Non-VR Games / FA in SW:TOR
« on: January 21, 2010, 06:05:15 pm »
So, I've been batting some ideas around in my head and decided to put pen to paper (well, y'know what I mean) and want to see what you guys think about FA in SW:TOR.
Your thoughts please!
Ideas for FA structure in SW:TOR[/u]

Who are the Furious Angels?
Well, I think this is something we all need to chip in for. Are we vengeance incarnate? Are we protectors of peace? Are we those who are sent in when everyone else has failed? Or are we all of these? An idea of mine is that we’re like Dan Brown’s Priory of Sion; where prominent Jedi members are actually part of FA but keep it a secret? That way we can fully integrate ourselves into the SW Universe without technically breaking canon.
Where do the Furious Angels exist?
As soon as SW:TOR was announced, one planet is particular stood out in my mind. In Ep. I The Phantom Menace, Anakin asks Padme if she is an Angel and that the Angels live on one of the Moons of Iego
If not, maybe some remote world in the outer rim territories or in the unknown regions will suffice. Hell, we could even make a planet up. Due to our Order recruiting from all professions, FA’s resources can be limitless (or near to) making it possible for us to infiltrate any organisation, feed lies and deceit amongst our enemies – using their own tactics against them – and have safe houses on every planet.
Entrance into the Furious Angels & who can join?
To this point in time, we have agreed to side with the Republic (unless I am mistaken) so this must be one requirement. Any class can join, but they are ‘knighted’ into our Order, assuming the rank of ‘Brother/Sister’ or whatever we want to call them and then progress to the rank of Knight. Like I said, this is regardless of class – even a space pirate can become a ‘Knight’.
UPDATE: Follow the Signal is in place and launched.
Proposed history of the Furious Angels.
The Furious Angels were established during the First Great Schism from which the Bogan (Dark side) was first discovered. This conflict began roughly 24,500 BBY and resulted in the Dark side users being cast out of the Jedi Order. The Furious Angels believed that to combat the growing tide of darkness, another approach was needed; so a group of Jedi consisting of the most powerful Guardians, Sentinels and Consulars decided to tread a thin line, skirting between the light and dark side but never fully falling. “To serve the light, we fight in the darkness”
After the great schism, the Angels are not heard from again until the Hundred Year Darkness. It was during this time when the Sith Order was established. All through the war, the Furious Angels earned their reputation among the Council by taking on some of the most dangerous missions of the campaign and were, ultimately, one of the key contributing factors for the victory on Corbus, thus ending the war. As quickly as they came, the Angels left.
The next recorded sighting of the Furious Angels is during the Great Hyperspace War. They are the unsung heroes of the final battle on Corusant, leading ground forces on missions into the heart of the invading army before vanishing once again.
The Furious Angels played no major part in the Third Great Schism but did play a part in the capture of Ulic Qel-Droma (with rumours that Master Vodo-Siosk Baas was indeed the Knight Commander at the time) during the Great Sith War by deploying the Wall of Light – the greatest weapon in the Jedi arsenal.
Due to a subtle disturbance in the Force, the Angels decided not to participate in the Mandalorian Warsbut instead adopted a ‘wait and see’ approach on the situation, sensing a hidden threat. After the war, instead of facing Revan’s invasion/the Jedi Civil War head on, the Angels turned their gaze to the unknown regions in an attempt to draw out the darkness hiding amongst the shadows. This darkness, unbeknowest to them was the Sith Emperor.
On 3954 BBY the Furious Angels disappeared, after the First Jedi Purge starting on Katarr, only to reappear at 3652 BBY – 1 year after the Treaty of Corusant - with a new leader and new order...
The Furious Angels and the rest of the Galaxy
Today, the question of how do the rest of the Galaxy view FA crept up on me. Are we totally hidden from the public eye or are we well known, striking fear into any wrong doer but our details are unknown and our existence is either denied or are we hunted by the Republic's law enforcement? I personally think that it'd be cool if the Republic's soldiers call us the White Knights of the Republic, cheered as we appear running to the front lines and then disappearing as quick as we appeared.
What say you?
The Furious Angels and non-Jedi
Whilst many of us will be running as Jedi, I believe that all members should be Force sensitive (since as per SW lore, the Force is present in everyone) and with their extensive training, have become one of the best in their fields of choice. For example, being the top of their class in Havoc Squad training.
Specialities in the Furious Angels
As pioneers of the Force, combat, research etc. I believe that those of us who become leaders in our fields should teach our new recruits or anyone who wishes to expand on their own abilities. I propose that we should give titles out to those who have either a) demonstrated amazing abilities in their field b) done a unique task before anyone else in the Sect or c) it fits them either as a player or in a roleplaying sense (I've always imagined Broin as a Jedi Archaeologist who has delved deeper than most into the Force's secrets and as a result has become an uber Consular).
Examples:
* Jedi Watchman - Do you feel an attachment to a planet and spend most of your time there? Maybe become a Watchman of that planet is possible; just like Kai Justiss, Watchman of Kashyyyk.
*Jedi Weapon Master - Do you possess the ability to go toe to toe with the most powerful of foes? Do you strive to hone your Lightsaber technique? As you advance, maybe you'll wish to teach others and become a Battle Master?
*Jedi Shadow - Do you actively search for the symptoms of the Dark Side restlessly? Do you strike first and ask questions later?
Just an idea...
