As we all know, each Jedi or Sith has a different sort of talent, a field that they excel in. For instance, icon!Ani excels at pelvic thrusty dances.

So please comment below with your Jedi character's actual skills. I'll start.

( Becca's characters' skillz )

So essentially the minimum of what I'm looking for is like... the top two skills your Jedi character excels in. This will help the councilchambers in selecting the Jedi who will be going on missions, and will be a good reference.

The new (again) application post.

Anyway, welcome to omg_lightsaber. Before applying, read the rules, which are located in the userinfo. A brief summary of how to play can be found there too.

Reply to this post with the application all filled out, and then wait for approval. It's that easy. If you have any questions, you can ask me via my contact info in my profile.

Thanks for checking us out, and may the crack be with you!

Application:

Your name:

A short post by your character:

I swear I'll stop posting in the comm soon, I just don't want to make any huge changes that will piss anybody off without putting it up for discussion first (or during). ^_^

( Updates, Answers, and Requests )

It's snowing.

SO! In the effort of spicing up the RP, I've spent the last 8 hours thinking about ways to add interest and I'd like some feedback.

Ideas:
-I plan on using holonet_news more to inform the gathered populous of the news.
-There will be more posts from ancient_enemy regarding the movements of the Sith.
-There will be messages from the High Council, assigning your characters to missions and such.
-There will be new dangers from various sources, detailed in messages from the Council or news articles.
-Guess what? FEAR OF DEATH. There will be a chance of death on missions. I'm probably going to do a random roll or something. It'll be a very very slim chance and you can probably get out of it, but that chance is there.

What do you think?

And I need to ask something of you! Please submit some plot ideas below. I have a big long list here on my yellow legal paper of plot ideas, but I would like some other suggestions. Comments are screened, so go wild with the ideas. Submit heaps of them. Please!

Thanks for bearing with me and putting your suggestions in. I can't keep this thing alive on my own!

So, just a quick heads up.

After decades of awesome mod-ing and totally cool community building (that sounds very office-y), Megan passed on moderation of our beloved OMG_LS to me. I'd like to do some cleaning up of the userinfo and so on. So here's a brief list of changes I've made right now (very minor changes) and things I'd like to implement.

-I've taken a few characters out of the userinfo.

-I'd like to make an adoption list of existing journals from character's we've dropped.
-I'd like to resume the weekly summaries (this week: nothing happened)
-I'd like to enforce the at least once every two weeks posting thing (even though I'm just as guilty as everyone else. Heh.)

So, what I'd like from you guys (those of you who still read/post/update/etc) is:
1. A list of character journals for characters you have given up. I don't need the password, just the journal name.
2. A 'shout out' from those of you who are still interested in reading/posting/updating/etc.

It's gift exchange time again! Our lovely mod has allowed me the honor of running it. Please go HERE to sign up your characters. (Don't reply to this post to sign up, as comments aren't screened here) The gift ideas are meant to be a guide for the other characters to use while "shopping" - they can be as simple or as cracky elaborate as you wish.

Any volunteers for a character to host the party? D! wouldn't mind doing it but I thought I'd see if someone else wanted to ^_^

Hullo there, this is Becca reporting.

I've decided that to replace the angsty boy shaped void left by Ani, I'm taking on a similar character (yet not THE MAIN CHARACTER IN A SIX MOVIE SAGA WHO HAS TO BE RIGHT OR ELSE and therefore frustrating type).

Here is Drake Lo'gaan (which is the MOST Gary Stu name I've EVER HEARD and it amuses me) who is an emo punk at the moment.

He has just returned from an extended mission offworld, is tall, scrawny, and rarely behaves himself by dressing in robes.

Friend him, so that he may irritate the hell out of your characters with his constant insistence that his soul is the essense of thorns and his heart bleeds rosepetals.

Edit: He is turning 17 on the 15th of Dec, and is IC.

Soooo finally after much indecision and waffling, I've decided to give up Ani. I can't really get a good grasp on his character and so I figured I'd let him go up for adoption.

Megan, if anyone wants IC!Ani, gimme a holler and I'll give up the password.

Poor abandoned Ani. lol

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/J._K._Burtola

So, this is Amber's new character. He's 12, and he may have an interesting background...or he might just be boring. I haven't decided yet. But he's ....around, anyway.

