A LONG TIME AGO, IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY...

A galaxy at war. Count Dooku’s droid soldiers clash with the newly-formed Grand Army of the Republic. Galactic trade and travel lanes are shutting down, and more and more planets find themselves swept into the conflict. Crime is rife, betrayal is the norm, and the Jedi, once guardians of the Republic, have become the right hand of the military. In the midst of chaos and destruction, new players emerge, strangers with unclear pasts and unknown intent, offering aid to the overwhelmed Republic. But something is amiss in the Force. Buckling beneath the shroud of the Dark Side, the Jedi search for answers...

For the Republic is an open Discord Star Wars roleplaying server for a Prequel-Original Trilogy crossover set during the Clone Wars. It is brand new, and open to all players over the age of eighteen. Please read the rules and available characters, and then send in the application to our inbox.

the television screen is the retina of the mind’s eye.

👁‍🗨 therefore the television screen is part of the physical structure of the brain? 

👁‍🗨 therefore whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience  for those who watch it?

👁‍🗨 therefore television is reality, and reality is less than television!

"I know you hate it, but you need to hold still! I can't let you walk around like this!" Torrent tossed his head and obediently held his hoof up, until again deciding he'd had enough and setting it back down. Merri sat back, rag in hand, and again expelled a weak blast of fire to cleanse it. She was glad to have learnt at least one spell, though she detested most magic; it kept her from having to dispose of every rag or brush she used to clean the swamp water from Torrent's legs. Rolling her eyes to the sky, she traced a few shapes on the horizon, picking out a mounted silhouette and immediately whistling. "Ho! Brom! Down here! Bro-om!"

She would never admit the extent to which the abandoned village frightened her. She had learned not to let the rats touch her, withdrawing to the trees to fell them with her bow rather than rely on the short reach of her rapier -- which did not yet feel, as Bernahl insisted it would, like an extension of her arm. The burning pain and the sight of the creeping yellow infection beneath her skin when the first rat had bitten her had been enough to send her running for the nearest Site of Grace. It was only reluctantly that she had ventured back into the woods, insisting to herself that nothing scared her. An idea quickly disproven when she shrieked at movement in the brush, only to recognise it belatedly as human, then as a friend. "Oh, Heysel! Heysel, I thought you were a rat! I was about to shoot you!"

also while she's locked up in there i like to think she can speak to shades of radagon and marika, the previous captives of the erdtree / gods under the greater will ( because merri is not elden lord, she's abolished the existence of the elden lord and separated marika and radagon and taken their place ). i am also a firm believer that like... while what marika did was misguided and evil, her insanity was also not. unprompted? basically if i were told i was god but there was another bigger god over me and i couldn't do anything i wanted to do because i had to check with bigger god and if i did step out of line he'd lock me in my room, i'd go nuts. being on the very cusp of ultimate power but not having ultimate power would be more maddening than either being all-powerful or being powerless. the lack of fulfilment would get me and i think it's what got marika. being a vessel for the greater will, made to be The golden goddess of the lands between, but also having to grapple with the potential of being replaced ( by another empyrean ), with not having absolute control over her own life or the lives of others ( despite being able to separate out unwanted bits of the ring ), and having to section of parts of herself for political and practical purposes ( i have a whole marigon concept that grew out of the fungus in my skull sorry ), drove her to the point of rebellion. i think it would do the same to merri, especially with her being trapped inside. merri is so social, so wild, so used to roaming that having to sit in the erdtree pocket dimension with no one to talk to but the other two gods would have her losing her mind pretty quick. anyways all this to say i really, really want development with merri and marika here. i was mad once and soon you will be mad too.

i would love to explore a story post-separation ending where, instead of being flat out killed by the elden beast, merri replaces marika on the rune arc, strung up in the erdtree to be punished for her sin of burning the tree, freeing marika and radagon, and robbing them of their divinity. the people that merri has met and influenced, knowing that she is missing and where she last was, resolve to free her from the tree together. i would probably use kelila for interactions there. but like. as much as i’m in love with my downer ending where success = death / disappearance and the poignancy of merri vanishing after accomplishing her task, i’m equally in love with a continuation of that in which one good turn inspires another, where yes she was permitted to sacrifice herself but everyone else is also permitted to then try to get her back, because she is their friend, and they’re not just going to leave her there alone.
