So the first thing before I can start the IC thread is... how do we begin?<br/><br/>I have a few ideas in mind;<br/><br/>1. The Jedi have not yet resolved to leave the order and are having a meeting amongst themselves. Jekin is likely speaking with Kelluka at this point. Linzi is on station in Coruscant chillaxing awaiting orders.<br/><br/>2. The Jedi have already made their decision to leave the temple, have contacted the Republic offering to be volunteers and are awaiting their first meeting with Linzi.<br/><br/>3. The Jedi and Linzi are chillaxing on Coruscant when trouble is afoot in the senate chamber (Stayr's dramatic defection and Mandalore's proclamation) Maybe they are nearby or just so happen to be in a position to respond.<br/><br/>4. Stayr's dramatic defection has already occurred and the Jedi and Linzi are just chillaxing until an emergency call for reinforcements comes in.<br/><br/>While 3 and 4 have the 'Star Wars-esque' in medias res opening with an action scene, they don't lend themselves to roleplaying very well. Not much of an opportunity to introduce your characters and show off their personality when blasters are flying. The further back we start, the more time you'll get to write your characters at a time of peace.
