Aldera Antilles
Keeper of Antiquities
I have so many questions that I don't know where to start and I feel like a Grade-A noob. 
1. Character development: Aldy has a galactic-wide reputation among the scholarly community. She is a Professor of archaeology, history, and linguistics and is highly sought-after at professional conferences.
On the other hand, she has been gifted (and cursed) with certain unique Force abilities which have helped shape her chosen field.
Which of these should she pursue as time goes on? Do I only contribute to RP threads in which she can hide her Force abilities (which, at present, are hidden from 99 7/8% of the galaxy) or does she take her first step into a larger world and begin training as the lowliest scrub in the Jedi Order?
If the former, then I can simply have her join RP in which non-showy Force abilities can be hidden from the other characters. If the latter, then how would I make the transition (and reveal her secret)? How would I get a Master for her?
On top of everything else, not only is she considerably older than some characters, but she has certain ... quirks ... which would hinder traditional Jedi training. I really cannot see her wielding a lightsaber or using some of the flashier abilities accorded to Jedi. If Battle Meditation exists here, I could see her learning something like that (or having it drawn out from within her).
I am torn between the sayings of two Old Republic Masters on this issue. Odan-Urr (whom Aldy tries to emulate) said, "If a Jedi ignites his lightsaber, he must be ready to take a life. If he is not so prepared, he must keep his weapon at his side”
On the other hand, Master Thon (Nomi Sunrider's Master) said, "A Jedi does not seek out battles, but neither does she turn her back on battle, when it finds her."
If you all think she should follow The Path of The Jedi, then she would be a Consular (without a doubt).
2. SSC: What is Aldy's place at SSC? Is there a place here for someone who does *not* follow The Code of The Jedi? Would she be allowed anywhere near The Silver Temple and the training grounds on Voss?
I'm really not sure how things work within SSC. How do our characters get Jedi Masters and learn Force powers? What do Ranks mean in an RP setting? How much IC/OOC work would be required in order to reflect that she is an excellent scholar?
If SSC is a Jedi-only faction, then where else can Aldy go? If SSC accepts people who will not be learning to be Jedi, then is there a certain branch of SSC that she should join?
I really want to get into the spirit of RP around here, but I feel a bit overwhelmed and unsure of what my role (and Aldy's) is and will be in the future.
Thanks!
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