I fail. At the time I returned, I had figured employment would be several months off. However, I got called up about a week after I posted my intent to come back. D'oh! Since I'm leaving for my post in a week and a half and will be doing 3 months of training in various locations, I don't think I'll be of much use. Sorry. If you're going to be going to Tijuana in 2008, you can find me working the Otay Mesa port of entry. You can try a Jedi mindtrick, but I'm still going to take your produce away XD

Hello all! This is strangealchemy, former writer of:

lilgreenfreak - Crack Master Yoda (obviously OOC)

iluvdemocracy - IC!Palpatine

wheezygreevy - OOC!Greevy

deathtomeatbags - HK-47, IC IIRC. Even the canon's unclear on him

jedigonesane - IC!Depa Billaba

I'm hereby requesting to rejoin the game. *bakes cookies for modly Megan*

I'd love to take back Yoda and Palpatine if they haven't been replaced. Greevy's been away setting up the most evil bar in the galaxy, but he's ready to turn the lights off and get down to business. I don't know if Depa or HK would be needed. Depa's pretty catatonic, but HK's always willing to serve interested parties in need of a loyal and homicidal protocol droid.

I'm putting Depa up for adoption. I don't play her very much as it is and fail at coming up with plots for her sooooo just seems like the thing to do. I know some of you have oodles of characters that also aren't played very much but I feel bad not paying as much attention to her as to my other two. I guess I'm just weird like that.

I'm going to say she's off on an extended mission in the Outer Rim somewhere. If someone wants to take over her character, you could have any number of things happen to change her personality or whatever when she comes back if desired. And if no one takes her over and you guys want her for something plotty, I could NPC her if you want me to.

Just letting people know I'm cleaning out the NPC icons.  If there's any I've taken down that you all don't have saved, let me know, I'm saving them all.

Soooo, I think I'm going to drop Pinky and pick up Garen Muln because he's slightly more of an actual canon-ish character than Pinky. And I think I might just keep the same journal, namelessjedi for him. It's not as appropriate but I think I can pull it off since it's kinda generic. Actually, I think I might keep the same PB too. Annnnywho, I think he's going to be IC!Garen but I've not quite yet decided.

Also, for my own and everyone else's reference:

( Jedi Council Members )

So because I have nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon but trawl through the intarwebz (well, actually, technically I do have something better, my Poli Sci paper, but ... *whistles innocently*), I happened to run across The Doll Factory, a beautiful site purveying dolls from all fandoms. Regrettably, female only.

Nevertheless I did manage to find some applicable to our characters and am putting them below for your character userinfo pleasure.

( Click me! )

So my typist wanted a twinky gay character after watching a bunch of Queer as Folk, so she decided to create me to whore it up around here.

Add me for a fun time. joc_sah

So, since I'll be mostly gone too...*is a sheep..baaaaah*

ooc!Ani: Ani is on a mission, one that was deemed to dangerous for him to take Aoife along. He's currently somewhere in the Outer Rim, possibly near Hutt Space with that Tusken Raider Jedi, contemplating killing him and having flashbacks of his mother's death. He currently hates me for making his life difficult. He sent out messages to all his lovers, pals, and "very good friends" to let them know he'll be gone.

ic!Qui: Is, as always, teaching his classes, taking random people's sexual histories and being tempted by Adi. He's not so tempted that he'd ever do anything with her, just needs to wank a lot, especially since Obi's not there. When he's not teaching, he's kept busy with Kali-Rose.

ooc!Mace & ic!Ferus: Mace and Ferus have gone a mission together. This is not Ferus's Trials, mostly just a mission for Mace to observe Ferus for himself. The mission itself is mostly just ground fighting and possibly (since Megan is away as well) Barriss is with them.

ooc!Olee & ooc!Bardan: These two, as usual, are just hanging out in the Archives. Olee is probably helping Liam with his grammar and spelling and probably looking after Aoife too. Bardan is just hanging out with Olee.

ic!Pinky: Pinky has been spending quite a lot of time meditating to make sense of having returned to a Temple that's not exactly the Temple he remembers from before his mission. He may or may not have contacted Alain a few times and had him over for...lunch or something. ETA: I've also decided he's gone to talk to Qui about OMG SEX IN THE JEDI TEMPLE! thing even though I'm sure Alain's already enlightened him about that. Moreso than he has. He may also be eyebrow waggling and inviting Serra out for dinner at some point.

