Ok I know you all want to join this and I'm fairly certain you all are just waiting for other people to post so you can guage your character concepts on them, so I GUESS I'll be the one to break the ice.

Name: Bor-Bo Fuade
Species: Any of the Star Wars races. The requirements are two legs, two arms, and the ability to speak basic.
Lightsaber: Black hilt, blue blade. I screwed up the gem making process though, so the beam came out all compressed, but hey, I'm not complaining. Looks rad as hell
Skills: I grew up as a street rat, so I've learned a few ways to get the upper hand in a brawl. Not to mention the knife fights. Found an old Vibroknife in some old mugger I found lying in the street. Still use it from time to time, even with the lightsaber. It's pretty handy. My only real weak point would be my force. Just can't seem to get a handle on it. First time I tried to lift a box and I send it smashing through a skylight. It's getting better, but still.
History: Let me tell you about a glorious little moon going by the name of Nar Shadaa. After just five minutes, NO, a mere GLIMPSE of it as you approach it from Hyperspace, and you'll know why it's known as the "Glorious Jewel" of the Hutt empire. Orbiting just above the Hutt homeworld, here you'll find towering spires, houses and buildings just pancaked on top of each other like some demented pancake carpenter that just didn't care, and pollution so think you'll be lucky to live past thirty. But that's not all! Nar Shadaa's main attraction is the massive pit of scum and villainy that goes all the way down to it's rotten core! You want spice? You got spice! You want a twi'lek slave? How many and in what colors? You want some guy bumped off? You'll get six offers before you even manage to leave the space port!

And this wonderful place is where I used to call home. Pretty sure I was born there. Wouldn't know. Lived on the streets as far back as I can remember, stealing scraps from the bars and pawning off whatever I managed to grab. Got stabbed once or twice, but lucky me, turns out I heal real good. Wouldn't find out why until later. It was around the time I tried taking what I THOUGHT was a multitool. But nooooooo, turns out I tried to steal a freakin' lightsaber. Nearly got my hand lopped off. The guy saw something in me though, and offered to take me to the Jedi academy. Any place was better then here, and there's no way I'd be able to afford a ticket off world, so why wouldn't I say yes?

Well, my potential Jedi would aim to master remotely activating his Lightsaber and general Telekinetic craziness as he would plan to make throwing his saber a basic part of his style. That and manage bursts of speeds & aerial maneuvering. I haven't applied yet because I didn't think you would allow remotely controlled & activated Lightsaber antics.

We're freaking Padawans man. We're like a year past the point where we learned to swing a light saber without decapitating ourselves.

Your force powers will be pretty limited in the beginning, but they will improve over time. After most adventures you'll train for a few months and you'll refine your skills that way. Oh and you're stuck with Form I until then as well.

Constructive!


I've been working on multiple things, one of which is the application for this game.

Name: Zlebu
Species: Toydarian
Lightsaber: The lightsaber handle is a finely polished metal tube, at first glance almost completely indistinguishable from a piece of pipe. The activation mechanism is is a well-hidden button with virtually no way of telling where it is positioned aside from guessing or muscle memory. Upon activation, it emits a yellow blade.
Skills: Being a Toydarian, Zlebu is capable of flight, and typically flies instead of walking. He incorporates this into his combat style, giving him a rather range of evasive maneuvers normally only available to the most accomplished acrobats, as well as the ability to hit someone from almost any direction. Additionally, due to his species and upbringing, he is rather resilient against any attempts at persuasion, Force-influenced or otherwise.
History:
"Huh? You want to know about me? Don't you already know me? You've been training me for all this time... Oh, you're asking because you're recording this! That makes sense, because I'm one of the first new apprentices in a while. Makes sense to keep track of exactly what qualities you're going to look for in the future." *Laughs*
"But seriously, before you guys showed up, I didn't think I was anyone special. I was just another trader... Fine, but, since this is being recorded, I'm saying aloud that anything I say from this point forward is not an admission of guilt or statement of fact, and that the following may or may not be exaggeration, hearsay, bragging, or outright lies. What's more, any proven illegal actions have been shown in court to have been the result of my former co-pilot's illicit dealings and connection to a Hutt who shall remain nameless. Some people claimed I ran a smuggling operation in addition to my shipping and trading businesses. I do own a ship that would, by no large stretch of the imagination, be suitable for such endeavors: the Hidden Hand, a F9-TZ transport, and the only thing I ever bought from my father, who was known to... buy things from people, then sell them to other interested parties. The Hidden Hand actually belonged to my mother, a pilot who people also baselessly accused of being a smuggler, before she was shot by a gangster she had absolutely no business connections to, who was offended that she refused to run any of his smuggling jobs. Her cloaking device could have come in useful if I were to ever have run shipments I didn't want people knowing about. But I'm going to stop talking about that now, because it was a decent amount of time ago, and any further discussion of that could result in me saying any number of things, including names, dates, and trades that I may or may not have a connection with. If I'm going to talk about anything in significant detail, it should be about how I came here.
"Without giving any context on my business there, I was on Bespin one day, overseeing the unloading of a shipment, which was not my property and I had not been informed of the content of said shipment, from the Hidden Hand, when one of the workers unloading the shipment suddenly lost control of the mover. I, being extremely upset at the potential loss of life and slightly upset at the possible loss of whatever was in the containers that the worker was moving, flew in front of the mover and braced for impact, hoping to at the very least slow its descent by pushing it back slightly. What normally would have been an ill-thought move, though, was a stroke of genius, since it turned out I was right: I could move things without touching them. People always claimed I was off my head when I said I moved something without touching it. Everyone but my mother doubted me, but I proved it. In front of a bunch of people who apparently have connections at some level to a few names I don't feel comfortable saying on record given their status as known smugglers, but who are in contact with Master Luke. You guys eventually tracked me down when I was in Mos Espa for reasons completely unrelated to any sort of business I may or may not be associated with, and invited me to join up with them. I, being a 14-year-old pilot, figured you had the wrong Toydarian, but when you mentioned the incident on Bespin, I knew you meant me, and you showed me that you could do the same thing, but with more control, I figured joining up with you guys to help people out was a better idea than ending up a trader whose only accomplishments were... trivial, and certainly not worth mentioning."
Zlebu is approximately 1.3 meters tall, and slightly less rotund than most Toydarians. His eyes are a pale yellow color, and, as is typical for his species, he has no hair aside from some stubble on his chin. His skin has a blue-green pigmentation to it, aside from the cream-colored gut also typical of his species.

