+1 Jedi

[last_ofthe_jedi]

WHADDUP, TU SHANSHU? I'm Gen and I'm bringing this Jedi derp to the game! I'm a new as well and, though Luke has no castmates here and I don't think I know anyone currently playing here, I simply fell in love with the premise. It sounds amazing and I can't wait to dive right in. I think Luke will be a really excellent fit here.

This Luke is from immediately after the events of Return of the Jedi. For those who aren't so familiar with the space fantasy from a long time ago and far, far away, Luke is still very young and he hasn't quite mastered the art of being a Jedi (aka space wizard) but he's far wiser and more controlled than he's ever been. He's also an extremely gifted Jedi and has advanced much faster than most others due to the fact that he's the grandson of the freaking Force itself. It does that, apparently. He's very powerful but he's (mostly) humble, self-sacrificing, and quite friendly. He also has a very stubborn side, he's fiercely loyal, can be impatient and reckless, but also has a great sense of humor and has been known to mildly troll people.

In his canon Luke just achieved a great victory against the evil empire (sadly, losing his father in the process) and is a bit tired of war, frankly. He was also recently Force-lightning'd so he'll be a little sore and slow to move around for a few days after arriving. Because of this he might briefly be a bit on the cranky side, though as a Jedi he simply can't turn down an opportunity to help people. Once he recovers he'll step right up to the plate and do what he can.

He'll be rooming in the Wood Sector in suite Mu-Gai.

You can contact me on plurk at bagof4grapes or through my OOC contact/HMD post here.

I can't wait to play with you all!

CAN WALLY BORROW HIS LIGHTSABER. I mean.

Hi Gen, I'm Potato and I have this speedster derp right here from Young Justice. Welcome! /o/

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Only if he buys Luke dinner first NO. GOSH! IT'S A DANGEROUS WEAPON.

Hi, Potato! :D Thanks!

[runrightround]

Do leftovers count. COME ON. THE CHANCES OF LOSS OF LIMB ARE VERY LOW OK.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Um wow, cheap. That won't even get you a feel. HEY LUKE KNOWS ALL ABOUT LOSING LIMBS, IT'S NOT FUN OKAY?

[runrightround]

Welp, too rich for Wally's blood then. YEAH BUT HE HAS A COOL REPLACEMENT AT LEAST, RIGHT?

Hi, I'm Pur, welcome! I just play Solomon Wreath here, who happens to be a Necromancer with some dark-sidesque abilities (albeit sans the force lightning).

Good to see some oldschool showing up! :3

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Ooooo! I'm sure they'll have some very interesting CR. Is he a typical Necromancer with generally bad intentions or does he fight for the good guys?

And ha, you know, I've never thought of Star Wars as oldschool before. When I was a kid the original movies were still considered new films and I actually remember when the old toys and merchandise were being stocked in stores. >_> /is old

But yeah, I guess it is oldschool pffff.

[peacefullywreathed]

Psh, that just means you've both aged well!

Sort-of both! Detailed information is available in the setting section of his app, but in a nutshell Necromancy in his canon is a religion as well as a magic, and their ultimate goal is to 'rescue' humanity from death by making everyone immortal ... by using a method which requires the sacrificial murder of half the planet. Most Necromancers claim it's 'saving' humanity, but in reality most of them are just selfish bastards too scared of death to face it.

Solomon is eccentric because he actually does believe it would save humanity, and he's more self-sacrificing than most Necromancers are. He's basically a jerk with a heart of gold--he means well, but he's been brainwashed. He's smart enough to snap out of it if he wants to, but he doesn't want to, because that means facing the truth about what he's been doing wrong his whole life. So he keeps compounding the issue by shoving aside pesky morality feelings.

That being said he's reached a point in Tushan where he's realised he doesn't have the stones to go through with the whole mass-murder thing, but he's flatly denying it in the interim.

... It's a long nutshell, but I swear it's the nutshell. <.< >.>

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Ahhhhh I see! Hm, they would be very interesting to throw at each other then, wouldn't they? Luke could definitely be of some use in the beating-sense-into area. He's good at that.

[peacefullywreathed]

I agree, yes! I don't tend to plot things out in detail until I know how well the characters mesh, but I'm taking a look at Luke's open post now to see if there's somewhere I can throw Sol into it.

Hi! I'm Stareyes and I play Iroh here, as well as Zelgadis Graywords and Tazendra. Iroh and Zel know what it's like to have Complicated family matters.

Mark Hamill also voices Iroh's brother, who is a bit too into Evil Emperor mode.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

IROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ugh I've been wanting to throw Luke at some AtLA characters for ever, particularly Iroh! Both for the wise old man with powers thing (Luke's all growed up now but he's still very young and still occasionally needs wisdom), and also because I think it'd be hilarious for Luke have a cold or something someday and then go talk to Iroh while his voice is all deep and raspy. Give Iroh a moment of "bzuh???", LOL!

[whitelotustile]

Everyone needs a bit of Wise Old Mentor in their lives. And, yes, any audio resemblance to Ozai will be hilarious.

[raavashing]

hey there! I enjoyed our test drive thread and I'd like to throw Wan here at Luke in game sometime. I think they'd get along (eventually).

[last_ofthe_jedi]

dkjfsldf yes, that was great! Thanks for playing with me. :)

As I told Stareyes I've been dying to play with some AtLA-universe characters, particularly any benders. And yes, I think Luke and Wan will eventually get along, especially if Luke meets him in a situation where he knows he can trust him. He was a little bit troll-y in that thread, haha. >_>

[raavashing]

He was and it was great. :D

[denyamenti]

Hello Gen! I'm Li and I play Jack Frost, River Tam and Yami no Bakura here. Sooo excited to see Luke in the game!! Welcome to the turtle!

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Oooo, hello! I must say that River is one of the reasons I took a look at this game! <3

I've been wanting to play with a River for so long! We even had one in one of my others games but she dropped right after I apped, lol. I think she and Luke might have some very interesting CR, particularly if they figure out that they can telepath at each other, heh.

[problematical]

I'm glad! and flaily I will toss River at him ASAP!

[burnseternal]

Hey Gen, and welcome to the game! Luke Skywalker sounds like an absolutely perfect fit for this setting, and I look forward to seeing him around. I'm Fey, and I've got Saint Walker here from Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Hi, thank you! :D

I can't say I'm familiar with the show (or even the entire Green Lantern universe, pfff /fails) but I love all new CR!

[skybluejeep]

TOTALLY LATE TO THE PARTY BUT

Hi there, I'm Lis, I play Stiles from Teen Wolf, and Arnold Rimmer from Red Dwarf. Both of which have canon references to Star Wars so um. That's gonna be awkward.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

SWEEEEET. Haha I've actually plotted a bit with a Stiles in one of my others games and it'd be great and hilarious to get CR with yours too!

[skybluejeep]

Excellent. I'm officially on hiatus until Friday, but I'll tag you when I'm back!
