You are a thirteen-year-old Zabrak girl and a Jedi Initiate, a hopeful Apprentice, named Roa Koo’lade.

You have just completed your Initiate Trials, and you are now awaiting the final decisions by the Knights judging your class. During your practice match, you defeated a Bith named Bi’teme. You also watched a younger Bith named K’nona beat the fail out of a Zeltron trainee named Dhevel in a rematch after he cheated the first time.

The younglings break up into individual groups. Most of them file out of the chamber for the refreshers or a quick drink of water. Master Drallig and the present Knights gather together and begin speaking in hushed tones. Bi’teme walks over to K’nona.

“You might want to have your ears checked out for any damage, Rali,” he says in concern.

“That sounds like a good idea,” she admits. “They’re still ringing a bit.”

They both head to a hallway that leads to the healers’ wing. Dhevel watches them go through narrowed eyes before marching down yet another hallway, one that nobody has left through. It’s clear that he wants to be alone to fume. Or to plot his revenge.

You—

>Follow everybody else for some refreshment. (Guardian route encounter)
>Follow Bi’teme and K’nona to see if she’ll be alright. (Sentinel route encounter)
>Follow Dhevel and make him apologize to K’nona. (Gray Jedi route encounter)
>Stay in the chamber. (No route encounters)

>Follow Dhevel.
>My plan of starting early worked!

You get up and surreptitiously glance around the chamber. None of the remaining trainees are looking in your direction. Neither are Master Drallig and the Knights, but you don’t think for a second that they would miss you going down the same hallway that Dhevel left through.

Well, whatever. It’s not like they can condemn you for trying to ensure justice for K’nona.

You keep a good thirty meters behind Dhevel, relying on your hearing and a minute application of the Force to track the Zeltron as he turns corners and passes through silent corridors. You recognize his path as leading to the Room of the Thousand Fountains—you wouldn’t have expected that of him.

Maybe he’s planting a bomb there, an insidious voice whispers in the back of your head. There’s a myth among the younglings about Bruck Chun, a Dark Jedi who tried to assassinate Master Yoda with a bomb in the Room of the Thousand Fountains. You doubt that Dhevel would have the guts to do something like that, but you increase your pace regardless.

Just in case.

>>22958468
But Grey Jedi isn't a path, it's a philosophy.

It's skirting the Dark Side without being corrupted by it.

>You guys took the Grey Jedi route.
>Just as planned.

You reach the entrance archway to the Room and duck behind the corner of the wall. Peering around the lintel, you see that Dhevel has stopped further inside the Room in front of a babbling stream. He shoves his hands in his pocket and stares into the reflective surface of the water.

Well, he isn’t doing anything wrong by being here. You, on the other hand, look like a spy, or even worse a creepy girl stalking her crush. Suppressing a shudder, you stride into the Room and stop a moderate distance away from him.

“Dhevel,” you say.

“Roa,” he replies, without turning around. “What do you want?”

“Apologize to K’nona.”

“Isn’t her beating me enough humiliation already?”

“She only injured your pride,” you say coldly. “You might have permanently injured her ears.”

Dhevel whirls, his teeth bared in a snarl. “And why should I care? That’s just one less rival for me to deal with!”

“What the hell is your problem?” you snap back. “Just let go and say sorry! It’ll take up maybe five seconds of your precious time!”

“Easy for you to say,” he says angrily. “You won your match.”

“And I didn’t cheat to do it.” You and Dhevel glare daggers at each other. “Now. Go. Apologize.”

“Fuck off!”

I dont think you should have clear, defined routes with clear, defined rewards like that. If you do that you get into Bioware territory where people are picking a route because it will give them +5 Gray Jedi points, not because they think its the right thing to do. And lets not forget you can always make a case for why X is a dark side action instead of a light side one and vice versa.

Let us define the reasoning behind our actions rather than letting our actions define who we are.

>votsno reducing

Maybe, captcha. Maybe.

>Diplomacy.

You exhale in frustration, but refrain from further yelling. Maybe a different line of reasoning could work.

“Look,” you begin, trying not to snarl, “If you apologize, then other people may just start thinking better of you.”

“Oh really?” Dhevel’s voice is nonchalant, but you think you detect a hint of interest in it.

“Yeah,” you say. “Some people might even help you out with your lightsaber skills, if you think you need it.”

