[BLACKOUT]
STAR WARS: EPISODE VII -

A new day has dawned for a once dark galaxy.

It has been five years since the Empire's defeat at the BATTLE OF ENDOR, and, with the Emperor dead, they have become leaderless and divided...a scattered REMNANT of it's former glory. As the Imperials quarrel amongst themselves and carve out their own fifdoms among the stars, the NEW REPUBLIC continues to grow as it attempts to bring the galaxy together in a democratic new order.

But, it is easier said than done.

Many systems and planets, having suffered through years of oppression under the Emperor's iron hand, are hesitant to join this New Republic. LEIA ORGANA, the acting Minister of State, is tasked with convincing these worlds to join the New Republic, and usher in a new age of freedom and peace to the entire galaxy.

Meanwhile, with the blessings of Head of State Mom Mothma, LUKE SKYWALKER has begun preparations to begin training a new order of Jedi knights in the ways of the Force. To meet this end, Master Skywalker has begun to transform the ancient Massassi temple on Yavin IV into the first Jedi Praxeum the galaxy has seen in decades.

But under the veil of hope lies hidden dangers.

The Imperial Remnant, though scattered, is still a major threat to galactic peace.

The Sith, seemingly defeated with the death of Palpatine and the redemtion of Vader, still loom like a dark cloud over the New Jedi Order, as they attempt to restore their name throughout the entire galaxy.

With the Empire fractured, the Hutts and other crime syndicates have begun to work their hands into many new worlds, expanding their shady dealings and growing in power and threat.

Can the fledgling Republic survive the hurdles and multitude of dangers it will surely face, or will it collapse into ruin?

Only time will tell...​

In this RPG, posters will be able to play as either their favorite SW character, from the movies or the Expanded Universe, or create one of their own.
The premise of the RPG is kept simple on purpose in order to encourage creative role-playing and ideas. If you've read the EU, forget it all. Here we forge our own path in our favorite Galaxy Far, Far, Away.
You're only limit is your imagination.

Other than that, standard RPG rules apply.

What will this RPG bring to the RPG forums: Hopefully, a Star Wars RPG that can last. As well as give the Basement a much needed sci-fi game.

Title of the RPG you would like to propose: Star Wars: The RPG
With each season being given an Episode number (starting with VII since it takes place after the original trilogy), along with it's own title which will be decided at the end of the previous season.

What can you bring to Star Wars: The RPG:

How often can you post IN A DAY in this RPG:

Sample Post (write a sample post that is at least 4 paragraphs long and containing at least 3 lines of dialogue):

Do you know how to post pictures on the Hype:
 
I'm in. I'm assuming that the "two Sith" rule no longer applies? If so, I'll get in touch with my inner Dark Side.

I doesn't have to apply if you don't want it to.
This is our era of SW. We forge ahead how we see fit. If you want the new Sith to no longer follow Darth Bane's rule, go for it.
Hell, carve yourself a new Sith Empire in the Unknown Regions, or what not.

Well, you say that they want to "restore their name," and I can't see them doing that two at a time. Either way, I guess I could just be an evil Force-sensitive person. No big deal.
 
Well, they could restore the name, but recognize that the previous Empire had considerable flaw, given that Palpatine and Vader were vanquished.

Either way, I'm in.
 
I'd like to play. Maybe as Han, Lando. Or, hell, even Wedge.

The Jedi are trying to restore their name. The Sith are what sullied it.

But there's plenty of ways to go about remaking the Sith. Maybe play a Force Sensitive who stumbles upon an ancient Sith holocron that holds secrets of the old Sith Empire?
Or perhaps said Sensitive stumbles into the tomb of an old Sith Lord, such as Naga Sadow or Freedon Nadd, and they become the apprentice to the Sith Lord's spirit?
 
No character reservations, *******!
 
Just to let everyone know, if this gets off the ground, there'd only be allowed one character at first. That way the main players can be evenly distributed.

Also, there'd be no dibs. So it'd be first come, first serve.
 
The choice between playing a New Republic senator or one of the New Jedi Order is paralyzing. Though if nobody beats me to Luke when the game goes up, that oughta make my choice a lot easier.
 
Y'know what, I will just go with an evil Force-sensitive character for now. I'll build him up to a full-fledged Sith in due time.
 
Yeah, one should not rush to bring back the Sith. It should be handled with great care and build it up. Make it more of a growing darkness than some quick splash, or what not.

And, speaking of Sith, here's a little Sith proverb for the hell of it...

There is no fear, there is power.
There is no death, there is immortality.
There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side.
I am the Heart of Darkness.
I know no fear,
but rather I instill it in my enemies.
I am the destroyer of worlds.
I know the power of the Dark Side.
I am the fire of hate.
All the Universe bows before me.
I pledge myself to the Darkness.
For I have found true life,
in the death of the light.

My morning prayer. :yay:
 
I'm in. I can not WAIT to apply for the character I'm going to apply for.

****ing badass if there ever was one.
 
Most certainly in.

Post-ROTJ ftw!

Are we ignoring the countless EU novels set in this time-frame?
 
I always love how the Sith go on such a power trip, but they're never able to establish a lasting order without the Jedi taking them down.
 
I think it's safe to say I'll be interested in this one.
 
Most certainly in.

Yes, and no. We go in the direction we see fit, but characters and storylines from the EU novels can certainly be adapted by players for their arcs if they so wish.

Personally, I'd love to do an arc with Grand Admiral Thrawn down the line, if at all possible.
 
Oh....OOOOHHH....OOOOOOOOAAAAAAUUUUGGGHHHOOOOOOOHHHHHHH....

I'm sorry. It's just that, whenever someone mentions Thrawn, I geekgasm.

Mentions what? Grand Admiral Thrawn? One of the best EU villains ever created?
