OOC Information:
NOTE: The Quotes from The Guardian are only little samples of what it might say when exploring these topics
The contents of The Holocron are divided into the following Categories:
LIGHTSABER/SWORDFIGHTING/WHIPFIGHTING HISTORY/CONSTRUCTION
"The Lightsaber, Whip, and Sword have taken many forms. Many are the ways they can manifest. It is an extension of the wielder themselves..."
This section deals with the methods of constructing all lightsabers and their variants, including exhaustive, in depth lessons of Power Cells, Emitters, Lenses, and Construction materials, as well as methods for construction of one quickly in an emergency. Even Retro-Sabers are covered. One of the few sections where The Gatekeeper will constantly toy with prospective users on answers. Also contains similar detail and keen insight into Sword and Whipfighting, with similar insight into construction and relevant upgrades
LIGHTSABER VARIANTS
"The Lightsaber is the Soul. Study the Soul to know the Lightsaber. Evil Mind? Evil Lightsaber."
This section deals with each Lightsaber Variant, and how it is used, and what is Weaknesses are in relation to every style each variant can be paired with and as exhaustively in depth as the first section. The Gate Keeper may readily answer questions in this section, but may toy with the user
Retro sabers: "Sometimes you just need to off a dude old school..."
Standard Lightsaber: "Ahhhh, Vanilla..."
Double Bladed Lightsaber: "The ol' Hand Turbine..."
Jar Kai: Give somebody a Lightsaber and they think they're Obi-Wan. Give 'em Two and they think they are Asajj..."
Light Whip: "How to kill with Plasma Noodles..."
Cane Lightsaber: "You'll be a wandering blind badass in no time..."
Long Handle Lightsabers: "Remember, in confined areas, it's never the Long Handle that's wrong. It's you."
Lightsaber Spears: "How to be a toothpick killer in 007 easy steps..."
Gauntlet Lightsabers: "Fun in a pinch..."
Shoto Lightsabers: "All they would need is a knuckle duster..."
Guard Tonfas: "Be ready to piss enemies off with the high defenses these weapons can provide..."
Crossguard Lightsabers: "*I SWEAR BY THESE
...*"
Light foil: "Death by needles..."
LIGHTSABER FIGHTING STYLES
This section covers the secrets of all 007 recognized styles, as well as the styles of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum. The Guardian Toys with any Light Side User that would attempt in depth exploration of all it's Lightsaber knowledge.
Form 1: "Those who do not master the very base of all Lightsaber fighting will never truly master the others..."
Form 2: "The Way of the Fencer. Upon mastering the base of Lightsaber Fighting. One must learn to fight at its apex method..."
Form 3: "Sometimes, as Kenobi proved, it's best to wait it out..."
Form 4: Leapfrog an enemy to death..."
Form 5: "Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their spouses..."
Form 5/Djem So: "Vader's Style. A Supreme Art, wielded at its peak by an admittedly abysmal monster."
Form 5/Reverse Shien: "Marek every bastard who crosses you..."
Form 6: "Worth learning just to encorporate Force Attacks into your fighting."
Form 007: "Chaotic, difficult to master, and no defense except offense. Impractical in most situations..."
Fast Style: "Hey, you got your Soresu in my Ataru!"
Medium Style: "A Fan-Fic version of Form 1 and 6. Good base to craft a custom style..."
Strong Style: "All the best bits of Djem So with the serial numbers filed off and replaced with Form 007..."
SWORD VARIANTS
Single Bladed: "Can't go wrong with the Old Fashioned. The single blade is from where all Lightsaber Combat is descended..."
Single Bladed/Single Edge: "No ambiguity as to attack pattern, but damned if it isn't focused...*" (Applies to Katana-Type Weapons)
Single Bladed/Double Edged: "A Knightly Approach carries great honor..."
Foil: "Enough talk! Have at you!"
Dagger: "I can't tell you how many times my life was saved having one of these..."
Double Bladed: "Twice the fun, double the gore..."
Double Bladed/Single Edged: "Constantly keep track of your weapon orientation to get the most use out of such a weapons... don't wanna hit with a flat side of the blade..."
Double Bladed/Double Edged: "All hail the Turbine in our midst!"
Two Bladed: "Great for offense, but best utilized after learning everything you can about the single blade. Faster attacks too..."
Two Bladed/Sword and Dagger: "Slightly better defense for this type of style..."
LIGHTSABER CRYSTAL VARIETIES/SYNTHESIS
"A Lightsaber is only as quality as the crystal that powers it..."
This is probably the one section the Holocron is least guarded in, and is highly likely to give in depth analysis on their strengths and weakness, with extremely detailed instructions on how to synthesize and add the effects you desire.
