PADAWAN HUNT: SURVIVAL DROP

__Jedi Weapon Master Juno Armstrong has been without a Padawan since shortly before the fall of Coruscant. Her previous Padawan, now Jedi Knight Jake Denoda, has gone on to become a valued member of the Order, operating in the remote reaches of space, on the fringes of what is considered safe, even for a Jedi. Now, however, the time has come for Juno to take on her third Padawan Learner.

__In these dark times in which a Jedi can no longer safely traverse the universe alone, let alone untrained, a certain level of skill is expected of a Jedi who wishes to depart the Jedi Temples. That having been said, Weapons Master Armstrong holds an exceptionally important role which often takes her both outside the Temples and into areas of the galaxy which are not typically declared as safe, or green zones. Due to the higher risk involved with travelling with Master Armstrong, she has arranged for a series of tasks to properly gauge potential candidates to fill the position as her Apprentice.

__The candidates will be sent to the swamps of Manpha, a small planet along the Corellian Trade Spine, not too far from the safety of Anoth and the Light of the Force. Under the careful supervision of Juno herself, the candidates will be put through a series of survival tasks that test their mettle against nature, combat droids (set to training mode only) - testing for things like leadership skills, teamwork, woodcraft, and survival skills. While this is a controlled exercise, applicants are reminded that this is a dangerous environment, and you will be tested. Work together, and you may find yourself in the position of Weapons Master Armstrong's tutelage. Even if you don't, however, you are reminded that this exercise offers more than just an apprenticeship, but also experience, firsthand, with the support of several other Jedi, the situations that may befall a member of the Order.

__Applicants are to apply here with the following requirements.

Please include a brief outline as to why you would like to be considered
for the position of Juno's Padawan Learner. Please include
any strengths and weaknesses that your character has.

OOC said:
There will be only five (5) places for this thread, and all applicants will be given equal and due consideration based on what they post here and their character profile. From the five chosen candidates, one will get the position of Juno's Padawan - again, all will be given due consideration, specifically due to the actions exhibited during this thread.

This is for anyone who is interested in their character becoming Juno's third Padawan. I do these tests and things to give a story to the relationship, to give everyone a fun story, and also to see how you (and your character) interacts with Juno and those around them. All very important things for me OOCly, and Juno ICly. Any questions, don't hesitate to PM me.

Name: Rayla Zerosa

Link: In the sig.

Why I would like my character Rayla to be considered for Master Armstrong's Apprentice: Well, for starters, she was a mere Padawan when the fall of the Jedi had officially occured. OOCly, I had her planned to just be exiled on Dantooine and come out occasionally for an RP here, or an RP there. Now, I realize I want to do something much more with this character, though first she needs experience before I can even consider her worthy of making a dent in the SWRP Story. A personal weakness of mine is developing characters throughout the time I RP with them, and I think by taking on this role, it could not only help Rayla flourish in Jedi expertise ICly, but it could help me improve my weakness of character development OOCly.

Name: Ryloss Narexsus
Link: In signature

Ryloss has been living on his own for ten years, becoming extremely reliant on his weapons as opposed to his force powers. He sees his lightsaber as a last resort weapon. However, he also carries blasters and occasionally an Ancient Sith War-Sword he crafted by himself.
He does try to see the good in people, but can and will kill if pushed. He is a great diplomat, extremely fit and agile and uses form IV, although he wishes to branch away from this. He also has about fifteen years of Jedi teaching, having abandoned it at around twenty years of age and coming extremely close to the dark side. However, he has mostly recovered and returned to the Order, now hoping to quickly get to Knight.

He wishes to become Armstrong's apprentice since he believes that the lightsaber is the most crucial part of a Jedi's armory, even more than the Force, and sees this as a chance to learn how to utilize it to the best of his abilities.

Name: Cal-doran Varmesceance
Link: In sig (: here it is again doe.

Well, Cal is quite similar to Juno in terms of personality; quite serious in anything they do when it comes to defending their cause, they have a wide variety of skills to apply to anything they do. They are also kind of 'oddballs' as I see it in the modern NJO. They could get along quite well.

Plus, she has the oppurtunity to teach a Jedi that was away from the Order for a decade and raised to the age of 21 in an Imperial prison, who is also quite strongly Force Sensitive.

Who, despite all that time spent in prison, STILL wants to be a part of the Jedi Order.

His strengths include Force usage, overall physical strength, he's a fast learner, and can wield any weapon with relative ease. As far as weaknesses go, he has quite the mouth on him (as a Jaime Lannister looking guy should have :P) and since he discovered how strongly he can use the Force, I consider it a weakness that he thinks he can just use it whenever he wants in however amounts he desires.

