CLOSE

[Tsurugi]

I know that there are a lot of these going around but I decided I wanted to make my own. It won't start for awhile yet as I want to finish my Mass Effect RP first and I will probably also wait till one of the other Star Wars RPs ends. (Probably from a week up to 3. If nobody shows any interest then I will post pone this and put it up in a couple of weeks when the other Star Wars RPs calm down.)

For this one I want it to take place somewhere around the KOTOR games era. I think this era would make a good RP but I don't know exactly when it should take place but I have some ideas which I am putting into the poll. If you have any suggestions just give them and if I like them I will put them into the poll. (Remember around the time of the two KOTOR games but I might make an exception.)

After the era is decided I will start working on a story. Anyone interested in joining can PM me with a character once we know the era. Unless you want to make a character before you know and then adapt it later. Remember this won't start for awhile (probably a week or so depending on the RPs). I don't know whether I am going to make this invite only or not but I want to decide on the era first so I can make a story and see how many people I want in on it. The rules are not complete yet, I am thinking on how posting should go.

The ideas so far are:
Mandalorian Wars (Pre-KOTOR)
Jedi Civil War (KOTORish)
Post-Jedi Civil War (KOTOR 2)
Rebuilding of the Jedi (Post-Kotor 2, don't know what I would do for this one.)

Update: Just keeping it near the top.
I see some people have voted and Mandalorian Wars is the top..this is the one I want to do and the one I have the most thought out on. It gives you the option to be pretty much any race because the republic would have hired mercenaries and would have other races as soldiers. (An example is the Iridonian Bao-Dur who was a mechanic for the Republic during the war.) I would probably be a general of some sort maybe even one of the Jedi that went with Revan. You could also do that just not as high standing as mine. Keep voting because I have plans for all of them except maybe the last one but it would be the most unique, I think.

Hehehe ill play, and Im going to be a army of Ewoks, woooo go the little forest bears!

 

[mshcherbatskaya]

I have a Sith Lord character, Sith Lady actually, who could some assassinating, but it would only work in a post-KOTOR II time frame.

 

[Tsurugi]

That sucks cause most people have voted for Mandalorian Wars or Jedi Civil War...you couldn't change it?

 

[Dinnj]

I'd give it a whirl whatever the era.

 

[Reasonable Doubt]

Same here I just want to be a god damn Mandalorian or at least a sith.

 

[Tsurugi]

You could be mandalorian no matter what era but you would be the enemy if Mandalorian Wars wins.

 

[The Lyre]

What were you thinking of doing in the Mandalorian Wars?

Oh, and KOTOR2 was still really in the Jedi-Civil war, it was just being fought in a very different way then...mainly because the Jedi had been owned, yes, but the fact that they hadn't categorically lost meant the war was still going on, it just didn't involve massive assaults and wars anymore...it didn't really need to since Nihilus could just suck planets dry if he felt a Jedi presence on it, and Sion was assassinating any leftovers.

I voted for Jedi Civil war, but I think I might rather change that to Mandalorian, depends how you feel it would affect the RP really.

 

[Tsurugi]

No in KOTOR 2 the jedi were pretty much extinct the war was over and the Sith were hunting down the remaining ones though by KOTOR 2 the only one they knew of was the Exile. It is said in the game itself that the Jedi Civil War was over.

Eugh, now I have to go hunting for a quote from Kreia;

The Jedi Civil War was still being fought by the Sith - the Jedi just didn't know it.

They were squeezing the economy out of the Rebuplic, assassinating exiles and Jedi in hiding etc. - the Sith were STILL engaged in war, it was just one of stealth, not one of crude warfare.

For now vrook will have to do;

"We are at war, but it is unlike any war we have fought before?we have yet to even meet our attackers in battle. Somehow our enemy is targeting us through the Force, striking, then retreating to the shadows. The gathering of any Jedi seems to attract them like a beacon."
―Vrook Lamar

Also, the Jedi Council still remained, and that alone outnumbered the two remaining Sith Lords after Kreia's exile.

EDIT; For reference if it involves this era, I think this phase of the Jedi Civil War is also called the First Jedi Purge...then again, it seems that all information, even the canonical stuff, debates whether or not the events after the final battle (as in, the last open engagement) is still the same Civil war or another entirely...meh, either way, the war was still raging long after the Jedi assumed they had lost.

...I now feel like a geek, so I should point out the quote was from Wookiepedia, NOT from memory or anything weird like that.

 

[Tsurugi]

Not here to argue when it took place but to end this: Thank you for reccomending Wookiepedia because it proved my point for me, "In the years after the close of the Jedi Civil War, the weakened Order became weaker still due to the actions of hidden fragments of the beaten Sith Empire." Right under your quote too, careless.

As I said, there seems to be an ongoing debate, but direct quotes from in game say otherwise - the close is not the same as the definitive end either, but that is pointless semantics.

The Jedi-Civil war was still ongoing up until the end of KOTOR 2 - this is like saying the Cold War never took place because there was no open aggression between Russian and America, it doesn't change the fact that they were setting up nukes, supporting other countries in conflict etc.

If a war that does not involve open battle is inconceivable, then yes, the Jedi Civil War ended in the fight between Malak's and the Republic's Fleets around the Star Forge, if it is possible for a war to continue behind the scenes due to assassinations, econonomical pressure and straining etc, then the Jedi Civil War was still going right up until Kreia's death, as Kreia herself, the Jedi Council, and the Sith Lords all seemed to think and say in game.

And no, simple semantics do not 'end this', there is no set end to this war in particular, it is possible to say that as long as there are Jedi and Sith in the Star Wars universe, that this war will still be ongoing, but that is a little drastic, and of course not specifically stated by characters...like my argument is.

 

[Tsurugi]

Once again not here to argue so we have to stop but there is in game parts where it is said that the war was over, said by Atton and by Goto but you can argue they did not know what was going on behind the scenes even though they did.

 

[mshcherbatskaya]

Now that I think of it, Jedi Civil war would be perfect. I change my vote to Jedi civil war

 

[mshcherbatskaya]

Does it really matter where KOTOR 2 falls in relation to the Jedi War? Unless we have a scenario that has specific requirements, and we don't have a scenario yet.

Well, I was actually trying to be helpful My intention was to say that KOTOR 2 was not the empty period that 'after this war' sounded like.

Now that I think of it, Jedi Civil war would be perfect. I change my vote to Jedi civil war

Yeah, it's very open ended, there's the possibility of two parallel plots - one sith and one jedi team for example, and it is definitely one of the darker points of the universe; a lot of torture and interrogation, even the Jedis got a little morally grey in there what with the mass-desertion. Any race could have been involved, on many, many planets, and it indirectly includes Revan, making it brilliant.

Yeah, I'm sticking with Jedi Civil War myself.

 

[Tsurugi]

I know that is why I said we need to stop because it doesn't matter for this RP. People switching their votes means that I will have to write down how many votes for each thing by manually counting, unless you didn't vote in the poll yet then we are good. (mshcherbatskaya did you vote in the for post-jedi civil war?, if not then I don't think I have to count them.)

 

[mshcherbatskaya]

I can do anywhere other than Mandalorian Wars, I think. Really depends on the scenario, since Erzabet isn't a fighter.

 

[Tsurugi]

Yes but did you vote in the poll up above?
