A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away... thousands upon thousands of years of history found themselves in danger of being retconned, but never mind about that. What was I talking about? Oh, right, space paladins.

I'm Yubi, a newcomer to the game! I'm bringing in Revan from the first KOTOR game; if any of you have played the Old Republic MMO, this takes place about three hundred years prior to that. ONCE UPON A TIME there was a Sith warlord with the blood of thousands on her hands and a hair's breadth away from conquering the galaxy (FOR THE GREATER GOOD), but man everyone does crazy things when they're young and stupid. She suffers from RPG Hero syndrome, which means she is a huge goddamned busybody and will get up in all your grills. Her Arcana is the Chariot, and her Unlucky Arcana are Judgement, Lovers, Moon, and Tower. She's in Pisces 11-07. She has wibbly wobbly mind powers.

I'll be setting up her permissions and other fiddly journaly things later today. If y'all need to get in touch, I'm on Plurk as piratopteryx, and on AIM with the same username.

Did you ever know, that you're my hero?

[forcebonded]

TEE HEE.

hey Meetra how do you feel about the more jolly light-hearted parts of your military service record coming up to say hi

[echo_of_a_jedi]

The only way to deal with this is going to be lots of drinking.

[risingshepard]

Another badass that doesn't get hit with the unlucky arcana? Count Shepard in. :|b

[forcebonded]

FELLOW BIOWARE PROTAGONIST. WITH HORRIBLE LUCK GETTING HIGH COUNCILS TO LISTEN TO THEM. COMRADE.

(Facts: I made Revan an Aries since she basically is renegon!Shepard...)

[risingshepard]

Yeah, and she will dread the moment that any of them show up here, if they're even appable. 8|

Matching Arcana is awesome too.

(Mine's Paragade, funny enough--though very very light on the Renegade leanings 8|)

[echo_of_a_jedi]

I'm just going to leave these here.

[greyerrant]

I have played Kotor 1, 2 and the MMO ;3

More psykers argh Garviel is so angry you don't understand.

WElcome to Hinoto-Ri, and this is Bill, hi!

Garviel here is about as close as you can get to a substitute Mandalorian. Think an even older Canderous.

I highly recommend a thread with Loken, the Exile, and Revan. If only for the humor factor since Meetra will have to jump in to explain things since the Exile mostly cleans up Revan's messes anyway.

We should also have an OOC retcon fight so we can talk about how Garvi's universe used to have people who could breed with space elves and how Space Marines were just normal guys on combat drugs, and we used to have squats and ----

yeah retcons.

[forcebonded]

Ah, retcons! That'll give you, er, bees.

Also, don't knock the psychic powers. It gets you discounts.

Well, they'll get along a treat, then. If he can wax poetic about aerial bombardments she'll feel right at home.

I haven't gotten into the MMO yet (recently plunged into GW2, or, "yubi plays a seven foot tall cat who climbs on top of every ruin"), though I am aware of Revan and Meetra's cameo on it. Honestly, my primary impression was how needlessly complicated his costume is, but anyway...

[greyerrant]

He's a well-known storyteller of his legion and can tell fantastic tales about how they conquered the shit out of the entire galaxy.

He's sort of indirectly poetic in the way that anyone ever written by dan abnett is, even if they're blunt and honest. It has a lot to do with his writing style, I think. ;)

BEEEEEEEEES.

Oh and feel free to try the MMO whenever you like, I've got a level 50 and have run meetra-mun here through a couple of flashpoints just for the funs. I'm at the point where I got super powerful before my sub lapsed and so I come in occasionally and play with noobs during the free to play period and make their life awesome by killing stuff for them.

[likescats]

:D Yes Female!Revan is the best Revan!

Also RPG Hero syndrome a great name for that. I think a few of my characters have it XD

[forcebonded]

Yesss. Actually, as much as I scoff at Revan's overdressed costume design, it's surprisingly androgynous. The designers could easily have made it a masculine suit of armor or a plain black cloak (hell, Revan in the KOTOR comics is frequently in a formless hooded robe), but instead you have something that doesn't quite look like a woman in drag or a man wearing a dress. It's impressive.

IT'S A COMMON SYMPTOM. Even Death is susceptible to it if I know my Discworld :I

[likescats]

That's a good point. It's pretty androgynous. ...also now I want to replay KOTOR.

XD Yes he is. Getting Involved is something that gets him in trouble now and then.

[fools_journey]

Aww yeah another person with a lightsaber! /o/

I mean um... Welcome to Strings, Yubi! c: I can't say I'm familiar with Revan, as I've not actually played any of the KOTOR games, but I'm still excited to see people playing from the expanded universe. My name's Snarky, and I just play the male Persona 3 protag here, who is less RPG Hero syndromy, I think. Fewer side quests to be a busybody with, probably.

I hope you enjoy it here!
