Characters I'd like to see?
I'd love to see a work-a-day father who regularly interacts with his family in-between the adventures and dangers of public threads. A character who spends time with their daughter or son or spouse in a modest home on Dantooine when they're not out blowing up Sith for the greater good. Someone who is simply an average person pulling a job rather than a galactic hero pushing the limits of believably.
I'd like to see a truly unique Force-user. Not one who uses an amalgamation or adaptation of existing tradition/s to build their view of the Force, but something entirely new, unheard of. There are an infinite number of ways to use magic, and yet we always see the same few dozen spliced and butchered together in "new" and "original" ways. I want to see something that no one has thought of before, something unlike anything this board has seen.
It would thrill me to the core to see a patriot for a single country on a single planet that has never been a faction of any sort. Someone whose entire political agenda is one tiny slice of land on one tiny rock in the middle of the great emptiness that is space, rather than power struggles that effect trillions of people. A character so shallow that it requires depth of literary skill simply to be ignorant on such a massive scale. Utterly wrapped up in the squabbles of one spit of land versus another spit of land, and utterly clueless (or uninterested) in the greater conflicts of the galaxy.
I'm sure we have some of these already, so maybe I want to see more of them. But still, these are characters I want to see on SWRP.
...Now, if we're talking avatars/faces/faceclaims (a dumb word for this site, considering no one can claim anything), I'm appalled at the lack of black and hispanic faces we have running around. And there's a persistent problem with an unjust majority of our characters being human. I'd love to see a more even distribution of human to nonhuman characters.
