A Radical Group of Jedi?

Vaemond

Guest
Hey all,

I'm lookin for anyone interested in perhaps forming a group of like-minded, radical Jedi. By radical I mean with more intense, militant interpretations of the light side of the force and the Jedi code. I'm not looking specifically for Jedi exclusively, it's open to anyone who wants to take things in a more radical direction.

What do I mean by radical? I mean essentially galactic liberation, uplifting species out of oppression, fighting against classism and specieism. The whole idea would essentially be there is no peace until everyone is free, but we can commit ourselves to achieving that goal and to the tenets of the light side of the force. We'd be very militant towards the dark side and its influences, sort of a more radical sect of Jedi Shadows without the espionage. This would be based less around the allure of the dark side and more around the philosophical reasoning behind it, such as the oppression and slavery to the quest for power. What I mean by "militant" I think I'd rather save for the private discussions, though I'm sure you can put the pieces together.

This, of course, would require some reinterpretation of the Jedi code and some unorthodox methods, but I want to take things in a fresh direction to give some moral ambiguity and some more intense action. Not necessarily looking to start a new faction, just assemble some people in the Silver Jedi/Republic sphere who share these interests to have a sort of new, unorthodox sect, or perhaps an underground group. And yes, I realize the hypocrisy of being a Jedi that is militant and the danger it poses, but I'm really interested in seeing how such a sect could go and develop and what kinds of actions can be taken.

Any interest? Would love to have some peeps on board to do some RPs so I can get this character back up and running! Rank, experience, doesn't matter! All are welcome! Again: Do not need to be a Jedi nor a force user, just sympathetic to the ideas and willing to do what's necessary.
 
This makes me think of the Jedi Covenant from the Knights of the Old Republic comics. Ruthless in their dedication to fighting darkness, to the point that they butchered an entire class of Jedi Padawans because they foresaw that one of them would become a Sith Lord. They had hidden storehouses of confiscated Sith relics, and were generally a shadow order of secret Watch Circles vigilant for anything that could lead to the dark side growing stronger.

I’d consider cooking up a character for a faction like this.
 
WolfMortum WolfMortum - Very correct, though Cedric and his core group of loyalists are a little more ‘far gone’ than those still in the GA. Still pals though.

We’ve been considering making a light sided crusade faction of sorts. I’ve written a lot of lore for a new light side religion called the Followers of The Ashla, which are people that essentially believe the Force is only the Light Side, and the dark side is the result of sentient beings abusing the Force and harming it. We were thinking of using that as a basis.

Anyone that would be interested in such is more than welcome to PM me. I’d love to have more devout and, for lack of a better term, ‘godly’ Jedi to RP with.

Oh hey there, that's pretty much my entire character. Let's chat, my disc is Bandersnatch 2.0#4786
Absolutely. Sending a request your way.

Yeah, that's partly an inspiration for this, except I think the whole... padawan slaughter was a little iffy. This is more liberationist, militant, and extremely devoted to the light side and equality/justice. The part about Sith relics and shadow order is ABSOLUTELY what I'm envisioning for part of it. If you're interested, shoot me a DM.


P Placeholder 0128 's Grayson Imperium was very much this, if I'm not mistaken. I believe many of their writers are in the GA now and would possibly see eye to eye with a lot of what you're going for, Vaemond.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
Interesting! I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks for letting me know. I'll take a gander over at GA!
 
Army of light... has flash backs Give me a call if y'all ever want some back up. I ain't a jedi anymore, but I do miss the good ol' days of fighting oppression and evil. The Vitae Security Forces are always happy to lend a hand to such endeavors.
