To begin with this compilation, I'd like to explain that due to hitting a glass ceiling, I had to deactivate four of my characters so I could make a new one I wanted, and possibly a few new ones in the next months depending on how I feel. This has resulted in the need to create a new character poll, and since I'm sick of having to create a new poll for new names, this new poll will be entirely based off of numbers.
The current roster is:
1. Varulla'aba
2. Teer Ka
3. Ervisa Therani
4. Naraka
5. Tashra Gly
6. Sinya'anu

Introduction.
You will find more than just a list of my characters here, you will find my insights into them, ranging from music to author commentary. If you are here, you have clicked on my signature most likely, and you want to learn about my characters. The colored name of each character is a link to their application, where you can see full information about the character.
A very special thank you goes out to all the artists who have ever drawn my characters: lonelion4ever, berserker, hedoy, Reisier.
Characters
Varulla'aba. Twi'lek, Grey Jedi Swoop Racer (F)
Description: Var is pale, with skin the color of alabaster and a slender build. She moves with grace, even when wearing her attire of choice, a black suit of Echani light armor. She has a temper, a tendency to be very caustic, and is often introverted. She's been badly hurt before, and will never grow entirely past that. Her past as a victim of sexual and physical abuse still haunts her, but her life has taken on a new light and hope with her abandonment of the Sith.
Very often she can be found with her pet, a large raven named Eleanor.

Quote: "I'm not a good person Donnie..."
"So what do you want from me? Do you want to hear the sad story of a sad little girl? Is that it?"
You... you don't know what its like for me. I'm, I'm not you. I can't just give myself away.
"I deserve to be hurt."
"Your... kindness... is appreciated. Not very many people have been kind to me in my life. I don't know why you'd help a random stranger like this. I don't know if I'd do the same thing if the roles were reversed..."

Song: Fortunate Son- Creedence Clearwater Revival
Instrumental Theme: Main Theme: Star Trek First Contact
Poludnica's Psych Review: Twi'lek female, age 26, reports mood swings and social reclusion tendencies. Severe trauma (rape) and years of abuse caused deep mental scars that affect her functioning. Giving her age when the trauma happened, the development of her personality might have been disturbed causing borderline tendencies to show up (impulsive anger, impatience, tendency to high risk behaviors, fear of being rejected). Negligence of needs as child caused inappropriate behaviors to shape like problems with adjusting to norms as well as for now only suspected bipolar disorder. More data is needed.
Author's Notes: Var is a lot like myself in some ways. She's hurt, she's not a social butterfly all the time. She battles her emotions, she feels inadequate a lot. Also like me, she has trouble finding and holding down jobs. It's not easy for her to be a good person all the time, but friends keep her sane.
Would I Date This Character: No. For me Var is more like a sister. I don't think of her as dating material really, and I don't think I'm really her type anyway.
Teer Ka Togruta, Jedi Master (F)
Description: Teer is a Togruta Weapons Master of average height with an average build. Her most notable features are a large scar on her left cheek and three smaller scars on her throat. Her lips are full, and on other women might have been inviting, but her hard gaze and steely eyes don't exactly appear welcoming. She is, as a rule, very stern and commanding. Her voice is husky and richly accented. (In Earth terms, imagine Marlene Dietrich with a Brazilian accent.)
Teer is the Jedi Watchman for the planet of Shili, and maintains a very close bond and love for both the planet and her people. She lives a life of tranquility and solitude now.
Very often she can be seen with her pet, a Corellian Banshee Bird named Ashla that she has deeply bonded with.

Instrumental Theme: Star Trek VI Full Soundtrack
Second Piece: Family Business- Mercenaries
Poludnica's Psych Review: An older Togruta female came seeking information of an academic nature, explaining it with her natural curiosity toward philosophy and mind. She shows little to no emotions, carefully guarding and controlling them. From initial interview I can say the Jedi Master is of strong attitudes, a very opinionated personality with compulsive tendencies (very stern attitudes and beliefs that are not flexible, as well as perfectionism), though not many traits of OCD could be spotted aside from preoccupation with details and rules. Due to lack of mental flexibility I suspect she may suffer from frustration and anxiety when not being able to force her way on others.
Author's Notes: Teer. There's so much to say. Her evolution as a character has really gone along. She's sort of a flawed hero grown out of an antihero. Teer is quite noble in a way, very much like her pet Ashla. She can be standoffish and a bit hard to get close to, but if you do make it into her good graces she'll be a lifelong ally with all the loyalty only a Togruta can give.
Would I Date This Character: If we were in the same age range, yes. Assuming she'd have me, which isn't very likely. I don't think we're compatible, which isn't surprising as Teer isn't compatible with many people.
Ervisa Therani. Mirialan, Grey Jedi Pilot (F)
Description: Ervisa is an emerald-skinned woman with an athletic build and long black hair kept in a braid most often. Her face is angular, but not unattractive.
She can usually be found in a flightsuit and on or near her bird, an RR-7700 Helicopter. It is her pride and joy.
She is a member of the faction Spearpoint, a private military.
Ervisa is a recovering drug addict and alcoholic, and is doing her utmost to gain control over her past.

