Looking for Jedi master!

[Shana May]

Please? I've had this character forever and I've never trained her

I'm looking to learn Vaapad or soresu as a lightsaber technique (but since this is my first Jedi im open to learn anything) and I'm not really picky on what type of Force powers that I learn

Shana is a shy type until provoked. Please let me know if you guys are interested!

Nobody? Q_Q

I would outline what you're looking to learn and what you'd like in a Master, so people can get an idea of whether they'd be a good fit for things or not.

Always best to put out there what you are looking for in a Master, because every single writer and importantly character is different I may be able to take on another soon with storylines wrapping up, but it just depends if you think Kei a good fit.

 

[Shana May]

Actually I think you might be a really good fit! Just let me know if you are open to train me!

Sure I am about to head to bed now but if you like and want to put a thread up in the silver jedi's

http://starwarsrp.net/forum/2127-voss-academy/

Academy forum I will have a post up for you tomorrow Else I will start it for you tomorrow when I am back from work.

You'll also get a good example of Kei's style before you commit: Here

He works well with shy characters as his natural reaction is the big brother role and encouraging type.

I'm sorry I took so long. My other profiles are busy and I have a baby but I'll be checking Shana daily thank you! And this is awesome!

[member="Shana May"] Vaapad is absolutely the hardest lightsaber form to learn. Only one Jedi on this board did that, and he was a GrandMaster. It forces folks to channel their own aggression, and to an apprentice would just make you a Sith. Sith with soresu, shien, or ataru right now.

With me, take as long as you like, post when you feel the muse and not before I get busy too, as a self confessed alt-aholic

I had this debate before and it was interesting

Vaapad increases with your knowledge of the other forms, as you know how to counter them. So as you learn them, you learn how to use them in the style against whichever form you are facing, the completing half of their technique.

You might look at it like this, with all the custom made fighting styles on chaos, you'll never stop learning Vaapad on this board, and you'll only be as good as those other forms you know or have faced, but that was my IC first lesson you just took heh.

As for the emotional side of things, yes you are right it'll take effort, but I think as a character Kei is more able to lead an apprentice through that, than say my other characters, because he is stable in who he is.

[member="Kei Amadis"] I go by Matt Stover on this one bud, he's the one who wrote the bible on that with the Windu Novel (Shatterpoint) It was a nono, and the other two Master's who tried to learn Vaapad fell to the darkside. Juyo and Vaapad are the same movement patterns, but the spiritual and mental side of Vaapad(Mace's variation he invented) was simply too hard on most.

Wrote it for years so I know what you are saying. For me it all depends who you are fighting. If you are fighting a lightside user you are not returning much in the way of harder emotions to deal with, if you are fighting say a Sith who is really into emotional manipulation (or just really, really angry) you are going to need to be sure of your own sense of self, who you are as a Jedi and tied to those calmer emotions at your core. And yes my last Vaapad user did indeed fall as a result, because he never had that stabalizing center to himself.

But again this is all Kei's lesson so I'll stop here else i'll be repeating myself!

NB for anyone not following, think of it as being a double agent in a spy movie for a couple of years, living their life, can you still go back to who you were no attachments?

Truly Vaapad is a dangerous style to learn and very dangerous to Shana as while she is the sweetest thing in the galaxy she also has a REALLY bad anger problem but that in itself is why she chose to be a jedi. To calm those emotions and become more serene.
I don't mind using other lightsaber styles like I said because I want Shana to actually have the Jedi treatment and follow what her instructors give her. So whatever you feel works for Shana I will write along with it.

[member="Shana May"] We'll work it out
