STAR WARS Episode i: The Subtle Nightmare [Started] [Always Accepting]

Can't accept just yet. Problems:

1) Soresu and Jar'kai have completely different philosophies. Jar'kai is for specialists only; in other words, yes, you will always be using two lightsabres if you're a Jar'kai specialist. Since you are a Councilor, I could let you slide if you specialised in Ataru or Shien on top of Jar'kai, but you can't specialise in defence and then suddenly switch to a highly offencive style with weak defence.
tl;dr: Revise forms pl0x.

2) I'm sure I explained that no one except Tesar can have dual-phase sabres. Yes, I did:I even put it in Game Info: "No other variant forms you might have heard of (double-bladed sabres, etc) are permissible [except shoto and curved hilts]." So yeah. I'll put that sort of thing in Rules, I guess, but...

And just so you know, I'll clarify the process for selection to the Jedi Council, but I should point out that it isn't based on age so much as Padawan training. "A very young age" would necessarily mean thirty-nine, since that's the youngest possible age to have trained two Padawans for eight years after taking a year off as a solo Knight. That's still very young for a Councilor; it implies that there were no hiccups in training whatsoever for the first two Padawans, and there was a vacancy on the Council at that moment (Master Zavek Naban was also that lucky).

1) I'll change it. Sorry 'bout that.
2) Must have missed that. I'll edit now.
3) I'll edit that line..... but the first two went fine, the last disappeared.....

Done that now...... sorry, had a lot of things going on :/

Three things:
2) EDIT: Passion Pit, we may have to change Tesar's age. Shrike has been a Padawan for five years, and Tesar can only have kept a Padawan for three. TIME PARADOX
[/quote]No problem, just name the minimum and I'll change it to something higher.

Alright.. Here's the thing.. My Internet is down so I'm resorting to dial-up to be on here.. Thing is, it takes to long to get on this site with my laptop, so I have to use my iPod. So.. I won't be able to do anything for my app untill Tuesday, when I'm at college.. Also, I've been too busy with school work to get on here much. I'm on a homework break atm that's ending soon. Thought I'd pop in here and give ya a quick update.

I won't act yet; I'd still like one or two more applicants before we start. One starts training a Padawan at age twenty-two, though, and a Padawan starts training at age thirteen under almost all circumstances.
[/quote]Alright, I'll change it to 31.

Disclaimer: All I know of Star Wars is the information from the six movies. Which I saw out of order, several years apart from eachother. Popcultural Osmosis and the Wookieepedia help, though.

[spoiler=Application]
[b]General Information[/b]
[i]Name: [/i]Belis Guntrin
[i]Species: [/i]Human
[i]Gender:[/i] Male
[i]Age:[/i] 18
[b]Jedi Information[/b]
[i]Rank:[/i] Padawan
[i]Master:[/i]
[i]Preferred Sabre From:[/i] Soresu
[b]Personal Information[/b]
[i]Appearance: [/i]Belis is a healthy-seeming young man standing at a respectable 179 centimeters. His face is largely unremarkable, though rather symmetrical, and pale despite any amount of exposure to ultraviolet radiation; his hair usually takes precedence in identification, due to it being a particularly pale and striking blond, kept short and tidy despite a couple of outstanding bangs being allowed to grow out longer. His eyes are colored something between a hazel and gray, largely being small and unobtrusive- often times, it more simply appears that he has black eyes.
More interesting than Belis' physical characteristics, however, are the characteristics of his famously perplexing spectacles. The glasses are a sturdy sort, capable of resisting storm, silt and snow alike- built into a black frame of some unidentified metal, the lenses are roughly rectangular, though they skew slightly to the side and are therefore more properly parallelograms. The ends of both of the arms are bent at a gentle 35 degree sloped angle, keeping them tied to his ears- at the end of each arm is a slightly different metal (or perhaps wood) finish, colored a slight telling off-black. The arms themselves begin as a single line of material, before splitting into three radiant lines that become parallel lines before finally recombining in order to form the sloped edges. On the left side, one of the radial lines is colored a dark red rather than a black, ostensibly for aesthetic reasons.
The lenses themselves are clear, though they seem to have a slight yellow tinge to them from the outside- the quality of the inner lens is henceforth unknown to anyone aside from Belis himself. The bridge is a straight triangle, rather unusual and presumably slightly uncomfortable.
[i]Sabre Appearance:[/i] The typical Padawan red sabre, kept pristine and in near-perfect condition. The only hint his particular unit is in active use is the immaculate shine and buff, rendering the metal hilt in a more immaculate and untouched condition than when it was first produced.
[i]Personality:[/i] Belis is, in all things, a man of few words and effective actions. Impressively stoic, many take Belis' apparent disinterest in socializing as a sort of snub- in truth, the boy is simply most comfortable blending into the background and not becoming the center of attention. Words should be spared for when they are most needed, and meted out only as necessary- conversations with him tend to be rather short, though informative.
Belis allows himself little room for failure. Though he places no pressure on himself for immediate perfection or validation from others in his abilities, he practices every skill he learns to utter perfection before expanding his education- he allows no chance for failure based simply off of his own lack of attention to detail. This way of thinking bleeds even into aspects unrelated to combat or study- Belis is well-known for keeping all of his possessions in immaculate condition, and will not stand disorganization. While he rarely says anything about the fact to others, it's common knowledge that he is a habitual organizer and will spend his free time rearranging things into a more proper position, if not given some other task to occupy himself with.
Belis is exceptionally good at mediating his own emotions- to the point where some tend to doubt he even has them. Belis is not good with expression, and keeps a neutral face even in the most ridiculous of circumstances. It's nigh-impossible to tell if something he says is in jest -until he specifically tells someone it is a joke- and even harder to detect sarcasm, if he ever uses it. In combination with his perfectionist ways, this tends to make Belis appear as a rather responsible individual, far more temperate than one would expect of his age. Because of this, others tend to expect he will achieve Knighthood relatively early compared to the other Padawans.
[i]Other:[/i] It is unknown whether Belis' glasses actually help his vision at all, how good his vision is without them, or if they're actually prescription lenses at all. He refuses to acknowledge questions regarding why he doesn't use a more simple method of improving his vision, and will not clarify if they are simply an aesthetic device. Come to think of it, nobody's entirely certain where he got them in the first place.

