Topic: The Covenant - RP story idea

[*<JO>*Lytali]

well to clear some things up , if this happens we won't be tied with any Dark Jedi / Dark Side groups all the participants (villains or good ) will be from the order , also I might be mistaken since I am only a hopeful but I do not think that rping a single char as a villain is breaking the code since OOC and my main / rest of alts will keep to the code (even the villain will keep to the code in all public events/ appearances )  I meant for this to be a private rp-story to spice up things in the Order internally.

Also they are not Sith / Dark Jedi they just want power within the order and would manipulate others to get it.

As for the ending you could discover the leader / try to redeem / fail and kill (I have no problem with a dead char).
as for the other members they could all just find redemption (its not probable that the followers will be a lot )
or you could kill them (they could just come up with a  new backstory instead of re-rolling an in-game char)

Or for this particular event they could make new 'characters' for their toons that will expire at the end of this event,
thus there will be no lasting effects on the order , no harm to the code (while the actions might not be aligned with the code its only acting for this particular event but in truth every member will be keeping to the code OOC , IC for other characters / events)

but ofcourse this would only be good if no one felt strongly against it , when I first made this poll I put the 'Hell No' no option and decided that if even one member selected that option and would not be persuaded to change his/her mind , then I will not go through with this story.

I also realize that some members have lost friends and colleagues to the dark side before , I certainly did not intend to open old wounds and I am sorry for that , but to be clear there will be no leaving / total fall to the dark side, the end is the only part pre-determined where the leader is discovered and defeated (in guild) .

Just to precise one thing.

Dark Jedi is not The Lord of the Sith. It's a VERY different things.

Darth Bane trilogy last book (don't quite remember the name) has a quite nice talk about the Dark Jedis.

A Dark Jedi is not jedi serving the Dark Side. A Dark Jedi is so because he didn't accept the rules of conduct and the plain life in the Order. It's a Jedi who serves no one and uses his powers for only one purpose: make his life enjoyable and as long as possible. He would avoid conflicts and escape the Order, and the Order would put him in its "Kill on sight" list, but it won't be its top priority at any time.

He's a bastard, in a word.

Dark Lord of the Sith, on the other hand, is quite a different thing. He embraces the Sith Code and he is subordinate to the Emperor's will. It's as impossible for a sith to be a spy in the Jedi Order as it's impossible the countrary: he'd be noticed after first ten seconds.

Yes, there were cases when a sith tries to forget his past and turns to the Light Side, but it's a different matter.

Turning back to our realities, when you'll be accepted and chosen as a padawan, you will need to learn less than a slice of our history to understand the reason of so negative reaction to this idea.

We had a rich history in these 174 years
