“I’ve heard of Revan,” you say, “There’s a holiday for him on Iridonia. I’ve never been to the parades but I heard they’re nice.”

“Ah yes, Revan is considered the savior of Iridonia. That combined with the fact that his crusade as a Sith never touched Iridonian colonies, I can understand the hero worship.”

“The legends were always hard to believe from the farm,” you say, remembering your father’s ‘history’ lessons whenever he had a bit too much to drink.

“You will find there are almost always truths in legends,” Master Beril replies.

“But,” you say, “what does this have to do with Jedi Shadows?”

Master Beril reads through the datapad a bit as she forms her words, “Revan’s initial separation from the Jedi Order was a result of the Mandalorian Crusade against the Outer Rim. He left to fight the Mandalorians and protect the Republic from the threat. The Jedi Council at the time warned caution. This would destroy them when Revan returned as a Sith Lord. We don’t know much of the period after the Jedi Civil War. Revan returned to the Jedi and killed his former Apprentice, whether in malice or in heroics, we know not. The Sith were killed or retreated into the unknown regions. We know the Jedi were thought to be extinct for some years, we know a Sith Lord of some sort launched an attack on Telos and a few Jedi, one known as The Exile, deflected it and supposedly followed Revan beyond the Outer Rim. The Jedi Council that was established after this was a very interesting one. Only two Jedi who sat on the council had gone through training as children and out of those, one had failed his Initiate trials and only been taught after the Jedi were nearly gone.”

Master Beril closes the datapad and places it on the table, “It was this Council that established Jedi Shadows. Master Atton Rand claimed that it was necessary to “level the playing field” against the Sith when they return. Apparently, the new Order was under the assumption that the return of the Sith was eminent. The Sith Empire, however, laid in wait for three hundred years before finally attacking.”

“The idea of a Jedi Shadow was to annihilate the Sith using any means possible. However, since the Sith did not return, in the 300 year period from the Shadow’s creation, Shadows were more often used to accomplish the morally ambiguous goals of the Jedi Council.”

“So, what does this have to do with Revan?” you ask again.

“It was believed by that first council, that Revan and this Exile were fighting the Sith beyond the Outer Rim. Jedi Shadows were meant to be their soldiers, their saboteurs, their spies, and their generals. What actually happened to Revan and the Exile is a mystery.”

For the record, in both KOTOR and KOTOR 2, the light side ending is the canon ending.

And if we are then almost everything that isn't the movies or the tv series is not cannon at all. Meaning kotr as well.

“So,” you ask, “Revan and the Exile just disappeared? What do you think happened?”

“There are many theories, some involving Revan and the Exile running off together, others involving brave encounters with a previous Sith Emperor. From what I can gather, Revan was far too powerful and detailed a tactician for him to have simply died. Little is written on the Exile, but from what is, she had a similar presence in the Force. Something convinced them to halt their assault, to reconsider and turn back. That is what I believe.”

“Where could I learn more about this?” you ask again.

Master Beril’s lips curl into a wrinkled smile, “Well, Paxious, you are talking to a librarian who collaborates with the Order’s historian Gnost-Dural. If you are interested, I will supply you with reading material, but only if you continue to excel in your other classwork. Is this acceptable?”

You give Master Beril a smile back and bow, “Thank you, Master.”

“Now, off to dinner with you. I shall assemble some reading that will interest you.”

Arriving at dinner, you find Nazz and Jorraan laughing as Ara and Lu attempt to look annoyed only for smiles to betray them. You sit between Nazz and Lu with your meal and begin to chow down saying…

“I missed a good pun, didn’t I?” you ask as the table giggles around you.

“Okay okay so, we were talking about how Ara and Jac are in love,” Nazz begins

“Oh my god, Nazz, drop it! I said he’s pretty! Can't I admire a pretty face? Geez!” Ara responds, although clearly not all that annoyed by Nazz’s jokes.

“Anyway, Lu pointed out that Jac isn’t in any advanced classes and isn’t particularly good at anything and so I said--”

Jorraan bursts out laughing before she can finish explaining, saying, “He’s a Jac of all trades! Bhahahwahafwa!”

Nazz gives Jorraan a dirty look but can’t help but laugh along and the whole table joins in.

“So,” Lu says once the laughter dies down a bit, “Have you guys heard of the new Initiates? Apparently we were so successful that they found a new group in like two weeks and are sending them in tomorrow.”

“Think there’ll be anyone good in the group?” Ara asks curiously.

“Nah, they’re all second-stringers. We were the ones that they vetted through for like a month. These ones are probably just leftovers from that,” Lu responds.

“So, Pax, what were you doing that delayed you from food?” Nazz asks between mouth-fulls of gizka greasers.

“Master Beril wanted to talk some history with me,” you say.

“What, like How the Mid-rim was Won type stuff?” Nazz asks.

“No, it was mostly about Revan and the Mandalorian Wars. I think I’ll read up on it more. It seems really interesting.”

“I heard you sparred against Master Hallar and got him to show you Juyo,” Ara says as she sips on a drink.

