Special Rules

Apprentices

Every school of the Force has learners, so why not be one of them? After all, not everyone is a master. Here are the rules:

-You're Force skills are incredibly weak. Do not expect to be lifting things bigger than say a stack of books, and that's with practice.

-Lightsaber skills are on par with someone who has been practicing with a vibrosword for a few months. Saber throws and other fancy tricks are out of question until after some practice.

-You may only use a lightsaber. Not two, not a greatsaber, not a saberstaff. One saber.

-You're stuck with lightsaber Form 1, although you can tweak it a little to your style. Don't expect to be able to do any crazy acrobatics:

Shii-Cho - The most basic techniques, the basics of attack, parry, body target zones, and the practice drills called velocities are all here. Pretty much stuck with anything you can use. Effective if honed, especially against multiple opponents, but overall weak.

-Your Master will teach you to develop Force Skills. You can't perfect all of them obviously, but you can grow proficient in one or two skills per planet visited or training sessions done.

These skills are:


Padawan/Apprentice: Everyone starts off as a youngling. You must be trained by a knight. Your skills are non-existant mostly. So you start off:

-No force powers, but gain one or two per planet, depending on time spent.

-No using dual or poleblades until knighthood, and using only Style 1.

-Must choose preferance for the force or the lightsaber. see below.

1)Philosophy:

This is the style which you fight. It determines some factors, though remember what you will be using before you hastily decide. You may recognize these from Knights of the Old Republic. Often times, this is more important as padawans who lack much battle experience and have a harder time compensating for a weakness.

Jedi Guardian/Sith Mauler - True fighters of an order, the lightsaber comes before all. Tending to be quite public, preparing for a confrontation is the primary objective.

Jedi Consular/Sith Corruptor - Masters at wielding the force, these warriors tend to delve into the mysteries of the force, and often times are instructors or scholars.

Jedi Sentinel/Sith Infiltrator - Balanced between the lightsaber and the skills of the force, these warriors have devoted themselves to other skills as well, such as hacking, security, etc.




As said before, you will also learn one to two skills per planet. You can choose from (description later):

-Force Push/Pull
-Force Jump
-Force Levitate
-Force Speed
-Mind Probe
-Force Persuade

-Force Heal
-Force Absorb
-Battle meditation

-Force Lightning
-Dark Craze
-Force Choke

Skills Description:

Push/Pull: This skill is a duh. You can push or pull one unwilling opponent.

Jump: Ability to jump higher and farther, as well as land with better control from high distances.

Speed: This is you on Crank. You are insanely fast, but only in dire times. You will almost run faster than a laser.

Levitate: Allows you to pick up inanimate objects and throw them, such as a rock or your lightsaber.

Mind Probe: Search someone's thoughts and feelings and maybe discover somethign of interest.

Force Persuade: Not quite a mindtrick or mindcloud yet, you can still influence people to a small degree using this skill. It will not affect the strong of mind, and the weak of mind only are influenced, not controlled.

Heal: Everybody needs a little healing sometime. Not as good as bacta, but great first aid. However, this is not an instant process. Healing takes time, so use sparringly.

Force Absorb: Takes most Force attacks and absorbs them, aka deflect them.

Battle Meditation: By meditating, the Jedi can forsee incoming attacks before some happen, and have a chance to block more. It also works on a larger scale, influencing those allies around you to be more confident, and boost morale.

Dark Craze: A technique that drains you until battle is over or you pass out. Speed, dexderity, strength, and focus increase.

Lightning: Go Palpatine on the fool, make like Metallica and make 'em "Ride the Lightning"! Self-explanitory. Only effective against one person.

Choke: Works on more than just choking, as it can also be used as a grip-like power, enabling you to toss living things. Also considered Grip.

Note that Imperial Knights can use any combination of these skills. The Jedi will stick mostly to neutral and blue skills, while Sith will mostly use red and grey skills.

Knights

You've passed the trials and are now a fledged knight. Your mastery of the Force is more complete than before, and your skills are much more fine-tuned.

