Figured I would get around to actually posting in the thread, I'll see about having some form of CS for my characters up within the next couple days.
Awesome

Is the Carnival incident still in-continuity? I haven't had time to get caught up on the new IC yet.
Yeah. It's been mentioned as having happened in Lyger's backstory, but I didn't redo that arc for the reboot.
And while I'm at it...
Characters Application:
Screen Name: NiteMare Shape
Character you wish to play: Joren Kel
Race: Human
Faction (does your character belong to a group, such as the New Republic, The Imperial Remnant, the Bounty Hunter's Guild, a specific crime syndicate, etc): He is more or less independent, not really belonging to any faction
Background (list the history of your character here. Created Characters Must Be Thorough!):
Joren Kel is the son of a jedi knight named Van Kel who survived the Jedi Purge, and effectively vanished by relocating to the smuggler's moon of Nar Shaddaa. While on Nar Shaddaa Van met the bounty hunter Allana Drask, who he fell in love with and eventually married, having one child.
Joren showed sensitivity to the force at a very young age, and Van began training him in the ways of the Jedi, in the hopes that one day the Jedi Order would reemerge and end the tyranny of the Galactic Empire. However, Van never saw his dream come to fruition as he died five years before the Battle of Yavin when Joren was only 11 years old.
After his father's death, Joren continued to use what his father had taught him to train in the ways of the Jedi, however he used his force talents to survive the harsh streets of Nar Shaddaa than anything else.
Joren had been spending much of his time in Jaspeel's Cantina playing Sabaac, sometimes using the Force to gain a "competitive advantage." This has gotten him into trouble with The Kath Hounds, one of the more dangerous gangs on the smuggler's moon. Joren used his talents in a game with Amaral Kenso, one of the leaders of the Kath Hounds, and cheated him out of several thousand credits. Kenso has all but declared war on Joren, even having gone so far as having Joren's mother Allana kidnapped and held at an undisclosed location.
Character Class (choose one):
Force Sensitive (Jedi, Sith, Witches of Dothamir, Emperor's Hands, and all other Force Users)
Items (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! What major weapons and the like does your character carry? Such as a lightsaber, a rigged Sabaac deck, a blaster pistol, vibro-knife, wookie crossbow, telescopic lenses, etc): Blaster Pistol, which is his primary weapon, the lightsaber that he inherited from his father, He also travels aboard the freighter Darq Dreams with his companions, Nyna Shar, Dono Kiilar, and Kelsa Sila
Character Personality (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! Give a solid description on how your character acts, their morals, etc): Joren is a bit of a free spirit. Although his father tried to raise him with Jedi values, Joren has for the most part shunned those teachings, wanting nothing to do with the Jedi Order, the New Republic, or the remnant of the Empire. In a way, he blames his father's death on his devotion to the Jedi Order, and he refuses to allow that to happen to him. Joren wants to live his life as he sees fit, and could care less about the war that still engulfs the galaxy.
Character Alignment (Choose one): Hero

I sit in a darkened corner in the very back of Jaspeel's Cantina. This used to be a nice place, well, as nice a place that there can be on Nar Shaddaa. Unfortunately things have changed, the Kath Hounds have claimed it as their turf, and so has the local contingent of The Empire. As you can imagine, things can get a little hairy in here from time to time.
Voices rise and fall as a couple of Duros get into a heated exchange with a Rodian over a game of Sabaac, sure enough, the table is toppled over as the argument erupts into a full on brawl. I take a sip of my Jawa Juice as Jaspeel's bouncers grab the two Duros and the Rodian and through them violently out the door. I smile to myself and take another drink, and I take some comfort in knowing that even with all the craziness going on in the galaxy, somethings never change.
The chatter in the cantina goes quiet for a moment, even the music stops. I look up, expecting to see a group of Imperial stormtroopers, or even some of the nastier members of the Kath Hounds walking through the door. Luckily it wasn't either, instead I see a lone man wearing dark blue Mandalorian armor with a blood red lining around the visor.
The Mandalorian walks over to where I'm sitting and pulls out the chair beside me. He takes off his helmet, and as usual he has a jovial grin on his face. Not exactly what most people expect when they think of Mandalorians,then again Dono Kiilar isn't your average Mandalorian.
"Good news vod'ika, I found out where they are holding your mother."
"I knew you'd come through, let's go get her."
"Not so fast Joren, they're holding her in the sublevels of their main base of operations. There are two ways in, and neither of them are going to be easy."
"I wouldn't expect anything less, let's go."
"Very good, Ib'tuur jatne tuur ash'ad kyr'amur"
We leave the cantina to go someplace alittle more private so that we can work out our plan to save my mother, without having to worry about somebody overhearing our conversation and giving the Hounds a heads up. Dono is right about one thing, today is a good day for somebody else to die.

