Jade sat down and waited for her members to arrive, they were all a little surprised she had arrived first; normally she waited till they had all arrived before entering in some grand show.  She watched as they each gave a small pause in their step, reached out with their senses to see if there were any guards around, ready to throw them out on their butts, before continuing and finding their chairs.  


 She took her time. Assessing each one, noticing how they each sat up straight and looked at her as her jet black eyes rolled over them. Finally she spoke, her voice dark and very deep, “Welcome back Night Hawks.  I’m impressed; you have really started to step things up.  It’s time the Clan was reminded just who the Night Hawks are and what we stand for.  I’m pleased to say you are beginning to do that.”  She paused letting them all feel satisfied for a brief moment before she leapt up from her seat onto the table, drawing her sword as she did the motion and slicing the blade down into the table. “Impressive only to a certain point.  You are the ELITE you need to show that. I expect more from you! Now get out there!” She drew her sword from the table and pointed towards the door. When no one moved she narrowed her eyes and growled “Go!”    


  They quickly got up and headed for the door, a droid at the exit made sure each one had a data pad before the doors were even unlocked. “And DON’T forget to read the report!”

Fighting Style:

Thanks to Alaric for coming up with a style for Night Hawks alone. This is something you are ALL to use while writing in Run Ons and fictions. It is a style ONLY YOU are privileged enough to learn and to use by being a Night Hawk member. So learn it and use it well!!!

Floating Shadow

The Night Hawks utilize a unique fighting style known as Floating Shadow. Developed by Mal'ari'carun, first Blade of the Night Hawks, it is based on the principles of misdirection prominent in the Chiss style of Carinor. Additionally, it utilizes highly formalized Force techniques to add to the confusion of the opponent and assist with misdirection, as well as in the execution of the physical techniques themselves. Clan Naga Sadow has always specialized in the application of telekinesis, but the elite of House Marka Ragnos bring those applications to a new level. Among the adherents of Floating Shadow there are three ranks.

The primary rank, taught to the first tier of Night Hawks, utilizes the normal techniques of Carinor coupled with brushes of the opponent's mind with the Force to distract them at key moments, as well as light but precise use of telekinesis to overbalance and trip up their enemy.

The Second Rank of Floating Shadow, taught to the Second Tier of the Night Hawks, builds on the initial repertoire as previously explained while adding new Force Elements. This Rank uses a combination of Modify Senses with Projective Telepathy to seem to darken the arena and blend into the Shadows. There is no actual physical affect, but the Force can have a powerful influence over the weak minded. Additionally, they apply telekinesis to the air around them, reflecting it against surrounding surfaces to launch them into the air and remain floating for up to a minute at a time. This is relatively useless for defense but does allow strikes from a multitude of unexpected angles.

The Final Rank, taught only to the last rank of Night Hawks, utilizes the powers of Absence and Flight, actually draining all light from the arena and applying telekinesis to fly around their opponent indefinitely. Only the most dedicated can master this Final Rank, and often even the Blade himself cannot duplicate all the attendant techniques.

Stance

The practitioner's body is angled towards their opponent, the forward foot pointed out and the rear foot at a ninety degree angle to the forward foot. The body is drawn in so the tailbone is even with the neck and spine, but the knees are kept bent. This gives the practitioner a solid base to attack from while allowing them to remain mobile.

Strikes

Most strikes are dealt from the shoulder in a whipping or thrusting motion that channels energy from the center of the practitioner to their strike. Kicks are often utilized, primarily round-house and other curving attacks as it allows the wielder to build up momentum prior to striking.

Defense

There are no blocks in Carinor. Instead, it uses parries to redirect the attacker's force and overpower them. Unlock most styles, it features blocks using both arms and legs. It also features many techniques designed to disarm opponents wielding a variety of weapons.

Movement

Practitioners of Floating Shadow are constantly in motion, whether through quick-stepping and rolling, or through floating and flight. They tend to circle their opponents, often quickly changing directions at the least expected time.

Training

Floating Shadow is taught only to the members of Night Hawks, and former members are sworn not to pass on their knowledge, on penalty of death for both themselves and their students. The Primary Rank is taught to those members who are Trainee to Hawk. The Secondary Rank is taught to those members who are Eagle/Crow/Vulture to Slayer/Warlock/Assassin. The Final Rank is taught to those members who are Demon/Fallen/Evoker. Training is a long process, generally taking years for even the most talented practitioners to master.

Competitions:

Get out and have fun!!

The New positions-The Blade

Specifics:

Known as really the one who makes sure the Night Hawks know how to fight have their very own fighting style to set them apart from the rest of the brotherhood. The position recently made as a way to strengthen the training, and give a specific go to guy when the Sword, Aka BTL, is otherwise occupied or on a mission. Also allows for more specific one on one fighting and training to be available.

Dress the QUA

Specifics: (open to ALL HMR)

Tired of seeing the same old robes on our QUA? Well now is your chance to

fashion him some brand new clothes, trick is you can use anything you want

to make your designer wear!!! From Trash bags, to ropes, to even toilet

paper, it's all up to you.

Your assignment is to create our QUA's next outfit! Draw by hand,

computer, whatever, your idea for the QUA's next outfit!!! Multiple entries allowed

Memorial--Graphics

Specifics: (Open to all of CNS)

During the recent war with the Vong many Clansmen fought hard, and many lost their lives to defending the Clan and the Brotherhood as a whole. Your task is to design a monument in their honor, something that can be proudly displayed. The names of those who were lost and those who were honored will be placed on this monument (separate areas), so room for this should be allowed, either at the bottom, top, middle, wherever depending on your design.

Quote the Star Wars Movie 6

Specifics: (open to all of CNS)

Same rules. Give me the character and the movie for each quote. Half

points if only the character or movie title is given.

1)"Ohhh! Great warrior! Wars not make one great!"

2)A communications disruption could mean only one thing: invasion.

3)I can assure you they will never get me onto one of those dreadful starships!

4)Your father was seduced by the dark side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed.

5) It only takes one to sound the alarm.

6) I see you becoming the greatest of all the Jedi, Anakin. Even more powerful than Master Yoda.

7) You're going to pay for all the Jedi that you killed today, Dooku.

8) Blast! This is why I hate flying!

9) I had nothing to do with it. General Rieekan thinks it's dangerous for anyone to leave the system until they've activated the energy shield.

10) There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you. [pauses] Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training.

Cover of Smoke and Darkness

Graphics

Specifics:

The Night Hawks have been developing a new small weapon, used more in defense then for attack. This weapon is like the smoke bombs you see on movies that people throw and allow themselves a cover in which to escape under.

Your Task is to draw this weapon. Perhaps use your detailed explanation from the detailed part of this competition (better if this occurs).

Lighting bolts of silver are pin striped through the claw. Given to those members who have received 4 Darkness Bidden awards.
