RP Hooks

Just some ways you could approach Jabbar. If I wrote something here, then you're welcome to initiate contact with it. Surprising me with it could be fun.If you're with the Republic
- The Council puts you on a routine assignment to monitor Jabbar's activities.
- You trained alongside him on Tython. You remember the silent boy who never smiled at victories. You wonder if he ever learned to.
- You prevented him from needless bloodshed during Republic offensive operations. He struggled to look you in the eye ever since. (pre-KotFE)
- Your wish to confront him to understand. How does someone fall to the dark yet fight like he hasn't?
- You escaped Tython with him during the Eternal Empire invasion. You lost; Jabbar gained. You saw it in the way he watched the horizon as you flew away.
- You think he can help you stop someone else from falling. You know where that path leads, but Jabbar has walked it. You hope he hasn't forgotten how to talk someone back from it.
- He reminds you of who you used to be...and it's not a good thing.
- You served in a Republic military unit with Jabbar embedded as a Jedi guardian. He did anything he had to for you and your comrades to return home to your families - things which could have gotten you all courtmartialed.If you're with the Empire
- A scared subordinate says a Pantoran offered a bribe for info about you. The description fits: quiet. hooded. Eyes like a reactor core.
- You saw what he did in the Korriban Incursion. He fought like a Jedi yet still left no survivors.
- He found you injured once and wouldn't fight you. You don't know whether it was kindness or an insult.
- Jabbar killed your master. (make sure to narrow it down)If you're with yourself
- You share the same flaw; you both let rage drive your blade. You know that silence - the kind which comes after.
- You were once like him - and then you stopped caring. You wonder if he still does.
- He stole your kill. The target was yours; the victory was yours. He let you keep the reward, but the memory still bothers you.If you're in the Outer Rim
- You live on Rishi and/or both mix with the same scum and villainy.
- He helped you eliminate raiders but wouldn't tell you why. He just stared at the sunset like it owed him something.
- His vigilantism and yours happen to coincide. Sometimes he's there before you; sometimes he's there after. You never hear each other arrive or leave.
- His cat stole something from you. Jabbar returns it to you and says "lesson learned." You're not sure for whom.

Tropes

Jabbar is a deconstruction of the heroic Jedi warrior, forged in the crucible of war and discarded by the very Order that shaped him. A terrifyingly efficient lightsaber duelist and battlefield legend, Jabbar embodies the consequences of using violence for peace—both personally and ideologically. His story isn’t a fall to the dark side in the typical sense, but a slow erosion of certainty, purpose, and emotional control. He remains deeply committed to justice, but his methods—and scars—speak to the price of that conviction.Deconstructed Tropes1. The Jedi Weapon
Deconstructs: The Jedi Enforcer, Morally Pure Warrior, Tool of the Council
Iconic Moment: Without support from allies, Jabbar massacres a ring of slavers on a lonely planet, screaming into the rain. His reward? A reprimand. He left no survivors. The Jedi praised his effectiveness but punished his lack of restraint—an early taste of hypocrisy that made him what he is.2. Greater Good Heroics
Deconstructs: Righteous Fury, Victory Equals Redemption, Kill the Evil One
Iconic Moment: His duel with Darth Vorlag began in orbit and ended in the wreckage of a space station on a ruined world. He won by surrendering to anger, slicing the Sith to pieces in front of liberated crowds. His yellow eyes shone as he smeared the Sith's blood across his body—not out of triumph, but shame. The crowd cheered. Jabbar couldn’t smile.3. The Jedi Redeemed
Deconstructs: Stoic Warrior Is Emotionally Invincible, Nothing Scares the Badass
Iconic Moment: Post-fall, Jabbar runs—not from Sith, but from a Jedi empath who sees into his mind. Despite her gentle voice and kindness, Jabbar flees from her. Undefeated in battle, yet terrified of being understood.4. The Silent Mentor
Deconstructs: Redemption Equals Death, Once You Fall You’re Lost
Iconic Moment: On a post-war world, Jabbar finds a broken Jedi who used the dark side to win. The boy is collapsed in mud, unable to rise. Jabbar extends his hand: a rare glimpse of compassion from someone who knows what it means to fall and live with it.Key Personality Conflict: Believes he was only doing what the Jedi required—being their weapon—but is cast out for doing it too well. His story is not about temptation, but abandonment. His rage isn’t hunger for power—it’s the fury of a soldier left behind.Summary:
Jabbar is what happens when a Jedi does everything right on the battlefield and everything wrong off it. His story critiques the systems that create warriors and then discard them when they become inconvenient. He is still a force for good—but one forged in contradiction, and dangerous to both enemies and allies who cling to idealism without understanding the cost.

Deviant Art: Ihsan997I'm in an EU timezone but currently quite busy IRL. Transitioning to a new job and all. Discord, Tumblr, and forums are easier for me than meeting in-game (as of mid-2025).I've been roleplaying since the mid-1990s. I'm approachable even if my character isn't nice. I've mentored people IRL, and I aim to build up others and help them bring out the best in themselves (or in this context, their characters).