The Zeltron narrows his eyes, and for a tense moment you think you’ve gone too far, but he merely stares at you in a calculating way. “Would you help me?”

“I might,” you reply cautiously.

“Great.” Dhevel suddenly unhooks and activates his lightsaber. “How about a show of good faith? One duel with you, and I’ll go to K’nona.”

You splutter in shock. “What? Here? Isn’t there a better place for this?”

“Chicken?”

>Fight him.
>Convince him to go to a training room.
>>
>>22959814
Yes. We have to.
>>
>>22959868
Convince him to go to a training room.
For one, the Knights will be looking for us soon. Better to be seen dueling in a training room rather than in a room reserved for contemplation.
Two, if we're in a training room, even if we're late in getting back to hear the results, we won't be penalized as badly, since we'll have the excuse of training.
Third, we are more likely to hear the warning that the Knights are ready to give out our results if we're in the training room.
>>
We're not fighting him like this. We don't know what he's up to, and it serves no purpose. He will never be a loyal ally, so we don't need to appease him. Tell him to apologize, and we'll see him after the ceremony.

Different anon here, but I want to go Gray Jedi because I want to master our emotions, not reject them like the Jedi or be mastered by them like the Sith.

No you weren't.
All you said was that you wanted to go off and be a smuggler and have adventure.
On the road of being Gray, it's more than likely we will have adventure, but having adventure, or being a smuggler, is no way the end goal of being a Gray Jedi.
So of course he'll assume that all you want is to be a smuggler Jedi adventurer; that's the only thing you said.

>Convince him to go to a training room.

“No, just not stupid,” you retort. “Why fight here when we can just go to a training room?”

Dhevel looks like he’s about to argue, again, before he snorts derisively and deactivates his weapon. “Fine, whatever the lady says.”

You wordlessly turn your back on him and walk out the entrance arch. There’s a suite of dueling chambers not too far from here, you recall, not particularly large ones, but suitable enough for two people. You just hope you don’t run into anybody there, especially not any full Jedi. That might lead to some awkward questions.

Several minutes pass as you lead Dhevel through the winding hallways towards your destination. The Zeltron doesn’t say a word in that time, but you can feel his anticipation building in the Force.

Finally you reach a low-ceilinged, metal-walled corridor with twelve doors running its length, six on each side. You select the furthest one down on the left.

“No cheap shots,” you say as you and he enter the room, “No low blows, and no Force tricks. Just lightsabers. Savvy?”

“As Master Koo’lade wishes,” he says sarcastically.

The training room has bare metal walls just like the corridor outside and several illumination strips set into the ceiling. An eight-meter-diameter circle of red paint takes up most of the floor. You and Dhevel take places at opposite ends of the circle; you simultaneously activate your lightsabers with twin snap-hisses.

If we beat him by force there's as good a chance of him seeking vengeance and/or holding a grudge against us for cheating.

You let Dhevel take the initiative with the first strike. He charges at you with a textbook thrust; your lightsaber flashes down to knock it aside before swinging back in a horizontal slash aimed his chest. Dhevel barely manages to leap back from your counterattack.

You’re a tall, statuesque girl, very strong for your age. The Zeltron is slightly taller than you, with better reach, but you’re probably as strong as or even stronger than he is. With both of your respective styles primarily focused on using physical strength to overwhelm opponents, this is an advantage for you.

Dhevel abruptly flips his lightsaber into a reverse grip. An interesting move—that grip is signature of Shien, and while it allows a user to increase the power and range of their strikes, it is also unwieldy and imprecise compared to your conventional two-hand fore-grip.

You attack this time with a mighty overhead slash. Dhevel catches it, clearly straining to hold you back with only one hand. You notice him draw his other hand back, probably in preparation for a Force push, and immediately you smash your blade down against his again, almost breaking through his guard. A third strike to his midsection, this one also blocked, makes him stagger back.

Pressing the attack, you pound away at his defense with swift, powerful blows, driving him back across the circle. Dhevel manages to duck the last one and drops low to sweep your legs out, knocking you to the ground with an undignified oof. You look up to see the Zeltron raising his lightsaber high and manage to roll away before he stabs down, sinking his blade into the durasteel floor up to the hilt.

Scowling, you jump to your feet, stepping forward and hammering your lightsaber into his so hard that Dhevel skids back half a meter. You step forward again and drive him to his knees with another overhead slash.

