Star Wars - Jedi Exile - Knights of the Last Republic

I not that much of a noob to not know what a holocron was :). I was just doing that first part during lunch and still had the mental image of a library stuck in my head where the holocrons presented holographic text when opened. I'll go the datapad route though.

Star Wars - Jedi Exile - Knights of the Last Republic

Within the Jedi Archives, a young human male, tip-toeing along, crept up behind a Twi'lek reading something on her datapad, most likely accessed using the library's interface.. He was about to tap her shoulder when she turned around, full smile, and batted his hand back with her own. "Did you really think you could sneak up on me like that, Xai?" The Twi'lek asked. "I can feel you from a mile away."

Xai'qui then went full grin, "Did you think I would stop trying, Jas? Especially when you're reading about,"the lad checked what page was open. "Thought so, reading about that Barsen'thor again. The Hero of Tython is still the better hero, stopping the planet-busters, taking on the Emperor himself. Come on, how can you prefer the diplomat who never had a harder challenge than merely some minor Sith lords?"

Jasma sighed,sometimes wondering why she bothered, "The Third Barsen'thor cured Jedi Masters from Dark Side possession, freed an entire planet from invasion almost single-handedly, faced a few Darths herself, even confronted a First Son of the Emperor and actually rid the galaxy of its threat instead of having the Emperor survive somehow. Does your master just give you time to debate with me or are you shirking your duties again?"

The black-haired lad made his best offended look," Me? Shirk my duties for the Jedi order? How could you accuse me of such a crime?" Then his face relaxed, "Shirking from meditation and dish-washing do not count. And the only reason I have time right now is because me and Sir Driscoli were given R&R time before our next assignment. Of course, he's knocking on the sky right now, trying to peer into the future. So I figured if you were around, you might be here, reading about ancient Jedi arts or your table-sitting friend."

"Oh Xai," Jasma then made an exaggerated sigh and the two started chuckling together, like in their initiate days. "Well, I guess you can say that me and Sir T'ish are also R&R-ing before our next assignment," said the Twi'lek as she started calming down. "T'ish is up in his room, doing his lightsaber meditations to the sounds of rain and bubbles. There was nothing going on in the healing room, so I thought I'd read for a bit. I wasn't sure if you would be here."

"It has been a while hasn't it Jas?" Xai said thinking back to their last time together.

"A very long while Xai," replied Jas, thinking of that same time. "Though hopefully the war should end soon and then travels won't be required that often. Then we can meet up on a regular basis and..." She stopped and felt around, an unease fell over her, a sense of dread... and fear.

"Jas, anything wrong Jas?" The human said, trying to break through whatever had come over her. Then he felt it too, faintly but vividly.

The Twi'lek then started fiddling with her datapad, "Xai, help me back up the archives. This won't be able to hold all of them. Just help me find some, any digital storage units."

"Right," Xai replied. Then the two scrambled about, searching for what to backup the database onto.

Star Wars - Jedi Exile - Knights of the Last Republic

OK, I decided that their first mission reveals it to the Jedi community, killing the specific mission need and the official introduction of her ability needs in one stone. Will need to wait for Jbcool to arrange more details?

Do you mind if I make a post now?

The Chronicles of Dosei: Chapter 1 (1x1 with Cyrania)

Alice had been examining the bandit's bodies when she heard Veo's crossbow. She then rushed to where she heard his shot, replacing her bow for her shield and drawing her sword. The village girl had at first followed the footprints when first trying to find the camp, but when the blood trail presented itself... The blond was sure she recognized the tooth marks, but hadn't been able to place it. When they came to the camp, she had examined the other bodies to see if it would jog that memory.

But as Alice finally came upon the satyr's location, she recalled why they were so familiar. Those tooth marks had implented themselves on a tree she was climbing up during one of her early hunts where the village girl had been surprised by the ambush of a lone warg. It had jumped just like this one, and Veo was focusing on reloading his weapon. With a final burst of speed, she shield bashed the creature mid-flight, inches away from the shop owner's neck. The warg was knocked away and Alice had enough time to get back her balance, placing herself between it and Veo and hunkering down in a fighting position. As she waited for the monster's move, her eyes alighted on the strange spiked collar.