[/spoiler] [/quote]Accepted, though I should point out that most Padawans hit Knighthood as early as possible (i.e. age 21). However, since you don't have a Master, we'll have to start without you. :(

Will post the first post ASAP. Tesar gets Shrike. [s]be honoured[/s]

[size=3][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][b]Personal Information[/b]
[i]Appearance: [/i]Tyrran is a healthy-seeming young man standing at a titan level, towering at least 203.20 centimeters. His face is largely remarkable, though rather symmetrical, and smooth despite any amount of exposure to ultramarine eye shadow and his labret piercing; his hair usually takes precedence in identification, due to it being a particularly swept back as one little strand hangs over his face. His eyes are colored something between a navy and dark grey, largely being small and menacing- often times, it more simply appears that he has black eyes. The ends of both of the arms are bent at a gentle 50 degree acute angle, keeping them tied to his ears- at the end of each arm is a slightly different metal finish, colored a slight telling off-dark grey. The arms themselves begin as a single line of material, before splitting into three radiant lines that become parallel lines before finally recombining in order to form the sloped edges. On the left side, one of the radial lines is colored a dark blue rather than a black, ostensibly for aesthetic reasons.
[i]Sabre Appearance:[/i][color=#5a5a5a] The typical Master blue sabre, kept skeletal and in worn-out condition. His weapon featured an exposed crystal chamber, rather than include a hand grip, the whole of the weapon was sheathed in somewhat tarnished looking bare-metal. Tyrran wielded the weapon in an unorthodox reversed grip, utilizing it against the likes of many others he faced and defeated in battle.[/color]
[i]Personality:[/i] Tyrran is, in all things, a man of less words and more-effective actions. Impressively stoic, calm, and level-headed, The death of his daughter led him to become a very serious person and would not speak during certain meetings. Words should not be spared for when they are most needed, and meted out only as necessary- conversations with him tend to be rather short, though informative.
[color=#5a5a5a]Arguably, the most fearsome trait of Tyrran is his tremendous intellect. He is well-versed in the history, strategy, tactics of every forms of sabre and nation in every planet- including his very own. He has also shown himself to be a very crafty and cunning man since the time he was growing up and past all tests and ranks to become master. The most noticeable trait is his ability to deceive and manipulate others around them in different manners. Tyrran has a great talent for analyzing and observing everything in his presence, allowing him to quickly understand a person's pattern of thinking - better to manipulate them. He is also a powerful strategist, capable of forming well-thought-out plans several steps ahead of others. [/color]

At first I thought it might be intentional, but then I noticed some parts make mad-libs levels of sense in context, so... yeah. Ironically, this is the second time something of mine on this forum has been madlibbified in the past day.

EDIT: Nevermind, the third time. The second time by someone [i]other [/i]than Axon.
