The Dawn Of A New Hope (A Star Wars/Avatar Crossover RP)

Your characters are accepted, MST!

OOC: Here's a short one for Han.

***

Username: Big T

Name: Han Solo

Age: 30s

Gender: Male

Force-Sensitive: No

Appearance: Tall and ruggedly good-looking, Han has brown hair and brown eyes. He has a light scar on his chin.

Personality: Han possesses a dry, sardonic wit, and though he can seem cocky, he can back up most of his words. A practical man, Han trusts in what he can see and touch; he refuses to believe in "hokey religions" such as the Force; instead, he relies on what he can do himself. He cares a great deal for his ship, the Millenium Falcon, and he does not care for droids. While Han may only seem to care about the bottom-dollar, and taking care of business, he is incredibly loyal to those he cares for, and for all his gruff mannerisms he has a heart of gold.

History: Han has seen a lot of action in his life. Orphaned at a young age, he has slaved for pirates, enrolled in the Academy, and worked as a smuggler. He is currently looking for a way to pay off Jabba the Hutt, after he was forced to abandon a great load of spice on a recent smuggling run.

Weapons: Blasters

Additional Information: Han is fluent in several languages, and he is an expert pilot. His best friend, and wing-man, is the Wookie he calls "Chewie."

Accepted, Big T! And I believe Han is about....oh, maybe ten odd years older than Leia. So he's probably around his mid thirties. Early forties at most, I'd say. But anyway, he is accepted!

Alright, I believe we only have to wait on Mariah and Alec's profiles. Then ve can begin!

Name: Jet
Age: 19
Bender?: No
Force-Sensitive?: No
Gender: Male
Appearance: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=jet#/d172b0u
Personality: Jet is a charmer and he very good at persuading people. He tends to flirt a lot, but he can be very serious as well. Jet has trust issues and doesn't like talking about himself to others, especially to strangers. Jet is laidback at times, but he's focused in a fight.
History: Jet was born in an Earth Kingdom village and had a normal childhood. One day, though, the Rough Rhinos came to the village and burned it down, kiling Jet's parents. Jet fled to the forest where he lived his young life. Eventually he started to recruit other orphans or those who wanted to help fight the Fire Nation, calling the group the Freedom Fighters. Jet ran into the Gang, but because Jet was extreme in his methods they did not help him and he lost a potential relationship with Katara. Eventually Jet disbanded the Freedom Fighters and wanted to go to Ba Sing Se to start over.
Jet traveled with his friends for a while, but then went off on his own. Eventually he was taken by some Imperial higher ups, who found his use of sword skills to be entertaining. Jet spent a year fighting people and entertaining others before he managed to escape. He eventually ran into Han Solo and joined him feeling this was the best option he was going to get for a long time.

History: Haru was born in a small village. His father was taken from him when he was young because earthbending was prohibited. But Haru's only connection to his father was his own earthbending and so he would pratice secretly. He eventually ran into the Gang and thought he could develop a relationship with Katara, but he realized that she didn't want to stay with him and that he was not interested in girls anyways. After she and the others helped him free his father and the other Earthbenders, Haru started to improve himself even more. Haru is an agent of the Order of the White Lotus, and is one of the few agents who are among the Stars. He serves as a liaison between the OWL and the Rebellion.

Name: Jin
Age: 19
Bender?: Yes, Earthbender
Force-Sensitive?: No
Gender: Female
Appearance: https://media.photobucket.com/image/jin%20avatar/Speed_Demon2010/Speed_demon%20anime%202010/Jin__Avatar_by_Bizmarck.jpg?o=68
Personality: Jin is an outgoing girl, but she gets nervous easily. Jin likes to please others and have a good time, but she also knows when to back off and take care of herself. Jin is usually positive.
History: Jin was born and raised in the middle ring of Ba Sing Se. She lived in the Lower Ring though when she got older and started to work where ever she could. Jin was almosty oblivious to the effects of the war. She started to work in the Tea Shop, but Jin wasn't able to do much with her life. She found out that she was an Earthbender around 12 and would practice it by herself sometimes, so she is only fairly moderate in it.
Jin started to date a Water Tribesman named Anwar when they were both captured and sold into slavery. Princess Leia bought Jin, and promptly freed her. Jin decided to become Leia's aide, in hopes that she could use the Rebellion's connections to find Anwar so they could return home together, if possible.

