1) Change from 10 to 3-5. Anikin was 9 and he was only trained by oen guy even though the Council did not want it. (They also sensed evil, but he was old for training)

2) If you broke from the order, you are not with us. We are the 'good guys' as by votes, so if you have Jedi powers you are in the order.

3) Powers, Weapons, Skills?

Krylo 02-15-2004 07:09 PM

Cat Dudes were Bothan... and they were mostly spies, so the subterfuge thing in battles = Good.

Edit: I also agree with IHMN on the rest of it though.

lazy man 02-15-2004 07:29 PM

Since I can, I guess I'll put up my character

Name: Jack
Age 24
Sex: male
Race: Human
Weapons: dual lightsabers: one blue, one green
Bio: Jack has been in the Jedi order so long that he couldn't even remember his real name, just his nickname, which is what everyone calls him. After passing the test to become a Jedi, he developed a love for machinery and became a pretty good pilot. He's improved over the years and became one of the Order's best pilots, being able to pilot almost any thing that he can get his hands on.

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 07:31 PM

They call people by name in the Order... Your guy must have a horrible memory if he can't even remember his name...

Stover 02-15-2004 07:31 PM

Name: Jason Bourne (Look, I don't have a really great stock of names, ok?)
Age: 29
Race: Human
Weapons: Heavy Blaster pistol (modified: flashlight, laser-sight, retractable 4x scope),
Heavy Blaster Rifle (modified: flashlight, laser-sight, adjustable 2x-75x scope, increased firepower, faster firing rate),
1 thermal detonator (just incase ;)),
3 frag gernades,
3 ion gernades,
Equipment: Glasses (built-in 2x-8x binoculars, sunglasses. See bio),
Com-link/mic attached to glasses,
Light enviro armor (sacrifices some protective power in order to keep body at the right temperature)
Collapseable hover-bike (Max speed on level ground is going to be about 130 kph, collapses to the size of a small backpack, think the hoverbike from Tribes 2, except smaller)

Bio: Jason has been in the armed services ever since he was drafted into his planet's defence at the age of 14. After he left the army at age 18, he became a mercenary, and was continuosly employed in fighting pirates and bandits in the outer rim. During this time, he was captured by a group of angry pirates, who proceded to remove his eyes and optic nerve. Before they killed Jason, he was rescued by another mercenary company, who took him to a hospital, where he recieved mechanical eyes. The reason he wears glasses the mechanical eyes were improperly installed. After this breif interlude, Jason went back to fighting pirates and bandits.

(Remeber, kick me if I did something wrong)

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 07:33 PM

Ok I'm throughly confused by what's wrong with my character. And I'm thinking like going the Han Solo version of a Jedi. He was good then to pay off his debts he turned into a crook. Now he's going to join back up with you guys being the rogue. I just don't want to be constrained by the rules of morality.

I'm also wondering where you're seeing 10?

Krylo 02-15-2004 07:33 PM

Meh... everyone's picking human... and I hate all the other races... at least for my two character concepts. I like Chiss... but a chiss wouldn't be 'nerdy' and wouldn't be as uncouth as I want my gunslinger to be either. Twi'leks are sleazy, and rarely do any of those two things... falleen, again, can't be nerdy, and rarely (if ever) engage in combat... I just don't like wookiees.

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 07:34 PM

No mini gernade launcher attached to another weapon.

Edit - I am not a Star Wars person. I picked the race I know about.

Edit 2 - Rhuhael, tough. No Jedi in the Order would work with a renegade Jedi. If you want to be a Jedi, you need to be in the Order and listen to the rules. You don't have to listen to them very well (Like I am going to), but you have to listen to them.

Stover 02-15-2004 07:35 PM

Even if its smaller than a Pringles can and can barely shoot farther than one can throw?