Just doing the "lol we're stronger so we're in the right" is just going to send Dhevel on a power seeking trip to the dark side. Sure it's a given that the rival is going to fall to the dark side, but we don't need to be the reason he does so.

Just defeat him and keep the cheating/gloating to a minimum and try to steer Dhevel towards repenting for his actions.

We make our point more effectively by slapping his shit fairly and saying "There's always a bigger fish, Dhevel. See what happens when you cheat to get by? When the bigger fish shows up, you lose. You might have stood a chance, if you spent less time scheming ways to cheat, and more time on honest practice."

>2/2

Dhevel looks desperate as you slowly bear down on down on your crossed blades, pushing them ever closer to his face. He clearly can’t resist for much longer with only one hand, and he can’t change his grip now.

Instead he sends you flying back with a Force push. For the second time in ten seconds, you fall flat on your ass against the cold, hard floor, this time dangerously close to the edge of the circle. On the opposite side, Dhevel sprints forward and leaps high into the air, howling as he stabs his lightsaber down at you. You jerk yourself to the side, ignoring the searing heat from the laser sword as it embeds itself into the ground where your head was a moment ago.

“Got you,” he pants. Now he’s almost straddling you, crouching over your left leg.

“Nope,” you reply, grabbing his shoulder and shoving as hard you can. Dhevel rolls with the momentum and manages to rise to his feet, but by then you’re already up and swinging a diagonal slash down on his head.

The duel shifts back and forth across the circle as you and Dhevel—who’s returned to a forehand grip—hack away at each other with brutal abandon. Both of you smash your lightsabers into each other’s again and again with the screeching hums and thunderous crackles of clashing energy, searching for weaknesses, trying to overwhelm and pummel down the other with every scrap of power you can muster.

Finally, he overextends himself with a lunging thrust and stumbles a bit, weakening his footing. With a flick of your wrist, you swat his blade out of his hand, and then bring yours to his throat.
>>
“I win,” you say hoarsely, breathing hard. Your heart is pounding and your lungs feel raw, but you barely sense the stinging in the rush of adrenaline. “You see? You can win without resorting to cheap tricks.”

“That’s…that’s because…” Dhevel pauses to gulp in more air. “You’re a—”

Whatever he was about to say was cut off by the sound of clapping. Both of you go ashen as you realize you have an audience.

This.

best response ever

"Do you even lift?"

cause you know the forms we use requires strength just as much as endurance light but frequent reps dude lets go work out you technique is good just gotta "buff you up"

You guys are enormous Faggot. I really was looking forward to making and guiding one of these threads, but this is just as bad as the rest of the board.

well reacting to the audience first might be a good idea. If its a master bow and apoligize for fighting without supervision. Otherwise wait for him to speak first.

Now I'm not too keen on random memespouting myself, but you just proved yourself to be the bigger cunt here.

Besides, lift is a decently mediocre pun, since he just force pushed us and it could be inferred that we were referring to the Force.

>>22964704
Gee, a tripfag was mean to me. It sure sucks THEIR opinions carry so much weight.
Secure trips are for jerks
>>
>>22964704
Dude, it's actually appropriate here. Form V requires a good deal of raw physical power to use effectively, although Shien does not require quite as much strength as Djem So. The format is silly, but the thing is that we beat him at the end there by overpowering him, and that's fixable. He just needs to lift.
>>
>>22964704
Is it just me or has a massive rash of shitty name and tripfags sprouted up on /tg/ tonight?

for some reason some people like attaching names for participating in quests as if their opinion will mean more because of it.

>>22964786
They adopt their names in quest, which is at least... somewhat permissible. Keeps voting neat and orderly. The problems show up when they keep their fucking trips on, instead of dropping them like a polite person should.

>>22964851
Personally I've used names in quest threads before to help with counting of votes. Thats about it.

Leaning against the wall is a male Kel Dor. Most of his wrinkled, orange-skinned face is covered by goggles and a breathing mask that protects him from Coruscant’s oxygen-rich atmosphere. He’s dressed in the full robes and tunic of a Jedi, with a lightsaber clipped to his belt.

Council Master Plo Koon looks first at you and then at Dhevel.

“…so, Dhevel,” you say without missing a beat, “Do you happen to lift? Our style requires both strength and endurance, so you might want to build up your upper—”

“She started it!” Dhevel shrieks, pointing an accusing finger at you. “You saw her point her lightsaber at my throat, didn’t you, Master Koon? She attacked me!”

