Trial by Combat: A Padawan's Tale OOC

[Felicity Sage]

This is my first thread on this forum and the first starring Felicity in this particular universe. The story revolves around a group of Jedi padawans and their instructor out on a survival training trip in the wilds of Tython. Needless to say the trip goes horribly awry thanks to a fallen Jedi and his group of crazed followers (or possibly a Sith and a small cadre of Imperial soldiers, I dunno) and the young padawans are seriously put to the test after their instructor is killed.

The thread is open to anyone but unfortunately there isn't much room for many different characters. Like I said, it's a group of fifteen padawans and their Jedi instructor so I don't expect to see smugglers or Republic troopers popping out of the trees. If you'd like to play a padawan be my guest but please, no Jedi Knights or Masters. Erisi Airhart (an NPC) is the only experienced Jedi in the group and the only one carrying a lightsaber. The rest of the kids each have their own survival packs and that's it.

Anyway, aside from all that I'm pretty much just making this up as I go along. I've got some idea of where the story is heading but as usual I'm flying by the seat of my pants.

You'll find the IC thread http://starwarsrp.net/topic/3061-public-trial-by-combat-a-padawans-tale/]here[/url].

I have a strange feeling a bounty hunter shouldn't join this for some reason

 

[Felicity Sage]

Oh, one more thing. Please, no signatures in the IC thread. Some of them can be really distracting and big. ><

Maybe if he was working for the other side it could work. It may be awhile before we introduce the bad guys, though.

 

[Vincenzo Palminteri]

Yes, but how do you use fast reply with a sig and be in the IC thread, cause I have no image in my sig yet

 

[Vincenzo Palminteri]

Oh, and btw, this guy is independent until persuaded to join a side with a ton of credits and a single defeat.

 

[Felicity Sage]

Sooo, you have to pay him AND defeat him?

And I'm not sure about that quick reply / signature thing. I'll live if you have a small signature it's just the really big ones with fancy pictures that bother me.

Yeah, he's an Echani Bounty Hunter, the payment comes first, then the defeat, at least that's how I hope it'll go XD

And the fancy pictures are almost everyone that isn't new

It's just my own preference. Personally, I like it when the text from one poster flows right into the text of the next poster and big signatures with lots of pictures are like annoying unnecessary page breaks in a novel. I don't mind if it's in the OOC thread, but it breaks the immersion of the story if people post them IC.

Most people here have one pic per sig

Well sounds like I'm the sith you need.

 

[Vincenzo Palminteri]

Heh... She said A sith, which could mean anyone, so you'll do

 

[Felicity Sage]

Already invited a friend of mine to play the Sith, we'll see if he accepts. Even if he does,though, there's always room for more and you guys can work together.

 

[Vincenzo Palminteri]

Right, if he's a Master, it's more fitting

 

[Felicity Sage]

Well, I'm off for the night. I should warn you all I'm kind of a slow poster so hopefully this doesn't get carried off without me.

 

[Vincenzo Palminteri]

Well, I'm still bored

 

[Darren Onyx]

Well a lot of posts can go on for days without going somewhere. You should see my first post on here lolz. You can find it somewhere. If you wanna read it then it's called "First Lessons on Korriban"

 

[Felicity Sage]

Well, that's good. I've been on forums before where I posted a story then came back to it a couple of days later only to find a gazillion posts and a thread that had wandered so far from the plot that I barely recognized it anymore. ><

Anyway, in case anyone didn't pick up on it from the tone of the thread or my intentions for the plot this story is primarily a character-driven thread. None of these kids have experienced combat yet and they certainly haven't killed anyone or seen someone killed and the first time they do they're bound to have adverse reactions to it. I'm trying really hard to avoid the Tomb Raider anomaly from the reboot where Lara Croft balked at killing a guy for like a minute then immediately afterward slaughtered an entire army without a second thought.

Basically, all that to say that there probably isn't going to be very much action in this thread (hence why there is only one lightsaber ).

 

[Vincenzo Palminteri]

I'm hopin' to get some development done for this guy, cause unlike my 3 other accounts... I have a perfect way of going through this character's life and actions without being OP, not making sense, or just boring

 

[Felicity Sage]

I just had a thought and this won't happen until later but I imagine someone at the Jedi Temple would organize a search and rescue after being out of contact with the padawans for so long. This is how we can get more experienced Jedi involved in the thread, like Felicity's master Max Sage, (or even smugglers and troopers) but that's something I'll work out when the time is right.

And now I really am off for the night, I swear! ><