CelesJessa 02-15-2004 07:36 PM

I'll have my bio for my character up sooner or later. When are you hoping to start this so I know if I should hurry up. (It takes me awhile to decide on force powers and also I'm currently distracted with "the scarlet letter" >_< blah)

lazy man 02-15-2004 07:36 PM

Yes he has a horrible memory and about picking a human, I have no sense of creativity(that would be for the name too) and there's so many that I'm just REALLY confused.

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 07:37 PM

Be a Defel, They're like totally invisible and they're short and hairy, uncouth and wear visors b/c their planet is incredibly dark. fits your bill eh?

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 07:40 PM

Stover... I do not like random things added in for no reason even when not having them is better. If you can throw a grenade just as good, why weigh down your rifle and ruin your shots?

Krylo 02-15-2004 07:41 PM

Ahh, yah, I forgot to add Defel. They aren't invisible, per SAY, but their bodies don't reflect any light in the visible spectrum... thus they see, and only reflect, light of... I believe it was ultraviolet? Or was it infrared? Well, one or the other... and they can only be seen under black lights or with a special visor.

Also... Rodian would be good for someone that wants a violent little cur.

Stover 02-15-2004 07:41 PM

Thwarted by logic once again...

...damn you logic!

Forever Zero 02-15-2004 07:42 PM

I alreay said I'm going Chiss, so there will be at least one alien (Man, this is beginning to remind me of BM's RP.) I'm busy, but once I find it and fix it up according to the current rules, I'll post.

Biran 02-15-2004 07:43 PM

I'll just repost my bio to nake sure it doesn't get lost.

Name: Calvin C. Charles
Age: 27
Race: Ewok
Jedi?: Yes
Appearance: About 2 feet tall, he wears crudely sewn clothing and is covered in light brown fur. His eyes are are hazel and he has a black nose. He looks like a teddy bear.
Weapons: He prefers to use slings and spears but he will pick up a light saber if he ever needs to.
Bio: Calvin was a young child when he first heard of the Jedis. One day a ship landed on his planet asking for recruitment. He was young, but old enough to know he wanted to be a Jedi. He quietly crawled inside their ship before they left again. After they landed, the people inside noticed that he was too young to stay, but he refused to leave. Reluctantly they let him stay and raised him as a Jedi.

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 07:45 PM

Ya know what? I'm gonna take Defel. Forget the cat guy. I'm going stumpy, cute, fuzzy, and almost nonexistent.

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 07:57 PM

Rhuhael - What is a Skothli? And if it is a gun, you need to get rid of two guns on your guy. If not, you need to get rid of one. And you still need to get rid of leaving the Order.

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 08:01 PM

*sigh*
The Skothli spray stick is a delay tactic gun that shoots sticky ionized webs that stop people from moving. they're resistant to blaster fire and even lightsabers.
And I'm gonna kinda be an "outpatient jedi" if anything. I'm with you guys but I don't live there. Sort of an informant. B/c I built this guy on the proposition that he really was kind of a honor-bereft person. Besides that would mesh perfectly with my being a Defel.

I changed the leaving thing and I gave up the disruptor (it was overpowered anyway) and the thermal detonators.

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 08:11 PM

Attached a thing of all the characters to first post. Made one change myself to one character (Stover's guy, his collapsable hover bike. It doesn't collapse anymore)

And ultimately, a non Jedi will be a little better then a Jedi in Skills if they are the same level.

Forever Zero 02-15-2004 08:24 PM

Alright, finally got it all together.

Name: Zeth Durahan
Race: Chiss
Age: 22
LightSaber Type: Dual lightsabers, both with light blue blades
Other weapons: None
Bio: Rased in Chiss society, he showed a stunning capability for tactics at a very early age, and was skilled in a short time in anything he was put too. Soon it was realized that his incredible powers came from his innate force skills. In secret, he was smuggled to the Jedi Acadamy so he could be taught by the best, even though it was against the Chiss' normal policy of dealing with outsiders. After recieving his training, he decided instead of returning, he would use his powers to help the "outsiders" most of his race hated.

