Another start, another life (Anakin Quest) Reboot

Voting is open
Societies having troubles with robots becoming sapient is a stapple of science-fiction and despite appeareances SW galaxy is not a nice place. Most people will think machines exist to be tools and nothing else, especially those who are unable to speak for themselves. Add to that most Jedi and Sith did not sense Droids in the Force and you have a perfect rationale against "souless intelligence".

The guide is clear on this point . Some, not all or even most.

Also the "other droid rebellions?" The Guide to Droids mention three incidents: The Great Rebellion led by HK-01. The taking over of an entire sector by GO-TO machines and Archa Sabis attempted coup. The third is where viruses get mentioned.
I never said Star Wars is a nice place I said that instead of leaving a real and understandable reason why anti-droid sentiment exist you cheapen it to people are just a bunch of bigots that don't understand that droids are no threat at all. It is insulting and condescending.

The HK rebellion was literally him rewriting the programing of every droid it came in contact with if you don't call that a virus I don't know what to tell you anymore. The Gordian Reach was a blood-soaked massacre and coup that needed to be put down by heavy military force. The cyborg's attempt if it hadn't been stopped would have killed countless people simply for being organics. You are also ignoring the droid uprising of Bakura in 97BBY that killed 40% of the population also caused by a glitch and virus. You also have 12-4C-41's Droid revolt that wanted to conquer the galaxy and was stopped. Plus nearly every time droids have been used as the main fighting force of a military it has always led to mass death and an increase in anti-droid sentiment because of the death they bring. It is why the CIS was so easily portrayed as evil for using battle droids.
 
Character Sheet
Interestingly enough you have chosen two Aspects in tension which means an Anakin which both adheres to Jedi Philosophy and to his homeworld's belief systems. That promises to be interesting indeed.


Anakin Skywalker
Aspects
Former Slave:
You grew up on Tatooine, nourished by the three suns under the yoke of Watoo. A talent with mechanics you learned all he had to teach you which was mostly practical knowledge. In the Slave Quarters of Mos Espa you learned three tongue spoken across the stars: Basic, Rhyl and Hutttese, as well as Amatakka the tongue of the mother, the secret and sacred language of the slaves. Yet this upbrigning had more flaws than merits. While you were learning the skills of your trade you weren't taught in many subjects younglings at the Temple find basic. You have also a slight problem with authority as direct orders in a certain tone remind you of Watoo and cause you to lash in insolence. This Aspect will be used to compel you in situation where your lack of theoretical knowledge, or background is a disadvantage. You can invoke it to benefit from your surpernatural mechanic skill and your familiarity with the Outer Rim. It can also be used to recognize members of the Tatooine diaspora (and compel you to care for them)

Prodigal Podracer:
Your skill with the Force expresses itself in a talent for flying and you proved your worth both in the Boonta's Eve and in the Battle of Naboo. When you are in space you precognitive skills are increased and few can duel you in the air. You are sure you could hit a two-meters exhaust port without breaking much of a sweat. Yet your chance has made you cocky and fearless. Obeying orders in the air is a shore, especially when you consider nearly everyone less skilled than you. This Aspect will be used to compel you to acts of daring in space and vehicles in what will be known as the Anakin driving style. You can invoke it for your own fearless acts of piloting

Padawan of Mace Windu:
The only Jedi as famous in the Order as Yoda, Mace Windu is the embodiment of the Jedi Knight. He is recognized by the Republic as a great warrior and by the Jedi by one of the rare persons able to develop a whole form of lightsaber combat. It brings many expectations for all of Mace's students grew to be legendary fighters of their own. Depa Billaba who stands in the Council will help you as she would help a younger brother and train you if your master would prove unavailable. Mace's teaching style is physically exhausting as he is a firm believer in moving meditation and physical conditioning yet he also teaches skills rarely seen in the Order. He demands the best from you but his are not the harsh words of Dooku or the Dark Woman. More than the saber, he teaches a code where the mighty must defend the weak and the brave give courage to the fearful. This Aspect will be used to compel you into doing Mace's will and obey his orders. Yet it can be invoked to recognize fighting styles, even exotic ones, provide bonuses to physical actions due to your intense training, or even access information as Padawan of a Council Member. It can also be invoked to retroactively having been warned by your master of a Shatterpoint in the situation.

