So I think there was a similar thread a while ago, but it might have gotten eaten during the wipe, but I felt like this would be an interesting thing to talk about.
How has your character changed over his or her (or its) time on the board? Some of us have characters we've played from the very begining of the board, while some of us have only been on here a few months. Though its hard to pinpoint and track years on here without an actual time line, I think it would be interesting to talk about how you wanted your character to go, and how it ended up going or is going. I guess I'll start (obviously)
So Turin Val Kur...When I first came on the board I was dead set on not making a FU character, as I usually find them being played as high and mighty, or the archetypal reluctant hero on the Jedi side, or the ruthless "I can do and kill anything" Sith Lord apprentices. I also love watching dogfights, and love participating in them on games like Battlefront 2, Battlefield and Planetside. I loved the idea of a space Navy and pilots, so Turin was made. I saw his playby and said to myself "This here is the perfect, full of himself Ace pilot for the Republic. Chasing ladies all night and drinking till its time to deploy." picture....And so Turin was made. However...Things kinda started to change early on when he settled down with @[member="Sophia Walsh"], which was weird, because I even made him have a bad rep with flirting and bedding women of all types. But that was fun, it gave him a fun dynamic, and with her being his first love...he was attached to say the least. Of course at this time, the only war going on was really between the Sith and the Mandos, and so Turin, though he was a "good" pilot there hadn't been any major conflicts that Turin had been a part of...
Then came Clockwork. And everything took a turn. From the get go I made him sensitive to the Force, kinda like a Sixth-sense when he was piloting, but then it was suggested I make him into a Jedi...But how? Well, the answer was unexpected. Death. Not of him, but of millions all around him almost at once. Shocked him to his core. So badly that he had to take a forced leave of absence, even during this desperate time. He recieved training so that he could tune out the death some and not be in pain...and it kinda just went like that. He was the guy who would have nightmares of different events that were happening on the board, even though he might not be part of what was happening. I think that changed him, at the time, made him more fragile, but made him..sober up. Made him realize that the world wasn't just women (or Sophia in his case now), booze, and flying. He had people to protect as a Naval officer and it just made him all around a more serious character.
Then unexpectadly, Sophia was captured by the Sith, and with that led to the downfall of his career, he became a wanted man, and an embarassment to the Jedi. Anyone who wanted to put a leash on the Jedi, well he was a perfect example of WHY they should be. He was out on the run for a while, nearly died being chased by the then RSFU...But he somehow made his way to the Conclave and now the Fel empire, back to the original reason I made him. Since Omni he has seen his share of death, more than a lot of characters I have to be honest. He's fought Sith, Bounty Hunters, and Military officers and he's killed his fare share of NPCs now. And poodoo, I failed at making a Non-FU...
): How about you?