Force Powers: (30 points, all used)
Sense - 2
Control - 5
Speed - 3
Strength - 3
Mind Control - 3
Force Immunity - 5
Seeing - 3
Jump - 3
Choke - 3

Weapons: (Modified 14 points, 2 from skills, all used)
Lightsaber: 5 (Specialty in Dual Lightsaber fighting and Single Lightsaber fighting)
Laser Deflect: 5
Space Vehicles: 4

Skills: (12-8=4 which become 2 bonus points for weapons)
Awareness: 2
Stealth: 2
Space Vehicles: 4

lazy man 02-15-2004 08:27 PM

I've got a question, if your guy's in a one-person ship and he doesn't have any points in the weapons for that kind of ship, can he still shoot with it?

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 08:29 PM

If you mean you have a 5 if Space Vehicles, but no points in Space Fighter Vehicles, then no, you can't shoot. You just don't know how/how to properly.

And no more Jedi's.

Stover 02-15-2004 08:34 PM

Its shoot, damnit!

Well, it's back to the drawing board for me.... now what kind of character should I be now that my dreams of being a Jedi have been crushed. ^_^; heheh.

Can I be the pilot of the Suncrusher? (hehe. I'm just kidding really.)

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 08:58 PM

You can be a Jedi if you want. After her though, no more Jedi's.

(Who cares if you do somewhat bad in English. You can speak the language, read, and write, the class is worthless now)

Forever Zero 02-15-2004 09:07 PM

Hey, don't knock English, where else will learn about all those dusty old classics that are dull enough to kill an elephant, but that your English teacher assures you will have some sort of effect on your life?

Actually, I have a pretty cool English teacher, so we don't end up reading many classics, although Tess is a non-classic that nearly killed me when we had to read it, so really there is no way to win in and English class...

Oh yeah, well if you get the Suncrusher, I want a Yuuzhan Vong worldship! Then it could just open up a black hole and suck in the Suncrusher, muahahaha!

(Oh, and in all honesty, colleges care if you are good at English. It doesn't seem logical, but they do, so I learned to suck it up and do adequate in my classes regardless of how little I care about imagery in Alias Grace...)

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 09:10 PM

I mentioned this before, and I shall mention this again. krylo and (now) Forever have story making/changing power. 1) Because I am lazy, and if I start to get lazy they will continue and no one will realize it. 2) They are smart. 3) They know about Star Wars more then I do. 4) I want a good story after all this points crap.

Thank you! ^_^ Now for me to do the point system correctly the first time through... (I've never been good with point systems, except in the game FRAG) Question: (I know it might have been answered earlier, if so, I apologise in advance) Can only Jedi use lightsabers? (in this RP)

Quote:

(Who cares if you do somewhat bad in English. You can speak the language, read, and write, the class is worthless now)
Those are my thoughts, but obviously my school and parents don't think the same thing. Needless to say. I have to pass all my classes (including english) with a C or better to graduate, and I would like to graduate in the year 2006 like has been planned.

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 09:15 PM

Anyone can use a Light Saber, but only a Jedi can deflect lasers past level 1.


And I said some what bad... Which was supposed to mean a low B... Besides, your a sofmore (However you spell that), colleges mainly care about your Junior year (And more recently Senior)

Lycanthrope 02-15-2004 09:15 PM

Damn, you're forcing me to reivaluate. I'll upgrade as soon as I look it over.

For the time being, my race is human, my name is Hal Norov

Ok

Name: Hal Norov
Race: Human
Jedi?: No
Lightsaber type: Normal
Other Weapon's: Laser Pistol (blaster), Telescopic laser rifle,
Bio: Raised as a Bounty Hunter, Hal Norov is a master of light weapons, better than many jedi's with a light saber. He lives a spartan life, caring little for wealth and comfort, living slowly off of what money he comes into.

Light Saber: 5
Laser Deflect: 1
Pistol: 5
Rifle: 5
Machine Gun: 5
Land Vehicle Fighting: 3
Space Ship Fighting: 5


Com/Con: 2

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 09:23 PM

Hey you guys get off easy. My rents are college professors and one of them is an English Prof! If I get below an A they don't speak to me!

