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.

I think we can agree on that.

I hope he hasn't repeated my failures.

[reluctant_jedi]

The last time I talked to him, he appears to on track to correct his path.

How did you fail?

[ex_thelostjedi208]

...one of my students turned to the Dark Side and killed the rest.

[reluctant_jedi]

Not all that different at all.

Let me guess, you feel responsible for that.

[ex_thelostjedi208]

Shouldn't I be? It was my task to guide him, to teach him, be his mentor as Yoda and Obi-Wan were for me.

One would think that I, more than anyone, would know the temptation and stakes. And yet I still failed.

[reluctant_jedi]

Your student made his own choices, Skywalker. You guide, you teach,but in the end, your student was responsible for the path he chose. And you're a good teacher, kind and compassionate. Must be the farmboy still hiding under the Jedi robes.

[ex_thelostjedi208]

I should have shown him a better path.

[reluctant_jedi]

If I know you at all, and I do, you showed him the right path. It isn't in you not to.

[ex_thelostjedi208]

You know a different me.

[reluctant_jedi]

The two aren't so different as you might think.

The Skywalker I know made mistakes with his students as well. He closed his academy rather than continue, then set on his own path alone, helping when the New Republic needed him. He used that time to further his understanding of the Force.

[ex_thelostjedi208]

Perhaps. [He didn't exactly have anything left to close, but he could concede her point.]

Why did you leave?

[reluctant_jedi]

I wasn't ready; I'm still not ready. Not for what's required.

No matter how much my...my Luke might think differently.

[ex_thelostjedi208]

Do you think there is something to loose in becoming a Jedi?

[He would politely miss the slip of words.]

[reluctant_jedi]

There's the sacrifice every Jedi makes. I'm not ready to make that sacrifice.

[ex_thelostjedi208]

And what sacrifice do you think that is?

[reluctant_jedi]

It's different for everyone, you told me. Something every student has to face, or overcome, before becoming a Jedi. You told me yours was facing Vader, that you misunderstood Yoda, and thought it meant you had to kill him or he would kill you.

[ex_thelostjedi208]

That doesn't answer my question.

[reluctant_jedi]

If you mean mine, I don't know. I've never reached that point.

[ex_thelostjedi208]

Why do you fear it so much then?

[reluctant_jedi]

I don't fear it. I'm just not ready to declare myself ready to serve the Galaxy.

[Clear sense of a lie]

[ex_thelostjedi208]

Do you expect me to believe that?

[reluctant_jedi]

Sometimes you really annoy me, Skywalker.

[ex_thelostjedi208]

You probably get along well with Han, don't you?

[reluctant_jedi]

It took a while, but when I helped save the twins from being kidnapped then kept C'Baoth from killing you and Leia, he decided I wasn't all bad.

[ex_thelostjedi208]

...twins?
