Author	Topic: The OC swap challenge
Jedi_Linewalker Registered: May '05	Date Posted: 11/25/07 8:34pm Subject: The OC swap challenge
	I was sitting around and thinking that we have a lot of talented writers here with a lot of very interesting and complex OCs running around that could use some extra expsosure. We all enjoy writing, and we obviously enjoy writing about the canon characters. We take them to AU stories, stories that "fill in the gaps" in canon, and everything else in between. What are canon characters but simply George Lucas' original characters that we swap around? So, the idea for this thread and challenge was born. The idea is for people to post information about some of their favorite OCs, and a story/writing sample featuring those OCs so that others can get a feel for what they're like, who they are, and so forth. This way, our characters can get a little bit of the limelight like the canon characters do. Who knows? This challenge may inspire more people to actually read the fics that feature OCs prominently in them? They may even develop a following like the canon and EU characters have. The thrust of this idea is to try and write a well done and good story using someone else's creations. We, as writers, can certainly benefit from watching what someone else does with our babies (our OCs, of course!) and we can often derive new ideas for fics showcasing them as well based on the "fresh perspective" someone else may actually give them. This challenge and idea isn't about taking someone else's characters and "getting back at them" or poking at them by messing with their creations. Not that I think we have anyone here that'd do that, but it needed to be said just the same. No one should post any OCs that they don't want people to attempt to use in a story, obviously. Theoretically, the story should be rather short to start off with (like a vignette or a short story) though I certainly don't object to the idea of someone trying to write a full blown story if they're so inspired to do so. If enough people respond to this challenge, we can even vote on what the best story is, the best interpretation of another author's characters, etc. It could be a lot of fun and an excellent writing exercise all in one. So, if anyone is interested in putting their OCs in for this challenge, please follow this format so that everyone can get the information that they need to write about them. I'd imagine no one would have objections to PMs concerning specifics of their characters, or posting questions about them here on this thread? This is the template for the information, please. Your Name For example, me, Jedi_Linewalker Name(s) and title(s) of OCs As an example, Rinn Ja (Jedi Master), Bjorn Hutch (smuggler) Era of Characters Rise of the Empire Era, PT, OT, etc Example Appearance of OCs This would be the name of the story with a link to it, preferably, but you could post a writing sample with them instead if you wanted Creator Notes About OCs Any notes the creators of the characters could briefly put that may help prospective writers in writing about them would go here, obviously To recap for brevity and simplicity of understanding: The challenge is to take someone else's OCs and write a story showcasing them. The above template is for the creators of the OCs to post information for the prospective writer to use when preparing their story. Everyone is encouraged to share their OCs, but you don't necessarily have to share any in order to participate in the challenge. If the challenge receives enough responses, we'll vote on the best story, the best interpretation of characters and other categories that we deem fit to vote on, if you like. In short, it should be rather fun. Good luck! -----signature----- Jedi Linewalker Proudly Knighted by, and former Padawan of, Rhonderoo For fics, see http://linewalker.0catch.com/fics.html Or see my sock #1 Daran Lightrider http://boards.theforce.net/ASP/user.asp?usr=1324229

	Awesome idea! It will take me a few minutes to get this together but I'm in. I'm nearing completion of a trilogy of stories which is my vision what Star Wars Episodes 7 thru 9 would be like with the next generation of characters. Having spent close to 10 years writting this trilogy, with long pauses between sittings, I have fallen in love with these characters and this new Galaxy that I can't help but see them as part of the Star Wars Galaxy. I can't see myself writting any Star Wars stories without these characters, because I just love to see them grow. After completion, I've been thinking of writting a series of stories, much like the New Jedi Order Series, continuing where Episode IX ends. It ends with the beginning of the Jedi starting their quest to a new level. Of course, I would love to see these characters grow and I would love to see them be used. Well, let me get to work! -----signature----- The New Generation of Jedi: Jedi Generations: Rebirth http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/28502675/p1/?1

