Most, though not all, species have some connection to the Force. However, some are more sensitive than others. Typically, Force sensitivity is an inherited trait, passed down through generations of Force users, but it can appear in others without warning. In the days of the Jedi, Force-sensitive beings were usually discovered at an early age and taken to the Jedi temple to learn the ways of the Force. Those days are gone. Under the Galactic Empire, Force users are hunted down and destroyed, or sometimes corrupted by Darth Vader and the Emperor to embrace the dark side. A Force-sensitive being has to learn how to use the Force on his own. This can often be a painful process that takes a great deal of dedication, as well as trial and error, to grasp even an inkling of understanding about the Force. Without proper training, such beings rely on will and instinct to guide them through their journey They possess powers they barely understand, and thus risk falling to the dark side without even realizing it. Thus a Force user must keep his connection to the Force a secret, only divulging his abilities to those few he knows he can trust.
Although almost any individual could theoretically be Force sensitive, it is an exceedingly rare quality, and no PC may start as a Force sensitive. Instead, an individual may receive indication or hints from an admin in time which may lead them to the conclusion that they may have a connection to the Force. How this player then chooses to act on that realization is entirely up to them. There are no specific circumstance which will be outlined as criteria to become Force sensitive, players are simply expected to roleplay their characters as they would normally, until such a time as they may receive these hints or indications. There is no guarantee that being Force sensitive could result in one becoming a Jedi, Sith or even particularly well-trained. Some individuals may realise their Force sensitivity, and simply rely on it as an extra trick up their sleeve of sorts, never particularly seeking further training. However, being Force sensitive does make you a major target for the Empire, or even other Force sensitives, it is a dangerous life, and equal parts a blessing and a curse.
