Karren's Lightsaber Workshop #1 (SJO/All Jedi)

[RC 212]

Location: Silver Jedi Campus, Voss, The Great Hall

She was not one to easily teach, but part of her trials demanded just that. As a request from one of the senior Knights in the Silver Circle, she had been tasked out to teach a workshop. The lightsaber, front to back.

She was standing in the Great hall, behind a wooden podium, waiting fro would be students to arrive. though she had constructed her own saber as of late, she had studied throughout the month, immersing herself in the knowledge and lore of the ancient weapon. She was here to teach.

​

Know your lore, her Master had chided her.​

She rolled her eyes and clicked her finers on the wooden podium, admiring the architecture of the place. It was long and rectangular, held up by columns of marble and wood. Vines encrusted those columns and the tables were rough shod and laid out around a long singular hearth that ran down the center.

It burned with Silver flame, lit and fuelled by the force. Not too flashy, but not too modest. Balanced like the Silvers.

She grinned then as younglings filtered in. Now she would have a chance to prove her worth, and possibly make her next step to knighthood.

"Welcome younglings, please take your seats."

"Yes Master Trask."

She chuckled, straightening out her tan cloak over her white and blue pin stripped blouse.

"Please, just call me Miss Trask. I am no Master yet."

 

[Talis Palecrest]

Talis stood near the great hall entrance ushering the Youngling's in with a smile. He was glad Karren Traskhttp://starwarsrp.net/user/15521-karren-trask/ was doing this, this would bring her hopefully to her Knighthood, He looked around for anymore Youngling's that were coming in.

The sound of the door's closing in the hall echoed around.

Talis slowly stood near Karren, He was suppose to be supervising her.

Making she did all the thing's needed to do. He looked at the Youngling's and smiled, Soon they would be all Padawan's, It would be a great site to see.
"Yes Master Trask.


"Please, just call me Miss Trask. I am no Master yet."


Talis slightly chuckled at what he was hearing.

​He did a bow to Karren. He usually bowed to most Jedi as a sign of respect.

He leaned in close to Karren, "If you need any help, I'll be here to help, Do your best." Talis said standing near her.

Karren grinned and bowed back. She also bowed to Jedi, as a sign of respect. though it was more of an old timey tradition from the Original Jedi Order. It was a tradition she wished to instil in the younger Jedi, thus she upheld it herself. It gave her some heart to know that she was not alone in her olden ways.

Talis had helped her along as she'd recent;ly arrived a grown, and for that she was grateful.

"Thank you Knight Palecrest. I hope to do some justice by the Old Masters teachings."

She nodded and glanced around, seeing if any of the older Padawans would show up.

That was one tradition she did not uphold. Jedi must be trained, no matter their age, lest they fall to Darkness....

And that was unacceptable....

"Settle down class. Do we have any more before we begin?"

 

[Talis Palecrest]

Talis saw her bow too, He slightly smiled.

Talis had remembered when he had help Karren grow, It was fun and good times, Currently Talis was trying to get in a master position, He had been training himself mentally for week's and week's.

He released a sigh of relief.



"Thank you Knight Palecrest. I hope to do some justice by the Old Masters teachings."


"No Worries" Talis said with a smile
Talis glanced around, wondering if any other Jedi would show up, they're was at-least about 2-3 more.

A thought came at his mind, Today was about Saber's wasn't it? Hopefully Karren could keep up with all the Youngling's going to make there saber's it was hard.

[Nia Sol]

After helping Grandmaster [member="Arisa Yune"] in the garden Nia made her to the Great Hall to learn the construction of a lightsaber.

"I'm sorry for being late, I got lost." Nia bowed as she took a seat somewhere in the middle.

She nodded to the young woman as she entered. Here was an older one, and that was good.

"Padawan Sol, nice to see you here. What are you hoping to learn today? If you could take one thing away from this, what would it be?"

She cocked her head a bit to observe the shifting younglings in the front ranks.