LIGHTSABER RESISTANT MATERIALS
"Without these, my career would have had WAY more injuries..."
Another high security section, as this details how to fabricate Lightsaber Resistant Materials
The Guardian will troll relentlessly.
HAND TO HAND
"Only a fool trusts their life to a weapon..."
Details what Xiphos knows of Hand to hand combat. The Guardian might choose to give a straight answer, it might not.
RANGED WEAPONRY
"There is no excuse not to know how to shoot..."
Gives a straight answer on basics but may obfuscate on Anti Jedi Weapons
THE FORCE/
LIGHT SIDE SITH PHILOSOPHY/APPLICATION
"The Force is a powerful tool to bring order. Listen not to the Jedi talk of respecting it...it has never returned that respect when it would have truly made a difference..."
This section deals with Xiphos's beliefs in the Force, her views of how a Light Side Sith should be, and the use of how a Light Sith manipulates the Light and what powers these grant.
DROID CONSTRUCTION
"Oh. I know about how to make a Droid..."
This section deals with all of Xiphos's Droid Designs, including super advanced Nanite based droids. The Guardian will completely obfuscate unless the user has sworn themselves to the way of the Light Sith...
WARSHIP PILOTING/STARFIGHTER PILOTING
"How to make things go boom in space..."
This section details all the Xiphos knows of personal starship piloting and advanced ship designs. Another section totally obfuscated unless the user has sworn themselves to the Light Sith
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Holocron of the Heretical Darth Xiphos, this repository of knowledge contains vast, shocking details of Lightsaber technique that betrays it's creator's status as a true Grandmaster of the art, along with a myriad of other combat related knowledge. Nearly all of her knowledge has been painstakingly copied onto it, and is meant to be laid to rest in a hidden location of her choosing...
- Intent: To craft a Holocron that preserves The Combat Techniques of Darth Xiphos
- Image Credit: https://www.deviantart.com/crias/art/Jedi-Holocron-3d-model-357769948
- Canon: No
- Permissions: N/A
- Links: N/A
- Holocron Name: Holocron of Blades
- Alignment: Light Side, but twisted to Sith ends
- Origin: [ Who created it? Was it made by the Sith? The Jedi? Maybe some other sort of force discipline like the Matukai or the Wardens of the Sky? Link to any relevant characters, faction pages, canon wikia or codex submission if applicable. ]
- Affiliation:
Laertia Io
- Gatekeeper: The Gate Keeper is a copy of Darth Xiphos's Personality, and is highly interactive with whoever it seems worthy of use, generating a full size image of Xiphos in her Black Armor, though it switches between this guise and her "Biker Chick" pre Sith Appearance. It has no designs on seizing control of a body (Though it is powerful enough to be more than capable of it) and if presented with a genuine opportunity to do so, would almost certainly pass on the chance. It's interest is purely in teaching the ways of a Light Side Sith Marauder to those who truly wish it, And even goes out of it way to warn of the potentially deadly consequences for pursuing this path
- Description: Designed to preserve every scrap of combat and Force Knowledge Xiphos has. None of it has any knowledge on how to access The Dark Side, and in fact a fair amount of its knowledge is dedicated to defending against it as well as keeping tight emotional and self control. But it is a Warrior's Holocron without a doubt, and betrays a savant like understanding of Lightsaber Combat, Knife, Combat, Sword Combat, and Ranged Combat with Heavy weapons, along with extensive advice for commanding small armies
- Accessibility: To access it, you must prove you must simply approach and touch it, However, it will immediately discern who is true or false in becoming a Light Sith, and will refuse accordingly. However, exceptions might be made for Jedi who need to defeat a power Dark Sider. Any Jedi who accesses it in general will be toyed with, given only indirect answers to the knowledge it possesses (Though it may give an occasional straight answer to Jedi in a fit of pique) Willing converts however, Jedi or Sith, are spoken to in a much more direct manner
- Security: An aura surrounds it. Not corruptive like most Sith Holocrons...it does not tempt with power or drive mad. It instead makes Jedi much more susceptible to questioning the wisdom of Jedi/Sith authority. While they will never be in danger of falling to darkness, they may become more maverick, more willing to disobey, Though someone especially stubborn can resist this effect. If threatened with destruction, it generates a powerful Light Side wave of energy in a radius all around it, capable of killing Dark Adepts, and cutting off a Jedi's access to the Force for months. Has also been Alchemized to be nearly indestructible...it cannot be destroyed or altered by the Light Side, due to using a twisted around for, and Cannot be destroyed by Lightsabers or Force Lightning...only pure applications of the Darkness itself can damage it.
