I had an interesting thought as I was sleeping last night about each character's personality that I've written and am going to write. A while back, I gave my interpretation of the Mass Effect characters character arcs across the trilogy, and I though about what the arcs of my SWTOR Character Tales characers would be. Here's what I came up with, and I'd like to see how well this has come across, or in the case of those who have had little screen time, will come across in the future.
Ragdat: Warrior for a cause. Ragdat loves to fight, but he'd always felt hollow without a reason TO fight. Darth Vich gave him a purpose, and after that, the Jedi Order. And being named a Battlemaster has given a true purpose; he is the restless defender of peace, though he will never experience it himself. He will fight for those who cannot defend themselves, and spend his every waking moment in preparation for the next battle.
Vedere: Wisdom beyond her years. A lifetime of preparation to join the Jedi Order, as well as what she had learned on Katarr and many other places have made people, Vedere herself sometimes, forget how young she is. She has counseled many in her short time in the Order, and cares for all those who come to her in time of need. That said, she's still barely an adult, and has not had all the time she's needed to hone the skills she needs to survive her coming trials.
Adaso: Dark Paladin. Holding to a strict code of honor and carrying a concept of chivalry, Adaso uses his power in service of his house, his Empire and his Emperor in that order. He cares for those under his charge, but will not hesitate to punish them if they displease him. And he will bring down vengeance upon those who would dare strike against anyone who would dare hurt those he's pledge to.
Darth Nox: Successful ambition. Darth Nox never thought that her craving for more would ever be sated, but the Sith Empire has done so. They give her a chance at power, at status, at wealth, and she has greedily taken everything she's been given, and more. But that's still not enough for her sensibilities. She's succeeded at every point when it came to what she'd craved as a slave, so she sees no reason to stop now that she has everything.
Maircus: Law man. Maircus has never liked seeing criminals hurt people, and he's liked seeing them go free even less. So he's taken his titles of Mandalore's Chosen, Grand Champion of the Great Hunt, Republic Federal Marshall and Slayer of Darth Tormen and is using them to do what he set out to do as a bounty hunter in the first place; to be the figure that can cross any border, to go to any planet and bring down anyone who would harm the innocent, whether they are Sith, Jedi, Hutt or just some dumb thug who thinks they have have that right.
And here's the final picture for him; the armor set that I was looking to get when I found the Mando Hunter armor, but was just outside my price range at the time. Now, he's finally got the shoulder pads and jetpack I wanted at the start!
Amelisan: Humanity in the face of warfare. Amelisan is tough. Vowing to bring down the Sith Empire, she's steeled herself for battle over the years she's been fighting. And she's good at it; she's taken down targets that no other soldier would dream of and many of her commanders thought impossible. But inside, she's still the the girl that lost everything that mattered to her during the Sacking of Coruscant, and she's been trying to fill the void ever since.
Curoda: Caught in the winds of destiny. It seems that no matter what you've done since Arwen got sick, it's always led you into something else. Nok Drayen's Treasure, the Voidwolf, Pirate Queen, and now the Alliance, Curoda has always felt that she's not really in control of her fate. However, she's not letting that, or anything else, get her down. She's doing what she can with the hand that fate has dealt her, and does some good with everything she's got.
Allisani: Anti-human spymaster. After what the Empire did to her combined with their disdain of non-humans, Allisani has really built up a distaste for that species. She feels she must protect the rest of the galaxy from them, and to free them from human oppression. But that doesn't mean she won't give them a chance as individuals. But she's met very few that have gotten through her distaste for humanity.
Colmallus: Educated Loyalty. Colmallus, while no longer actually part of his brother's house, still wants to see him succeed. And that means two things; giving him forces to command and advising him. Somethimes, whether Adaso likes your advice or not. And even though he was named heir for a reason, you're not going to let him make a stupid mistake with your family's name in any way, shape or form.
Vizhdam: Great Protector. Vizhdam has seen enough pain in this galaxy to know that people need to be able to defend themselves. He trains the members of the Jedi Order in lightsaber combat, those outside the Order with blasters, and defends those who do not have the ability to take up a weapon. Special care has gone to his childhood friend Vedere, who, while very experienced in use of the Force in combat, is far from the best duelist.
Chas'Raan: Success despite inferiority complex. Chas'Raan has spent all her life trying to live up to her own standards, but she just can't reach them sometimes. She lacks the ability to use the Force for for telekinesis, so she must rely on her armor, lightsaber and her unique ability of energy absorption, which has made her a great defender of others. But even with all that she's done, even with all the people she's helped and the battles she's won, she still doesn't feel that she's doing enough. And she will never stop trying.
Tavella: Dark researcher. Tavella cares nothing for the politics of the Sith. The only thing that excites her passions is the eternal quest for knowledge. But just because she's sedate does not mean she rejects the Dark Side. Far from it; some of the things she's been interested in require extensive knowledge of the Dark Side in order to utilize and understand.
Gentugo: I really have nothing for him.
I'm going to break this into the three universes, because this post is rather long. Tell me if these characters have come across as I've posted, and if they aren't, I'll make an effort to showcase their mindset a little better. This obviously doesn't mean much for the "side characters", since they'll be better developed when KOTFE finally rolls in.
For now, stay beautiful freaks!
