The beginnings of others.

[Shaddi]

Galactic location: Jagga II Physical location: a rocky meadow.

He sat silently meditating on a rock he had carved into a throne like seat not half an hour before. He had been called by someone named [member="Warren Century"], a name he wasn't familiar with and so had placed his ship in close proximity with it's cloaking active just in case. Around him strolled three large Tuk'ata, sniffing into the air and growling at critters that came too close out of curiosity.
"Whoever this Warren is..." He began but stopped as he expended his annoyance, it was relaxing just to get such a day off to begin with so he decided to enjoy it. With a hand raise he brought a small rock to him to serve as a foot rest and then slumped into the seat he had made, it was oddly comfortable even though it was a rock.

 

[Warren Century]

Learning how to use the Force was essential. Given how many Sith and Jedi there were in the galaxy, Warren didn't want to be irrelevant any longer. So it seemed he'd have to learn how to use the Force in order to be effective in any form of combat. Learning how to use a lightsaber was also in order for him. Coming out of the ship he had nearby which wasn't cloaked, a Frigate he had rented for a couple of days Warren approached the individual in the rocky meadows, and said to him.

"So you're willing to teach me the Force, including the Elemental powers of the shapers?"

 

[Shaddi]

The Tuk'ata around Erebos growled at [member="Warren Century"] when he approached and Erebos raised his head a little to look at him. "What do you know in the way's of the force." He said as he got up from the seat he had carved. "The secrets of the shapers is something I won't teach you unless you have some handle on the force to begin with but that can come with training." He said as he took a few steps towards the newcomer.

 

[Warren Century]

"Very little unfortunately. I don't know much about the Force, and can't use it like I know I'll need to. I thought if I were mentored, I could learn how to use the Force probably. "

Warren paused for a moment, and said.

"I'm better at science and technology. But it's come to my attention I must learn how to use the Force and learn at least some lightsaber styles. Do you have any you'd recommend for a beginner?"

Warren sighed. The Force was something he had little to no knowledge of. It was something he needed to actually learn, and learn to control properly. Lightsaber combat was also a skill set that he needed to learn.

 

[Shaddi]

Erebos felt a little like sighing but kept it in. "Tell me what do you know?" He then said before letting out a dual click of the tongue and his Tuk'ata raced off into the meadow having been given leave to play and hunt to their hearts content. This one might be a challenge to teach was something that came to his mind but then again he liked challenges.
'Science and technology hm? could prove quite useful for him to owe me one or several favors..' He thought as he was still in a little CEO mode after coming from a meeting from his company.

[member="Warren Century"]

 

[Warren Century]

"I do know the Force must be some sort of energy field that the Jedi, and Sith manipulate due to the midichlorians within their blood. Other than that, my knowledge is limited. Is my theorem about the Force correct?"

Warren nodded after he finished, to signal he had told all he had known.

"There is all I know about the Force in a nutshell. I also have no skill with a lightsaber, a problem that will need to be addressed. Especially given how many Sith and Jedi, and neutrals are there. I've got no Force Powers, and I will need them before I get my hands on a couple of lightsabers."

 

[Shaddi]

Erebos would laugh at the waste if he wasn't about to teach [member="Warren Century"] a thing or two about the force. "In a nutshell if you take the mysticism away then your theory is correct." He acknowledged before he pointed at a small pebble away from Warren on top of a larger rock. "Reach out with your mind and raise that pebble." He then said as he moved to stand a step closer now.

 

[Warren Century]

Warren nodded and didn't even hold out his hand towards the pebble. Seconds later the pebble lifted to eye level before he started to mentally spin the pebble, causing the same to happen in real life. It seemed Warren was a natural when it came to the Force to a degree anyway. Suddenly the pebble when it had started spinning at about 25 MPH would shoot off, and like a projectile head in the direction of his instructor. For Warren would need training on how to control the Force properly and wield it so that he could succeed at his eventual goals.

"So how am I doing so far teacher?"

Warren was determined he was going to master the Force. Mastering the Force was one of the things he needed to do in order to evolve his skill set so he could handle his own problems. Being properly equipped was a definite good thing, especially with what he needed to learn and do properly. A light saber or better yet two modified to combine with blasters might be an acceptable weapon.

 

[Shaddi]

Erebos didn't seem to flinch as he stopped the pebble before it struck his face, he hadn't moved at all as he slowly moved his hand up to grab it as if picking a flower off a bush. "Adequate... for now." He said his tone almost annoyed at what [member="Warren Century"] had done, as he threw the pebble to the side lazily. "Finite control of the force is something that will take practice and as such I want you to now take that large rock over there and place it on top of the large rock over there, Also use your hands when you are directing them as mentally directing telekinesis is had unless you are proficient with it then you can practice that with more fine control."

 

[Warren Century]

Nodding, Warren concentrated. The Force required the usage of one's limbs in order to properly control the telekinetic power of the individual. This was an aspect of the Force he hadn't known about before. Doing exactly as instructed, Warren extended an arm. The Force was but a tool he could use, and use it he did. Lifting the boulder mentioned, he stacked it atop the one he was instructed to do. But should his instructor be able to sense such things, a couple of guns at his waist had lightsaber crystals inside of them. This was a piece of technology that Warren had personally invented for his own use and then sold the designs of.

"There."

 

[Shaddi]

Erebos raised one hand once [member="Warren Century"] had placed the rock where he had directed him to and used the force to bring one of the pistols to his hand. "Keep the rock stable and then place another on top of it.... Don't lose focus." He said as he looked the pistol over, now this was a curiosity for him. "Why do you have lightsaber crystals inside your blasters?"

