Public Character of the Month - August 2026

[WelshPsych]

Summer is coming to an end and at least where I am, I cannot be more thankful that fall is around the corner, however, hopefully everyone had a fantastic August and Summer! I know we got one invasion ongoing and another one coming up soon but I wanted to do this now before we are all deep in the invasion season! Looking forward to seeing all the nominations, the threads that they have been a part of and who will be the character of the month for August 2026!!

Rules are as following:

• Nominate a character that is not of your writing that has impressed you in the last month.
• Give the reasons why.
  • Please include thread links for others to see why you love the character so much.
• You may nominate someone that has already been nominated, they will be listed once in the voting stage and the reasons combined into one.
• This is for In Character stuff.
• During the nomination step, you must ask the winner a question for your nomination to count. Yes, that means in this thread, along with the nomination also put a question for the eventual winner, ya scamp.
• During the voting, please limit yourselves to one vote.
• Character must have been active in the last month to qualify, would be great if you would keep it to the last months exploits too.
• Characters can only win once.
• Please do not nominate Staff.
• One week to nominate. Approximately.

* Character may not reign as Character of the Month for an exact month. You will live.

Will state this again here: You MUST ask a question. The last few months, people seem to keep forgetting that and then their nominations don't count.

Let's see who will join our previous winners: Lodd Grimmin | Marlon Sularen | Darth Malum of House Marr | Corazona von Ascania | Jenn Kryze | Darth Caedes | Roman Vossari | Naamino Zuukamano | Micah tol Powl | Diarch Rellik | Lorn Reingard | Her | Azurine Varek | Darth Anathemous | The Madclaw | Caltin Vanagor | Xeykard | Koda Fett | Aiden Porte | Acier Moonbound | Aren D'Shade | Madrona A’Mia | Adelle Bastiel | Bastila Sal-Soren | Reina Daival | Varin Mortifer | Revna Marr | Arris Windrun

 

[The Madclaw]

I nominate Sophelia Ardemark

Why: currently contending for poster of the month, with solid and realistic character development and impactful stories across a variety of threads.

A thread link: https://www.starwarsrp.net/threads/outbound-flight-the-jaws-of-defeat.207385/page-4#post-2601910

Question: what gave you the idea for your character? Does the art or the personality come first?

 

[Ronhar Tane]

I'd like to nominate R'ayne Asara for both the numerous threads they've participated in and the amazing worldbuilding they've been doing with the character! I'm really looking forward to your duel in A Spicy Situation.

My question: What does your character think will happen to them after they die? Are they very religious?

 

[Rin Taal]

I'd like to nominate Muad Dib for Character of the Month.

Over the last month, writing opposite Muad Dib has helped me develop what was essentially a brand-new character into someone far more fleshed out than I ever expected in such a short time. Between the two of us, I think we've practically written a novel at this point, and I don't think Rin would have developed into the character she is now without everything that has happened between her and Muad.

What I've particularly enjoyed is that the development hasn't come from one specific kind of thread. There has been adventure, danger, humor, quieter character moments, family, history, worldbuilding, and a relationship that neither character really expected when everything started. Muad has given Rin someone she can challenge and be challenged by, while also opening up opportunities to explore parts of her history, personality, family, and connection to Veradune that I hadn't really had the chance to develop before. Their interactions have made me stop and think about who Rin actually is rather than simply what she can do, and that has been incredibly fun to write.

Muad himself has also been fascinating to read throughout all of it. There is an enormous amount of history behind a character who has been written for so many years, but that history doesn't overwhelm what is happening in the present. You can see the weight of the life he's lived in the way he reacts to people and situations, while he can still be ridiculous, funny, frustrating, vulnerable, thoughtful, and surprisingly tender. Getting to slowly uncover those different sides of him through Rin has been one of my favorite parts of writing this past month.

The fact that we've managed to carry their story across several threads without it feeling like we're simply repeating the same interactions is probably the biggest compliment I can give. Every thread has added something new to both characters and their relationship, and somewhere along the way what started as two characters meeting turned into a story I have become genuinely invested in seeing unfold.

Threads:

And my question for the eventual winner:

After all the years you've spent writing your character, is there anything about the character, their development, or story that you would go back and change if you could?

 

[Aurelian of Vandemar]

I would like to nominate Ronhar Tane .

Not only because he is an absolute blast to chat with, an all around positive guy with an aura like a brilliant golden retriever, but also because in the threads the character is active, he stuns with an equal amount of passion, depth and simplicity that offers an easy to read style and strong immersion. I have no idea how he is pulling so much content while also leading a faction, now even major, but he does and that deserves some well earned respect.

If it is warposting in threads like A Spicy Situation, some over the counter chit-chat, or some amazing worldbuilding he does and has done for Mahporeem - there are many more threads he has been in in the last months that have shown a great variety of his outstanding writing and commitment to Captain Ronhar Tane and how that character can interact with absolutely anyone in almost any environment and not lose any immersion. A well writing Imperial-junkyard-spacer-soldier that deserves more attention.

My question: What does the future hold for the character? Will they rise high in Mahporeem? Will they withdraw and live some chill life off of war and duty?
