[b]General Information[/b]
[i]Name:[/i] Torne Keldrona
[i]Species:[/i] Miraluka
[i]Gender:[/i] Male
[i]Age:[/i] 16
[b]Jedi Information[/b]
[i]Rank:[/i] Padawan
[i]Master:[/i] Thunder End Dragon's character
[i]Preferred Sabre From:[/i] Ataru
[b]Personal Information[/b]
[i]Appearance:[/i] Like all Miraluka, Torne doesn't have any eyes, only eyesockets. While most members of his species carries blindfolds to cover up their grotesque facial feature, Torne prefers to wear a red-glassed visor to cover up his "eyes". He has faintly tanned skin, short, blonde hair and a scar on his chin, which he got during a training sword battle. He specializes in stealth and quick attacks, and thus have to keep himself as small as possible (which he fails at doing, standing at 185 centimeters length) He has a slender and agile body, and doesn't work out so much to keep it as thin and stealthy as possible.
[i]Sabre Appearance:[/i] A red Padawan sabre
[i]Personality: [/i]Torne is a bit of a bully. He's the kind of guy who you would expect to proclaim himself leader, and surprisingly enough he's not bad at doing just that. Many of the other Padawans at the temple wants to be his friend, but there's only a few that he calls friends himself. He knows how to act calm, and while he's really hot-tempered and easily angered he does a great job in hiding it. He likes to teach the younger Padawans some tricks that he have learned to do with the Force, which the other Jedis view as a sign of a good teacher. Truth is, Torne just likes to have followers. There's only one thing that he wants more than to be a leader, and that is to be able to see colors, something that his species is forever cursed to live without. He's an artistic guy, after all, and he has a fondness of creating things. Formations of rocks and stones that Torne have created with the Force are often seen on the temple grounds.

I think the personality got a bit messy, tell me if something needs changing.

[/quote]Oh, [i]interesting[/i]. Yes, this ought to be fun. I'd reduce the age a year or two -- after five years with his master, he probably would have grown out of his bully-like tendencies -- but I'll take it. Accepted.

We start when Hydra, DM, and TED post their apps.

Some other notes on starting:
>If both Hydra and DM are Padawans, I'll give Tesar Shrike, we'll start without 'em, and I'll either find more players or authorize two of the current players to take a Knight as another character.
>If both Hydra and DM are Knights, I'll give one of them Shrike and start the other one unpaired -- a 13-year-old Padwan can join up later.
>If one is a Knight and one is a Padawan, everything works out, I'll pair us off, and we'll get going.
>We won't stop accepting, ever, but I don't think I'll let many people start unpaired -- certainly no Padawans, since they need a Master to do anything. That said, I don't want to restrict the players' creative freedom. Hence, the multiple-character provisions. Besides, it's rare that anyone joins an established roleplay anyway.

Right back at ya.

Two things:
1) Just remembered that DMG and DK also have reservations, so I've decided to change the starting requirement: as soon as two more people are accepted AND everyone is paired off, we start. The others will be allowed to come in from other missions.
2) I made a [s]terrible[/s] spiffy logo and stuck it in my signature. Yay.

Shoto are permissible.
Knights under 29 and non-Guardians can only carry one full lightsabre (however, they may carry a lightsabre and shoto for a sort of dagger-and-rapier style). Master Guardians or Knight Guardians aged 29 or older can use two full lightsabres; their sabre form will be changed to Jar'kai, the art of wielding two sabres at once.
Sabrestaffs and dual-phase sabres are not permissible.
If, for whatever reason, you practice Makashi, you can use either a normal or curved-hilt lightsabre.
I'll add this information to the front page.
EDIT: Information added.

@Axon: Reservation noted. You may have to wait a bit after we start to actually join in, though, depending on how our current reservations pan out.

@PassionPit: GAH
now I have to go change the name in the Characters spoiler >_>
You don't have a Padawan yet. You will before we start, hopefully.

