    Character Profile Worksheet


    Basic Statistics

    Name: Brodaeus "Brodey" Narundi


    Age: 16-23 (depending on the part of the story)


    Nationality: N'aanwarian


    Hometown: Freedom City, N'aanwaria


    Current Residence: Academy dorm room #105


    Occupation: Spoiled rich brat (crown prince)


    Income: Whatever daddy or his uncle Kahl'aan will give him


    Talents/Skills: Combat skills, followed by telekinesis, mind manipulation, and an assortment of forbidden dark-side tricks


    Salary: Initially nothing, followed by mere pocket change from seedy jobs like dealing spice and smuggling


    Birth order: Technically first, but he has an adopted older brother


    Siblings (describe relationship):

    Ch'aanlei (Ch-ahn-lee) - Older brother by seven years. Brodey hates him because he's the perfect son that his parents always wanted him to be. And because he's always snooping around, trying to pick Brodey up for doing something illegal.

    Ericho - Younger brother by four years. Brodey doesn't mind this kid because he's cute, funny, and just a kid. Besides the occasional pestering for attention, Ericho never did anything to bug him.

    Li'aania - Younger sister by six years and youngest child in family. Acts like it. But Brodey adores his kid sister, in stark contrast to his relationship with his older, pushy brother.


    Spouse (describe relationship): Unmarried as of age 23.


    Children (describe relationship):

    Bel'aanaea (Bell-ah-nay-ah) - Born when he was 20, this child is a major factor in the development of Brodey's moral character. She helps him gain some perspective of the sort of difficulties his parents had with raising him and keeping him safe. Her birth also makes it painfully obvious that he needs to grow up, take responsibility, and open himself up to others for help and guidance in raising her.


    Grandparents (describe relationship):

    Two grandfathers, both grandmothers died before he was born:

    Cel'aanaeus (Sell-ah-nay-us) - Father's dad. Seems stuffy to Brodey in later years, and too much like the father he hates.

    R'aa'nlan (Rahn-lan) - The antithesis of his other grandfather. Brodey has always been close to this crass old man, and he's one of the few good influences in his life during his troubled later-teenage years. He also plays a major role in Brodey's life in his early 20s, by reaching out to him when he had no direction and getting him back on the right track.


    Grandchildren (describe relationship): - Um, come back to me in another ten years and maybe I'll have some grandchildren to talk about. ;)


    Significant Others (describe relationship):

    Cal'nissa - Teenage flame, lost her to his best friend, Chaa'klan, because he was a little too arrogant for her tastes.

    Sir'tese - Third cousin on his mother's side. Used to make fun of her for being slightly overweight and unpopular, but he realizes she's not so bad after a lot of fighting when they meet back up as adults.


    Relationship skills: - Very poor. The only thing he's got going for him is looks. Other than that he can be arrogant, jealous, petty, and superficial.


    Physical Characteristics:


    Height: Approximately 2.01 meters


    Weight: 91 kilograms


    Race: Near human


    Eye Color: blue


    Hair Color: white blonde


    Glasses or contact lenses? - Nope


    Skin color: pale white (doesn't tan)


    Shape of Face: Oval, with angular jaw


    Distinguishing features: Six earrings in left ear, four in right, pierced tongue, prosthetic arm from vortex skiing accident.


    How does he/she dress? - In flashy, bright, and expensive capes, tunics, and boots


    Mannerisms: Changes on a dime. Can be polite and formal like he was raised, and can also reject authority and have a potty mouth like a common hoo

    I've read a little of your work, Jae Angel, and I've always loved Brodey! :-D

    Here's mine:

    WARNING: The following information contains spoilers for the Shades of Green trilogy.


    Character Profile Worksheet


    Basic Statistics

    Name: Katalyn Skywalker (Kat Skye)


    Age: Fifteen Standard, Seventeen Tatooinian


    First Appearance: Shades of Green: Interludes


    Race: Human


    Hometown: None. Katalyn was born in the homestead that belonged to her parents just outside the Dune Sea. The nearest town is Anchorhead.


    Current Residence: The lower levels of Coruscant


    Occupation: street rat, sometime-theif


    Income: whatever she can get her hands on


    Talents/Skills: moderate Force-sensitivity, cunning, and con-artistry. adept with machines/droids


    Salary: sporadic


    Birth order: only child


    Siblings (describe relationship): N/A


    Spouse (describe relationship): N/A


    Children (describe relationship): N/A


    Grandparents (describe relationship): N/A


    Grandchildren (describe relationship): N/A


    Significant Others (describe relationship):N/A


    Relationship skills: Extremely sketchy. Katalyn has little contact with people at all, except for those she steals and cons from. She tends to shove people away. Her only friends are Scar (Jeste) and Tap (Morriana), two other orphans whom she saved from a street gang.




