Started looking through all these behind the scenes posts. I really enjoyed reading through the character profiles from the points of view of the authors. It was really more telling about the writer than the character. So I hoped to throw my hat into the ring with thoughts.
Active Characters
Jifo Riou: swrponline2.proboards.com/thread/19343/jifo-riou?page=1&scrollTo=135853
Thoughts - I struggled a lot making Jifo upfront, hoping to achieve something of a tabula raza when I began playing. Things are finally progressing well up front in that everything is flowing organically. I don't want to plan his future out in any definite sense, or I feel like it will pervert my writing. I would perhaps lean RP's to go one way or another as if trying to hit a target. Instead I am letting Jifo go with the flow and reacting to things that happen as they happen rather than plan ahead as a writer. I am getting, or a least hoping to get, better writing out of myself in doing so.
Coming Soon
Thoughts - Dreaming up a character now of the more villainous sort. He'll be a business man up front, but have in his employ a countless number of ne'er-do-wells willing to do quite a bit in the interests of making a few credits. He's going to be older, in his fifties perhaps even sixties; and capable of out playing most of his counterparts in the criminal world. Now that he is getting older, he is satisfied to be a little less cutthroat than he has been in his previous years and content to let his business interests run themselves. However he cannot help but get sucked into the new political state of the galaxy with so much uncertain. Ever the power player, he'd more than likely be blackmailing politicians, going toe to toe with those who seek that he atone for his crimes, and putting out bounty after bounty on people who are no so good for business.
More to come along as I get this idea fleshed out.