ooc!Stass: Stass will eventually get down to those sexual health check ups, but as of now is probably helping out Adi and Qui with the baby-watching and taking care of all the injured Jedi being shipped in from the front.

ooc!Darth Bob Plagueis: Darth Bob Plagueis is still being smug over having chopped off Anakin's arm and unnerved Dantius about the whole ability to de-age thing. He is also pissed at his typist since she keeps meaning to post as him but forgetting. He will probably be updated sometime soon after the 19th or so. Other than that, he's just been hanging out in his apartment, shooting up and killing people at random.

ETA: OMG I forgot Padme.

ic!Padme: Padme is being boring...i.e. doing work in the Senate and probably meeting with the appropriate people to form some sort of Anti-Palpatine War Club that only the COOL Senators can join.

Fuck. I have a lot of characters. I'm only counting Bardan, Olee, and Stass as half characters though. I've decided.

*follows the trend* *mostly because it's easier than writing another five pages right now*

Soooo I'm leaving tomorrow (in case you hadn't figured that out yet). I definitely won't be around tomorrow and Saturday (my aunt and uncle only have dial-up, boo), and probably not much for the rest of the week, depending on whether or not I get to hijack the internet when we aren't doing stuff what we're doing (and how well I adjust to the time difference - speaking of which, I need to figure out how to set the time on my watch). I'll be back on a regular schedule late in the evening on the 21st. (And then I get to take more classes. *sigh* Can I graduate yet?)

Anyway, you can generally assume that my characters are doing mysterious character-y stuff...or just sexing up their significant others all the time, one of the two. (Probably the latter.)

So why have I not been around lately? Well, basically, school has eaten my brain, both literally and figuratively. So has computer crap -- I had to switch laptops due to the old one finally dying on me, so that kept me out of action for a number of days. I hesitate to use those as excuses but, them's the facts. But I'm back now, hopefully for the long term.

Here's what my characters have been up to (and I will be making them all post this afternoon, I have told myself that I am not allowed to look on FF.net or write fanfic until that's done *snicker*):

IC!Mon: Mon had quite a shock at Aoife's birthday party, what with Lily appearing suddenly and unexpectedly like that but damn it made for good plottage. She's still trying to recover from that. Also, she's finally decided to stop being so secretive about her sexual orientation.

OOC!Padme: Is her usual spacey self. She does come down off her cloud somewhat more often to mingle with mere mortals, however. She's decided, for better or worse, to pursue her friendship/relationship/whatevership with her!Ani, but she's also willing to branch out if anyone (male and female alike) is interested.

OOC!Aayla: *is busy smoking poppies* *missed the Council meeting because of said smoking* *smoke smoke smoke* 'M sorry ... were you talking? *still wants to have a non-strikeout threesome with Mon and Quin*

OOC!Yaddle: She's busy in the archives as usual. And busy adding to her collection of leather pants and show tunes.

OOC!Bail: *got his ear pierced the other day* *wants to show it off to Obi*

As you saw in the other post I just made, my computer is getting sent off for repairs.

In my absense, my characters are doing the following.

IC!Obi: *gets called off suddenly on a mission somewhere filled with Seperatist activity* *shares a tearful and seckztastic goodbye with Qui and is off doing that*

IC!Ani: *is probably there too* *yay dynamic duo*

OOC!Adi: *continues being a milf and tempting Qui in all sorts of soft womanly and completely unintentional ways* *probably heads over to chat Stass up so she can get ALL kinds of birth control for when she's allowed sex again* *has a calendar and is counting the days*

OOC!Qui: Spends most of his time on Coruscant, doing... things. Nobody at the temple knows what the hell he's doing all the time, but that's what he's doing. (they probably should find out, though.)

IC!Liam: Yes, wii little Liam is IC. He spends his time being a youngling. Classes, dancing lessons calisthenics, and playing with friends. He probably hangs out around Ani and Aoife a lot, given that Ani has lizards and Aoife's cute.

Alain: Plays shows, sexes up people, sexes up more people, has creative sexin happening... Woo.

Soooooo we'll see how long it'll take to get my computer-love back.

I'll probably make it on during work now and then. Mostly to finish/continue current threads, though.

Talk to you all later.

So I've been a god-awful rp-er for Kit, but I'd like to rectify that. Therefore, would anyone like to come rp with me?

So, I've (Amber) decided to play Pinky.

Yes, he's a barely-named EU character that maybe is in one comic (and the Swedes say he's Obi-Wan anyway, but I'm going with the English version that doesn't) but he sort of is mysterious and that's kind of fun. I'm still developing him a bit but I have a pretty good idea how I want to play him. So...yay!

So everyone please add namelessjedi

Hullo, it's me, sweet_panda/Becca. I've decided to play the now eleven-year-old Liam.

He likes puppies, frogs, and mud.

Friend wiiliam and lurve him!

So, um, hi. I'm Jyl. My typist totally decided (with a bit of egging on from other people) that you all needed mental help...and here I am! Though I'm not an actual healer...that's a minor detail. I've been studying all sorts of interesting things in my spare time, and I'm ready to dig in and get some practical experience. I do therapy of all sorts - including relationship counseling. But not sexual therapy, you perverts. I believe that's more Master Jinn's area of expertise, anyway.

...add me? My door's always open!

This journal is omg_lightsaber's news journal. Let me(Amber) explain.

This journal is like omglsnpc in that it's a journal anyone can use. It will be used mostly as a plot device in that anyone can randomly post a news article or a gossip column or whatever about another character. For example, someone-anyone-(let's just say Wendy did for the hell of it) could post something like this:

Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn was spotted last weekend canoodling with Jedi Babe Aayla Secura in the exclusive Skysitter Restaurant. The two were reported to have had nothing but champagne and caviar and eyewitnesses claim that Secura disappeared under the table for quite some time while Jinn looked rather flushed. Jinn has been romantically linked to several other Jedi, most notably his former Padawan, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi but also Jedi Master Mace Windu, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, and a pregnant Jedi Master Adi Gallia. Secura was last photographed sharing a meal with Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker at a bar in the lower levels. Neither could be reached for comments.


---
So that's what might be posted. Then the characters mentioned (or their significant others or whatever) could act accordingly. It doesn't necessarily have to be about your own characters. After all, the above article was to have been posted by Wendy but her characters wouldn't be involved. Well, that is unless D! wanted to know about Ani being mentioned. Or whatever. See, plottage! Weee!

And I mean, let's face it. With the amount of public sex that goes on in game, someone's bound to be caught sometime.

It could also be used for actual non-gossipy news like missions that go well (or horribly wrong), protests against the war, political campaigns. Whatever.

Anyway, that was my idea. If it doesn't work...screw it. ^_^

The password for this journal is the same as the NPC journal.

So everyone please add holonet_news to their friends list.

♥
Amber

ETA: Wendy brought this up. If the news is going to be...earth-shatteringly devastating to the other character...or even if it's questionable whether the person playing the character it's about might not like it, they should probably get permission with that character's typist first. But also, as it is the news and people do ignore the news, if something is posted about your character that your character doesn't want to address, you can just have them ignore it. But yes, if you're in question about whether a typist would go for the article thing, ask them first.

So yeah, I, (elledwen/Amber), am taking over IC!Padme. I've been itching to have a politician for ages and so...why not Padme, since she's free. Woo!. Do not ask how many characters I have now. It's far too many. Although Stass is only 1/4 character...and Bardan, DP, and Olee are more like 1/2 characters. Anyway, yeah, the end.

Add bail_unplugged. He may be a politician but he sure knows how to have a good time.

A new typist I have! senatorsfan, her name appears to be. Playing new_age_padme, she also will be. But more attention to me, she has promised to pay. Believe that when I see it, I will. Ouch! Slapped me she has! Informed me she treats all characters EQUALLY, she has. See, we will.

((Backwards-speak is fuuun.))