	Okay, I'll even put my characters up first. Just to get the ball rolling Your Name Jedi_Linewalker Name(s) and title(s) of OCs Joran Lonon (smuggler), Sola Darklighter (smuggler), Ian Thul (mercenary), Rane Precore (mercenary), Satarn (scoundrel) Era of Characters PT Example Appearance of OCs Thin Lines Creator Notes About OCs Joran is human and an honorable sort, though he tries very hard not to be sometimes, it usually shines through. He's the "reluctant good guy," in a way. Sola, also human, is quick witted and quick mouthed, but she can back up her words most of the time. She's really protective over Joran and tries to look out for him as much as she can. Ian, another human, though scarred, is the leader of a relentless and well known band of mercenaries, and he's often pictured as calculating and cruel. He's known for getting the job done. Very intelligent. Rane, another human, is Ian's right hand man. A nearly savage brute with a reputation for being heartless and without mercy. Not the most intelligent, but not stupid either. Satarn is a Devaronian, and the typical con man. Slick, oily and genuinely deserving of loathing. He's also very preoccupied with pleasures of the flesh. Your Name Jedi_Linewalker Name(s) and title(s) of OCs Sidara Wezz (pilot), Ian Swift (pilot), Kael Jansen (Jedi Padawan), Kayna Skyblade (Jedi Padawan), Kely Corliss (Jedi Master), Javin Salis (Jedi Master) Era of Characters ROTS/Jedi Purges though PT is appropriate Example Appearance of OCs Whisper A Prayer Creator Notes About OCs Sidara is human, and the co pilot of the ship. She's fairly young, and adventurous. Intelligent, but not overly wise. Ian is human and older, near 60 perhaps. He's well traveled and knows the galaxy pretty well. He's a very creative person, able to think of ways out of tough spots pretty easily. Kael is human, and an orphan. His parents were killed not long after he went to the Temple. He's very much a student of the Jedi philosophy, and tends to be level headed. Kayna is human. She's very headstrong and unpredictable, particularly gifted with the Alter aspect of the Force (telekinesis and similar powers). She's intelligent and strong, and often has to rein her emotions in or else they cause her to skirt dangerously close to the Dark Side at times. Very loyal and brave Kely is human and of the same sort of mind that Qui Gon was. She's headstrong and unpredictable, very much an "earthy" type person, meaning she's easy to blend into the more common variety of people. Sharp witted and smart, she's brave and determined. Javin is human and very by the book most of the time. He believes strongly in the Jedi tenets and philosophy. By no means a coward, he will fight when necessary and fight well. Your Name[/b] Jedi_Linewalker Name(s) and title(s) of OCs Jenda Kasille (Jedi Master), Ami Loran (Jedi Padawan), Daran Lightrider (Jedi Knight/Dark Jedi Knight), Rylo Tanner (former Jedi Knight, smuggler) Era of Characters PT Example Appearance of OCs Dark Before the Dawn Creator Notes About OCs Jenda Kasille is human, and a former padawan of Mace Windu. She's exceptionally gifted with combat and is known for being "hauntingly wise." She's usually very calm and serene, on the surface, while beneath, a blazing fire may be burning. Very intelligent and strong willed, also a very determined lady. A wild card. Ami, a human, is somewhat emotional. Prodigiously gifted with the Sense aspect of the Force (being able to see the future, sensing things amiss, etc), she is well known for always being right concerning the visions she sees. At the time of the Purges, she's just becoming to overcome her own self doubt and truly allow herself to open to the Force. Because other masters had said her gift was too strong and unpredictable, she'd been holding back subconsciously. Very brave and determined, though she doesn't see herself that way. Daran is human, and very disturbed within. His ability with the Force is quite advanced, even for his rank, and his skill at combat is said to rival that of Master Windu. Believing that his family hated him and abandoned him, he becomes vulnerable to the proddings of Palpatine during the AOTC era, and eventually embraces the Dark