Alrighty then: Here is your mission, should you choose to accept it. (waves hand) "You will accept the mission."

Make a character, gone bad, reformed, or just flirting on the edge of either. As much as the thread subtitle seems to indicate Force users, it's not a requirement. I hope that leaves you enough room to work with. As loose as this topic is, posting a comment on your character about what you're trying to represent would be helpful for more obscure characters.

Have fun!

Will it need to be a character that falls etc in 'official' story wise (whether or not it is Canon)? (in other words, there is a comic, video game, book etc etc that this occurs in, or we make up our own fallen version of the character, say a sith version of yoda)?

Just want to clarify

Eh, this is supposed to be fun, so I'll say let the Force be your creative guide, but if you're making it up out of whole cloth (or, say from an RPG character) give us enough backstory to make a fair assessment, and try to make it a balanced, playable piece (even if BHC level). Others should judge as they see fit, so proceed at your own risk, lol.

I'll bite, let's get this week started with the very first ever Jedi to fall to the dark side. XoXaan was part of the very first Jedi that walked away from the order and started the Sith. She was known as a master of Dark Side healing and she stored her secrets on a holocron that Ashared Hett (A.K.A future Darth Krayt) discovered and was a major part of what caused him to finally fall and embrace the dark side.

It's rather poorly documented, but as I understand it, that is correct. A character must have Force X to be considered as having a Force rating. Light Tutor is an example - it grants Force 1 if the recipient does not already have Force X, and it is then considered to have a Force rating.

A character can have a Force power (FR1) and Force points to spend, but still not have a Force rating (see Holosid)

Im so happy you did this one. I had an idea for it but I dont think anyone would like to use it in game. My concept was since he was severed from the force that he would become a broken man. withered and fragile. A shell of a man, living only by the most basic meaning of the definition. Dont forget what Yoda said (" Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship. "-Yoda) and the fact that the Force was manipulated to create life (Anakin), that being severed from it would be the most devastating thing you could do to a life form, much less a force sensitive life form. IIRC in the books and comics this punishment was woefully controversial.

Thus it is my theory that he would be woefully weakened by this punishment. (even if we do see him in one last graphic novel, it is my theory that over time, he would have weakened.)

I was going to make him something like:
cost: ?
HP: 10
Defense: 15
Attack: 5
Damage: 20

SA1: ability that he deteriorates to a minimum level, for defense and attack, also his speed over time goes down to speed 2.
SA2: melee
SA3: Unique
SA4: im not sure, something that would actually give you a reason to use him, as after a few turns he would be less than a 3 point ewok.

Im happy you created one as this brings up this great question. From all that we know of the Force and its effect on life (and life's effect on it) what would happen to someone that is severed from the force? Non force sensitive or force sensitive. (obviously the latter the effect(s) would likely be stronger or come on faster).

Ive been thinking of doing Borsk Fey'lya (which would be difficult) or Quinlan Vos, not sure yet.

Mine, because the WotC Komari is useless and horribly over costed

So, as usual, I'm stuck on who. I actually had Four at one point, but I didn't like the answer on whether Valara Saar or the An'ya Kuo were Gray enough, so I've gone with these two.


Maris Brood, Fugitive Padawan This Maris Brood after she's been found and worked with Shaak Ti, before Starkiller made his appearence. Quite the nervous Nellie.






Sora Bulq, Tempted to the Dark Side This is Sora Bulq, just as Dooku is converting him, depressed about the losses at Geonosis and vulnerable.





Hopefully, I think of something before the deadline.

Cheers,

looking to try something different this week, since it's definitely targetted as Force user heavy (but not required)

Faro Argyus

I would say he is part of the "fallen" category as he comes from a long line of loyal soldiers so obviously his betrayal is one of the most surprising for the Republic.

Excellent Ezra! Really like that you have Dominate on there. Also I would have thought Soresu instead of Ataru (Obi-Wan's holocron) or maybe Juyo (Darth Maul haha) but that's just off the top of my head and maybe someone else knows better. What I would change is altering Beast trick. As is it's basically a force ability so I would add that descriptor to it, something else you could consider is making it not replace attacks and instead "usable on this character's turn" cost one force point, this way it's more thematic of him using it on a particular beast or situation rather than just a blanket effect that hurts all savage. But great stuff. And I wonder the rules implications of beast trick versus indiscriminate? Swine can you help here?