“Wait, what?” Lu says with what must be a raised eyebrow behind his bandages.

“Master Hallar seems like a strong warrior,” Jorraan says, eyes glimmering at imagining the fight.

“Yeah,” you say, “Juyo is scary to say the least. It was like fighting a wild animal, a wild animal with at least six arms. Every movement seemed completely random but was still countering any kind of counter-attack I tried.”

“I might learn it though, at least so I know how to defend against it.”

Jac sits down at the table as you say this. “Hey all! What’re we talking about?”

“Well,” Nazz says, “Pax is gonna learn Juyo and become the scariest pincushion in the galaxy.”

Jac laughs a bit, “Good one, haha! But seriously, what are we talking about?”

“Pax really is going to learn Juyo,” Lu informs Jac.

“Are...are you guys crazy?!” Jac says as he slams his fork on the table, “Juyo is banned! It’ll make you fall to the darkside! That’s the whole point of it being banned!”

“Jac,” Ara says in an uncharacteristically soft tone, cheeks as red as her hair, “It’s okay. Master Rogand approached me about it too. They’re choosing a few students to learn Juyo. It happens in every Initiate class. Normally it’s only one or two but this year there’s four students they’re looking at.”

“Oh...okay...that’s better...darkside...I’m not so hungry,” Jac says as he gets up to leave.

Ara makes like she’s going to say something or follow him but stops herself.

“Oh come on! Follow him! This is your chaaance!” Nazz comments to Ara.

“Ara, relationships are forbidden here,” Lu comments, “So you egging Ara on like this is kinda makes you a spice dealer of sorts.”

Nazz giggles at this, tapping you on the shoulder and saying in a raspy voice, “Hey kid, you wanna buy some death sticks?”

“Ara, people have been breaking that rule since they made it. You know how many shows on the holonet are Jedi love stories? A lot.”

Ara smiles a bit at this. Clearly, you’ve eased the tension a bit for her.

You continue, “Do what you feel is right, okay? Lu is right, you need to be careful. But Nazz also just wants you to be happy and that’s important too. So do what you think is best, okay?”

Ara seems much more at ease once you’ve said this. Lu and Nazz seem to agree with you.

Ara gets up and starts to look for where Jac went. You finish up your meal with your friends.

You decide to meditate before heading to bed, finding the Initiate rooms empty. Does anyone even use these besides you?

You sit with your legs crossed and eyes closed as you begin to let yourself go...

You take in your surroundings with a feeling of awe as the Force unfolds the world to you. Then you turn this feeling inward and begin to meditate on your first days as an Initiate and how much you have grown in such a short time. It all happened to you so fast that it’s hard for you to not think that this feeling of wisdom and understanding wasn’t always there within you, just waiting to reveal itself.

After your successful meditation, you head back to the dorm and get to bed after giving your horns a quick polish.

You wake up sweating, your breathing heavy, unable to completely remember your dream. Bits and pieces of images come through to you as you try to recall it.

The farm was there. Your father too. Something was wrong. There was water, small lakes. The fields of crops looked more like a marsh. There were other faces you don’t quite recognize. A woman with blue skin and red eyes, some kind of mandalorian armor on a Twi’lek or a Nautolen maybe. You don’t remember your brothers being there, but you remember worrying about them.

Shaking yourself off, you get ready for the day. You’ve got saber class with Master Rogand and Jedi History with Master Beril.

You decide to get to Master Rogand’s ‘classroom’ a bit early. You find a part of the garden where all the grass has been dug up from the constants of students treading upon it. While you’re walking there, Ara joins you, having the same idea.

You both find Master Rogand in some kind of meditative state. He is holding his lightsaber out in the Form IV defensive position but does not move a muscle or even blink when you come near.

“Master Rogand?” Ara asks tentatively.

The lightsaber closes and Rogand’s statue-like appearance fades as he addresses Ara.

“We wanted to ask about how we’ve been selected to learn Juyo,” Ara says.

“Ah, good. You are two of the four. I will remind you that while you are allowed to learn the form, none of you are required and may learn the basics and then choose to study a different form. Most Jedi these days study at least two forms.”

“Who are the other two students?” Ara asks.

“One is Ria, a girl of fierce but reserved demeanor. Her skill with a blade is already quite impressive for one so young,” Rogand says simply, “The other is a boy who I do not know. He is fair and I have been told clumsy. Retsma recommended him. Crok I think his name was?”

“Jac?!” Ara says with slight alarm.

“Yes, that is he,” Rogand responds.

“How are candidates to learn Juyo chosen, Master?” you ask.

“A Master must see in them the qualities of a Juyo user. But they must also be one who may walk near the darkness but never be tempted to succumb to it. That way is madness. The warrior with balance will learn Juyo. They will become the Jedi who does not hesitate to cut off evil’s head when it reveals itself,” Master Rogand responds, “After this, the chosen are taught the basics. If they excel, they can choose to master the form with any teacher willing to take them on.”

