This is my personal history, recounting all my troubles and seeking for knowledge. This page will be updated throughout my history as it happens also, and if the Jedi_ should again fall...............well, this will be a voice from the past to any of you that read this far from my time.
November 2007 - May 17 2008 : I began my journey of EAW during the summer of 2007, though my online journey began in November of that year. I had just joined the online world of EAW and was seeking a clan to call home. I fought and learned, but I was still hopelessly blissful and blind to what really lay in that world. After three days of searching, I fought in an eight player land battle, and one of my opponents was a Jedi _ . After the battle was over, wich my side won due to a daring attack on my part in order to draw their forces away from my allies sneaking force so that they could invade a mainly undefended base, this Jedi_ came to me later. After congradulating me on the manuver, he asked if I would like to join the Jedi_ . I immediately accepted and he began to teach me, though he made it clear that he was not my master. It was at the end of a long EAW war called the Clone Wars, in wich a long history of violence and death finally came to an end. There were only two living Jedi_ left at this time, a Jedi called Zane and the Jedi who recruited me, Chyro. He had me go to his website ( www.freewebs.com/jedi__masterchyro ) and there I learned the history of our clan.
It told of Chyro surviving an even older war than almost everyone remembers, and how he rebuilt the fallen Jedi_ Order. He trained many, and the Jedi had grown strong again, when a new war started, one that had many names but was really one war rediscovered, that ended in the phase called the Clone Wars, where the jedi had split, one with Chyro and another with a Jedi named Sev. These two groups fought each other as well as the ever growing Sith, until at last all three sides were wore down to almost nothing. It was at this time that Chyro recruited me, and shortly after he and Zane dissapeared, leaving me the last of the Jedi_ . This is the period of time I call the Lone Era, for I was truly alone. Many still had ancient grudges against the Jedi_ and Chyro however, and many of them were fallen Jedi. So I fought on my own, in map battles and also RP battles, where I was severly injured. At this time I was forced to turn my healthy Avatar into a Grievous Avatar in order to survive the injuries. I fought back though, and many began to fall by my blades http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwJ7Nh9DeZU . ( btw I post hyperlinks to video clips instead of using pictures, so just click on those links and you'll see what I have for imagry, though I'll still put pictures)
During this Lone Era, where I was the Last of the Jedi_ , I met Tsuichoi, leader of the Alliance and a former enemy of the Jedi, but a historion who had information on the days long past. I helped him in exchange for information, and eventually protected him when many clans attacked the Alliance at once. Shortly after though, I fought my demons, walking the path of the Dark Side and turning on my former allies and friends. At this time I was a Dark Jedi that went on a rampage

Many died at my hands, for at this time my Grievous like form killed countless people in RP battles. (btw RP battles are just as official as official map challenges, if you die, your GONE FOREVER!!!!!) I hunted for the Alliance, and the name of Dark Ace was known by all..............and feared
But one day Chyro had reapeared for a short time, and he helped me realize the error of my ways, and so I returned to the Jedi path. He immediatley dissapeared again afterwards. I then set out on my lonely path, keeping in touch with Tsuichoi but mainly wandering in my own way. This was during the RP phase of the Great Wars, when everyone took to battling in the lobbies. They were violent, and sad. I helped the innocent when I saw them, and fought the oppresive. But of the Sith.....there was no sign

