My character, Oghon Parsa, will be a Padawan Learner within the Order. He's still sort of lacking a master, though, so if anyone has a Jedi Knight with mentor ambitions, Oghon's available!

My main will be a Jedi dropout, that quit while Padawan. I don't plan on joining the Jedi faction as of yet, but according to how things play out, he might join in the future. So, wanting to have a "clean" profile sooner, rather than later, here are some few questions to anyone who's kind enough to answer:

1 - Would it be acceptable if he was trained from Initiate to Padawan on an Arkanian Praxeum? It might just be a small subsidiary of the Jedi Order, nothing much. Or at least, can I say he was sent there for a while?

2 - On that note, does someone want's one of their characters to be my master? It can be any species or gender, but it has to be someone who stayed on Arkania at the time.

3 - Is it okay to state on the Bio that some Jedi on Corellia (from a noble house) followed their own sets of small traditions in regards to clothing, etc.?

That's it. Of course that I'm willing to clarify any of those questions in case I didn't make myself clear. Also, if you want - and have like half an hour to spare - you can always check the Bio yourselves.

So I wanted my jedi to be like mace windu or quinlan vos. That is to say, a flawed jedi who may have some darkside temptations and a bit pf a sour or cold disposition on life. Maybe a bit trigger happy with their sabers as well, and generally blunt and not very emotional.

Would that gel with the current order? Or would it be a bit too ooc for jedi of thos time period?

You'd be quite mellow in comparison to some of us zealots. It'd definitely be okay for Jedi of this period.

From what I've seen we will be more militaristic and Windu/Vos style Jedi will fit in great. We are not the classic jedi so much as a more combat-oriented version that answers to a Jedi Lord.

To answer @MockaDash I feel those are pretty good, and good luck finding a master but it's not required. Just be careful assuming lore of a planet and creating conflicts when something isn't clear yet.. not stopping you from having a different Corellian style, just keep in mind it might not mix with what becomes site lore. I've kept my own bios fairly vague until we get more info.

Tbh, we don't actually know the temperament of the Jedi in this era. Nothing has really be fleshed out, and the written characters are very diverse. In fact, we don't even know the extent of the Jedi faction's allwoed "zealotry", since even the moderate Obi-Wan Kenobi could easily fit the bill of a fanatic, by most definitions.

My thinking on it is, whatever you have planned, just go for it. Some people like the over-zealous angle, but practically speaking, there's only so far you can go with it. The Force is very black and white; you can't really get away with doing extreme things "in the name of the Jedi" without it (sometimes even physically) changing you.

I kinda wrote in my bio that the jedi did a bit of a horrible things to sith controlled worlds in order to end the wars, among the usual hunts and stuff. It was a crux for my characters master to leave the order in disgust, and for my character to go off and hunt them down on order of their jedi superiors. This caused him to confront his master, and the two of them to end up fighting to the death, and my character to essentially become the type of cold and emotionally distant person they'd be in present rping time. Their was also some stuff involving dark side fallen children, that really didn't end well. Point being, I was trying to gauge how far on the envelope I could go before I began to cross the line. They're already going to have a bit of the dark side stains on their soul, something they're doing a lot to try and fight back against, but I just really want to avoid being what is essentially a dark jedi in the order when logic would have had them rooted out a while ago, know what I mean?

Thanks for the answers and advice! So I'm guessing it's okay to reference a Praxeum in Arkania then.
As for the Corellian Jedi, they're not the ones from Legends, but were obviously based on them. On the PC's background, I'm not getting into much detail on that matter.

There's a plot device hinging on the fact that some NPCs on Corellia fail to recognize my character as a Jedi Padawan. I thought it made more sense to use the "different traditions" as a way to explain that rather than going with "they simply didn't know much about Jedi". Though I much prefer the first option, the second one is more than reasonable since not everyone in the SW Galaxy believes in, or even knows about the Force and the Jedi. If I'm not allowed to use option one, I'll replace it with option two.

We're all the FL this timeline. Think of it like a participatory democracy.

You're saying Windu was flawed? Where's the pitchforks and torches?

Because while you all get to vote, leadership reserves the right to completely ignore you all. ;p

I don't have the time to even consider being FL but I'd be happy to help out whoever does end up with the job.

I applied for the position. I'll be brave and step forward. ;)

Not bothering with the FL. The selection process will fall along the same lines as the think tank, so it'll be someone already in good relation with the admins. It streamlines everything that way.

We're going to choose whoever the best candidates are. If they've been here for 1 year or 7 years isn't a factor. There's one candidate in particular (I won't say who or for what faction) who I really don't know anything about nor have I interacted with them in any way that I can remember, but they are someone who has an outstanding application and an obvious qualification for the role. This person is my preference for that faction.

After years of less than ideal faction leadership across the board, choosing anything short of the best possible candidates would be shooting this timeline in the foot before it can even start.

Except nobody can be in good relation with the admins because they're all heartless soul-devouring servants of Rheathulhu.

It's true, I seen't it.
