Beyond Broken
So the other day I went tromping through my Google Drive for schoolwork and the like and I happened to come across an old thread that had been posted here on SWRP: Chaos. I remembered it vividly as I recovered a good portion of it as the crash of November reigned across the board and this was one of my most enjoyable and quite possibly my favorite thread of all time. I recovered part of it, but it's called To Draw Upon The Cold.
This one little private thread was my 47th IC thread I've been in here on SWRP. By then I, Dranok Lussk, had already been through the early phases of character development and was not a Sith Knight in the Empire during Voracitos's reign. Dranok was a Sith Admiral as well, his heart and mind set upon conquering for his glorious Empire and wrecking havoc and destroying those who didn't submit to his will. It just so happens that approximately 23 IC threads before this, Dranok had met Kara Vi'dreya (@[member="Darth Kyros"]) as a young Apprentice. This earlier thread took Dranok, Shinju, Lucien, and Kara through a little "field trip" for the Sith Academy when Darth Vazela (@[member="Vilox Pazela"]) arrives and does his own little thing to take his apprentice.
In To Draw Upon The Cold, the young Kara is found traveling the wastes of Ziost after fleeing from Vazela. Dranok Lussk, the ever-observant young Knight he is, detects the presence and departs to go investigate it. To me, this was my favorite moment as a Sith character's writer. Dranok Lussk was some high and mighty Sith conqueror, and here he was finding a little girl in the snow, cuddling her up in his cloak, and saving her life. He didn't even really know who this little girl was, but he saved her anyways. Due to exhaustion, the pair quickly fall asleep in Dranok's personal chambers in the abandoned little temple in the Ziost highlands. They both awaken to find a rather uncomfortable atmosphere between them as Kara saw Dranok's face rather than his golden-brown mask (Revan playby) and things went on from there. This is the thread that acknowledges that Kara Vi'dreya was Dranok Lussk's daughter from back on Corellia where he and his girlfriend made love before him leaving for the Military Academy.
This one thread was what I looked forward to replying to for about a week or so. This thread was one of the first times I ever truly brought out Dranok's character and personality instead of that typical imposing warlord of the Sith. Looking back on it now, so much has happened to Dranok ICly that I stayed up at night thinking about everything that happened. I poured my heart out into doing this little, non-violent thread and ended up fleshing out my character as well as Libby's. When you take a single character and roleplay with him or her for a long time, you remember things as if they were your own memories. That is such an amazing aspect of roleplaying. When you do so, it's like you wield the memories of more than just yourself. You've done everything, seen everything, and lived it through characters only detailed by writing, yet you just feel it in your soul.
I just wanted to take some time out of my daywhipping the peasants #TyrannyReigns to post this little topic on what my favorite thread was and how much my first true character came to life in. But now it's your turn. Tell me and the others about your favorite threads or moments in roleplaying here at SWRP: Chaos. Tell me about that one time when your soldier character got trapped on that planet and had to hide out with a poor family. Tell me about that time where your Jedi and the Sith she was fighting stopped and teamed up for a one-shot chance at survival against the odds.
Just think about what you've roleplayed. Each and every character you've posted with is a part of you, and you should be proud of that.