In the month of May I decided that with all the new clans popping up, the Jedi_ had to be strenghened once more. So I took on an aprentice by the name of Trey. Now Trey was an excellent student that wanted peace and the Old Days returned, for quite frankly we were all getting tired of the new clans. During his time as a padawan he tried to unite the Sith and the Jedi, but after seeing his noble attempt fail, he doubled his efforts into becoming a Jedi. He became a Jedi Sentinel and sought truth, while a sith joined and became a Gaurdian, protecting padawans. At this time I saw that the Jedi_ were indeed strenghening, and proclaimed that the Age of the Jedi_ Order had begun.
May 23 2008 : The clan was growing. New members flocked to the Order everyday. It seemed that peace may very well come again. But the Sith were back, trying to destroy us. I had numerous reports of a warroir named Kiro and a sithlord named Ajunta raising an army to once again attack the Jedi. At the same time, two new people had joined, raising our numbers to seven. We were getting stronger, and I had a bad feeling someone was soon going to take action. I dispatched multiple people to watch for any sign of these two, and kept an eye out for them myself. Things were going to get bad real soon, and the Jedi_ had to be prepared
At this time there was also a girl named Ashy. She could be cruel, but was kind hearted also. She helped me in times of need during the Lone Era, and for that she had my undying thanks. I also had people watch over and protect her, and my friends from that time had become leaders and great warroirs of their clans, and had gotten their clans to ally with us. These were much needed, and I had plans that Ashy might become the key factor in
May 23 2008 (around midnight) : It had been a hard day. Two Jedi had been raised, one to Knighthood, another to Masterhood. An old friend named Illyria had appeared, and we were the last two with the name of Jedi_Knight. An imposter had come that night, by the name of Koolaid, and stirred the Jedi's hearts against each other. Not everyone was accepting the new reuniting of Jedi_ and [Jedi] , and a [Jedi] named Solo had turned on the Jedi and went for the Sith. It seemed Kiro and Ajunta were doing all too well, people were remembering old hatreds, but also old glories. Wisdom, my long time friend and ally, had come with that reunification and now sat on the High Council, along with Trey. Master Zane even popped up for a while. Things were growing strained, and it was time I put the Council into action
May 31 2008 : Trouble. The Jedi_ and [Jedi] had officially united, we were now one. But it came at a price. Two padawans, Xai and Shida, had fallen in love and left the Order. A great RP battle followed, and my Grievous avatar was wounded beyond repair. We had to do an RP ceremony and make it the new avatar, much like Qui-Gon Jinn. Rumors of plots and treachery were surrounding me, I was finding it hard to trust more than a few people, and I was finding it harder and harder to keep to the Code. My emotions were running wild, my training was failing me, and the Sith were marching. I decided that I had to put the Order in the Council's hands, and went into a self imposed exile, after informing the Council of course. Much was to be decided, and the calm before the storm had arrived..........War was coming

Dark Ace in Exile
From now on all entries will be entered by a friend of mine. He doesnt tell anyone who he is but he agreed to do me that last favor. Fairwell Order...........I will return one day. Until then, good luck.....and May the Force be with you

May 31 2008 : Entrees now made by one know only as Komisov Daminov.
Dark Ace had become an Exile wich the whole Council agreed to. He then pursued the one he had come to love. Xai and Shida had a great fight wich changed evryone, and proved that love conquers all. They now are madly in love and spend their spare time sharing wonderful moments.
The Order was essentially in chaos. No one knew what to do about the absence of Dark Ace, and many were distraught by it. Dark Ace still popped up from time to time, but it was always staying at the side of his beloved. No one knew what to do but, hey...it was Summer
June 3 2008 : Dark Ace had returned from Exile and Chyro had finally returned. But when Chyro came it made a real mess. His ways and leading position threw the New Jedi_ into a rage, causing them to rebel. After becoming one of the Last Jedi_ to stand against them Dark Ace saw what Chyro's change of ways had done. He had stripped people of rank and title, and had taken control solely apon himself. The Jedi_ rose up against him, and restored order to the Jedi_ Order
June 30 2008 : This was a time when the Jedi_ had once again fallen. It was known among the Jedi_ as the Time of Trouble, and no one really liked to speak about it. Chyro and Zane had returned one day, and kicked out all members besides Dark Ace. This was after Chyro's last appearance, but it ended worse than last time also. The Order had gone from a newly risen great thing to a smoking ruin. The Jedi_'s enemies had come and gone, leaving more scars of war, with traitors and deserters all aroundand it made Dark Ace the last of the Jedi_ again. During this time he also went searching for the girl he had fallen in love with, wich turned out to be none other than Shida. She had dissapeared, and then love and curiousity had driven him hard to find her once again.At the same time he also went and helped the Alliance once more, for the odds had been stacked against Tsuichoi and Dark Ace has always loved fighting the odds.Wether the Order will be rebuilt or be snuffed out completely once and for all is still to be foretold.
THE JEDI_ ORDER FALLS
The Jedi_ had fallen once more, they died and turned on each other, friends tunred to enemies, love turned to hatred, trust turned to malice.They were also attacked by other clans, and the great Jedi_ Order fell, leaving Dark Ace confused and alone, wandering from place to place, hunted by the other Jedi_ , on trial from the [Jedi] , while enemies laid all around him, watching, waiting. With wars and rumors of wars all around, Dark Ace took to wearing a hooded robe at all times, and shrouded himself ever deeper in deception.For it was all he could do at this point. Fight, watch....and survive
July 23, 2008 : The times of war settled down eventually, leaving many clans confused and fighting, squabbling their petty lives away. Of the once great Jedi, only three remained. Kira, leader of the [Jedi], Wisdom, the only follower of Kira left, and Dark Ace, still alive and kicking. He no longer feared showing his tags, noone really remembered the Jedi anymore. The Sith clans were engulfed in civil wars, killing them off to barely anything but still corrupt as ever. Ace wandered EAW and many other games at this time, not recruiting or training anyone like he did last time, he had learned from that mistake. He was reluctant to take on another padawan, his last hadn't ended up so well. THings were looking pretty dismal for EAW, Tsuichoi's Alliance and Gray Jedi fighting and doing their monarchy rule. He spent much of his time writing down a more detailed version of what happened in the Jedi Story, and spent his time debating with himself about wether he should bring the Jedi_ back. It wasn't a fun time for the guy, but something had to be done.