"We'll wait a few more moments and then begin. Did you all bring your crystals with you? If you didn't there is a spare bin of them over there. file through in an orderly fashion and grab one."

 

[Nia Sol]

"Well...I hope to have a better understanding on how the blade works and how to use it..effectively."

She looked around as the other younglings took their places.

Nia looked somewhat saddened as she brought out a crystal from her pouch. When her master fell in combat, she was able to retrieve the crystal from the damaged saber.
But was it right for her to use it? Nia hadn't been to an official gathering where these younglings have, and she certainly didn't want a spare crystal from the bin.

Nia sighed, the crystal wasn't hers, but she wanted to give it purpose once more.

[member="Karren Trask"]

 

[Talis Palecrest]

A smiled formed upon Talis's face as he watched the Youngling's fumble for there Crystal's one even dropping one, Talis walked over to the dropped Crystal and would hand it to the Youngling, "Be careful Youngling you wouldn't want to lose this" Talis said with a smile.


Talis pulled out his saber inspecting it, His hand would stroke the hilt, Talis sighed.


Talis walked over to [member="Nia Sol "]sensing her discomfort and sadness, He frowned, "Is there anything wrong Padawan Nia? I sense some discomfort you and..sadness." Talis asked a bit concerned for the Padawan.

Talis's eye's would wander to look at the crystal as he waited for a response from the Jedi Padawan.

"Youngling Tyrian be careful with your Crystal you don't want to lose it" Talis yelled softly to one of the Youngling's

"

 

[Nia Sol]

Nia almost jumped not sensing the Zabrak's presence.

"No...I'm ok, just...unsure if I should use this crystal."

[member="Karren Trask"] | [member="Talis Palecrest"]

 

[Talis Palecrest]

No...I'm ok, just...unsure if I should use this crystal."

Talis examined the word's as they were said to him he slowly thought about it. Why wouldn't she use the crystal..

"Can I ask why you cannot use the crystal?" Talis asked wondering why she couldn't use it

[member="Nia Sol"]

 

[Nia Sol]

"It belonged to my master." Nia held onto the crystal in a tight grip.

[member="Talis Palecrest"]

 

[Talis Palecrest]

Talis nodded at the word's not going to drive more into the topic as itself, He began to watch the Youngling's getting ready to build the saber.

[Negative Prime]

Honoko was late.. she always was.
but admittedly she was an unmastered padawan so still a youngling and this was her feild of expertise.
" umm greetings masters. i am honoko and if it is ok can i join this class?, " she asked

Voss, home of the Silver Jedi. Whatever a Silver Jedi was.

Soryn had found it entirely too easy to get onto Voss and even easier to walk right up to the Temple. However showing a great deal of restraint in the matter made no effort to make a fuss about it. Instead he simply wandered the halls peeking into various rooms while listening to bits and pieces of various conversations.

That was of course until he reached the Great Hall and saw a cluster of people holding crystals and discussing their uses in saber construction if he heard correctly. Soryn already had a saber.......it hung from his belt handed down to him from his father when he first began training at the Temple. However it never hurt to listen in and absorb a little bit of what was being said.

Soryn slipped into the room stopping just short of reaching the person at the back of the group. He said not a word not even to announce his presence. He simply watched and listened his hand folded neatly into each other in front of him.

Yuroic carried his crystal with great care, the golden crystal gave him increase confidence and there were fantastic memories entwined with it too. He carried with him the memory of his first love, his first time being one with his emotions. It was something to never forget and he was ecstatic to forge his own lightsaber. He had collected materials from scraps of metal he had found lying around. It was pointed out that there would be supplies given and that using the materials he was would make the hilts look rustic, overused. However, he wanted that style, it was the look of his home, Nar Shaddaa was rustic and unclean. He felt that this would best represent who he was, who he is on the inside. At least for now.

