Sol Sect- Indie Force-User Faction

[FallenKeeper]

So I would like to create a faction of pacifist Force-using Healers. They are Light side focused but render aid to anyone in need, even injured Dark Siders, though they'd attempt to convert them. Their bases will be known as Sanctuaries and provide refuge to those who seek it. In a time of war they seek to help allieve the suffering of the galaxy without taking life at all costs, even self sacrifice. Anyone interested?

Now combat skills would only be utilized in self-defense or defense of others. A Sol Sect member would never start a fight but would react to one against himself or his charges. Enemies are to be incapacitated with little harm. The most that would be accepted is the severing of a weapon-wielding limb.

Healers? I'll surely want in on this. Count me in.

 

[Dread]

Angel would like to meet these healers.

 

[FallenKeeper]

I'd like to gauge interest before I even get started on solid details for the faction.

Angel would like to meet these healers.

Not if Sho'Flo meets them first.

This is what I have so far.

My Compassion Guides Me:

Empathy is our greatest asset. In recognizing the pain of others we can know best where to bring our skills. We must understand our Wards in order to expedite care on a emotional level as well as physical. We are not sterile doctors, we are servants of the Light.

My Charity Heals Others:

The Force is not ours to use as we see fit. We must use it to help others, as well as anything else we have at our disposal. To give what we hold dear is a sincere and difficult act, but we will be rewarded with the knowledge that we have helped others.

My Benevolence Brings Hope:

Through our actions we will seek to act as role-models to those who have the power in their community to help others. We are not Jedi Knights, but mere healers. We must display kindness to all, even those considered evil. No being is beyond redemption, ever.

My Sword Is My Shield:

Use of the lightsaber is not our main purpose, but its value as a symbol and tool for defense have been proven time and time again. We must never draw our weapon unless it is to defend ourselves or the lives of our Wards. If necessary it is acceptable to sever the limb of an opponent, but never to willingly kill. If our Ward is suffering and beyond our skills to heal, one can, with permission, mercifully put them to rest as a last result.

The Force Is My Gift:

We use the Force to aid others and only others. To use the Force for simple acts, such as drawing an item from a surface, is childish. Only through humble behaviors can we understand those we help. We serve the Light and the people with the Force, not ourselves.

Grandmaster: Sol (Persons Name)

[Malz]

Signed. About damn time.

 

[Moriarty]

Dude, I want in. This is awesome.

 

[Crusader]

This look very awesome, FK. I'm very interested in joining the faction but will have to make a character for it since so far I only have one.

 

[FallenKeeper]

Well then, enough interest has prompted me to go ahead and work out details. Danke folks, danke. Now to also make the leader in conjunction with the faction. If anyone has ideas for where the Temple will be located, must be a neutral planet, please make suggestions.

EDIT: Also, the faction will have a long history so characters can have Bios where they entered the group young if they wish. Long as in time-wise not text-block size :P

 

[Malz]

Would Jedi be allowed to partake in this? This is like...a perfect faction for Malz =/

Also, Alderaan's a pretty peaceful planet. Seems like a good place.

 

[FallenKeeper]

They would, you'd come in at your current rank in the Jedi or as a beginning rank if you wish. Sort of a "Unlearn what you have learned" training method.

EDIT: Those who want to make characters please PM me and let me know what the highest ranked character you have in a Force faction is. I would like competent active council members who can help make this faction an active participant in the RP as a whole.

 

[Raif]

Naboo is currently neutral. Seems like a pretty peaceful planet to me.

 

[FallenKeeper]

Naboo would work, I'd like the group to have a place not occupied by any other Force-Sensitive groups.

 

[JMocks]

Use the planet Ylix. I'm the King. I'd welcome your garrison.

 

[FallenKeeper]

Not a garrison, and Ylix is not neutral, sir. :P

 

[FallenKeeper]

Those interested please post a link to the character you wish to have join as well as a rank you feel is suitable and I will decide if I agree.

This is our code and oath...

Our history is not very interesting, we do not participate in war, seek out adventure or publicity. We've existed as hermits, wanderers and witch doctors on less technologically advanced worlds. From the very beginning we knew our code would be taken advantage of, so we chose to hide among the less fortunate, giving our services in exchange for anonymity. We exist as whispers of hope in troubled societies, but all hope needs is a breeze to lift the soul.

Due to this our presence has been kept secret and our true name is known only to close friends and family. We have, at times, been mistaken for members of the Jedi Order. This is accepted as we serve the Light and have become allies with differing methods and beliefs.

For four hundred years we have remained vigilant, as vigilant as the suns whom we take our name from. We have resided within a hidden temple on Naboo, deep within the swamps. Our members use personal transport to achieve their destinies as healers. Unlike the Jedi we do believe in ties and posessions, as we deal with death on a regular basis most of our members are accustomed to the grief of loss, but marriage is only permitted when a member displays the wisdom to accept loss. Even so, how one reacts to loss is not always predictable. But we take care of our own, as we always have. Our members have never fallen to the dark side, but being few in number that is not something to boast.

Rules:
1. Faction Members must be Force Sensitive
2. Tolerance of others is required to be able to perform duties, not every Ward is grateful.
3. Under no circumstance are members to be goaded into combat.
We are peaceful beings, our weapons are for defense only.
4. Never kill an opponent should a fight be unavoided, seek to diffuse the battle or incapacitate an enemy. If necessary it is
permitted to sever a weapon wielding limb.
5. The Force is meant to be used to help others, if you must lift a
rock to clear a path then do so physically. This humility keeps us
connected to those we wish to help.
6. No one is beyond redemption, no matter who is ill or injured
they are to be treated equally. Those who have fallen to the
Dark side can be saved.
7. Secrecy is key to the survival of our order. We must be discreet
and never draw attention to ourselves. When working with Jedi
we can work openly as long as others believe us to be them.

Resources: Member funded, some degree of medical supplies, a temple on Naboo, lightsaber components and crystals, Three freighters, (for transporting refugees.)

, what I have so far.

 

[AriaDran]

Looks fun! I'll be making a character for this tonight :).

 

[Raif]

You could probably just have Aria train with them after she's Knighted.

 

[AriaDran]

But then I can't use the cool idea I spent all day thinking up for this character!


Silly boy.
