It would be cool if the Shapers could get their own tags... 
Once we're set up I'll see what we can do with Tef. But for now we should stick to the Nightsister/brother system I think. And describe our roles in our Title
Yup...
Is that it? lol I guess I did a pretty good job then huh?
Lord of Girth
yeah. my question is do we have like normal force powers (push,pull, persuation,etc...) or is it only for the elements that we can control? It never really specfied in Wook
They distrust those powers, so I'm assuming they can, but culturaly they don't like to
Lord of Girth
Okay so if I have to i can use force push. and do you know what exactly are the powers that they have? could they throw like Fire grenades or flamethrower like powers? (I only said fire because my character is a Fire Tribe)
"Their abilities included buckling stone, creating walls of wind, and generating spouts of flame. They could ignite targets using fire, or make their motion more fluid in battle."
I'm not going by that because it is so limiting, thus I would just go by how they do it in Avatar: The Last Airbender. I think it would just be easier and generally it wouldn't be all that different.

If you really wanted I could make a list but I feel that that too would be limiting to the imagination. What is your opinion?
Lord of Girth
yeah i was thinking the same thing but it doesnt specify what abulties they have/had. so it would seem natural for a Fire user to have a "flamethrower" like effect and lets say a Water user to shoot water blasts. as such there are force blasts where the force user chanels energy of that power in to an object. (Daxton used this against Darren in their duel, he punched him with the force) and to further it a Rock/ground user would make a bigger fist out of the rock elements around him/her. to increase their attack strength.

Can you pitch this idea to me? What's the plan? What's the background? Are you looking to recreate "The Last Airbender," or create a Faction that's going to fight for planets? I do see they're all followers of the Dark Side historically. It might be interesting to say that at this point in history they've decided they transcend the whole light side/dark side debate and regard themselves as people who harness pure elemental energy or something like that.
Lord of Girth
He already tried to make the avatar on here and was denied and was refered to this http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shapers_of_Kro_Var and this is what faction hes making. if you want to join that would be awesome.
Well I've kind of abandoned directly connect Avatar: The Last Airbender to star wars, I was just refering to their abilities because it was easiest to connect in this case as their abilities are not really explained in the wiki.

Right, I was just trying to get some insight on the big picture. Do you see the Shapers as siding with any particular organization or teaming up with any other faction, or is everyone the enemy?
Do you see the Shapers as siding with any particular organization or teaming up with any other faction, or is everyone the enemy?But if you are interested here is my pitch:
The Shapers of Kro Var are now more or less united under an Empire and divided into four according to the elements. At 20 years old a shaper's fate as to which clan he of she will be put into will be decided on their greatest potential in manipulating an element, based on what a Shaper Cabal observes. These elements are Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. The culture distrusts "invisisble" manifestations of the force, such as telekinesis or Telepathic abilities. As far as the connect to the rest of the Galaxy I was going to let everyone decided, however, I do see a good chance of having an alliance with the Republic.

So would the powers be left to our imagination? and I wouldnt know about that because of them orinagting from the Dark side they may be with the sith. but if they are a "good spiecies" then we may side with the republic (Based off of what i know) BUT its not my decision its Haru's decision.
Well they have allied with the Jedi in the past during the Clone Wars

So that's different from what Wookieepedia says:Shaper Haru said:
Yes? Wookieepedia indicates they were selected like Jedi younglings and guided from youth, not that they get to choose at age 20. I'm looking to see how much of the Wookieepedia entry I should be using as canon background.
I think they should only ally with the Republic, because the Republic is the most peaceful faction. I mean, you know Mandalorians and Yuuzhan Vong and Imperial Remnant and OmegaPyre and The Syndicate... They are all too aggressive. And the Sith Empire is just mean. And the Jedi - Kro Var thing is a great argument.