He contacted his master, Arisa Yune, she was now the Grand Master of the Silver Jedi however he knew that today would be a big day for her as it was for him. He nodded his head to the others who were arriving and settling down. Taking a seat away from the others, he glanced around before pulling out his pieces of metal, inspecting each one closely as he pictured the day he found them and what it entailed for him to get them. The large golden crystal was split into two points, one smaller than the other. It was somewhat unusual compared to the other crystals he had seen around and looked into after the gathering. He had been meditating with the crystal for days, he found it somewhat refreshing to be close with the crystal.

"Yes that's good. A great Jedi always seeks out knowledge, and wisdom you will get as well."

She turned her eyes to the class as they settled in and nodded as a voice spoke out.

[member="Honoko"]

"You absolutely may join, have a seat," She replied, waving to an open bench.

The others had filtered in and satisfied she had enough she was ready to begin. She readjusted her cloak and then placed her hands on the podium leaning into it and amplifying her voice across the hall with the force.

"Greetings all. Welcome to my Lightsaber Workshop. This is going to be a quick course with three primary sections. The philosophy of the Lightsaber, Components and their effects and lastly, how to assemble it all."

She paused and then continued.

"Let us begin with philosophy. The Light saber is a Jedi weapon originally descended from the blades that our great forebears the Je'daii carried on Tython. During the early days of the Je'daii they were a seclusive order, but their rangers roved the stars, creating balance where they went. Their primary weapon was their swords, alchemically enhanced to be stronger and sharper than any other weapon of the time."

"Fast forwards a couple of centuries and the Je'daii expanded, settling more worlds and encountering more force users. Hence as the galaxy grew for them, the need for a better weapon came as well. The precursor to the modern Lightsaber as we know it was a Light Shoto, or plasma short sword. These were ungainly weapons, powered by a power pack and cable tethered to the user. Not very good nowadays, but good for that time."

Some of the younglings chuckled.

"Please mind your manners little ones."

"Now we have here the Light saber. Traditionally considered a Jedi's badge of Office and secondary layer of defense and offence against those who would seek to harm or do injustice upon others. It is considered an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. Let's go around the room then and each of you answer these questions for me.

• When should a Jedi draw their lightsaber?
• Why?
• What kind of responsibilities are inherent with a weapon of this power."

She grinned, hopeful for some great debate.

"Afterwards, feel free to discuss and debate amongst yourselves, then I'll give you my answer."

 

[Nia Sol]

"When someone threatens others with a weapon of their own?"

"It is...our sworn duty to protect the innocent."

​"To use it wisely."

Nia had no knowledge of such an ancient weapon, only what she saw from her master.

[member="Karren Trask"]

 

[Negative Prime]

damit. it's philosophy.

" Whe conflict is unavoidable, to prevent further violence and defend those who require it, and for the last one all of the responsibilities. " honoko answered this was basic stuff and she wasn't compleatly putting her mind to it.
so far it was the same philosophy as all mando children learned relating to blasters.
if you drew it in a fight you had to be sure you were going to finish the fight and take responsbility for the fallout.
it was fault. blaster broke it was your fault. if it killed some one it was your fault.

 

[Kenrath]

Soryn remained standing and in the background. He already knew how to create a saber and the last time he was in a philosophical discussion it didn't end very well. So he simply listened with out a word.

He also found the questions to be very leading and one dimensional. It was sad really but an opportunity none the less. When there was a break in speaking Soryn offered up an answer to the questions.

"When the situation calls for it, because the situation called for it, and none what so ever."

Then he slipped back into silence listening to the conversations taking place around him.

Calder was late to this lesson, but it was a lesson that he felt he needed to learn. A life of peace had been ruined by sudden and overwhelming violence, and Calder, a fisherman, had to become a warrior. He had survived the Netherworld, but not whole. Scars, some hidden by his fur and others of the mind. He wanted to be a Jedi, wanted to be a protector of peace. But anger clouded his mind. He had killed, but he did not know if it was right to.

Despite his large form he tried to blend in to the back to avoid disturbing the others. In his hand was the massive Icehammer, the only weapon a being his size could effectively wield. He would never be able to use a lightsaber as the others would, but this wasn't about the weapon. It was about the mindset needed to fight.
