On Christmas Day 2020 I made a new subaccount for a character named Amelia Ardal. In the first and only thread I ever wrote with her, she hired a Jedi and a mercenary to hunt down and capture a Sithspawn who had been preying on livestock and villagers. The Jedi managed to forge a connection with the Sithspawn, allowing them to learn more about each other... and from there what was supposed to be a one-off adventure became a two-part story ending with the young Sithspawn, now called Kai, being brought to Coruscant, where he would face an uncertain future in the hands of the New Jedi Order. By then my interest had shifted away from Amelia and onto Kai, whose story seemed much more promising, so I changed the name of the subaccount to "The Doppelganger" and later "Kai Bamarri".
When I first started pitching ideas for threads with Kai, a lot of people didn't seem to want anything to do with him. As far as I could tell they were suspicious of/uncomfortable with the idea of a "Sithspawn Jedi". I myself was pretty anxious about whether he would work as a character, because he was unlike anything else I had ever tried before. But anyway, a few writers were willing to take a chance on him, and while it took some time, more people started to warm up to him. Since then he's been a part of some of my favorite stories, and is probably the best character I've ever written on Chaos.
TL;DR Today Kai reached 1,000 posts, the first of any of my subaccounts to reach such a goal, and per Chaos tradition that means he gets a feedback thread. I'm looking for any input, advice, opinions, criticisms, etc, on Kai and my writing in general. Whether you like him or not, whether you have a lot or a little to say, I want to know what you think.