"Fugitive. Oh yes indeed. Wanted, for crimes against fashion. You should have seen the offense, I wore a paisley jacket and a plaid tank top. My pants were also made of this fuzzy neon orange substance I wasn't sure what was. Flammable as all hell though..."
"I haven't been happy in seven years... Why should I be? I'm nothing now. Used to be a Guardian of Peace and Justice in the Galaxy, a real hero. Now I'm a drunken hussy on a backwater world. How the mighty have fallen..."
"I never said I wasn't interesting. But if you knew all about me, you'd never look at me the same way. You'd either stare at me with pity for a poor woman gone astray, loathe me for my weakness, or hold my failures against me."

Human Ethnicity: Black
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Morrowind Class: Mage
Most mages claim to study magic for its intellectual rewards, but they also often profit from its practical applications. Varying widely in temperament and motivation, mages share but one thing in common - an avid love of spellcasting.
Song: Salty Dog - Flogging Molly
Livin' La Vida Loca - Ricky Martin
Gimme Shelter - The Rolling Stones
Instrumental Theme: Bizet- Carmen, Habanera
Poludnica's Psych Review: "Mirialan female, age 34, sent for an evaluation after loss of her Padawan and decision to leave the Order. No sign of obvious trauma and good coping mechanisms, very well developed rationalizations. Emotionally stable, although certain joking remarks and digressions made while talking about difficult matters make me suspect inability to express negative emotion. Personality of lively temperament with compulsive tendencies which could be dangerous if met with addiction. No disturbances in personality development were observed , though the eccentric behavior and some beliefs may place her as a schizotypal type. In conclusion - given the type of personality and cognitive profile, the decision of leaving was not made hastily under the influence of strong emotions but was rather a conscious well thought-out outcome."
*Schizotypal personality disorder, or simply schizotypal disorder, is a personality disorder that is characterized by a need for social isolation, anxiety in social situations, odd behavior and thinking, and often unconventional beliefs.
Author's Notes: Ervi, Ervi. I love this girl, but sometimes she makes me sad. Ervisa just can't control herself, like me around a platter of mozzarella sticks. But worse. I'm not even sure a decade with a great shrink could fix her up. They do say crazy girls are amazing though, and that's probably true of Ervisa. But really the poor girl needs some love and a ton of therapy.
Would I Date This Character: No. I love Ervisa, but in a sisterly way. Besides, I could never keep up with her.
NarakaTogruta, Sith Master (F)
Description: Naraka, born Kalima Dey, is an extremely buxom woman, with a very desirable figure and an exotic face. Her appeal is not mainstream, but she is a true seductress and can sell herself well. She wears garments of black leather, and can always be found in bare feet. In character she is highly erratic and unpredictable, equally likely to kiss or to kill depending on her whim. However, if kept pleased she can be an excellent master, providing value insight and instruction.

What kind of Beverage this Character would be: Tequila
Human Ethnicity: Arab/Latina
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Morrowind Class (Taken from evaluation): Bard
Bards are loremasters and storytellers. They crave adventure for the wisdom and insight to be gained, and must depend on sword, shield, spell and enchantment to preserve them from the perils of their educational experiences.
Song: You Give Love a Bad Name- Bon Jovi
Sniper- Mercenaries Soundtrack
Poludnica's Psych Review:
Author's Notes: Naraka actually originates on another site, where I wound up leaving on less than stellar terms. The character was so much fun that I couldn't help but bring her over here. She's always been one of my favorites, and the only evil character I've ever been able to RP.
Would I Date This Character: Oh hell no. This girl has fangs and uses them, I want my body to remain intact.
Tashra "Sparky" Gly Togruta, Mechanic (F)
Description: Sparky is an inquisitive, socially awkward, teenage girl who blurs the line between adult and child. She can be very adult at times, but one moment she may be watching children's shows. She likes droids better than people, and can be extremely gullible. She has all the trust of a child, and the skills of an adult.
She is, in appearance, slender and petite, with whimsical facial markings and orange skin. Her montrals and headtails aren't very long yet, and she, in appearance, also straddles the line between child and adult.

