Focus Character/Roleplay for JULY

[Lilaena De'Ville]

It seems like we were just doing this, doesn't it. :cool:

Please nominate/give props to a character you appreciate this month (June), to be featured on the front page of the wiki for next month (July)! Also, let us know what roleplays you have enjoyed the most in the month of June! Characters and roleplays must be active in the month of June with at least one post.

Feel free to vote more than once for whoever you're feeling at the time. :) At the end of June I'll gather the consensus from the thread and do the write up and then an Admin will put them up.

INELIGIBLE: previous Focus Characters! http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Focus_Characters

(unrelated: I'm putting in quotes of the day, if you have anything you've read or written you want included you can PM it to me (with link to the RP if you can, but not necessary!) and I'll do it up. Also, you can do it yourself if you like, it's really easy!)

Quote of the Day:

"The body is a prison," she said. "But the mind is weak and cannot live without it. I talked to Rosanna Hughes sometimes, in her sleep. She didn't know it, but she was my friend. Thank you for helping her."--Andrea Kaine to Flux, Leaving the Door Open (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?p=388236#post388236)

This shit blew my goddamn mind. That's a HUGE thing to drop on him in this situation. It'd be huge anytime, but Flux needs his wits and this is gonna throw him off his game like nothing else could. LOVE THIS.

Ossus: A Place of Knowledge (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22651) - Palara and Wei's interactions are increasingly fascinating to me, and the recent tree reveal was excellent. I can't wait to see how this one turns out. :)

[Wei Wu Wei]

Palara Iscandar for Focus Character. The more I write with Vince, the more I appreciate his writing and his characters. The inner conflict Palara suffers between duty and her own moral code is well written. If only Mr. Lucas could have been following this character, I'm sure Anakin Skywalker would have turned out better.

[Zeke]

I can't take my eyes off The Pride Mother or her main support, Keerrourri Sarrtarroa. Their latest thread, Cana'Darri Permits (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?p=387971#post387971), is shaping up excellently as a good hard look at both of them and how they're gonna grow as Kia makes her journey into becoming leader of the Cizerack in more than name-only.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Tristan Alastor for character - he's really growing into his own beyond just being a pawn, and I like how active he's been lately. Look up his RPs, they're really good.

[Carré Inirial]

I'll second that Tristan nomination - I'm really thrilled to see him coming into his own, and very much looking forward to how he deals with the Crucible and how it changes him.

[Kiattaarra Feessaarro]

We're out of quotes!!! :eek

[Dasquian Belargic]

Not long left for this month...

[Zenas Codrey]

Um um um um

A Refurbished Jedi Joins the Jedi Order (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22716) for Focus RP. Ironically, not for the role Wei Wu Wei and Abarai Loki are playing as leads, but for the way the crew of Novgorod and Zem Vymes react to them. Each Jedi is extremely straightforward, so the other characters get good reads on them very quickly, and the reactions these people have towards Wei and Loki underscores each man's personality with supreme insight and clarity.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Not much of June left... any last minute votes? :)

[Kiattaarra Feessaarro]

I'm going to go with:

Keerourri
Jordana Jax
Zereth Lancer
Mara Tallen

Jordana Jax and Rough beginnings!

[Zereth Lancer]

Palara Iscandar.

The thread that caught my attention over the course of the month was Meanwhile, on Coruscant (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22750), which approaches familiar stories from the perspective of the Average Joe spectators that populate our Star Wars universe. It's a refreshing read and offers something wholly unique. My only criticism of it would be that I'd like to see more posts to the bloody thing!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Voting will remain open through July 2 in order to break a few ties. Please help out and participate even though I'm not reminding you in a chat! ;)

[Wei Wu Wei]

I'll put in for Jordana Jax as well. Writing with her has been fun. She definitely captures the attitude of the typical 13 year old in an atypical situation. It's going to be fun to see where the character goes. :)

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

Meanwhile on Coruscant and Jordana Jax are both big nods. I'll also nod the Pride Mother because that's been kind of interesting seeing the transition into power.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Extending this another day - PLEASE VOTE we need a clear winner in both categories or I'm going to let Jenny pick or something.

[Serasai Onashi]

Meanwhile on Coruscant. Absolutely amazing! This is sort of thing I conjure when writing Ben, and it's perfect.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Do we have winners? :ohno

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Looks like Meanwhile, on Coruscant and Jordana Jax are our winners, finally. Took three extra days but managed to squeak in just enough participation!

Thanks to everyone who voted. :D

(and thank you for everyone who nominated my thread, I really really appreciate it! You like me, you really like me!! :D)

[Jordana Jax]

:ohno :huh

I logged in and saw my name on the front page. What is this? I'm assuming its something pretty cool, yes?! :hurr

[Lilaena De'Ville]

You're the focus Character of the month! That means you get a bit up about Jordana on the main page of the wiki for the month.

This also means you kind of need some biographical information up in the wiki for us to glean from. It's sort of an award and an assignment, all in one. :) Congratulations, and great work with Jordana! :D

[Jordana Jax]

:eek :dance :eee

Oh that is very cool! Thank you everyone! I'm glad y'all are enjoying the character. I don't know what to say :ohno

Oh dear. Now I have to work up a wiki page. I'll do that tomorrow!

[Jordana Jax]

I lied. I got one up for you. Here (http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php/Jordana_Jax) :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Bam! Awesome work! :D

[Dasquian Belargic]

The wiki has been updated :) Congrats you two!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Well, it's a month late but I got a picture for Vanguard:Rapture finally

edit: also, for you to add to current RP of the Month, Jenny - http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php/Image:Moc.jpg

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

That is totally awesome :) excellent work

[Dasquian Belargic]

Hey, you used the image of LD I made ^_^

Added em both.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:D I like it, and I haven't gotten around to doing a non-B&W one, so thank you ;)

Glad you like, Charley. :)