“Will we still take the normal classes for melee combat?” Ara inquires, still in shock from hearing Jac had been chosen.

“Yes. Your lessons in Juyo will be additions to this,” Rogand answers.

“Master,” you say while you scratch your horns in thought, “what form works best to defend against Juyo?”

Rogand thinks for a second before answering, “Juyo.”

“Most defenses against Juyo involve preparation. Stand with your back to a sun. Stand in a river flowing toward your opponent. Take cheap shots. Kick their feet from under them. Never let them start an attack. Juyo is too aggressive to defend against and so the best defense it to prevent it from being used at all. Several masters, myself included, have been attempting to make one of the forms more suitable for defense against Juyo, but it is difficult work.”

“Master,” Ara says, redness staining her cheeks, “I don’t know if Jac is ready to learn Juyo.”

Master Rogand smiles, “I do not know the boy but I do know your face.”

Ara turns even redder in response causing Rogand to laugh.

“If you truly love a sapling, do not guard it until it dies a sapling death. Water it and let it become an oak, mighty and unwilting.”

You smile, determined, “When do we start?”

“Your enthusiasm is welcomed, Paxious. We start as soon as this my class ends.”

In class, Rogand has you exchange your practice sabers for different ones that he assigns you in order to understand how other forms of combat work. You are given a single dueling saber. During sparring, you manage to get a few hits in but find your sudden lack of range on your weapon off putting.

Once class ends, you take back your saberstaff and find Master Hallar and Master Rogand waiting.

Ara and Jac join you followed by Ria.

The basics of Juyo seem to come to you naturally. You remember what you saw from Master Hallar’s short demonstration during your sparring match and you put it to practice. No one seems to be able to match you. You even manage to put a scratch on Rogand who gives you the biggest smile you knew he was capable of.

As amazing as you did though, Ria surpasses you. She uses the form like someone intimately familiar with it rather than something she learned that very afternoon. Master Rogand takes an interest in both you and her as making good Padawans for him going into the future.

Ara, on the other hand, struggles. She manages the basics, but keeps falling back into her old habits. The worst part was that she always knew exactly what she was doing wrong, but struggled to make changes to fix it.

Jac fared well compared to what Ara was afraid of, even managing to get a few scratches on her during a sparring match. Ara tentatively asked him if he could spar with her later to help her get the form down better.

After this, it’s definitely time for lunch. You chow down on as much as you can, not even being able to remember the names of the pile of food you decimated. Nazz and Jorraan look at you with a hint of pride.

Following this, you have some time to kill where you

You decide to go to one of the communicators in the dormitory and give a call home. It should be just passed dinner for your father now with how the sun works at home. Hopefully your home communicator’s number didn’t get changed. Va-179-080852-10274881. You’ve memorized it.

It rings for a while and you almost give up when it finally answers to your dad.

“Mo, get down from there! Dhuul, get off of Mo!” he says to someone to the side of the hologram before turning and spitting out, “Yeah, whadoya want?”

He stops dead in his tracks when he sees you, smiling and quickly hiding it.

“You look skinnier, boy. They feedin’ ya okay there?” he says.

“It’s fine, they only starve us once a week,” you say with a smile.

“That’s very kind of the old geiser masters over there. Tell whoever is in charge of training you to be a cheeky bastard that they’re doing a wonderful job,” your father says.

You laugh, “Thanks, Pa.”

“I can move rocks just by looking at them now, Pa,” you tell him, barely able to contain your excitement

“That sounds like it’d be useful in the fields,” He says smiling at your excitement.

“How’s work going without me?” you ask.

“I won’t sugarcoat it,” he tells you, “It’s damned slow. That protocol droid you built me does about as much work as a gizka living in a noblewoman’s purse.”

You snort, “L8-T10 is supposed to repair harvesting droids and monitor them, not actually harvest the crops or man speeders or any number of things I’m sure you’re having him do. I’ll give him a tune-up next time I’m home though.”

“Your brothers seem to miss you too much. I’m sure I’ll slap that out of them soon. Or they’ll slap it into me,” your father says, “Started Mo on bo staff training. He’s doing well. Reminds me a lot of you when you were his age.”

“Yeah well don’t show him to many holovids of Jedi or he’ll end up like me,” you joke.

“Kid, if someone had told me twenty years ago that my son would become a Jedi, I’d have--”

“Done nothing because you were in jail and mom was one of the guards,” you reply.

“Fair enough,” your father responds.

You remember your dream from last night.

“Everythings okay, though? Nothing out of the ordinary happening? No flooding or weirdos hanging around?”

Your father raises an eyebrow at you, “Force dammit, they got you on this cryptic shit already? Well, there’s talk that Iridonia might abandon this colony. That means no pay for the settlers which means most will leave which means--”

“No one to repair the dams,” you finish.

“Exactly. I’ve talked to your uncle Blunk, though. He’ll take the kids while I clean up and find a new place. Everything will be fine either way,” your father says, “But you don’t have to worry on that. They won’t decide for another year at least and even then, we’ll get a year of severance pay and most won’t leave until nearing the end of that. Now I’ve got work to do. Stay out of trouble and give any Sith you find hell.”