Oh and I changed my race to Defel.

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 09:28 PM

Lycan, you can't go past level 1 in Laser Deflect without being a Jedi (Forever explained while around page 7)

Forever Zero 02-15-2004 09:29 PM

If you don't think colleges care about sophmore year, your wrong. I've been undergoing college interviews (you can replace "College Interviews" with "Hideous Torture" and it means the same thing...) and they care about GPA (The average grades from all 4 years of high school) and the technical grades from each year. They all want your high school transcript, which has all your years of grades, and they look it over for problems from any year. *Shiver* Getting into college is messing with my head, and stressing me out cause I put off everyhting I need to do. Of course, I can't wait to get to college and get out of the house (I graduate in 2004, Booyah!), but it's killing me just trying to get into a college.

Lycanthrope 02-15-2004 09:30 PM

Duely noted and changed, sorry, I didn't have time to fully read through all the posts.

Forever Zero 02-15-2004 09:31 PM

That's okay, it's actually way back on page 4 (Man this thread is filling up fast. Something like 8 pages in one day...)

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 09:34 PM

Yeah it was a bitch to catch up this morning. Everything had adjusted by the time I was back.

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 09:34 PM

Added Lycan to the character attachment on first page. But changed one thing in his bio, added (Or so he thinks). Mainly because Jedi's are the Light Saber gods... You can be good, but it's a large exaggeration to say your better then many Jedi's (A couple maybe...)

Krylo 02-15-2004 09:35 PM

Looking at the character list... we have a bunch of Jedi Fighters... a non-jedi fighter, and two jedi-pilots. Guess I'll be going with computer nerd.


Name: Ghyslain Raza (I'm sure someone is going to get that joke)
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Weapons: One low power blaster pistol. He VERY rarely uses it, however, being deathly afraid of fighting.
Equipment: He carries a kit of various electronic and engineering tools along with a datapad.
Bio: Ghyslain has an IQ well into the 200s, if not higher... unfortunately, this did not make his life easy. Rather quite the opposite. He was hated by schoolmates, who envied his ability to do well in any class with minimal work... so long as it didn't require him to do anything physical. Which is another point that made him hated: He never participated in the physical games that the other students played. He simply didn't like them, and even if he had liked them, he was a bit of a clutz. Actually he was an incredible clutz, although he became rather coordinated during his early teens. By then, however it was too late, the damage had been done, and his hatred of all things sport-like had been well ingrained into him.
He, of course, also passed all of his classes with 4.0s, and for awhile it was actually do to his own work. At the age of 8 he discovered all the things one could do with a datapad and toolkit... especially when he was around computer terminals. He was a quick study, learning to hack systems, create viruses, and do anything else he liked in the cyber realm. This interest also lead him to his interest in robotics (as that they are somewhat similiar to computers), and eventually mechanics, although his true love is the cyber realm.
By the age of 12 it had consumed his life, and his abilities only continued to increase. Soon his scores in class had nothing to do with his working at them, but rather with his ability to simply break into the school system and adjust his scores allowing him time to play about in all sorts of places that he should not be playing, including but not limited to: corporate databases, criminal syndicate's computer files, and government information.
This would prove to be his downfall as he was caught but one of the criminal syndicate's slicers at 13. The slicer wasn't smarter than him, but the man was far more experienced, and thanks to that was able to pin-point Ghyslain's whereabouts. A squad was sent to retrieve him and find out what he knew, and who he'd told... he spent days in a dark cell, only interrupted to be tortured. He was able to barely escape with his life by using a piece of metal that he manage to chisel off of his bed and use it to short out the computer lock to his cell. Since then he's been on the run from that syndicate and has picked up various skills to help him stay alive, as well as an even deeper nervous streak.
Appearance: Small, thin, and weakly are three words that would describe Ghyslain perfectly. From the looks of his skin he rarely, if ever, goes out in the sun for more than a few minutes, and, in all honesty, he is fairly reminiscent of an understuffed skeleton, with his thin gangly limbs and the way his clothes hang loosely off of his extremely thin body, even his hair furthers this impression as it is a dirty blonde color which juts from his head in every direction, much like straw from under a scare-crow's hat. His face, however, could actually be considered attractive if it were on another body, with his stunning green eyes and clear boyish complexion.


