1. Who is your Character?
Zenas Codrey, a user of the Dark Side with power equivalent to a Jedi Knight.
2. Where did they come from culture and planet/region wise?
Zenas is Togruta, but was not raised on Shili. He was born on a spaceship and grew up on Naalol, learning as much about his Togruta heritage as possible, and dealing with the harshness of Naalol’s predominately human people.
3. In short, why are they the way they are?
A difficult childhood and a coddling mother. Zenas came to depend so completely on his mother to get him through the bullying he faced, and presumed that she depended upon him for the same reason, though her adult peers were, in general, at least polite and courteous with her. When he found this was not the case, as she began to develop a deep relationship with a human woman, he ran away, feeling betrayed. He was picked up by a fallen Jedi Knight with a similar betrayal issue, and was trained with skills to kill the human and take back his mother.
4. Why did they choose the faction they did?
Zenas is unaligned. Any faction wishing to recruit him would have to manipulate him via his goal of “reclaiming” his mother.
5. When you first started them what was the main goal? What did you hope to achieve with them?
<o></o> I’d had an idea with the character Titian Snow, pre-reset, in which he felt ostracized by his best friends and mother,who were forming strong relationships that didn’t include him. I was hoping to find a darksider to work some paranoia into Titian so he’d fall to the darkside and give me another “bad guy” to play, since all mine were defunct or had performed Heel-Face Turns. Post-reset, I simply eliminated the friends and started him neutral, heading straight for the Dark Side.
6. What other storylines did you consider and why did you choose the one you did?
I’d considered him being Sith, a disciple of an old master that had survived the Sith’s horrendous in-fighting, or having him be Average Joe Freighter Pilot and getting sucked into dramatic events through destiny or luck or something. Ultimately I went with the Dark Side idea because I remembered I’d had a strong Dark-Sider pre-reset and was entitled to have one in the post-reset.
7. What have you always wanted to do with them?
Zenas gets into a LOT of combat situations. This is okay, and I guess it’s going to happen given his short temper, xenophobia, and power-set that lends itself easily to combat, but I want to do a kind of “slice of life” thread where Zenas doesn’t get involved in anything dramatic, to see how he’d handle a “normal” day, or do a thread where he is entirely dependent on someone else for his daily needs.
8. Assuming it's not wiping out an entire faction or creating a new Death Star, what is stopping you from doing #7?
The slice-of-life thread would be easily done, if I could somehow ensure that no bounty-hunters would arrive and try to claim the bounty that was recently put out on him. The 2<sup>nd</sup> idea I see as inevitable, as the bounty has put him through many fights in a short time. Even with the Force on his side, he’d tire, be injured, or something and need to accept some kind of help. Again, it’s a matter of finding the right characters and ensuring no bounty-hunters.
9. Do you see an ending for this character? What is it?
I see an end of this phase, in which he finds his mother and confronts her. Depending on how that turns out, I can see him moving in any number of directions.
10. Has this character gone beyond what you had originally planned for them? Gotten out of control?
No. I actually kind of wish it would get a little haywire. Then again, the last time my “main” dark sider got hijacked, it was for the worse, so…
11.Are you satisfied with where they are now or would you like to rework them back to their original purpose?
Uh…maybe I’d like to speed up the pace of his story (just a bit) and get him into more dramatic, non-combat kind of stuff. He hasn’t moved away from his purpose, he just doesn’t seem to be moving towards it either.
12.What would MOST help you in RPing and being creative with this character?
No idea. In general I guess I need to RP with more people and find more time to do it.
13. Have you done anything to try and solve #12? What was it?<o></o>
I’ve tried to set up a few threads with bounty hunters. Some are working, some aren’t. Time will cease to be a constraing starting next month (I hope) so yeah.<o></o>
