Against all odds, the Rebellion has managed to succeed.
The Empire has suffered its greatest loss yet. Darth Sidious - the Emperor - is dead, as is Darth Vader. Without a leader, the Empire is in turmoil. A large power gap sweeps over the galaxy, and many rush to attempt to fill the void.
Leading the New Republic is Leia Organa, daughter of the former senator Bail Organa, attempts to fill the gap with a democracy based on the old Republic, similarly named as to convey the same ideology.
Meanwhile, Gallius Rax is attempting to lead the Empire in the same way as the Emperor would have, appointed by Palpatine in his will.
And unseen behind it all, while the war comes to an end, a new power attempts to take center stage.
What of you, young one? Are you a survivor of the war, already in the middle of the conflict? Are you one with a faction separated from the tale of the Skywalkers that shall be instrumental in the saga to come? Or is your legend just beginning now?
Prepare yourself, young one... for this story shall place you in between two Star Wars.
So yeah. That's the basic premise for the RP. It takes place not too long after the end of Episode 6, but the war is hardly done yet. The main idea is that the RP will be all about factions and ideologies, but I understand if you're just there for the Star Wars. And yes, the heroes of the original trilogy will most likely be having an appearance. I just mentioned that factions are important in this, so I'll list the ones I have so far off.
Original characters are what we're using, for the most part. If you'd like to create another faction, ask me about it and explain it thoroughly. I'll create a character sheet for you all to make characters with, and create my own later. Please fill it all out.
Some rules as well.
@DeprivedSpartan @Jagson @GreninjaTrainer013 @DopeLeafeon470 @Mewtwofan259 would you guys be in?

The New Republic: Formerly known as the Resistance or Rebel Alliance, the New Republic is led by figures such as Mon Mothma, Admiral Ackbar and Leia Organa in their mission to restore democracy and peace to the galaxy. After their massive victory, the faction has grown incredibly, with over half of the star system now allied to their cause.
The Galactic Empire: The classic Empire... or what's left of it, anyways. Despite Rax's best efforts, the Empire is falling apart at the seams. Many of the old members are deserting, and Stormtroopers are now canon fodder compared to the elite troops their enemies are gaining.
The Legion Lost: An independent and secret faction allied with the New Republic unofficially, the Legion Lost is led by three Jedi - Kit Fisto, John Ka'lar and Margot Venei - as well as General Jack, a clone trooper. The Legion Lost is made up of mostly clone troopers, as the Legion was previously the 437th Legion of the Republic's Grand Army. These clones are all specialized and powerful warriors in their own right, each with the power to think independently. The Jedi have also taken in ten young souls to be trained as Jedi, to potentially start a new Jedi Order.
The First Order: The First Order in its earliest stages, it is at the moment merely an idea that many former Empire loyalists have come up with.
The Bounty Hunter's Union: A union of bounty hunters united in getting a job, getting paid and getting the job done. Despite what it seems like at first glance, the Union is actually a very honorable organization... who doesn't tolerate double-crossing.

0) The obvious one - follow the regular Pokecharms rules.
1) This RP has a quality assurance check, which means that if you lack a certain degree of RPing skill you can and will be denied. Good RPers is what I'm looking for here. If you get rejected, don't be discouraged - just work on improving your skills.
2) This RP will be a mostly original story, and therefore new elements exclusive to it are allowed. Just don't contradict Star Wars canon.
3) Make sure to work with the other RPers here - we're writing a story, so try to look at things from a narrative standpoint.
4) Make sure to have fun, and may the force be with you!
