Welcome to the forum, we always enjoy new members and hopefully I'll be able to RP with you or talk with you through the chat threads.
If you do not know what RP is, it's essentially 'Roleplay'. You will be RPing in the galaxy of Star Wars. A galaxy at war if that's anything new where you choose your own path and try to win the war for your side. For those who think if you stay at a low rank don't worry there is always a war raging on so you won't miss the best stuff.
The role of NPC are also present but they are limited here as to not make yourselves to godly where other members don't want to stay on so you must have permission to use a powerful NPC or you will be penalized. The RPC is your character that you make and there are even fewer restrictions on this as well just keep it reasonable in the Star Wars Era and respect the mod's word.
Beware though as the list of dangers in this world is ever growing, so you will never know what you will see. There are many creatures that inhabit the many worlds and don't worry there will be more the job of making the galaxy isn't anywhere near finished, but the main worlds are done but if you think of one that isn't down and you want it in just leave the suggestion.
What is your goal in the galaxy well your main goal is to survive and become stronger other than that it is pretty much the same as in the movies. A war rages on as it always has and you choose from two basic sides or one in the middle known as the Neutral Systems, so there are three factions that have their own goals.
In this forum the time frame is during all the movies but without the main plots so that we can use the galaxy to our full potential and have the most fun. The main era is set at least after the era of The Old Republic but before the movies, but like I said it is anytime after the old games just no movie plots have happened.
How the post order goes: You NPCer You NPCer You NPCer and so on...
if more than one person then just take turns and don't post until everyone else has posted

On this forum I will allow you to make 3 characters total but they have to follow the below guidelines and all the creation rules. Even civilians are allowed to be made but I will only allow 2 of those to be made and depending on how well this goes I might allow people to make their own animals or pets, we will see how the future plays out. Civilians are people with no weapons or side arms and they don't have talents or ranks except for the civilian ranks but I will cover that later, as well as not needing Strengths and Weaknesses.
As for Strengths and Weaknesses they need to be properly balanced in a way that it is fair for everyone else so just estimate and the staff will help you cover the wholes. Here are some examples of the balancing stats:
Keep in mind the balancing stats Excellent=5, Great=4, Very Good=3, Good=2, Above Average=1, Absolutely Horrible=5, Horrible=4, Very Bad=3, Bad=2, Below Average=1, but if another character is a rank above you their stats will be the number of ranks above you equal to the difference: you are Rank 2 and your opponent is Rank 4=all of his stats are 2 more than yours, his weaknesses that you both share are 2 ranks less than you. In other words be careful when you attack someone stronger than you but nothing is impossible you just need luck, or if you are a force user you just need a lot of the forces connection, have fun with that.
Talents are special and much different from items but they both take slots depending on their uses and power. Talents are mainly force abilities but there are also special traits that you character can have and for your character you can have one special trait when you start out and each time you rank up you can replace it with a stronger one or let it take a slot but you must ask for such things in your applications. Special items are not available to force sensative people like sith and jedi since they only use gadgets and their lightsabers, and as for the side arms some are basic and given to you when you rank up and those won't cost you a slot at all. Think of them like gifts if something says basic in the name it goes in for free if you have the proper rank.

As for now creating special items and talents are restricted to people who have an open slot for it so if you want to make something for your character you must make it of your own open rank and then have someone help you acquire or learn it.
NOTICE: Just because you made something doesn't mean you have it immediately you just don't need an open slot to make it but you do need one in order to learn it or acquire it. Created talents must be trained for and creating the training you will need someone of the 3rd Rank to help you and there are no set amounts of posts for your training just make it sensable, and then make an application with the training attached or notify a staff and they will review it and they might approve it. Special items are much different than talents since they need to be bought or in some cases they can be made but you must RP the forging of it or RP buying it at a market and they are on all civilized worlds.