Human Ethnicity: Arab
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Morrowind Class: Sorcerer
Though spellcasters by vocation, sorcerers rely most on summonings and enchantments. They are greedy for magic scrolls, rings, armor and weapons, and commanding undead and Daedric servants gratifies their egos.
Song: Death Valley Queen-Flogging Molly
Instrumental Theme: Sleigh Ride - The Ventures
Poludnica's Psych Review:
Author's Notes: Tashra is fun in that she's comedic like Nom, not one of my serious charries. She's incredibly naive and childish, which is always a good place to get in touch with as I write. It's also a bit of a challenge as both mentally and physically she is my youngest character. But, they say you never fully grow up. And by they I mean me. It's true whenever you see anyone with a soul at Disneyland.
Would I Date This Character: Yes. You'd better believe I would. Here's someone right on my level, fun and easy to relate to. I also have a romantic streak a mile wide, so i think we'd hit it off well.
Sinya'anu Twi'lek, Palace Slave/Singer and Dancer (F)
Description: Sinya is a broken Twi’lek, a formerly bright and sunny girl who was utterly shattered by circumstances beyond her control. Now, it’s almost hard to think of her as a person from how far down she’s sunk. She spends most of her waking hours nearly catatonic or singing to herself, when she’s not dancing or singing in public.

Morrowind Class: Rogue
Rogues are adventurers and opportunists with a gift for getting in and out of trouble. Relying variously on charm and dash, blades and business sense, they thrive on conflict and misfortune, trusting to their luck and cunning to survive.
Song: Suliko Traditional Georgian folk song, performed by the Red Army Choir.
The Ol' Beggars Bush by Flogging Molly
Instrumental Theme: Elegy by Lisa Gerrard & Patrick Cassidy
Poludnica's Psych Review:
Author's Notes: Sinya. Definitely my saddest and most disturbed character, but also the one with the most room for growth over a long period. I think we can expect some fantastic roleplay from her in the future, without a doubt.
Would I Date This Character: No. I'd like to help her, but I don't think I'm cut out for the job. I'd be more of a big brother to her, looking out for her and taking care of her.
Request Center
In this section, you will see the current types of RP I would like for each of my characters, and my commentary on who is best-suited for them. You can also gain this information from talking to me if you prefer.
1. Varulla'aba. Var is currently seeking to better herself, and pursuing a swoop racing career. She has a very small amount of friends, and it would be ideal to expand that group. The only current limitation is that she is a fugitive from the Sith and the Republic, and characters from those governments would have to shirk their obligations to become friends. Rivalries are also good material here. Contact me if you want to be one of these.
2. Teer Ka. Teer is currently the Watchman of Shili, and lives in a sort of isolation. If your characters goes to the effort of seeking her, she can provide advanced lightsaber instruction, her own brand of wisdom, and if you work hard, friendship or romance. At some point, she will be seeking two more Padawans, both aliens, one female, age 14-19. Personality clashes are fine for this relationship, as it makes for good RP.
3. Ervisa Therani. Ervi is currently a pilot in the private military Spearpoint, and is an ex-prostitute and recovering drug addict and alcoholic. She is currently in a romantic relationship with a colleague, but attempts to steal her away could make for interesting writing, particularly as she is very easy to coax into bed.
4. Naraka. Naraka is a Sith Master, but not a conventional ideologue or true believer. Her allegiances are a little more fluid, with the result that she often toes the line. As an extremely erratic woman, she can meet friends, enemies, or rivals; but the primary goal is to find one or two apprentices to teach. To those apprentices she is capable of being both (or either) a doting and benevolent mother and (or) a seductive lover.
5. Aerith Vand. Aerith is an aristocrat, currently looking to work herself up to Countess. She plays a role in the Empire as diplomat, businesswoman, and socialite. If you can fit into any of these roles, please PM me your ideas. Be advised she is asexual, and as such, romances will be rather one-sided.
6. Tashra Gly. Tashra is looking for Prince Charming, and she tends to see him anywhere. She's very innocent and naive, and very, very easy to manipulate. You could either exploit her for a good time, befriend her, or be her special someone.
7. Sinya'anu. Sinya is a special kind of girl, the kind who really needs a guardian. Observer is fulfilling that role with his character, but Sinya will, as she grows, require friends and associates. Be advised she is literally terrified of strange men. Your character can either try to change that or make it worse.
Frequently Asked Questions
This title is actually a misnomer, as I have not been asked any questions. Consider this to be more of 'questions that might be asked' section.
Q: Why do you have so many female characters?
A: I'm just more comfortable writing women. It feels more natural to me, and I can understand the characters better. Most importantly, my male characters often suffer from short and uninspired posting, while my main core of female characters are easy to write for me in almost every scenario.
Q: Why did you deactivate a bunch of your characters?
A: As I reached the point where I required admin permission to make new characters, I was increasingly told no, meeting more and more resistance. Finally I got sick of it, so in a way I was forced to give up many of my characters so I can make new ones at some point.
Q: Will you bring back your inactive characters?
A: Probably not, I'm moving on. I have probably two more characters left before I hit the glass ceiling again, so I'm going to make it count.
Q: I want to RP with one of your characters, what do I do?
A: Send me a private message and we can work something out.
Q: You're the Jedi Mod, why don't you have the Grandmaster?
A: SWU doesn't work that way. I'm not one of the cool kids, which kind of puts me a little lower down the totem pole. I'm the mod, but I'm not the guy who gets consulted on things. So, I just work here. Don't blame me for company policy or expect the sales associate to know about corporate meetings.
Q: I want to have my character's history tie into one of yours, what do I do?
A: Ask me. Send me a PM with all the details you have in mind, and I'll get back to you swiftly as I can.
Dedicated NPCs
Kira Jeseledai Tholothian, Jedi Teaching Assistant (F)
Description: Kira is a Tholothian girl (as shown by her caramel skin and a headdress she refers to as 'Mister Tentacles') who can best be described by the words 'sweet' and 'ditzy.' She's extraordinarily nice, but not exactly the brightest crayon in the box. Kira is very average in the brain department, and can be quite naive at times. She always prefers to be spending time with children or doing childlike things.
Alignment: +5 (Lawful Good)

