Calling out all Jensaarai

"Our passions require understanding
Through understanding, We gain truth
Through truth, We gain true power
Through this power, We gain peace
Through peace, We gain freedom
We follow the truth, We follow the Force."


Hello, this is Garwig Gil Ga'Mesh. Jensaarai, and that there is a new Jensaarai code that me and had created together. Him and myself are working on a possible new order on the planet . We are looking for old Jensaarai followers and those Force sensitives on this site who are interested in learning the ways of the Jensaarai. Lost Jedi, Gray Jedi, Fallen Jedi, etc, etc, are welcome to voice their interest in joining the Jensaarai and we're looking for anyone interested to join.

In this new order of the Jensaarai we are creating, we are reforming it a bit and changing some things though. This is however in the planning stages, and we're open to any discussion on such changes. You can read about the changes we're considering on this . If you need me to explain these changes on this here topic or post them here, I'm open to doing that as I do invite open discussion on doing changes to how the Jensaarai practice their ways.

Point is, we're looking to gathering the Jensaarai once more and building it into a functioning order. Have some ideas of a name for the order, so we'll discuss that too here. This topic here is for Jensaarai and potential Jensaarai to get in contact as well as discuss how we'll form this group.

So let the discussion and recruitment begin!

Re: Calling out all Jensaarai

Just putting it out there, here's some of the ideas as well as changes that me and Anven are considering to placing into the Jensaarai group.

1) New ranks

The old ranking used to be: Apprentice, Defender (which also included the brances of Ring defender and Shield Defender), and Saarai-kaar. We're wanting to, or at least considering getting rid of this old ranking system and institute one that's more similar to that of the Jedi's.

Rank 1: Tyrosaarai - Meaning "Initiate of the truth," in Sith language, this ranking is considering the equivalent of that of a Jedi Initiate or youngling. This a rank for Jensaarai followers who have yet to become a formal apprentice to an actual Jensaarai.

Rank 2: Massisaarai - Meaning "Warrior of the truth," in Sith language, though the interpretation is a rough guess. It is considered the equal of that of a Jedi apprentice or padawan, or a Jensaarai apprentice in the old rankings. Meant to be used by Jensaarai who have been taken under the wing of a master to teach them the Jensaarai ways. As an apprentice, you'll have to create a lightsaber as part of your training though you won't be allowed to create an armor until you've ascended to the next rank. Of which to reach, require you to take trials to test your understanding of the Jensaarai ways and the Force.

Rank 3: Taralsaarai - Meaning "Protector (or defender) of the truth," in the Sith language. This rank is considered the equal to that of a Jedi Knight, or a Jensaarai defender in the old rankings. Given to Jensaarai who no longer have nothing to learn from their master. Prior to officially becoming a Taralsaarai, the Jensaarai will go through a ritual similar to the Knighting ritual the Jedi do to padawans who a ascended to knighthood. During in said ritual the Jensaarai will build themselve's their own personal Jensaarai armor. Side ranking branches similar to the ones within the Jedi Knight rank, are being considered for the Taralsaarai rank and are in development. Once in this rank, you may take apprentices.

Rank 4: Saarai'ari - Meaning, "Truth lord" in the Sith language, or "Lord of truth." This rank is equal to that of a Jedi master. Given to Jensaarai who have retaken the trials, or had a apprentice who has ascended to the rank of Taralsaarai. The highest rank most Jensaarai can receive, for Jensaarai who have developed a great understanding of the Jensaarai ways and the Force.

Rank 5: Saarai-kaar - Meaning, "Keeper of the truth" in the Sith language and the only ranking of the old ranking system to be used. It is an honorific given to a Saarai'ari who is in charge of setting the Jensaarai order's agenda. It is considered the equal to that of a Jedi Grand Master.

I'll post more of the ideas and changes being considered here on this topic. If anyone is wanting to discuss anything about these ideas or is wanting to join this new order of the Jensaarai, please do post.

Re: Calling out all Jensaarai

[quote="Zed":z8r7rcvr]So I have been toying with Zed finding out he was force sensitive somehow. After reading the three pages I believe I will follow through with it. I also had considered finding a neutral force sect that would teach him and myself. So I would be interested in learning the ways of the Jensaarai. I believe Aatoans are force sensitive at least they should be.