Side wholeheartedly. Always angry and not always knowing why, he's highly unpredictable and tends to fluctuate between wanting to do really good things, and losing himself to the bitterness and anger within until he turns, then he is lost completely. Rylo, a human, is a former Jedi Knight. He is honorable and honest (to a point), despite being a smuggler. His good propensities often get him into places where he is of two minds about things, at best, and torn between what he once would have done and what needs to be done at worst. He will not break the Jedi Code (he still has a firm belief in it). He left the order after being a Knight for ten months because he fell in love and married, and rather than petition the Council for permission to marry, based on his ability to not form attachments, he simply left the order on good terms with the Council. -----signature----- Jedi Linewalker Proudly Knighted by, and former Padawan of, Rhonderoo For fics, see http://linewalker.0catch.com/fics.html Or see my sock #1 Daran Lightrider http://boards.theforce.net/ASP/user.asp?usr=1324229

	Well here is my info. *JUST EDITED* Your Name mrjop2 Name(s) and title(s) of OCs: Jacina Skywalker Mars: (Jedi Knight, Daughter of Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker) Gideon Mars: (Jedi Knight, Husband of Jacina Skywalker, Former Con-artist) Titinya Barkley (Jedi Knight, Former citizen of the Imperial Government, love interest of Anakin Skywalker) Era of Characters POST ROTJ approximately 50 – 75 years later Example Appearance of OCs Example of Jacina: Jacina seemed to gain new strength as she swung for his chest. The Sith swatted her blade away and retaliated with a swing for her neck. Jaina stepped back leaned back to narrowly avoid the tip of his red blade. She used the Force to push the Sith back away from her. The dark lord twirled his duel saber over his head before again attempting to slice her in half at the hip. She swatted the blade and immediately followed up with a powerful swing diagonally downward. The Sith could only remove one of his hands in time for her blade to cut the duel saber handle in half, destroying one half of his weapon. All he had left was a single light saber. The dark lord had to quickly adjust his fighting technique since Jacina was aggressively pressing forward. As she pressed forward, Titinya had to rub her eyes to make sure she was not seeing things, but she could swear that she could see a white light radiating from Jacina. It seemed to outline her body. She could not be sure, because the light was much brighter around her head, but she thought she could see strains of red hair mixed in with her black hair. The harder Jacina fought, the brighter the glow was and the more of her hair that transitioned to red. A move that Jacina had to make to avoid an attack gave Titinya a brief glimps of Jacina’s face. She could swear that instead of the normal crystal-blue eyes, they had turned emerald-green. The enemy noticed the same thing was distracted by it, giving Jacina the opportunity to end the duel right there. Jacina swung her saber and he was too distracted to defend himself. His head rolled off his shoulders as the rest of his body collapsed to the ground. Example of Titinya: “Titinya…I can not be your master, because I am starting to cross the line between the relationship between a Master and an apprentice. I’ve been very selfish and standing in the way between you and my brother. For that, I can only beg for your forgiveness.” Anakin could not read her expression as she looked down at her feet, breathing heavily. She did not respond right away, which added to the awkwardness of the moment. When she looked up again, she had a slight expression of regret or sadness in her face. “I think this is my fault more than it is yours. I must confess I’ve been very confused lately over this very issue. I’ve come to like both of you very much. For putting you through this, I am deeply sorry.” Anakin nodded and looked away. This was for the best. She would be happy with his brother, and at least that brought him some comfort as little as it was. “I hope that your confusion has come to an end now.” “Yes, everything has become much clearer. I believe I know the path the Force is leading me down. I have found myself attracted to Jacen.” Titinya approached Anakin and gently places her hand on the side of his face. “But I have found myself in love with you.” She leaned into him and closed her eyes. Their lips clasped together and together they were lost in each others presence. Example of Gideon Gideon was falling, uncontrollably, down