Type Text Here I think making the force not work on you would be stupid, maybe not god moding as the uber awesomeness of not being able to be touched by the force is countered by the fact you can't use it. But that also means if you ever meet Virtra or any other Sith they pretty much just have to kill you because they can't do suspensiful choaking and what not. yeah but, wouldnt they kill you anyway? razz

No, although my character Darth Iballa, which is all action no talk is meant to just hack you to bits at the sight, certain plot ploy can be used such as toying with you until you get a chance to escape, thus still making the evil look evil but allowing you to live. Think about obi he got away from Virtra alive because of someone coming along. Thing like that, allowing that extra times mean you live that moment longer taking that away just means Star and the other mods have to work harder to get you an escape clause for your character.

Yes, but if you can't affect him with the force or use the force in that area around him... if he moved in for close quarters combat you would just be two humans on equal terms (or perhaps an alien) and that would make the odds of him surviving better. I'd strive for equality in a fight rather than just trying to survive.

i'm kind of trying to make a more equal bridge between players who are not force sensitive and players who are, because before everyone who was any good was either force sencitive or had superpowers. we need some people of pure awesome who dont need the force XD
obviously, someone with the force can easily beat someone without it, but it'd be good if some people could go without the force and other super powers but still be able to play

Sarai-san Yes, but if you can't affect him with the force or use the force in that area around him... if he moved in for close quarters combat you would just be two humans on equal terms (or perhaps an alien) and that would make the odds of him surviving better. I'd strive for equality in a fight rather than just trying to survive. Well then, I think that simple ruins the RP. If he ever came to attack Virtra and got into close combat it would ruin the image of Virtra, she'd no-longer look like the all powerful dark lord, but someone who is simple bested by an amulet. Beside that, if any such item was to exist I know my character would go to great length to kill whoever holds it, by means such as simple crushing them, then taking and destory the amulet and close quarter would be avoided. I don't like the idea, as I think it destory the image of Virtra if it was used against her. Galdon i'm kind of trying to make a more equal bridge between players who are not force sensitive and players who are, because before everyone who was any good was either force sencitive or had superpowers. we need some people of pure awesome who dont need the force XD If there were people who had superpowers (say power indvidual to there race) and these amulets means they could crush any Jedi, lickity split. Galdon there many guilds devoted to superpowers elsewhere... this is a starwars guild the whole purpose of it is to be star wars related, and the cosmic force in star wars that is about giving people super powers is the force. Beside that I think that one of the most important thing of Role Playing has been forgotten right now... Everyone doesn't need to be awesome powerful. It cool if some character aren't able to stand against others, I mean if I just made my character as strong as Virtra so she wouldn't 'pick on me' it would ruin my side of the RP. Some-times playing a weak character can add depth to the RP. Think Han Solo had no force power yet he still was an awesome character becuase he excelled else were. All I'm saying making it more 'equal' isn't the goal, it about making the rp more 'deep' and 'fun'.

Well, I'd just like to say a big thank you to my younger brother for not only killing his own P.C but also for killing mine. I'm using a friends at the moment and I have no idea what I'm going to do about my computer, I do know that it probably wont matter however as I'll likely be in prison for murder. Maybe I can plead insanity?
This is Matt signing off for as long as it takes to get his computer fixed (and considering his financial status...) or until he gets access to a computer inside.

First off... (I know... wow... I'm here)
Ysalamir are creatures not amulets and they only have an effective radius of about 15 feet. Virtra is more intelligent than to let the person holding one get close. While it would put them on equal terms physically... Virtra can throw more than enough rocks and objects at the person to crush them before they get close... and you are also forgetting she is a master swordsman so they definitely would not be on equal terms close quarters just she would be without force powers. However I think someone such as Virtra has contingency plans for such eventualities.
And as for what galdon was saying about no powered people being equals... what about the Vong? Boba Fett? Dark Troopers? There are pleanty of non-force wielders who can tango.
On that note... are we going to get someone to RP Boba Fett? What about Aurra Sing since we have the Dark Woman? Just some questions...

Ok... I've made a list of items that I need for a Bicara avitar. I'm thrifty so it's completely new and it will only cost me 11,800 for the whole thing, new hair and all. So if anyone would like to donate gold or blue tribal tattoos... that would be appreciate.

Kyia_Kersoevi Well, I'd just like to say a big thank you to my younger brother for not only killing his own P.C but also for killing mine.

Wow that sucks dude... Violente First off... (I know... wow... I'm here) Ysalamir are creatures not amulets and they only have an effective radius of about 15 feet. Virtra is more intelligent than to let the person holding one get close. While it would put them on equal terms physically...

