MAIN IDEA: Alright, so, like the title says, I'm looking for a person or persons to assist me in coming up with an acceptable plot outline. I'd also like to form some relationships with my character, Vas'ka Janik. I'm trying my best to come up with a biography and personality section for him, but the history section is a bit difficult without having the custom race approved/filled out first. Which is another thing I'd like to work on.
Bear with me, this is going to be a lengthy post.
CHARACTER: Using Tom Hiddleston as a face-claim, I'm hoping to have him approved with a custom race. That'll be another section entirely, however, so bear with me here. I'd like for him to be a Jedi, possibly of the Silver Jedi faction, but that isn't necessary for what I have in mind though I would like for him to be acquaintances/comrades with [member="Connor Harrison"]. That is, however, entirely up to them and whatever would work for them as well. Since he is going to be able to wield a lightsaber, and be adequate enough in the Force to operate on his own, he will not be a Padawan and, as such, won't need an instructor lest he be struggling with a certain aspect of the Force. Through a series of events (up to/including kidnapping/torture/killing of his sister, whom he feels personally responsible for in a way that, should she be messed with, would damage his psyche to varying degrees depending on the severity of her treatment). I plan for him to become a Gray Jedi, most likely in the search for his sister (her kidnapping would cause him to break with the Jedi Code, at least on the inside). The longer the search/more elaborate the game, the more he'll begin to despise the Code and its "inability to get anything done," doing away with "the needs of the many" being more important than a single person.
To make things more interesting, his sister could be a Force-User with a penchant for healing; anything more than that is beyond her capacity due to a mental disability. While an adept healer, anything else is beyond her ability to learn.
EQUIPMENT: Mostly concerning the personal weapon department... A question: would it be possible for Vas'ka to have a lightwhip? I have no issues with him acquiring this through roleplay or otherwise, just wondering if it would be alright for him to have a lightwhip and a lightsaber. Also a bit curious about how to determine which abilities he would or would not have, and what would be considered unrealistic for a person of his age. He'll be in his mid-thirties at the most.
SPECIES: So, this is where things get interesting. I have a few ideas, but those ideas seem like they would be improbable... I'd like for his race to have traces of a draconic ancestor, nothing that would give him extra abilities save perhaps for a higher tolerance for hot temperatures and a sensitivity to colder temperatures, mostly for physical characteristics that would make him stand out. In certain lighting, he would appear to have scales on his temples extending from the outside corners of his eyes and disappearing into his scalp, along with the back of his neck. His eyes would also have vertical slits in them, and (possibly) the ability to change color depending on his mood. He would also have a sensitivity to light, as they would be a species that would have recently emerged from underground after having lived in caves near active volcanoes for hundreds of generations.
The issues I'm having with this, mostly, is placing this species on a planet to call their homeworld. There would need to be volcanoes and a lot of untouched wilderness. There is the option to have a sort of myth surrounding his people, like they snatch children or are a precursor to bad things happening to you/your loved ones. It would add an interesting racial tension for those who knew of his species. The other more obvious issue is having him share an ancestor (albeit way, way in the past) with a dragon. I know that most dragon or dragon-like species are forbidden on this site for playing, so I don't really know if that's a stipulation extending to species sharing a very distant relative and taking a more humanoid evolution.
RELATIONSHIPS: I'd need someone to be his comrade in the Jedi, a childhood friend/acquaintance from the Academy that he became friends with. I've already mentioned above that I'd like for him to know Connor Harrison in one manner or another, even if it is as a disapproving senior officer. Pretty much, someone who is going to react negatively when Vas'ka begins to stray from the Jedi Code and try to bring him back. They'll get some small victories, though ultimately they're going to fail. Hopefully they won't give up on him until he becomes fully immersed in the ways of the Sith (after his sister is killed, probably in the brutal fashion so he would even give up on the way on the Gray Jedi and give in to the Dark Side). I would also need someone who likes kidnapping and playing games, preferably long and complicated ones that would likely take a long time to play out... and wouldn't mind having a person continually coming for them and trying to take revenge for his sister's death. I don't want him killed, though... I am not opposed to him getting maimed and then getting cybernetic limbs. XD Or even an eye.
PLEASE post in this thread as a reply, as I'd like to have as many ideas bouncing off of one another in this thread as possible. If you're not comfortable sharing your ideas in a public forum, feel free to contact me through the messaging system! I'm open for anything, really, aside from killing him off hah! I'd like to play with him for a while before that happens. XDD
