Hey Guys, here's a Suggestion(People w/o Bios up)

[Solis Fay'den]

We could REALLY go for some more non-Jedi in this place.

I mean, I know, it's Star Wars, so let's be a Jedi, but I want to stress that we have two character sheets, one for Force users and one for Regular People. And so far, we've got ONE semi-somewhat active non-Jedi on our board.

I think we need more.

Now, some of you may be thinking "But why play a regular shmoe when I can choke people with my mind?" I know, it's a hard question to answer. But look at it this way: Have you noticed that, while the rules and regulations on Force-using characters are SO strict (Limited Force Power gain through RPing, Rank-ups through RPing, and the like), the regulations on non-Force using characters aren't anywhere near that? The switch was designed so that, while Force users get to tap into the awesome power of the Force, Non-Force users wouldn't have to. You have COMPLETE creative control over a Non-Force Character. Wanna make a bounty hunter that's completely loaded to the teeth with weapons that come out of his battle armor? Do it! Want to make an Imperial Remnant General that has an entire contingent of Stormtroopers at his side at damn near all times? Go for it! When you're a Jedi, you're stuck at a Padawan/Acolyte with no real freedom to be how you want and have what you want. As a non-Jedi, those boundaries don't exist.

So before you make your character, think about making a regular guy instead of a Jedi. It's not required in any way, but it would help to round out the variety of the board.


And y'know, just help the process, I'm opening the floor for all my current members. Why did you choose to be a Jedi? Was there something that made being a Non-Jedi unappealing to you, or did you simply want to wield the Force and a 'saber? If you have any suggestions on what YOU would like to see on Non-Force characters to make them more appealing, do not hesitate to reply to this and let me know.

I signed up for non-force character.

My suggestion, is that you allow people to be of any race they want, as long as they can provide sufficient evidence of their extistance in the Star Wars Cannon.

Otherwise, it gets crowded with Humans, and those Darth Maul look-a-likes.

[Isus Jarode]

Ah, and just before you get ahead of yourselves, Gray Jedi do not count as Non-Jedi, and so don't try that crap. -_-

Plus, if you want to be a Force user, go be a depressed Sith or an uppity Jedi. I called the Gray Philosophy, it's mine. Mine I say!

And yes people, your local old Gray Bindo-like Jedi is a Moderator now, so fear me and all that good fun.

[Solis Fay'den]

Thanks for the useless post there, Isus.


And you know, Qymaen, you're right. I've got a deep enough presence of the Star Wars Universe that I feel I can safely pick out who's using an actual race and who's not.

Not to mention I've been given SO many requests to expand the races, it would probably be a good idea. The power of the people is the power by which any community flourishes, after all.

With that said, the playable races section will now be removed. Feel free to make any kind of character to your hearts content.


KNOW HOWEVER, that if you try to make a Jedi character with a non-Jedi-compatible race without a DAMN good argument, you will be denied. Not only do I know many races of the Star Wars universe, I also know which ones are more likely to be Force-Sensitive.

Enjoy your wide range of new races.

Thank you master. -gives vary deep and elegant bow-

[Isus Jarode]

"Grand Master" Solis Fay'den, you know damn well we Gray Jedi are SUPPOSED to blurt out worthless notions.

Bah, I see the lessons of Jolee Bindo and how we're all supposed to hate him has not hit you yet. Oh well, no more worthless posting in this thread from the local old man...

[Qymaen jai Sheelal]

Damn, I should've been one of the Rakatan That'd been AWESOME. I'd've totally recreated the Star Forge XD

[Isus Jarode]

Sorry to burst your bubble there Sheelal (you're official nickname is Grievous from now on...) but the Rakatans became exist shortly after the times of the Jedi Revan. It's all pretty quiet stuff, but from what I've researched on Wookiepedia, the Rakatan race eventually died out from the return of their Plague, or something of that nature.

Either way, I think your race is much more badass than a bunch of arrogant slugs.

[Qymaen jai Sheelal]

Indeed... The Kaleesh are not only honorable, but badass with those Skull masks XD

That, and one of their greatest warriors is a woman (I am a man, yes). Badass civilizations always had a strong woman at their core.

Minus the French, of course.

Wow...I knew I was missing a bookmark somewhere...

Well, actually, I was thinking of making a Non-Jedi in the first place (back when the board was still new and not so much active), but the whole notion of, as Solis said, 'choke people with your mind' was a lot more appealing, so it sorta...slid that way.

Now, since I'm starting to return to RP'ing, I might make a Non-Jedi character (the original I had in mind) in the not-so-close future. But I really need to get to back to Elena and my dead...thread...