Cyrania, Ant-Man, and Ultron

---

The flamboyantly dressed hero recovered her composure after the Ghost was completely gone from view. This was no time to be dilly-dallying around gawking at other people’s tools. She turned to her two companions and said, “Well, guess we should check that machine then. ‘Casper’ probably at least gave us something to work with.” Then Cyr moved closer to it, waiting for Janet’s interface. Then an almost earthquake like tremor rocked the ground, but the girl of the Badlands knew how to ride it. She had needed to do so with similar tremors... She then turned to the two city slickers, “Is this sort of thing usual in Nueva York? ‘Cause it acts a lot like the kind the Hulk-like creatures make when they land after a jump.”

Closing her eyes as if in thought, Janet’s processor got busy. She connected to the data drive Ghost brought, searching for one bit of information in particular. There it was! Firing up a long range connection, the Ultron’s mind raced over the channels until she found a link to the desired target, using the password Ghost’s files provided to dodge most of the firewalls.

Raising her hand, she used the projector in her palm to display satellite footage of what was going on. “Oh, it’s that alchemax prop robot. And… oh hello, where have you been hiding, webslinger? Maybe we should investigate?”

Henry just turned to Janet. “You want to take on, vision?” He tapped his own helmet as something else came through. “Well. It seems that the Thing is having a beat down in central park as well. With some kind of magician fellow.” He looked at Cyrania at the last part. “Seriously, two magicians in one day?” He threw his hands up in the air as he walked around the room. “You know, this endeavour was a lot simpler before you all-” He jabbed an accusing finger at Cyr “-Started turning up.”

He sighed. “We’re going to have to divide and conquer. Though at this point I’m not really sure where I’d want Janet to go.”

Alice ignored Ant-man’s comment and looked at Janet’s hologram again. “Only one person might be needed there. See, there’s someone else already on the assist.” She responded pointing at the gun man. Then Cyr looked back up at Mr. Pym, “Any reinforcements for the magician fellow? If this “Thing” is having a beatdown, then that fellow might appreciate help immediately. You have our only real source of quick transportation. Wouldn’t be good to come into a battle worn out.” Then the brunette snapped her fingers, “I’ve got it. We all three first go to where the Thing is. Then if you think we’re able to handle it, you can leave us girls to fight him and go assist Spiderman. If not, then we all help out the magician guy first since he seems in the most immediate danger, then see if the webslinger still needs help.” Then she paused, “Sound like a good plan?”

“If the THing is anything like the real Thing, I stand pathetic little chance against it unless you want me to collapse a building on it’s head, killing everyone in the way. I am too… soft. Vision on the other hand, that would be more a battle of minds than a battle of strength. I am confident I can beat that imposter, even as I am now.” Janet evaluated. “I can hack traffic controls to divert what traffic there is to other areas and keep the private eye out until they figure out they’ve been had.” the Ultron offered.

Henry shrugged. “Really the point is, we need to get going. Though I’m not sure about either of you yet. You’re not ready for anything like that yet Janet, even if I were to activate your combat subroutines you don’t have the hardiness for it. Hell even if you went up against vision he can fly you can’t.” He sat there, he was already calling in an ant to carry him away to the fight. Though there was still the other problem too consider. “I’m not entirely sure about either of you in a fight. Though there’s something in the museum that you might be able to work with.” He closed his mask as he walked around the room gathering any and all items he felt he might need. Shock disks, shrink disks.

He hit a couple of keys on his wrist pad. “I’m firing up your combat subroutines, but I can turn them off if need be. Remember your programming though, if people get in your way acquiring this piece of tech stop them. Though don’t kill them or gravely injure them.” He pulled up a screen on a tablet and left it sitting on the desk. “You might need to tweak it a bit to make it work.” With that he hit the button on his left hand, shrinking and jumping aboard an ant.

Janet’s jaw dropped. “I didn’t even know that was there… yet! Still processing all of the world’s history.” Janet said, looking at the almost intact extremis armor of the very original Anthony Stark. Useless to any human, but with her nano skin, it would be perfect. As a base that was. The repulsors were common, dare she say outdated technology at this date. Still, it would protect her well enough for now and let her fly. More than she could ask for. “Well then, I’m off to go commit a robbery.” turning to Henry, she had a serious look on her face: “But call me if you need any help, ok? I can still do something through hacking.”

Cyr smiled a bit at her friend’s joy, then she turned towards Mr. Pym. “Can you tell me at least where Thing is now? If I’m to go for the assist, I need to know the place.”

Henry shrugged, realizing that at Ant-Size there was really no point in doing that as people couldn’t see him doing it. He relayed his voice via a speaker in the… pile of computer in the middle of the room. “Get the armour, focus on the vision. If you deal with that, call me.”

Alice cocked up and saluted towards the machine, “Yes sir.” Then went with Janet to the museum.

