A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.
In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.
Re: [Canon] Anakin Skywalker || Star Wars || Reserved || 5 of 5
» Electricity – his mechanical arm can be shorted out if too much electricity is applied to it or it's hit with an EMP. Not to mention that even with his Force enhancements, there is a thing as too much electricity for his body to take, he has been rendered unconscious by too much electricity before.
» He is still human, a lightsaber to the chest will be just as fatal to him as it would be to the next guy. He did lose his arm in a lightsaber duel, after all.
» Relying on the Force to supplement bodily needs – sleep, rest, eating, healing – will exact a high price from him later (longer healing Force-trances, for example).
» He has terrible penmanship - he's from a universe where most everything is done via data-pads. He hardly thinks it's worth his while to learn beautiful handwriting.
Mental:
» He leaps first, and thinks later (you know, later, during the fall on the way down).
» The proscribed forms of Meditation of the Jedi Order of his time do NOT work for him – they leave him feeling cold and empty and alone (not calm, warm, and comforted like all the Jedi instructors tell him it should feel like).
» He’s terrible at expressing himself well. (Can you blame him, the Jedi of his time weren’t big on emotional health and well-being.) This makes him quite bad at poetry. Such as when he's trying to flirt with Padmé (luckily for him she found it charming).
» He gives no fucks about anything artistic (unless it’s the design of a spaceship or a droid) – but performance arts, fine arts, even fashion, he just doesn’t care about those.
» He’s terrible with diplomacy – he has little to no patience for injustice or stupidity and even less for people in authority who are abusing the rights of the people they are meant to serve.
» He is easily distracted by trying to do all the things – he tends to think he’s the only one that can get the job done right, so he tries to do all the jobs, all at once.
» He doesn’t care about history, politics, or literature – he secretly feels having to study any of those subjects is torture. Palpatine chided him a few times for his lack of interest or aptitude with politics
» Anakin struggles with accepting abstract ideals, and he has a hard time with abstract concepts in general. At one point Obi-Wan described it as thus: Abstractions like peace don’t mean much to him. He’s loyal to people, not principles. He believes that helping others achieves peace and justice, whereas the Jedi Order of his time believed creating Peace and Balance helped others. In the end, he will choose helping people over promoting peace every time.
» He struggles with losing his lightsabers or keeping it in one piece. He's made at least 3, however, he doesn't keep count.
Emotional:
» His emotional control is relatively non-existent. He tries, and tries, and tries – but he’s always been blessed with an overabundance of emotions. He always feels everything intensely, and can’t seem to excise his emotions like the Jedi of his time are taught to do. The most glaring example is what he did to the Tusken Raiders who kidnapped and then tortured his mother for a month - he killed them all.
» He hates just as much as he loves.
» He can be fiercely jealous – especially of Padmé’s past love interests. (He did beat the living shit out of Clovis when he caught the man forcing a kiss on Padmé.)
» He is very impatient – he wants to do things now, not later or at a more moderate pace.
» He has a difficult time accepting the death (or prospective death) of those he cares about. The fear of them dying is rather crippling for him. When his mother died, he lost control and used the Dark Side to kill the tribe of Tusken Raiders who had tortured her to death.
» He has crippling trust issues and struggles with who to trust.
» When he feels betrayed, he does not forgive easily (if at all). When the Council expelled Ahsoka he didn't forgive them, it only drove him further from trusting them. (And in a way, this included Obi-Wan as well, because he was on the Council. Anakin trusts Obi-Wan to have his back on the battlefield, but doesn't trust Obi-Wan to side with him against the Council, even when the Council is abjectly wrong.)
» He knows using the Dark Side is wrong, and he's constantly fighting against the urge to use it. But it's a never ceasing temptation.
» Ever since the Council first rejected him, telling him his emotions made him dangerous, he has worried this was true. It has bred a certain kind of self-doubt in him that he works hard to compensate for.

ACCEPTED (with a note)
After you have done this, post to the Contacts page, Tag Request page, the Taken Characters page and, if you know where your character will be living, the Residences page! Familiarise yourself with the Rules and FAQ and introduce yourself at
If you have a plurk account, please add the rubycitymods plurk to be included in future updates, information and feedback. We are on plurk at
Mod Note: The Force doesn't exist in the same context while in Ruby City as it does in the Star Wars universe, but Anakin is free to notice the difference and being to adapt to the natural energy in things for his abilities.
Re: ACCEPTED (with a note)
Can you clarify your mod note for me, I think a word or two were accidentally left out, maybe?
Also, how will this change affect my character's specific Force talents (the one specific to him and not to other FOrce-Users) such as his technomancy? I ask because his emotional stability is directly dependent on this specific Talent of his and knowing how this is affected with help me determine how I play him.
Thanks
Re: ACCEPTED (with a note)
To address your second concern, Anakin would be able to use his talents as he normally does--eventually. This includes the technomancy. However, he will need to adapt to the different kind of natural energy in Ruby City (which isn't "the Force") before he's able to use his skills as he did at home. How long it takes him, and how he reacts, is completely up to you!
Crap! wrong journal! I'll try again
So, just so I have the right understanding - this power difference is actually effectively the same (in practice) but Anakin could tell the difference (if I wanted him to)?