“…body strength…” That complete asshole.

Plo Koon sighs. “And here I was, about to praise two younglings for their dedication and work ethic.”

“This wasn’t a grudge match,” you explain quickly, sending mental hate-beams at Dhevel. Given the nature of the Force, they might just burn him alive, but you won’t get your hopes up. “Dhevel just wanted a practice spar with me.”

“Ah, I see,” Plo Koon says in That Way that tells you he doesn’t believe you. “Well, in that case, might I offer you two a few suggestions for improvement?”

“Of course, Master,” you say somewhat warily.

“First, Youngling Arjun, you’re skilled with the Shien reverse grip, but you may not want to use it against an opponent who can match you in strength. Yours today could have disarmed you multiple times if she had had greater experience. I liked the timing of your Force pushes, but you telegraphed your follow-up strikes far in advance. You may also want to use a greater variety of attacks.”

“Youngling Koo’lade, you’re one of the best Djem So practitioners I have ever seen among the trainees. Barring a few common mistakes, I haven’t seen a single fault in your dueling abilities. However, while I esteem the values of honor and fair play just like you seem to, you may want to incorporate more of the Force into your dueling, both to temper and complement it.”

Both of you bow respectfully. “Thank you, Master.”

“It’s no trouble to aid hardworking initiates,” Plo Koon says. He glances at the wall-mounted chronometer. “One minute left. Youngling Arjun, you may want to get back to the testing chamber. Youngling Koo’lade, would you mind staying for a moment? I have something I’d like to discuss with you.”

>Stay.
>Leave with Dhevel.

"Of course, Master."

When a Jedi Master tells you to stay a moment, you do so. At least, as long as he's standing right the fuck there.

To the rest of you, I was just disappointed. The OP seemed like he was willing to put a lot of time into this thread, and meme-spouting bullshit is indicative of a bad direction the thread is heading. There are plenty of threads on here where that is appropriate; this one really wasn't. That's not to say that humor doesn't have a place in threads/games like this, but that should grow organically, rather than forced injections of tired memes. That's what other sites are for.

I won't talk off-topic anymore, it was just something that bothered me. I liked this thread and just wanted it to stay Star Wars-y.

“Yes, Master Koon,” you say. You have a feeling you know what he wants to talk about.

Dhevel stares back at you as he slowly walks out the door. He’s probably on the same page as you.

Master Koon waits until the sound of the other initiate’s footsteps have faded into the distance before speaking.

“I’ll be direct about it, Youngling Koo’lade,” he says. “I want to take you as my Apprentice.”

You were expecting this, but it still feels like the floor has dropped out from under your feet.

“I-I’d be honored, Master Koon,” you stammer. “But why me? There has to be someone better than me you could make this offer to…”

“Perhaps,” Koon agrees. “But what I look for is compatibility, not quality. I look at you and I see someone I can teach all that I have learned. I see someone who can appreciate placing justice over protocol and focus on doing good over everything else.”

“I will admit that sometimes I become frustrated with the Council’s…deliberation. The Kel Dor people have a strong black and white view of morality, and I see that you do too. You may have restrained yourself from calling out Youngling Arjuna earlier to avoid interrupting the Trials, but the moment you had a chance you took it upon yourself to see out the justice due to Youngling K’nona, regardless of the disapproval of your elders. I admire that.”

You cringe. “Master, now that you describe it that way, I seemed a bit too hotheaded.”

“I was, too, at your age,” he replies, shrugging. “I still am, to be honest.”

You have to smile at that.

“So will you accept my offer, Youngling Koo’lade?”

>Accept. This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
>Decline. It’s unfair to the other trainees.
>>
>>22965736
Anakin was mentioned in the sense of already being accomplished so it's right before or during the clone wars so the quest will probably end with all of us getting murdered by anakin

PLO KOON IS THE BADDEST MOTHER-FUCKER AROUND. I remember ALWAYS picking Plo Koon for this one Jedi game on the PS1. Plo Koon for LIFE.

However, any chance we could know the outcome if we hadn't? And also, could we be courteous in some way?
>>
>>22965770
Decline.
I like Plo Koon and all, but I'm not sure if his Right and Wrong worldview is compatible with what we want our Jedi to become.

Specialization is for droids.

