((I only have skills on RP through games never on forums but i can do my best and try to please you.

I would say IC training would be good for me to grasp the proper meaning of RP

And OOC it would be good for detail and length ))

Supreme Commander Marix stood on the grassy knoll on his home planet of Kiffu. It had been 5 years since he had been here last, dueling his friend the then-Darth Tarna. It had been before either of them had become Order Heads, and the battle had taken place in an abandoned village 100 miles from here.
This small, peaceful area was the place of Markaro Vos, not Marix. Markaro Vos had been being groomed to be the next Shey'f of the Kiffar, to ascend to his families traditional rank and responsibility. But the deception and betrayal by his regent had turned him from that path and into his current one.
As he stood there, letting the swift breeze whip through his Kiffar-styled hair and his long black cloak. He had ordered his apprentice to land on the planet, and find him through the Force. Darth Marix had dampened his Force signature, adding to the challenge, wondering if Laurio would be able to complete his first task.

Laurio found his master after a half an hour. "Sorry i took so long master i landed a bit to far away" Laurio bowed his head in respect and waited for his master to continue

Markaro Vos just stood there, breathing in Kiffu's air and the image around him. He stared off into the distance, ignoring his apprentice. He slowly wrapped the Force around a large boulder, and lifted it into the air, behind Laurio's back. It was so subtle, that Blake could not sense the Force usage. The boulder slowly gained momentum in the air as Markaro pulled on it. It was heading right for Laurio...

Laurio did not sense the force use but he felt the presence of the boulder rushing towards him. Quickly and smoothly he took out his two lightsabers Snap hiss and turned around and sliced the boulder into pieces in one fluid movement staring at the boulder he awaited his masters reply

Still, Markaro physically ignored his apprentices presence, instead he focused his mind on the pieces of the boulder. He picked them up with the Force, and started them in a controlled orbit around Laurio. The rocks accelerated, faster and faster, spinning around an ever closing eye, with Laurio in the center.

Opening his eyes, Markaro spoke for the first time.

"Give up yet?"

"I never give up" Laurio says struggling to breathe in the cyclone the rock fragments were making

Laurio used the force by concentrating on one painful memory. a blast of the force surrounded him and exploded. the rocks were destroyed and flung all around in small patches of sand
Laurio fell to the ground taking large gulps of air wondering what was going to happen next ? did he react properly or was his action going to cost him dearly ? he tensed up waiting for his masters word or action ready to take on anything

Markaro let go of his whirling stones just as Laurio unleashed his own storm. He didn't want to kill the kid by matching Force powers, and making Laurion strain.

"First lesson. Knowing when to give up. You are not all powerful, never will be. The only thing we can do is make you stronger than you are. Rise, you may catch your breath as we walk. You are lucky you did not pull that stunt with another Master, one not as forgiving as I am, or in a real battle, where you may have killed yourself with the strain to overcome your opponents Force power."

Markaro began walking down the hill, in no particular direction at all, only walking on the planet of his past.

"Tell me. What do you know of the Force?"

"The Force is our power and our ally. The Force has always been with us. That is its nature. It surrounds us. And penetrates. It binds the universe together. Those who become sensitive to its presence can learn how to use it"

"The Force was divided into four aspects: the light side, the dark side, the Unifying Force, and the Living Force. The first two aspects were concerned with the moral compass of the Force in its various manifestations. The light side of the Force was the facet aligned with compassion, courage, healing, and benevolence, while the dark side of the Force was the element aligned with hatred, fear, aggression and malevolence. The latter two aspects were defined by prominent Jedi philosophies The Unifying Force essentially embraced space and time in its entirety while the Living Force dealt with the energy of living things. To some Jedi, The Force was life, and life was the Force. Though the Force was categorized in this way, there were no specific abilities or powers that were only usable by a follower of a different path of the Force the Force partially existed inside the life forms that used it, and drew energy from their emotions"

"This is the force" says laurio

((Do you mind if i make it so laurio has the mandalorian armour thats shown on my profile pic ?))

Supreme Commander Alor

"I see that you are some kind of encyclopedia, reciting back exact definitions. How well are you at practicing the Force? Using its power? Or are you only good for defining it?"

Markaro continued walking, planning out another test of Laurio's experience with the Force.

[[Don't just cut and paste from Wookiepedia. Try to make it sound more natural, no one would talk like that. "Laurio", I am sure, has some sort of manner of speaking, just as Marix/Markaro does, try to use that, making this all the more realistic.]]

"I am just reciting what the sith i trained under in tatooine said to me. We did not get alot of time to talk as we were attacked. I do not know how to use the force very well, I mostly concentrate on a memory that makes me angry or sad and it just happens.
I cannot control it very well most of the time it just bursts out like you saw, leaving me weak and tired." Laurio explains while wondering what was goin to happen next?

(( sorry about wookiepedia i was leaving to go to my dads and wouldn't be back for a few days so i had to be fast ))

Supreme Commander Alor

"So you have had previous experience and training by a Sith. Tell me do you know the Sith's name, the one who trained you before me? That is something I would like to know."

Markaro once again grasped an object, this time a large branch and hurled it at his apprentice.

"No i do not know his name he told me just to call him Master"

Laurio Destroyed the branch with his two lightsabers cutting it into many pieces

Supreme Commander Alor

"I see." Was all Markaro said in reply.

He paused in his motion.

"You seemed infatuated by your saber. Defend yourself..." He snarled, leaping around with his own saber suddenly ignited, and humming directly towards his apprentice's chest.

Laurio swung one of his sabers and deflected his masters and in one fluid movement twirled the second saber down on his masters back

Supreme Commander Alor

Marix ignited the second blade of his staff saber, which sprung up neatly and blocked Laurio's oncoming blade. He grabbed a handful of dirt with the Force and flung it in the air at Laurio's face, blinding him. Then Marix leaped backwards, flipping out of the way of Laurio's flailing blades, only to charge back in, his silver blade held forward, the red blade now de-ignited once more.

He flicked his wrist and sent the silver blade straight into Laurio's first blade, knocking it out of the way. He swung his other hand in and punched his apprentice on the cheek.

"You need to forget your sabers. They are not your only weapons. You have the Force, your feet and hands, your mind... Use them all equally, develop all of your skills, and you will succeed."

"yes master" Laurio said rubbing his cheek
As he walked past his master he fell into a sweeping kick knocking him from his feet. He then grabbed his master and threw him against a nearby tree "Better?" he asked as a grin formed on his face as he remembered the mess fights with the orphans when he was a child

Supreme Commander Alor

[[I didn't end the duel. Edit your post to continue the duel.]]

Laurio could not stop the spinning and began to feel very dizzy and sick
"Please stop master i give up!" he yelled supressing the urge to vomit

Supreme Commander Alor

[[Your post makes it seem like A. You are more powerful than me, B. I would not react, C. You cut my arm off? and D. You cut my tendons?
You could not stop yourself, perhaps slightly slow yourself down, but not stop. You are an apprentice, you are not all powerful, you are facing someone far more powerful and experienced than yourself. Try to keep it realistic. What you did was like the baby Luke defeating Emperor Palpatine [which Yoda couldn't do]. As you progress and get promoted, your powers will grow stronger. But for right now, you yourself said you had little experience/talent in the Force. Try again.]]

Laurio did as his master said and stood with his right arm extended and thought hard
he remembered the guards that bet him and kept harrassing him when he was a thief. "I am ready Master"