Username: TokoToTheEnd
Name: Leia Organa/Skywalker
Age: 20
Bender?: No
Force-Sensitive?: Yes
Gender: Female
Appearance: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=leia&order=9&offset=24#/d10gr7d
Personality: In her youth Leia had a fiery attitude and was headstrong, though not as much as her brother and father. As a child, Leia was not fond of her role as the Princess of Alderaan. She was often seen by many, especially her family, as a tomboy and was sometimes mistaken for a domestic girl rather than a princess. As she matured her outspoken nature blossomed and her dislike of her title ceased. Leia also had a strong personality and a bright intellect. Unlike her brother, Luke Skywalker, and her father, Anakin, Leia never looked for adventure or rushed into things without thinking. Like her mother, Leia avoided the corruption of politics, and instead concentrated on helping others. When she was not serious Leia also possessed a great sense of humor. Leia is known for having compassion for her friends, and would go to great lengths to help them, whenever she could.
History: Leia was born on the asteroid colony of Polis Massa in 19 BBY, shortly after the start of the Great Jedi Purge and the foundation of the Galactic Empire. Mere seconds after her birth, her mother Padmé Amidala died, effectively orphaning Leia and her older twin brother Luke.

The orphaned daughter of the Naboo Senator and a fallen Jedi Knight was given a loving home within the House of Organa, one of the galaxy's so-called Ancient Houses. Her adoptive parents could not have children of their own, so Leia became the heir of the Royal House of Alderaan. Although the Organas were not trying to hide the fact that Leia was adopted, they never informed the Princess of her true parentage, nor did they reveal the existence of her twin brother. However, during the short time between her birth and her mother's death, Leia gained a faint memory of her mother as a beautiful and kind, yet sad woman.

Leia showed promise in politics and from early on, Bail Organa began grooming her to one day succeed him in the Imperial Senate, encouraging her to attend Alderaanian debates and palace receptions for offworld personnel. In this Leia unknowingly followed the footsteps of not only her adoptive father, but her late birth mother, who had entered politics at an early age and became a Senator. Indeed, Leia resembled Padmé Amidala in many ways: she was confident, poised, and a had a quick political wit.

At the age of 16, Leia attended the University of Alderaan together with Winter, whose holographic and audiographic memory, as Leia would joke, was very useful with homework. They studied history and art, two subjects the Empire seemed eager to suppress, which in Bail Organa's opinion was all the more reason to study them. Leia also began training with Giles Durane, a mercenary her father had hired to teach her self-defense and marksmanship. True to her tomboyish nature, she enjoyed these lessons far more than those of Madame Vesta, and showed considerable talent in both areas.

Around this time, Leia began to realize that her father was preparing her for something more than just becoming the next Senator of her home planet. A month before turning 17, she accidentally overheard a secret HoloNet meeting Bail Organa was having with fellow Senators Mon Mothma of Chandrila and Garm Bel Iblis of Corellia, where the name Alliance to Restore the Republic came up. Leia's hatred for the Empire had been growing over the years—she certainly found their treatment of non-Humans and women atrocious and their desire to control everything appalling—but this was the first time she heard anyone discuss an open rebellion. She decided not the tell her father what she had heard, but promised herself to make him proud and do whatever it took to restore the freedoms the Empire was systematically taking away.