the side of the tower. His arms were waving wildly, hoping against all odds that he was going to get lucky and grab something. His fall was stopped as he landed in the backbench of a privately owned hover car. The Malastarian pilot looked back and waved a fist and curse at him in his native language. Gideon quickly regained his senses and got unto his knees. "Pardon me!" Gideon looked out and saw a constant flow of traffic leading back towards the tower he had fallen out from. He then looked onto the bench besides him and found his light saber that had landed on the seat with him. He grabbed it and locked it into it is place on his Jedi belt. Concentrating hard in the Force, he leapt out of the vehicle and landed in the backseat of a flying transportation heading in the opposite direction. In that transportation, both the pilot and the passenger in the front seat looked back at him in bewilderment. "Pardon me! I’m just passing by." He got into position to leap, as the tower he had been thrown out of was quickly approaching. He had one shot at this and he had to be very sure not to hit the durasteel around the viewports. The odds were highly stacked up against him, since there was more durasteel than there was glass for him to break through. He had to depend on the Force more than he ever had to before. The split second the vehicle started passing the building, he leapt without thinking. His timing in the force had paid off; with his wrists crossed in front of his face and his right knee out in front of him, he crashed through a corridor viewport and landed hard on the hard marble floor, surrounded by shattered pieces of glass. Soldiers that had been in the area stared at Gideon as he slowly hoisted himself up onto his feet. Gideon shrugged. “I bet you don’t see a Jedi flying through a viewport everyday.” These three characters all can be found in the following stories. Star Wars Episode VII: Rise of the Sith (Completed) http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/26986763/p1/?1 Star Wars Episode VIII: Mysteries of the Sith (Completed) http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/27133071/p1/?0 Star Wars Episode IX: Rise of the Chosen One (In Progress) http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/27368902/p1/?7 Creator Notes About OCs My stories ignore some aspects of the novels as you should know by now. All OC’s included ones not listed in in these three stories can be used upon request. When you start your stories, PM me and I would like to read them. If you are interested in helping me continue the galaxy after the trilogy, tell me and let me tell you about important things you may need to know of things that is going to happen. Jacina is the daughter of Luke Skywalker. In the Trilogy that I am nearing complete, we discover that she is the Chosen One prophesied about many milliniums ago. In the Final book of the trilogy, she and most of the Jedi meet the prophets from which the Jedi were born from and learned that the Chosen One will have the full influence and wisdom of the Force which has been limited from the Jedi since the Beginning. The Chosen One will bring the Jedi to a new level of power and ability to protect the Force. In an idea I came up with for a series of stories after the trilogy, by the end of the first story, Jacina will give birth to triplets, two boys and a girl. The girl will be named Jade, but I have not come up with a name for the brothers yet. Jacina and Gideon will agree that the triplets will cary Skywalker as their last names to keep the Skywalker legacy alive. As a teenager, working towards her Knighthood, she was kidnapped and forced against her will to fight in gladiator type fights. Here she became an expert in physical hand-to-hand combat which would increase her dueling skills in the future.Her Family, Luke and Mara and her older cousins, Anakin, Jacen, and Jaina would lead a rescue party to save her, but the rescue would come at the cost of Mara Jade's life. Interesting fact, one of the new powers that only she will be displaying is the ability to change appearances. The most interesting part about this is that she has black hair. When she really flows in the Force, she glows white, and her hair changes automaticly from black to red and her eyes from Crystal Blue to Emerald Green. This in involuntary and happens when she has to really dig deep in using the Force. Voluntarily, she can adjust the length of her hair with just the thought and with concentration, she can make herself look different to anyone who sees her. In a scene that I will be writting in