As you develop your character as a Dark Jedi, do you have the ability to choose all their attributes? Such as:
Fighting style-Kendo, Jujitsu, etc.
Saber Color-Blue, Purple
What you want to accomplish as a DJK
Force Powers
Another thing, how do your abilities as DJK's advance?
Do you use the same system as the Army? (Specialty stories)
Does your character in the DJO affect your character in the Army or Navy? I know we've discussed how DJK's are supposed to keep their identity secret when on duty in the Army, but does that mean you have to surpress your DJO character?

My "DJO Character" is the same character as my Navy character. They are not different or seperate. My bio gives an idea of what most people in the Navy might think of him.
As far as skills and whatnot, we keep it within the (somewhat "realisitic") bounds of reason. More than that you're not really permitted to know. ----------------------- Admiral Japheth Cappadocious, Krath Templar

Yes,
if your chara are troopies, as you reach certain point, you may able to use bachagi (woohoo) and able to pull 3 hits mid-air hadouken.
if your chara are flighties, as you reach certain point, you may mind trick your wingmate to be a tank/meat/tie-shield/crash-test-dummy while your tie are fleeing from a battle to the nearest cantina.
if your chara are engiees, as you reach certain point, you may turn back the time of your clock office since the deadline are near. It affects your clocks only, though... do-oh.
seriously,
why do you wish to pull DJ stunts infront of you fellow trooper? i thought djo should be discreet ?
even a simple mind trick must perform a finger waive action.. bleh.

Actually, any "actions" or "movements" of the body that you see the Jedi do while performing a mind trick or any other ability is to merely help them concentrate. For those who are very adept at, for example, telekinesis, they do not need to flick a wrist, wiggle a finger or twitch a nose to perform such feats.
But yeah, it's as what Japheth said above. You do not "choose" your Force powers, and it's not like a game where once you advance you all of a sudden learn these new feats. ----------------------- Cleric "Cosmic" Vor'soth

I realize that, it just confuses me how your character is to advance and become more powerful.
The way some of the responses were worded, it seemed your abilities stagnate instead of grow. ----------------------- Private First Class Jakireth

Your character's abilities in the Force (his/her talents) isn't like the specialties skills at all. They don't "grow" after x-amount of weeks. It's just different - a different system. ----------------------- Cleric "Cosmic" Vor'soth

How do you acquire force powers and abilities as a DJK?

Don't think of it in terms of "powers." That's my biggest beef with the games. You've got different types of abilities that the Force allows you to use. Your character can be weaker or stronger in different areas. The more you use a certain thing, the better you are at it. Your abilities can stagnate if you don't use certain things for a while. Also, if you push yourself too hard and do things you're not ready for you can age faster or hurt yourself. Most of this is self-policed. The majority of the Order knows how to make it realistic enough. The rest are learning. One thing that the better writers have grasped is that it's a better story if there are flaws and struggles.

You're right though, Hellra. Your character in the DJO is your own, just like in any other division. You get to decide what you want your character to be... but within the confines of reason. ----------------------- Cleric "Cosmic" Vor'soth

So, you come to better your character and their abilities by developing them yourself, but within obvious constraints and reason?

I'm currently in the process of doing a complete redo of my bio, and character in general. Although you do contribute to your characters personality in stories, (by doing a certain action) the way he/she is comes from their background and how they were brought up. Thats what makes your biography and the time you spend developing that character so important. ----------------------- Private First Class Jakireth
