Rankings

[lordocelot]

Well the idea came to me, on how would the characters in our site stack up against eachother. So I decided it would be fun to rank them on what we know about them so far. And no i am not being Bias and if you do not like it, that is fine do not change my rankings, just reply.

1. Tied: Tiberian Coale (Sith Warlord)/ Ayin Tsade (Jedi Master)
Tiberian: The most powerful sith lord of his time or of any time for that matter. Has killed dozens of jedi masters with little to no effort. His force powers are un paralleled perhaps the best ever and with his saber handling continueing to get better, he can soon become unstoppable. Not to mention that he has changed the entire sith philisophy around and has them in a winnable war against the Republic.
Ayin: One of the youngest ever to become Jedi Master and of the youngest Jedi Masters to join the council. Considered one of the best duelist of his time or any time on that matter, defeated and killed Tiberian's master Darth Siphon. His force powers only continue to improve, has created several new force powers such as Time and Tremor and has imporved others such as speed and wind.
Why the Tie? Tiberian Coale and Ayin Tsade could be possibly the strongest and most powerful sith and jedi in their order's history. Tiberian has devastating force powers but Ayin could beat him in a duel of sabers nine times out of ten. And with the Sith-Republic War as their backdrop, we will have our chance to see these two sqaure off a few times before it is all siad and done.

2. Swil Kit Fisto (Gray Jedi Master)
It would have been a three way tie with Swil Fisto, Tiberian, and Ayin but what hurt Swil Fisto is that he has lived the life of the hermit for so long that it was justifiable to move Tiberian and Ayin in front of him. Since both been extremly active in both wars and politics in the last few years. Swil Fisto is an unique character because he is one of the rare fews, to have learned from both the Sith and the Jedi. And with such valuable knowledge, he can become an unstoppable force in the galaxy if he ever picks a side. . Not to mention that he slaughtered the entire city of Ahto, without even breaking a sweat, impressive. Hands down Swil deserves the second spot to himself. Oh yea did i mention he can clone miny versions of himself? Bc that is pretty cool

Stay tuned, still in progress, other rankings will soon follow

[Ayin Tsade]

Well, you can't mess with Tiberian and Ayin. That's just how it goes.

In the pre-story that I haven't written yet, Tiberian's old master, Siphon, played the role of the "ridiculously powerful Force user." His goal was to absorb the universe into himself as Force power and make himself "consume existence," or some such crazy talk. Ayin, being so young a Jedi and having struggled with the Force, required extra intense training even beyond his usual dedicated study and five bouts with the Sith to beat him. (Similar to if Luke crossed Palpatine while he was at the height of his powers and his body's strength, it would probably take him several tries just to learn how to fight such a foe.)

All that explanation goes to prove that Tiberian, who has pretty much surpassed Siphon in most areas already at a much younger age, is definitely top-tier. And it's well earned; his master invented Force Fire, and Tiberian perfected it. And that's just one of many impressive powers at his disposal.

Ayin meanwhile has developed into the fastest Jedi ever, and also the best saberist. He has overcome the struggles that plagued him before, such as a lack of physical endurance and a lack of grasping how to use the Force effectively. As a kid, he could hardly use Force Push, though even then he could beat his master with a lightsaber at 14. It took a lot of dedicated work to push the envelope and overcome such shortcomings, but eventually he got better, and even experimented with the Force, resulting in several awesome new powers, like Force Tremor and Wind.

Now, Ayin can crumple entire walls with a push, and all his other Force moves are more impressive. He has mastered all eleven of the official lightsaber fighting styles, and invented two more. What makes Ayin unique is that while other Jedi have learned numerous styles, most master only one, and use their best form almost exclusively. Ayin, however, trained to be fluent in all the forms, and can switch between them without hesitation. He also makes excellent use of his surroundings during a fight, from executing wall jumps, to sliding on the ground, to propelling at sharp angles off of a vertical surface that are not possible from standing flat on the ground. Although unrecognized by the Jedi Order at large, he is definitely their greatest weapon.