Yes, but I think it'd just push us over to the dark side. Either way we'd have to talk to Windu about it.
>>
>>22966012
>>22965972
Being a Grey Jedi is all about using the Dark Side without being corrupted by it. The philosophy is kind of like in the JEdi Academy games--there are no Dark Side force powers, only Dark Side Jedi.

Grey Jedi are either completely crazy or completely stable. It takes that kind of mind to tell the Dark Side that, no, it is in fact -your- tool.

“I accept, Master Koon,” you say. You won’t let this opportunity slip away. “I would be honored if you would be my teacher.”

Koon’s breather mask prevents you from seeing his mouth, but you can practically feel his smile emanating from him.

“Marvelous,” he declared. “I would be honored for you to learn from me, my Padawan.”

He gestures to the door. “Shall we return to the testing chamber? My fellow Knights have likely already chosen their Padawans from among your peers.”

If we end up going to the outer rim or a similar area and find some jedi ruins (since as a grey jedi hanging out in the republic isnt a great idea since both sides will have members who see us as enemy) will there be chances to learn some ancient stuff such as the original form VII.

>>22966721
Wait Jedi construct their own lightsabers? I'll be honest, I know near nothing about the setting (and as such haven't been doing much voting or idea suggesting). What are the different ways of doing this?
>>
>>22966721
Is our jedi (a girl, right?) currently using a two-handed stance?

I would say either a longer than standard handle (think a Light-Claymore), or as someone suggested before switching to main-hand saber and off-hand blaster.

Or even have it as a Hand-and-a-Half Saber.

Our form focuses on strength so a long handle saber would work best (more leverage) and as far as colour I'd say we go into the depths of one of the sources of crystals and find one there.
>>
>>22966741
Yes, they construct a lightsaber that becomes "theirs". When they are first chosen as an apprentice, their master gives them a 'saber to use, but this is not the one that will be "theirs". The construction of one's own lightsaber is a major rite of passage among the Jedi. And there is a HUGE range of variance. Different hilt shapes and lengths (curved hilts are popular with practitioners of Form II, which is basically lightsaber fencing, for example), different blade lengths to preference, dual-phase sabers which have a switch to adjust length with the press of a button to catch your foe off-guard, Shoto (which are essentially a lightsaber main-gauche), hell lightsaber polearms are even a thing although very rare (Kazdan Paratus being the only known Jedi to use one), dual 'sabers that hook together into a double-bladed, there's all kinds of options.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber
>>22966786
Dual-phase 'saber, doesn't actually require any extra power, is just harder to make.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dual-phase_lightsaber
>>
>>22966786
One of those old power cables/box combos, so we can plug it in and make it in to a slightly less flexible yet 10+ foot thick as hell Lance Saber.

Or, another suggestion, make a guard (either cross-guard, knuckle guard, or even a guard similar to a foil's) out of one of the saber-proof materials.

I vote either Hand-and-a-Half or Light Foil

They're referencing Krull when they do that man. How have you NOT seen Krull?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krull_%28film%29
>>
>>22967067
Nope. I thought it was a fantasy-setting exotic weapon thing, not a hollywood one-off thing.
>>
>>22967019
>Frik
Phrik, dude. With a PH-

And we can always go looking for some Cortosis. We have any mandalorian buddies?
>>
>>22967090
Other people started doing it in reference to Krull, because Krull is fucking awesome and deserves to be referenced. Seriously, watch Krull.
>>
One really big saber, with three cutting blades focused all in one direction. Lifts, cuts, and cauterizes.

Also a cortosis glove with focus crystals that we can use as a shield thing.
>>
>>22967108
I'll put it on "The List".

There are currently 118 movies ahead of it.
>>
....Just use a regular blade.
>>
I say we do get a light glaive though. I mean, there is no tradition more ancient than sticking your weapon on the end of a poll! Even prostitution came after that.
>>
>>22967111
Cortosis weave or true cortosis? A full cortosis gauntlent would be hella expensive and super-heavy, I think.
>>
>>22967133
Plus fragile as fuck. Pure Cortosis is very brittle, making it only really useful for it's ability to say "fuck you" to lightsabers.
>>
>>22967133
Cortosis weave

also OP are you alive?
>>
>>22967132
I'm pretty sure you don't know exactly how old prostitution is.

It's so old that, when chimps were taught the concept of money, the first thing they did was bought sex from other chimps. It's so old it's pre-programmed.
>>
>>22967133
Well the cost might be a problem, but the weight is something you train with and use the force for.