Name: Akiva Raynar
Link: http://www.thestarwarsrp.com/forum/showthread.php?51432-Akiva-Raynar
Reasons why I would like my character to be your padawan learner: My character had a master by the name of Yuriko Hattori when he was 9 and she taught him many things until the Battle of Coruscant happened. Akiva's master got Akiva to safety when she realized that the battle was all but lost. Yuriko was killed in a battle agains the Sith while helping others escape. Akira feels a bit lost after the Battle of Coruscant mostly because it's the only home he has ever known. He hopes that continuing his training will honor his master's wishes that he someday become a Jedi Guardian as she once was.

Name: Lana Fothe
Link: Here
While Lana has trained under a Jedi Knight (deceased) in the past she isn't particularly skilled in wilderness survival. This opportunity allows her to glean skills she may lack from her fellow Padawans to better herself in more dire situations where her life might be hinged on the lessons learned from her peers that are far more experienced in this field. In addition, this test provides Lana with an opportunity to learn from the Jedi Weapons Master and further her own martial prowess.

While Lana might be lacking in the Survival department she is distant yet protective of her allies. Through her moderate knowledge of the Shii-Cho Lightsaber Form she will protect and aid her comrades in any way possible. This when paired with her own innate drive to overcome overwhelming odds makes for her to be an asset rather then a hindrance in combat situations.

Finally, Lana has a silent goal to avenge not only the countless who died on Coruscant but her own late parents. This goal helps in her drive to succeed despite situations that are not in her favor. At the same time Jana's own personal goal is a founded out of a lust for vengeance a powerful Dark Side emotion that can cause her judgement to become blurred and sometimes made from that bloodthirsty desire. Essentially I believe that Juno can aid Jana in finding her center and guide her away from the dark path she currently treads down.

Well just as an update; we've got 5 participants here, which means we've met the minimum requirement for me to start this thread. If you are interested in this thread, there is still an opportunity. Please post here with the requested information, and you will still be considered for a slot in the thread.

I will most likely announce who will be chosen to participate on Tuesday 22/10 around 8pm AEST (go on, convert it!), at which point you can expect the thread itself to be up within 24-48 hours after that.

Name: Asha Seren
Link: http://www.thestarwarsrp.com/forum/showthread.php?51644-Asha-Seren-PTS

Asha, at this point, has already gone through a fair amount of training - yet I feel that Juno would be able to hone in her skills, as Asha is going to be largely combat-based (Infact Asha and Juno have had a training session in the past, where she stole one of Asha's lightsabers *grumble*) Asha is also an individual who finds it difficult to learn in controlled conditions (such as by remaining stuck in one Temple constantly) and the fact that Juno would be venturing out a lot - Master Armstrong holds an exceptionally important role which often takes her both outside the Temples and into areas of the galaxy which are not typically declared as safe, or green zones. - And I think it would really help her training.

By the time the time-skip is over, Asha will be well versed in Niman w/Jar'kai (as she sees balance as key, especially with combat) and thanks to her poor upbringing she's able to fend and survive for herself, which means that she can fend off danger and pass on the survival skills to others. That said, this thread you've got planned would definitely aid her communicative/team working skills, which Asha is (as you know) sadly lacking. On and don't expect her to be able to swim, if water's involved :[

Just a reminder that I will be selecting the 5 participants sometime within the next 6-12 hours! If you'd like to be involved, there is still time!

Hi all, I've chosen the folk who will be participating in "The Survival Drop" (which counts as a Training thread, by the way!).


Congrats guys, direct yourselves over to the thread!

Jaydee, sorry that your character didn't make the cut for this event, but feel free to PM me and we can work out another thread - just you and me, alright? :)


Rules of the thread:
  1. The thread will operate on a posting cycle, meaning there will be no posting order. But I ask that you only post ONCE after any one of my posts. So as an example, I am poster #1 (cuz i am!), and if we have an order like 123456, then the next round it fine if we end up with 162534. As long as everyone gets one post inbetween mine, we're happy.
  2. If, for whatever reason, you are unable to post within 3 days of the most recent person, you will be skipped. If this happens twice, you will be NPC'd out of the thread, and will fall out of contention for Juno's apprenticeship.
  3. Everyone has the right to be creative and drive the thread, but please respect each other's posts and creativity. Hopefully we'll generate our own flow in the thread after one or two posting rounds!
  4. Have fun! (or else)

ANNND GO:

For the five folk participating in this thread, I pose a question to you. Obviously one person will get the apprenticeship, but for the remaining four I have this idea:

Post-Exercise reports. I can write an analysis of your character's overrall performance, highlighting areas for improvement, strengths etc. Essentially give you an "IC" grade for how Juno would have perceived your character's participation in this event. I'll only do it if its a unanimous decision to want them, because well... I'm all about spreading the love.

Let me know.

Yes! Could you write ones just for us that want them, in case someone doesn't?

I didn't see this until now. Of course it's a good idea! I like it and think it'd be good for those of us that aren't chosen (:
