Welcome to Jedi Apprentice Quest, the 'counterpart' to Brine's Sith Apprentice Quest. This shall be run in a similar fashion to his quest, but it's not necessary to have read his content to follow what happens here.

I'll likely be creating a pastebin for this rather soon, perhaps by the end of this first thread. Now let's have some fun.

_____________________

Leaning back against the seat of the transport ship, you feel like you were this close to being able to actually taking a nap and dreaming away all of the issues currently facing you. The jungles of Tython below you whizzing past as the shuttle enters the atmosphere of the planet, the ship jostling just enough to force you back into the land of the living. One of the younger looking males on the ship seems to not be handling even that small amount of rustling very well. It wasn't gonna do to be afraid of every little bump and rustle of the night, Jedi were supposed to be the type that weren't afraid of anything, that was how the stories always went at least. You were probably the oldest 'kid' on this ship, only the Zabrak male down near the entrance looking like he was near your age, the rest being small children with a few younger teenagers here and there. "Attention passengers, we are approaching the Academy, landing procedure will commence within a few minutes. Welcome to Tython."

>>43657475
Keeping your arms crossed and eyes closed, it's not too difficult with a little help from your 'gift' to pick up the words that were being said in the transport, little snippets of things at least. The kids seemed to be scared, muttering mostly among themselves, a few trying to hold back tears, likely from being dragged away from their parents. The teenagers, in a way that honestly you should have expected, are all focused on the more flasy parts of being a Jedi. Excited whispers of lightsabers and the glory that could come from fighting against the Sith, all eager to get a piece of the action.

The Zabrak was keeping quiet, seemed like he was actually asleep based off his breathing patterns, or he was even better at hiding that sort of thing than you were.

One person however, is far more composed than even the sleeping Zabrak is. The human woman sitting right across from you, the only real Jedi on the ship and the one that was tasked with guarding it and the future students that were on their way to the academy, which included you. It seemed like the redhead was busying herself with a holopad, there was always more news coming in over the net about the 'Cold War' as people liked to call it.

Your quest had a toxic as fuck community filled with waifufags before the hiatus. It just had the shittiest community.
>>
>>43657750
Is your quest still the clusterfuck it was in the first 10 threads? Thats no slight against you its just the players all have very different ideas of being a sith and waifuing

Also would you happen to have a pastbin to catch up to date with it

I'll be a first to admit that it was certainly a big problem, I've since done what I can to try and make things less hostile, typically the only times it flares up are in major decisions. Unfortunately I can only do so much to try and influence my readers.

>>43657856
Nah, the MC has a pretty defined personality and for the most part things are less all over the place, while disagreements on how to act will always crop up it's less chaotic now.

And no, but now that you mention it I might make a tl;dr for the quest, though I do recommend reading the archives just because there will be nuances I'll miss in a pastebin
>>
>>43657853
Well, I mean come on.
It's a frigging Sith quest.
It's gonna draw Sithaboos, who are usually self-absorbed asshats.

A few questions pop up in your mind that you could ask the Jedi, how the war is going, what you might be able to expect at the Academy now that you're going to be a student, but with how close you are to landing and disembarking it's probably for the best just to keep to yourself and wait out the rest of the shuttle ride in peace. Dropping the little hearing trick to allow yourself a bit of relative silence, napping is most certainly out of the question, but hey at the very least these last few minutes before you land on Tython can be ones spent in peace.

Everyone grows quiet when the Jedi Temple comes into view, you even pop open your right eye to take a glance out of the viewport. It's a rather beautiful sight you have to admit, if there's one thing the Jedi are good at aside from the whole deadly glowstick and pushing stuff with their minds, it's archetecture. Even the little ones are drawn in by it's beauty... on second thought maybe the Jedi have some kind of natural mind trick in place to screw with anyone that views the temple, make 'em not want to destroy it, you've heard Jedi are sneaky like that at times.

As the landing procedure begins and the shuttle drops down to the entrance of the Academy rather than a normal landing bay, the Zabrak wakes up as well. He yawns out just as the door next to him opens and you're greeted by the sight of several adult Jedi standing there.

"Greetings, new students, if you'd all form a single line line, we'll record your names before you're introduced to the Grand Master." The Twi'lek male asks of the shuttle. Children muttering before starting to do as requested, the Zabrak going first.

Soon enough, it's not too long before your turn.

"And finally, your name and home planet young man?"

Probably a nice way to catch an opponent off-guard, but it could be that mimicking the fine movements needed for lightsaber combat might take too much time to master. We'll have to see.

It does look really cool though. It might also be a good way to kill a lot of droids or unfortunate mooks.

