Cheers mate.

<Snipped quote by Renny>

I believe you.

@Odin

No, I generally enjoyed it. Plus when someone who puts a post like that says you're a good writer, it gives you the warm fuzzies.

Star Wars - Jedi Exile

@Odin good post. Enjoyed it.

Star Wars - Jedi Exile

Jedha City // Jedha // Mid-Rim

Dust shook from the top shelves, disturbed it fell to the ground slowly as the rumble of weapons fire reverberated through the city. The thunder of explosives pounding the shield at regular intervals. It wasn't enough to take down the city shield. It wasn't enough to deplete the shield, and it wasn't supposed to be. The Clones had turned against them. They had managed to run through several Padawans in the temple before Master Richo managed to stop their advance, they were repelled. The temple cleared, between the remaining Guardians of the Whills and the few Jedi that had survived the assault on the temple they managed to push back the Republic forces out of the city and activate the city shield.

Master Richo stood leaning over a holo table. His right hand was clasping his chin, stroking his chin. The map displayed the walled city and all its defences, a thin bubble indicating the shield that was protecting from the outside forces. Richo could form the telltale signs of a migraine clawing at the inside of his skull, closing his eyes and squinting his head slightly. There was a slight rasp at the door as he turned his head to look at the young Twi'lek Jedi Knight. In her shaking hands she had a cup of caf, he could already smell the bitter aroma of the warm liquid. Richo smiled his thanks as he took the cup, clasping it in two hands he took a sip. The warm liquid dancing on his tongue as he savoured the taste. Allowing some sense of normality and control to flood his senses.

He sighed once he lowered the cup from his mouth. "Any word from Coruscant?"

The blue-skinned Geli shook her head, her head tails swinging around her as she did so. "Nothing Master Richo. Even before the Clones started jamming the communications we've not been able to reach the Jedi Temple."

Richo grimaced. There was a wound in the Force, he could feel it. There was pain, chaos, confusion and much, much anger. There was no telling what had occurred, and on what scale. Had clones elsewhere in the galaxy turned against the Jedi? If so how many had died? How many were left? "Send out a call for help on every possible frequency. Try and target Lothal, Corellia, Dac and Kashyyk. Use the old emergency band. We might be able to get something through. We won't be able to able to escape without help."

"-but Master. What about the temple?"

The human stepped forward and placed a hand on her shoulder. "My Former Padawan, I'm afraid that the temple is lost. The best we can hope to do is evacuate as many Padawans as possible with as much Kyber as we can get our hands on."

"The Guardians-"

"The Guardians will never leave, not all of them. I shall speak to them in time-" The entire room shook as the next barrage of shells landed on the shield. Everything that wasn't bolted down in the room shook due to the power of the impact, in the distance, he could hear the screams and feel the fear radiate off the civilian population. "-but we have to go. The longer we stay here the greater danger we put the people in."

@Heat starting strong.

So, writing my first post. Is it safe to assume Anakin is capable of using the force to sense other Jedi? I'm writing my dude escaping from the temple at the moment.

@The Wyrm

It's complicated. I doubt he'd be able to hone in on anyone with all that's going on, not unless he knew them well personally. By this point Anakin won't be in the temple. He'll be meeting PalpsyBoy to be sent to Mustafar

Star Wars - Jedi Exile

Alright, so if I were to treat this as a place I can wring literature with other people as opposed to an actual roleplaying game where we must be together at all times, that'd be fine? I have some plans for where I want to take Dai Dai but those are quite aways away, so I'm trying to cook up some plans for how things end up going for him.

@Odin

Basically. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a game where I had to be constantly with other people, I feel like it gets messy.

Star Wars - Jedi Exile

Hey Sep, good to see ya again. I'm kind of short on time today because well very late and back to work in the morning, but I will be working on CSs tomorrow after work. That said, I noticed a whoole lot of Jedi running about. Should I go for non Force user to at least lessen the difference some?

@rivaan

It's your choice,

<Snipped quote by Sep>

I'm kind of on the opposite boat, it feels kind of out of place when sci-fi writers try to replace everything with fake words.

Like the cantina band from Episode 6 with the goofy blue elephant dude apparently plays "jizz" and not jazz. Like come on, jizz? Really? It's just goofy.

Plus I am kind of going for a bit of a Republic Commando/old 1313 vibe with what this character does. I personally think it's more interesting to explore stuff in a way that makes sense with the shitty circumstances something like Order 66 is.

@TheEvanCat

Fair enough. Still naughty you for posting :P Everyone else feel free too post. I'm going to post tomorrow.

Star Wars - Jedi Exile

Hello there, is there per chance a spot for one more? I'm much interested in this and would love to take part if possible. ^_^

@rivaan

Go for gold.

Star Wars - Jedi Exile

@TheEvanCat - Didn't want people posting yet but okay :P.

In interesting topic, this is not a rule just my personal preference (and I'm interested to hear other peoples). I don't like Swearing in Star Wars. I feel like there are plenty of 'in universe' swears that work in replacement of the F-Bomb. Again it's not a rule, it personally draws me out of it as it feels... real, and like us. Y'know? Interested to hear what other people think.

@DrRtron@NeverEnding I'm sad to see you go, and I'm going to tie what I have to say into this question:

@Sep is there any one particular direction you want to steer us in? Or would you prefer we all exit Coruscant and go to (any place) before we start gathering? Do we gather at all?

@Odin

We will likely never all be gathered together. Will we meet each other? Will the actions of others influence the world and how it interacts with us? Will we communicate through backchannels and through other people to plan and co-ordinate? Hell yes. I'm going for some form of freeform play here, and I feel like not only will it be very rare for a reason for us all together to happen but also large periods of large groups coming together really stifles games. As we go on I know some of you will naturally gravitate towards each other, sometimes I'll keep you that way and sometimes I might drive you apart. Sometimes I might think you and another writer would work very well, and sometimes you might want to be by yourself. I'm not going to lie to you, I've never tried something in this setup before.

I've done free-form sandbox but I never had a central plot, and I myself had PCs that were in the thick of it. Will it work? Hopefully, and hopefully you will all enjoy what I have planned and enjoy playing your part.

Star Wars - Jedi Exile

At work. Just letting people know I am reading this, and will address all questions and concerns once I'm home

Star Wars - Jedi Exile

As I'm double posting, I will also leave This here to get y'all in the mood for the IC dropping tomorrow.

Those of you still working on sheets can continue to do so. I mean a couple of you are going to be together anyway, I believe and the rest I think are going to appear solo to start off with.

Dropping the IC solo tomorrow on my day off, on a week where I have few hours also lets me figure out where everyone is, what everyone is doing and set things in motion accordingly.
