But really. I understand not wanting to let a character go, but grand admiral of the FO as....a droid?
For all the problems the most recent Star Wars Battlefront 2 had, and it had a lot, one thing it did well was marketing. And the trailer, this one here,
x, which showed off Operation Cinder, and a cutscene from the single player campaign made my muse strong. Carlyle has always been a man with delusions of grandeur, so I wanted to explore what would happen if he were to die? If it were to all go tits up prematurely. What would be the next step of any plan to secure a legacy?
Now, the reason is sort of simple. Battlefront 2 captured my interest for one, but at that juncture Carlyle had become boring and dull to write. And I wanted to expand somewhat, and test my horizons. See if I could write a simulation of a dead narcissist. Ergo, I killed him off. But as per your second question;

why are you still a droid.
I simply enjoy him like this. I think he's an interesting character to write in this phase of life. People may disagree, and of course they are entitled to do so, what people find entertaining is subjective. But I quite like him. There'll come a time when he returns to flesh, don't you worry. I already have an arc somewhat planned for this. But I just haven't had the time nor the place to elaborate on it. Invasions and work sap too much of my time.
But, it would be disingenuous not to engage the other forms of criticism in regards to my OOC behaviour.

I've not interacted much with you IC, but I feel that OOC'ly you come across as quite brash and abrasive to those outside the FO. I've heard several reports or concerns where you have been less 'helpful' than I'd expect from a member.

Its been that way almost since you've arrived and its only gotten worse. It makes me fear for your faction...Almost more than a droid running its navy.
People talk, and people say all sorts of things about other people. Chaos is a very tribal site. I suppose that is what happens when people compete consistently for what is, at least in the context of this hobby, important. So, on one hand, I'd like to say that that would be the case. That some of the things and the whole attitude business comes from the banter and sort of rivalries which crop up.
But it would totally wrong to say that I haven't been a right pain in my own right. I've said some very bad things to some people over the past two years. A lot of it, I regret on a personal level. You never go anywhere to deliberately make enemies, or try to ruin someones day. But sometimes, you wake up on the bad side of bed. You get a PM at the wrong time, and you lose your cool cos you don't like the things people have said. And that, that totally blows, and if I had my time again, I'd try to fix things up. I'd like to think in the last couple of months, I've improved. But honestly, who knows, and who is to ultimately judge.
Not that, that at all absolves me of anything at all really. But, if anyone I have at all made mad, insulted, pissed off, etc, is reading. I'd like to apologise. Cos honestly, life's too short to get super butthurt about a Star Wars fanfiction site.
