The Force & Force Powers

[The Force]

The Force & Character Creation

• The decision on whether a character is Force Sensitive or not must be made at character creation. If you put down that your character is not Force Sensitive, they will never be able to use the Force in-game, no matter who tries to teach them.
  
• Just because a character is Force Sensitive does not mean they can consciously use the Force. Many Force Sensitives live out their entire lives in total ignorance of their potential. Such characters may sometimes be 'luckier' than others or have the occasional flash of insight, but that's generally it. Unless your Force Sensitive character has received training from a Force user, your character will not be able to learn Force Powers in-game.
  
• You do not have to list every single Force Power your character knows, but you should list the ones they are best at for reference purposes.
  
• While there are other canon groups of Force users in Star Wars (Matukai, Jal Shey, Zeison Sha, etc.), this game focuses primarily upon two groups: the New Jedi Order and the Sith Imperium. At this time we do not allow members to create Force users that are members of the other groups, unless of course they are given permission by an Admin.
  
• Characters that were members of the "Old Jedi Order" before the Great Jedi Purge, though rare, are allowed on the board, BUT will require the permission of both Administrators.

Using Force Powers in the Game

• In general, Jedi will not know Dark Side powers, and Cultists will not know Light Side powers. There are very few exceptions to this rule, the main one being Force healing--Cultists can heal themselves and others, though they won't be nearly as good at it as the Jedi are by a long shot. Exceptions might be made to this policy on a case by case basis, and only by the approval of the staff.
  
• No one character will know every single Force Power in existence. Many powers are difficult for even Jedi Masters/Sith Lords to achieve, and still others are lost or forbidden. You will need to request permission from the administrative staff for your character to know and use any such 'rare' or 'high-level' Force Powers. Some extremely unbalancing Force Powers (such as Thought Bomb) will never be allowed in the game due to their overpowering nature.
  
• Player created and so-called 'fanon' Force Powers (such as teleportation, elemental manipulation, etc.) are allowed in this game, after Staff approval (needs staff approval in the User Created Content section).

Restriced Powers & Powers that Need Permission

• Deadly Sight - Using the force its user could inflect great amounts of pain upon any in their field of view. This power caused skin to smoke and burn and brought great pain. It hurts all in their field of vision, ally and enemy alike. {Restricted}

• Force Resuscitation - This power can save those who have who are on the brink of death. This power is extremely rare and there has only been one case of it throughout the archives. {Restricted}

• Sith Magic - Traditionally, Sith magic, also known as Sith sorcery, was an arcane expression of Force ability first developed and practiced by the original Sith species through which they manipulated the power of the dark side. Sith magic, while as much a part of the dark side as endowments like Force lightning, was accessible only to those Force-sensitives who possessed an intrinsic relationship with the dark side.{Highly-Restricted}

• Sith Alchemy - Sith alchemy was primarily used to enhance the strength of weapons and armor (such as the famous Sith swords), or to genetically engineer and enhance alien species, making them more dangerous and easier to control by the Sith Lords. More sinisterly, Sith alchemy was capable of waking the dead in servitude to the Sith. Korriban zombies, and possibly Sith undead, were creations of this branch of the art. {Admin Permission Needed}

• Force Destruction - Only available to a few gifted people. Using this ability caused great strain on the body and mind as great amounts of concentration and energy went into the power. By storing great amounts of dark side energy its user could expel this energy at a great force and cause a large explosion that evaporated all within its small vicinity and cause great pain to those within a larger blast area. {Restricted}

• Force Light - A great light side power, this ability can weaken and even disconnect the dark side of the force to a place or person. {Admin Permission Needed}

• Force Storm (Wormhole) - The Force storm was actually not a storm; in fact, it was the ability to create hyperspace wormholes via the dark side of the Force. A Force storm could range from the size of a small starship, like a freighter, to huge maws capable of obliterating whole starfleets. {Restricted}

• Midi-chlorian manipulation - form of Sith Alchemy allegedly mastered by Darth Plagueis. Requiring immense knowledge of the dark side of the Force, it was the ability to create, maintain, or save life through the influencing of midi-chlorians to a certain degree. {Restricted}

• Transfer Essence - Transfer essence, also known as essence transfer or transfer life, was a radical dark side Force power used to transfer a person's consciousness into another body, or in some cases an inanimate object. Ancient Sith Lords and other powerful darksiders used this technique to cheat death again and again, haunting their tombs and possessing those who stumbled across their sarcophagi in order to continue their reign of terror. {Admin Permission Needed}