No jedi...
Weapon Skills (6):
1 vibro blade
2 pistol
1 machine gun
1 ground fighter vehicle
1 space fighter vehicle.

Basic Skills (I get 35 points here):
5 comp/console.
5 robots.
3 ground vehicles.
2 space vehicles.
4 mechanics for vehicles.
3 medicine and non-force healing
3 stealth
3 stealing
4 awareness.
3 bullet dodging


(I altered his skills slightly... ditched fast talking. Want to make him more nervous around people... that's also why he's so young. Give him more social insecurity. Also: Slicer is SW for hacker.)

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 09:36 PM

Yeah you can't really compete with someone who knows where you're going to swing before you do.

Yeah, but keeping good grades in a teachers class were he will give you 0/50 if you only got 47 of the 50 done/right is kind of hard. (and I'm not exagerating.)

But onto Jedi stuff. Because I get confused easily
(sorry if I should know this stuff... I skimmed a little through the topic)
1.What would a vibro-blade be?
2. What's the difference between passive and non-passive? (it says "not passive" after force seeing, etc.)

(sorry I get easily confused. ^^;; )

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 09:39 PM

1. Vibro-blade is a sword (Best non light saber weapon)
2. Passive means it is always on, non passive means you have to do it (When you use Force Seeing, you drain your force to do so)

Stover 02-15-2004 09:40 PM

1. Its a sword that vibrates upon striking, creating a sawing action against whatever it hits. Just think of it as a sword that will cut you up good.
2. Passive means you don't need to work to use it. The effect is always on, whether you want it there or not. Non-passive means it must be turned on/cast.

(Late by mere seconds.)

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 09:40 PM

Edit: This is to Krylo

You'll want either a DH-17 Mod like I have or a Modified heavy blaster like Solo. I'd go with the DH-17 b/c it has a stun setting (The only reason I took it over solo's mother of a gun, in fact the only reason I took pistol.)

Stover 02-15-2004 09:41 PM

Which handgun is more akin to a .50 cal Magnum?

Forever Zero 02-15-2004 09:42 PM

Han's blaster is probably closer, his modified heavy blaster pistol would fit that role nicely...

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 09:43 PM

Solo's rapist pistol definitely!!!

That thing is like the double barreled shotgun pistol that El used in "Once Upon A Time In Mexico". All the power of a rifle in the space of a magnum.

Stover 02-15-2004 09:44 PM

Already took the Heavy Blaster! I don't have to edit!

Points go to Stover!

Forever Zero 02-15-2004 09:45 PM

Question, your only allowed to do one active force ability at a time right, so that you couldn't choke one guy, throw another off a cliff, and activate force drain and protect to make yourself an invincible force juggernaught...

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 09:47 PM

Although you should carry a flechete for anti-jedi and a DH-17 for areas with civilians.

Also if you want something REALLY powerful get a disruption pistol. Only holds about 5 shots but it breaks shit down at the molecular level. It blows through about.... anything.

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 09:47 PM

Force Drain is slow... It's a .5% drain a second (After draining and your cost). It's mainly to heal yourself using allies who are in good health.

But I would say about two at a time I guess.

Forever Zero 02-15-2004 09:49 PM

Alright, just checking. So when is this RP going to get started?

Krylo 02-15-2004 09:49 PM

I'm quite certain there are more types of blasters out there than we've seen in the movies and books, and the serial numbers don't seem important (and I can't remember dh this or blastek that... sorosuub this) ... but really I just want him to have something extremely small and weak. Ghyslain wouldn't be comfortable with any kind of real firepower. He only has one for self protection.

