KOTOR crossover

[The Eromancer]

switching the subject.... (probably won't work and everyone will ignore this)

I know that people see the idea of a S.I. for KotOR is absurd, but really id be FUN to write. Think of how much you could truly FUCK with everything, all the while keeping to the game... or not, your choice really.

Personally, I would of loved to see a fic where someone got thrown into the games and had to live out the rest of their days their. At first thinking it was a blessing, but then really coming to understand the true horror of war and what it really means to kill, never mind trying to survive it themselves and having to deal with every day life.

For instance, if said person was thrust onto the world of Taris, not only would he have to deal with the blatant disreguard for their lives from the general populace, the swoop gangs on the lower levels and the occupying sith. but they'd quickly realize that without money they aren't going to LIVE for very long.

Oh and to top it all off, it seems that since said person if from another galaxy, hell another universe, his can't bloody well use the force, out of the question, doesn't have a single Mediclorian (sp?) in his blood, the force is dead to him. Just like the Yuzong Vong (sp?) and with the same benefits as well because of this.

No snazzy force powers for said person.

I just think its an angle no one has explored before and you guys might like to try.

I admit to having an odd crossover idea that's been stuck in my head for a while. It's actually a two parter... The second part was actually the first idea that came to me, while the first part was inspired by the fancomic "Memories" by Aimo.

Prequel: KOTOR/R1/2
Starts with Ranma losing to Herb badly, and believed buried beneath the rubble of Horaizan. In reality, he was hurled to the far side of the mountain and left for dead, curse still locked. Cue a group of Mandalorian slavers on a raid beyond the outer rim... When Ranma awakens, he's actually being rescued by a squad of Jedi Knights, led by Revan and Malak, who intercepted the slaveship on it's return toward republic space.

Ranma shows a great deal of potential under the tutelage of his master, Atris, but even though the council grudgingly allows him to be trained, his skills in the Force are unsteady at best. But when his saviors lead the call to stave off the Mandalorians, Ranma is unable to resist, unable to betray his code and leave people to die at the Mandalorians' hands, and unable to betray his honor and not assist the two who saved him from the very enemy who almost enslaved him.

Main story: KOTOR/R1/2/Tenchi (AU)
Jurai was one of the more profitable and beautiful worlds in the Republic, but it was not enough for it's crown prince, Yosho Masaki. When he learned of his potential in the Force at a young age, he defied his family's wishes and left for Coruscant to train. Several years after he attained the rank of Master, he returned to Jurai to visit, only to find a former apprentice of him assaulting his home. He fled Jurai in pursut of his fallen student and chased her down to a world on the outer rim, eventually defeating but not killing her. The Sith fled, and with what little life she had left within her, dragged herself to her concealed ship and a medical stasis pod within.

With his failure in respect to his apprentice thrown in his face, Yosho retired, and raised a family. His daughter had some potential in the force, but died giving birth to his grandson. Eventually, Yosho would train his grandson in the ways of the Jedi and things went well... until Tenchi ends up discovering an abadoned starship, and its passenger.

Tenchi is able to defeat the passenger, the Sith Apprentice Ryouko, but unable and unwilling to slay her, begins to work toward her redemption. And now an aged Jedi Master, a young apprentice, a fallen warrior seeking redemption, and an Exile begin a mission to try to rebuild the Jedi Order and protect it from the Sith Lord who corrupted Yosho's apprentice...

So, Ranma effectively becomes the Exile, in your main story?

Yes, in this fic, Ranma is the Exile.

 

[The Eromancer]

And locked as a girl, don't forget that now. That's the worst part, why lock him at all? Why not do something different and CURE him?

 

[David Alan Abramczyk]

Because, sadly, no one on ffn would accept a Cured Ranma.

A Locked Ranma, on the other hand, they accept with nary a murmur.

 

[SotF]

Perhaps a setup where Ranma is trying to find a way to unlock and cure his curse in the process and only worked with the Jedi because someone spoke of a possibility of one rumored in the archives (Perhaps among the records that never got off the station or Ossus)

Toss him into a spatial anomaly/ get him stuck in a massive force crystal where he hibernates or some variation thereof.

Or because Revan uses spaceships to get around the galaxy, the hyperdrive dies and then spends X time at sublight speeds pointed at the nearest inhabited planet.

It is canonical that Starwars hyperdrives have a massive risk of burning out if you get too close to a gravity well (uncharted star, blackhole, plothole, etc). And it is also canonical if you accelerate to high fractions of the speed of light that time runs slower untill you deccelerate.

There is already at least one character in the Star Wars Universe that is 5K+ due to faulty hyperdrive shielding that screwed up a routine trip on him

Yup. It is suprising the number of people just paint an intersteller empire as just a small town but larger :huh!:

Personally I believe Anakin Skywalker did bring balance to the force.

He annihilated the old corrupted Jedi order (The result of the backlash against the direction Revan went) and killed off the last of the Sith. All that was left was a galaxy unwilling to accept the Jedi of old and a new Jedi Order who didnt know How It Was Done who actually questioned the foundations that the (old) Jedi Code was built on.

Always remember that a lot of the travel times are in weeks or even months if the trip isn't between well traveled worlds. At the same time the Holonet works as an internet of sorts, though from the Clone Wars until the New Republic the Holonet was exceedingly restricted.

 

[toraneko]

Don't forget that hyperdrives have, for a VERY long time, had safeguards built in that drop the ship into realspace as soon as a gravity well gets close enough. That's how Inderdiction fields work - they generate a heavy mass shadow that affects hyperspace just the same as any gravity well, and any hyperspace-traveling ships within the field's area are forced to drop out to realspace and into the Interdictor's trap.

It'd have to be a REALLY ancient hyperdrive for that idea to work, and it seems most likely that the safeguarded hyperdrive predates all known recorded history, so the chances that such a thing still exists are pretty much nil.

Now, getting lost in hyperspace while in stasis, on the other hand... remember the Katana Fleet?

 

[Mighty Bob]

Wasn't the Katana fleet lost cause some crew memeber had a virus that drove him nuts and he used the slave circuits to send the whole fleet off on a random vector?

 

[SotF]

Yep, that's basically what happened. The slave circuits let someone who was hallucinating to send the entire state of the art fleet into hyperspace without known course. Without being on a known system or close enough to actually plot a course you are pretty damn well screwed.

 

[zzxxphaser]

In the EU books its found out that there is no virus at all. It a sentient bug that can use the force to hide. so it cannot be cured and they were sucking the life force out of people. The katana fleet jumped because everyone knew there was no cure and didnt want then (the bugs) to spread.

Either you're mixing up the Katana Fleet's backstory and the plot from Planet of Twilight or that may well be the second worst attempted retcon the EU's ever vomited forth.

Agreed, what the hell was wrong with just leaving it a highly contagious disease that drove people bat-shit crazy, with one of said individuals having access to the slave circuits?

Eu has some fun stuff in it, and I love Zhan's works...but for the most part I'd be happy to just pretend it isn't there cause it has some decidedly retarded shit going on.


On another note; happy this was bumped up some, interesting ideas tossed about in this thread, was any progress made on the story with Revan somehow or other finding himself (and possibly some of his companions along for the ride???) plopped into the middle of the Clone Wars or thereabouts?

 

[SotF]

I'd started and then my copy of KotOR got screwed up on me. The non-image lettering became gibberish.

 

[David Alan Abramczyk]

That sucks.

Did you try re-installing it?
