[SWSE] Dawn of Defiance <OoC> {Not accepting}

[Dallas Moonrain]

Xylee now has a background. I had it mostly written in my head, but family in town over the weekend and busy at work today meant it took me a while to get it in.

Also, I left some of the dates fuzzy because I wasn't sure from the first post how long after Order 66 went out that you were planning on setting the game. If you think anything needs some tweaking, just let me know.

@Dion:
That's a fallacy I won't answer to. Just because there aren't any known, the books, comics, and movies only focused on the major players, not the minors like padawans, or Jedi that don't matter.

And your case isn't a fallacy either? Just because someone played a Wookiee Jedi in a game doesn't mean you can readily assume that they will be in abundance. Its a legitimate backstory that can be fleshed out; maybe the character met a Jedi in hiding and gave them their lightsaber.

I won't deny that my denial may be a fallacy in of itself. However, I'd rather hear the argument come from the player who's going to play said Jedi, not some [possible] friend of the player.

So with that, I'm going to ask you, Dion, to please stand down, and let me address the possible soon-to-be Jedi's character' owner.

Not trying to pick a fight; just pointing things out is all. But yeah, I'll back off.

I've been looking at Destinies and none seem to fit my character. Is it absolutely necessary for me to choose one?

I concur with this statement and eagerly await a response.

Talyn the Jedi. I've described a good deal of the back story to the ST. RP to find out more? o_O If it isn't too late.

@Anatarei:
If you remember, any and all Padawans that are out of Coruscant are, 99% of the time, with a Jedi Master. Doubly so when you have a lightsaber in hand/on body.
Further, as per the Yoda, you don't know if he was able to save all of the Jedi that were stationed on Kashyyk with him. So, just because Yoda was there, doesn't mean he's your "panacea" for keeping yourself, and master alive. If you remember, the Clone Troopers were anything but kind to the Jedi they were protecting/following pre-Order 66. If anything, they were absolutely merciless in eliminating the Jedi.

Did you actually read the character's provided back story? He was with a master - a Bith. The Master was cut down in short order because he was obviously standing out amongst all the wookiees. But Lowookar fit in better amongst his surroundings, both by looking like other Wookiees and (likely) by not being right there, drawing as much attention. From what I remember of the battle for Kashyyk, the wookies were often fighting by themselves, rather than always alongside Clone Troopers. Most of the footage we see in your link even shows Clones attacking Jedi directly leading them, but a Padawan most certainly wouldn't have been leading them, and if he was a very new arrival, could easily have been missed by troops.

I certainly don't think Yoda went about saving his Jedi brethren (though that makes him one cold mother ********). But his presence, and his escape, likely caused a fair amount of problems and difficulties amongst the Clone troopers, who probably had him as an extremely high priority. It certainly could have distracted them and/or lessened their capacity to hunt down other Jedi, particularly those who look just like the indigenous species and aren't swinging their lighsabers around willy-nilly.

But, well... *Shrug* Whatever. I put it together for funzies. I'd be most interested in exactly what you considered an acceptable explanation for a surviving beginner Padawan, as your general assessment seems to indicate that there is no way that any Jedi should have survived, much less one who was just starting out with almost no real experience (as is the case with first level characters). I certainly don't expect that I can change your mind.

Thanks for the support, btw. I appreciate it.

And I JUST deleted my Legacy book... I'll get it again, see what Backgrounds fit my little Jawa. And about the Language barrier, don't worry. I didn't plan on the party knowing Jawa or the Trade Language, but that's a challenge I'd be undertaking, how to communicate with the other party members.

Well there you go: it will be your Jawa's destiny to learn languages so to better communicate deals amongst different species. That sounds like an Education destiny to me.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

Maybe make it more along the lines of finding ways to better communicate with other races, since I think Jawas are like Wookies in the sense of 'Can understand langauges, but are unable to speak them'.