Dark Troopers? There are pleanty of non-force wielders who can tango. On that note... are we going to get someone to RP Boba Fett? What about Aurra Sing since we have the Dark Woman? Just some questions... The Ysalamir were only being used as examples to what other creatures have the power, please read all posts before replying XD Galdon was preposing having a amulet that zapped power, that or some kind of artifact. Now as for the rocks thing I have spoken of that, I'm saying having such amulet would force virtra to not toy with but kill, and what if whom Virtra is fighting is an expert sword fighter? Then it'd be equal, which is completely draining of Virtra all powerful persona. Beside all that, I'm talking about the Plot repercussion of such an item. a) I think it'd lessen Virtra character. b) It would force, force-users to kill the character rather than toy with it via choaking. c) Make a head-ache of ways to keep the character alive in a plot when facing other force-users, because I know my character would have such a user of an amulet of this power on his top ten 'to kill list.' But after all, it up to the moderators if they want it or not. I concure on your last point, there are a lot of great character whom don't use the force who can fight the Jedi and Sith using technology, but even then I want to stress equality isn't the goal a fun and diverst RP is. galdon during the novacorp storyline there were many people with powers outside of the force, if you even care to remmember. we're moving away from that to get back to just starwars now, what i'm saying is that it'd be nice if you could play as someone without the force, but not be so much weaker that it'd make it hard to play. without the force, your only hope of surviving a sith lord as it is, would be if that sith lord felt you were not worth the effort of doing a force choke. yes, an encounter with a big name sith would mean death to all they intended to die save for a few heros, but, i mean for normal players, meeting a minor dark jedi/sith/other in a bar or something and getting off on the wrong foot would get you killed just as easy without a form of defence against the force. honestly, if even han solo would look like mud during a scene if one of the sith were to pick him up and toss him into a few tables, and seriously, he'd have no way of stopping it from happening. just trying to find a way of balance to allow for nonforce sensitive players to roam while not making them automatically inferior to force sensitive ones (esspecially since the current arc is playing a near eradication of the jedi already so we cant all be jedi) I am aware that during Novacorp there were many different powers floating around, I mean look at Metus his an example powers outside of the force. But like you said we are moving away from that. It wouldn't be hard to play, I mean there are no real minor sith lords.... I mean hell there will only be six sith lords plus virtra, (correct me if I'm wrong) all with different strength, well I guess Bicara would be the physically weakest seeming she more about talking and force power (well that at least what her character seems to suit) and most effect by said Amulet. But once more, she'd know that and simple drop bricks on you till you die. If anything, having the amulet makes you more likely to die plot wise. I'm just saying non force sensitive plays are -meant- to be weaker they are -meant- to be inferior in strength. Albeit the force sensitivity and strength of members in this guild seem to far exceed what I see in the movies. Still if you play a regular human, it kinda a given your ment to be less action more talk, or that your meant to fight using vechicles of specialised weapons, or something to give you an edge. I just don't really like the amulet idea, becuase I just feel it'll limit what can happen to you. I see your character being like a regular person with a sabre by the way correct me if I'm wrong. And there is a new Jedi Temple so everyone -can- be a Jedi as there is only about at most 10 Jedi I think. That not many, espically seeming there meant to be a new temple, meaning new students you could easily be one of them. But it up to what you want and the mods, but I'm worried if you and a like 3 others want to be all uneffected by the force so we have a whole lot of regular humans walking around being untouchable by the one cool aspect of playing in the star wars cannon.

Illyria_The Old One_ Ok... I've made a list of items that I need for a Bicara avitar. I'm thrifty so it's completely new and it will only cost me 11,800 for the whole thing, new hair and all. So if anyone would like to donate gold or blue tribal tattoos... that would be appreciate. Virtra hates tattoos she wouldn't let her sith lords get tattoos by the way, just thought I'd point it out. So if you want it for your avi sure, just don't apply it to your IRP character.

one cent: i think it would be bicara's way of rebellion against virtra. it would be her personal expression and while she is undeniably loyal and obedient to Virtra's orders and decrees... even bicara would have a wish to show some backbone to Virtra. that's why I think tattoo's for her would be a good thing. you can't just have her be a pansy who bows and says, "yes master master..." like a sith lord igor. that would just be pathetic and suck. I think Illyria knows what it takes to make a complicated character and it's the little nuances that she places on things that bring her character's persona to life. that's my opinion though.
two cent: By the by... when someone calls Virtra and expert swordswoman... that means she's in a class above the rest. you'd be hard pressed to find someone to rival that. I mean we've seen that her blades so far do regular saber blade, rapier, fencing (like dooku), and a whip format.... that's a multipicity of fighting styles and to be able to change from one to another with fluidity and speed such as hers... that's just pure skill. Virtra would own all even without the force to make her awesome. No amulet would take away from sadistic nature which makes her who she is... but I still think the ysalamir is what we've decided can be allowed... not an amulet. I think it would be cool to have a charater with a pet ysalamir, that would take some skills to rp and create his/her fighting style and means of interaction with jedi to sith alike.
this is sarai's two cents now ending.

that's precisely why I'm doing it actually... I kind of hate that Sarai reads into all of the literary things. Why aren't YOU writing a book? question She spits out poetry and literary flippancy like it was second hand conversation... it's annoying! I had to think about this for hours. stare
