“No problem!” you say, cracking an easy smile as you crack your knuckles and scratch at your slightly overgrown horns. You stride to the center of the room. Klaitan gives you a dirty look but only gets your smile in return as you sit cross-legged in the center of the room.

You close your eyes and reach out, touching every rock in the room through the Force.

>Crit success

You quickly find that you have no trouble getting all the rocks into the air. At first, it’s hard to turn them all in a circle but you realize quickly that all you really need to do is pull them around yourself rather than push them all individually. The rocks feel light as a feather as they rotate around you with a kind of precision you didn’t realize you were capable of. You can feel a mix of awe, jealousy, and pride among other things from your four classmates that watch to the side of you.

After several minutes, you realize you’ve been hovering a few feet above the ground with your legs crossed. The smile that you started with continues to permeate your face as the rocks come to a rest in the exact spot they began in. You set your feet back on the ground and open your eyes to see Master Rava beaming at you.

“Paxious,” she says, “That was amazing. I have seen young knights accomplish this with less grace and peace. Your attunement with the Will of the Force continues to astound me.”

You go to stand with your peers again and Nazz elbows you lightly in the side, a grin on her face, “Geez, how did you get so great? Was that farm you grew up on a secret Jedi Academy or something?”

You return her smile but don’t respond as she’s the next to get called up.

“Iridonian vegetables,” you say as she walks to the center of the room, “It’s all thanks to those, really.”

Nazz giggles and sits down, in a meditative position. She manages to lift about half the rocks with ease and they move around the room with no problem until she starts to laugh uncontrollably as she’s putting them down. Master Rava tells her she needs to work on focus.

Nazz walks back to your side, still giggling, saying, “I /rocked/ didn’t I?”

Klaitan takes his try next, this time only going for half the rocks and not while doing a handstand. He manages to lift them fairly well, but messes up when he starts trying to lift the remaining rocks. Master Rava tells him that fear of a fellow Jedi’s progress is like surrendering to the Sith.

Jorraan goes next and he only lifts five rocks, but does it with ease. Master Rava tells him that his simplicity will be his greatest strength.

Ria goes last and begins by lifting a single stone and rotating around her. She slowly lifts more stones with it, until she finally has them all in the air. She grits her teeth and quickly wipes sweat from her brow as she shakily puts them back where they started. Master Rava tells her there is such a thing as pushing one’s self too far, even for a Jedi.

“I expect great things out of all of you,” Master Rava says with a gentle smile, “You each have the potential to be a great Jedi Master one day and I expect you all will.”

You leave the class and decide to

You exit the class with Nazz and Jorraan in tow, the two of them discussing the varyingly large amounts of food they’ve eaten in the past.

“Hey guys,” you tell them, “I’ll catch up with you later. I’ve gotta get these horns under control.”

“Why? Got a hot date tonight?” Nazz says.

“Are shorter horns desirable when looking for mates?” Jorraan asks in his oddly childlike voice.

Nazz laughs at the statement, “Well I’m sure it would be off putting for a date if you were /too horny/ pfffffhahaAHA!”

You roll your eyes, “It’s like shaving or flossing. You don’t do it just to have a date. You do it to look nice in general. Plus, I don’t want my horns long enough for someone to grab onto them.”

You go off to the dorms and find your horn file and begin the process of making yourself look just a little more civilized.

You decide to practice some of the saber forms briefly before your match with Master Hallar this afternoon. You don’t want to tire yourself out for it, but you want to make sure you at least look like you know what you’re doing.

You make decent progress reviewing the forms, managing to get the very basics of each one. From here you should be able to figure out which one really suites you best.

You rush to eat lunch before your match with Hallar and find the cafeteria mostly empty, only Jac and Ara remaining although sitting at separate tables. You cram yourself full of whatever food you get your hands on and then make a run for it to get to the gardens so that you don’t keep Master Hallar waiting.

“Ah, Initiate Paxious,” Hallar says when you get there, “I only arrived a moment ago. Thank you for making haste here. And I heard of your exemplary performance with Master Rava. Congratulations.”

