Sith Council Master
|
The blood red zabrak stumbled into this strange place quite by accident, or was it indeed an accident? While trying to find a secluded place in which to train in private within the Sith Academy on Ziost, Lord Manticore grew somewhat frustrated at his lack of success. No space seemed far enough or deserted enough to suit his needs. Growing increasingly frustrated, the Sith Master was about to give up his search, when a strange chill ran through him as he passed by a simple archway. The sensation caught his attention and he approached carefully. After all, this was still an ancient SITH site. Upon entering, Lord Manticore found that he was inside a vast empty chamber. It had appeared much smaller from the outside. Once his eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, the Sith Master saw what looked like runes written on the floor. Some of them followed concentric circles, others were inscribed in diagonal lines, and so on. There was even writting on the walls. It was then that Manticore noticed that the room was round, which caused him to look up. The ceiling was comprised of a large dome, with more sigils and runic writing. At the center of the dome, there was a smaller inverted dome like structure. At once Manitcore felt the pulse of the darkside coming from it, which prompted him to carefully reach out with the force. As his conciousness touched the small dome, he realized what it was. It was a Sith holocron within an Orb. Almost as if he'd flipped a switch to the "on" position, darkside energy caused the orb to glow and the holocron inside it to respond. The runes inscribed within the room also glowed faintly, and before he knew it, the Sith Master was re-living his last battle. The experience was as intense and almost as fatal as it had been a few weeks ago when he'd been ambushed by a swoop gang on a mission to Nar Shaddaa. Thankfully, the outcome remained unchanged. Manticore did notice that the injuries he'd sustained were nowhere as serious as the ones he'd suffered in that mission, however, these were real enough, though much diminished. A triumphant grin suddenly decorated the blood red zabrak's face as an idea came to mind. But first, he'd have to test his theory. The next day, Lord Manticore returned to this very chamber, and instead of fighthing off a swoop gang, he encountered his old Master. Lord Anguish. Once again, Manticore defeated his Master in ritual combat. He was exhausted at the end of it, but happy. He'd purposefully come thinking of facing his old master, and so he did. His theory was proven to be correct. Through a mixture of Sith Magic and the Sith Holocron, the chamber was not only able to recreate a combat environment, but also completely immerse the subject into one. Lord Manticore was overjoyed at this find. He did not know the original purpose for the chamber, but for him, it was the perfect virtual combat arena. Using his force powers did not seem to disturb the chamber itself, though any injuries he received were felt quite acutely. He wasn't sure if he was capable of dying here, but reasoned that the best way to find out was simply NOT to die. Armed with this bit of knowledge at his new discovery, Lord Manticore took several weeks to build his training Dojo within these chamber. Once suitable equipped, he had every intention to share his discovery with his fellow sith. Welcome to Lord Manticore's Dojo. This is a place were any combat scenario can happen in a virtual setting. From one on one duels to small skirmishes and encounters. Anyone can use the dojo at anytime. The leading purpose for this training dojo is to incorporate the use of Force Powers in a realistic manner during combat situations, and although death and permanent injury may or may not be an issue....do not be surprised if it does occur at some point.

Characters with no Force allocations will be restricted to the basic abilities listed below: Force Push: level 1 Force Pull: Level 1 Force Speed: Level 1 Force Jump: Level 1 Reflex: Level 1 Sense: Level 1 The score rating and descriptions will be according to the Sith Trials Force system. This game will be run in an RPG format, so do post in character. That being said, you will post actions ONLY for your character and NOT for your opponent, even if it is an NPC. Ktala and myself will be GMing this thread, however, any member of the Sith Council has the ability to arbitrate or cast a judgement in this game at any time. Combat scenarios will be started and controlled by the GM team, however, if you have any interesting ideas, please PM either me or Ktala for approval. NO Player vs Player Duels will be allowed here. This is a training arena. That being said, those interested in participating feel free to post your name, indicate if you have force powers already allocated ( Yes or No ) and if there's a particular scene you'd like to run. Otherwise, it will be left to the GM's discretion. Last but not least.....let's have fun!! P.S. NO JEDI ALLOWED! Edited by Lord Manticore, Apr 30 2008, 09:22 PM.
