Star Wars - Rise of Crusade

@Eviledd1984 yeah you're good to go.

Star Wars - Rise of Crusade

Away to see the missus. Might post later might not.

@Eviledd1984 I like the paranoia. Just wanna point out Kashyyyk wasn't liberated till the Rebellion was the New Republic, post endor. Took them a while to get around to it too.

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

POLICE PRECINCT // REAR OFF

While the majority of the players were involved in the attack on the goons were at the front of the property the rainbow raider had other ideas. He walked to the back of the precinct and stood in one of the windows, standing up and holding onto the ceiling to keep himself steady. A couple of bullets peppered his skin, he shrugged it off. It was more of an annoyance than anything else. "Stand down villains! For you face the RAINBOW RAIDER!" Roy jumped down to the ground, throwing out some blasts towards men with guns. They got knocked off their feet, but stood up again himself still getting peppered by bullets.

Roy fired a blast at the strongman, they seemed to push him back slightly but he didn't get knocked down. A piece of debris was thrown at him, knocking him back. Roy spat out blood as he raced towards the thug, ducking under a fist and firing another blast upwards.

That's when Roy noticed something. The thug had blue eyes. He could see the colour blue. Oh hell. Raising his arms out in order to fire a blast nothing happened. That's when he heard a voice. You want my powers, you work for me.

@Cyrania I want to give people an opportunity to develop on their own and drive a main plot. Waiting to see where people start then I'll go from there

Star Wars - Rise of Crusade

@Cyrania some of us for sure.

Also for reference it's Ahch-To

Star Wars - Rise of Crusade

Percivalyn might be aware of him, but wouldn't know him well especially after spending more time in the temple while he's been going here and there.

Guessing some poor soul's being forced to work for the First Order.

@Cyrania

An Archaeologist! (Mentioned in the history) been missing a year before the RP

Star Wars - Rise of Crusade

If anyone wants to know Koren just let me know, I'm good for it. What do you guys think is going on in the Unknown regions?

Star Wars - Rise of Crusade

JEDI TEMPLE // AHCH-TO

Koren climbed the steps towards the temple, the weather was nice today. It was cool but sunny. Summer was just around the corner, and they had reached that time of year that by midday it would be nice and warm, without being too warm, while in the sun. As it was he focused on his breathing to warm himself in the chill morning air. The smell of the sea, the feel of the spray on him. It was far more like being home to him than being in Coronet City was. He didn't like the hustle and the bustle of the city. Things here were simple. He leant down and gave a Porg a small pet on the head as he climbed the stairs. Smiling at a couple of younglings as they descended the stairs giggling.

Likely sneaking off for a look at the Starships, he remembered similar excursions with his creche mates when he had been young. Koren had read the texts on what the Jedi Temple had been like on Coruscant back before the Purge, and honestly, he couldn't imagine it. They were the same order and held to the same ideals yet in many ways they were so different. While with member states of the Galactic Alliance settled more into stability, reforging long lost links between worlds devastated by the Empire, resulted in more people being submitted to the Jedi at a younger age for testing many of the Padawans in the temple were still in their twenties having joined the Jedi Order much later in life.

It made sense, in order to protect the people of the Galaxy the Jedi had to be part of the Galaxy. They couldn't become detached from reality, that was what lead to the destruction of the Old Jedi Order after all. Or so everyone's best guess led them to believe. Not even Master Nyx could truly say one way or the other, and she was their resident historian.

As he climbed to the top of the stairs he smiled as the round building came into view, perched atop a hill on the site of an old Jedi Temple, surrounded by smaller dwellings and living spaces. Koren could faintly see the caretakers walking amongst the buildings. Apparently, Master Skywalker had struggled at first to convince them to allow a new temple to be constructed here. To this day nobody but he knew how they had finally been convinced. Koren had always told himself he'd ask if he ever managed to get someone on one time with Master Skywalker, though the chances of that happening were slim to none.

That said today was a possible day for firsts. Since he left the temple years ago, Koren had only ever come back to study or rest between missions. Usually given assignment over the Holonet and yet suddenly, he was being called back? Whatever this was. It was important.

UNKNOWN REGIONS // UNNAMED SYSTEM

^{ONE YEAR AGO}

The ship thrashed around in the rain, repulsors straining against the high winds. Blackguards stood motionless despite the harsh conditions, diligent in their duty. The ships wings turned up as the legs extending, touching down against the hard ground. The door hissing open, the light being cast out. The man at the front of the ship raised his handcuffed hands together to protect his face from the harsh winds. The stormtrooper behind him shoved his forearm into the humans back. Shoving him forward and out of the vessel into the rain unprotected. The prisoner turned back and cast a glare at his captor with his bloodied and bruised face.

Pushed out he walked towards the door into the facility, guarded by four blackguards. Their armour glistening in stark difference to that of the Stormtroopers who had been his jailors for almost a year now, tortured and broken him. Somehow their visible faces beneath their helmets made them even more terrifying. In the winds and the rain they stood dutifully, stoic and unmoving. The door opened, the glimmering silver armour of Phasma in the light. She turned as he was brought close. Once the door was closed behind them and the roaring winds ceased, he was surprised now by the warmth of the facility. It looked old, he was struggling to date it but it looked right.

His heart rose in his throat. "You can't do-" His voice felt foreign in his throat, painful.

Phasma spun, the back of her hand colliding with his cheek and with a loud smack he was knocked down off his feet and back into the arms of a trooper. The trooper was knocked off balance, allowing him to push down and grab his sidearm. Pulling the trigger the trooper dropped to the ground as a charred hole smoked in the centre of his chest, he raised the gun at Phasma, to find three more blasters raised towards him. "NO!"