His voice sounds tired, but not in the way yours is as you suck up breath greedily and try your best to slow your heartbeat down.

“Can...can I have a minute before we get started?” you say as you breath heavily from your run over here.

“Very well, Initiate. I suppose I could use a moment of repose as well.”

You both take a seat on the cool grass and sit in silence. After a minute, you say, “Do you spar with others often, Master?”

“Not with Initiates,” replies Hallar before returning to his silence. “Actually, I had not realized it until now, but it has been sometime since I have sparred with another. Some time…”

His voice returns to the tired tone causing you to question, “Master, is something wrong? You sound tired.”

Master Hallar gets up and sighs, “Some things that have come to light with Knight Korrobi have reminded me of something I would rather not remember. Now, Initiate, ready yourself.”

Master Hallar draws a purple lightsaber and stands in a combat position. You think it’s a variation of Makashi

You quickly spring up and activate your saberstaff. You and Master Hallar begin to circle one another.

Hallar suddenly rushes forward, stabbing his blade precisely where your stomach was. You’re already moving, though. Hallar might be a lot stronger than you, but he’s moving slow. Well, slow for a Jedi Master. His moves are still incredibly hard to keep up with, but it’s enough for you to defend and dodge the blows he sends your way. You continue to dodge and block where you can until Hallar backs off.

He looks completely unfazed, like he hasn’t even warmed up yet.

“I am impressed, Paxious. Master Rogand has taught you very well. Now, attack me.”

You take a step to close the short distance between you and Master Hallar and you give a single stab forward with your saberstaff. Hallar ducks it and readies himself for the next attack but it never comes. You’ve already backed off.

“Done already?” Hallar comments as he steps forward and delivers another attack. You remember a Shien attack that you saw Master Rogand briefly demonstrate and you duck beneath Hallar’s blade, rolling your saberstaff around and managing to singe his robes before he backs off.

“That was very impressive, apprentice. I don’t think I’ve sparred against a Padawan who did this well since…”

He trails off for a moment, suddenly dropping his combat stance but quickly picks it back up, except this time, his stance is one you aren’t familiar with.

“Very well, apprentice. You have earned this. I am going to show you a lightsaber form which Rogand has yet to teach you.”

A small smile appears on Hallar’s face as he approaches you in a fast walk, his blade moving somewhat sporadically around him.

>Failure

You put up the best defense you can, following his blade as well as you can and backtracking quickly, but you find that his saber moves just too fast. You manage to get a block in, but blocking his blade feels like being hit by a speeder and you fly backward, recovering quickly as Hallar moves onto you again with this odd form. You bring up your practice saber to block and Hallar’s blow pushes you flat on the ground. He stands over you with his purple saber aimed at your head, an odd half-smile that seems to be somewhere far away paints his face. He shakes his head and seemingly comes to his senses as he closes his lightsaber and offers you a hand up.

“Initiate Paxious,” Hallar tells you, “I am going to speak to Master Rogand about you possible learning what I have just showed you. Would you be willing to be taught the seventh form, Juyo? It is a great undertaking and one which very few Initiates are offered. I believe it is currently only you and two other students who have been allowed to learn it in your class. That in itself is a rather unusually large number.”

Are you willing to learn Juyo?

>Yes
>No
>I have some questions about it first

>>977638
>>Yes

>>977638
>Yes

>>977638
>Yes
if not so we can use it, at least so we can learn to fight against it

>>977646
Addendum: What's so special about Juyo? It seems so erratic as a style.

>>977638
>>Yes

>>977638
>>Yes

>>977654
basically the special snowflake 7th form that relies a lot on emotion, most jedi that learn it fall fast and hard because of it, but those like Mace Windu who don't are basically super effective on taking out Sith. It's Hard to learn, harder to master, but fucking terrifying when done successfully.

>>977638
>>Yes
Gotta learn all the big 7 forms.

Then we can figure out how to do the really weird shit.

Also because 5th dimensional Rock paper scissors of saber combat is hard when you don't know all the forms.

>>977638
>Yes
This is a fucking huge honor. Turning it down would be the stupidest thing we have ever done.