So, I have a few character journals that I'm thinking I'll put up for grabs. And by few, I mean two (though techinically three).

lil_librarian is OOC!Yaddle. She's Yoda-shaped, cute, and loves Qui-Gon in leather pants. Hey, who doesn't love Qui-Gon in leather pants? Also has a love of showtunes and Michael Crawford.

new_age_padme is OOC!Padme. She has a troubled past but I've got a cracky idea how to get around that (that's not cracky at all given the things that go on here at omg_lightsaber). Currently she's a free-spirit, tree-hugging, crystal-worshipping, aura-picking hippy. Although really, I only played her that way a little so she could technically be played how anyone wants to play her.

jaded_dustbin is OOC!R2D2. He curses like a sailor, hates all Jedi except Qui-Gon, and has a personal vendetta against OOC!Anakin. Also, he has loads of porn in his memory banks, a roboclaw, and is/was deemed the Chosen One by OOC!Yoda (who, incidentally, is also his master). ETA: I've decided I miss playing R2 and I think I'll take him up again.

If anyone wants these, let me know and I'll hook you up. Or you know, you can make your own journal, too.

Also, we should totally have a Yoda. And an IC!Palpatine. And maybe a Dooku. *is slapped by her inner-Qui and/or inner-Ani* Oooh and I miss our Tru Veld. We should have more Anakin-aged Jedi..you know, that aren't played by me. And a Kit Fisto. Oh, and maybe a Tholme. And a Bail Organa! AND omg! A Ki-Adi-Mundi (although truth be told, I'm still contemplating taking him on myself). Anyway, the end.

Sorry I haven't been around.

Here's what my characters are up to:

notfromajedi: Working at the Senate, conducting SuperSekritSithly business, going to the Dark Side (bar), convincing Grievous to take a night off and go clubbing with him like the good old days.

depagonedarkish: Totally went on a mission, somewhere... cuz that's what she does. She's good at field work and she likes having more freedom to get high, I just fail at coming up with plausible missions for her to go on. But yeah, she went offworld somewhere.

padawan_aoife: Classes, training, etc. Probably spending time with Ani. I dunno.

If any of them are needed for stuff, let me know.

Hey all! I, senatorsfan, will now be playing OOC!Aayla Secura because I wanted to have a Jedi in addition to all my politicians, dammit! She's back and active, so add her if you haven't, comm her, sex her up etc.

Add ghostytahl. Everybody needs a little haunting in their lives.

heya all, im playing OOC! Ventress, it going to posted up on my journal, so i dont have to many more LJ's Lol, ive already posted too, lucky me!
bieng in Aust. its now, at 425pm, less then 12 hours to xmas.  god ill be happy when its over

*sent out...today to everyone except DP*

Amber: *posts an invitation that makes everyone happy*




((As per usual, the party will go on through the weekend and last...till whenever it ends. Either Wendy or I will make a party thread post on the day.))

Hey everybody! IC!Padme is going to be played by Alice/senatorsfan now. And you don't even have to friend a new journal. Yay!

I think everyone will be happy with this change as she'll play her more often and with more enthusiasm than I did.

~Wendy out!

Fear the Dark Side and its users. They have a journal now.

Friend ancientenemy. It has friended you. BUAHAHAH.

>.>

Hi everyone! I'm Alice/senatorsfan and I will be playing IC!Mon Mothma, known as chandrilalily here on LJ. I've done a bit of RPing before, mostly of the D&D (*ducks*) variety. However I also maintain an independent RPing journal on here and do some casual stuff with my friends. I'm not the most experienced RPer on earth, but I'm willing to learn as I go and most importantly, have FUN!

And Mon? Well, being an IC! character she is obviously somewhat reserved, but as it's me playing her (the half-arsed slightly insane university student), she may occasionally venture OOC! from time to time. I'll try to keep that stuff to a minimum, I promise. Or will I? *winks*

Anyhow, add away!

It is I, eaglecrash. Yay! Whatever. Anyway, I've taken on the character I've wanted to play from the beginning, so there you are.

My IC Palpatine will be quite a bit more approachable than our previous one, so feel free to interact with him. He has realized he's the one who's not in the right universe, and he's quite lost. He may be prone to fits of madness, eventually, but not the sort of madness we know and love from Wendy's Palpy. Oddly enough, he's actually a little... sad. And that makes him angry.

So I've decided to take another character. We're losing all our Padawans. Nooo! Padawans are happiness! Anyway, I decided NOT to go with the overly pretty PB, Megan cause my inner-Ani was bulking and feeling insecure. He still feels insecure about this PB but my inner-Qui is kicking him into submission for this one.

Anyway, Bardan Jusik. bardan. Add him.

Bardan on Wookieepedia and the reason he's writing his journal entries to an Null class ARC commando called Ordo
