I believe that question is obvious.. Garik was Tomoran's first Padawan, and when Garik left to learn Telekinesis under someone else on Coruscant, IC-wise Tomoran might have felt he failed you as a Master to teach you what you wanted to know.. that's my take on it.

Pretty much.

-Blames self for the fate of others (Yulia Cera)

You blame yourself for Yulia going to Coruscant? o.O

I don't suppose you were around for the three years of vigorous attempts to counsel Yulia and gain a more positive approach about her training. She spent the majority of her time talking about being isolated from her peers, being looked down at by mentors, feeling uncertain of particular lessons, etc. etc.

Any character listed in the list of people Tomoran felt responsible for (aside from Younglings #1 and #2, who only made the errors of getting shot) were people he had long-standing relationships with and an active investment in their betterment who, whether by his fault or not, chose to go in a different direction, leaving him feeling a sense of failure.

Aside from his Master, who died and there was nothing he could do about it. But he feels guilty about it anyway because that's kind of his shtick.

Yeah, Tomoran the shtick in the mud.

Look at this goy.

Why not allow people to find out icly? Even if our characters won't admit it, it should still be somewhat obvious.

This thread is unneeded.

Don't want to know?

Don't read it then.

The knowledge of the player and the knowledge of the character are separate. People want to talk to me about their character? I find that interesting. There's no issue with this. Our CHARACTERS find out ICly. The knowledge that the PLAYERS have has no bearing on such things.

In theory but rarely in practice.

The less people know OOC, the less likely they're going to set up a script to deliberately address issues their character would have no clue (or interest) about otherwise.

Example:

Person A just finds out OOC that Person B's RP parents were killed by a Jedi.
Next time they are on the server, Person A asks Person B:
"So! Tell me about your parents!"

This kind of obvious scripted bait-and-trap role play is common when you know things as the player but not as the character. It's not always deliberate, some times it's subconscious.

I can understand why folks don't like these discussions. But I'll just not bother reading to save negative effects on my own RP.

Simple!

Only thing I want to know is who has a problem with this kind of thing? Wouldn't "So! Tell me about your parents" be adding something to the rp. Who cares if he/she had OOC motive. Aslong as it's done correctly through rp, I would encourage it.

In addition, you can always just decline to share that information in character.

"I don't know you well enough to get into that."

Etc.

I don't talk to random coworkers about all of the facets of my life.

Aurien as of now:

Aurien is cocky, in that he considers himself very good looking. He has light OCD, extreme when he's nervous or stressed, and is somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to training. Whether it be Force training or Lightsaber training.

Anything else, you'll have to find out yourself.

It's probably well known already, but never the less..

Illrian feels overly confident with his lightsaber arts. While he knows he has much to still learn, he feels that what he already knows makes him better then he truly is. Sometimes he may also act with such pride in that area because of his feelings.

One thing about Imil is his interest changes rapidly. When he first came to the Yavin temple he was committed to his fathers Hapan fighting drills. He loved to fight hand-to-hand with his peers. After being initiated he began to drop that interest considerably and moved onto Lightsaber combat. This lasted until his early teens. This is a flaw because he doesn't quite juggle his training correctly. I'm not going to say what his pursuits are now.