Anyways I know very little about them other than their armor and beliefs. I understood pretty much all you talked about on those three pages though.[/quote:z8r7rcvr]

What are Aatoans? Do you have a Wookieepedia link to them or something else for me to know what they are?

Regardless though, I'd be glad to have you in the Jensaarai. I personally consider the Jensaarai a light-sided group somewhat, but because of their beliefs and practices with the Force, it does place them in close proximity to the Dark side. There really isn't a neutral area within the Force, but since the Jensaarai use a mix of techniques that come from both the Light and Dark sides of the Force through the Light side itself, it's probably the closest thing possible to something like it.

In the end, the Jensaarai group we're making is something of a Grey Jedi group in practice. I hope that's understandable.

I may wanna consider bringing my char over. But he is more light-sided. But hey, Jensaarai teachings and their Order are very interesting and could prove handy overall.

Being more light-sided aligned is very much alright with me. It won't be enforced upon for members of the Jensaarai group to learn techniques that are more famously used by Darksiders. If you want to strictly use Force techniques that orthodox Jedi or Light-sided groups would find the most appealing, it is completely fine. Besides, I would think being in close proximity to the Dark side as Jensaarai tend to be, it would dampen the ability at use of the more stronger light-sided techniques, such as Force Healing. So it helps mix things up a little in regards to the abilities of the people in the group. Of course, being still in the embrace of the Light side, it would also mean the strongest of Dark-sided techniques such as Sith magic or Force Rage would be impossible, as well as forbidden within the Jensaarai.

Also see by your profile that you're with the Jedi on Corellia. Been there for an rp sometime ago, and it was a good place with good writers. So that's a plus with me. :)

Re: Calling out all Jensaarai

This looks really interesting, and considering how dead the rest of my RP is right now, I have plenty of time to pursue this.

So- need a swordsman in your ranks?

Re: Calling out all Jensaarai

Here's other ideas we're considering for doing in the Jensaarai group we are forming.

2) New lightsaber-resistant materials to use in construction of armor.

In Star Wars canon, the Jensaarai of old tended to cover their flexible armors with spun cortosis-fibers (or cortosis-weave from what some sources say). In the new Jensaarai group we're forming, though cortosis is considered the classic material to use in constructing armor, using other lightsaber-resistant materials, such as phrik or ultrachrome is allowed. Mandalorian iron is a possibility, but rules state in JvS that you have to require it from a Mandalorian and only a Mandalorian can forge items or armor from it, and getting a Mando to do that for a non-Mando is incredibly slim to absolutely none. Natural lightsaber resistant materials, such as the hide of an Akk dog, scales from a Lava dragon, or bones from a Nighthunter is also possible, though anything from Taozin's is forbbiden in JvS.

3) NPC lists

This is not necessary, nor will it ever be enforced on any members to do so, but it is encouraged to have Force sensitive NPC's within your own character's account to help build up the numbers of followers in the Jensaarai. Not make seperate accounts, but just NPC's in the account of the character you have in the Jensaarai group. Current rules state in JvS we're allowed up to 5 NPC generals that are of mastery-Force sensitivity, and 30 NPC generals/commanders that are of apprentice-level Force sensitivity. I personally am trying to create a big number of NPC's in my account, no one has to create any NPC's if they don't want to, nor will anyone be enforced to do so as I stated earlier. I hope that is ok with people. Again, it's not necessary if any members do not wish to do so.

Re: Calling out all Jensaarai

Hey I think its about time I post here as Garwig had mentioned me in his first post I am Anven and so its nice to meet all of you who have so far showed interest in joining the Jensaarai. From what I have seen so far we have an interesting group forming here and and Zed I am sure Atoans would be force sensitive and I see no problem with you speaking basic instead of their native language so either way welcome to the Jensaarai. Same to Malystrix we are always willing to take in another swordsman and just another person for me to spar with XD. Also should either of you be in need of someone to teach you about the force I am looking for an apprentice still and so i would be willing to teach all that I can though if you are just looking to learn about something specific to the Jensaarai well me and Garwig are here to teach all that we know.

Re: Calling out all Jensaarai

[quote="Zed":3e8l22u1]Here is the wookie link to Atoans http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Atoan

The only thing I changed is my character speaks basic for simplicities sake. That is fine you will have me no matter the alignment.[/quote:3e8l22u1]

Oh! Atoans. I actually have the comics in which they appeared.