The hologram fades as your dad disconnects.

“Love you too,” you say.

You make your way to Jedi History and find you’re just a minute late. Master Beril doesn’t mind since she hadn’t gotten started yet. You’re learning about the first Schism in the Order and the eventual creation of the Sith from it. You’re also learning that several different Orders of Force Users combined to make the Jedi as everyone knows them today. The main temples that these different faiths united at were located on Tython, Jedha, and Coruscant.

A Twi’lek girl raises her hand, “Didn’t the temple on Jedha rebel? I heard they’re calling themselves the Grey Order now.”

Master Beril chooses her words carefully, “The Masters presiding at the temple on Jedha recently decided they were not supportive of the current Jedi Council and formed their own as a separate Order. This makes them “gray” because they do not follow the Jedi Council but they are still Jedi at the core. Unless reports come of Darkside users welcomed to the temple, or the Darkside being taught on its own merits without care, they are still considered part of the Jedi.”

The rest of the class goes by quickly and Master Beril hands you several books and datapads on Revan, the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi Civil War, and the first Jedi Council after the Jedi Civil War. You carry these off to your room and place them under your bunk for safe keeping.

After that, you head to dinner and find Master Retsma giving an announcement.

“The new Initiates arrive today and will be tested. I need three volunteers to help.”

Ria approaches you in the cafeteria, “You were exemplary during our sparring sessions today. You have picked up Juyo rather quickly.”

You laugh, “Clearly not as quickly as you, Ria. You gave Master Hallar a run for his money while sparring! It was incredible!”

Ria smiles and looks toward the ground, “My brother has been asking to spar with you since I told him how well you learned Juyo. Perhaps tonight--”

“Sorry,” you tell her, “I’m going to volunteer with Master Retsma. You should too!”

Ria gives you a quiet smile before saying, “Yes, I think that would be enjoyable.”

Lu approaches you after this, “Hey, I’m volunteering for the thing to make the newbies think I’m actually blind then absolutely wreck them. You up for it?”

“Way ahead of you,” you say as you both head to Master Retsma.

>cont.

>>1009860
>cont.

You arrive at the same field you were tested. It feels so much longer than several days ago, but that’s what it was. Retsma told you that it took way too long to test the students with just himself. You, Lu, and Ria will all spar the students while Retsma picks out the best to spar against him.

Lu somehow got his hands on a cane and uses it as a seeing eye cane. He begins wandering aimlessly as soon as he steps off the speeder that got you here.

You roll your eyes and get ready to meet some new Initiates

How will you spar against them

> Go all out and see how long they last (gives you XP)

You decide to go easy on them, giving each possible student at least one opening in every match. They come at you often clumsily, sometimes yelling, a few close their eyes completely. You parry their blows simply, never going beyond Form I.

You go through your group quickly, letting them charge you, giving them an opening, dodging and going on the offensive, then giving them some feedback before assigning them to either beginner classes or sending them to Master Retsma.

The next girl to step up in front of you is wearing a hood. You put up your sword and tell her to charge. She gives you a run for your money with how aggressive she is, but she doesn’t have any form with it and you end up disarming her.

“That was pretty good. Pick your attacks more carefully next time maybe. What’s your name?”

She pulls down her hood to reveal blindfolded eyes.

“Veen Doe Glauzz,” she tells you.

From a distance, you hear Lu’s exclamation.

“Shit.”

Veen turns toward Lu, yelling, "Hi, big bro!"

_____________________________________________________________________________

Lu walks from the small crowd of possible Initiates around him and confronts Veen.

“You need to leave, okay?” he says as he puts a hand on her shoulder.

Veen gives him a smile, “Okay, but you’re coming with me. Dad said you had to.”

Lu sighs and might have rolled his eyes if he could. “What part of ‘I’m running away and never coming back’ did he /not/ understand?”

“The ‘running away’ part,” Veen comments, “Also apparently the ‘never coming back’ part. He literally forgot you ran away the next day and asked where you were. He did that for a week straight before he finally caught on that you actually weren’t coming back.”

“That son of a…” Lu begins before taking a look at some of the younger Initiates and deciding to hold his tongue. “Look, I’m not coming back. I told you to take care of mom and I meant it.”

“I’m not going back unless you come back with me,” Veen says resolutely.

Lu’s hand covers his face, “Are you seriously going to become a Jedi just to spite me?”

“Nooooo,” Veen replies, “I’m becoming a Jedi to spite dad, just like you!”

Lu tries to keep a serious face but ends up smiling at that.

“Veen, that’s not the only reason I’m becoming a Jedi. It’s not even the main reason. It’s more like a bonus that dad hates Jedi,” he tells her.

“I know,” she responds, “But I’m also becoming a Jedi to make sure my idiot brother doesn’t get himself killed.”

The two stare each other down for a moment before they suddenly share a quick hug.