Sometime after turning 17, Leia had shared with her father her disgust of the Empire and how it treated its citizens, as well as her desire to make a difference with him. Her fire and abilities were noted by some Imperial officials because, as of 2 BBY, Leia was being held captive on the planet Kashyyyk to keep her out if the way. She was not harmed, but rather treated as a dignified "guest" as the Imperials in charge did not wish to provoke a galactic incident by harming the daughter of a powerful and wealthy Senator. Still, she was not allowed to leave, nor was she permitted to communicate with the outside world. Also, Captain Ozzik Sturn threatened to have her be an "unfortunate victim in a Wookiee uprising." While on the planet, Leia collected data on the Skyhook that was being used to take Wookiee slaves from the planet in mass numbers. She stored this data in her droid, R2-D2. When Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Galen Marek, arrived to save her in order to enlist the trust and cooperation of her father, Leia refused to leave until the skyhook was destroyed. Marek promised to destroy it if she would go leave the planet and fly to safety, which she did.

A few weeks later, Leia participated in the meeting on Corellia to establish the Rebel Alliance with her father, Mon Mothma, Garm Bel Iblis, Jedi Rahm Kota, and Galen Marek. However, while the other attendees of the meeting were present in person, Leia participated via holo. Her physical absence turned out to be beneficial as that her holo transmission was able to be terminated before her involvement could be discovered when the meeting was raided by stormtroopers led by Darth Vader. Thus her direct involvement with the new Rebellion was unknown to Vader and the Emperor.

In 1 BBY, Bail Organa—now a known enemy of the Empire—stepped down as Senator of Alderaan, a position he had held for thirty-one years, and Leia took his place. A keen political thinker, Leia knew that her diplomatic immunity and consular ship would be perfect for running covert missions for the Alliance. Bail agreed, and thus began Leia's double life as a Senator and a Rebel.
Weapons: Blaster

Your characters are accepted, Mariah!

Katara's next.

Username: Alec
Name: Mai
Age: 19
Bender?: No
Force-Sensitive?: No
Gender: Female
Appearance: 5' 9" 127 lbs., mostly muscle. Being a bounty hunter, and connected romantically to a future important figure in the galaxy, Mai has been forced to have a few styles and disguises. Classic, Poor, Tired, Sniper, Distraction, Teenager, Nightmare, Mai.
Personality: Dark, gloomy, and stoic, Mai uses apathy as a way of shielding herself from people, as a way of protecting her emotions. (Of which she is beginning to have much too many, the girl is sure.) She makes sarcastic comments when dealing with tense situations, and tries to avoid self-reflection or contemplation if possible. Mai does have a soft spot for a few people in her life, though she doesn't talk to them about what she's feeling either.
History: Mai was born in the Fire Nation Capital, the Daughter of an Ambitious Noble Couple. Her Mother, having married a man below her in family name and stature, Mai's life was characterized by her Mother making sure her Father gained enough power and stature so that she could have the same level of comfort she had grown up with before marrying. Things were tense sometimes, but Mai learned to control any wants of playing with other children, asking questions, running around, or anything annoying such as that.

When she was four, Mai was sent away to the Fire Nation Academy for girls, a place Mai would spend a great deal of her life at. When it became apparent that Princess Azula was interested in making Mai and another girl, Ty lee, her associates and playmates. When Mai's mother found out, finally received some attention from her parents. She received clothes, a larger room, certain games and books Mai was expected to have or know, even a Tsungi horn that Mai never cared to learn. Once they were sure that Mai knew what she was expected to do, they stopped the family meetings. Once Mai knew Princess Azula, they stopped spending time with her at all, and things went back to normal except for when Mai was called to the palace or Azula "Requested" to spend the night at Mai's. Over time, Mai learned to become friends with Azula, and she befriended Ty lee as well; along the way, she met and developed a bit of a crush on Prince Zuko. The years went by at the academy, at the palace, and suddenly, Zuko was banished, Azula became even more sadistic, and Mai's parents began to rapidly look for a suitor for Mai, claiming that some plan had gone unexpectedly wrong. Mai didn't know what they meant until later, but it didn't take long.