If using it tanks us, we can just not use it and instead use our knowledge of it to defend against it.

>>977660
But many Juyo users get kind of dark, or flat out become sith.

And then big dick Vaapad comes in and corrupts fucking everyone except the Bad Motherfucker

>>977654
It's the most aggressive of the forms and has a tendency to draw its users to the darkside.

So the Jedi are very careful about who they teach Juyo to.

>>977660
>>977670
>>977678
I mean asking in character.

>>977670
>7th form that relies a lot on emotion, most jedi that learn it fall fast and hard because of it,but those like Mace Windu who don't are basically super effective on taking out Sith.


read what you replied too. Yes, it is pretty much paladin fall scenario unless you have plot armor tier will and emotional balance.

>>977678
Most Jedi fall because their serenity is false, they are dead inside, their emotions are not in balance so much as gone, making a technique requiring them to be used would fuck them up. Given that Pax is basically super well adjusted and most of the initiates would be too old specifically because they have emotions now, I can see why so many could conceivably learn it.

>>977680
IC all you know is that you had no idea how to defend against this form and that it's something that very few people get a chance to learn. You could justify not wanting to learn it by saying Pax would rather focus on learning about the Force but it's completely valid IC for him to at least be curious about how to defend against it.

>>977638
>Yes

Would this stop us from learning say Soresu? Cause I think Soresu with a saber staff would be kinda cool.

>>977700
Nope, most Jedi at this time learn the basics of every form and then either get very good at two forms or completely master 1. Unless you're Rogand and master literally everything you can.

“I’d be honored, Master Hallar,” you tell him with a bow. Even if you don’t use the form yourself, it would be helpful to at least find a way to defend against it.

“Now, I’d say you have about an hour before you skills class. I think Retsma’s teaching it this year. You should rest up before it considering Retsma’s probably starting with basic diplomacy skills. I’ll see you soon, Paxious.”

You thank Master Hallar again and enter the Temple to find your next, and final class of the day. That’s when you run into Kay flanked by two Temple Guards holding yellow lightsabers out.

“Kay Korrobi, you are under arrest for treason. Come quietly now.”

Kay does not look like she wants to come quietly

Kay looks between the two temple guards and their yellow lightsabers. Her green eyes are widened, searching around the narrow hallway. The temple guards stand in front of her in their sleek silver uniforms and you stand behind her.

Kay starts to turn around, her hand flinching toward one of her lightsabers, only to stop when she locks eyes with you. She stops dead in her tracks and seems to be reconsidering whatever action she decided on.

“I don’t have time…” she mutters to herself as she looks between you and the guards.

“Pax, you need to believe me,” Kay begins, eyes wide with urgency, “What I have to do now is more important than answering questions.”

The temple guards begin to advance on her with caution, “Knight Kay Korrobi, by word of the council of Tython, you are to be detained for further questioning until--”

Kay is on the guards in a flash, punching one in the face and cracking their mask. The other guard swings his saber as Kay folds her hands behind her back and ducks each blow, kicking the blade out of his hands and catching it. She promptly deactivates the saber and hits the guard over the head with it. He falls to the ground unconscious.

“Tell the Masters here I am acting on Code: Shadow Five and have them confirm it with the High Council,” she says as she drops the saber and begins to run in the opposite direction.

You watch Kay run out of the room with a mixture of shock and confusion at the situation. You snap out of it when you hear a groan come from one of the temple guards collapsed on the ground. Rushing to their side, you tear off both their masks and find a light-skinned man and a dark woman, both with their heads shaved. The man’s nose is broken and the woman is bleeding from her forehead.

You remember back to the basic first-aid training your father gave you. “Okay kid,” he had said, “If you’re checking for concussions and you don’t have equipment, cover up one eye tight with your hand for 30 seconds Then take the hand off and open their eye and see if the pupil changes size. If it don’t, they’re concussed. If they’re knocked out, don’t slap ‘em around. Keep ‘em straight as you can and make sure they breathe until someone who knows what to do comes or they wake up.”