August 14, 2008 : Much had happened, Dark Ace was playing a dangerous game, one filled with peril and mysteries. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zee1OALy12I&NR=1 He had taken control of the Gray Jedi, and had found a boy named Zepthys to lead the Order. He guided this one, taught him what he could, and helped him where he could. They began recruiting and training Jedi_ , EAW had been quiet lately, wars and rumors of wars dropping to whispers. People were settling and slowing down, not much going on, a dangerous thing to have happen. On a joyful side note Shida had returned, her computer had chrashed but now she was back and things were looking up as Ace started getting people ready for the storm that must surely come http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rHFS9UyZYM
Later that night : Dark Ace left EAW , for unknown reasons even to him. All anyone could get out of him were three words.
I Have Failed

July 08, 2009 : Much, very much indeed, has happened in the time since the last entry into the History. The Jedi_ were nothing more than a memory for a long time, having fallen hard and fast during the very same August that Dark Ace left. The old Jedi were no where to be found, the new Jedi had long since gotten themselves lost or fled eaw completely. Dark Ace spent his time as a Guard for the Alliance, quietly holding memories of his fallen Order, and waiting, a silent sentinel. the [Jedi] , the other half of the broken Order from long ago, had become nothing more than a broken shell of what they once were, and even the many Sith factions had fallen far from their former selves. It was a time of darkness for almost a year, eaw rotted away and became almost an entirely new place, holding no memory of the past that had been destroyed. During this time, when all the realm of eaw had mostly forgotten the violent past they had left behind........that a lone Jedi stirred once more to battle the Sith.
Seeing the [Jedi] in such a fallen state, seeing eaw itself in such a changed state, Dark Ace returned once more into the world of the Jedi_ . He recruited a few others, a woman named Kreia, an old Gray named Rathe, and gathered more members as the [Jedi]. leaderless and crumbling, asked to join with the Order. PloKoon came, as well as a history seeking young man named Zenith, and even a padawan by the name of Aqinos. The Jedi_ were indeed starting to look up as still more people joined, people who led their own armies, and who fought for the Jedi with them. As the Order began to slowly climb back onto it's feet, the Jedi made sure the Sith stayed crushed and unable to fight, working with many to keep their ancient hated foes vunerable and unable to attack others. Things were starting to look up for the Jedi, but they knew that great danger could possibly be lying ahead, waiting for them to slip up and present a weakness. The Jedi_........were back!
5-5-2012: Time flies, ages come and go, and yet still I return. Greetings to all, for I am still the same Altair DarkAce, last and first of the Jedi_ , keeper of the chronicles, and guardian of this site. Much has occurred since 2009, though I may or may not share of said events since they pertain more to my history rather than the Jedi_'s.........though perhaps we could argue that I am the Jedi_ , eh?
The journey of the Jedi_ came to a crashing halt after that brief glimpse of hope in '09, mainly due to my lack of foresight concerning the strength of my students' minds. We had gathered once more, and had actually done quite well. Our member base was around thirty two members at its peak I believe, though I apologize that most of those did not make it into the Fallen list as they properly should have. The growth was rapid, within two weeks, and it left an old-stylist such as myself quite flustered. I'd come to rely upon my high members to deal with the rest, delegating it in order to give me more time to concentrate on leading the Order.......which is as it should have been.
The model worked splendidly, yet it was still based on the archaic model of Chyro's time. I led by sheer willpower, influence, and age rather than an official title. At the time I believed that it was the best method, allowing for equality since no one had some righteous holy leading position that all could covet and strive to acquire. I still believe that the system was almost perfect, but it requires individuals who have let go of their fallacies in order to achieve a unified leadership. And for a time, this worked, and we dealt with many problems, mainly dear master Chyro's return.
Let us pause and speak of Chyro for a moment, since I'm not quite sure if I've properly explained him after acquiring knowledge about him. Chyro did indeed found the Jedi_ , alongside his friend Zane, back when EAW first released. They'd created it in order to protect people from the ever growing game competition that was just developing in those days. Politics in eaw didn't exist yet, but as they formed things became...........tense, to say the least. Back in those days the tags were jedi_ and Chyro and Zane led quite well. A Sith clan also rose however, and chose the jedi_ as their primary opponent. This is where Chyro's..........quirks, must be explained.