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 09:50 PM

That's what I was thinking. So if you were really demonic you could use Lightning and Drain at the same time and feed yourself as much as you needed and keep pumping that shit into your opponent. Or you could heal stuff while being invincible (my fav idea, no wounds from anything and healing what you do get. *Sigh* I am evil.)

Edit: Krylo, That'd be the DH-17 it's a decent firepower thing but nothing special. Either that or a sport pistol, but that's more of an aristocrat weapon.

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 09:51 PM

After Celes makes her bio I guess... Seems no one else is joining (If some are, they can join in any time since they can't be Jedi's), so either tonight or tomorrow...

But, I am doing homework (Sorta...), so if either you or krylo would like to write the begining it would start much sooner... (You have co-GM powers)


Edit - For your guy's double Force powers ideas, those will fail horrible. Drain is slow and gives very little back, your over use of lighting would quickly over power the drain. (Plus no one has drain I think)

Protect and Heal would drain you of Force very fast, and you would be weak and tired.

(Remember, Force is like magic, to much use of it leaves you tired, weak, and unable to use it for a while. It comes back naturally (Faster with meditation) though.

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 09:54 PM

If anyone needs to consult on weaponry I just recently became highly knowledgeable in this (spent an hour or two in barnes and knobles researching) so all questions like that direct to me on im so we don't have to clog up the threads anymore.

Edit- IHMN i have drain. that's why I came up with it. Also drain cows your opponent while you're using it right? sort of like lightning except non-damaging. So you could just sit back and drink it in assuming there was nobody else around?

Forever Zero 02-15-2004 09:55 PM

Okay. Any ideas for the direction the RP will take? I know overall we will be fighting the Dark Jedi, but don't know if you had any specific ideas.

Oh, and krylo, just to drag out a dead horse and beat it, a blaster bolt IS a laser beam, according to the Starwars.com Databank. It is...

"The basic blaster technology of intensifying a beam of light into a deadly bolt is scalable, and largely the same despite the differences in weapon types and sizes. The interior mechanisms of a tiny hold-out blaster, a blaster pistol, a large blaster rifle, and a turbolaser cannon are based on the same theories and principles. A squeeze of a trigger emits volatile blaster gas into a conversion chamber, where it is excited by energy from the weapon's power source. The agitated gas is then funneled through the actuating blaster module, where it is processed into an intense particle beam. A prismatic crystal focuses the beam, and passes it through a refinement chamber which "galvens" the beam into its final bolt."

Oh, and so that this has anyr relation to your post, a holdout blaster let's it be easy to hide but wiht low power.

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 09:59 PM

Oh no, they can move when draining. People can move while being hit by Lighting, Drain is nothing. They won't even feel it unless you've been doing it to them for 30 seconds or more.

Edit - Oh, and the first chapter is just all of us Jedi's on a random planet to find some Dark Jedi's who are suspected to be there, but we will end up needed help from the non Jedi's (Like some place will need to be hacked, so krylo comes in)

A squeeze of a trigger emits volatile blaster gas into a conversion chamber, where it is excited by energy from the weapon's power source. The agitated gas is then funneled through the actuating blaster module, where it is processed into an intense particle beam. A prismatic crystal focuses the beam, and passes it through a refinement chamber which "galvens" the beam into its final bolt."

Ok, look that makes no sense. A particle beam isn't a 'beam' it's subatomic molecules pushed at a incredibly high rate. I like krylo's explanation better.

It allows for more flexible play although a lase beam would be more practical. But also I love physics and I have to say that putting a partical beam through a crystal would acheive little more than blowing the crystal to smithereens.

Edit- IHMN so can we still use a lightsaber while draining?

With one hand... You need at least one hand out to use drain (Red lighting comes from fingers) But if some other Jedi is swinging at you, you're probably going to have to give up on your draining to live.

