Star Wars: A Republic Divided




Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith, has been slain by Mace Windu's hands, and while this should be a celebration that at last, the master of the Sith has been killed. It only creates more problems. For Darth Sidious was actually Sheev Palpatine, the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic and following Mace's idea after Palpatine was killed. The Jedi Council has taken control of the Senate in a move to ensure the peaceful transfer of power to a new Supreme Chancellor. A decision that was met with mixed opinions from the public, the senators, and the rest of the Jedi. While some have welcomed the idea, stand with the Jedi as protectors as they are. Others are against this and believe that the Jedi have gone too far and they need to relinquish their control of the Senate. Even within the Jedi, the issue divides them despite reassurances from Mace and the other members of the Jedi Council that this is temporary.

Meanwhile, the Clone Wars is drawing to a close. For after the deaths of Count Dooku, General Grievous, and Darth Sidious. The remaining Separatist leaders on Mustafar have a large drop in morale with the loss of the their leadership and are divided over who should rule the Separatists. Which has paralyzed the Separatists' war effort and the Republic forces have gained the upper hand. Rumors of the Separatists considering surrendering are starting to circulate within both Republic and Separatist space. If these rumors are true or not has yet to be proven.

What is clear is that the Republic's future hangs in the balance, as it has been three months since the Jedi Council took over the Senate, and there is still no new Supreme Chancellor, with the Jedi Council making decisions for the Republic. This led to rumors among the populace of Coruscant that the Jedi Council's control over the Senate would not be so temporary.

Overview

Hello and welcome to the rp, so this rp is a what if, if Anakin let Mace kill Palpatine and followed Mace's plan of the Jedi Council taking over the Senate in order to ensure a peaceful transfer of power to a new Supreme Chancellor. However, after three months of control, the Jedi Council is still in control of the Senate, and so far, no new Supreme Chancellor. Causing tensions between the people of the Republic and the Jedi Order. Even within the Jedi Order, there is a divide developing between those who support the Jedi Council and those who do not. While the Clone Wars is still ongoing, there are rumors that the Separatists are going to surrender.

The rp will be about the growing tensions between the Jedi or the Jedi Council and the Republic as the Jedi Council under Mace Windu retains control of the Senate, and Mace's plan seems to be taking longer than thought. Putting the future of the Republic at stake. So while that is what the rp is about, there is room for people to do their own thing in the backdrop of the main conflict if they want. Also, the rp will be using mainly Legends stuff and maybe some of the New Canon stuff.

About who you will be playing, I am allowing people to make a character sheet as both canon characters and custom characters. However, if you want to play as a canon character, there will be greater scrutiny, especially if you want to play as Mace or Yoda and if you do want to play a member on the Jedi Council. Then, we need to be in contact with me to see your plans for the character to work. Besides that, if you go custom, then you can play what you want, a senator, a Jedi, a clone, or anything else. Though in regard to someone who wants to play a dark side user, none right now.

While other parts of the galaxy will be mentioned and discussed as the Clone Wars are still ongoing despite being near the end. The rp will start on Coruscant be centered there, but the rp will open up down the road. Depending on how the plot goes since the rp will be largely character-driven. While they are arcs, the arcs are mainly resolved by how the players choose to resolve them. So no one way and this will affect the rp.

If anyone has any questions, just ask. Also I am looking for Co-GMs if anyone is interested then just say something.

I normally do not like Star Wars (I don't like Legends, Canon has the 'Sequels' and its own dubious choices), but I'm interested.

Might have Finis Valorum from The Phantom Meneace, the Chancellor before Palpatine return to politics.

Alternatively, maybe I can do a female PoV for once and use Padme.

Okay, the first one we talked on discord. I wonder what you would do with Padme. More so since the last person in the last time I did this rp, they tried going a dark route with her.

Was thinking doing politics and passing actual reforms.

I have an OC who's a former Padawan of Mace Windu's; would that fit into things?

Maybe, can you tell me more about them?

Also, I think I will start working on an OOC and will get it up soon.

One: Are you still looking for people?

Two (apologies for length): Is it godmodding if I pick a cannon species that is infamously difficult to properly kill? (Gen'dai. What Durge from 2005 CW and Rayvis from Survivor were. Intense regeneration, with a nerve cluster in their brainstem that is just about the only part of their body they can't regenerate, making it the only way to truly kill them shy of leaving nothing to regenerate back from.)

The caveat to that would be sure, it's incredibly hard to kill them, but not nearly as hard to incapacitate them. Sufficient damage in-lore takes them minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or even years to regenerate fully depending on the extent of the damage.

If you aren't alright with a Gen'Dai character, I can always just run something else. They're just one of those species in Star Wars you don't see a lot of, and are weird/potent enough to be interesting. Not to mention that they can have plenty of character beyond 'horror movie monster' as they live for centuries, and aren't just dumb brutes.

Character concept would be a Gen'Dai security guard for another PC. The quiet big guy kinda character, who in a more political game would be mostly be stopping attempts to intimidate/assassinate his charge and making the occasional observation/comment. Or maybe, for a more cutthroat/corrupt politician, being an intimidating wall of sentient meat to go menace political opponents.

Decided I might make a Clone Rights Activist who is not a fan of Mando Culture. I might make him an outright politician instead, though, if you want to bodyguard someone like that.

The rp is still open and will stay open. As for someone playing a Gen'dai character. I have to say no to that, but I understand where you are coming from with playing a species that is not used much. Which I encourage but, just not a Gen'dai character.