    Physical Characteristics: Pale, delicate skin on her face, Mara's delicate features, hands roughened by hard work, and a small scar underneath her chin from a childhood speeder accident.


    Height: Five foot even.


    Weight: 103 lbs


    Eye Color: blue


    Hair Color: red


    Glasses or contact lenses? None.


    Skin color: pale, delicate peach


    Shape of Face: oval


    Distinguishing features: blue eyes and red hair


    How does he/she dress? In whatever she can find. Usually her clothes are oversized, baggy, and rough. To keep from being easily recognized, she covers her hair with a rough, brown snood made of a food sack.


    Mannerisms: She has a recognizably Tatooinian accent and walks with a fake limp to make her "customers" think she's weaker than she is.


    Habits: (smoking, drinking etc.)

    drinks a small bit

    Health: Not good. Malnourishment is a problem. She's far smaller than she ought to be. Her right arm is also infected from a street fight wound that wasn't properly cared for.


    Hobbies: None. She has to fight every day to survive.


    Favorite Sayings: N/A


    Speech patterns: Soft and calm most of the time. Not too loud, unless she gets angry. It can go one of two ways when she's angry. Either her voice can become extra soft-controlled, and deadly-calm (controlled anger) or rise to very loud and then fall deadly-soft (uncontrolled anger)


    Disabilities: None


    Style (Elegant, shabby etc.): Doesn't have anything but her shabby street clothes, but knows that once her great-aunt and before that, her mother, used to keep her clothes neat and clean, with no frills, but not plain, either. She misses it.


    Greatest flaw: Pushing people away


    Best quality: A (slightly warped) sense of right and justice. She defends helpless people, and only does what stealing she does because she would never survive otherwise.



    Intellectual/Mental/Personality Attributes and Attitudes



    Educational Background: Beru Lars taught her letters and numbers up until Owen's death when Katalyn was six. She doesn't have any education beyond that.


    Intelligence Level: Average


    Any Mental Illnesses? None


    Learning Experiences:

    She learned about death when Owen and Beru Lars died of old age.
    She learned to fend for herself when she was placed in a foster home in which the older children were abusive towards her.
    She learned about betrayal when her second foster family abandoned her on the Corellian streets.
    She learned about friendship when she saved Tap and Scar from Mina's gang.

    Character's short-term goals in life: To get enough money to buy a ship.

    Emilie, if Katalyn is malnourished you might want to knock a couple of pounds off.
    And if she's living on the street, her skin wouldn't exactly be in the best condition, so it'd be about as delicate as alligator hide.

    Oh and you spelled thief wrong.

    Well my original OC was one who helped me explore one of my favorite Star Wars Characters Obi Wan Kenobi. Her name is Leanna Rianni and she helped Obi Wan deal with some life issues. She then moved on to my second story and a new character happened to be there. His name being Alec Rianni and he is Leanna's son and I wont mention the father you can figure it out by going and reading my fics. ;)

    My First Fic:
    The Sands Flow By Softly

    Second Fic:

    A Past Unkown

    Oh and more OC's are popping up all the time in this second fic. :D

    Stop on by. :D

    I never indicated her bone size, Ani. For someone with medium-sized bones, 103 could be underweight.

    Thank you for indicating the mispelling. And about the delicate skin--I was talking about her face. Sorry for not being clear enough.

    Sorry 'bout that.

    I measure everything according to my sister who's 4'll and packs muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat.

    Of course, Kat doesn't have that much fat on her body.

    Will be putting up my revamped Cloudia soon.

    Also (I will put in the link soon): I suggest that you all go read Cam_Mulonus's 'Resurgence of Chaos'. It's very long so far, but really, I swear it's worth it. I wouldn't be telling you otherwise.

    Got the link now, for those interested: resurgence of chaos

    Jae Angel, I have a question for you. I've started reading the story that you posted a link to here in this thread, and I read the character profile for Brodey. I want to read more about him, so do you have other stories about him, or with him? And, what is the chronological order to these? I'm a very organized type of person and I like to read things in the order that they happen. So, if the stories featuring him have an order (from like, his teenage years up to his early twenties/older years) I'd like to know.

    Oh, and the story you posted here, I really like it so far.

    This thread is such a great idea! My first fic, set in an AU, had an OC as the main character. I found that although people started reading it, a lot dropped away quite quickly. Don?t know if this was to do with the subject matter (Jedi Romance) or the fact that it was mainly about an OC or whether it wasn?t that good!