The main idea (If your trying to drain an enemy) is to drain and run (But not to far, because Drain has a semi-short range)

I don't know... that doesn't sound like a laser to me. Sounds like a particle beam... and the force.net, which uses the books, movies, etc. to describe what a blaster bolt is or is not says this: "There is no sure answer in terms of real life science; so far we can only place constraints on the nature of the beam by making careful observations about the filmed behaviour. The shots create light which is emitted sideways, otherwise the bolts would not be seen. The visible bolts appear to travel at various velocities, which usually appear to be slower than the speed of light. However there is an invisible component of the beam which often propagates far ahead of the visible bolt. The invisible forerunner is probably an aspect of the fundamental beam itself, and the luminosity of the bolt is a side-effect. The forerunner beam is known to damage targets before the visible bolts arrive, and this component of the shot may actually propagate at lightspeed. "

Which makes it look like it has a laser component and a non-laser component... but the biggest thing against it being a laser is two things 1) How would you 'galvanize' light? and 2) Getting a small stream of light to hold enough heat energy that it would cause the kind of damage in the movies would require the barrel to melt, or be made out of some sort of ceramic... and if it was purely heat, a ceramic could easily stop blaster bolts.

Uh... yes... but let's just go with the "Who the hell knows what they are?" thing?

Stop it with your 'beam' and 'laser' and 'subatomic particles' talk. Here is the basics of what you need to know.

"If a gun/blaster shoots a colorful thingy and it is not very large, a light saber can deflect it. The guns themselves are super technology that needs not to explanation, and those who question it are killed."

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 10:11 PM

subatomic particles is what I meant to say. It's a broken stream of neutrons and protons. The electrons are knocked off.
Basically a railgun on the scale of a toothpick.

Stover 02-15-2004 10:13 PM

...a railgun uses magnetic acceleration...

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 10:15 PM

And exactly how did you think they seperated the electrons from the protons? It's a combination magnetic acceleration and an intense flow of energy.

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 10:16 PM

One more word of this and your characters will be missing limbs.

Krylo 02-15-2004 10:16 PM

I like that. I say we obey.

Edit: I want my limbs!

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 10:18 PM

Fine. It's all just metaphysics anyway and completely rules out the use of antimatter or any such material which really makes this an inane conversation anyway. Antimatter will have replaced any power source that we have today

And no I'm not crazy they have already produced 50 nanograms of anti-matter in a lab in ... Switzerland I believe it was.

Forever Zero 02-15-2004 10:28 PM

Dangit, I got pulled away by watching Law & Order, and I can't discuss it anymore...

Well, I agree that it wasn't a great explenation, and that it was flawed, but it was the official explenation. I just thought plasma seems odd since you would need to superheat gas to a gas/liquid state as hot as many suns in an object that can fit in your hand, so I wondered about how that could work and I stumbled on that, so I decided to bring it up.

They already did that?

*Notices glares from IHMN*

This is me shutting up...

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 10:30 PM

You need to get AIM so we can discuss this further without being eviscerated.

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 10:30 PM

Here is a suggestion. Go make an Anti-Matter thread in the discussion forum.

And then go make a Star Wars Blasters and Guns thread too.

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 10:32 PM

Will do

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 10:43 PM

Now if you all want, you can go argue about Star Wars guns in the Discussion Forum...

I hope this character is alright. It took me awhile to finally decide on everything.

IHateMakingNames 02-15-2004 10:53 PM

So, you're saying that she was a Dark Jedi, but got bored and decided to be a Jedi of the Order, just like that?

Ummm..... I guess that doesn't really work.
I wasn't really sure what to do for her bio, any suggestions of what might work better?

Krylo 02-15-2004 11:04 PM

You could mention something about being particularily moral... being put under a dark jedi in the training facility, and after awhile of training against your will, killing your dark jedi master and hijacking a ship, barely escaping to the Jedi Order's planets and then being taken in to be a light jedi...

Rhuhael 02-15-2004 11:05 PM

Celes, you can just make it something about her morals and "an awakening to justice." etc. etc. you know the whole redeemed character speil. It's odd though. My gut is doing the opposite sorta :p