Item Applications are used to get permission from certain special items or to get you permission to train for one you created. When you train or acquire one or want access to a limited item use this template below: [Type of Item] Name of item [Profile Name]
The talent application is the same except for instead of item you put talent and change it accordingly and everything else is the same.
For the rank up applications each has their own requirements that you must accomplish inorder to make the application and once its completed you can create your RPC next rank. For a rank application use the template below: Title: [Rank Application] Name of your character Example: [Rank 2 Application] Fett, Casus
Name:
Rank:
Requirements:

Missions are much like everything else here where you need to make an application inorder to get one or make one of your own. For those who just want a specific mission or job that you want to create yourself use the below templates for the application and its creation: Title: [Mission Rank] Name of the Mission [Location]
Title:
Name:
Location:
Rank:
Details:
For those who want a mission created for them use this as the guideline. Note that these are easier to get approved, a staff member will read your app. and pitch ideas to you. Title: [Mission Rank Request] Name of RPC
Mission Rank:
Name:
Kind of Mission

The galaxy is full of exciting events from battles to wars and most especially small events like hired jobs and missions. For a mission you could work for your factions military, a personal goal, or just for the fun of it and these have their limits unlike its larger counterparts. In a mission you pick or are given a planet to work on for whatever reason that is required of your RPC and work to complete the mission on your own time so these have no time limit on how fast they need to be done. The whole mission is done on the planet and it can't have any outside influence so you just have to focus on the mission and the area of the planet itself, and there are no interferences from any other RPC unless they are acting on the role of a high ranking war leader like Rank 4 or higher RPC who is involved with the battle as a military agent which are asked for from that person or staff member, whoever controls the leader.
However jobs are much more difficult, for these are made by your employer and can have time limits. Your employer makes just about all the requirements from location to time limit and even to the rules you must follow, but like missions they have no offworld influence so you are safe from any other kind of interference besides what is before you and they can be interferred by anyone with the power to step in like Smugglers, Imperial Agents, and Bounty Hunters otherwise no one can intervene.
Battles and wars are the most private and the most important mission/jobs in the whole galaxy and even though they are galaxy known if you want to enter a specific battle or major event you will need the information and permission from the faction leader. These have influence on just about everything in the galaxy except for the small things like jobs and missions but they can affect the very environments that they occur in like if one battle scorches a forest planet, that place remains scorched until a long period of time takes place or someone leads a restoration effort.
Space combat is not that common unless its a job or battle during a war. Your employer can hire you to hijack a ship or blow one into space dust or if you lead an armada or strike force in space there will be ship to ship combat with cruisers but there are no destroying them from the outside you will have to be in the cruiser and take out all the primary systems: Bridge (Above the ship), Engines (In the back of the ship), Hyperdrive (In the center of the ship near the engines), Life Support System (Near the front of the ship on the bottom floor), and Communications Array (Above the life support near the bridge). Every cruiser has a high ranking officer that commands it from military officer to even a sith or jedi and sometimes if they are hired for such bounty hunters and undercover imperial agents but those won't be easy to find out about, but taking out the ship's leader will cause a lot of confusion among the other people aboard the ship. Unlike most of the other jobs and missions a person's ship can be boarded without permission but you will need to have enough skills to get aboard or you can be killed unless you have permission to board. As for smaller ships it is almost the same thing but there is no long travels across the small ship and most of their major systems are in the cockpit, and you cannot attack these kind of ships without a good reason like if you know its an enemy ship by markings and designs or if you have confirmation that they intend you harm by telling you otherwise you must meet them face to face.
When you finish making the application and its approved you and the NPCer chooses who starts the mission, job, or battle thread and the one who starts it is allowed to pick the title and then the thread can begin.

Here on the forum I have special rewards for many different situations that can be easily won, automatically achieved, or really special circumstances. For the first part everyone can get the first reward: When your RPC has reached the highest rank each month you get one free slot for anything of your character, if you're a gunsman you can get a free slot for any technology or for a creation or if you're a force user the same thing you can get a free slot for a force power or creation slot but at the end when you choose something to stay in that slot you must train and apply for it once you finish training for it. For people who do a wonderful job on the forum that is responded by a staff member you can ask for one favor of your choice from them as long as they approve of it, but for the most part you must do go posting not get in trouble with anyone here and most of all have fun. And then there are very unique rewards that are not easy to get and require the most situational of positions that the highest staff members decide as a group.