Mai's personality changed almost rapidly, becoming even more withdrawn, more apathetic, more sarcastic. So different from the sharp knives she played with whenever she could. She eventually lost her two friends as well, when her family moved to the Earth Kingdom. It wasn't long before Azula and Ty lee came back however, this time with a mission. First it was to capture Zuko and former General Iroh, then it was to capture the Avatar, then it was to kill Darth Vader and Zuko, then it was to Capture the Avatar, kill Zuko, and kill Vader painfully. Mai left the Azula and Ty lee not too long after the kill Zuko part of the plan.

Mai met her first Alien; A Twi'lek Bounty hunter named Zahanna. That was the real beginning of the rapid changes, at least, that's when Mai finally realized things would never be like her Parents assumed her life would be. Mai learned how to shoot her first blaster, went on her first space transport, and she agreed to become a Bounty Hunter. For a while, Mai was exhilarated. She went to Ba Sing Se with Zahanna, and eventually met up with Ty lee, who they saved from Azula's abusive self. Then she found Zuko, who was calling himself Darth Helios now. Mai ignored how different Zuko was, and tried to pay attention to the parts of him that were still ... Zuko. So she helped Zahanna meet up with Vader and they struck a deal somehow, so Mai was finally working with Ty lee and Zuko again.

Azula ended up dying, the Avatar ended up dying, and after her planet was taken over and completely subjugated, her family ended up being dead to boot. It was their fault for not knowing they weren't supposed to resist, Mai supposed. There wasn't an order, and they had no idea how powerful the Empire was. (They didn't know there was an Empire at all.) Mai hasn't been home since, instead traveling the stars with Zahanna and Ty lee. Mai's done a few (Apparently minor) jobs with Zahanna and Ty lee, traveling from planet to Planet, catching their prey. Recently, Zahanna's taken on a bigger target. Another Jedi Knight once again. It's been a long search, there even being a few breaks. During this time, Mai's had moments to spend time with Zuko (Also an avid traveler of the Galaxy), at the private residence that Darth Vader had set out for them. These moments both helped grow and strain the relationship between Mai and Zuko.

Mai knows she loves Zuko, but she knows she feels nothing for Darth Helios. So far, she's managed to take the good with the bad, since that's better then questioning everything that's happened to Zuko (Thus being forced to question everything that's happened to her).
Weapons: DH-17 HH Blaster, Dl 44 Blaster, Dual Trigger blaster pistol, DLT-20A blaster rifle, seven plasma grenades, an assortment of knives she carries around for sentimental value (They catch people off guard), Zahanna's ship (It's bigger then most people), Ty lee's loyalty, Zuko's affections/possessiveness.
Additional Information:

Accepted, Alec! I eagerly look forward to seeing Katara, Anwar, Lilith, and any other characters you bring back/take/make.

“That's no moon! That's a space station!”

Username: Alec
Name: Katara
Age: 18
Bender?: Yes, water.
Force-Sensitive?: Yes,
Gender: Female
Appearance: 5' 6", 139 lbs. Katara 1, 2.
Personality: Katara is a passionate person, a fighter, most would say. She's very hard-working, and she doesn't give up. Katara can be very emotional at times, but also very empathetic as well, since she has issues with ignoring what other people are going through. She does have a one strike policy though, where she'll trust you at first, but once you break that trust, she's done with you.
History: Born in the Southern Water Tribe to Hakoda and Kya, Katara became used to harsh environments and meager resources at a young age. When Katara was six years old, her Mother was killed by Fire Nation Raiders. Being the last person to see her Mother alive, Katara has never been able to let what happened go. She spent the next eight years of her life taking her mother's place in the village, most of it was spent taking care of Sokka, especially after their Father left to get involved with the war. Katara took care of her brother, practiced waterbending, and dared to dream that things would get better during this time.

But by chance, or fate, Katara and her brother Sokka found Aang, the last airbender. He was the Avatar, the worlds last hope for peace, and the first new friend Katara had made in a long time, so when they began to travel, it shouldn't have been a surprise that she fell in love with the boy. For the next six months, Katara traveled the world with Aang and Sokka, and she met many people, friends and enemies alike, and learned quite a bit about herself and her people's culture. She also mastered waterbending.

