There are somethings with the site that may seem very different to what you are used to, so let's talk about those things and why we have them the way they are.
Roleplay Area
So you probably only noticed we only have two areas for roleplaying. This is because having multiple areas can sometimes become too much for new comers, and those who are veterans can testify that sometimes, majority of the time, many areas for roleplay are left empty. This is because there are very common and popular places that overshadow the rest of locations in a universe. Star Wars has Coruscant, Korriban, and Tatooine. New comers can sometimes be confused as to where a place belongs, and to reduce the hassle of figuring out where a location belongs, there is only one thing that matters: can anyone join, or only certain people?
Continuing, having multiple places to roleplay can be a big mess for staff, and for writers alike. With only two places, writers only need to ever worry: is the thread open or private?
Character Creation
While it is usually easier to keep out trolls and those who could do harm with characters and to the site, those who mean well with their intentions are left waiting on being accepted. Writers might also wish to change something during their time on the site. Maybe something in the character biography gets retconned. Most of the time, staff locks a character sheet after accepting it, here you can freely change your character around and do as you please till you find the perfect character for you.
Of course, realize staff is watching you. The members are watching you. Do not abuse this.
Map and Plot
Of course, this site's staff is always open to suggestions. If you think you have an idea, please feel free to express it in the appropriate thread.
Canon Names
The Alignments of these names are not set and stone, they are examples
Leaders of the Alliance/Fel Empire in Exile - These people are a free for all, but they need to be lawful good in as the best I can describe it. There are three of these characters ready to be taken. Remember that the Exiles consists of the Galactic Alliance and Fel Empire/Imperial Remnant. The character for the Fel Empire can take the last name Fel, and the Galactic Alliance leader may take Organa as their last name.
The Unknowing Jedi - This is also a free for all, but also a lawful good character. Take this character knowing they're expected to become the first Jedi Master and leader of the Jedi Order built how you see fit.
Skywalker as a last name is allowed, but there is no power boost because of it. The Skywalker linage is considered just another myth. The Shan name is usable, but remember, the source of that power is diluted, and the legend of Revan is all but almost lost. Remember when using various surnames that it's not a power boost, and not to abuse the name.
The Sith Lords - Once more a free for all, only that they must be a lawful evil and ready to rebuild the Sith how they see fit as they begin their journey in the darkness. The first of possibly many Sith to come.
Qel-Dromas is able to be used, but remember, that legend is all but lost to history. These names are considered the same as the use of Jedi names. Use them wisely and respectfully.
The Heretics of the Force - Another free for all, and three open spots. These characters are however you want them to be, good, evil, neutral. Maybe they are the Clan Mother of the Nightsisters, or a Grey Jedi, or even a Dark Jedi. Regardless these are the characters who are to bring back the most taboo of the Force sensitive factions.
Mandalore - The Mandalorian Clan are without a leader, a free for all, and important role for sure. All Mandalorian Clan names are free to use.
