Jar Jar Binks is the Avatar of Cthulu. He needs to be killed thirteen times, preferably by a light saber (although anything will do) as sabers grant him more power on coming back. Once he is killed the thirteenth time, he manifests and takes over the Dark Side of the Force. Now the Dark Side is not just hatred, and fear, and anger, its also mind-melting insanity! with new additional reality-warping powers.
Also, the light side starts to get corrupted.
Binks Power Gain Table (only if killed by a light saber–and his last time he must be killed by a saber).
1. Gain Force Ability (one basic force ability like ‘sense disturbance’). If this is his first time, he is now capable of learning saber, and Sith tricks.
2. Gain physical prowess (such as become a basic blaster shot, or learn to dodge, or learn to use saber if #1 prerequisite is passed).
3. Gain political status (rises from adviser to powerful where he starts to minor senator to important senator to vice-chancellor).
4. Gains new weapon (blaster, saber, fighting staff, double saber…in that order.)
5. Becomes more physically powerful (stronger, quicker, more agile…in that order)–two ‘strongers’ would make him superhuman.
6. Gain Lovecraftian ability (cause dementia if look into eye, cause despair, teleport, cause world to decay, summon shrieking bit of insanity being to attack random target…in that order).
7. Gains nothing.
8. Roll twice. #7 blocks both choices if rolled once.
9. Random Jedi comes by and slaughters him. He’s now one step closer to his thirteen.
10. GM’s choice.
Lastly, Senator Palpatine is a good guy. He’s really nice. Problem is, he’s in way over his head, and he’s the puppet of his private secretary who is the Lord of the Sith.
If Cthulu manifests, everyone on Coruscant goes stark, staring nuts. Either that, or the Dark Side is permanently warped. If number one happens, the sheer unpredictability of Cthulu has him evaporating back into his home reality. If number two happens, then there is a vast uptick in completely absurd and hateful actions over the whole galaxy.
