I'm going to have to go with [IMG alt="Drystan Creed"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/51/51020.jpg?1735782361[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Drystan Creed[/FONT] .

His willingness to engage and tell a brilliant story throughout the invasion has impressed me endlessly. He's willing to have his characters take a hit to further not only his own story but the story of those around him. Everything he writes turns to gold, and the fact he's still walking in the invasion after having his arm blown to bits is not only impressive, but as a writer Drystan makes you genuinely feel for the character and understand how he's still going. He's not just going for the sake of going, he's suffering whilst he's doing it.

One of my favourite opponents to write with, genuinely a good lad and a good character who I actually feel sorry for.

For those who haven't read Drystan's work in the invasion - Have a flick through here and be impressed

Imma +1 [IMG alt="Drystan Creed"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/51/51020.jpg?1735782361[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Drystan Creed[/FONT] . Playing off of his duel in the invasion, the character is exploring how his seemingly perfect technique of being able to copy what he sees is actually holding him back. We do love a guy who, especially at a more advanced training level, acknowledges his flaws.

Also, he's very easy to interact with and plays well with his writing partners (whether they be friend or foe).

Brilliant hutt character; he has the feel of dealing with a hutt down just right.
When I started back, he was the first one who gave me replies, jumping in and helping me run this heist with Glade. This let me begin to design Rogue Protocol in that very thread.

He runs a great and, in my mind, very beneficial part of the chaos, an active criminal faction. Their writer is nothing but active and nice OOC to talk to.
There was a Cantina plotting thread I took part in and I thought it went well. i've also written with him briefly in the slice of life thread which I thought was another great representation of being a Hutt character.

They keep active bounty's going for players to engage in like these, helping weave a slice of criminality into everyone's stories.

Bounty | Bounty | Bounty

That's my experience with them; a big thank you for writing with me and making me feel welcome.

It should come as a surprise to exactly no one that I am nominating [IMG alt="Alicio Organa"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/26/26615.jpg?1700787435[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Alicio Organa[/FONT] this month. Dude took an unannounced LOA for most of January, then came back swinging with his fateful duel against the Queen Mother during the Hapes Crisis.

Genuinely warms my cold slug heart to hear this! I'd be remiss If I didn't pass on the credit to my nomination, [IMG alt="Azurine Varek"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/46/46394.jpg?1739684675[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Azurine Varek[/FONT] !

I came in completely blind this last October and she's been both encouraging and patient as I dabbled here - but enough OOC talk;
For Azzie's nomination I'd like to share several remarkable things I've had the pleasure of reading or writing with her in this last month:

• Fought in tandem with a team of fellow Jedi to slay an ancient Ice Witch with fire and finesse
• Demonstrated her experience as a Rebel-era ace pilot on not only one, but two occasions
• Experienced horrific nightmares bestowed by the Eternal Father @Darth Carnifex himself
• Found time to arrange a jedi ladies' night out leading to further consequences (and sharing the experience for an open thread to feel more alive)
• Set aside her differences with @Diarch Reign for the sake of the common folk caught in the crossfire of a pirate ambush.
• Clashed with her past traumas and hopes for the future, shortly after participating in a lesson gone brutally wrong.
• exploring an abandoned space station infested with an eldritch horror

Additionally, while they happened prior to this month, there is an honorable mention that I want to add in, though I had still been finding my Chaos legs:
Not applicable for February, but the liberation of her homeworld (centuries too late to save her friends and family) and the subsequent pain found in closure.

Regardless, It's been a pleasure to write with [IMG alt="Azurine Varek"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/46/46394.jpg?1739684675[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Azurine Varek[/FONT] and I just want to share my appreciation for her inspired participation.

I would like to put forth [IMG alt="Her"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/46/46360.jpg?1739894680[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Her[/FONT]

She has done incredible write ups for our threads together. The amount of time and effort put into all of her posts on all of their characters is incredible. Without her dedicated and consistent effort, a lot of things I am involved in would not be the same. With her the writers of my faction easily can get into what is happening, why and who is involved.

Thank you for everything you have done

My nomination is Alana Calloway Alana Calloway for a plethora of reasons. Alana and I have written honestly one of the most depressing and sad stories on chaos which only now is starting to turn around into something hopeful. It has been an exploration of both our characters and really gone deep to show just how far Serina would go and just how much Alana has gone through. It’s honestly been one of my most challenging write up’s and Alana as a character has had so much development in such a small time. The writing on Alana’s part is stellar and it means that I always want to give a post back.