"Zev, no last name, grew up on Nar Shadda." You tell the man as you walk down the ramp, stretching out as you breath in the fresh air of Tython. Compared to your home world it smells like you're inhaling the sweetest treats that the galaxy has ever created, the smog and stench of Nar Shadda left behind... hopefully forever. Being a Jedi was something you never really thought about while growing up, even after you started learning the little 'tricks' that you could do when you concentrate, it simply wasn't the sort of thing a street punk from the slums really thought about. Then again most great generals probably don't think they're going to end up that way either when they sign up for the military.

"Nar Shadda..." The man repeats as he records your information. "Well, even though you might be a bit older than the rest of the students you came in with, I'm sure you'll find Tython to be a nice change of pace to Nar Shadda, and the Jedi a wonderful family to have." He says with a smile, motioning for you to follow along after the rest of the students towards the stairs where you can see a woman is standing at the top of them, flanked by quite a few Jedi.

As you're the last one to fall into line, lazily coming to a stop and standing behind a few of the children, the woman notes that everyone seems to be present and begins speaking.

"Greetings young ones, welcome to the Jedi Temple. I am Saele Shan, the current Grand Master of the Jedi Order. During your time here you will learn the great history of our Order, and how to control your gift of the Force. Despite the stories you may have heard, being a Jedi is far more than simply swinging a lightsaber, and I hope that one day, all of you will become great Jedi." Finishing with a soft smile and a nod "Are there any questions?"

Everyone else seems too afraid to ask...

If everyone else is going to be too afraid of the woman to actually voice their concerns, you'll do it instead. Raising your hand from the back of the small crowd, the woman smiles and and points to you "Yes, young man?" She asks.

"Hi, name is Zev, street rat and trickster extraordinare. Few questions if you don't mind it Grand Master."

Everyone is appealed at the way you just spoke to the woman that might possibly be the most powerful Jedi alive, if that was how this Grand Master thing actually worked out. Still, it seems that she's not incredibly bothered by this and nods to you "Speak Zev, I will answer as best I can."

"Crash." A reply comes from you as you lower your hand and stick it back into your pocket.

"You said you wanted us to all be great Jedi one day, but what does it mean to actually be a Jedi? All most of us probably know is the whole lightsaber and pushing things with your mind, but you say it's a lot more than that, what is a Jedi?" Sounding a whole lot more respectful when you get to the actual question itself.

The Grand Master seems to think for a moment before she replies

"Jedi are the defenders of peace. We protect those that cannot protect themselves and defend them from the evils that lurk in the dark corners of the galaxy."

That reply has a few of the kids shaking

"Jedi are beacons of light and hope, protecters of the Republic, and one day, I hope you'll all be happy to call yourselves one." Changing up her tone a bit to cheer up the kids, while still answering your question... kinda.

Raising your hand once again, the other Jedi Masters look tense while Satele only nods again in your direction.

"Two more questions. When does training start and can I have my blaster back... please?" Hoping the golden word was enough to get you what you wanted. A slight twitch in Satele's brow makes you slightly worried though, and now everyone's eyes really are on you.

"Training of the new students will commence tomorrow, as for the second question... you won't need an uncivilized weapon like that anymore, you have the Force on your side."

Two like Xanth?

Saber in one hand, blaster in the other is my vote.

>>43659199
Single hilt Blue or Green is absolute patrician taste.

Anything else is trying to be a special snowflake.

saber staff with that you mean a saber on a long pole? if so then yeah sweet you don't see those used alot by important characters.

Also Satele, psh. We should go the way of the Hero of Tython. Be awesome, kick ass, mack on our apprentice, get frozen in Carbonite for 5 years while possessed by an immortal sith, mack on a sith lord after we get unfrozen.

The eternal struggle between being too special snowflake and too generic.

Depends on what situations the blaster's gotten him out of. I mean if it's been regularly been saving him since he was a kid, he's going to be more attached than someone that just picked it up in case it was needed.

We should pick up an HK-50 or an HK-51. They seem like a useful thing to have around as a Jedi.

One saber.
Bunch of dirty tricks in our off hand.
Nobody expects to catch a stun baton to the balls in the middle of a saber lock, for example.

"That's really neat and all, but I'd like my blaster back still. No reason a Jedi should deny themselves a weapon to combat evil and darkness with after all right? Especially since people expect Jedi to have a lightsaber, but not a blaster." You make a counterpoint.

Surprisingly Satele simply sighs, placing a hand on her forehead. "You may be allowed to have it later, it shall be discussed by the masters."

Amazing, you're making great progress here in the Jedi Academy, tons of friends are sure to be yours with you painting a giant 'kick me' sign on your back by challenging the Grand Master of the Order like this. No way anything could go wrong... probably.

A cheerful looking grin, stolen away from Satele and plastered on your face, the woman continues on speaking. "With questions out of the way, though it's typically not something we do... I've decided to allow our older new students to show what current skill they have with the force, along with a training lightsaber. In the past we have had students that were former soldiers, or had various types of experience with weapons, it's important to see what you know, thus, you will be challenging some of the more experienced apprentices."

