How to use this forum

[Ashin Varanin]

The Jedi have been divided for years, and that will probably never change. At any given time, you can find Jedi serving half a dozen factions both major and minor. Use this forum to promote the Jedi orders/groups/teams/brotherhoods you follow and respect - and to share information on potential missions.

Ways to use this forum:

• Link to existing faction ads.
• Post any kind of advertisement and discussion material you see fit. Do you answer to a specific council or Grandmaster or government? Tell us about it - and tell us why it works for you!
• Post links to faction/public threads where a Jedi presence could be needed.
• Post static missions for others to complete, maybe with some kind of reward attached.

To avoid flooding JAN with my many illegitimate younglings, I'll respond for all my characters.

Jedi: [member="Sor-Jan Xantha"]
Faction: The Mara-Perlemian Trade Council
Order Name: The Trade Council Order | Faction Ad
Hierarchy: Jedi Council, led by a Master of the Order
Rationale: A Jedi Order that operates independent of government and away from galactic politics, with a "serve and protect" mandate that makes them more akin to the Wardens of the Sky than the traditional Jedi of old. As a business Jedi who is constantly traveling around the galaxy, that vibe suits Sor-Jan just fine. The Trade Council Order derives most of its thematic elements from the Old Republic (pre-Phantom Menace) Jedi Order... which also fits, because Sor-Jan accidentally time traveled to 844 ABY from the Old Republic era. Easy for him to mesh with the themes at play here.


Jedi: [member="Kiriko"]
Faction: The Silver Jedi Order | Faction Ad
Hierarchy: Jedi Council, led by a Grandmaster
Rationale: The Silver Jedi are both a Jedi Order and a Major Faction, participating in direct government with the planets under their influence. Kiriko was a Beorni from the Silver Jedi world of Midvinter, who grew up to be a Jedi Consular. The traditional militant attitude of the Silver Jedi served as a good foil for Kiriko's pacifist outlook and non-aggressive demeanor.

Chaos' SJO is adapted from the Silver Jedi of the Expanded Universe and takes a "middle of the road" approach to the Jedi. It borrows some elements from the prequels and also from the New Jedi Order of the EU. It incorporates the Antarian Rangers into itself, so there are also NFUs who make up the Silver Jedi's ranks, which makes for an interesting partnership and story dynamic.


Jedi: [member="Shoma Ike"]
Faction: The Galactic Alliance | Faction Ad
Order Name: The New Jedi Order
Hierarchy: Led by Jedi Marshals
Rationale: What happens with a democratic/Light faction gains control of a historically Imperial/Dark planet? That's the dynamic that I explore here. Shoma's father and brother were both Imperial Inquisitors, from a long line of Imperial supporters dating back as far as 3,000 BBY. Shoma's trying to figure out who he's supposed to be, how he's supposed to lead a democratic Atrisia, and then survive the many evils (First Order, Galactic Empire, etc) that are no different than the Atrisian Empire was just a decade earlier.

The NJO borrows many of its themes from Luke's New Jedi Order of the Expanded Universe. It's a fantastic playground for writing any kind of Jedi (traditional or not). From fighter pilot Jedi to librarian Jedi, you'll find them in the NJO. And for those who like PVP, there's no shortage of invasions. As the NJO form the third part of the GA's Triumverate, Jedi characters here also participate in the military and other governmental functions.


I haven't found a place for Zak yet. So hopefully we get some good adverts here for some story stuff I haven't seen before!

 

[Matsu Ike]

Jedi: Matsu Ike
Faction: The Order of the Silver Jedi
Order Name: Silver Jedi/Faction Ad
Hierarchy: Jedi Council, led by a Grandmaster
Rationale: Matsu despite everything is and will always be a jedi, she isn't one to shy away from admitting her faults but she also tries to make everything a chance to learn believing in the core of the silver jedi philosophy about knowledge and understanding. She is also the closest to what the silver jedi originaly did which was experiment with ways to enhance a jedi's connection to the force.

Jedi: Elizabeth
Faction: Altisian Jedi
Order Name: Children of the Jedi
Hierarchy: Led by an Elder
Rationale: Elizabeth was born within the Altisian Jedi, one of the children of a family they managed to hide throughout the galaxy and raise. The order itself is low key, staying in seclusion and mostly a mixture of the two forms it had. When it appeared first described as an order of jedi who preferred to have families and children. Believeing the force was life and so they made life and the retconned by Karen Traviss order that partially appealed more because well Karen traviss kind of made the jedi order look pathetic and anything was a better alternative to them in her books.

Jedi: Lorna Halcyon
Faction: Green Jedi
Order Name: Green Jedi
Hierarchy: Not really there
Rationale: Lorna for the most part is Corellian and with that comes a history of bein =g stubborn and going against the odds. She is a green jedi by mostly family ties and wears a cloak with her families jedi credit.