 

[Warren Century]

Concentrating, and doing as instructed Warren said.

"The colors Green, and Red are often overused in blaster colors. Given there were not many other ways to possess a unique color set without resorting to extensive blaster modification, I studied how best to change the colors so my blasters could be unique. When I learned that Lightsaber Crystals were durable enough, and could in fact change the color of Blaster bolts, I decided that I would employ a couple of lightsaber crystals. "

Warren then nodded, before stacking another rock atop the one he'd just stacked.

"Thus the use of a silver crystal found on Tatooine in one of the blasters. The other one has an artificial red crystal I bought. Not planning on putting either of them in a lightsaber, because they're more useful to me inside the blasters where they actually change the colors. Eventually though I plan on building a rifle, and a Carbine that also emply a similar means of changing their colors from the Traditional."

 

[Shaddi]

Erebos felt that what [member="Warren Century"]'s intention with such crystals was a waste but didn't say anything and instead just moved the blaster back to it's original place. "If you master a lightsaber a single blaster will be all you need." He then said as he looked towards the rocks, It was a little disconcerting that Warren was able to use the force like he did if he had no prior training in it, for Erebos it had taken him a month to just lift a small pebble when he was a child and training with his father.

 

[Warren Century]

Sweat dripped down his body as his nose started to bleed. Because he was determined to use the Force and wield all the power it possessed, Warren had been forcing his body to tap into the energies of the Force and channel it before he was truly ready to do so honestly.

Weak.

Pathetic.

Helpless.

Those words went through the mind of Warren. They were something he couldn't allow himself to be. Especially if he was to face off against any Force Users in the near future. Becoming stronger was the only way he'd actually survive. His eye brows furrowed as Warren concentrated.

"So what do I do now teacher?"

His science ultimately was useless without hard to come by materials that were too expensive to buy normally. It was a problem he'd need to address soon.

 

[Shaddi]

"You rest." Erebos said as he noticed the state of [member="Warren Century"]'s body at the prolonged strain of using the force at a higher level than he should be comfortably able to. "The force is just as taxing on your mind as it is on your body so you could think of it as an invisible muscle. With use and practice it will grow stronger as will your connection to it but if you use it at too much of a strain for too long just like any muscle it can snap and believe me you don't want that kind of backlash." He said as he waved his hand and took the stones Warren had piled atop one another and placed them in a straight line. "Sit down." He then said as he pointed at a rock near Warren. 'This boy will need a more in depth lesson it seems.' He thought as he sat opposite Warren.

 

[Warren Century]

Warren nodded, and took a seat on the offered rock. Honestly he could use a few moments to catch his breath. The Force was something he could use, so at least he knew that much now. "So was my lifting the rocks good enough? Also, do you have any suggestions on what light-saber style would fit me?" Warren had many questions and little actual knowledge of his own in the Force and Lightsaber areas because he didn't know much about them.

"Are there any potential ways I could magnify my own capabilities with the Force, amplify them to where I could rip spaceships out of orbit, like I read was once done in a historical archive?"

In short, Warren wanted to ensure that Force Users couldn't simply crush him as easily as they could those who couldn't protect themselves. As the Force was akin to a muscle, Warren planned on learning how to use it and doing so quickly so that he'd have time for his plans.

 

[Shaddi]

"Shii-cho would be the ideal first form to learn as it is meant to be exactly that." He responded before he thought a little. "Your lifting of rocks was good." 'Almost exceptional' He finished in his mind. "There are numerous ways such as alchemical amulets and force artifacts but what I would recommend most would simply be practice." He then responded to the second question, he had heard of such feats but he didn't believe they were possible by modern force users's standards.

 

[Warren Century]

Warren nodded.

"Before we begin, I shall require a proper lightsaber or training saber then. After that, I'll definitely need to learn Shii-Cho in order to be prepared. There are after all multiple sith and Jedi and Grays as well as neutral FUs plus AFU factions out there who would probably just try to kill a rookie Force User. I will also start practicing every day to learn control of my Force Powers."

Warren knew he had a lot more to learn about the Force.

"Later once I've gotten a good grip on the Force I will see about hunting down some of these alchemical or force enhanced pieces of jewelry in order to add their power to my own. Between that and my science, I shouldn't have anything to worry about from Sith, Jedi, or Dark or Gray Jedi. "

As he sat down and rested, some of the local wild life came out of the Forest nearest them. To be exact there were about twenty four wolves in the area, all intent on having Sith and Apprentice for supper.

"We may need some help.."

 

[Shaddi]

Seeing [member="Warren Century"]'s comment he smirked a little under his mask as his Tuk'ata came running in behind them. "If you are as good with those blasters as you seem to think you are we won't need help." He said as he pointed his hand forwards and under one of the wolfs, red force lightning erupted from the ground underneath and fried it alive in a shriek of a whimpering howl.
Then he took out his gross-guard lightsaber and ignited the red hued black cored blade and took a shii-cho stance with the blade pointed down in front of him.

 

[Warren Century]

As he watched some of the wolves get destroyed by the lightning, one of them lunged at Warren. It quickly learned the error of it's ways in a lethal method by getting blasted with both blasters directly in the face. So now he had 69 shots in each blaster before he'd have to change the crystal. Turning on each of the wolves, Warren unleashed salvos of blaster bolts colored silver and crimson from the blasters. Once he was sure all the creatures were dead, Warren sighed. Soon he'd have to change out the crystals once more it seemed. The blaster bolts had all been set to kill rather than to stun the wolves.

"Well, this was interesting."