Knights:

-Take orders from the council or lords
-Can train apprentices and become masters.
-Can use dual sabers or poleblades if focusing on lightsaber preferance
-Can change their form from form 1 to another:


Form 2: Makashi - An old style rarely used by the jedi. One studies the precise manipulation of the blade, making them very strong against another lightsaber wielder. However, in this present day and age, blasters and other weapons are used, and the precise manipulation of blades pretty much sucks against blaster fire. Sith should consider this form, if expecting many duels with jedi. Dooku used this style.

Form 3: Soresu - The all around Defensive style. Unlike form 2, this style is quite adept at blocking lasers. It is widely reguarded that form 3 is even invincible once mastered, as it depends on effecient movements and precise control to block blasters and lightsabers. The only downside is that the form is not for offense, rather, it is stronger when redirecting a blaster or attack back at the opponent. Obi-Wan preferred this style.

Form 4: Ataru- Unlike Form 3 and it''''s lack of exposure, Form 4 does the opposite. Using acrobatic movements and the force to move as much as possible, its defense relies more on evading rather than blocking. Mastery makes the user a blur, and only the strongest can defend against it. Yoda and Qui-gon both used this technique.

Form 5: Shien- Focusing on offensive, this style is basically pound the s**t out of the opponent. While form three is defensive, soemtimes it cannot overpower the opponent. Shien takes this, and using many defensive abilities from three, allows to push through. However, it sacrifices some defence for this. Widely reguarded as a domination style, Vader embodied this style.

Form 6: Niman- The diplomatic style, 6 incorporates all styles 1-5. Very flexible in its usage, Niman is very useful where one does not know what to expect. In knowing all the other styles, however, it isn''''t as focused, making it have no other distinct advantage.

Form 7: Juyo or Vaapad- Mace Windu''''s own style, it is styles 1-6, but better. It is by far the most powerful, but relatively fresh and undiscovered. In fact, only Mace Windu himself had ever come close to mastering it. The downside is the complexity of the style can take decades to learn, and thus, many prefer to master another style. If learned though, the style will be bold, powerful, demanding, but not flashy. Only one word can describe it: Overwelming.


Certain skills upgrade upon knighthood if they were originally trained in the pre-requisites. These skills are:

Force Push > Force Wave
Force Speed > Force Sprint
Force Persuade > Jedi Mindtrick/ Sith Mindcloud
Force Lightning > Force Storm

Descriptions:

Force Wave: A skill much like push, this skill can fire a "wave" of force energy, and knock all people down in that general direction.

Force Sprint: A skill that exceeds Force Speed. Using all the energy in a quick burst, one is able even to outrun a blaster... for a short distance.

Mind trick: *waves hand* You will not fight me. Doesn''''t work on powerful minds. Can make people bend to do actions.

Sith Mindcloud: Much like the Jedi mindtrick, you can make weak minds do your bidding. But unlike the mindtrick, it is by confusion instead of clarity.

Force Storm: Even more powerful than lightning, this not only targets more than one opponent, but has more range, and covers a greater area than lightning.

Masters

Force Masters have an almost complete mastery of the Force and are able to use any skill with much power and skill.


Masters Can:

-Take apprentices or guide Knights
-learn the last saber form
-Learn an Ultimate force power


Ultimatum Moves:

Force Sphere: A neutral Force move, it involves creating a bubble of sorts, and pushing all objects away from the user in all directions for about 50 feet. Basically: Force push, except 360 degrees.

Force Shield: Another Neutral skill, the user may choose to put forth a combination of levitate, push, and absorb in a concentrated attack that works effectively against all incoming projectiles, much like a shield.

Jedi Meld: Link minds with other force-users, allowing many to act as one person. Consequences however, include that minds could potentially overload and kill a person if they are not proficient enough in the Force.


Force Feedback: The limited nature of force absorb is limited to only absorbing or deflecting the attack of lasers and force moves. However, a trained master can capture, and then redirect the attack right back at an opponent. However, many times this creates a deadlocked battle, turning the battle into a lightsaber dual instead of a force battle.