Phasma spoke, the troopers looking at each other uneasily. Smiling a sad smile Tyrell Lanstead turned the pistol up underneath his chin and closed his eyes, pulling the trigger. Suddenly he felt the blaster pulled away from him, forcing him to stumble slightly, a pressure around his throat lifted him off his feet. His hands clawing at his constricted float, trying to clear the airway that wasn't being blocked by anything physical, and yet the nature of the attack left instincts kicking in to try and free up his airway.

As he was dropped to the floor gasping for air he came face to face with a set of black books. Looking up to see the figure stood before him, blade pointed down at his head. "Don't worry, you'll be allowed to die. We need to finish our work together first." The figure leaned down, till his helmet nearly came into contact with Tyrells face.

"Our work is very important."

Star Wars - Rise of Crusade

Name: Koren Omi-Ren

Species: Human

Age: 29

Faction: Jedi Order

Equipment:

Lightsaber: The Kyber Crystal gives the blade a light blue hue.

Image

The Nightfury: ILH-KK Citadel Class Cruiser retrofit to modern specifications. It has a standard complement of 1x Delta-7B Aethsprite Light Interceptor which is painted black as his personal starfighter.

Abilities:

Basic Telekinetic Abilities: Like most Jedi he learnt how to control the Force by using telekinesis, pushing, pulling, levitating. He has grown quite proficient at it, able to use it to jump higher and farther than most un-augmented organics.

Basic Precognition: Some call a Jedi Lucky, but a true Jedi knows that the Force is what guides them. He's no Seer however, and his precognition is limited to helping him anticipate what's going to happen next in combat.

Plant Surge: Koren has the ability to interact with the Force that resides within plants, encouraging them to grow, or gather information from them. It gives him a unique advantage while he is on a planet with dense vegetation.

Alter Environment: Much in a similar way to how he learnt how to interact with plants Koren can interact with the molecules in the air to adjust the local environment. The larger the area he attempts to alter, the more taxing it is and the less time he can keep it up for. However he can create localised storms with some success.

Animal Friendship: Being a natural empath he fuels this with the Force allowing him to connect more easily with wildlife, able to calm them or convince them to aide him if the need arises.

Skills:

Tracker: Spending plenty of time out in the wilds he's a skilled tracker, be it at tracking game or at tracking people.

Studious: Koren has spent much of his time researching

Lightsaber Use: Koren is most proficient in Form II, though like most Jedi he has some skill in form III.

Fair Pilot: While he's no Jedi Ace the likes of those in the Old Republic, he can hold his own while in the cockpit.

Cook: He can cook a stew on just about any planet, with any list of ingredients.

Weaknesses:

Combat: He's more of a duelist than an actual fighter. He can handle himself against your average fighter, but against more seasoned fighters he's in for a struggle.

Urban Agoraphobia: His upbringing and most of his skills put him at his best in more rural environments. While he can work in urban environments he is certainly uncomfortable, in environments such as cities without much nature much of his metaphorical toolbox is useless.

Sheltered: He's been with the Jedi Order since he was a child, scouted at a very young age. As such he has little real-world experience outwith the order.

History: Koren was born to Corellian parents Tyrell and Myra Omi-Ren, shipwrights in the outer districts of Coronet City. Little did young Koren know that the Omi-Rens had a long-standing history of producing Jedi younglings. During the reign of the Empire that specific part of their history was locked up tight to prevent the Empire from snooping too much on any children they might have, questioning their loyalty or just outright killing them to prevent any chance of the Omi-Rens producing more Jedi.

Their family history was only revealed to Tyrell by his father after the battle of Endor, and the death of the Emperor. When the Empire fractured into hundreds of different pieces. The history of their people was restored, ready to be passed down once more from generation to generation.

Like many children throughout the Galaxy as Lukes Jedi Order grew in status and in legend, Koren was tested for Force Sensitivity, once it was discovered he had the ability to control the Force he was sent to Ahch-To to be trained in the ways of the Force. He remembers what little his parents told him about his family legacy before he left, determined to make his mark and bring back the Omi-Ren name into the pages of Jedi History.

A night that sticks in his mind is the night Luke Skywalker sat with him in the mess hall, asking him questions about his families legacy, what little pieces of information parents of Jedi long past had managed to glean from the holonet after their children were given and committed and given to the Order. It struck Koren then how Luke kept his head down, and didn't overestimate his place, nor ignoring the lessons history or legacy taught them. Something he understood even more once Lukes parentage was revealed.

Korens skillset was something of an oddity among his peers, he discovered them seemingly at random. Finding that he had a stronger connection the plant and animal life than his peers. Honing these abilities and skills, using lessons from the Jedi Library and his families history to piece together who he was and what was he capable off. Despite growing up in the city, as he had left at such a young age he found himself thriving out in the wilds. He took every outdoor survival class he could, speaking to Rangers whenever they landed on the planet.

A Padawan during the Daala crisis he was one of five that were in Separatist Space at the time, he refused point blank to open fire on a Separatist Blockade (Which turned out to be the right decision to make). Once Daala emerged the five of them worked together with the Separatists to orchestrate their counter-attack in what would become the Galactic Alliance.

Since becoming a Jedi Knight Koren has focused his attentions on travelling to rural worlds that are having problems with crops or environmental issues (issues that are common place after how the Empire strip-mined and polluted planets), after several years in the field he visited home where his parents gifted him with his new ship, in which he now returns to the Jedi Temple for re-assignment.