“It’s good to see you, sis,” Lu says under his breath.

“Yeah, whatever, idiot,” Veen says quietly as she squeezes Lu with all her might.

“Nice to meet you, Veen, I’m Lu’s friend Paxious. You can call me Pax, though,” you say as you extend a hand that she gingerly shakes.

“Hi,” she says shyly while looking at Lu who gives her a nod.

“As much as I love family reunions, though, we should finish up testing for the other Initiates.”

With that, you and Lu get back to sparring with the students, Lu having given up on pretending he was actually blind. You make sure to give each student a small critique before sending them on their way.

After another hour, you’re finished up with all the students and more transports arrive to bring everyone to the temple.

Once there, you decide to

Once you get back to the temple, you run into Lu and Veen talking just outside the closed cafeteria. You greet them and join in the conversation.

“So Pax, Lu told me that you had a vision in like your first week here,” Veen comments.

“Yeah, it was crazy. Apparently no other Initiate has gotten visions like that,” you comment with a hint of pride in your voice at impressing this new face.

“Oh,” Veen says, “Well that’s a bit awkward since I’ve already had like four visions…”

You stare at Veen in disbelief as Lu shrugs, “At least one of those was a complete lie to get dad off your back.” he says accusingly.

“It was not!” Veen defends, “I really did have a vision and that’s why I overslept and didn’t work the street corner on the day of the festival.”

“Yeah, whatever,” Lu says doubtfully.

There’s a moment of silence before Veen comments, “It was because of one of my visions that I found you. I saw a vision of you in the future and you were wearing these long flowing robes and you needed a haircut but you were holding a lightsaber in your hand and telling dad to calm down.”

“So,” you cut in, “What’s with your dad anyway? Is he what made you both run away?”

Lu puts a hand on Veen’s shoulder, saying, “Dad is...he’s not the worst but--”

“He’s a loser con-artist who constantly tries to trick other people out of money, moves around a lot to avoid the law and people he scams and is too lazy and inept to work any real job so he shoved me and Lu out on street corners to pretend to be orphans and play some of his scam games. Also he’d forget his own name if people didn’t scream it at him so often.”

After another silence, Lu pats her on the shoulder, “Well, that answers that.”

After this exchange, you all say goodnight and head back to the dorms.

The next week goes by quickly as you really focus on all your classes.

You’ve really started to excel at Juyo but that doesn’t mean you’ll let yourself fall behind in getting the basics down of every form. It doesn’t take long for you to know all the basic steps and concepts behind the seven main lightsaber forms. Rogand even has a few Knights come in who loan you their lightsabers for a quick spar. The lack of weight in the lightsaber astounds you as you swing it around.

In Force techniques, you haven’t lagged behind either. By the end of the week, you’re able to stand on one hand while lifting just about anything with ease and concentration.

Jedi History has really taken your interest and you stay up late reading off of datapads about the triumphs and terrors of Revan and Malak. The fact that there’s almost nothing on what happened immediately after the Jedi Civil War leading up to the new Jedi Council worries you. Most of the Jedi Council seems to site their teacher as The Exile but you can’t find anything on this mysterious woman.

Retsma continues to teach on Diplomacy for the next week and you find yourself bored in the class many times, but determined to give Retsma your full attention and succeed in the class.

For next week you plan to focus on

> Lightsaber Training
> Force-wielding
> Jedi History

Choose one or two.

You spend a lot of time with

You spend the next week working on your strength in the Force and with a lightsaber.

Master Rava is working on using the Force to enhance yourself this week and it doesn’t take long before you’re able to run just a bit faster than you ever thought you could. Your senses feel heightened like never before and you find you’re noticing things about the world that you never did before.

Meanwhile, besides Ria, you have advanced the most in Juyo of any of the other students. You feel exhausted after every training session but it’s worth it to see the results every day.

As a result of your training in Juyo, you find yourself exhausted in Master Retsma’s class, even falling asleep at times. You still manage to do okay, but you aren’t excelling.

Jedi History is another class where you feel like you’re surviving in, but have not made much progress on the books and datapads Master Beril loaned you.

After all your classes are finished, you spend time with all of your friends.

However, it seems that you hang around with Nazz the most out of anyone. The two of you often meditate together or grab lunch on days the others are busy. You talk to each other about home a lot. It seems like Nazz is very worried about her mom having to work on the swoop bikes alone and you can’t blame her. Your little brothers aren’t quite old enough to help your dad out. The two of you think of more puns than you ever knew could exist in the Galaxy.

Nazz gets a package from her mom that contains some of her tools she used to use in the garage. Nazz practically glows, her smile beaming as she says, “I hope these don’t make me tool around more than before.”

You respond quickly, “That was awful. When you’re making a joke about something you just got in the mail, it’s all about the delivery.”

The week ends with you and Nazz fixing up one of the droids in the cafeteria with a voice card Nazz bought in Nar Shaddaa’s red light district. Master Retsma had absolutely no idea why the cafeteria droid insisted calling everyone honey or babe and called itself SX-EB33ST. The two of you could barely control your laughter as you both repeat the words, “Lunch is served,” with as sultry a robot voice you can manage.

