Board Thread:Roleplay Ideas/@comment-26444332-20151216011454

So, in honor of the new Star Wars coming out, and in memory of the old films and the beloved expanded universe, I have decided to make an RP about the events that led to the destruction of the Dark Brotherhood and the annihilation of Jedi sovereignty: the Ruusan campaign.

Brief history of the Ruusan campaign:

During the New Sith Wars, a thousand years before the Battle of Yavin that culminated in the destruction of the first Death Star, the Jedi and Sith were once again at war. Jedi Lords, barons and even kings of entire star systems, fought against the Dark Lords of the Sith and formed an Army of Light with the help of the Republic to challenge the Dark Brotherhood under Lord Kaan. With the Jedi general Lord Hoth and the tactical genius Lord Valenthyne Farfalla at the head of the Army, they successfully defeated Lord Kaan and his warriors in seven separate battles on the planet's surface. However, in the end Lord Kaan wiped out himself, the Sith Order, Lord Hoth, and a hundred Jedi in the detonation of a thought bomb. This led to the Rule of Two in the only surviving Sith, Darth Bane and his apprentice Zannah.

The RP begins with the Sith fortifying Ruusan and the Jedi coming into orbit around the planet as well as making preliminary scout landings. You may be whomever you like, including your own custom races. The galaxy's a big place. Just keep it Star Wars-ish.

Fighting styles(apply to practitioners of lightsaber and other forms of sword-based combat only):

Form I: Shii-Cho, the basics and most like sword fighting.

Form II: Makashi, the refinement of Shii-Cho.

Form III: Soresu, designed to counter opponents wielding ranged weapons. The most defensive style.

Form IV: Ataru, a flowing and aggressive form that relies on agility and power.

Form V: Shien/Djen So, the aggressive and duel-oriented form of Soresu. Made by combining Makashi and Soresu.

Form VI: Niman, the dual-blade style. Made by combining all the previous forms, and thus being a very mixed style that relies on the user's creativity and improvisation. Used mostly by diplomats.

Form VII: Juyo, the most aggressive style, relying on fury and malignant grace. The most vicious of all forms, originally derived from the practitioners of Jar'Kai. Not very graceful, and seemingly uncoordinated, but it gets the job done.

Name: Seraph Winters

Gender: Male

Description: 6'3", average for his kind. Icy blue eyes, and long platinum blonde hair pulled back behind the ears.

Race(if it's a custom race, include a short description): Aetanii. The Aetanii are a humanoid race, with slightly pointed ears and nigh immortality if they aren't killed. They are slightly paler than other races, and they have a tendency to have light-colored hair. They wear grey robes for the most part, but they have a higher Force-sensitive population than most other races. This led to a satellite Temple being built there, and some rogue Jedi independent from the Order taking over as lords and princes above them. The Aetanii, being a simple people accustomed more to the bow than the blaster, accepted them as rulers, and eventually the Aetanii Chosen(the ones able to wield the Force) took over as princes in their stead. They quickly learnt how to build ships and weapons of surpassing might, and have taken to the stars as wayfarers and explorers. However, since the war began, they have banded together to fight alongside the Jedi, and now use their sleek starships and powerful weapons in the battle against the Dark Brotherhood.
