Hi. Thus far all I have for my character is a name and pretty much a blank slate. I am open perhaps more so that he is force sensitive, or at least learns of it, however I want his experiences to shape him. If anyone could suggest anything or help me out as I have no idea where to start or what to base him on.

Oh, he will be an adolescent minimum, maximum age of around 18 perhaps with some military or experience of conflict. Perhaps a Cadet or former Cadet. I don't really know. Neither can I see how he might find he is force sensitive. I mean I'm not sure how prolific or secretive your force sensitive factions are so m unsure how realistic it is he would know of them/ believe in them.

Well hello there! Welcome to our little mad corner of the internet.
So, when it comes to force-sensitivity, it can manifest in a myriad of ways. Someone's extra lucky, they have a better than average instincts, and the like. Thus, if you wanted to work with that angle, you can say that as a soldier-type character, his reaction time is higher than average - or perhaps something along those lines. There's plenty of conflict that's occurred in our beloved corner, so it's more than possible he's seen some action.
However, when it comes to our lovely Jedi and Sith factions, the latter tends to be the most elusive of all. The Jedi are more open than their darker halves, and more common in our version of the Galaxy, so it's more than plausible that both sides are known to all the faceless NPC's our character's interact with.

(Dammit, Bels, always beating me to the punch.  ) Davos Raim. Nice solid name, I like it. Welcome to the 'verse!  I'm no expert when it comes to the Force. But around here, as far as story and character and how things are, it's simple: there's no set equation. As long as you know how to play/work well with others, you're free to make things in your story however you want to. There's no actual set timeline, although to borrow the words of a wise friend, we're loosely set in the Legacy era of the EU/Legends timeline. I'm sure if you wanted Raim to be unaware of his sensitivity, there'd be a way. |

Yay!! i am not the new kid anymore!
I have been on the sight for almost half a year and love it. The people are friendly and everyone is willing to help. If you have specific questioons you can message most anyone and they will help you.
There are forcies everywhere. Light, dark, and gray.
My main character is 15 and she just learned of her abilities. She has always been lucky and had good instincts. The other thing i have had her do, when she really needs something to happen, it does. She doesn't realize she made trash fall out to give her the distraction she needed, just thinks its nice it did.
Other thing to decide is are you here for a game, IE someone can beat you, or are you here to tell stories with others. I and most the people i writ with i think go with the story angle.

Welcome to JvS Davos! Most of these fine folks have pretty well covered most of what there is to say, but if you have any questions or what to plan out some sort of storyline please feel free to ask and we'll be happy to help.
I'm one of those reclusive Sithy sorts that Belial mentioned, so if you have questions about that sort of stuff I'll be happy to lend what aid that I can. Welcome again!

Not to double-post, but I suppose that a good question to ask you would be if you had anything in mind at all for your character's overall life/plot? Did you want him to discover his connection to the Force? Would you rather he not? Do you have any preferences or leanings at all towards any particular group or faction that you might want to have him eventually join. It's awesome that you want to just kind of let him evolve naturally as a character (I know Stormro certainly did on his own volition back on FB >.>), but it might be a lot easier to find RP if you at least have some sort of rough idea as to where you would like him to go or what you would like him to experience. Another good question to consider, given your idea that he has some minor military experience, is what military background he comes from? Did he serve the Republic? Was he an Imperial soldier? Maybe he was raised amongst the Mandalorians? From there you have a core to build from. Regardless of which background he came from, why is he no longer with whatever organization he fought for? Or perhaps he still is, in which case that provides a lot of basis for a character. As an example of how such an origin can serve as the basis of a character, take a look at good ol' Gideon Raith here; Gideon is an AMAZING example of a character who has been built around the core of military service. I'll let you take a gander at the bio in that link for the details, but in summary Gideon is a bigoted xenophobic Stormtrooper who came from a traditional Imperial background. If you're looking at making a character who has been shaped by their military service he would be an excellent example to look at. As I said before, please feel free to shoot any of us questions if you have any and we'll be more than happy to try and do what we can for you. |

Welcome aboard, Davos! Meds are on the left, beer on the right. *Hope you like Coopers....it's the only thing they let us stock around here*. Grab a cold one, get your med cup, and have a ball!! No, seriously though...the team here has always been, in my experience, friendly, fun, and a little crazy in a good way. Plenty of good writers, and quite a few people with the skill to help you with pretty much whatever you are looking for. The other things I was gonna say to you were already covered, so, again, welcome, and enjoy!! If you have any questions or the like, I am quite sure you can message anyone who has posted here, myself included. Cheers!!  |