• Thought Bomb - The thought bomb was one of the most powerful and destructive applications of the dark side of the Force which targeted all Force-sensitive individuals and vaporized clothing, flesh, bone, and even stone within the radius of the weapon's blast. The thought bomb sucked the souls of its victims into a sphere of dark side energy where they were trapped in an orb of dark torment until the end of time. Unfortunately for the user(s) the thought bomb was a suicide weapon. {Restricted}

• Spear of midnight black - an ancient dark side Force power. It enabled the Force-user to summon the Force and forge with it an invisible spear from dark side energies which could be hurled at opponents, killing or injuring them as if it was a real physical spear. {Restricted}

• Morichro - Similar to a Force trance, morichro suspended biological functions, including breathing and heart rate. A trained morichro user could turn the technique upon himself, surviving without food, water, or even air for periods of over a year at a time, though it would not protect against vacuum. But unlike a Force trance, it could also be turned on others, making it an effective way of subduing enemies. However, failure to monitor a targeted opponent could render them permanently unconscious or cause them to die of dehydration or starvation. {Restricted}

• Malacia - Malacia was a Force technique that was used to induce a powerful dizziness and nausea in enemies by turning their equilibrium against them. It was completely incapacitating, but caused no damage to the body, and so was not considered a dark side power. Even so, the effects of the power were sometimes so severe that it could cause a target to vomit. The principal quality of the technique was that a Force-user utilizes it by transforming a target's energy rather than using their own. An attack with Malacia by a Jedi Master was rarely blocked. {Restricted}

• Battle Meditation - Battle meditation was a Force ability which considerably boosted the morale, stamina, and overall battle prowess of an individual's allies while simultaneously reducing the opposition's combat-effectiveness by eroding their will to fight. With the Force, one could coordinate entire fleets of ships, allowing them to perform at maximum efficiency, acting as a single entity with the ability to counter every enemy move quickly and effectively. Though ideal for meditating large-scale conflicts, battle meditation was equally effective when employed for the benefit of one's comrades in small skirmishes, attacks, and duels. {Restricted}

Rules for Force Power & Lightsaber Forms to Each Rank of Force User

The following ranks are equal to any faction. These are for the standard characters and not to ones that belong to species that allow them to be centuries old.
We will be referring to the Force Classes Guardian, Sentinel and Consular. The equivalent in Sith Order is Guardian= Warrior; Sentinel= Assassin and Consular=Seer/Sorcerer/Mage.


Guardian: "We Guardians are the Republic's first line of defense against the thousand enemies who seek to destroy it."―Guardian Crix Sunburris describes the role of the Guardians in a chapter of The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force.

A Jedi Guardian was the name given to one of the three distinct branches of Jedi whose skills and talents lay in battle, a light side mirror of the Sith Warrior. Concentrating on martial training and combat, Guardians engaged in combat more than either of the other two classes. Anakin Skywalker was both a Jedi Guardian and a Sith Warrior as Darth Vader.


Sentinel: "This Jedi ferrets out deceit and injustice, bringing it to light."
―Dorak

A Jedi Sentinel was the name given to one of the three distinct branches of Jedi that sought a balance between the other two branches, the Consulars and the Guardians. While they possessed adequate combat skills and had somewhat extensive knowledge of the Force, Sentinels blended both schools of teaching and amplified them with a series of non-Force skills, such as in the fields of security, computers, stealth techniques, demolitions, repair or medicine. Bastila Shan was a Jedi Sentinel, while Atton Rand was a Sith Assassin while on the Darkside.


Consular: "A Consular is a specialized kind of Jedi. They focus more on cerebral Force skills. They're our healers, our researchers, our seers."
―Zayne Carrick

A Jedi Consular was the title of one of three distinct branches which a member of the Jedi Order could decide to study under following their ascension to the rank of Jedi Knight. Led by the Council of Reconciliation, the Consulars sought diplomatic measures in spreading peace and harmony across the Galactic Republic. Refraining from drawing their lightsabers (many consulars wielded green lightsabers) except as a measure of last resort, Consulars spent a great deal of time studying the mysteries of the Force. Master Yoda was a Consular and Darth Zannah was a Sith Sorceress.