I'm not sure a weave gauntlet is good enough to perform blade grasps.
>>
>>22967159
how about some small pure pads in the palm and claws ?
>>
>>22967159
Couldn't you focus the force in to your hand and train yourself to the point where summoning the force to repel a saber becomes instinctual?

Better question: Can you repel the blade of a light saber with the force?
>>
>>22967154
And what's the first thing kids do when playing with markers? Putting the pokey bit further away from you is also pre-programmed
>>
>>22967129
Define "regular blade", every lightsaber is ever-so-slightly different.
>>22967159
I you wanna do blade grasps, look into studying Tutaminis.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tutaminis
>>
>>22967159
Weave is good enough to preform blade grasps, the pure stuff turns the damn things off when it touches them..
>>
>>22967178
I guess that could work, how did Vader block those blaster shots? Was it cause he was a cyborg, something in his armor, or a force power?

Telling rogues with itchy trigger fingers to talk to the hand would be great.
>>
So can we go for something that actually works for our form?
Such as my earlier suggestion of just going long blade for better leverage and easy swap to one handed.
>>
>>22967198
thought he did that with the Force.
>>
>>22967188
>look into studying Tutaminis
That has a name? I always just thought of it as "that energy dickery thing the Halcyon lie were unusually gifted in"
>>22967198
See >>22967188
>>
>>22967218
Halcyon LINE, not lie.
>>
>>22967185
Markers =/= weapons
Acknowledging sharpness =/= making spears
"putting the pokey bit further away from you" =/= "sticking your weapon on the end of a poll"
>>
>>22967209
resuggesting Hand-and-a-Half Saber.
>>
Getting a little too fancy with the magic laser sword designs, guys.

maybe dial back on that a bit.
>>
>>22967232
>not going full lightzweihander
The weight isn't even an issue because the only part we carry around is the hilt!
>>
>>22967232
I do like this idea, and seeing how we use a two handed fighting style, this choice would be for the best. not to mention later we still could use it in 1 hand and still use a blaster.
>>
>>22967240
Totally this. Whats wrong with a slightly longer saber?
>>
>>22967226
hey

you're engaging in a pointless argument.

please stop.


anyways, I vote for sticking with a standard saber construction unless our master suggests something much much more beneficial for our fighting style.
>>
>>22967245
A handle that's too long would still be cumbersome, though. Bumping in to your arm and stuff. It would enhance your power but limit your finesse.

I forget, though, Form V? Did that have much finesse?
>>
>>22967261
"Boo you whore" on both topics.

>>22967182
Yes, actually. You can focus the Force and stop a saber yourself.

Here's a picture of Satele Shan, descendant of Revan and Bastila Shan, Jedi Grandmaster of her era, and one of the strongest people in the galaxy at the time, doing exactly that.
>>
>>22967262
Yes, it does. It's actually the form in which reverse grips are most often used.
>>
>>22967261
I vote this.

But in the mean time let's discuss the virtue of the quad saber >>22966767
>>
>>22967262
Form V is setup to defend then counter with extreme force and has a bunch of techniques for getting within blade reach quickly. So long handle is better for the form.
>>
>>22967280
Okay, then, I suggest that Koolaid learn how to do this, and then just rip sabers out of the hands of people.

>>22967285
Hand-and-a-Half it is? At least inquire about a Hand-and-a-Half Saber, OP.
>>
>>22967304
Also remember that Vader stops Han Solo's blaster shots in episode V just by blocking them with his hand.
>>
>>22967304
Keep in mind that if you fuck up a Force Parry/Block, your limb is done for. Satele is only doing that in the picture because she was disarmed and cornered by the enemy Sith.
>>
>>22967338
Doesn't hurt to practice it, though, right? Useful in a pinch.
>>
>>22967338
True. To be able to do it reliably, on a regular basis, you pretty much have to be Nejaa Halcyon.

I think hand and a half is only slightly longer than normal a true long handle is big enough that you can easily change the reach with a change of hand position
>>
>>22967357
"Hey Bi'teme, c'mere for a sec."
"Yeah, what is it Koo'lade?"
hold our hand up
"I want you to push the end of your lightsaber through my hand."
>>
>>22967374
That's bordering on lightpike there, though. And if we wanted to do lightpike, we'd need to get Kazdan Paratus to teach us how it works.
>>22967359
And he could only do it that well because his player was a minmaxing bag of dicks who gave up pretty much all telekinetic abilities for MOAR TUTAMINIS and MOAR ILLUSIONS.
>>
>>22967384
Fuck yes.