    Mia is a padawan learner at the Jedi Temple. She was apprentice to Sifo-Dyas but six months after his disappearance around the time of the battle of Naboo, Qui-Gon (who survived his encounter with Maul) takes over her training. Anakin is taught with the other padawan?s up to the age of 13.

    I wanted to write a handmaiden fic but with a twist, so I made a Jedi a handmaiden, her mission to protect Queen Amidala. Duty was meant to be one story but it turned into a Trilogy.

    1. Duty
    2, After Naboo ? This goes back in time to when Mia was 14 and fills in the gaps of her relationships with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.
    3. Star of Telos ? Takes place a year before the events of Duty. Mia is 17. When Qui-Gon goes missing while trying to discover the fate of Sifo-Dyas, Obi-Wan and Mia race to find him.

    Links in bio.


    Character Profile Worksheet


    Basic Statistics

    Name: Mia

    Age: 14-18

    Race: Human

    Current Residence: Jedi Temple

    Occupation: Padawan Learner/Handmaiden

    Family: Unknown


    Significant Others (describe relationship): Sifo-Dyas - Master
    Qui-Gon Jinn - Master

    Eye Color: Brown

    Hair Color: light brown


    How does he/she dress? ? As a Padawan learner. Except when she is undercover as a handmaiden.

    Health: Severe allergic reaction to Alderaan nectar.

    Favorite Sayings: I don?t think she had any but she did roll her eyes a lot.

    Greatest flaw: Jealous of Anakin and his relationship with Qui-Gon. Tends to think she knows best. Lets her personal feelings get in the way.


    Best quality: Sense of humour. Enjoys teasing Obi-Wan mercilessly.

    Character's short-term goals in life: - To finish her training and become a Jedi.


    Character's long-term goals in life: - To be a successful Jedi.


    How does Character see himself/herself?


    How does Character believe he/she is perceived by others? ? She sometimes worries that she is merely a stop gap for Qui-Gon, until he can train Anakin. She knows that Mace Windu doesn?t fully trust her and thinks that the mysterious disappearance of Sifo-Dyas has cast a shadow over her chances of becoming a Jedi.


    How self-confident is the character?- Sifo-Dyas?s disappearance and his attitude towards training her, left her feeling insecure about her place at the Temple and her chances of becoming a Jedi. The presence of Anakin Skywalker in Qui-Gon?s life adds to these insecurities.


    How does the character deal with anger? ? She takes her anger out on blaster targets. Hence, she is quite a good shot.

    With conflict? ? She tends to pretend it isn?t happening.


    With change? ? She accepts it as best she can and makes the most of it.


    With loss? ? Doesn?t talk about it.


    What does the character want out of life? ? To become a Jedi Knight.


    What motivates this character? ? Strong sense of duty, gratitude to the Council and Qui-Gon that they kept her on.


    What frightens this character? ? Although a Jedi knows no fear, she is terrified of losing Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.


    What makes this character happy? ? Knowing that she is safe and secure with Qui-Gon.


    How the Character is Involved in the Story


    Character's role in the novel (main character? hero? heroine? Romantic interest? etc.): - Mia is the main character/heroine and romantic interest! She is also a team player, all the handmaidens have a role to play during her time on Naboo.

    I think that some of the above makes her seem that she doesn?t have any flaws but she does.

    Scene where character first appears: - On a ship to Tatooine with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

    my first major series was all about OC's in the star wars universe, and i wrote it before njo came out, but then i went back later and i made it so the main oc's, ana and owen solo, were jag and jaina's adult children.

    i'd written so many chapters (i called them books though) but after all, i don't know, i think i got a little discouraged since the series didn't really catch on with people, and i stopped writing about them.

    Adventures of Ana and Owen Solo-Fel: New Young Jedi Knights

    (though only one oc from that series has been popular in my latest jag/jaina series).

    Worst. Roommate. Ever.
    Don't P*ss off the Dark Jedi
    Jaina's Drunken Night
    Jaina's Hungover Morning (still in the process of rewriting)
    Down the Sn'aala Hole We Go
    You're All I've Been Hoping For

    I've got more planned, but not until I finish Sn'aala Hole. ;) And it'll be a while before I tackle something so long by myself. :p

    Hope that helps! :)

    And you read some of my stuff and liked Brodey, Emmi? Awwww shucks. [face_blush]

    I'll give you some details of my charators the next time I come here, though I don't want to reveal too much about them as it would spoil the story a little bit. Hopefully, it might convince a few of you to read it. I know I've been a bit of a cow lately and I sorry if I've upset anyone.