my first story after the trilogy, she is nine months pragnaunt, so she has a huge belly, but she can still turn herself to a skinny elderly lady or a bald female monk like character. Titinya in the trilogy would become the first citizen of the Imperial Government to be accepted and trained as a Jedi Knigh by Anakin Skywalker. During the years of training, Anakin has slowly fallen in love with Titinya and by the end of the trilogy, the two confess their love for each other after a long love trinagle conflict with Jacen being Anakin's competator for her heart. Gideon Mars could be closely compared to Han Solo, but with a wilder background. He was a con-artist who constantly enjoyed conning smugglers of their loot. In the Trilogy, he is rescued by Jacina and by the end of the first book, he becomes sensitive in the Force. The Jedi Council accepts his training to be the Jedi knight and to be betrothed to Jacina Skywalker, but in book two, he becomes possesed by the Sith God, Sithious', Spirit. BY the end of the trilogy, Jacina battles Sithious in his body and kills Sithious and saves Gideon in the process. Despite now being a Jedi Knight, his old life pops up now and then when he makes occasional smart remarks. -----signature----- The New Generation of Jedi: Jedi Generations: Rebirth http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/28502675/p1/?1

DarthIshtar Title: Former CR Registered: Mar '01	Date Posted: 11/25/07 9:24pm Subject: RE: The OC swap challenge
	Your Name DarthIshtar Name(s) and title(s) of OCs Noela Ovorp, Senator of the Republic and Carmyn Delairs, Corellian Ambassador's goth daughter. Era of Characters Before the Saga through Beyond the Saga. Noela dies at the age of 103, 3 years after Luke Skywalker founds the Jedi Academy. Carmyn is active in the local Rebel cells on Corellia. Example Appearance of OCs For Noela, here's one from her later life: When she awoke today, however, there was a different kind of heat. It felt like the warmth of a kindled hope-fire, a caress of warmth rather than an inferno’s blast. She could not remember why, but she knew that that sort of peace had come to her before. “I made dustcrepes, Marme,” her youngest granddaughter called with unnecessary cheer as she left the kitchen. “I know how much you like those for your birthday.” Her birthday. Of course she would remember the stars and forget everything immediately important to her. “I hope you have a hundred of them,” she teased sleepily. “No,” Mere, the one named for her sister and the first daughter who had died in her arms, apologized, “but we have a hundred milligrams of your heart medicine.” “You’re no fun,” Marme Noela groused. “There’s nothing wrong with my heart.” “I know, Marme,” Mere sighed, “but your doctors are worried about you.” “Hmmph,” she grunted. “My heart’s too big and there’s nothing wrong with that, I think. Do you disagree?” “No, Marme,” Mere said quietly, “we don’t mind it at all.” And one from her first appearance: It wasn't like Noela to be late, but given the blizzard that had been developing all day, it was understandable that she would be held up by the inclement weather. He did not, however, anticipate that she would be three hours late so far. There had been a call filled with static and frustration sometime around 1830, which he took to mean that she was on her way, but he'd been unable to reach her ever since. The 23rd Hour, always patient with its longest-standing pair of patrons, had agreed to push back the reservation every half hour, but the exhibition was obviously no longer a viable option. Nevertheless, he would treat her with all propriety...the moment she arrived. While he waited, he poured two glasses of the Alderaanian green wine that she had presented to him on his birthday last year. The wait would give the liquor time to breathe and improve the flavor. He had just recorked the carafe when the chime rang. Stretching out with the Force, he ascertained that it was Noela in a very foul temper. He waved a hand at the door release, then retrieved both glasses and crossed to the entryway to give her one. Noela was definitely one of the more attractive Senators ever elected in the Republic, with a thick plait of golden-brown hair falling to her waist, narrow features and blue eyes that always seemed to look amused. She was an impeccable dresser and took pains to look elegant. Tonight, however, the Noela he knew was replaced by something looking and sounding vaguely like a drowned vrelt. "I tried to comm," Noela stammered through chattering teeth, "but we were broken down in the middle of the worst comm