Things took a turn for the (Hard to believe) worse, when in Ba Sing Se, it became apparent that there was an even bigger threat then the Fire Nation waiting out there. The Gaang (Now with a young earthbending Master named Toph along for the ride) joined forces with two Jedi, and the Fire Lord's own Brother, Iroh, to take down Darth Vader and his new apprentice, Zuko, the prince of the Fire Nation.

They failed. Badly.

Aang died, along with the Jedi, and despite Katara's best attempts to heal Aang ... she failed as well. Her homeworld (A new term for the girl) was over run quickly, and Katara escaped to the skies with her Brother, Toph, and Iroh. They all joined the Rebel Alliance shortly after leaving the star system, and though Katara's become acquainted with a few other Rebels, she's large stuck around her Brother, Toph, and surprisingly, General Iroh as well. Recently they've had to split up to search for a pair of twins that are meant to bring the downfall of the Empire. Katara's not sure how old they'll be or who they are, but she is determined to find the twins. To save her home, to have a purpose, to get the revenge she's been waiting for.
Weapons: She has a blaster, but isn't a very good aim.


Username: Alec
Name: Lilith Fahim
Age: 30
Bender?: No
Force-Sensitive?: No
Gender: Female
Appearance: 5' 7" 142 lbs. Lilith
Personality: Lilith is a creative introverted type person, who happens to be horribly frightened and passive about things she shouldn't be. She can be rather perceptive at times, and she is rather tired of the life she's living these past few years.
History: Lilith was born on a back-water farming planet. Nothing significant happened in the girls life until she was in her late teens, and her Father died during a mishap involving the farming equipment. Lilith left her home and joined the Stormtroopers, which probably wasn't the smartest decision considering she wasn't a clone and was a woman to boot, but Lilith got through dealing with the Troopers conformity policies. She did whatever she was told, whenever she was told, and thus found herself serving on Darth Vader's ship when it crashed onto the bender planet.

Lilith began to question her loyalty to the Empire while on this other back-water planet full of spiritual people, she questioned a lot of things, actually. During this time she ended up becoming friends with Fi, one of the clone troopers. Despite how unlikely their friendship was, Lilith stayed friends with Fi even after they left the planet and no longer had to rely on each other. That friendship has only grown over the past few years. At the age of thirty though, Lilith is at the age where most human (Non-clone) Stormtroopers would retire or transfer to a Desk job to try and rise up through the ranks. After everything she's been through, Lilith knows she could live comfortably on the retirement funds the Empire has set up for her; nevertheless, the Soldier continues to work on Vader's ship, feeling like she wouldn't know where to go if she left her job.
Weapons: DLT20A Blaster Rifle, and two DH-17 HH Blasters.


Username: Alec
Name: Anwar Yam
Age: 32
Bender: Water
Force Sensitivity: A bit.
Gender: Male
Appearance: 6'1" 159 lbs. Picture here.
Personality: Anwar is quiet but polite when possible, the man has a habit of letting his emotions control his decisions and actions. Considering how vengeful a person Anwar can be, this probably isn't a good thing. He tries to be observant and affectionate around those he cares about, but Anwar has issues with being reckless and foolish.

History: Anwar's only living relative, his young brother, was killed when Zhao invaded the Northern Water Tribe. Anwar blamed the Avatar himself as he saw the boy run away while his brother was still acting like a true warrior and stayed with his men to try and fight the Fire Nation like they were supposed to. Anwar began to train even harder at both his weaponry skills and his bending. He told master Pakku that he would go with him to help rebuild the Southern Water Tribe so he could be taught a few more skills before facing the Avatar, but Pakku found out half-way through the trip south and left Anwar in the Earth Kingdoms where Anwar traveled for a short time.

