Knowledge begets power. There is action, yet there is sensibility. Unity brings strength. There is destruction, yet there is creation. A cycle of birth, death, and rebirth within the Force. I am the hub of the wheel on which the Force turns. I refused light. I rejected darkness. I have felt the death of the Force. I have seen its glorious rebirth. I make my own path through the shadows of the Force. "We defend and attack, we hide and we go outright. We are balance. We cannot have one without the other, lest we sway too far. The Force isn't about "sides", it's about unity." -Jacen Aarin Solo to Jaina Solo, Zasabi Ray, and later, to Vechlin Alltemi Who are the Shadows? The Shadow Order of Jedi exists as an independent faction that is of a neutral political orientation. The sole focus of this order is to embrace open minds within their ranks, and the purpose that they strive towards is to teach these initiates the ways of the subtle, yet omnipresent force. Unlike the ever growing ruthlessness of the Sith, or on another scale the overwhelming arrogance of the Jedi within the New Republic, the Shadow Order do not preach either Dark or Light, Yin or Yan and either or. Instead, they present each initiate with both sides of the force, offering both the Yin inspired Light side of the force, with its contemplation and overall passive assistance, and the more Yan inclined Dark side of the force, meeting problematic situations with passion and aggression. In doing so, they believe this offers promising adepts a more balanced view of the force. Though the Shadows of today follow the ideal of balance in the force, the known Shadows of the Order itself have yet to realize and master the concept, though with hope, the leaders of today's time plan on bringing these principals to life once again, neglecting neither the light or dark sides of the force, bringing them together in unison as the more ancient Shadow Lords have taught. What is the structure of the Order? The Shadow faction has a hierarchical structure made up of the following tiers: Shadow Patriarch Prerequisites:Nomination. The Shadow Order is lead by one person, the Patriarch. In the history of the faction the Patriarch has often been an elected Preacher from the Order, but in more recent times a new Patriarch is only ever appointed when the former Patriarch steps down. Shadow Praetor Prerequisites: Lightsaber;Understanding of the force; Appointed by Patriarch Created to ensure the longevity of the order, they are enforcers of the Shadow way of life. In rank he/she is similar to the Patriarch and will carry out many of the same duties. Though not originally a rank of the Shadow Order, this role would support the actions of the Shadow Patriarch as second in command, carrying out his goals while having access to faction resources under the Patriarch's juresdiction. Shadow Preachers Perquisites:Lightsaber;Assertive to the order. Shadow Preachers are masters of the force and lightsaber techniques. The sole purpose of their role is to provide help and support. They train the lesser ranks in basics and master techniques, and support the patriarch in leadership during war. They are considered the High Zealots of the order. Shadow Acolytes Prerequisites: Lightsaber or FU lvl 4+ Shadow Acolytes are the protectors and ambassadors of the Shadow Order. They are responsible for the defence of the faction against its enemies, and any other factor that would threaten to pierce their veil of secrecy. They are also urged to train the Shadow Initiates in basics whenever possible. Acolytes are expected to follow the guidance of their Shadow Preacher until they are ready to be ordained as a Preacher themselves. Shadow Initiates All new members of the Shadow Order of Jedi start at the level of initiate. Each Initiate is assigned a Shadow Assassin, Preacher, or Acolyte, who is responsible for their force and lightsaber training. Soldier/Pilot Ranks (Non-FU) These Ranks are considered a part of the full list of rankings. Shadow Honour Guard Prerequisites: Worthy by word of Shadow Preacher A Shadow Honour Guard posses the skills of an Elite commando and the leadership skills of a Shadow Preacher. They lead both the standing army and fleet of the Shadow Military during war. Substantial pay, and control of faction's military, though under the word of the Patriarch. Shadow Elite Prerequisites: Excellence in battle A Shadow Elite commando excels in the heat of battle, with the ability to pilot ships, splice security, and use gun weapons with ease and precision. All Shadow Military units are trained in the arts of stealth and combat, primarily by the Shadow Preachers. Increased Pay. Shadow Soldier A Shadow Soldier is considered the backbone to the Shadow Military. They posses the skills necissary to pilot ships and fight on the ground simultaneously. They continue to develop their battle skills in training with the Shadow Acolytes, Preachers, Praetor, and Patriarch. Basic Pay Shadow Praetor Sithlore: Star Wars Roleplaying

With control, an adept may change how something does something that it normally does, but they may not make it do something it would not normally do. "Sense allows the Force User to sense the flow of the Force, how it connects the various pieces of the galaxy and the disturbances within the force. "The Alter skill allows a Force User to change the way the Force flows through the galaxy, thus enabling them to make things do things they would not normally do, such as fly or spontaneously combust." LIMITATION KEY PER-MONTH 1 Force User Level 1 Control/Sense/Alter Level 2 Force Powers STRONG WITH THE FORCE LIMITATIONS Strong with the force is awarded to elite Roleplayers. It is NOT awarded to everyone and one must truely earn it. Some examples of how to earn this honor is to: - do NOT godmode ( control another player's character, exagerate the abilities of your character, or preforming multiple actions in one post.) - Provide consistantly quality filled posts (take pride in every post so as to demonstrate a good work ethic) - be creative yet realistic (no one wants to hear how mad your character always is but also don't give major mood swings just because you suddenly decide that you want to like a character you're RPing with. Make sure moods change gradually and not suddenly ( if it has to be sudden, specify the trigger)) Finally, here are the app limitations for characters with SWTF status: 2 level apps 2 CSA apps 4 power apps (Strong with the force status wears off once the character reaches level 5) All applications for a month must be submitted before or on the final day of that month. REMEMBER: the board time will differ from that of your own (unless you're in Wales). If you are late on this, then your application will count for the next month, and you will be slightly behind. (CSA wise). "The first step to eternal life is...you must die." Shadow Assasin Sithlore: Star Wars Roleplaying Listen to our newest song "Silent Irony", for our new album To Awaken the Ghost

What this means: we could each post 10,000 words post- but if it doesn't describe us achieving whatever the ap was submitted for all we're doing is wasting the Force mods time. So if the word requirement is 400 words, for example, then 400 have to pertain to the subject of the application submitted. Example- Create Light: the post could be 1,000 words or the minimal 100, or it could even take multiple threads to reach the 100- but the point is 100 words have to be about the character using the force to create light Also, you cannot repeat yourself constantly to achieve the word count This will only anger the mods. I suggest using the SLIU to know the word requirements in advance of the application you want to achieve and concentrate your character on putting the needed amount of effort in. This is much easier and more likely to get accepted. Also, I should add each word can be used once and once only. The 100 words you use towards create light cannot be used towards anything else. Yes, I'm not a Shadow, but I do know what it's like to be overworked. So I've discussed it with Vech and will be helping out a bit around here.

Don't think that to get Lightsaber Combat, you need a lightsaber. You don't. You can use a training saber - and we're not going to go around checking to see if you actually have a training saber on your roster or not. What we will do is check your Force powers and level if you're RPing lightweapon construction at level 1 with only Sense 1 and Life Sense. It will then be denied. Don't rush in, and you'll have less trouble getting to the end result.

Possible Disturbances to sense are: -Deaths of force users (preferably powerful) -Destruction of Korriban -Recent rise in Sith activity and decline in Jedi activity may cause an increase in the darkside (a bit iffy, but I think the force mods would allow it) -The destruction of the Eye of Palpatine, which likely would have caused a ripple (again, a bit iffy- but I think the force mods would allow it) The maverick product of nightmares: not your typical sith.