If you go to read the stories, the themes are very heavy. But it’s honestly sometimes the saddest and darkest stories that are the best to really delve deep into who a character is at their core and really push forward growth and development.

Alana is stellar writing wise with a stellar character and an amazingly deep story. Thank you for writing with me.

I place my vote for [IMG alt="Her"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/46/46360.jpg?1739894680[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Her[/FONT] for her fantastic story and characters in relation to the Empire of the Lost. The level of detail she places in them make for a great read!

As for me I adore reading people’s stuff on the side, currently right now [IMG alt="Darth Nefaron"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/39/39674.jpg?1707015197[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Darth Nefaron[/FONT] has my heart. Their fun interactions in lady velvet themed Zinder thread has given me my 2025 crackship & with all the spooky things they’re doing in the invasion has influenced and given me amazing inspiration for my own spoopy things with [IMG alt="Quinn Varanin"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/20/20188.jpg?1734212038[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Quinn Varanin[/FONT]

I wanna nominate [IMG alt="Darth Nefaron"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/39/39674.jpg?1707015197[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Darth Nefaron[/FONT] for being an amazing writer OOC and IC now give me a Lady Velvet Zombie love story please!

But there is [IMG alt="Kirie"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/11/11747.jpg?1738750999[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Kirie[/FONT] !

Her additions to the Susevfi dominion were an amazing read! the events of that attack led to our first private thread to remove her slave brand but honestly it was the character's decision to stay for Quinn regardless that really made me fall in love with the character more than I already had! Her reunion with Quinn after was adorable as always, and so are her Zinder posts(I'm sorry you had to put up with drunk Kaila like that xD)

There's so much more that I haven't seen yet and just as much in the works right now, so I'm sure there's plenty who'd agree with me that Kirie posts are always a pleasure to read whether they're cute, sad, or intense!

I would like to nominate [IMG alt="Darth Nefaron"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/39/39674.jpg?1707015197[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Darth Nefaron[/FONT] .

IC, Nefaron has been one hell of an amazing and spooky evil Sith Master for Veradun, and I've had a blast writing with them and fleshing out my character's story and descent into dark. I feel absolutely honored to have Ver join Nefaron in the invasion, and Nef set Veradun up for an epic Sith ritual in a public thread that is a highlight for me. I've always enjoyed reading Nefaron's posts, be they with my character or otherwise, and it has been a blast to follow their Zinder thread with [IMG alt="Corazona von Ascania"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/30/30704.jpg?1739759643[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Corazona von Ascania[/FONT] . The contrast in their posts is absolutely amazing and, ngl, I get a kick out of the idea that Nefaron has a secret collection of Lady Velvet books. Literally hanging on to the edge of my seat to see how these two interact further and what happens next!

OOC, Nefaron's writer is amazing, and is such a nice person to talk to/interact with. They are so uplifting and encouraging and have really made it fun to put together a story. Easily one of my favorite people to chat with!

As for me I would like to put forward [IMG alt="Credius Nargath"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/16/16807.jpg?1593662551[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Credius Nargath[/FONT] . I have been following their character over the past three weeks and reading his posts has been interesting. In particular I found his writing in 'Five Wings Cast A Mighty Shadow' to be very cool and he has the big bad feel I like when someone writes a villain.

I’d like to nominate the obvious choice, [IMG alt="Valery Noble"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/22/22999.jpg?1735669247[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Valery Noble[/FONT] . she’s been, to put it lightly, one of the most consistently written characters in chaos for idk how long. with the quality and quantity that she pumps out on a daily basis, every month could be a Val month, but for me everytime there’s a huge event (invasion/junction/etc) it’s extra special, I always love to read a Val duel.

as for the specific thread, the GA-SO Invasion that’s currently on.

I would like to nominate [IMG alt="Her"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/46/46360.jpg?1739894680[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Her[/FONT] as well, she has given me something beyond just being "that" corpo with diarchy and eotl interactions, a finely crafted storyline and a great feel of adapting the storyline to other people's input makes her a very good writer and god does she deliver with her character's silent, mystery treatment from the shadows

[IMG alt="Carduul Akahl"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/45/45045.jpg?1738118032[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Carduul Akahl[/FONT] , 'nuff said.

Nominating [IMG alt="Carduul Akahl"]https://www.starwarsrp.net/data/avatars/s/45/45045.jpg?1738118032[/IMG] [FONT=BlinkMacSystemFont]Carduul Akahl[/FONT] also.

Writer is great to work with and aims to make the entire experience a breeze. Characters have been great and consistent as well.

 

[Alana Calloway]