interference and there wasn't much time, between fixing..." He cut her off by pulling her into a tight embrace and not letting go until the warmth of his arms had lessened the shivering a bit. "Don't worry," he said quietly. "You can warm up here and I'll call the 23rd Hour. They've been holding our reservation." She pulled back, nodding. "I'm not sure we'd make it before closing," she lamented. "It's a nightmare out there and I was just coming from a few kilometers away." Glancing out the window at the blinding snow, he frowned. "You may be right," he conceded, "so let me see what I can do." "What should I do?" His eyes scanned over the open door to Obi-Wan's room. "I'd offer you a change of clothes from my own closet, but the slacks are probably twice as long as yourself, so I think you could avail yourself of something in Obi-Wan's closet. The 'fresher has a hot shower and clean towels..." She shook her head with a slightly unreadable smile, then stretched up to kiss his cheek. The spot burned unexpectedly under the touch and he arched an eyebrow at her retreating form. “What was that for?” “Being nice to a drowned vrelt,” she called over her shoulder. Sometimes, he swore that the woman could read minds. For Carmyn: It was a rare thing to see Mace Windu in a panic, but then again, it was rare to find him being accosted by a seven-foot furball. Well, perhaps accosted wasn't the right word, but certainly fawned over. Nevertheless, it was highly amusing to watch, but Obi-Wan didn't dare mention that to the man who had invented the most aggressive form of lightsaber combat. The Wookiee, he had heard, was a famous concert miniature kloo-player, but you would have never guessed it. As it was, she seemed to be quite taken with Master Windu, but he looked as though he were being asked to do the breaststroke through a cesspit. Not that he wasn't being a gentleman--Master Windu was known for being quite personable when he made the effort--but he definitely was afraid of returning the aggressively affectionate advances of his date for the evening. He had wanted to shrink into his seat to avoid being noticed by the happy couple--or rather the happy Wookiee and the terrified Korun--but Carmyn had chosen the exact moment when they had become engrossed (or grossed out) by the holopic to chuck a handful of tchak-nuts at Master Windu's head. "Oi!" she bellowed. "Boloball!" The worst thing was that Master Windu actually responded to the slur. "Get your walking carpet to slouch a little, will you?" Obi-Wan chose to stare straight at his popphraig bucket, apparently fascinated by a burnt one. "This is a Galaxy-renowned musician, not a walking carpet," Mace said sternly. "If this is an inconvenience..." "You're Sithin' right it's an inconvenience," Carmyn snorted. "Right, Obi-Wan?" He mumbled something along the lines of "burbleburbleI'mnotgettinginvolvedinthisburbleburble" and took her hand. "Carmyn," he said quietly, "there are plenty of other seats in the theater. We can certainly..." "Expect these latecomers to occupy those," she finished. "Just whip out your lightsaber and scare them off if you have to..." He had the feeling that there would be lightsabers involved in the near future, but not in their intended capacity. "I'm sure that's not nec..." And then the Wookiee threw herself across the seats at his date. Too stunned to move, he was about to use the Force on both of them when they burst out laughing. From his limited understanding of Wookiee, he guessed that Mace's date was saying something about the look on his face while Carmyn was choking on laughter about boloballs. "I guess," she said at last, gasping for breath, "that I never introduced you to my mother's best friend..." Creator Notes About OCs Noela is a grand old lady of the Republic, who grew up in a powerful family and has been Qui-Gon's best friend since they were subjected to a blind date with each other at the age of 15. She is a Senator who eventually married an actor who looks like Qui-Gon named Liam. She is very loyal to her family and fiercely strong-willed. Most importantly, she was created to never, ever, ever be Qui-Gon's love interest. She proves that there can be a friendship with an attractive man that has very little to do with hormones. Carmyn is an Ambassador's daughter who can be very diplomatic when she wants to, but is a goth and like Nexu Guillotine. She is fearless, fuchsia-haired and an odd friend of Obi-Wan Kenobi's. She pursues humanitarian and seditious acts later on in life. -----signature----- "I feel like a more down-to-earth Pink 5 when I'm writing Leah.