True Believer:
You really believe the Jedi Code. Yes it's strange but you found peace in the teachings of the Jedi, even the reliefs given to you by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. There is no passion, there is serenity, there is no chaos, there is harmony, there is no passion, there is peace. There is no death, there is the Force. You are not sure you understand all the ramifications of the words but you believe them. When you meditate you seem to connect with the universe, touching a light who fills you with joy. There is pain, there is darkness but you know in the end things will work out. This Aspect will be used to compel you into acting to the Jedi Code. You can invoke it to resist temptation by evil or increase your status among the Jedi.

Child of the Mother:
You are Anakin Ekkreth of Tatooine, you were a slave and even if you are free, you remain a child of the three suns. You know of your destiny. Your mother told you as she walked into the desert sent by her master Gardulla, she heard the voice of Ar-Amu in the storm asking if she accepted to bear the storm and the reckoning of the masters. She accepted and when she returned to her master's side she was pregnant without having known a man. You are fully intent of realizing your destiny and take your place among the prophets of your people. You have several ideas to do that, going from the impractical and certainly not allowed by the Jedi to the devious. For the moment you continue in your ambition of creating a scanner to see where the transmitters bombs are hidden in their flesh. To create something that can be efficient, easily hidden and crafted by slaves is difficult but you will manage, there is no other options. This Aspect will be used to compel you to turn your mind into Tatooine and the plight of slaves. You can invoke when doing things dedicated to the end of slavery or links with the Tatooine diaspora.

Skills
Mechanics (+4): The guy built a protocol droid from scratch after all
Piloting (+3): Luck is pretty good and practice will make it perfect
Athletics (+3): Pretty dextrous
Notice (+2): Good instincts
Fight (+2): Growing up in Mos Espa + basic training by your master
Force: (+2): Untrained but strong

Fate Points: 3
Stunts
Hand me that Hydrospanner:
You can use Mechanics even in the absence of proper tools if you succeed a role (you either use improvised tools or had something adequate in your pocket the whole time)

Skywalker: You gain +2 to piloting rolls if the action is used to overcome a Scene Aspect in a space battle.

Form VI: Niiman: Can use Force for combat representing your style

Force Cloak: Can use Force for Stealth

Journey to Coruscant part 1
You sigh as you leave Theed for the cold space. Unlike what some will think it's not because of the Queen even if she is pretty and fierce as the krayt and beautiful as the Mighty One of the desert. You have left her a japor talisman. She doesn't know it but you carved it with what you remember of the Mother's Protection. She will never know what the marks mean and perhaps she will simply slip the necklace into a coffer and forget it but it was a good thing to do. She is a good person. She deserves what protection you can offer. She is loved and deserves to be loved and you will always remember the crowds celebrating their freedom and her so fair beneath her finery and make-up. You think you would desire her if you were older. It irks you for you know of desire even if the Jedi that won your freedom would have preferred you would not. You remember the touch of his mind on yours, stern but gentle, relieved. The younger explained it to you. Even the Jedi are not accustomed to the Slave Quarters of Mos Espa. As a Toydarian Watoo never expressed this kind of interest but you know others who were less lucky and more still who had to deal with the realities of living with their parents in a single small room, especially when a sandstorm beat the windows.

No you don't sigh because of Padme Amidala crowned with gold and joy and care. You sigh for the fountains and the waterfalls of Theed who look to you as the heaven of the tales. Legends of your people speaking of gardens in the deep desert far from any depur. When comes the time where slavery is heavier on the shoulders than the fear of death and people gather on the freedom trails. In the closing ceremonies, even after your teacher slowly and deliberately with more careful dexterity than you expected braided your hair in the Jedi way, you sang in whispers the old song of freedom and hope. Teacher Windu asked why you sang of such feelings. He did not understand the words but felt the longing in your tune. You said only it was the music of Tatooine where water is scarce. Perhaps you expected a reprimand but the lines of his face softened and afterwards he talked to you of the worlds he ranged as a Jedi Knight even if his home will always be the Temple. He talks of war and peace, of friends made and shared cups, of chains broken and oaths upheld. He did not suffer slavery but he saw it and fought it.

