I'm much more of a damsel, but if this were a book, I'd read it!! It sounds intriguing. (I'll delete my comment if you'd rather not have me post it here!)Story Seed:
She kissed him biting his lip before saying, "Poor boy, you thought I was some damsel in distress that needed saving, and you my knight in shining armor to rescue me. But the truth is I want to be here. I like who I am, and that's not the poor pitiful little innocent princess you have in your fantasies. You are not the hero of this story, boy. You are the damsel that's imprisoned, and me. Well, I've always been the mother fucking monster." With that she closed the handcuffs around his wrists and turned to leave him alone in the room he only now realized had always been meant to be his dungeon cell. She blew him a kiss behind her as she pulled the door shut and the lock sounded closed sealing his fate.

I have a scifi villianess that the dialog would fit perfectly because of her history and how people outside of her bloodline view her till they learn better.
Star Wars: Saga of the Old Republic; Backstory idea
Along time ago in a galaxy far far away the Galaxy is breathing a sigh of relief after 16 years of a terrible war between the Galactic Republic assisted by the Jedi Order and the Sith Alliance. The Sith a loose alliance of masters of the darkside were united by a powerful and charismatic leader, Darth Charron. This new alliance of Sithlords made a surprise lightning campaign against their old enemies the Jedi and Republic conquering large swaths of the galaxy. that was until the Republic was able to rally its navy and Jedi heroes rushing to the front while the council was deadlocked in debate between the warhawks and pacifists. the fighting was fierce for several long bloody years with the front line passing hands several times a year. Many heroes on both sides fell. Eventually a war of attrition began to tell. The Jedi order was being decimated. At the current casualty rate the Jedi willing to defend the Republic and fight the war would be less than a hundred and the Republic would soon after be on its knees.
Then while leading a deep strike to the Republic capital of Coruscant Darth Charron was assassinated by his fellow Sithlords who were jealous and fearful of his growing power. With the death of their leader the Sith Alliance shattered and the council of masters no longer trusted one another to continue fighting alongside the former brothers.
The galaxy now holds its breath as a state of a tenuous cease fire exists. The Sith have turned their attention to each other as each master seeks to gain enough power to seat his or herself on Darth Charron's throne. The treachery and plotting between them has kept them at each other's throats as betrayals beget new alliances begetting new betrayals and so on and on. Such is the way of all who follow the darkside.
The Republic's economy is a ruin with many systems in open defiance of Coruscant with many withholding tax revenues to build up their own sector defense forces. No one trusts the weak Supreme Chancellor or the ossified Senate on Coruscant to be able to lead or protect them if the Sith turn their eye back to conquest. Many former Republic systems still lie under Sith dominion, their population forced into brutal slave labor. They work and suffer day after day hoping tomorrow will bring the Republic fleet and the Jedi to liberate them from their plights.
The Jedi, once the guiding light within the galaxy, is fractured perhaps beyond repair. The war has cost them greatly Once counting tens of thousands now a barely more than fourteen hundred, and many of those belonged to the pacifist faction that sat out during the fighting. They retreated away from the mundane and murky politics of Coruscant and the Republic to the old temple on Ossus. There they focus inward meditating daily on discerning the true will of the force before acting. The pro-war faction of Jedi still fight on, albeit covertly, staging commerce raiding to stall the growing might of this Sithlord's or that Sithlord's war machine, gathering intel often to leak to rival Sith to maintain the fractured state the Sith Alliance is in, and sometimes every once in a while, if it is within the will of the force, they can free a system long enough from Sith control to evacuate as many citizens back across the lines to the Republic. However some ardor for fighting the darkside has forced them into making decisions that some would say straddle the line into darker territory than a Jedi should walk.
For Smugglers, pirates, mercenaries, bounty hunters, and overall scoundrels the state of the galaxy is a boon to business. The law is ineffective or distracted. The black market is the only way to get day to day goods in many systems. It's a great day to be a slightly dishonest business entrepreneur. And there's no shortage of wealthy people willing to hire or invest in an up and coming less then strictly legal business venture...even the once goody goody Jedi are willing to pay good credits for aid in still fighting their war against the Sith. It's true what they say war does make for strange bunkmates, but credits are credits as they also say.

I intend this to be either a group thread or a one on one based on the interest I get in it, and I haven't decided if I'm gonna put this in the SRP forum or the ORP forum either.
But bascally just on the interest of my cowriter(s) this will be a thread based on the politics of a Republic trying to get its act back together, or A Sithlord's rise to claim Darth Charron's throne and relaunch the offensive to destroy the pitifully weak Jedi and Republic, Or a story of Jedi uniting as finally one order to defeat the darkside and restore balance to the force, or maybe a few scum of the galaxy just trying to live long enough in the madness of war and ruin to come to get as filthy stinking rich as they can.
