Accepted as an experienced Proselyte for now. I'd prefer most members for right now at least do some as proselytes before becoming adepts. Just do a few missions to get a feel for your character first, then I wouldn't mind bumping you.

Hey bro! Glad to have your application! There's a few things on your profile that you'll need to clear up for me first, though.

Force Sensitive:Yes. Midi-Chlorian count of over 12,500
I think midi-chlorians aren't used on the site. I could be wrong, but I think it's quietly unacknowledged here.
Biography:Dante is a distant descendant of a Matukai who was killed in the years following the Jedi purge, but not before he passed on his teachings and a written record of the teachings of his people and it's heritage to his daughter. The cycle has continued since that day with the first born child of every generation carrying on that legacy down to Dante who showed great promise in Teras Kasi but never the ability to consciously manipulate the force.
Just so I understand this clearly, Dante wasn't actually made a Matukai?
Not knowing that several of the abilities he had assumed were simple instinct or willpower were in actual fact force abilities he was rejected by the Jedi order as being unable to wield force neither party knowing that his abilities manifested only in response to particularly powerful emotions or under times of extreme stress, the more he tried to focus and control it the more his ability to wield the force fled.
I'm not sure I totally understand this one. So, he's Force Sensitive, but the Jedi can't detect it? A lot of Force sensitives can manifest power when emotional; emotions can become a natural amplifier for Force powers. I could see this working if he was just Force-attuned, but not if he was fully sensitive.
Force Powers:
Soft to Solid: Novice
Soft-to-Solid (aka, Density Control) is actually an advanced power for Matukai. Only very advanced Adepts (experienced Knight equivalent) or Savant-level Matukai (Jedi Master equivalent) are taught it, since it requires a lot of control. Especially since he has little control, he wouldn't be able to use the ability in any practical form.

Aside from those bits, it looks good, bro!

Removed the Midi-Chlorians I just used because it gave me a vague idea of what his potential would be while I was trying to decide, this character was made for another forum a long time ago and it used them to gauge power so I just carried it over.

None of his family have been accepted as Matukai though they all developed the skills to a point where they would have been, more then 1 to the point of mastery, they carried out the training of one and learned it's skill from one member of the family to the next but never actively sought to rejoin with the Matukai order instead preferring to remain apart and keep they're skills secret so that in the event of another purge they wouldn't be targets, Dante's families goal was more the preservation of the Matukai's skills and knowledge then the hunting of darkness.

They would have been able to detect that he was force sensitive but he has literally 0 ability to actually control it or direct it. His powers are linked entirely to his emotions, the more he tries to direct it mentally and control it the less he's able to actually feel the force, so the only way he'll ever be able to use it is to learn to wield his emotions rather then to control them.
So when he tried to become a Jedi and had to actively use his powers he was completely unable to tap into it so despite having the potential for it he showed no more ability then any normal human would, I suppose it would be less a case of they rejected him and more a case of they gently informed him that he was incapable of becoming a Jedi, but to Dante that was a rejection. The idea came from one of the books where a character had the same situation, he had the potential but couldn't actively direct the force he could still have joined but he could never have actually became a Jedi and he took it as a rejection until a long time later.

I know how advanced the skill is, the idea was he knows what the skill is having been taught about the different abilities of Matukai by his mother, but unlike other Matukai who learned balance and control Dante's abilities are linked to his emotions so when extremely excited he used the ability with no understanding of what he had actually done, he'd been focussed on making his next blow harder and so the force responded by hardening his fist as he landed the blow, he couldn't repeat it even if he tried it was just included as a way to show his potential if he learned how to wield his power.

The other 3 skills are all basic abilities and them he switches on and off whenever he needs them but he's attributed them to just instinct and experience since they didn't develop until after he'd began entering real battles.

Criminy (yes, I really just said that, lol), I'm sorry for taking so long. Monday was insane.

All good, I've done that before, myself.

Ahh, I see now. Pretty cool.

Okay, I see where you're coming from now. That's fine.

You could actually achieve that same effect with Force Strength, a very basic Matukai ability. If you want to keep StS there, that's fine, just make sure it's noted that it's a potential talent, not a learned one

That said, welcome to the group, mate! You're officially a Proselyte

No worries everyone has busy days, my character once the Order of Revan is approved will be playing in both orders, the Revan order is essentially just aiming to unite the galaxy in peace, equality and to stop judging people based on Light or Dark. That said it accepts some people are truly dark and need to be removed so even if the two won't be friends no reason I can think of for them to ever be enemies. Revan if anything will be a neutral order so it'll never be a target for Matukai and Matukai only fight darkness so they're not a target for Revan.
I talked about it with Benvenu first after he invited me to join here to check that the two orders goals wouldn't clash.

I'll edit in that StS in only a potential skill now. Thank's for accepting me :).

Will this Order continue with the new timeline? I intended my character to do pretty much what I've read in the descriptions of the faction, and would likely find the training I'm really looking for here.

If so, I'll definately put in an application. I'm with the Jedi presently, but have been in only one thread thus far and am not committed to a master.
