What is Star Wars Chronicles? Star Wars Chronicles is a writing community. Individuals may register as members to not only discuss Star Wars but also write characters meant for roleplay purposes in the Old Republic era of the timeline; somewhere in between 3643 and 3639 BBY. What kind of character can I make? At SWC, you are allowed to create Force Users and Non-Force Users. What does that mean? It means that you can be a Jedi or Sith, who are either fully devoted to the ideals of each caste or diverge from what is expected in a believable fashion. For example, the Sixth Line is a group of Jedi that operates under a more militant structure than the typical Jedi. Vice verse, the Order of Revan is a subgroup of the Sith Empire who take a more balanced approach when it comes to the Light and Dark sides of the Force. More traditional Jedi and Sith adhere to the word of the Jedi Council and the Dark Council respectively. Non-Force Users are also encouraged, including; Republic Forces, Empire Forces, Bounty Hunters, and Smugglers. Republic Forces, whether they are Troopers, SIS Agents, or Politicians answer directly to the Supreme Chancellor. Empire Forces, whether they are Imperial Heavy Infantry, Intelligence Agents, or Politicians answer to the Emperor. Bounty Hunters and Smugglers play by their own rules, or the laws of whatever space they inhabit. At SWC, no matter what kind of character you decide to make, it is expected that this character will take a structured approach to the skills they learn; this prevents characters from being overpowered, enabling godmodding, and creates a harmonious diversity among the writers. Once your character graduates into the second rank, a list of advance classes will be provided to choose from and the abilities of each will be quite different from one another. You may change the direction of your character at any time, keeping the basic abilities learned through rank one; however, the advance class abilities will reset. What is Godmodding/Godmoding? Here on SWC, we have a very strict, no-tolerance policy when it comes to Godmodding/Godmoding. What this is, is when a writer takes control of another person's character; calling reactions in replies, confirming hits without consent. It can also be defined as writing a character that is too powerful, invincible, or demonstrating abilities that is beyond what they have learned. Any infractions concerning this rule violation will result in an immediate post edit and a warning. Second offenses will have a second warning. Third offenses will result in loss of subforum privileges or banning. How do I 'level up' my character? On SWC, we are going to follow a three rank system for all of the factions. All new characters start at rank one, unless a rank transfer from another forum is approved by the moderating staff, and have to progress through a set number of threads and the learning of abilities to reach the next rank. Each writer has a preferred style of writing and at SWC, we require that your character either learns from another writer with a character of a higher rank. Or, there will be a self-study option where you character can learn from holocrons or on their own. If you choose to be a self-study or a mixture of the two, solo threads will be analyzed for their quality by the moderating team. If your solo threads are too short and/or not detailed enough, you will be required to learn from a second or third rank. Time and effort are required to be a self-study and each ability should take at least two or three well-written posts to learn. The number of threads for self-study characters will be determined at a later time. What are the three ranks for each faction?
