[QUOTE="nonamazing, post: 3218681, member: 12118"] Everything is coming together well, and these characters are looking good. I have several more comments, and I have noted some of the questions you've had for me. I'm going to take a bit to digest everything and I'll post my answers soon. But for now I wanted to discuss the students. To make the Academy more vibrant and interesting, I wanted it to be full of a number of different students. To give you more control over the game setting, and to bring fresh and interesting new ideas into the mix, I wanted to have my players come up with the concepts for the students. So I'd like each of you to come up with a few student NPCs for me to use. [B]pallandrome[/B] and [B]Fenris2[/B] have both done good jobs with this. All I'm looking for are a couple of sentences, just enough of a description to give me a little hook to work with. Four students should be fine, but you can do up to six if you're feeling inspired. And although class and statistic information aren't important, race and name are. (If you need help with names, check out this excellent name generator: [url]http://www.dimfuture.net/starwars/random/generate.php[/url] ) A word about students and the Academy: This story takes place fairly early in the history of the Jedi. In these days, the Jedi Council wasn't yet the governing body that it would later become. Most Jedi were unafiliated with any larger organization, simple wandering knights making their way through the galaxy and trying to do some good.

Oh, and don't feel as though they have to be "your" students or attached in some way to your character--they can just be any random student who attends the academy. Feel free to create connections and relationships if you wish, but you aren't obligated to. One last note: one of the students you create should be someone who is very new to the academy (having arrived no more than a few weeks ago). The reason for this will become a bit more clear once the game gets started. [/QUOTE]