What do you think would be a good scenario for them to learn about her Force Insight?

Star Wars - Jedi Exile - Knights of the Last Republic

Cyrania one of the things I will want you to detail is your use of Force insight, specifically how you learned it once JbCool is online. Only reason 'm allowing it is as the rest is fine and JbCool is away currently.

@Sep

I was going off Jaca Wilsam from Star Wars: the Old Republic. She was an Alderaanian handmaiden who had an unique force gift, the ability to see a person's true personality. It sounded like it was one of those abilities that certain people, even among the Jedi, are just born with. That's why Jasma steered clear of the most vile of her captors during her years of slavery, she could already feel the evil within them and it warned her away.

Star Wars - Jedi Exile - Knights of the Last Republic

(But younger looking and without the collar)

Name: Jasma Quillum

Age: 17

Race: Twi'lek

Appearance

A slender, average, blue Twi'lek with black markings and grey eyes, around 5' 4". She wears the normal Jedi garb of a padawan with a blue lightsaber.

Force Abilities

• Basics-(focus on Telekinesis; uncomfortable with Mind Control
• Force Healing
• Force Insight (a rare force ability that allows a person's core personality to be be felt, to fully delve into the ability as of now she needs to focus all her attention to the specific person, though she passively gets hints)

Non-Force Abilities

• Lightsaber Combat: Is proficient in Forms I-III (Stronger in using the force than in using a lightsaber), is currently learning Form VI from her master
• Herbal Knowledge
• Dancing

Personality/Motivation

If Jasma sees innocent people or allies in danger, she'll rush in and help them. She prefers simple situations, where there's a clear goal, a clear enemy, and obvious things for her to do, making her one of the few Jedi who were actually comfortable on the battlefield. She has no patience for diplomatic situations (though she has graduated from having her master stop her from threatening to kill the annoyance to having to be stopped from keeping the person where they were until they agreed through creative means[ex. surrounding the target with furniture then making the furniture immovable, having carpets ready to pounce]), but she would be in absolute horror of herself if she actually did kill someone without cause and does try to suppress that temper. A major motivator there is that she wants to be like the third Barsen'thor of the order, an exceptional Force user during the Galactic War both warrior and diplomat who freed a planet from the Sith Empire practically single-handed and the Sith Emperor's most entrenched spy. She's read the files of that Jedi's exploits so many times that she could recite the whole thing word by word. Probably has a lot of the order's history practically memorized like that as well, from all her looking about for any clues of where holocons of lost Jedi techniques are, especially the shielding one that first made the Barsen'thor famous. Though she also studies up on more common force techniques though but hasn't recieved actual instruction.

Biography

Jasma has less memory of her parents then even most Jedi or of her time on the planet Ryloth. She isn't sure what happened exactly, just the slave ship when she was four. Her force insight already manifested itself, helping her keep clear of the most vile of the ship. But her only pleasure was in the dance lessons, used by the slavers to increase their cargos' value but allowed Jasma a mental escape from what was going on. But she was never submisive, shielding others from the crew's wrath and attempting to escape whenever she had the chance. But it was only the captian's cockiness and a corrupt official that finally lead her to the temple.

It seemed like a nice simple plan to the two of them. One of the younger girls would go with the Captain and some of his men to the designated meeting place on Courscant. The rest would stay in orbit hidden from detection until they came back. Some well placed bribes and the crowd would help hide some of the peculiarities. Jasma, six at the time, was chosen for her skill at dancing and as a way to profitably get rid of the annoyence of her escapes. But at the Jedi temple, Xav'qui Sel, one of the initiates decided to do a bit of exploring and snuck out. He was seen though by one of the Jedi knights, who smiled and followed the boy to make he didn't get into too much trouble, though maybe enough trouble to keep him from wandering again.

They were traveling like this for a while when they heard a startled yell. They both hurried towards it, the knight still keeping quiet, when they came upon the source of the noise. Jasma had tried another escape attempt, waiting till she had only one person immediately beside her, the Republic official, biting his hand when he reached out to examine her jaw, and taking off. The Jedi came just as she had been recaptured and her slave collar put on the highest setting she could possibly live through as punishment. Then the boy force grabbed the controller, turned it off, and smashed it, asking them why they didn't pick on someone more equal to them. The captain and his men then obliged by pointing their guns at him, the official getting nervous. Which he turned out right to be when a lightsaber disarmed the leader with a jump then took the rest down. The initiate went to check out the girl and take the collar off. The last burst had left her in bad shape, but she asked if they were going to save the others. The Knight then convinced the slavers to reveal where the others were and was able to lead a rescue mission.