Well, I believe it would be within the ability of an Atoan to learn galactic basic. Saro of the Atoans claimed to be able to speak Basic due to a ritual that involved consuming a Stormtroopers tongue she had removed. You might be able to put that in your personal background, though learning basic is just as possible.

It's good to have you, Zed.

I've also received PM's from Korum and Katarina Winters that they're interested in joining up too. The two can feel free to contribute to the discussion here on this OOC topic whenever they wish.

Re: Calling out all Jensaarai

Well this is awesome news and so far we have the makings of a most epic order of Jensaarai going here because between me and Malystrix we have an awesome setting for teaching swordsmanship to students and then Garwig and Katrina should she join a nice setting of martial arts there. Also with mine and Garwig's knowledge of the Jensaarai to pass on we are very much set to go and I can't forget Zed as a person with more than one heart like come on how do you kill someone like that?

Re: Calling out all Jensaarai

Always enjoy having more people to RP with and its nice to meet you Kat. Anyway for those who are looking to start as soon as possible there is Garwig on Contruum and me on Tatooine. Personally I welcome anyone to come and interrupt my current RP and I will work with it. For those who wish for one of us to come find you well that could take a while at least for me. Either way I hope you enjoy the Jensaarai and again should you need anything just ask.

Well, if you're wanting to meet up with me, go to Contruum. Anven's on Tatooine for the moment, so if you want to bump into him first, that's alright too.



[size=150:2gg61478]IMPORTANT RP NOTE![/size:2gg61478]

Figured I better put this out there, but the way I'm having Garwig and Anven get in touch with people who are Jensaarai or are interested in joining the Jensaaarai, is that I'm having Garwig post information of the Jensaarai on Contruum in the backward channels of the HoloNet. Figured it would be a decent way to get the word out as secretly as possible away from any possible enemies the Jensaarai might have. If you wish, you can rp your character finding the information on the HoloNet in one of it's backward channels that the majority of Galactic civilization doesn't look at, as to say that's how you knew of the Jensaarai on Contruum, or you can do it in your own way if you wish. Whether it be because you heard it as a rumor from someone in a cantina, or a unique Force vision telling you the existence of the Jensaarai on Contruum, etc, etc.

Just meet Garwig in the forest.

Re: Calling out all Jensaarai

Figured I'd do this, but I'm wanting to get your input on this fellow Jensaarai. As we are still constructing this order, I'm wanting the Jensaarai here to contribute to the discussion of ideas that we're considering to implement into the group. In fact, if you have ideas, feel free to tell us on this here topic.

Suggestion: Jensaarai Trials

Since the Jedi have their trials to test their followers as a way to make them into proper knights, I believe the Jensaarai need something similar to the trials for apprentices to take to become proper Jensaarai.

The idea so far I've got cooking up in my brain is something called, "The Trials of Truth." In the Trials of Truth, they'd take four trials. "The Truth of Bravery," which would be the equivalent of that of the Jedi trial of courage. "The Truth of Reality," which would be similar to that of the Jedi trial of insight. "The Truth of Sacrifice," which is similar to the Jedi trial of the flesh. And "the Truth of the Self," which is equal to that of the Jedi trial of the spirit. There is no version of the Jedi trial of Skill in the Trials of Truth, as all four trials are considered to show a great deal of the Jensaarai apprentices skill in the Force and understanding of the Jensaarai ways. So basically...

"Trials of Truth"
1) Truth of Bravery
2) Truth of Reality
3) Truth of Sacrifice
4) Truth of the Self

I'm still figuring it all out, and I want feedback on whether or not if it sounds like a good idea to put this into the group for Jensaarai to practice. Or at least, practice this in future rp's. As we're still forming the group, we probably don't need to use any trials yet.

Last but not least, we need to figure out a name for our Jensaarai group. Names I got running in my head is...

New Order of the Jensaarai
Jensaarai Order of Contruum
Jensaarai of Light Ascendancy
The Ascendancy of the New Jensaarai
Jensaarai Order of Light

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I forget, what was the last Jensaarai group's name? I want to avoid copying it to make sure people can tell us apart.