Approved. Glad to have you back!
Screen Name: NiteMare Shape
Character you wish to play: Luke Skywalker
Race (such as Human, Wookie, Transdoshan, Hutt, Twi'lek, Rodian, Bothan, droid, Mon Calimari, etc): Human
Faction (does your character belong to a group, such as the New Republic, The Imperial Remnant, the Bounty Hunter's Guild, a specific crime syndicate, etc): New Republic and New Jedi Order
Background (list the history of your character here. Created Characters Must Be Thorough!): Luke is the last of the Jedi. The son of Anakin Skywalker, Luke and his twin sister Leia were hidden from Anakin after their birth because of Anakin's fall to the Dark Side.
A series of events brought Luke, then a young man, into the Rebellion against the Galactic Empire. Under the guidance of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin's former master, Luke was instrumental in fighting the Empire and destroying their first Death Star.
Some time later, Luke learned that Darth Vader, the Sith Lord responsible for hunting down the Jedi and ruling at the Emperor's side, was actually his father. During the attack on the second Death Star, Luke, now a Jedi Knight, and knowing there was still good in his father, battled Vader and the Emperor. As the Emperor tried to kill Luke, his father found redemption by sacrificing himself to save his son. Through Luke's belief in his father, he brought Anakin back from the Dark Side, allowing him to fulfill the prophecy and bring balance to the force.
Character Class (choose one): Jedi Master, co-founder/leader of Rogue Squadron with Wedge Antilles.
Items: Like all Jedi, Luke carries the lightsaber he built as part of his training. He also has a personal X-Wing fighter, gifted to him by the New Republic. His fighter has standard equipment including less 'civilized' weapons like a blaster. He also has constant companions in his faithful droids C-3PO and R2-D2.
Character Personality (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! Give a solid description on how your character acts, their morals, etc): Luke is a true Jedi Master. Calm and at peace, but ready to fight when the need arises and no other course is available. Luke constantly looks for the good in people, and has hope in the New Republic's ability to restore peace to the galaxy.
Yet Luke also has lingering doubts about his ability to rebuild the New Jedi Order. Doubts he will need to overcome to bring new Jedi into the fold, and address what he senses is the growing presence of the Dark Side.
Character Alignment (Created Characters Must Be Thorough! Choose one): Luke is definitely good.
Sample Post (write a sample post that is at least 4 paragraphs long and containing at least 3 lines of dialogue):
Luke Skywalker sat in the quiet room that he had taken as his quarters within the temple. In the middle of the floor he sat, his legs crossed over each other, his eyes closed, as he focused on his breathing, he felt the Force flow through him. Through the Force, he was able to sense the wide variety of life forms skittering in and around the temple as well as in the surrounding forest.
As he meditated, a smile started to form on his lips as he felt a familiar presence enter the room.
"Master," he said simply, greeting his old friend.
"Mmm....fear I still sense in you. Doubt too."
His smile broadens as he hears the familiar voice of his long dead master. "But I think you'll admit I have made much progress, Master Yoda."
His small head bobbed up and down in an almost dismissive agreement, just as it did in life when he trained the fledgling Jedi on Degobah. " Much improvement I have seen. Jedi Master now you are." Then his voice lowered. "But still doubt I sense..."
The smile smile dropped from Luke's face as the doubts he had internalized were given a voice. "All I see before me is a...monumental task. I have to rebuild the Jedi order, by myself. And while I know I'm up to it. I just don't know if I can do it alone."
"Fear you will fail, do you? Afraid another Vader you may create."
Luke's mind began to drift to his father and all of the atrocities that he had committed after falling to the dark side. He forced the thoughts from his mind, "It is a fear I will overcome."
Yoda nodded, his luminous form casting a strange glow in the otherwise dark room. "Much to overcome, I foresee. Many trials ahead for you."
"I have sensed it too, Master." Luke said, nodding in agreement.
"Yes. Darkness the future brings. But light within you exists," he says, pointing his cane at me. "And remember this, you will. Alone...you are not."
When he finished speaking, the ancient Jedi planted his cane in front of him, slowly vanishing into the ether from which he came. Luke sat their for a moment, examining the empty space in which his master had occupied just moments earlier. He felt a sudden calmness wash over him as clarity began to set in.
He's right. I'm not alone.

Game Master- Nitemare Shape
-You may choose either a pre-existing character that fits the time period of the game, or create a SW character of your own.
-Players are allowed a maximum of 3 characters, though it is suggested that you start out with one to begin with.
-Created characters must make sense and be original. Any character that is found to be too much like an existing character will NOT be approved.
-If you are playing an alien, stay true to the mindset and general culture of that race. So do you're homework before selecting an alien race to play as.
-Unnamed, faceless NPC's may be killed, provided it's not random and has some purpose behind it. PC character deaths must be more than just some random death, and must have meaning behind it other than shock. Major NPC characters are off limits.
-Constructive criticism of posts can be given, but don't openly criticize another's work. We're not all as gifted a storyteller as George Lucas, or as skilled a writer as Timothy Zahn.
-Communication is the one word to live by for the RPGs. Good communication between players not only helps the flow of the arc and increases the enjoyment of the storytelling process, but it also helps create new twists and ideas that can make for some memorable stories.
-You can reside on any world in the Star Wars Universe and go anywhere within the galaxy that you desire, including the Unknown Regions.
-You are your character, so act like it. Talk like them, use their dialog. Do not exaggerate your abilities, or mannerisms. BE Your character.
-Several stories can be going at once, and you have the freedom to interact with other characters.
-You must post at least once every two weeks, though it is preferred that you post more. If you go two weeks without a post without prior notice, your character is up for grabs.
-Know your weaknesses and strengths of your character, and your craft (a smuggler is not going to win a straight fight against a Jedi, and a X-Wing isn't going to do much against an Imperial Star Destroyer).
-The Gamemasters have the final say in matters in the RPG. Though, we are always willing to work with you.
-There should be minimal cursing and swearing in posts.
-Most Importantly, HAVE FUN!