You check their pupils and find that they both have concussions and aren’t immediately waking up from those hits to the head.

That’s when Klaitan wanders into the hallway. He stares at you for a moment, stunned.

“Don’t just stand there!” you say, “Grab a healer! And grab Master Retsma once you do that.”

Klaitan runs off without a word while you straighten out the two temple guards and continue to check their breathing and heart rate.

Finally, a healer arrives. A blonde girl with piercing blue eyes marches in and sits cross-legged beside you without a word. She seems to be meditating. You’re about to tell her to stop meditating and do something when you notice the cut on the woman’s forehead disappear as if it were never there.

Retsma enters, eyes wide with worry. “Paxious. What happened?”

“It was Kay, Master,” you tell him.

Retsma’s eyes grow narrow and cross. “I was afraid of this. I’ll signal for more reinforcements and inform the rest of the masters that--”

“Master,” you interrupt him, taking him to the side and whispering, “She told me she was acting on Code: Shadow Five.”

The room is silent. The healer opens one eye to peer between you and Retsma and the goes back to her work.

You see Retsma’s lips twitch under his bushy beard and you see his eyes narrow into a thoughtful scowl.

“Damn it,” Master Retsma mutters to himself.

“Damn it, damn it, damn it all!”

He digs a communicator out of his pockets, “T6, I need you to send a message to the Jedi High Council asking to confirm Code: Shadow Five for Knight Kay Korrobi and if they confirm it, I want you to send them another message telling them all to go to Hell.”

“What’s happening, Master Retsma?” you ask, “What does that code mean? Is Kay a sith or not?”

“Force, I /wish/ she was a Sith. What Kay is, is trouble for this whole temple that I frankly do not need,” he says. “The Jedi Council, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to tell us nothing about their activities here.”

“So, what /is/ Kay, exactly?” you ask.

Master Retsma thinks for a moment before taking you into a nearby meditation chamber.

“There are certain missions that the Jedi Council needs done with extreme discretion. Traditionally, they send a council member to do these missions but in the case that none are willing or able, the Council can appoint another Jedi to it. These Jedi are known as Shadows. They are told the Jedi Code no longer applies to their day-to-day actions and can act with complete autonomy to accomplish whatever task the council gives them. You’re never supposed to know who is and isn’t a Jedi shadow. I’m telling you because Knight Kay happens to have taken enough of a liking to you to want you as an apprentice and as her apprentice, you would become a Jedi Shadow as well.”

“That sounds…”

“Cool,” you say mostly to yourself. Retsma gives you a concerned look and you quickly add, “but dangerous. Very dangerous.”

You can’t help but smile at the thought of being a secret agent Jedi. That sounds like something straight out of a holovid.

“Well, Paxious, don’t worry about any of that right now. Focus on your classes. Focus on passing your trials. Choosing a master can come later,” he says patting your shoulder. “Why don’t you get to class? I’ll be a little late dealing with all this, but I won’t have the high council interrupting this temple any more than they already have.”

“Wait, Master,” you say, “Does Master Hallar’s investigation have anything to do with this?”

“I don’t know. For all I know, this could be his idea or he could be just as surprised as us all. Considering he was reluctant to be sent here at all, I’m going to guess that even if he’s involved, he doesn’t realize it. Master Hallar isn’t the sneaking type anymore. He prefers to follow the Code to a tee.”

“But what’s the point of that Code if the council can just appoint people to break it when they want to?”

Master Retsma stops. He takes a deep breath in and sighs out with just slight grown. “I have the same question often, Paxious. If it makes you feel better, the code Shadow Five denotes the fact that only five shadows have been appointed since the position’s creation at the 5th council of Dantooine. Now, off to class.”

You make your way to the classroom just to the left of the Council chambers find the other students have already arrived. The class was meant to begin about five minutes ago. You spot Ara, Yusa, and Klaitan in the crowd but can’t seem to find anyone else despite the fact that at least half the Initiates are here.

You stand next to Ara and Yusa wanders over.

“Hey, you’re lucky Retsma is as late as he is. Where were you?” Ara asks.

What will you do?

