Universe: Star Wars

Timeline: AU, where everything up to RotS happened like it did in Canon/Legends. How things change is semi-complicated. Basically, we're following this timeline, only Vader's replacement was not present for the duel(having wanted his master to die), and someone else took his place(three guesses who..), YOU MUST WATCH IT THROUGH: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X_k02Va4iMs

Year: 22 ABY

Plot: One individual can make a big difference in history if they are in the right place at the right time. In this case, that person is a Jedi Knight who more than 40 years ago fell to the Darkness. Little did the remaining Jedi know that one of their number long thought dead had turned the very night Vader had as well. The last remnants of Sidious' empire, long as vulnerable as a tree in a forest fire, have recently banded together under a mysterious leader. Simultaneously, the fledgling New Republic is burdened with a Senate nearly as corrupt as the old one. Furthermore, several younger Jedi are advocating that the Order sever all ties to the government(*old man senator voice* "darn liberals!").

In the midst of this boiling galaxy is you, one of the Jedi. Except for me, I'm not for plot purposes. You may have three characters, and here are the power rankings (obviously these are broad generalizations- you might be officially lower in rank than your power would suggest, but make it sensible):

Initiate: You know basic Jedi principles, and have decent lightsaber skills, maybe some crappy Force usage.

Padawan: You know most Jedi principles, and have good lightsaber skills, and okay but infrequent Force usage.

Knight: You not only know but understand Jedi philosophy, have great saber skills, and good Force usage.

Adept: An advanced Knight, you have excellent understanding of Jedi teachings, advanced lightsaber skill, and great Force usage.

Master: You possess a deep and heartfelt understanding of your teachings, masterful lightsaber skill, and advanced Force usage.

You can trade a rank of Force skill for a rank of lightsaber if you want. Only one of your characters can be a master. There is also a final rank unattainable by the player:

Grandmaster: An insane amount of lore is in that noggin, with incredible Force usage and lightsaber skill.

Before you try, no, you cannot have "incredible" level powers.
