In light of the next Star Wars movie coming out soon, led by (likely soon to be called) Jar Jar Abrams, I've thought up an idea. Now before you all start throwing things at me, this is how it's gonna go. I propose a large Star Wars AU RP. Okay? Put away the rotten tomatoes, please.

Now, you want plot? Here's a small plot. This can either occur in the New Jedi Order era, or the Clone Wars era. That'll be up to a vote. Next, you take one of your OCs on this site, or make a completely new one just for this. If they're not fully adults, pretend they are. And then you do the things below. Ready for your journey into a galaxy, far, far away?

If Clone Wars
It is a period of War. The Separatists have created a massive clone army, with which they hope to destroy the Galactic REpublic and take control of the galaxy. With them are the Sith, a race of Dark Force wielders that wish to bring all under their control. However, the Galactic Republic has the Clone Army, a genetically made force of superhuman soldiers that receive any command, no matter what. Along with them are the Jedi, Light Force wielders and keepers of the peace. Will you bring balance to the Galaxy, or destroy it?

If New Jedi Order
The Rebellion has ended. The Empire has been defeated. The ruins of the Death Stars float amongst the stars, picked at by salvagers and treasure hunters. Luke Skywalker, hero of the Rebellion, has created the New Jedi Order, where force users across the galaxy may come out of hiding in order to once again keep the peace. However, dark forces stir once again. The Sith have returned, and they are closer than anyone believes....

Classes
Simply put, there are MANY different types of classes and jobs across the Star Wars universe. However, at my discretion, these are the ones you may choose.

Jedi
Users of the Force, the Jedi have been the keepers of the peace for millenia. The Light Side of the Force guides them, and allows them to perform amazing feats of supernatural skill.

Sith
Users of the Force, the Sith used to be extinct since the time of the Old Republic. However, they came to rise again, from the ashes of their past. The Dark side of the Force is theirs to command, bringing chaos and destruction across the galaxy.

Bounty Hunter
Always looking for a big score, the Bounty Hunters of the galaxy come equipped with the best weapons and armor for any occasion. Lawless, Codeless, and looking out for only themselves, they scour the galaxy, taking jobs and doing them right.

Crime Lords
The galaxy is usually lawless in some areas, most commonly the Outer Rim. Crime runs rampant, and so do the Crime Lords. Usually sought after by bounty hunters, they do their best to stay alive as long as possible.

That's all the classes I can think of right now. Recommendations accepted.

Races
There are many, many different races in the Star Wars universe. I'll just mark off a few. Take your pick, or find your own. No making new races.
 * Humans
 * Wookies
 * Ewoks
 * Jawas
 * Droids
 * Cyborgs
 * Clones
 * Mon Calamari
 * Tusken Raiders
 * Hutts

Backstory
What planet is your character from? Did they have dealings with the Hutts? Were they ever fugitives from the Empire? Make sure this part is descriptive. Anything here can affect your interactions in the RP.

Appearance
Self-explanatory. Be descriptive here as well.

Miscellaneous
For things such as height, weight, age, etc., I recommend checking out the Star Wars wiki. Easy to google, easy to find.

RP types
Since the galaxy is so vast, there will likely be many RP types, ranging from Contracts to Peace-Keeping to simply loafing around the Jedi Temple. I will not go into detail, as this is just a planning Blog. But all recommendations are wanted.

Equipment
Again, this is a planning Blog, but I'm going to make this clear. All of your equipment, such as weapons, ships, armor, etc., is decided by me, since I'm pulling a page out of Electric Spark's book and turning this into a GM style RP.

Roles
This is the interesting part. Depending on the plot chosen, different roles will be given. As such, I must say this. NOBODY CAN BE A JEDI MASTER OR SITH LORD IN THE CLONE WARS ERA. I will give discretion in the other one, but the first rule stands. As GM, I control the events, and so nobody can be too overpowered. This is the Star Wars universe after all.

Be careful on what you pick to be your role. All Jedi and Sith padawans must have a Knight to train them, and bounty hunters cannot be too young.

Finally
DON'T PUT UP YOUR CHARACTER YET.

This is not the finalized plan! This is simply an idea giver, a blog for feedback and suggestions. Due to the "likely" large amount of people wanting to participate, there will likely be a cutoff point, if necessary.

That's it. May the Force be with you, and with any opinions you have.
