[meme] Test Drive

[citycouncil]

Tag into this post with characters you're thinking of apping to the game (characters who are not currently in-game or currently reserved by someone else). It can be just a tag, a brief EP, a blurb about the character, a line of dialogue, or whatever you want. You can be new to the game, or simply want to test out a fresh pup. Tag each other with these characters or those already in game, and have fun.

Also, please include the name of their canon somewhere in or on the comment or on their profile page.

All of this was a myth a few days ago. I don't know what this means.

I'm sure it's quite a shock to learn about it so far into your life. Where we are there is no Council to ask for advice, though there seem to be rather a lot of Jedis. We will help you understand the power inside you.

What does it mean, really, to be a Jedi Knight?

[okenobi]

Asking a question like that is a good start.

At its core, being a Jedi is about putting aside your own needs to serve others. Our talents in The Force are used as a means to that end. The Force is all around us, within every living thing, but only a very few of us are able to sense it, to become attuned to it and use the power it grants us for good.

Not all Jedis are knights. Those of us who choose to follow that path do so to become guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy. We are trained to use the force in different ways, including in battle. Using The Force during a fight can be a very powerful tool, but that power can very quickly corrupt. For this reason we are trained to find balance, to learn to wield this power without letting it distort our purpose.

I don't know if I'm that kind of person. I know that I was able to use the Force and a lightsaber but I'm also a scavenger from Jakku. At least, that's what I was. I'm not anymore but I don't know if I can really be what you're describing.

Being able to use the Force and wield a saber without training of any kind makes you exactly the right sort of person. Even if you don’t become a Knight, you could do a lot of good as part of the Order. Regardless of what you decide, now that you’re aware of your connection to the Force, you have the opportunity to use that power for good.

All I know, really, is that I met someone who went to the Dark Side. I don't know much about the Force but I know I won't be like him.

[okenobi]

The Dark Side is always lurking, trying to sway us, seduce us. But I agree with you; you are strong and dedicated to the Light. Anything you set your mind to, you are destined for something important, something great.