As a table is brought out from the corner, Satele points to the nearby training arena that is just off to the side of where you're standing. "Zev, as our oldest arrival, would you like to go first?"

I still dislike how they have some of that shit categorized. Like Luke used Force Choke in RotJ but according to shit that's full on Dark Side bad evil no-no power.
>>
>>43659788
I think they saw it as "Direct Damage is dark side, because only bad guys want to kill"

Which is silly.

It is silly, but it is a nice list of various powers. Some unexpected ones, as well.

"Yes Ma'am" You simply say, as fun as it is to sorta mess with people and act like a smartass, you probably shouldn't push your luck with the Grand Master right at the start, that's a good way to be judged harshly.

Following the man that is setting up the table, you're presented with a surprising collection of weapons before you. There's a standard looking lightsaber with a rather generic looking design, a much shorter one, likely for a smaller race that would fit awkwardly in your hands, and even on that looks like it could be some kind of double bladed weapon, with the emitters present at both ends.

"Select whatever feels natural to you Zev, let the Force be your guide. Choosing now will most certainly not lock you into learning some specific style of combat." Satele's voice comes from behind you as what feels like hundreds of eyes are on you all at once.

Thats when you notice that what looks like the entire academy has filtered out onto the lawn to watch your match, along with the other matches that are to come.

Fuck

Okay you need to pick a lightsaber, something that you think you can use and win with, even though you haven't met your foe yet.

Depowered, more powerful containment field, gives mostly bruises and light burns instead of chopping your dick off.

Well, they actually have training sabers that are closer to vibroblades. Close enough.

See whats nice about the Single Hilt (Other than looking swag) is that with the Free hand you get a chances to:

>Deck a fool in the face
>Blaster
>Pocket Sand
>etc

But you can also two hand it to give yourself that extra oomph in overpowering opponents.
>>
>>43660067

It's not like we can't learn how to use the other ones later on, either.
>>
>>43660067
I kinda hope we win this current spar with pocket sand. Other guy is being all showy with the force, CHACHA! POCKET SAND! Fucker is left blind and open to an ass whoopin'.
>>
anyway single blade is the baseline and probably the easiest to manipulate without training
>>
>>43660067
But you can take the two blades and use mostly one blade at a time, then surprise mofos with the second blade.
>>
>>43659871
>Single Blade
Idea for long term. Shoot for "dual phase" functionality when we build "our" saber. A dual phase lightsaber's blade has two settings of different lengths, so you can catch people off guard by switching up your saber's length.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dual-phase_lightsaber
>>43660012
ToR's boffer training sabers are fucking retarded and I would be perfectly happy to have proper training sabers instead.
>>
>>43660067
I dunno, feels kind of cheap

And not the edgy cheap shot kick to the balls kind of cheap
>>
>>43660129
Grew up on Nar Shadaa man. I would be surprised if we DIDNT do stuff like that.

Also who needs fair play when you are fighting Sith. Sparring our friends we be fair all we want but Sith shouldn't get any quarter you know?
>>
>>43660129
Hey we're a Jedi saving the galaxy and fighting off the darkness or some shit. If Darth Maul was taken out by pocket sand who's going to talk shit?

Light side hooray and all that good shit.

>>43660129
I'd rather be cheap than dead or dismembered.

Probably best to keep things simple at the start, you've never actually used even a vibroblade so trying anything fancy with more than one lightsaber might make it so you look like a total nerf herder out there. Grabbing hold of the training saber, it doesn't exactly feel right in your hand, certainly useable and comfortable, but not... right.

"That's why each Jedi makes their own lightsaber, when the time comes. Your lightsaber is an extension of you, it should be custom made to fit each Jedi, this is simply the most basic design. Take a few moments to get used to the training blade, turn it on and give it a few swings." Satele tells you.

Doing just that, a blue blade extends from the lightsaber, a low hum can be heard in your hands as you hold a very, very dangerous weapon. "Training sabers are not lethal, they can bruise, and lightly burn, but their settings are far too low to actually cut."

Can this woman read your mind?

Shuddering at the thought, you take a few moments to get used to the weight, or the lackthereof that the lightsaber has. Its a bit of an awkward feeling but one that you think you can get used to... plus you're a smart guy, more than one way to win a fight than brute force.

When you're done, you see a smug human boy is standing in the ring already, dressed in a light tunic with a lightsaber hilt in his hands, the blade green, to contrast with your blue. "Step into the ring and bow Zev, then the match will begin.

"Here goes nothing..." You mutter, stepping into the ring and giving a short bow while the kid does even less of one than you. Seems like he's confident in himself, but willing to give you the first move.

>Attack!
>Wait and defend
>Taunt the kid
>Never said I couldn't use the Force...
>>
>>43660125
I'd be down for that.

The man with 1000 tricks would be a serious bitch to fight.

he's obviously more trained than us

so it's probably time for some force trick

I assume we've used it before then.