I'd love to join this, but I have no idea on what any of the star wars species are. Is there any page with a list of them?

There's tons and tons, but this is a good place to start. You can always go with plain old human as well. I'm going to put a ban on Yoda's Species now, in this universe they went extinct with Yoda.

Superemo is accepted, HN will be accepted upon picking a species.

Any more takers? I'd like to get this off the ground soon-ish. I'll run it with two people but more wouldn't hurt.

Meant to post this sooner but I got swallowed by the wiki.

Name: Ragarth
Species: Barabel
Lightsaber: Has a simple curved grip and emits a purple blade.
Skills: Ragarth fights with a fierce yet somewhat precise attacks when fighting with a lightsaber. When it comes to the Force he tends to use more to distract his opponent then to fight them(i.e moving rocks, making bushes shake, throw up a dust cloud to cover escape). Ragarth is a skilled hunter and scout as well as a pretty decent shot with a blaster rifle.
History: "This one left Barab 1 in order too see the galaxy that this one saw in the sky. However once off of Barab, this one lacked the coin too do much traveling so this one decided to get what was called a job. This one worked many jobs after leaving home. From a guard of places to a guard of people to even a hunter of people. This one found that being a hunter of people or what this one found was a Bounty Hunter payed better and allowed for much travel and use of old hunting skills. One this one's contracts caused this one to come face to face with a warrior of from beyond the clouds. It turned out that the warrior from beyond the clouds was this one's target. This one abandoned the contract as this one would not hurt a warrior form beyond the clouds. The one from beyond the clouds invited this one to join their order. This one was what most call awe-struck by the offer but accepted the offer none the less." sissing at the memory the Barabel ambled off head high in joy.

Ragarth stands about 2 meters tall and his skin is grey and his eyes red.

Sorry for not posting this earlier
Name: Waric Dreiz
Species: Human
Lightsaber: A green lightsaber with a curved hilt.
Skills: To be added
History: "My childhood was pretty normal and nothing really special. I somewhat managed to learn to use some Force during that time, but kept it as a secret. Later, I worked at doing random jobs across planets and working at travelling space ships to get around. I guess one of the members of the Jedi Order noticed me and sensed that I was force-sensitive, and soon I was travelling here. I think that's about it summarized"

(Is this good? If I did any mistakes on Star Wars info, feel free to correct me. I haven't watched a single star wars movie in probably a few years so I don't remember much about it accurately)

Oh, also, FM, the style of lightsaber fighting you're talking about is a rather advanced form called Trakata. As Padawans, we could not be trained in it and would be outright discouraged or even banned from using it, since it not only relies on deception, which the Order doesn't take kindly too, but also because it takes quite a bit of concentration to pull off. There's all sorts of little oscillations in a lightsaber that would throw off any normie trying to use it, and we're just past the stage where we can use it comfortably, and all that is before you factor in that you'll be using it in a fast-paced fight

Imagine if you learned to use a mace, but every so often the mace just lost all mass and any resistance it had just vanished. You'd be liable to clonk yourself in the head with it when it came back.
