Public Character of the Month - March 2026 - Nominations

[WelshPsych]

Happy Spring everyone!

Hope you all had a great March everyone! It is time to do our nominations once again and I am looking forward to seeing all the fantastic threads and nominees this time!

Here are the rules as always -

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 , and our winner from last month Bastila Sal-Soren !

 

[Aether Verd]

I nominate Reina Daival

I've been shamelessly lurking on their threads for awhile now. But most recently I've been impressed with their stories with Quinn Varanin and how they're being a badass during the ME's Verd'goten.

Question:

Assume money is no obstacle, where in the Galaxy would you want to live? (And why is it not the Core?)

 

[Quinn Varanin]

I nominate Reina Daival

I second this nomination. The story that Reina has told from Jedi Padawan to the badass she's becoming and discovering herself has been a fun ride. I've enjoyed our stories together and even opposing her as a fellow Jedi with Kito , Reina is a great character and the writer is even more fabulous!

Question:

Describe your character's ideal mundane day and why is it that?

 

[Aselia Verd]

It's redundant to say I third the nomination, but I do. Even before I knew Reina Daival I was stalking all the GA threads I could read. Reina has a depth to her that has been earned over and over and is a joy to read.

Question:
What is the happiest moment for Reina in chaos without mentioning Quinn Varanin ?

 

[Adelle Bastiel]

... This is what I get for having a life: I'm fourth place.

 

[Aselia Verd]

... This is what I get for having a life: I'm fourth place.

Always number 1 to me.

[Mira Rekali]

Fully support this nomination, in fifth place... Reina Daival ! Woo! Best of luck!

Question:
What is something your character wants—but would never admit out loud?

 

[Makai Dashiell]

Nominating Tannor Grene . It's not often you see a character doing stories delving into real character growth and psychological change.

Question : If you were a starship, which model would you be and why?

 

[Seren Gwyn]

Nomination: Varin Mortifer

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

There are a lot of strong writers on the site, but what stands out about Varin is the consistency of his presence and the weight he brings into every scene. He does not just react to events. He shapes them. Whether it is through tension, emotion, or sheer force of personality, every thread he is in feels elevated because of it.

In particular, his recent writing in this thread really highlights that:

• The Line Between Order and Trust

There is a very real sense of instability and intensity to Varin that never feels random. It is controlled chaos. You can feel the internal conflict in his posts, the push and pull between restraint and something far more destructive beneath the surface. That balance is not easy to write, and it is done consistently well.

What I have especially enjoyed is how he interacts with others. He creates space for tension without overpowering the scene, and his reactions feel grounded in his character's history and state of mind. That makes every interaction feel meaningful rather than forced.

He is the kind of character that:

• drives narrative forward
• creates emotional stakes
• and gives other writers something strong to respond to

That combination is what makes collaborative writing really work, and Varin does it extremely well.

Question for the nominee:

What does he believe he is becoming…and is that something he chose, or something that was forced on him?

 

[Darth Caedes]

I nominate Varin Mortifer also! Although the writing I’ve seen is entertaining for sure, this nomination actually comes from word of mouth. I hear so many stories and positive experiences attached to writing with Varin, both IC and OOC. I’m not surprised to see his name come up here. One of my favorite qualities in a writer is someone who drives story rather than merely reacting to what’s been written. Come to find out, he’s the Dungeon Master of his group’s D&D table—so it’s no surprise that he excels in storytelling and creating plot.

Question: how do you come up with your characters names? Think ‘em up? Name generator? Little column A, little column B?