Quote:
“[Kids] don't remember what you try to teach them. They remember what you are.” -Jim Henson
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” -C.S. Lewis

Song: Smile, Smile, Smile - My Little Pony
Instrumental Theme: Seguidilla - Bizet, Carmen Suite 1
Bohemian Dance - Bizet, Carmen Suite 2
Poludnica's Psych Review:
Author's Notes: Kira is my attempt to create a sweet and childlike character who still retains responsibility, someone who is average in most respects and likes it that way. We have too many powerful and rapidly-achieving Jedi, so I decided to make someone who takes her time and enjoys life. Also someone to RP with all those Younglings who arrive.
Would I Date This Character: Absolutely. I love Kira. She's a bright and sunny soul who would counterbalance me perfectly. I like that she's so normal, and I feel like I could just sit and talk with her about anything.
Blazinda Kast, Human/Epicanthix Mechanic (F)
Description: Blazinda is a cheery, bright, and thoroughly adorable mechanic who frequently overshadows her more caustic and glommy friend and employer. She can be relied on to be a faithful friend and hard worker.
Alignment: +3 (Neutral Good)

She shows little to no emotions, carefully guarding and controlling them. From initial interview I can say the Jedi Master is of strong attitudes, a very opinionated personality with compulsive tendencies (very stern attitudes and beliefs that are not flexible, as well as perfectionism), though not many traits of OCD could be spotted aside from preoccupation with details and rules. Due to lack of mental flexibility I suspect she may suffer from frustration and anxiety when not being able to force her way on others.
Author's Notes: Teer. There's so much to say. Her evolution as a character has really gone along. She's sort of a flawed hero grown out of an antihero. Teer is quite noble in a way, very much like her pet Ashla. She can be standoffish and a bit hard to get close to, but if you do make it into her good graces she'll be a lifelong ally with all the loyalty only a Togruta can give.