Drain life: A true sith skill, the sith lord can drain life out of his opponent, and convert it back to him. However, this does not work all of the time, and the target must be weakened to have any real effect as well.

Mind Shift: A skill used by sith lords who would rather use deception and trickery than direct confrontation. Sith Lords with this skill can literally seperate their spirtual entities including the force out of their corporal husk. They can either sit tight, not move their bodies, and basically etherally travel like ghosts to places, or remote control their bodies and not be sensed through unnatural means.

Centers of Attention:

Abregado Rae ...

Freya Starsinger yawned as she awoke from her bunk. Here in the Galactic Liberation Front's "secret" base, which was a neat trick, seeing as someone had the suggestion of hiding in plain sight, so close to the Core.

Still, she had her two E-54 blasters strapped to her legs, strapping their respective holsters to her dark fatigue pants. She then donned her dark leather jacket.

"Hello there, sleepyhead," intoned a small rust and primer coloured astromech, whom spoke in a melodious, pleasant voice.

"Like, hey, Rusty," Freya said to the droid, absently running a hand through her just above shoulder length blonde hair. "So, is there like totally any news and stuff?" she queried of the droid.

"Just new recruits coming in, Freya," Rusty replied.

"And Gunther?" she asked. "What is he up to?" she asked, refering to her younger "brother", whom was actually her cousin. As a small child, she was taken in by her late uncle, Veron Starsinger the Fourth, whom raised her as his own.

"Conscientious, as usual, of course," Rusty said. "Allready, he's training with a remote, and re-arranging cargo with the Force." With an electronic sigh, he then added, "I tell you ... that boy really pushes himself."

As if on cue, a young man's voice chimed in. "The path of the Jedi takes serious commitment." he soberly said. "Why, just yesterday, I strained to lift the Aldera Ballet. Took me three tries before I managed to raise it a meter,"

"Well, like totally take a breather and stuff!" Freya said to the young man. "I swear, I've half a mind to so totally have a word with that crazy jawa," she said, shaking her head.

"That is not necessary," Gunther sheepishly laughed. "Master Vrook only does what he deems fit." he said calmly.

Freya merely shrugged at that, before turning to Rusty. "Well, we're up for the patrol roster today, Rusty. Are you like totally ready?"

"As always," the droid said. "Let us be off to the hangar,"

3 MONTHS PRIOR…

Boop… Boop… Boop… BING!
In an instant, the entire arena filled with the sound of powerful engines punching out of the tractor break systems. The Podracers blasted out of the arena, with a sharp left turn, leading into the beginning of the course. The New Plympto Axe Memory course came out of was once the Cadgel Meadows starport, and into Half-Axe Pass. Once the site of a powerful battle between the Republic turned Empire forces vs Nosaurians Separatist forces with the aid of a Jedi. Now, this area, and the rest of the planet were nearly uninhabitable due to the Vong wipping out the planet’s surface with biological weapons. This was perfect for a dangerous Podrace. And nothing different for Llednar Seei’Huo.
His racer punched pass a pillar of what was left of a library next to it. The racer, 3 racers down, was not as lucky. He was clipped by another podracer, and his slammed into one of the pillars holding the building up still. The pod of his racer shot of, bringing him to safety, but the racer in last had no chance. He tried to move out of the way, but the building slammed into the ground, cutting away at the path. It slammed into it, its plasma engines letting out a bright purple blast that Llednar could see without have to spin around all the way. He was in fourth, and the pods ahead were trying to block his way. #2 and #3 were trying to block him on purpose, apprently hired by the pod in the lead. But, Blovo had the racer behind him hired for just this reason. He was an Utai, and wasn’t half bad as a bully type of racer either. Llednar let the Utai’s pod blast ahead, and began to hit the two other pods. Then, Llednar saw the gap. He punched the accelerator and when through the small gap, turning his pod on a near perfect 90 degree angle. Now he was past them, but he caught a quickly glance of the Utai pod’s left engine explode, taking out one the other pods with it.
Now it was him and the lead. He blasted forward and got a quick look at the lead racer. Sugwis, a dug, and a nasty one too. He was known as the most double crossing and sabotager around. But, Llednar always checked his pods over before starting a race.
But, didn’t I check every part this time…?
He saw the dug snicker and the click a button. Llednar’s front engine cables snapped and his pod lundged forward. His engines smashed into a large post of a hover train track, and exploded. His body was lundged out the pod. He watched as a flat sheet of durasteel flew towards him.
And this is where he became shocked. As the metal flew at him, he put out his hands, and somehow redirected the metal out of the way before it sliced him in half. Thing was, he never touched it.
Wha… I couldn’t have moved without touchin-
Then he flet the strong current of a plasma spark shoot from his racer before the other pod slammed into the ground. He passed out right away, which was good, because he didn’t have to feel any of the pain of slamming through broken glass into the room of an insane asylum. He slammed into the padded wall, and fell to the ground…

