There is no weakness, there is awesomeness.
There is no being stupid, there is being smart.
Through being smart, I troll wittly.
Through being witty, I evade the MODs.
They won't catch me, the Alliance will set me Free
><><Ͽ{The OT Academy}Ͼ><><
Welcome everyone to the diagnostic/explanation/elaboration area for the new RP board, "The OT Academy." The idea is complicated, but a load of fun, so let me explain.
This is to be a social, interactive forum. People will have their characters interact, sometimes even go on missions together. What is to be formed here is a community amongst characters, with ongoing relationships, rivalries and encounters.
The year is set 100 years before TOR, the place is Tatooine. The idea of "The OT Academy" is to start a Force-using character from their roots. Your first post will be you being brought into the Academy, and your situation you find yourself in. Over the course of your stay in the Academy, you will be delivered quests... missions and the sort, in order to gain prestige, to earn titles like OT Defender, Mastah, and perhaps if you stick with it long enough, Councilor.
The idea is that with each mission given to you, you are to write and elaborate on how your character completes these missions. Once you are finished and you post, the GM will grade your post according to creativity, grammatical accuracy, and entertainment value. You will gain a certain amount of Prestige points, which go towards your ranking in the Academy.
You'll start out as an Young One. Your first mission will be to do something to impress a jedi master to become your mentor. Then you will become a Postawan.
As a Postawan, you must also create a "Mastah" that will accompany you on quests until you reach Knighthood. (Note: You won't be in the Postawan stage for long, so don't worry too much on the background of your Master... unless you really feel like going all out.)
When you reach enough Prestige points to earn the title, OT Defender, you will be assigned three missions according to the standards of the OT Trials. You will be given a set amount of points you will need to achieve in order to pass the trials, and if your writing and story do not pass, then you will have to try again later. According to how you finish these trials and the pattern in which you have written past missions, the master will suggest which color lightsaber crystal you take, and whether they think you best suited for the Knight, Warrior or Superior.
After attaining the rank of OT Defender, you are permitted to create a character sheet for your very own Postawan, that you will add into your mission posts.
Once you have attained enough Prestige points to become a OT Mastah, you will be given the task of testing your own Postawan for Knighthood. You must write out your postawan's three trials, and they must succeed if you are to gain the title of Mastah, similar to the Knight trials.
Eventually your Prestige will get high enough for you to work for the title of Councilor. Here you will be assigned a mission to retrieve an ancient artifact. The manner in which you do so must be sustaining with the OT Code, and the customs of your chosen class. Here you will also be assigned a lot of points that you will be graded on for cannon accuracy, entertainment and grammatical accuracy.
I hope this all makes sense. If you have any questions please write them here so everyone can see them. I will post a graph showing required prestige points for each rank upgrade and the bonuses that come with each.
If you're interested, use the Character Creation Sheet provided below. Since we're starting our characters out new, the only Bio you'll really need is where they were born, and how they were brought to the Academy. Post your character sheet here and i'll make the board for the actual In Character writing.