Emotionally stable, although certain joking remarks and digressions made while talking about difficult matters make me suspect inability to express negative emotion. Personality of lively temperament with compulsive tendencies which could be dangerous if met with addiction. No disturbances in personality development were observed , though the eccentric behavior and some beliefs may place her as a schizotypal type. In conclusion - given the type of personality and cognitive profile, the decision of leaving was not made hastily under the influence of strong emotions but was rather a conscious well thought-out outcome."
*Schizotypal personality disorder, or simply schizotypal disorder, is a personality disorder that is characterized by a need for social isolation, anxiety in social situations, odd behavior and thinking, and often unconventional beliefs.
Author's Notes: Ervi, Ervi. I love this girl, but sometimes she makes me sad. Ervisa just can't control herself, like me around a platter of mozzarella sticks. But worse. I'm not even sure a decade with a great shrink could fix her up. They do say crazy girls are amazing though, and that's probably true of Ervisa. But really the poor girl needs some love and a ton of therapy.
Would I Date This Character: No. I love Ervisa, but in a sisterly way. Besides, I could never keep up with her.
NarakaTogruta, Sith Master (F)
Description: Naraka, born Kalima Dey, is an extremely buxom woman, with a very desirable figure and an exotic face. Her appeal is not mainstream, but she is a true seductress and can sell herself well. She wears garments of black leather, and can always be found in bare feet. In character she is highly erratic and unpredictable, equally likely to kiss or to kill depending on her whim. However, if kept pleased she can be an excellent master, providing value insight and instruction.

Poludnica's Psych Review:
Author's Notes: Naraka actually originates on another site, where I wound up leaving on less than stellar terms. The character was so much fun that I couldn't help but bring her over here. She's always been one of my favorites, and the only evil character I've ever been able to RP.
Would I Date This Character: Oh hell no. This girl has fangs and uses them, I want my body to remain intact.
Tashra "Sparky" Gly Togruta, Mechanic (F)
Description: Sparky is an inquisitive, socially awkward, teenage girl who blurs the line between adult and child. She can be very adult at times, but one moment she may be watching children's shows. She likes droids better than people, and can be extremely gullible. She has all the trust of a child, and the skills of an adult.
She is, in appearance, slender and petite, with whimsical facial markings and orange skin. Her montrals and headtails aren't very long yet, and she, in appearance, also straddles the line between child and adult.

Morrowind Class: Sorcerer
Though spellcasters by vocation, sorcerers rely most on summonings and enchantments. They are greedy for magic scrolls, rings, armor and weapons, and commanding undead and Daedric servants gratifies their egos.
Song: Death Valley Queen-Flogging Molly
Instrumental Theme: Sleigh Ride - The Ventures
Poludnica's Psych Review:
Author's Notes: Tashra is fun in that she's comedic like Nom, not one of my serious charries. She's incredibly naive and childish, which is always a good place to get in touch with as I write. It's also a bit of a challenge as both mentally and physically she is my youngest character. But, they say you never fully grow up. And by they I mean me. It's true whenever you see anyone with a soul at Disneyland.
Would I Date This Character: Yes. You'd better believe I would. Here's someone right on my level, fun and easy to relate to. I also have a romantic streak a mile wide, so i think we'd hit it off well.
Sinya'anu Twi'lek, Palace Slave/Singer and Dancer (F)
Description: Sinya is a broken Twi’lek, a formerly bright and sunny girl who was utterly shattered by circumstances beyond her control. Now, it’s almost hard to think of her as a person from how far down she’s sunk. She spends most of her waking hours nearly catatonic or singing to herself, when she’s not dancing or singing in public.

