Description
So, I made this quick concepts for Oathinblood [link] for some kind of text RPG in this sort of forum of his.... I think.The game is about the world's life, plants and animal going crazy... killer-prehistoric-mutant sort of crazy on humans, in a mysterious way I won't spoil you... but that I've almost made it up myself too.
But here is the people that started it all.
[link]
The animals I designed for the first stages are:
-Dogs... like large.. slightly reptilian dogs... that kill people.
-Rats. Larger and murderous too.
-Bat. Murderous.
-Cat. Venomous ninja, dog sized murderous.
-Squirrel... Not that murderous.
-Hedhog ... like a short fat dog, but with spikes.
-Sparrow... I think this one should be the pidgeon... ok, there is a bird that is like a scavenger dodo.
-Seagull. Amphibian... clawed, evil bird.
-Badger. This thing is the size of a grizzly bear and yes, its murderous. Big time.
-Racoon. Bipedal dinosauresque mammals ... that kill people too.
-Crow. Its black.
- Pidgeon?... Again I think I crossed the concept with the sparrow-thing.
-Cockroach. Much like a cat, but I'll bite your fingers off. I mean, just like cats.
-Snapping turtle. Large as a cow. It feeds on cows... and people.
-Alligator. A more terrestrial version like some primitive crocodiles, able to hunt down its prey in land as well.
-Bear. A bear evolved into some kind of mammalian tyrannosaurus rex, about the same size. 9000 kg of murderous.

These are awesome. I'm loving the concepts - urban fauna gone primordial and murderous.
Yep, I'm working in conjunction with IRIRIV on this role-playing game setting that slurred speculative biology together with survival-horror, and it should be an interesting project.
So thank you immensely IRIRIV. At first I was a little hesitant at the bipedal mammals, but then I pictured a pack of midget-height raccoons after me, and I freaked out, so they are actually really creepy. The grizzly bear is a beast too, and poisonous cats is something I've always thought would be cool.

very interesting. I took a look at the back story, it kinda reminds me of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and also reminded me of the line from the tv show "humanity in a world gone mad."

If there are dark jedis? can there be light siths? I wan't to be a light sith, like... using passion for good...

There really can't be a light Sith. In order to be a Sith you have to follow the Sith code which is all about power and domination and they basically view being good as a weakness or possibly as something to exploit as a means of gaining more power. The term dark jedi isn't even entirely correct. A more correct term would be dark force user but dark jedi just has a better ring to it.

But... maybe that is actually the whole meaning of bringing balance to the force, maybe the force has been in darkness 'cause half of it has been based on that. Maybe it's just the sith culture, code or institution that uses the dark side in the wrong way. What kind of balance it is if half of it is not being used? the jedis do not accept love, since its an emotion, a passion, can there be balance like that? If the force is what links life and the world how it is possible to be a "bad" side to that?
"There is no emotion, there is peace." Maybe they're not emotions, they are connections.
"There is no ignorance, there is knowledge" Maybe thats not ignorance, is humilty.
"There is no passion, there is serenity." Maybe thats no passion, in compromise.
"There is no death, there is only the Force" And a deeper change.

Actually when they said bring balance to the force, what they were referring to is how after the last Jedi - Sith war (1000th years before episode 1) there was a flux in the force which weakened peoples connection to it and thereby weakening the Jedi. So when they talked about bringing balance to the force, they meant reversing this effect. The force itself is inherently neutral, there really is no light side or dark side of it, it is just persevered as light or dark by those who use it. Also, the jedi do not reject love for some arbitrary reason. They do it because love creates strong feelings which can cloud your judgment and potentially lead to the dark side. In fact, later during the post imperial days during the Jedi reformation, Jedi were allowed to love and even get married. Luke Skywalker himself, the head of the new Jedi order, got married and had a kid.

>_> ... I still want to be a light sith.

You can try and come up with a way for that to work but its kinda like trying to be an orthodox jewish catholic, the two don't mix. Now, if you want to skirt the line between light side and dark side, my star wars universe has something you might like. My universe has what are called Jedi Rogues, these are Jedi who have left the order and while they still try and follow the jedi code they aren't afraid to try elements of the dark side (which may include trying to combine the Jedi and Sith codes).

I still don't get what do you say might happen if I use the force powers related to passion for example, to help people, will I explode or what?

No. Passion is merely discouraged by jedi because it can cloud judgment or cause one to act in a rash manner. This especially becomes a problem when the force is involved because of the power it gives its wielders. There is a story that Masters tell their Padawans which explains this. Twin brother were both very gifted with the force and both became jedi. One brother fell in love with a beautiful woman which caused the other brother to become jealous. To get back at his brother, the one twin tricked the other brother's love into kissing him, convincing her that he was his brother. The other brother saw this and became overcome by rage and feelings of betrayal so he attacked his brother. The two fought with such passion that the force energy they put out became too much and overwhelmed the two, killing them, and the woman, and all around them.

But the presence of passion there wasn't the problem in that case, it was the lack of control over it. If the twins would have been trainded under this new force doctrine of mine (awesome, I invented a force doctrine)they should have been though to passionately love their brother, and nothing would have ever happended, see? again the jedi are hiding half of the story that is inherently there.
Ok, no one doubts that the way of the jedi is much more clear and stable, but if someones judment would be really solid, he could fear only the fear in others, feel anger only for injustice, hate only the cruel and suffer for those who suffer.
What do you think?

I agree that the Jedi during their prime took the whole no passion thing a little bit too far, hell look at Anakin, if they just let him love Padme maybe he wouldn't have become darth vader. What I've been arguing is not the absolute jedi doctrine and beliefs but rather what they've practiced through most of their history. And actually, during the new jedi era, the jedi did allow members of the order to feel passion, more specifically they didn't encourage it while not discouraging it. So a way you can look at it is; old era jedi believed in subduing and denying passion, new ear jedi believed in experiencing passion, and sith believed in giving into passion without restraint. And as a side note, the jedi of my universe do believe in allowing passion as long as it kept in check, but if a jedi does fall in love or loses a loved one, they are "black listed" and put on low level, low risk missions such as diplomatic or minor peace keeping missions.