Eventually, Anwar ran into an even worse enemy then the Avatar, General Iroh, the Dragon of the West. Perhaps against his better judgement. He experienced a kinship, an understanding of sorts, with Iroh. They traveled together in search of the Avatar, only to settle down and start a Tea Shop in Ba Sing Se. Anwar was not able to forget his revenge though, similarly to how Iroh was not able to let go of his Nephew. During their travels, Anwar ran into a younger boy named Jet, who he hit it off with almost instantly. When they separated though, Jet began to follow Anwar and Iroh around the cities of Ba Sing Se for some reason. The Freedom Fighter was obviously disappointed with Anwar for helping out Iroh, a member of the royal family of the Fire Nation. Anwar could understand why Jet hated Iroh, even if he couldn't let Het get away with hurting him. Jet ended up being taken away by the Dai Lee after Anwar almost successfully killed him, and Anwar hasn't seen him since.

A few weeks later, Iroh joined forces with his psychotic Niece Azula, and disappeared. Where to, Anwar had no idea. But he learned his lesson about trusting the old General, especially after his new home was burnt to the ground. Anwar actually regretted getting Jet arrested. But the boy still owned the tea shop, technically, and he ended up hiring a few people to work there under his name. That was where Anwar fell in love with Jin, the vivacious young earthbending girl who also loved tea. They managed to date for a few months, and Anwar felt like he accomplished a lot in this time. He even let go of his brother's death and the whole idea of revenge, though that was slightly easier now that the Avatar was dead.

For a time, Anwar was happy, even with the Empire quickly taking over everything. But then, the Benders began to be kidnapped, and parts of Ba Sing Se began to be demolished. It didn't take much for Anwar to join the growing Rebellion, especially considering he never thought about how quickly they would be crushed by the Galactic Empire. Anwar was taken, as was Jin surprisingly, and they were both sold into Slavery. Being Benders, they were both an exotic commodity, and were thus sold separately for quite a few billion credits. Anwar has no idea where Jin is now (Story of his life), but he is determined to escape his slaver and find her now, and maybe kill as many Stormtroopers as possible along the way.

Haha. Loved the profiles, Alec. Accepted! Though I am curious. Who is that other girl in the first picture of Katara? Korra?

Good news, everyone! We can now start! I'll get started on the opening post tonight. If anyone has any last minute character claims or creations to post, now would be the time.

IDK, I'm gonna go ahead and say it's Katara on a swamp planet or something.

((WE. ARE. OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))

((And...bear with me, please. It's been ages since I saw A New Hope.))

Darth Vader

Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, strode calmly through the corridors of his personal Star Destroyer. The Sith Lord was currently heading toward the docking bay, where they had set up a connection with Princess Leia's currently under-siege ship. At the moment storm-troopers were storming the entrance, but apparently there was heavy resistance.

That would soon be fixed.

Flanked by a mixture of 501st stormtroopers and birth recruits (among them, one Fi and Lilith Fahim), the Dark Lord reached the connection joint between his ship and the Princess'. The door to the connection joint opened, and Darth Vader walked forth. As he entered Leia Organa's ship, his new squad of stormtroopers poured forth from the sides, chasing down any of those who had resisted before.

"Find the Princess, and bring her to me. Alive." the Dark Lord's booming voice commanded of his soldiers.

((I will post with my other characters tomorrow. And now, let the games begin! I sure hope this RP is a great blast and success!))

Shaak Ti

Meditating in an abandoned apartment complex that strayed dangerously close to the more polluted and clouded lower atmosphere, not that their idea was original; Shaak Ti took a deep breath. It kept them further away from prying eyes, and too many questions...especially from the filthy Hutt slugs, but the pollution was almost unbearable.

Sitting across from her were her students, possible force sensitive benders; and beside her, fellow Jedi Master Ayla Secura. Master Secura herself had helped Shaak Ti and a few other students set up air purifiers and repair some of the major damage.

"Repeat the Jedi Code," she said, looking over her students, starting their daily training regiment.

Darth Helios

A small ship flew through hyperspace, heading toward the Hutt world of Nar Shadda. It was a place Helios had not been to before, and from what he had heard would not be enjoying. The young man sat with his arms crossed, eyes closed, gathering himself for the trial that awaited him. His pilot, for he had never taken to flying himself, sat rigid, focused ahead and on the readings.