A lone figure stood, wielding an amethyst blade. Mother, please watch over me, wherever you are ... was her silent prayer, as she sat cross-legged in meditation.

"Iria, I thought I'd find you here," said a young man's voice. "Are you all right?" he asked with a note of concern.

"Yes, thank you, Sir Gunther." Iria replied, shutting down her amethyst blade. "How are yourself and Lady Freya faring this day?" the young lady asked.

Gunther smiled sheepishly to her. "We are fine, thanks for asking." he said. "Freya is flying a patrol today." he absently said. "She and Rusty are filling in for someone from Shark Squadron today."

"I see," Iria said. "She is indeed a capable pilot, to be sure," she commented. "I still remember when we rescued Lady Angel from Coruscant."

"Yes." Gunther said, a slight frown on his kindly features. "It was there where Master Kalnar fell to Stryfe's blade." Shaking his head, he then added, "I too nearly fell when he separated me from yourself and Colonel Seraphim. I too would be one with the Force now, if not for the timely intervention of Master Vrook."

"Yes," Iria said. "And Sir Luger almost left you!" she said, shaking her head. "Thankfully, Lady Freya petitioned him to come back for you, and convinced them to turn the ship around. I believe she and Sir Gorwooken utilized what is known as 'agressive negotiation', in this case,"

At that, Gunther had to laugh. "I can imagine!" he replied. "In any case, I have to see Master Vrook." he declared. "Take care of yourself. And," the young man offered, "Don't worry too much. I imagine wherever she's at, she's proud of you," he said, patting her gently on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Sir Gunther," Iria said, hugging the young knight. "That means a lot to me."

"Certainly," Gunther said, reciprocating the embrace before startign off to find the eccentric jawa whom has trained him.

A few days had past... Something had happened when that charge went through him from his podracer. It had short-circited the bomb placed in his ribs. It was bound to Blovo. And Blovo knew that he was still alive too. It was hard getting off of New Plympto, when there was only one way off...
---
Blast... another guard...
Llednar watched as one of Blovo's guards scanned a crate being put into a transport. Now that the podrace was over, the only people left were the crago crews. They moved cargo on in a hurry, not wanting to deal with Blovo's people anymore. The last cargo was scanned and put on.
This is my chance! But how?!
Then it came. Someone messed up something, and something blew up in the distance. Not a big explosion, but enought to draw attention. Llednar jumped down from atop the pillar and made a mad dash into the ship's cargo bay when the guard turned around. But as he hit the ramp, the guard heard and turned to see.
"Hey! You!"
The guard aimed at Llednar about to fire, when Llednar surprised himself yet again. He held his hand out and the blaster flew out of his hand, and near Llednar's feet. He quickly grabbed the blaster, and shot him square in the chest. The other guard, running back now from the fire, was shot in the head. Both were dead, by a kid who had never fired a blaster before.
The ramp closed, and Llednar back into the ship's hold.
He was shocked and scared. He had never killed anyone before... Never before... Now... Now... he had killed twp people.
He curled in a ball in the corner, not knowing what to think about what just happened...