Nazz now constantly tries to make you laugh at inappropriate times during classes by whispering to you, “Lunch is served~”

“Stop it,” you whisper amid your giggling.

“What are you going to do?” she asks, “Make me eat those words? For lunch?”

Master Retsma stares curiously at you and Nazz, then continues his lecture on the difference between Naboo and Onderon’s nobility.

The next week you’re asked to choose a lightsaber form to specialize in for the next few weeks of class.

> Form 1 Shii-Cho (Like medieval knights fighting)
> Form 2 Makashi (Dueling with a saber)
> Form 3 Soresu (Pure defense)
> Form 4 Ataru (High energy attacks and defenses that focus on strong, swift movements and ending a battle quickly)
> Form 5 Shien/Djem so (Drunken fist combined with Force abilities that allow for intense acrobatics to be included in a fight)
> Form 6 Niman (A mix of everything)
> Form 7 (A pure continuous offense meant to destroy an opponent before they have the chance to retaliate)

You’re also given the chance to switch out your practice saberstaff for another practice lightsaber if you choose to.

>Yes
>No

>>1015761
> Form 3 Soresu (Pure defense)
or
>> Form 4 Ataru (High energy attacks and defenses that focus on strong, swift movements and ending a battle quickly)
I'd like for just once to avoid the meme "Best" option.

>No

>>1015751
OP delivers!
The Force-disturbers will come to dread the Punny Jedi.

>>1015761
Hmm, gaining proficiency in Soresu might be useful for the times where we absolutely need to hold the line.

>dual wielding sabers
let's give it a whirl

>>1015761
>> Form 7 (A pure continuous offense meant to destroy an opponent before they have the chance to retaliate)

>>1015761
Just a question, could we eventually be proficient in Soresu and Form 7? how long would that take?

>>1015824
Usually takes well into being a Knight to master one form.

>>1015826
Yes, I said proficient. as in being able to use both,knowing when to switch between them, in combat. Not completely mastering them

>>1015761
>> Form 5 Shien/Djem so (Drunken fist combined with Force abilities that allow for intense acrobatics to be included in a fight)

Parry mode, HO!

Also apparently best suited to reverse gripped sabers? Works fine when you can choose forward or backwards at will with saberstaff.

>>1015824
Most jedi at this time choose to learn two forms rather than master one although it depends. Yes, you probably could learn Soresu and Juyo but at the moment you are being asked to focus on one.

Okay, looks like we're keeping the practice saberstaff but there's no consensus on form.

So, final destination vote. First to 3 or whoever has a majority after 5 minutes

>Form 3 Soresu
>Form 5 Shien/Djem So
>Form 7 Juyo

>>1015761
>> Form 5 Shien/Djem so (Drunken fist combined with Force abilities that allow for intense acrobatics to be included in a fight)

>>1015968
>Form 5 Shien/Djem So

>>1015761
Form 7 and single saber. If we lose our staff we can still have a backup and we know we're good at Juyo. It'll be good to keep up with it, plus if an enemy uses it we'd have an edge.

>>1015968
>>Form 7 Juyo

>>1015968
Juyo.

>>1015978
This.

>>1015978
You don't understand it's trading in our staff for something different. Not getting another weapon. Also literally EVERY quest MC picks Juyo for main form. It's not actually all that great since it's got gaping holes in it because the style was never finished properly and has to fit in stopgaps of the other forms. That means it gels together poorly for any fight with a single opponent or group that we don't take out VERY quickly.

>>1015994
The saber staff won for the first part. But I'm glad someone else wants Juyo too.

>>1015968

>Form 5 Shien/Djem So

>>1015968
>>Form 5 Shien/Djem So
Changing to this

Looks like we're going with Juyo. Writing.

>>1015997
I don't care about any other quest homie. Here, our character is good at Juyo. It works. Many masters in the past used it. A Juyo user who has a lot of strength in the force, but isn't an idiot (and we aren't an idiot) can help out a lot.

>tfw you miss the vote because you thought Soresu won

>then we get shacked with Juyo

Oh yay, I love the form that was only actually good when Windu used it.

It's also shit for blocking blaster fire, or when someone just breaks your rhythm. Also tiring as hell.

Oh well, I should have payed more attention if I wanted to vote.

>>1016055
You never know. we could get some godly rolls and end up refining it.

Goody. Guess we'll keep with the "JUYO IS THE BEST FORM EVA!" crowd.


>>1016045
>Here, our character is good at Juyo.
He's 'Good' at a variety of styles. It's not like he favors any particular one, but Juyo, and it's nature goes against how he typically acts. It's aggressive, designs to kill and main and used exactly for that extent. It's also SHIT on defense. Like to the point any decent bounty hunter could snipe us mid battle with ease. To the point having a saberstaff is actually going to slow us down, because it was used primarily to defend and counter.

