Forum:Order of Dai Bendu development

Star Wars Fanon &gt; Project Force Wars &gt; 

This forum is going to be used to develop the . Here is what we know about them so far. Basically, they’re monks, hence “Bendu monks.” They came to be on the planet Thape (prior to coming to Tython) and consisted of monks dedicated to non-confrontation and the study of numerology. They believed that the number eight represented the unification of the galaxy by the Force, hence the eight-spoked circular Bendu seal, the Insignia of Unity, used by the Republic.

So we also know that they came together with priests, philosophers, warriors, and the other two factions on Tython to learn more about the Force. I won’t go into too much detail here, since we all know what was devised for the backstory here.

Things to develop

 * 1) We need to develop a specific backstory/history for this faction prior to coming to Tython, as well as the ten thousand years between the arrival of Tython and the Force Wars. We will need to pay specific attention to what we are also developing for the other two factions.
 * 2) We need to develop their customs, their beliefs, their culture, societal practices, where they lived, how they lived, etc. That’s going to be a fairly lengthy discussion, but developing stuff like that is awesome.
 * 3) We need to develop the workings of the order itself, specifically their ranks, practices, etc.

So with those in mind, I think it’s safe to say we can begin this discussion. NOTE: If you feel we need to add anything else to the list of things to develop if, bring it up on the talk page just we can all make sure we’re not adding anything that’s irrelevant.

Backstory/history
Just a note, since we've had a few people say in the past few days “don’t decide anything, I have some ideas I can’t bring up for a few hours,” I think it’s safe to say we’re all entitled to do that. As a collaborative project, it’s important that everyone be able to bring their ideas to the table before we make a decision. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 19:33, September 10, 2009 (UTC)