You've all read Ayin's first clash with Tiberian at Coruscant. That was hardly a fight, though; they were just testing out each other's abilities. The real battle begins when we have our Mindar thread. There, the gloves will come off, and it will be glorious. The greatest overall Force user against the best blade weilder not only of the current generation, but possibly of any.

THAT'S why Ayin and Tiberian are the best. Both EARNED their place, Brian and I have the storyline to explain their growth and I don't think anybody will be able to argue against the number one slot.

#2: Swil. Mini mes, GO! Being the spiritual successor to Kit Fisto (even in his name... Force copy-paste), Swil's vicious nature makes him a fiercesome opponent, and his fairly long lifespan gave him plenty of time to train and improve. A crafty, confident fighter, Swil is a threat to any opponent, even against Mr. Flamefist and our friendly neighborhood rogue Jedi. Plus, the way he slayed his master just screams awesome.

However, it is in my opinion that SR110, our superior robot friend, should be obscenely powerful as well. I don't know if he's equal to Swil, since JKrew hasn't done squat on our site yet (at least as far as fighting goes). But from what we discussed, having electricity stored in his body and being able to unleash it in large amounts at any time is dangerous. Also, he's got that staff that shoots off remote-controlled blades - the alternative to my original idea of Joe using the Force to fling blades at Republic troopers.

SR110 is the pinnacle of creation - all the amazing Imperial technology went into SR's design. One could get shivers just imagining all the weapons that are hidden on - and IN - his body. Need I guess that one of them is a flamethrower and some explosives? SR 110 sounds to me like he has advanced gadgets to fight from afar, and can use his staff to defend himself up close. Pretty vicious.

------------------------------------
Conclusion:
Top tier - Tiberian, Ayin
2nds - Swil, SR 110
------------------------------------

More to explain with the other guys, like the much younger Jacen and my brothers characters and such. And remember, being "less powerful" than somebody doesn't really mean anything. If everybody were "the best," all we'd do the whole time is fight. Which would be fun but would totally destroy any shred of a storyline. And plus, people can always improve as the story progresses. This is a "beginning of story" ranking.

[Ayin Tsade]

#3: Li-an Jinn. I regret that he isn't still here to role play with us; I sent another email, hopefully he'll get it. But if not, I'll take command of his awesome character.

Li is a peaceful soul, with a pleasant personality and deep wisdom that crosses the chasm in the Jedi Order between Ayin and the Purists. Li does not have the speed of Ayin, but his knowledge of the Force is vast, and his entire spirit beats as one with his surroundings. Even if he did not dedicate himself to the art of battle as much as Ayin, he is a remarkable teacher who can guide younglings in their first exercises, or teach full-fledged Jedi Masters new truths in the Force.

It would be foolish to discredit his fighting prowess and say he is nothing more than a sage. Taught by Mace Windu and having survived Vader's purges, and even numerous bouts with Vader himself, Li poured himself into Force study and the mastery of the lightsaber. The results are impressive; while he did not master every saber form, he has offensive and defensive forms under his belt, and his personality fits the mold of the lightsaber form to increase its power. Soresu becomes his peaceful nature; Qui Gon's Ataru fits his boldness; Mace's Vaapad gives him a deadly offensive edge.

In the end, Li is a powerful Jedi with nearly 300 years of training under his belt. His Force power must be impressive to extend his lifespan so much (although some of it is a result of relativistic lightspeed space travel, no doubt).

It's a good thing Ayin has one Jedi to lean on for support; there aren't many others who can match the strength and friendliness of character as Li.

That reminds me, should npc chars be included in this ranking? Like Raxyce and Akcel [who's now deceased, but all the same]? How about the Coruscant Jedi Council Leader Lorac Fiien? Haven't been including them because they aren't quite as important, but should I? Brian will probably insert Vala and Argon in there somewhere. I bet you're all wondering how low on the chain Bajakian is. XP