[b]General Information[/b]
[i]Name:[/i] Auros Stellae
[i]Species:[/i] Human (Real original, I know)
[i]Gender:[/i] Male
[i]Age:[/i] 45

[b]Jedi Information[/b]
[i]Rank:[/i] Councilor
[i]Subclass:[/i] Guardian
[i]Padawan[/i]: Torne Keldrona
[i]Preferred Sabre From:[/i] JAR'KAI and Ataru
[b]Personal Information[/b]
[i]Appearance:[/i] Auros is a fine looking man. He possesses a tall, lean figure standing 185 cm and weighing about 68 kg. He has intelligent grey eyes with crowsfeet wrinkles around them prior to his gentle smile. He has long, slender fingers, which when using a lightsaber, can move extraordinarily fast, flicking the saber around. His long legs allow him to easily stride forward, moving faster than most would, without the aid of the force. Majority of the time, Auros wears a white or grey hooded cloak with brown robes underneath. The clock is loosely held, so it is quicker for Auros to jump out of it/ throw it off.
[i]Sabre Appearance:[/i] Auros possesses two lightsabers. He spent much of his time, perfecting his twin blades for maximum performance and to a standard that suited him. Both of them have electrum hilts and a clear translucent ‘window’ in the center which pulses light from the crystal core. They are merely fine accessories to create a more elegant lightsaber. The electrum spirals down the entire hilt, with two rings, one at the start, the other at the end. The ‘window’ is a band in the center of the hilt. Both sabers are golden yellow in colour and are standard blade length. Both sabers are lighter than average. Auros’ lightsabers are his pride and joy.
[i]Personality:[/i] Auros is a friendly and intelligent man who has strong beliefs. He is seen by many, young Jedi and even more experienced Jedi as a wise master and a true friend. He’s confident and does everything at 100%, believing there are no true limits to your ability, if you keep doing your best. As a teacher, Auros is known to be a great man, passing on his knowledge to his apprentices, in which he is currently teaching his 4[sup]th[/sup]. Three of these apprentices grew on to be fine Jedi Knights, except one who mysteriously disappeared, leaving Auros grieving. Obviously, this shows that he is a truly welcoming person, judging someone by their loyalty and by their attitude, rather than their class or rank. He treats his friends as brothers, rather than simply colleagues and this made him very many allies.
Perhaps, at times, Auros’ compassion is his downfall. He cares very much for his friends that he cannot bear to allow those close to him to die. This can lead to him becoming overly depressed and guilty, blaming himself for these deaths. He will often need time to calm himself, and relieve his sorrow.
Even so, Auros is a skilled fighter, famous mentor and great friend. His strong bonds with the force are unquestionable and many would prefer him as an ally, rather than an enemy…
Auros joined the council when his old master Aran Tomo died the high council members observed his etiquette and skills in combat and force and due to the space left by Aran, Auros took his place. He had already taken his first two Jedi Padawans, who were fully knighted. He has taken the position very seriously and aids Jedi whenever possible.
Other: Upon recently overcoming his grief for his lost padawan, Auros has taken up a fourth; Torne Keldrona

Can't accept just yet. Problems:

1) Soresu and Jar'kai have completely different philosophies. Jar'kai is for specialists only; in other words, yes, you will always be using two lightsabres if you're a Jar'kai specialist. Since you are a Councilor, I could let you slide if you specialised in Ataru or Shien on top of Jar'kai, but you can't specialise in defence and then suddenly switch to a highly offencive style with weak defence.
tl;dr: Revise forms pl0x.

2) I'm sure I explained that no one except Tesar can have dual-phase sabres. Yes, I did:[quote name='Supreme Gamesmaster' timestamp='1321732365' post='5653192']Sabrestaffs and dual-phase sabres are not permissible.[/quote]I even put it in Game Info: "No other variant forms you might have heard of (double-bladed sabres, etc) are permissible [except shoto and curved hilts]." So yeah. I'll put that sort of thing in Rules, I guess, but...

And just so you know, I'll clarify the process for selection to the Jedi Council, but I should point out that it isn't based on age so much as Padawan training. "A very young age" would necessarily mean thirty-nine, since that's the youngest possible age to have trained two Padawans for eight years after taking a year off as a solo Knight. That's still very young for a Councilor; it implies that there were no hiccups in training whatsoever for the first two Padawans, and there was a vacancy on the Council at that moment (Master Zavek Naban was also that lucky).
