The Final Chris Grim Story (Announcement and Discussion)
« on: October 09, 2009, 11:38 PM »
I've decided it's time to end this chapter of my life, and to do so I feel a story that ends the character is the best way to go. The story will be called "The Final Hour - The Death of Christopher Grim".

To fully have you understand the story I'll need to fill you in on the "Road to Redemption" story that I deleted. So, here's a synopsis.

Chris Grim comes back to the Jedi Temple to try and pick up the pieces of his old life. He's killed his Master (Mukhtar) and let go of the hatred for his father which leaves him to believe he can make it work. He is mistaken.

As he makes the transition back he finds that he cannot be a Jedi. His life has been filled with too much pain and hatred. He's watched his mother die, the girl he loves die, he's lost Myste/Nimora (his last true friend), he's been betrayed by two Masters and has killed his own brother. He can't be a Jedi and he knows it.

He makes the decision to leave after sparring with a youngling in the temple. He uses Grip on the youngling and nearly kills him. He understands now what Mukhtar told him before his death. He will never be able to be a Jedi again.

Before he can even pack a bag the Jedi Temple is attacked by a large group of Dark Jedi. They are untrained and lack in much skill. The Jedi defeat them with no trouble, it reminds Grim of raids he, Mukhtar, and Nimora used to do on Dark Jedi groups to thin out the competition.

They catch one alive and they demand answers, but the answers they get only serves to confuse and anger Grim. The Dark Jedi claims they came to sieze the mantel of Dark Lord from Chris.

He explains that by killing Lord Mukhtar, even as his last act as a Sith, was still an act of a Sith. He took the mantel from Mukhtar, and whether HE acknowledges it or not the Dark Jedi/Sith community acknowledges it. This will not be the last attack. Every Dark Jedi who wants to make a name for themself will be after Chris. They will kill a Jedi AND a Dark Lord in one strike with their saber.

Chris ignites his blade and cuts down the Dark Jedi and leaves the Temple deciding that he can't live in the Temple for a day longer. He can't risk anyone dying because of his past. So, he sets out into the galaxy looking to stay alive kill as many Dark Jedi as come his way.


That's the story. This new story will be the last. It'll take a while to write since I'm in the middle of writing a book, but it'll come up periodically. This thread will be used for the story discussion to save forum space. Stay tuned.

Long story short, my PC died with my story on it. Had to reformat and as a consequence I lost the first three chapters... *sigh*... I have a few days off so I think I'll rewrite them and start posting them as soon as they are completed. I wanted to drop it all in one shot so people could read from beginning to end but the computer Gods do not wish as such, apparently.

Alright... little more than an hour, lol. First chapter is up. Short, but it didn't need to be extended, it was just an introductory to the story of the next 9 chapters anyways. It'll do. No ETA for the rest, I'm finishing the planning now.

Good start.

I hope the similarity between Grim and Anakin start to distance themselves as it is starting to sound too much like the same story.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that you include your mother into things, but with addint Nyphadora over there and the fact you turned to the dark...well sounds a little too 'done already'.

I like it, I like that you are hopeful to find her, but that it is not your priority. If you find her good, if you don't, oh well...you continue.

Another suggestion, if I may, is to make sure you don't cheapen the story by having you take on 5 Siths at a time and kill them all. Your story has a nice feel of credibility that would be cheapened with dare devil heroics. Realistic fights/battles would keep that credibility feel and would in the end provide a great story.

I look forward to the next chapter and hope you decide to extend it beyond the few chapters you intended to write.

Menelaos

I knew I forgot to change something. When he speaks to... well, technically he speaks to himself but hopes his mother hears him he's not supposed to make it sound like he is currently fallen. He's supposed to try and explain that he's gone down the wrong path but is trying to make amends for that. Part of the story I posted in this thread is that he went back to the Jedi to continue his training but finds he's gone too far down the Dark path that he cannot possibly go back. He is a danger to everyone around him so now he looks for the one person he knows he can't hurt so that he doesn't have to be alone. That is the point of the story, not that he's on the path to his death.

As for the 'taking on 5 Sith' thing, I had an idea to work around it so that I can show how powerful he's become but do so without making it unbelievable... Even for a Jedi.

EDIT: I made alterations to the First Chapter to better explain what is happening so far in the story and whatnot. Hopefully this helps with the whole pulling away from the Anakin storyline thing as I've been trying to do ever since CG came back from the SoP and the Dark Side.
