Character Creation Guidelines

Below are the Guidelines for Character Creation, please read them well, and abide by them or there could be consequences.

1. In order to have advanced levels of Force Powers, your character must master that Force Powers basic level - meaning, in order to have one, you have to have another. Also, no character is allowed to start out as a Master of one of the seven Lightsaber Forms unless they are at least ranked Jedi Master, or the Father/Mother of the Dark Side Scourge.

2. Jedi Initiates, Jedi Padawan, Nephews/Nieces and Sons/Daughters CANNOT start out as any of the Jedi Classes (Guardian, Consular, Sentinel). Instead they must follow these limitations:

Jedi Initiates/Nephews & Nieces: Only Tier One force powers are available to Jedi Initiates/Nephews & Nieces. They can start with 4 universal force powers, and can only know Shii-Cho - being an Apprentice of the form.

Jedi Padawan/Sons & Daughters: Only Tier One force powers are available to Jedi Padawan/Sons & Daughters. They can start with 3 universal force powers and 3 light/dark side affiliated force powers, and can only know Shii-Cho - being a Journeyman of the form.

3. Jedi Knights/Brothers & Sisters have to start out as one of the following three Jedi Classes: Guardian, Consular or Sentinel. Tier One and Tier Two force powers are available to Jedi Knights/Brothers & Sisters. What's available to them is limited by the Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular or Jedi Sentinel classes. As a Jedi Knight/Brother & Sister you start with Shii-Cho at Expert-level, and may have one additional Expert level Lightsaber Form. Take note that you do not have to fill up your Template with your Force Power limit, you'll be able to add more given permission or if qualified to do so.

4. Jedi Masters ^/Father/Mother have to start out as one of the following three Jedi Classes: Guardian, Consular or Sentinel. Tier One, Tier Two and Tier Three force powers are available to Jedi Masters ^/Father/Mother. What's available to them is limited by the Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular or Jedi Sentinel classes. As a Jedi Masters ^/Father/Mother you start with Shii-Cho at Expert-level, and may have one Master level Lightsaber Form. Take note that you do not have to fill up your Template with your Force Power limit, you'll be able to add more given permission or if qualified to do so.

5. Only a Jedi Guardian can have Juyo/Vaapad as one of his/her Lightsaber Forms - however, only after they've mastered at least 2 Lightsaber Forms. Why? Juyo/Vaapad is recognized as the most aggressive, and difficult to utilize against an opponent. Also, Juyo/Vaapad is the only Lightsaber Form capable of blocking force powers such as Force Lightning, and deflecting it back at the caster.

6. For those of you interested in becoming a part of the Dark Side Scourge, please realize that the Dark Side Scourge will be subject to the first Arc of this Forum's storyline, and also keep in mind that the Dark Side Scourge will only presently exist in the Forum DURING the Rise of the Sith Arc, and that Arc only - though, that Arc will most likely last a while.

7. For non force-sensitives, you may start with one primary weapon (two if you're a member of the Bounty Hunter's Guild or the Galactic Alliance Defense Force), one sidearm, and up to 3 different gadgets with only 2 abundance for each of those gadgets if they serve in quantities per thread.

8. For non force-sensitives, Bounty Hunter's & Galactic Alliance Defense Force militants may start with a single suit of armor; if you're not a part of any of those two Factions, you cannot start with a suit of armor.

9. If you're a member of the New Jedi Order, only Jedi Ace's may start with their own Starship - and it must be no larger then a Transport.

10. Jedi Initiates/Nephews & Nieces CANNOT start with a Lightsaber. They must construct their own under the guidance of a Jedi Knight/Brother & Sister upon becoming a Jedi Padawan or a Son/Daughter.
