Star Wars: The Chosen One (An Anakin Skywalker Quest)

Reader mode
The voices in your head screamed at you that you were right for leaving him alive. And another set of voices screamed in anguish telling you to murder him at the first opportunity.

@Arthellion LOL :rofl:
 
I would like to write in.
[] [Reaction] Unregretful. You did not regret leaving him alive. You know that he cannot die before he shares what he knows about the Sith, and his master, Darth Sidious.
 
[] [Reaction] Satisfied. Killing him would have gained you nothing, and would not have brought your family back. Keeping him alive would allow him to truly pay for his crimes, in more ways than one.
[] [Story] Seek out others your age? (Meet Asajj Ventress)
I like it
 
We still have the Avenge ambition..let's remember that.

We will get permanent penalties for failing a long term ambition like it.

So guys...it seems that the vote will come down to whether we want to set sail on the ship with Ventress or if we want to see what we can learn from a Darksider on the level of Sidious.

Both have benefits even if we disregard Ventress' potential as a force sensitive waifu, just as a future ally she would be incredibly useful to have a possitive relationship with, no matter how tenuous.

As for Mother Talzin, the benefits are pretty apparent in that we might get some insight into the Dark Side or some advice that could help us down the road.

Thoughts?

Essentially the same as Ian's writevin

It's not the same.
"Killing him would have gained you nothing, and would not have brought your family back. Keeping him alive would allow him to truly pay for his crimes, in more ways than one."
Anakin let him live in my option solely for pragmatic reasons, and still wants to kill Maul once his usefulness is at an end. In Ian's option he didn't kill him in order to further punish him and also because it would not bring his family back.

I would be writing themthe same though. Anakin let him live to further the purpose of getting information out of him.

Since Anakin is lawful dark both would be written as a pragmatic decision
 
[] [Reaction] Confused: You can't decide. What you did was right and wrong in the same time.

[] [Reaction] Vengeful: You are happy that he survived. Yes, It was foolish to keep him alive but now you can hope to deny him a painless death and make him suffer like your mother did.

[] [Reaction] Angry: You did a right thing that a Jedi should do! Why the end result is so horrible?


@Arthellion
How about those?

Reaction?
[] [Reaction] Remorse. You should have killed the Zabrak when you had the chance.
[] [Reaction] Confident. You were confident in your decision. You had made the right choice to honor the law.

For Reaction I am leaning towards these two this one
[] [Reaction] Remorse. You should have killed the Zabrak when you had the chance.
[] [Reaction] Satisfied. Killing him would have gained you nothing, and would not have brought your family back. Keeping him alive would allow him to truly pay for his crimes, in more ways than one.

Definitely feel like Confident isn't a good choice here. Because we kept him alive we have this stupid force bond and also he is an unrepentant murderer. I feel it would be dishonest to say that we are confident in our choice of letting him live when we are exactly the opposite of confident. Part of me honestly thinks it would have been better if we hand killed him when we had the chance so Remorse is one option I am considering.

The Satisfied write-in isn't bad either. Basically saying that if we had killed him we wouldn't be able to get any more information from him. That we kept him alive to get what we could out of him and that he can then either rot in a jail cell or we can kill him and be done with him then. Definitely leaning towards the Satisified write-in though since that is the one that basically says that we only let him live to get information out of him and after that we want him dead.

For story I am learning towards either of these two:

[] [Story] Speak with Mother Talzin
[] [Story] Seek out others your age? (Meet Asajj Ventress)[/QUOTE]

Definitely don't want to visit Maul. Leaning towards meeting Ventress, she has a lot of talent, or talking to Mother Talzin to maybe learn more about the ritual and maybe how she and Dooku know one another. I do think that since we are in a relatively non-aggressive Dark Sider center of learning that it would be a waste not to spend time with either Ventress who is likely learning their ways or Talzin who runs the place.

