The Fulcrum Planet Planning

[Tsunami]

Its Midichlorian, and just a suggestion, but why don't you do it on Haruun Kal, the an almost human species, the only difference being that all of them are force sensitive.
I have a character that i'm trying to apply for this faction. Can anyone except him now? I did post it on the plaanning for independents as well, here's a link to the workshop.
I'm sorry if I sound needy or impatient.

The timeline hasn't started yet, can't accept characters till it does.

Ouch my face :(

Hey kinda OT but I can't find the actual Fulcrem thread. Also can any FS join or do they have to be former Jedi?

Don't have to be former anything.

I also concur with the look of the planet you've shown, Prophet. It looks very peaceful and....well, balanced :p Perhaps if there was a volcano somewhere in the mountain ranges then it really would be balanced.

Were you guys considering having the temple/HQ in one of the mountains or more sea-level?

Also, perhaps if you didn't want to have the planet itself being force sensitive, perhaps having the forests sensitive would be cool. Might be a great place for meditation or training, a clearing in a FS forest would make things interesting. Both light and dark plants, man eating flowers anyone? :D

 

[3.14Wookie]

I Agree with Vosrik, a force sensitive forest would be unique. It might also be interesting to have the Fulcrum have some type of teaching centered around force sensitivity in non intelligent things, meaning that they study things like force sensitive planets, and dark and light side plants. That would be awesome, especially if we could integrate them into the defense plans of the planet, because this faction stands a serious chance of ticking off both the Jedi and the Sith, and we will need a plan for the defense of our base.

I like the way it's fleshing out already. I would say I agree that there's really no need for the entire planet to be FS itself. It would make more sense and imho more interesting to have either force sensitive creatures, either intelligent or not, or maybe @Vosrik 's forest fs idea.

I definitely think our home base ought to be hidden away in the mountains. And of course there should be specific places either within or without of the home base, temple, whatever it's going to be, that are sacred and especially connected to the Force. I'd also like to see a cave or some such thing that has crystals for the making of lightsabers. I don't think it would be a great idea to send our recruits to the same places Jedi and Sith already know about for getting their crystals.

 

[Vosrik]

I heartily agree that the Fulcrum shouldn't be sending our Little brothers/sisters and Tyros to other well-known crystal caves. However, despite how useful a crystal cave would be right on our planet, I think it was discussed earlier that having said cave would make the planet more likely to be discovered (and coveted) by Jedi or Sith. If there was a crystal cave, we would have to keep it very secret; I'm not sure if it would be able to stay hidden, especially if such crystals are like beacons to any FS people. Perhaps having a crystal cave on a neighbouring planet would be preferable?

 

[3.14Wookie]

Okay, the one on the neighboring planet is genius. The best way to hide is in plain sight. But still, if anyone found one of our members in the cave and followed them, we would be in trouble. Espeacilly if its a sith, which would cause trouble, because sith don't want anyone to have anything. They would certinently try to murder all of us. But still, its a good idea.

 

[RedneckLoves]

Having a crystal cave on a neighboring planet is actually a really good idea. However, wouldn't that still be an issue if what you said about those caves attracting sith/jedi was true? I don't think it would be that hard to have a secret cave on our planet. It's supposed to be very remote from the sith and jedi, plus it's mountainous. And where there are mountains, there are caves. The crystal cave could be one the was remote even from our home base and took a long time to travel into before getting to the crystal cavern. Like it could be way way below the surface. That wouldn't be too unusual or hard to keep secret would it?

 

[Vosrik]

I guess it would be up to whatever @The Prophet decided, but unless someone has a better idea, having it on a neighbouring planet or hidden farther away from our headquarters does seem to be the best course of action.

Of course, this is all assuming he'd like to have a cave in the first place.

 

[e_black162_2]

I don't think we need a crystal cave nearby us. Sure its convenient, but as many of you have stated, it's also dangerous. I say we should just use the Jedi's caves. Because we excel in infiltration and stealth, we could easily swipe a few crystals when we need them. Some of us may even be operating under the jedi and thus, will be allowed to enter the caves freely. This way, we don't draw attention to ourselves, we train recruits in stealth skills, and we get the crystals.

As for the planetary FS issue, I think the FS jungle idea with light and dark plants/animals would be great as it provides the ideal place for meditation and force training. It also contributes to our faction's culture/tradition. The jungle/forest doesn't even have to be big. it can be a small portion of the planet's surface, indistinguishable from the rest of the jungle from the passerbys' points of view.

Lastly, I think our HQ should be in the mountains, preferably nearby the FS jungle. I imagine it as our own hidden mountain city like the Inca city Macchu Picchu here on Earth. Or maybe we could just make a temple like the Sith and Jedi.

 

[e_black162_2]

Or maybe we could make set up shop behind a waterfall? Since we're such a secretive faction, It'd be a great a great place to hide our base from potential explorers.

 

[Eagei]

Let me just throw in, I am offering to be the leader of a temple on the planet of adega (which is a world lored to have crystals that the old jed'ii used) that is in the mouth of a crystal cave. This could be the place the fulcrum craft their sabers.

Or maybe we could make set up shop behind a waterfall?

And I am totally stealing this idea for my temple if you don't mind, this is absolutely perfect for an idea that I already was fooling around with

Ha ha knock yourself out!

 

[RedneckLoves]

Secret bases/temples behind waterfalls is a beautiful idea. I love it! :D

 

[e_black162_2]

So do we have anything solid for our planet yet? If not, here are a few ideas we can talk about from previous posts and my own ideas:

• FS jungle idea with light and dark plants/animals would be great as it provides the ideal place for meditation and force training. It also contributes to our faction's culture/tradition. The jungle/forest doesn't even have to be big. it can be a small portion of the planet's surface, indistinguishable from the rest of the jungle from the passerbys' points of view.
• HQ in the mountains, preferably nearby the FS jungle. I imagine it as our own hidden mountain city like the Inca city Macchu Picchu here on Earth. Or maybe we could just make a temple behind a waterfall like I suggested earlier.
• Planet names: Amazonia, Tropicus Prime, Gubata, Selvaan, Ormann, (names given based on jungle idea)
  
• An uncivilized sentient race allied with us on the planet
• A distant crystal cave (other planet)

I know @Eagei is making a crystal cave off planet, so I guess that's covered, but everything else seems to be up for debate still.

 

[Vosrik]

That pretty much sums up our discussions so far, I think that The Prophet will have to make the final decision though. I do like the name Selvaan though, sounds pretty good.

 

[3.14Wookie]

I just really want to have a force sensitive forest, with light/dark creatures. Also, if their are random ws in my post, i'm sorry, my w is malfunctioning.