>Many masters in the past used it.
False only a handful, most of them went Sith to it. It's a rear half style that most jedi never even see or have heard of. It's also INCOMPLETE, so it's inherently massively flawed.

>A Juyo user who has a lot of strength in the force, but isn't an idiot (and we aren't an idiot) can help out a lot.
Even geniuses and people who were renowned for their inner calm lost it. We're neither.

>>1016062
Realistically refining it would entail even more efficient offense, not adding defense to it. It is a full-offensive style and trying to add defense would be counter-intuitive to using that style in the first place. And adding more offense doesn't alleviate any of its flaws.

Not saying the other forms are perfect, but they leave less to be desired overall. Thankfully we get two forms instead of just the one.

I'm really only sour because Juyo in its best variant is Vaapad, and it has a near 100% corruption rate. Windu is the only canon character who didn't go full dark-side from using it, right?

>>1016085
indeed

>>1016085
Yes. If we didn't have the option to work on a second form, I wouldn't have voted for it.

>>1016074
The only use being killing and maiming is actually open to enterpretation. It's main requirement is to have controlled passion in battle. It's fighting hard and taking the fight to the enemy, but not being overly movement oriented like ataru, but it requires control. But seriously though. I get that you have opinions. I like Juyo. You don't but it won. No use crying over spilt milk.

>>1016085
Wait, could we do vaapad. I mean. It would be interesting.

>>1016114

>tfw Vaapad doesn't even exist yet because Windu and Bulq haven't invented it yet

>>1016118
oh. right. woops. Well, we could invent it?

>>1016108
>The only use being killing and maiming is actually open to enterpretation.
There is a reason it is all A no D. It's a killing style, all attack if you stop attacking you die.

>but it requires control
Then how come it is so much easier for a raging out of control sith to use?

>But seriously though. I get that you have opinions. I like Juyo. You don't but it won. No use crying over spilt milk.

So basically because your flawed logic won I shouldn't point out it's flaws?

>>1016129
Not really since it's centuries before that and would be called something else entirely.

>>1016118
How about we work to make something of it, not vapaad of course, but a hybrid? Since qm already said that the cannon is a little more fluid here.

>>1016129
It took two dudes who mastered all the lightsaber forms and skirting along the dark side to invent it with inspiration from some weird tentacle-ball things.

I don't think Pax is gonna cut it.

>>1016137
That would be good.

>>1016135
Jeezy man. It's a story. Qm is taking inspiration from kotor and kotor 2. Several of those masters used juyo. Until old age. One physically taught the jedi exile. But honestly your continued aggravation does less than nothing. There is honestly no more reason for this discussion to continue.

>>1016139
Maybe Master Bruce could though

Although to be fair, Juyo could come in handy for Pax if he's going to take the Shadow route.

What for the second style though? Soresu or Shien?

Just so everyone knows, this is by no means final. You'll have the chance to focus on two more forms before making your pick of what you want to study mainly and even then, you can change it down the line.

>>1016184
Soresu, we will desperately need defense since Juyo has none at all.

>>1016180
Your argument that a small fraction of MASTERS, not Knights, not padawans, MASTERS who are the rarest, wisest, and most powerful Jedi, that a portion of them learned it, that it's a common style? That's stupidity. It's like saying every trained sniper can routinely make shots from miles out. Or that every pilot is a Ace dogfighter. I will continue to point out the flaws in what you are saying, because you keep using them to justify bad ideas. Live with it.

>>1016184
I'd go Shien. Because having full offense and full defense is actually a terrible idea. Because inevitably we'll find someone who has either mastered full offense or full defense solely and then both are rendered useless by them simply outskilling us, or someone who is just plain more powerful and can forcefully change how the battle will go.

You should have at least some adaptability.

I'd say Form I but it's actually pretty shit, a stepping stone more than anything. The basics can only get you so far.

>>1016210
Never said it was common. Now you're just reaching. Just said that there's a precedent, since we've been offered to be taught it in the first place. Besides, our fate isn't set in stone anyways. We're still learning.

> Jedi History
>Lightaber Wielding

>>1016209
For sure. Obi Wan used Ataru until he saw his master get killed by Maul. Then he eventually became the best Soresu dude ever. I just prefer offense to defense.

You spend the next week working on your Juyo with your saberstaff, getting passed the basic steps of the form, you begin to understand the attitude that needs to go behind using it effectively and the reason so few students choose to use Juyo.

The more you fight with the steps, the more you enjoy it. The sequence for the first strike has an almost addictive quality as your muscles dance while your practice saber slams against another student’s knocking them to the ground.

It isn’t a lust for battle or a lust to hurt someone else. It feels more like the satisfaction you got from fixing a circuit on a harvest droid that was being particularly difficult. The feeling was angry to some degree but it was tempered and controlled. You are allowing the emotion to elevate your movement rather than letting yourself be defined and controlled by it.

During one of the sparring matches for class, you notice a Jedi standing off to the side watching you. She has jet black hair and a small form. In one hand she holds a bottle and in the other, her lightsaber.