That being said while Talzin is important she is also old and more set in her ways. Ventress is someone closer to our age so we can connect with her easier. So I'm leaning more heavily towards Ventress right now because we can build a quicker rapport with her and influence her more.

It's just that from the "would gain you nothing and not bring your family back", it is easy to assume that Anakin thinks killing him now or later will also gain him nothing because it doesn't bring his family back, but in my mind the vengeance is its own reward.
I still want to kill him eventually so I can't vote for that option and would rather go for remorseful.

I don't know who to meet.

I wonder how Anakin will make his lightsaber crystal in the future. The Jedi way, or the Sith way? I can see the Sith philosophy about taking control of your destiny appealing to him far more.

Maybe we can ask the holocron about why Jedi and Sith both use lightsabers.

We should make Anakin more calculating than impulsive. It's the better option for both dark side and light.

[] [Story] Seek out others your age? (Meet Asajj Ventress)

Yay! One of my favorite characters. :)

Speaking with Mother Talzin would also be helpful, but we might be able to befriend Asajj early and have her join the Separatists eventually.

@Arthellion Did we get 100 XP for visiting a new planet?
 
Write in: @Arthellion this work alright?

[] [Reaction] Adamant. Though it was your intention for Maul to live to pass on what information he had, he would die. Whether through the means of the court and the laws of the Jedi aimed at dealing with the Sith, or at your hands, the Zabrak would perish in the end. The memory of your parents' torturous deaths at his hands demanded it. You would have justice.

Maybe a bit Dark, but I think it follows the Avenge Ambition, keeps Anakin in the slightly high Lawful range where his actions seem to gravitate, and I think we have reached an unspoken consensus (FINALLY) that going Dark isn't a bad thing at this point in time as long as we control our Murder-Boner.

You did.
 
Mhm, Adamant feels like right mix of calculating and passionate.

Calculating enough to let him live for a while, yet still yearning for justice.

I'm fine with either Vengeful or Adamant and will vote for one of those.
I sort of want to visit Maul just to see what would happen. Is he still in a coma?
I prefer visiting Talzin to other kids that can teach us far less than the adults.
 
Reaction
[] [Reaction] Remorse. You should have killed the Zabrak when you had the chance.

Story
[] [Story] Keep to yourself
 
"As the war progressed, Dooku's own master, Darth Sidious, became increasingly wary of Ventress's growing strength in the Force and ultimately ordered the Confederate leader to eliminate his apprentice in a show of loyalty."

Taken from Wookieepedia, just something to note before we decide what to do. She will be VERY strong one day if fostered correctly.

We need to convince Asajj to keep her hair.

I think that a lot of force sensitiv have this potential if fostered correctly .

But in all ways, a new force sensitiv friend/allies is good to take.
 
I am going to vote for this one so hard

[] [Reaction] Vengeful: You are happy that he survived. Yes, It was foolish to keep him alive but now you can hope to deny him a painless death and make him suffer like your mother did.

And I will vote to go for Ventress, we already have the cool ship we have to plant the seed so we start soon recruiting or Badass crew and Ventress is in one of the top spots my personal mind list.
 
For those of you considering
[] [Reaction] Remorse. You should have killed the Zabrak when you had the chance.

Why would you go with the mopey, woe is me, I regret my choice, when you can choose something more productive like this one?

[] [Reaction] Adamant. Though it was your intention for Maul to live to pass on what information he had, he would die. Whether through the means of the court and the laws of the Jedi aimed at dealing with the Sith, or at your hands, the Zabrak would perish in the end. The memory of your parents' torturous deaths at his hands demanded it. You would have justice.

OR go to a more calculative place?

[] [Reaction] Satisfied. Killing him would have gained you nothing, and would not have brought your family back. Keeping him alive would allow him to truly pay for his crimes, in more ways than one.

OR even go with taking advantage of your choice to let him live to make him suffer?

[] [Reaction] Vengeful: You are happy that he survived. Yes, It was foolish to keep him alive but now you can hope to deny him a painless death and make him suffer like your mother did.