The initiate took Jasma to the Jedi healers to treat her injuries. While there, they realized that she was force sensitive. Jasma was excited about the discovery and ecstatic when she was accepted and put in the same clan as Xav'qui. The two became thick as thieves, getting into all sorts of trouble during their free times. But she was studious during class and at her lessons, wanting to be a good Jedi and not be behind. She also would visit the healing room to observe the healers at their work. She even copied what they did on a wounded stray animal that had come to the temple. One of them observed this and further tests showed that she was a natural healer. They unofficially taught her then the techniques themselves and some herbal knowledge they knew to help the healing along. Jasma tackled the subject head-on and went to the archives to learn more of the techniques and herbs when she had exhausted their knowledge.

It was while looking around for more techniques that Jasma first heard about the third Barsen'thor. She read of the Jedi consular's exploits and became a great admirer. The Barsen'thor became her role model and she took to visiting the Archives after everyone was asleep, sometimes during the day as well if there was nothing more to do in the healing room. She spread her reading to everything written on various force techniques. The Twi'lek came upon a collection of the traditional dances of her people. She took to practicing them, feeling closer to the force and more free, like she had while on the ship. Though it also made meditation class particularly hard to do, but she ended up picturing her dancing in her mind to at least past the class. Other than that, she was among the top in terms of force use, but she was average in lightsaber usage. The force it seems decided therefore to provide her a path to at least shore up her combat abilities if not excel.

The day before the Initiate Trials, Jasma was particularly nervous. She was worried about failing whether through saying one word incorrectly of the Jedi code or through being a mediocre lightsaber user. She practiced and memorized and did all she could. Finally, the Twi'lek recognized that she was getting into a highly nervous state, needing some sort of calm down. So Jasma decided to do what had worked so well in the past, she went into the Archives and practiced the traditional moves. But this time she had an unknown observer. Jedi Knight T'ish had been thumbing through the holocrons when he saw the young initiate enter in. Curious about what she was doing, he followed her and secretly observed her dance style. He admired the grace with which she moved, grace that had a great potential for lightsaber combat, and the feeling of the force going so freely through her, like one at meditation. After the Twi'lek was done and was leaving the library, T'ish asked a woman he knew there what she knew about the initiate.

But Jasma was unaware of any of this. She was just fully refreshed and prepared. At the actual trials, the Twi'lek passed the code and force test with flying colors, though she only showed competency during the staged hood lightsaber test. Nevertheless, Jasma Quillum had passed the tests. She was delighted and thrilled, though she wondered who the Kel Dorian knight was. She saw him again in the stands during the Apprentice Tournament, where the battles she did win were through telekinesis and some dueling. And that same Kel Dorian was introduced to her later as Jedi Knight T'ish, her master.

Their first assignment together, guarding an Alderanian diplomat, revealed both her other natural force trait and her intolerence to diplomacy.

Together, they were assigned on many missions and battles for the Republic, and everyone was relieved when they weren't put on diplomatic missions. In the field, he would be the main charge while she would be the support and healer. During training, he worked to improve her lightsaber combat, helping her at least shore up her rather rudimentary usage of the first three forms and teaching her the fourth. They were waiting at the Temple for their next assignment when Project Knightfall fell.

Secrets

Jasma became the closest of friends with the boy that helped save her life throughout their years together at the Jedi Temple. But she hides especially from him the love that she developed for him. She read in the Archives how two Jedi who were initiates/padawans in the Temple together could get married and would like to initiate that with him. But she doesn't know how exactly he feels for her and doesn't want to force him into that kind of relationship without his true consent.

She trained herself in her people's traditional dances in secret at the Jedi Temple, mostly because she knew it was probably something they did not want a Jedi initiate to waste their time learning and she was embarrassed to show many of the moves to the other's with the vow of chastity the Jedi had to take and all. But she finds it somewhat increases her lightsaber skill since the fluidity and gracefulness inherit of dancing gives a mindset to help develop her fluidity and gracefulness with a lightsaber.

Relationships

Xai'qui Sel: the boy who helped save her life, they have now grown to be the closest of friends, though at least on one side, something more brews under the surface

Seris: Jasma knows her by sight at least from Jasma's vists to the Archieves to pour over the holocrons there, reading about various Jedi force techniques, hints about where to find long lost techniques, the story of the third Barsen'thor again, and other information she's curious to know, also where she makes sure no one is watching when she starts her dance practices.

I'll work on that with him. I promise.