Once everyone is done sparring, she approaches Master Rogand who gives an announcement.

“Initiates, this is Knight Sepha Phi. She specializes in law-enforcement aid and is here looking for a Padawan. She has asked that any interested step forward to spar with her.

Your entire comment was about how it's widely used so it's not rare. It Is RARE and rarely sued exactly because of how badly balanced it is and poorly used by jedi.

>>1016259
> Spar with her

>>1016259
>Encourage Jorraan to spar with her

>>1016266
Also never said widely used. Said several. Which is more than two, but not many. My original argument also went for at least using our proficiency to guard against Juyo. Again, qm also said that nothing is set in stone, so we may not even choose it.

Juyo is currently rare because either a Jedi must skirt dangerously close to the darkside to learn it or they must not learn it fully and suffer with only a half finished form.

Juyo is incredibly popular among the Sith currently which is a problem since there aren't any defensive forms that consistently counter it. The result is that the Jedi currently want to train a lot of Jedi in Juyo without them falling to the Darkside.

You were chosen because of your natural affinity with the lightside that seems almost effortless from what the masters have seen, so they think it very unlikely that you'd fall.

>>1016259
I think Jorraan might learn s thing or two. Going with this.

>>1016302
>so they think it very unlikely that you'd fall.

>[the sound of death flags flapping in the wind]

>Encourage Jorraan to spar with her

>>1016302
That's what I figured. We're a genuinely good person. Who just so happens to be able to fight really damn well. Like Jackie Chan.

>>1016302
As a zabrak, learning Juyo is probably incredibly dangerous for Paxious.

>>1016317
The darkside doesn't give a fuck about good or bad people. And you know what they say. "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

We still need to be careful. The dark side is a creeping and hidden corruption as much as it is a huge neon sign of probably murdering babies.

>>1016318
Not as long as we have our horn file.
As long as we have the file, everything will work out alright in the end.

>>1016318
Meh. Zabrak are described as proud, self determined and sometimes arrogant. Not that bad. Humans are inherently warlike. Does that mean they are worse to learn Juyo. Let's just go with what Pax is. Nice.

>>1016348
Zabrak typically have a very easy affinity with the dark side.

>>1016338
I do get it. I just mean, by the masters perspective, we have a leg up. It's all about your point of view, even Obi Wan said that when he lied to Luke to his face. We just gotta keep the idea that our enjoyment of battle is more solving problems, like a farm boy fixing mechanical issues, than being an edgelord.

>>1016355
Racist! Not really though. Just kidding. The dark side is everywhere though. Pax ain't a typical Zabrak though. His dad told him to kick a siths ass actually. Apparently hates dark siders, honestly per the narrative I have high hopes for Pax.

>>1016390
The fact that his dad said that massively intrigues me. I have high hopes for Pax and his whole family.

Dad's a sith. Calling it now. Fucking random farmers. Always either evil assholes or chosen ones. Goddamn farms

You nudge Jorraan who stumbles forward and raises his lightsaber. Jorraan has been focussing on learning Ataru and you have to admit, despite the fact that you’ve beaten him every time you’ve sparred, it’s damn scary to watch the truck of a boy running at you like a train.

Jorraan takes out his saberstaff but wields it with one hand rather than two. He charges forward with the staff tucked in like a spear before he stabs forward at Sepha. Sepha sidesteps and grabs Jorraan’s shoulder, promptly throwing him over her head without a second thought. Then she takes a swig from a flask she takes out of her robes.

“You wanna try that again?” she asks Jorraan without looking at him.

Jorraan gets up and charges again. This time the woman spits whatever liquid she drank in his eyes and trips him as he’s blinded.

“No criminal will ever fight fair. There is no honor in losing graciously when you’ve lost to a rapist or a spice dealer who is now going to harm innocents because of your mistake. Be unexpected and be ready for everything,” she says as she takes out the flask and chugs it down, clearly swallowing this time.

Jorraan rolls over and springs up swinging at her again. This time, she opens her lightsaber and deflects his blow. Jorraan falls back into a defensive stance that you recognize as Soresu. He actually doesn’t give an inch despite the Knight’s onslaught. After a minute of the exchange, Sepha pauses, out of breath while Jorraan stands firm.

“Well, there’s something. Good job. Anyone else?” she asks.

Klaitan also volunteers but is promptly put to the ground over and over again. At first, Sepha seems uninterested. But as Klaitan refuses to stay down, she takes greater interest.

“Just say when you’ve had enough and the match is over,” she says as she disarms him again and Force Pushes him to the ground. Klaitan refuses, though. He gets up and continues. Finally, she disarms him for what has to be the tenth time and rather than going to get his saber, Klaitan charges forward with his shoulder and knocks Sepha to the ground, to everyone’s gasping surprise.

“Interesting,” she says as she dusts herself off. “I’ll be around a few other classes to observe.”

The rest of the week passes quickly as you get ready for the next one. Next week, you’re given the choice to learn a few different powers in Advanced Force Techniques.

What will you learn?
