said was either too advanced or too dangerous for a Padawan to handle, such as how to build his double bladed lightsaber. He was proud of his weapon, as it took him weaks to build and countless experimentations that left more than a few pairs of clothes ruined.

Bril was skilled in lightsaber combat but was just barely efficient in the Force

 

Just so everyone's aware, the Parmans are a playable race. I thought it might not be clear in the opening posts.

 

Old Republic ain't that popular, eh?

 

Well, the less players we have, the more we'll be able to focus on each one individually.

 

Well then lets get started.

 

Not just yet. We'll wait a bit longer for a few more players, and then we'll get started.

 

Its been a week and we have 6 chars and 4 players.

 

Really only 2 players since the GM characters exist purely to help move the plot.

 

True, but it looks like nameless_one will have to be the main dark side faction at the beginning.