You sit with him in a ship bound to Coruscant, to the Temple where you will spend most of your time as your master is based there. There will be missions and travels and friends but your existence will mostly happen in its confines. Still you are not yet arrived and Mace Windu will not be idle in the weeks spent in the cold of space. After all he is your Master… No he is not. He said it himself and all who came with him burning Qui Gon agreed. They are not masters as the Depurans are. They attain their rank by teaching a student and seeing them depart their presence. They are Teachers and that what you will call them. Still your teacher has clearly shown he won't be behind your back at each moment. You heard there were plans to make your schedule soft at the beginning but you reminded your teacher you were once a slave and accustomed to the heavy workout of the Temple's Younglings

It already began. Tests to see if you can read and write determining you can't in Basic and Rhyl but can in Huttese. You don't speak to the teachers of Amatakka, the mother's tongue for it is a secret meant for the ears of slaves. Teacher Windu never probes about the words you sang even if Elder Yoda once asks you of how slaves keep freedom while in chains.

You learn of the Code and you struggle with understanding its meaning, to the smiles of the teachers who tell you a life is not enough to decipher the sense of the sentences. You weight them with your own faith. They are not what you expected. The Jedi care not for gods or demons and you suspect they consider them unimportant compared to right living. Obi-Wan told you of Qunlan Vos marked with the symbols of his clan and the former student of your master is adorned with jewels of enlightenment. Still wrath is not a vice for slaves who would be free. You will have to meditate and have much to do.


Choose 2
[] Teacher Windu has decided you will build your Padawan's lightsaber before arriving to the Temple. By foresight or chance he carries with him the essential component. Such a lesson will not only enable you to begin training but also be a good demonstration of your mechanic skill

[] While you meditate you don't have much luck to still your mind by sitting still. Teacher Windu comes up with a solution and bring you to the repair bay where you are invited to work. He guides you along the path of moving meditation, teaching you than to work mindfully is to connect with the greater universe.

[] You sit with the Jedi delegation while Elder Yoda recounts to young Obi-Wan the tale of the Sith, their greatness and their horror. The tale includes images conjured by the Force, images you risk to take for reality. You are not alone to do this mistake.

[] While you used the Force by instinct your teacher has decided to make you feel it. You will meditate with him and experience what it is to listening to the music of the universe. Even before you walk the gates of the Temple you will have reached to at least one object and make it move by the power of your mind.

[] You are attacked. Nothing grave, just pirates who have the ill-luck of attacking a ship where Mace Windu and Yoda are traveling. You see the might of the order unleashed in battle and even get to participate either with a training saber or even in the old Tatooine fashion.

[] You are agile but Teacher Windu contends you must learn some lessons early. Knight Kenobi is called to help whip you into shape through unarmed combat. Perhaps the lesson is not actually for you but for the grieving young Jedi who must face in you a reminder of the death of his master.

The thought of pirates attacking the ship of the two most powerful Jedi alive is just hilarious.

Moving meditation since normal meditation is unlikely to work well with Anakin. But with moving Anakin can fix one of his major flaws and it will make learning and development of force abilities easier as well.

Getting at least the start of basics for force abilities is going to be very important. It will be the foundation from which Anakin will grow his skill set and knowledge.

A lightsaber is not needed right now. For one I think people are forgetting that Anakin while too old to join the Jedi was still too young to be a Padawan. He will go to Ilum later with other younglings to get their crystals and build their own lightsabers then. If he doesn't already have some sort of crystal from Tatooine like the Kryat Dragon Pearl.

Actually speaking of building his lightsaber. That could be a good way to have him come back to Tatooine with a Jedi strike force. Instead of being pulled to Ilum to get his crystals Anakin or Mace get The Force telling them to get the crystals from Tatooine instead. Since Anakin is only 9 there is about 3 years before he makes his own lightsaber since most of Jedi become Padawans and go to Ilum at around 12. That is 3 years of training building connections with other Jedi. Build enough and have the force pushing them and the Jedi will take down quite a bit of the slavers on the planet while there for crystals.
 
The thought of pirates attacking the ship of the two most powerful Jedi alive is just hilarious.
Can you imagine being those pirates, thinking your about to get filthy rich on a diplomats ship, and busting down the bulkhead to see Mace "Motherfucking" Windu and Grandmaster "The Troll " Yoda igniting their lightsabers.
Their faces would be priceless.

Which is why it is a waste we know there is nothing to be gained from the pirate attack. Better that Anakin get something out of this trip so he is ready for live at the temple.

:Citation Needed: that the QM just gave us a useless trap option.
It may give something but it is not worth it would could reasonably be gained from watching a bunch of idiots get defeated. Just because options exist doesn't mean they are all worthwhile. Some might do nothing or give little benefit and some might be straight up bad choices like the whole choose the one master that Anakin will hate that people tried to vote for.