	Don't mean to have two posts back-to-back, but I'm already drawing plans for a series of stories that takes place after the trilogy I am finishing up. It takes place about 60 - 75 years after ROTJ. If anyone has characters from that time period to swap, I would gladly include them into the new series of stories. I'm still trying to come up with a new enemy that will threaten the galaxy for the series. I'm thinking about a race of beings similar to the Yuuzhan Vong. -----signature----- The New Generation of Jedi: Jedi Generations: Rebirth http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/28502675/p1/?1

	My characters seem to be civilians, or at least not Force sensitive at all XP Your Name: Kecen Name(s) and title(s) of OCs: Grizhabel'd (former Yuuzhan Vong funeral worker, now a member of a darkwave band), Horace Blumly and the Blumly family (a group of four Devlikk Hobos), Vuolasi and Blartagh (two Kaleesh jester/cabaret musicians parodying Ronderu and Qymaen, dressed like the Dresden Dolls). Era of Characters: Post NJO Example Appearance of OCs: Yun-Yammka in Escrow Creator Notes About OCs: Devlikks don't live long. Horace talks really really fast and relies on body language to communicate. The Blumly family is like a hive mind. They take the odd job to buy skittles and like to catch hawk bats for food. Grizhabel'd is Horace's idol. She wears clothing she pilfered from abandoned department stores, having lived on Coruscant for over 15 years after the war. She was recruited into a band called the Voidgazers because her former occupation as funeral dirge composer and her status of being a Yuuzhan Vong was admirable by the band leader (who wanted publicity), even though she's just another worker. Grizhabel'd works at a holographic museum of improbable organisms, and keeps the hologram projectors working (but still finds hologram projectors to be icky). She lives in an apartment in a less high-tech part of town. Her neighbors think she is weird because she wears a neon pink trenchcoat to work, not knowing better. She also likes skittles. She's a competant songwriter but her lyrics are silly. Blartagh and Vuolasi complete each others' sentences. They hate gender pronouns and blanket terms applied to species. They like to sing and stare and preach against the warlords of their home planet (from a safe distance...). They once pricked off Grizhabel'd at a party while visiting Coruscant to see the publicity stunt. images: Grizhabel'd In the trenchcoat with a Devlikk on head, Headshot, Full Body Blartagh and Vuolasi The resemblance is superficial, I swear -----signature----- "Thank you for the warning, but I still see the sun," "A little Vongforming never hurt no one!"

	Your Name: RossN Name(s) and title(s) of OCs: Rian Shan Ro (prince), Thais Kar (political/personal assistant), Doran Skelt (spy) Era of Characters OT and early New Republic (pre-Thrawn) eras. Example Appearance of OCs: Darkness on Daram Creator Notes About OCs: Rian Shan Ro A human male in his mid-20's, Rian is Prince of Daram III, a rich and important world (well moon actually) in the Core in the years just after the Battle of Endor. He is handsome, vain and a little arrogant who fancies himself a charming ladies man. Unfortunately he is not nearly as clever as he thinks he is (or at least likes people to think he is), a little indecisive and rather weak minded. Has had a crush on Leia for years, but they only met recently (and she has married Han). Thais Kar A Twi'lek female in her early 20's. Personal assistant to Prince Rian (see above), on whom she has a major crush (he is clueless). Beautiful, fashionable and more than a little neurotic. Good natured and a bit of an airhead. Doran Skelt Clever, amoral Imperial spy. Non descript appearance - is a master at 'vanishing' into crowds. Formerly a true believer in the Empire, he has become pretty jaded these days, dislikes is subordinates (especially Zon Kerann, a Human-Theelin female who is a superb assassain but a sullen moron at everything else). Willing to sell information in secret, but his sense of professionalism means he will still do his job for the Empire well enough. The story these characters appear in is still in progress, so naturally they may well undergo changes. At the moment though that is all that you need to know if anyone wants to use them. PM me if anyone has any questions. -----signature----- “For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'.” ~ John Greenleaf Whittier Darkness on Daram: http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/27776590/p1/?12