Chyro always had a warrior's heart, but as time passed he allowed it to flourish in ways it possibly should not have. Though on the surface is appeared that these Sith had appeared out of nowhere, in reality Chyro was behind the scenes as a co-founder of them, as he was with many powerful clans which were rising. He simply had the knowledge of battle in eaw, down to a stunning level, and it gave him all the advantage he ever needed. As clans rose, the first of the wars began with Chyro behind them all, balancing it out. Whenever one clan became too powerful, it would mysteriously experience a sudden rebellion or schism, and fall back into equal status with the rest. What he never counted on however, was the clans growing powerful enough that his influence would no longer be strong enough and reach far enough to keep them all in check. As they spread and grew he found himself stretched thin, watching his creations spiral through generations of members, each time shaving away a little bit more of the traditions that made them what they once were.
Eventually it proved too much for him and he withdrew from it all, and then the clans truly went rampant. Wars escalated to a glorious and truly destructive degree, clans became highly defined, and eventually they all choked each other out of existence. This lasted for many years, and it was at the tail end of this, the final act of the now entirely free Sith, that I appeared. What had lasted years, politics which had gone on both on the surface and in the shadows, were finally coming to an end of such an exterminatus. Little did I know that all the mysteries of my Order, were truly a rich and shocking story. At last however I have the knowledge of it, and have finally shared it with you.
Let us return now to the histories though. Chyro had eventually come out of hiding and attempted to take control once more of the Jedi_ . I had bred it and raised it to be a different beast though from the war machine he'd known. His victories and war strategies meant significantly less to a clan that was fleeing dying EAW. War meant little to a community that's greatest enemy was the endless void of Xfire. As such he had to be confronted and was eventually removed from power once more, though at a grave cost.
It was at this time that I had moved from a different state and couldn't quite afford to hook up internet again. The Jedi_ were left caught in a schism between ancient Chyro and new Wolf Eyes and Lelouch. It was the new versus the old, and something was bound to break. I'd given my followers ample warning about my departure, but when a system follows your lead so thoroughly for so long, and you cut the head off of it, they tend to do poorly. Though the Jedi_ bravely resisted Chyro's war mongering efforts, it drove them into a great paranoia. When I finally returned my healthy and strong Order had become greatly weakened due to this strife, and everyone was terrified of the rise of another Chyro. When I attempted to show them the flaws in the hastily made system of leadership they'd adopted, they turned on me like rabid animals and fled, seeing not Dark Ace, but a ghost of power thirsting Chyro. The Jedi_ Order was left in ruins, and has remained as such until this day.
It has been long, and the ghosts of these events still flicker before my eyes as if they occurred just yesterday. I have learned much in this time, and have adjusted my teachings as such. I still believe in the Council, but I have realized that there needs to be one who can be looked to for guidance and comfort, such as a chaplain or a mentor. Since not many play the Warhammer 40k series I won't call this position Chaplain, instead I shall call it Mentor, for that is who all Jedi_ seek in their times of trouble. A Mentor shall be one set slightly outside the council by time in the Order and wisdom gained. They will not be an actual council member, rather they shall be treated like a highly respected shaman or wise man, an elder. It is they who will look both to our distant future and our ancient past, and will council their chosen champion of the council to continue the Jedi_ ways, and one day replace each Mentor as they pass from gaming.
For now I, Altair DarkAce, shall be that mentor. Ancient am I, but my blade bites just as deeply as it used to. I have seen countless wars, and kept these records to show that a clan can survive the grinding of time. Though one day I too will pass from gaming, in the deepest recess of my heart I have been, am, and shall always be, a Jedi_ Mentor.

It is they who will look both to our distant future and our ancient past, and will council their chosen champion of the council to continue the Jedi_ ways, and one day replace each Mentor as they pass from gaming.
For now I, Altair DarkAce, shall be that mentor. Ancient am I, but my blade bites just as deeply as it used to. I have seen countless wars, and kept these records to show that a clan can survive the grinding of time. Though one day I too will pass from gaming, in the deepest recess of my heart I have been, am, and shall always be, a Jedi_ Mentor.