>>22967374
True, but the Hand-and-a-Half gives plenty of space for using both hands in a powerful swing as well as the finesse of a one-handed weapon, while a longer handle would give us greater range and leverage at the cost of finesse.

I know that they were just the only pictures I found.
essentially though it's a double blade hilt with one opening and an extra long blade
>>
>>22967384
So we start off doing it with training sabers. A lot. Until we can do it without even trying too hard. THEN we start doing it with the real thing.
>>
>>22967428
no, we use real sabers to begin with, sometimes you have to run before you can walk

Enjoy your chopped off hand. Seriously, it's a high-level application of the ability, and EXTREMELY difficult.

So where the fuck is OP?

No. No you don't. Who says that? Anyone who says you can do the fancy stuff before you learn the most basic of basics is dumb.

>Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

You skip down the corridor alongside your new teacher. Plo Koon looks amused by your enthusiasm.

“I wish I had your kind of energy,” he chuckles. “Won’t you slow down a bit, Padawan?”

Padawan. The word sends a trill of excitement shivering up your spine. Images run through your mind of exotic frontier worlds, shady city underbellies, and mysterious ruins of ancient civilizations. You imagine tension-charged negotiations and epic duels atop skyscrapers, frantic speeder chases and investigations whose outcomes could decide the fate of whole planets. You—

You decide to start walking like a normal person after getting odd looks from a few passing staff.

“Master,” you ask, “Exactly what are those common mistakes in my dueling style that you mentioned?”

“Minor things,” Koon replies. “Footwork, of course—that’s always difficult. You’ll also want to practice strategic control of your strikes’ power to conserve your energy. Your technique is very good, just needs a bit of polishing.”

You nod. “Yes, Master.”

“I’m actually a practitioner of Form V myself,” he says. “Perhaps tomorrow or the day after that, I can spar with you to show you where you can improve.”

2/2

It’s hard to keep a straight face when you arrive at the testing chamber with Master Plo Koon walking next to you, but you manage it somehow. Just about every initiate there looks at you in shock and awe, with no small hint of envy.

“Padawan Koo’lade, please wait with the other apprentices,” Koon says. “I need to speak with Master Drallig for a moment.”

“Yes, Master,” you reply, walking towards the group of trainees. You’re not sure how many were chosen as apprentices.

Bi’teme is the first to hiss out a question. “How did you get apprenticed to a Council Master?!”

“Awesome luck,” you say sweetly.

“Congratulations,” K’nona says brightly. “Master Swan chose me as her apprentice.”

You congratulate her in return. “What about you, Bi’teme?”

“Master Trebor,” he replies, inclining his head towards a brown-skinned Vurk.

“Good for you,” someone says morosely from behind him.

All three of you turn around to see a sullen-looking Dhevel.

“I wasn’t chosen,” he continues. “I suppose this is good riddance, then.”

K’nona starts to speak as the Zeltron walks away.

“Don’t,” you say quietly. “You’ll just make him angrier.”

inb4 we are awesome and fast track our way to a council position and take Dhevel as our apprentice
>>
>>22968918
Can that happen? I thought apprentices were thrown out if they sat too long, like fruit?
>>
>>22968932
If they remain unselected for too long, they are sent to the Agricultural Corps. They do good work, but it's just not the same as being an Apprentice, and eventually a Knight. It's like if the kid who wanted to be a fighter pilot wound up a cab driver.
>>
>>22968946
That's a bummer. Do they still get force fun and light sabers?

Obi-Wan Kenobi himself damn near wound up there actually, because Qui-Gon had issues over his previous Padawan falling and didn't want to take another one.
>>
>>22968965

Apparently not, if only Padawans can construct new lightsabers. I may have to retcon Roa and company's sabers as being training weapons.

Nah, he's nowhere near bitchy enough to be Rosh. Seriously, the way they wrote Rosh was BRILLIANT. By the time you get the choice, they've made you HATE the little sprick. I really wish they'd just let you choose whether to kill him or not WITHOUT making the fact that it was the Light/Dark branch point so bleeding obvious.

Our Xanatos.

However, you're mah nigga for having read the Jedi Apprentice books.
