Character of the Month - January 2026 - Voting!

[WelshPsych]

Here are your nominations for January 2026's Character of the Month!

Down below are the nominations that gave some reasons why these people are deserving of the title:

I would love to nominate Dominique Vexx !

The writer has an awesome collection of great characters that I enjoy reading, and each one is distinct and unique with its own voice (Naniti Runi Kuryida to name another few!). It is always refreshing and exciting to read their threads regardless of the character, but Dominique holds a special place in my heart <3

Some examples of roleplays:

1)The Price of Order | GE & THR | Corellia & Hosnian Prime
2) Black Mire Part II [THR]
3) A Winter's Blessing | THR Life and Name Day Thread [Resource Hex]
4) The Clone Zone
5)[A Surprise; But A Welcome One [High Republic Senate]


Question:
If you could Cosplay as one of your characters, which one would it be?

I would like to nominate Lysander von Ascania!

They have been all over posting like crazy and putting out some fantastic stories with various writers. The personal story has also been compelling and enjoyable to see how the character has developed through it all!

Question: What has been the highlight of writing the character?

I would like to nominate Varin Mortifer. Being that he is (relatively) new to the forum, I've watched him bloom not only as a writer, but as a character too and it has been just an awesome journey to witness (and in some cases be a part of!). He went from 100 posts to over 500 in just a couple of months, and has participated in many events across a handful of factions. His stories/posts are always enjoyable to read, and they are very immersive and really pull you in. I am super proud of him and I think he deserves some recognition for his hard work (and bravery to step outside his comfort zone!).

Question: What is your character's most memorable moment on the forum?

I nominate Aether Verd for character of the month.

He's a well-written complex character, neither hero nor villain. It's been fantastic to read.

Question: What would your character have in their pockets?

I agree with all of the above. I'd like to add one more who has really jumped out to me over the last few months: Adelle Bastiel

An extremely nuanced Mandalorian, an onion that Aurelian and those around THR and ME are just getting to peeling back and discovering things about. Former Jedi turned Mandalorian who is now finding family and purpose while dealing with her past is just a pleasure to get to read. If you ever get the chance to write with Adelle, i'd highly recommend.

Threads:
Tiny Umbrellas - Laid back Adelle, my first introduction.
Feast of Iron and Honor - Adelle getting her butt kicked in Jousting.
A Winter's Blessing - Adelle getting her butt kicked in both an axe and archery comp.
Eye of the Tiger - Little bit of that onion peeling.
Solving the Mandalorian Question - Adelle stepping up as a leader.

Question:
What would be one IC Star Wars conspiracy theory your character believes?

I'd like to nominate Varin Mortifer for Character of the Month.

Over the last month, Varin has consistently impressed me through grounded, thoughtful writing and strong collaborative energy. Every thread we've shared has felt purposeful and balanced, with Varin bringing emotional weight, restraint, and presence without ever overshadowing the scene or the characters around him.

What stands out most is how naturally Varin advances the story with others rather than alongside them. Our interactions have pushed both of our characters forward in meaningful ways—emotionally, narratively, and thematically—without forcing outcomes. There's a strong sense of intention behind Varin's choices, and his responses always feel considered rather than reactive.

Relevant threads:

• https://www.starwarsrp.net/threads/where-shadows-learn-to-linger.201926/
• https://www.starwarsrp.net/threads/the-way-you-lean-in.202584/

Each of these threads highlights Varin's ability to handle quiet moments, tension, and character growth with care and consistency. He's been active, engaged, and a genuinely excellent writing partner throughout the month.

Question for Varin:
Looking ahead, what do you see as Varin's endgame—not in terms of power or position, but in terms of who he ultimately wants to become?

Good luck to everyone!!!