“Well…” you start, looking for the words.

“It was Kay, wasn’t it?” Ara says without looking at you.

“She’s gone now if that makes you feel any better,” you say.

“It helps a bit, I guess. Is she in too much trouble?” Ara asks, turning to face you.

“I think everyone’s in trouble right now. She’s under investigation but I think it’ll be fine,” you say.

“Good. Also, thanks for getting my sister’s attention with the whole padawan thing. If I became her padawan, I’d be driven to the Sith within a week,” Ara says with a soft smile and one raised eyebrow.

It’s at this point that Retsma zips passed you and Ara and lands at the front of the crowd of students scattered in the lecture-hall styled room.

“Good evening, students. I apologize for my lateness. It was actually an elaborate lesson in patience with the senile old people you call master so that we feel better about ourselves.”

There’s scattered laughter among the students.

“This is Jedi Skills class. Here, we will learn a variety of things a Jedi might need to know from basic diplomacy to operating a grappling hook to piloting a starfighter. This course is set up so that you will learn each skill over an intensive 3-week course. Once you have finished every course, you will each choose 2 skills to take an advanced course in. This will most likely be in the last month of your time as Initiates. Today, we shall learn diplomacy, as that is my expertise within the Order. Let us begin…”

Master Retsma begins a long lecture about the art of being polite in a way that nearly every culture in the galaxy will recognize.

You listen intently to the lecture, soaking up as much information as you can from Master Retsma. You notice a few of your classmates talking amongst themselves and you even see Yusa nod off for a moment.

The class gets out an hour later and you feel mentally exhausted trying to recall the difference in meaning between a handshake on Lothal and a handshake on Jedha.

“I think I actually slept an entire two days and the next class started again. What year is it?” Ara asks you, dry sarcasm permeating her voice.

You feel a large hand on your shoulder and turn around to find Jorraan.

“Friends!” he says, “It is good to see you all. Jedi History was very interesting but also very sleepy.”

“We were in the same boat, Jor,” Ara tells him with a shrug. “Is Master Beril back teaching it?”

“Yes! She was!” Jorraan replies. “I say that we feast in celebration!”

Ara laughs at this.

“I’ll catch up in a bit. I want to stop by to see Master Beril first,” you say, waving to your friends as you take off the opposite direction toward the library.

You enter the library to find Master Beril sitting at a desk, reading a datapad. Her lips curl through the wrinkles that tell them otherwise and she stands up to greet you, “Paxious, I am glad to see that you are doing well, even excelling from what the other masters have told me.”

“I'm glad to have you back, Master Beril,” you say with a bow.

“Master Retsma has informed me of your encounter with Knight Kay and her offer to you,” Beril says as she walks passed you to one of the datapad shelves and begins to search through it.

“Master, what exactly are Jedi Shadows? Why are they allowed to break the Jedi Code?”

“That is a question that is very difficult to answer. Ah, here it is,” Master Beril says as she takes the datapad.

“To answer, we must go back to their inception, just after the reestablishment of the Jedi Order after its near extinction, approximately 300 years ago.”

“Tell me, Paxious. Have you ever heard the legends of Revan?”

The way I'm planning it, the Infinite Engine is a thing, but not even remotely resembling swtor. You might never find it IC unless this quest manages to run passed the plot I have set up currently and make me go to the absolutely insane original plot I had planned out for this like two years ago.

As for Revan's fate, you'll have to find that out.

If it makes you feel any better, I hated what swtor did with it on like 4 different levels and my version of the infinite engine is only similar in name and in origin (both were parts of the Star Forge)

As for Revan, I'm just going to come out and say it, he's fucking dead because it's been 300 years and people die after that long generally speaking.

>>985851
K. But are force ghosts a thing? Could we, in theory, with a high enough roll, burning ALL our points, make contact with Revan through the force? Or is he too deep into the force to reach?

>>985866
In theory, I guess you could although it would be way easier to find his Holocron either from when he was a Jedi or when he was a Sith Lord and talk to that. It can't learn anything but it has all of Revan's knowledge from the time he made it.
