Bastila is a Jedi Knight. She is a consular, so she focuses on both physical and Force abilities. There are several specific Force powers that she either already had, or I have decided that she has. Please let me know if she can use these on your character.

Bastila has the rare force ability called Battle Meditation, so she can encourage her allies and demoralize her foes to sway the course of a battle. This will probably be up to the moderator in any dungeon or large-scale battle scenario.

Bastila also has Force Sense, Force Stun, Force Persuasion, and Force Wave. Force sense is not telepathy, but it is similar to empathy and foresight; it is knowing how people feel and anticipating good or evil ahead (though not knowing exactly what form it might take). So, can she tell how your character is feeling? I guess knowing the future, in part or whole, is also up to the moderator.

Force stun stops an opponent in his or her tracks and renders him or her motionless. If anyone plans on fighting her, in training or actual combat, then please let me know if she can use this power on your character.

Force persuasion is the famous Jedi mind trick. This in particular is important to know if she can use on your character. She will not do so unless necessary, and I will usually ask first.

Force wave is a push or pull effect; it is similar to telekinesis. For example, she can pull people out of danger or push monsters away. Nothing too extreme and only when necessary, but please let me know about this one as well.

You can tell me yes, no, or ask to all of these or specific ones. In general, I am open to other characters affecting Bastila, but she does have her neural band that prevents tampering with her mind, and I would prefer if you ask me first when/if you do plan on using any powers on her.

Please do not mention, insinuate, or talk about (OOC or IC) rape (at least not to/with me). You are free to flirt with me (OOC), but know that my boyfriend is on this forum, and may have something to say about that. Your character is more than welcome to flirt with, hug, kiss, or otherwise interact with Bastila. She is heterosexual and a young woman, so advances from younger characters, much older characters, or women may not go over well. Oh, she also is in love with someone, so she may take some time before moving on.

If you have any questions, then please feel free to reply to this journal post, or find me on Discord as Onyx #2900. Thank you, and I look forward to having fun with you all!

I'm good with basically all of these! I just ask that you give me a heads up on Discord beforehand.

[zweihandler]

Same as Yuuri, I'm fine with all these so long as I get a heads up!

[thedarkheir]

I'm fine with everything, just let me know before hand

[founderinglight]

I'm good on most all of these, with a note that persuasion will immediately tank CR with either Izunia or Asch if/when they catch on. Just ping me and keep discussion lines open!

Bastila can pretty much use all the Force she wants on Arianna, with the same "talk to me first" caveat as most people, and also with a note that using Force persuasion on Arianna is kind of redundant.

Jetshard (this account) - blanket yes on Force Sense and Force Wave, ask first on Force Stun and Force Persuade. Trolls can potentially have a variety of psychic powers; Jetshard herself doesn't have any overt powers, but none of these powers are anything that would strike her as particularly unusual, it's just that anything that directly alters or effects her thoughts or behavior is going to ping her as very rude at best and a legitimate threat at worst, and she'll react accordingly. She's also probably an easier target for sense, stun, and persuade than most humans.

Sonja (theosophomoric) - yes on everything, although expect a lot of questions afterward.

Hey there, this is the Rantaro from the October 2018 TDM? I'm wondering if it's ok for Rantaro to sort of fourthwall your character? He's probably heard of Star Wars via pop culture osmosis, but he probably doesn't know about any specific details about the extended canon and he certainly wouldn't know anything about a video game character.

This is just for the sake of him being somewhat familiar with Jedi stuff while also being a little weirded out... Even if he's already met a furry, the lead singer from Gorillaz, and a rapping human Sheldon J. Plankton in his previous game.

Sure!

[bastilashan]

No worries. She is from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. If your character has some knowledge of popular culture, then he might have heard of the Jedi. Honestly, Bastila has met so many who have no idea how cool she is ;) that she would be excited to have one other person know about the Jedi.

Thanks!

As for the powers she has, I'm ok with her using the force on him. Just ask me when ya need to!

Slamming down a general OK for The Force while also probably being pop culture aware.