Master Shaak Ti, a dangerous foe, a master of the Light Side. She will likely not be alone, so I need a plan, to fight her alone, he mused. Of course, this was assuming he could find her. The smog of the world made it dangerous to travel everywhere, and there would be no telling where she would be that wouldn't attract attention. The Force would only help if he got near enough, it wouldn't be likely he could sense her halfway across the moon.

"How long," Darth Helios asked the pilot. "About one standard hour, sir," he answered. The Apprentice nodded and went over his forms in his head. When you kill Shaak Ti, then you will be ready, my apprentice. We shall destroy the Emporer and rule the galaxy together, the voice of his master rang in his head, so real it was almost as if it really had been the Dark Lord, but no, just a memory. "My destiny will be realized at last," he said aloud.

Ayla Secura

Standing, the Twi'lek Jedi Master stretched, loosening her sore muscles, trying not to aggravate her wounds. Looking over the students as they rehearsed the Jedi Code, she walked over to a duracrete plate in the wall, sliding it aside as she pulled out the wooden training swords.

As soon as the students were finished, Ayla spoke, "Remember, no bending." she said sternly; with as many times as they had done this, you'd think they'd remember that. Shaak Ti had a theory that their bending stemmed from Force Sensitivity, so the two masters tried to limit their bending as much as possible.

If they were Force Sensitive, the activity of Nar Shaddaa would help cover them, but still...they had to take precautions, "And, begin."

----------------------------------
On Ji

Steadying her breathing, she set herself in a striking pose, forgetting what fighting style it was, but she remembered seeing Shaak Ti use it in demonstration, knowing it had great defensive capabilities against a single opponent.

Sokka yawned a bit as he sat in the pilot's seat in the cockpit. The Space Wolf was still the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life (save for Toph, he'd quickly add in his girlfriend's presence). Sure, there were bigger, more heavily armed ships, but the Space Wolf was one of the fastest and maneuverable.

The only downside was that hyperspace was bore. Sure, it was fun to look at sometimes, despite Katara's warnings that he'd go mad (not that he'd ever listen to those. He was a man of science!). Traveling between planets took time, believe it or not, and eventually, sabbac and pazaak just couldn't shake the crampness you felt after awhile.

"I almost miss the Imperials. They're not polite houseguests, but outsmarting them never gets old," he commented aloud.

With a gasp, Toph started awake. She was shaking and drenched in sweat, and her heart pounded in her throat and up to her ears.

Hazy flashes of memories and half formed thoughts washed over her. Heat and screams. . . Two new lives born, another reborn, twisted and broken. . . A great roar, a flash of energy that thrummed through her body, gfear, so much fear, then silence. . .

Toph shuddered, feeling as if she had come up from a deep, cold place. Her head ached. Her throat hurt, too.

Had she been screaming? She hoped not. It was already bad enough, having those kinds of dreams again.

They felt so real. . .

Dorothy

"Shall I contact the nearest Star Destroyer, Sokka, and tell them we wish to be boarded?" the android asked in a monotone voice. Though a slight smirk on Dorothy's face betrayed her actual emotion.

Fi

"At once, my lord." Fi said, acknowledging his liege's orders. The clone fanned out with his fellows and began to hunt down the surviving resistors, and searched for the Princess, as well.

Suki

Off to the side of the training room, Suki observed Master Ti, Mistress Secura, and what other few apprentices the two had managed to gather train in the art of the Jedi. While Suki and her Warriors sometimes partcipated in these exercises, they were all but futile to learn, in all actuality. Considering none of the Kyoshi Warriors, Suki herself included, possessed a hint of.....what did Master Ti call it?

Ah, yes. Force-Sensitivity. Whatever that was. Suki knew it had something to do with bending, but it seemed a lot more complicated than just merely that.

Still, even if they were not proper students for the two Jedi to teach, Suki would admit that learning these fighting styles was quite useful. It had definitely helped refine many of the Kyoshi Warrior techniques they had already mastered, years ago on their home island.