Thanks Stevan Stormro. Youn have given me food for thought; thanks to all for your warm welcome. I didn't expect such an emphatic response.
I think a dissolutioned ex Stormtrooper screams nuances of the Force Awakens, so I don't want to go down that path. However I thik the angle to go at is Davos sees (gonna go with Imperial here) that the Imperial method largely gets the job done. However perhaps controversially he starts to feel they could go even further. I am thinking that big groups such as the Imperials or Republic tend to deal with the big picture, often as not piracy and petti crime goes unpunished, but can be equally as devastating, thus he decided it all needs controlling.
Now having followed this thought process I have arrived at a basis to begin.
Davos is an Imperial Cadet, as you attested to he knows he can do some things better than others, but puts it down to nothing more than being better. On a mission, whether it be training or otherwise he could go that step too far and actually breach protocol and via off the mission objective disobeying a commanding officers order and and up carrying out his own version of justice. This will lead him to be disgracefully discharged from the Imperial Academy and veering more toward the Dark side.
So now lies my question.
Any takers? Who is best to get involved with? And where to begin?

You're welcome Davos; Overall I think that concept sounds really interesting. If I am reading it correctly it sounds live Davos is a fairly authoritarian person with a somewhat draconian outlook and a desire/love for order. I would definitely advise continuing to flesh out what you can in your profile to build the character as much as you can. As for the Imperial stuff I'm trying to recall what sort of Imperial presence there is already on the site, although admittedly I am a tad out of touch with a lot of the groups who I haven't RPed with recently so it might be better to check with some of the others regarding that. I do seem to recall that the Fel Empire as a faction was recently closed so perhaps, presuming of course that my memory is not incorrect regarding the Fel Empire, he came out of that Imperial environment which could also add some frustration of the dissolution of said empire?
*Glances at Belial for backup on the question regarding Imperial presences and factions on JvS.*
Regarding your question, Stormro already has an apprentice of his own currently so more than likely a full blown apprenticeship involving him will not work, but I am sure that Stormro will be more than happy to lend Davos his expertise and knowledge should they ever encounter each other. I also know that I've been daydreaming over the last few months of trying to found some sort of Sith Academy, seeing as (To my knowledge at least) there aren't any active places of Sith learning currently on JvS and Stormro has gotten to a point in his life where he is more interested in scholarly pursuits and teaching then conquest. If I can ever find the time and a suitable place to get such an academy off the ground that could also be an interesting option, but I wouldn't bank too heavily on it for the time being simply due to the fact that I'm in my last year-ish of college and am thus fairly busy.
As Belial mentioned earlier right now the Sith on JvS seem to be in a bit of a waning phase, in part I'd imagine due to a certain Zabrak Jedi's little crusade. I'm currently writing in a fairly small group currently, so I don't really have a good idea as to who is still lurking around in the shadows, but feel free to start looking over the boards and through profiles to see if anyone or anything catches your eye. I'd also advise dropping into the Chatango chat (It's in the bottom left corner) sometimes; it can often be a great way to meet more writers and get a feel for what options are out there.

Post by Nicademus Delvardus IV on Nov 23, 2015 20:17:24 GMT -8
Hey there, Davos! Sorry for my belated 'welcome to JvS' post.
Thought I drop in and offer you some possibilities for your character. I got two characters currently; Nicademus Delvardus and Darth Malvus who are working on two new factions. One is Imperial and the other is a general Dark Side faction. Gonna give you a little information on both characters.
Nicademus Delvardus is the former Galactic Emperor of the recent Empire reincarnation (which was dissolved and whose capital was formerly Kuat). He took what loyal forces he had and retreated with them to Imperial Space, taking up shop on Yaga Minor and Muunilist. He has Imperial Knights, Sith and non-force Imperials in his services and is looking to build an Empire successor state/Imperial Warlord Domain in the Eastern Outer Rim area. He may have a character change depending on where things go, but that's beside the point. So that's my Imperial offer.
My Dark Side offer involves Darth Malvus and his designs for the Western Outer Rim. Won't go into too much detail here, but the general idea is that he wants to form a union of various Dark Side individuals and factions that will eventually form into a new core for a future Dark Empire. It will involve Sith, Dark Jedi and various Dark Side Practitioners. They are currently using the guise of an organization known as Ses-Trade which is a hegemony, of Malvus's design, seeking stability and order for the Western Outer Rim. I have gotten some old Sith friends involved and made contact with a large Dark Jedi group in my area of space to link up with us. I have an apprentice myself as Malvus, but I bet there could be someone from among our group that could train you. Otherwise, like Stormro, Malvus can still lend his expertise and knowledge to Davos. And there is my Dark Side/Sith offer.
I hope you can join either of them, even if you are a temporary guest or a permanent member! I always keep an open door to those interested.
Welcome again to the forum!

once you get established a bit, I think Kent and your guy may have some fun stuff to do. If we can make it work. My character is about to start training, light side though.

Thanks Nicadimus, I believe we can work something out. My starting point for Davos can certainly start with your Imperial character. I will private message you and see if we can't set the ball rolling.
Sounds good Kate, I'm all ears to any ideas. Feel free to message me.