Poludnica's Psych Review:
Author's Notes: Sinya. Definitely my saddest and most disturbed character, but also the one with the most room for growth over a long period. I think we can expect some fantastic roleplay from her in the future, without a doubt.
Would I Date This Character: No. I'd like to help her, but I don't think I'm cut out for the job. I'd be more of a big brother to her, looking out for her and taking care of her.
Request Center
In this section, you will see the current types of RP I would like for each of my characters, and my commentary on who is best-suited for them. You can also gain this information from talking to me if you prefer.
1. Varulla'aba. Var is currently seeking to better herself, and pursuing a swoop racing career. She has a very small amount of friends, and it would be ideal to expand that group. The only current limitation is that she is a fugitive from the Sith and the Republic, and characters from those governments would have to shirk their obligations to become friends. Rivalries are also good material here. Contact me if you want to be one of these.
2. Teer Ka. Teer is currently the Watchman of Shili, and lives in a sort of isolation. If your characters goes to the effort of seeking her, she can provide advanced lightsaber instruction, her own brand of wisdom, and if you work hard, friendship or romance. At some point, she will be seeking two more Padawans, both aliens, one female, age 14-19. Personality clashes are fine for this relationship, as it makes for good RP.
3. Ervisa Therani. Ervi is currently a pilot in the private military Spearpoint, and is an ex-prostitute and recovering drug addict and alcoholic. She is currently in a romantic relationship with a colleague, but attempts to steal her away could make for interesting writing, particularly as she is very easy to coax into bed.
4. Naraka. Naraka is a Sith Master, but not a conventional ideologue or true believer. Her allegiances are a little more fluid, with the result that she often toes the line. As an extremely erratic woman, she can meet friends, enemies, or rivals; but the primary goal is to find one or two apprentices to teach. To those apprentices she is capable of being both (or either) a doting and benevolent mother and (or) a seductive lover.
5. Aerith Vand. Aerith is an aristocrat, currently looking to work herself up to Countess. She plays a role in the Empire as diplomat, businesswoman, and socialite. If you can fit into any of these roles, please PM me your ideas. Be advised she is asexual, and as such, romances will be rather one-sided.
6. Tashra Gly. Tashra is looking for Prince Charming, and she tends to see him anywhere. She's very innocent and naive, and very, very easy to manipulate. You could either exploit her for a good time, befriend her, or be her special someone.
7. Sinya'anu. Sinya is a special kind of girl, the kind who really needs a guardian. Observer is fulfilling that role with his character, but Sinya will, as she grows, require friends and associates. Be advised she is literally terrified of strange men. Your character can either try to change that or make it worse.
Frequently Asked Questions
This title is actually a misnomer, as I have not been asked any questions. Consider this to be more of 'questions that might be asked' section.
Q: Why do you have so many female characters?
A: I'm just more comfortable writing women. It feels more natural to me, and I can understand the characters better. Most importantly, my male characters often suffer from short and uninspired posting, while my main core of female characters are easy to write for me in almost every scenario.
Q: Why did you deactivate a bunch of your characters?
A: As I reached the point where I required admin permission to make new characters, I was increasingly told no, meeting more and more resistance. Finally I got sick of it, so in a way I was forced to give up many of my characters so I can make new ones at some point.
Q: Will you bring back your inactive characters?
A: Probably not, I'm moving on. I have probably two more characters left before I hit the glass ceiling again, so I'm going to make it count.
Q: I want to RP with one of your characters, what do I do?
A: Send me a private message and we can work something out.
Q: You're the Jedi Mod, why don't you have the Grandmaster?
A: SWU doesn't work that way. I'm not one of the cool kids, which kind of puts me a little lower down the totem pole. I'm the mod, but I'm not the guy who gets consulted on things. So, I just work here. Don't blame me for company policy or expect the sales associate to know about corporate meetings.
Q: I want to have my character's history tie into one of yours, what do I do?
A: Ask me. Send me a PM with all the details you have in mind, and I'll get back to you swiftly as I can.
Dedicated NPCs
Kira Jeseledai Tholothian, Jedi Teaching Assistant (F)
Description: Kira is a Tholothian girl (as shown by her caramel skin and a headdress she refers to as 'Mister Tentacles') who can best be described by the words 'sweet' and 'ditzy.' She's extraordinarily nice, but not exactly the brightest crayon in the box. Kira is very average in the brain department, and can be quite naive at times. She always prefers to be spending time with children or doing childlike things.

Quote:
“[Kids] don't remember what you try to teach them. They remember what you are.” -Jim Henson
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” -C.S. Lewis
What kind of Beverage this Character would be: Grape juice
Human Ethnicity: Black (Tuareg?)
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Morrowind Class: Mage
Most mages claim to study magic for its intellectual rewards, but they also often profit from its practical applications. Varying widely in temperament and motivation, mages share but one thing in common - an avid love of spellcasting.
Song: Smile, Smile, Smile - My Little Pony
Instrumental Theme: Seguidilla - Bizet, Carmen Suite 1
Bohemian Dance - Bizet, Carmen Suite 2
Poludnica's Psych Review:
Author's Notes: Kira is my attempt to create a sweet and childlike character who still retains responsibility, someone who is average in most respects and likes it that way. We have too many powerful and rapidly-achieving Jedi, so I decided to make someone who takes her time and enjoys life. Also someone to RP with all those Younglings who arrive.
Would I Date This Character: Absolutely. I love Kira. She's a bright and sunny soul who would counterbalance me perfectly. I like that she's so normal, and I feel like I could just sit and talk with her about anything.
Blazinda Kast, Human/Epicanthix Mechanic (F)
Description: Blazinda is a cheery, bright, and thoroughly adorable mechanic who frequently overshadows her more caustic and glommy friend and employer. She can be relied on to be a faithful friend and hard worker.

Author's Notes: Blazinda exists as a perfect foil to Var, helping her close friend. While she couldn't really exist on her own, I find her a nice addition to Var's posts.
Would I Date This Character: Sure thing, Blazinda would make a great girlfriend.