((Not much to post with Luke, right now, so....yeah. Guess he'll wait till things pick up on Tatooine. And do not forget to post with Iroh, AI. He is Ben's roommate, after all.))

"Yeah. Sure. Tell them we're having a party. They can have cake," Sokka told the android sarcastically before falling out of his seat when he heard Toph scream. Eyes widening, he took out his blaster pistol and ran towards the compartment in the ship Toph and the occasional female passenger slept in. He wasn't going to lose Toph like he did Aang.

He scanned the room, his gaze falling on Toph and noting her sweat. He lowed his pistol and asked, "Are you okay?"

He knew Toph hated being fussed over, but he had to make sure she was alright, even if she could crush Star Destroyers with her bending.

Iroh smiled serenely as he poured himself a cup of tea. Sunrise on Tatooine was truly a sight to behold. Its two suns illuminated the desert landscape beautifully. This planet was harsh, but it had a savage beauty one couldn't help admire. That and this was where a firebender was at his strongest. Only once every hundred years could his bending match the strength he felt here.

He smiled wistfully, "Zuko would have liked it here. Especially if he was in one of his training moods."

"Huh?" She had been so caught up in her thoughts, in the memories, that she hadn't realized Sokka had come into her room. His gray-blue aura was incredibly comforting. She gladly took it in. "I. . ."

Toph hesitated. She hated worrying him, but she hated lying to him more.

"More dreams," she said.

Sokka sighed somewhere between relief and worry as he took a seat on her bed. Those dreams were happening more and more often. He hated that he couldn't be more help. Why did the Spirits make all those he loved benders but not him. He wished he could understand more about what she was going through. Gently, he took her hand into his.

"What were they about?" he asked.

She squeezed his hand. Toph only showed this side of herself with a chosen few, but to Sokka most of all. She trusted him, loved him, more than anyone.

"They're just flashes, really. It's so hard to understand them. But. . . I think. . ." She frowned. "Two people are born, and another dies and comes back. I feel like it happened a long time ago. It's so hazy. But the other flash, it. . .

Toph paled.

"There's something. . . strong. There's a lot of fear, then this burst of energy. Then there's nothing."

"Sounds like something to do with the mysterious twins," Sokka noted, squeezing her hand tighter reassuringly, "I'm sure we'll find out more when we need to."

He never believed in visions or omens. Nonetheless, even he couldn't deny the truth of there being something to it after his experiences with Aang.

"Do you... Want me to stay?" he asked hesitantly. He had slept in Toph's room a couple times, when her nightmares about Vader and losing her arm got the best of her. And she had done the same for him when he dreamed about Aang or Yue dying or Suki being tortured or killed in some unknown location. He'd never admit it, but he needed someone during those nights. He needed her.

Toph drew in a deep breath and smiled. "Only if you want to, Sokka," she said, meaning it. "I'm okay now. Really."

Lilith

Lilith sighed as she walked down the upper deck halls with the other human Stormtroopers. In the main hall, Fi, along with the other Clone Troopers, would be searching for the Princess as well. Leia would be found, like all threats to the Empire were, Lilith knew. Whether or not it was right or wrong, the universe didn't seem to care. Some things were just ... inevitable like that.

Mai

Stars flickered by passively, just like they always did. It was boring, really. Even the reality that they were all massive balls of gas or fire or whatever, failed to interest Mai. Still, thinking about how boring stars were was better then sitting alone and just letting her thoughts wander. That always just turned depressing. But then, that was usually how space was anyways. Lonely, and consistently boring.

Zahanna

Zahanna turned her seat to face the direction of Mai, who was currently staring out into space with a bored expression on her face. The Twi'lek chuckled a little.

"Let me guess, Mai; bored? Well, I can hardly blame you. These past few information seeking runs haven't been all that fun, but that intel will be very valueable once we reach Nar Shaada. Then we'll get to see some great excitement."

Dorothy

"Would you like me to get you anything, Toph?" Dorothy asked kindly.
