[Captain Untouchable]

Only a couple from me for now, because I haven't interacted with nearly enough of your characters nearly as much as I'd like to. New Years resolution: resolve this, and post with you more!

The first time I came across Alexia, her avatar was creepy and off-putting. Then I started reading, and realised that's the whole point. I can't quite put my finger on what it is I like about her so much, but there's something in the cadence of your narrative for her that just really clicks. I love the dynamic that you have with Vissica, and I'm really looking forward to getting to expand on stuff with her on Corellia - hopefully this blockade thing will help kick me up the butt a bit, and we can get some more interactions with Delgado going on.

I've always liked Trask, and the way that you've portrayed him as the normal, competent guy. He's the Empire's answer to Wedge Antilles: he's good at his job, and he just gets on with it. His TFA incarnation puts a delicious new twist on it, and I am loving the way you've turned that competence into something a little bit bitter. I'm really intrigued to see how that plays out once he starts rubbing shoulders with the rest of the Resistance, and once we're done with this initial thread with Luka, I already have plenty of ideas.

Narssiska Vraska is another character where I can't quite work out why I like her so much, but I really do. There's a certain elegance to the narrative and descriptions you use with her. In one of the threads on Jovan, there's a post where you're describing the wear and tear on a blaster - it's things like that which really sell her as a character for me, and it really fits with the vibe of her being the sort of person who pays a lot of attention to details. I need to get my proper Jovan Station characters sorted out - I have an intelligence officer who I've not done much with yet, and Vraska would be a very interesting acquaintance for him I think.

I really enjoyed what I've read of Xel-Naga, Jaassuuvi, and Ryloth so far. I've only seen little bits of them so far, but like I think pretty much all of your characters they are instantly interesting. There is nothing typical about any of your characters, they all feel fully formed and fleshed out, which is something I'm pretty envious of. Really looking forward to the prospect of doing stuff with Judas and Kyle on Corellia... and you will need to nag me about Thada Adel, because I've been wanting to do some Tukphen stuff with her for ages, and I keep forgetting.

Zereth is such an interesting character to me, and it's a shame I haven't had much chance to interact with him. I really enjoy the perspective of someone who clearly resides in the dark side's sphere of influence, but he does so with both eyes open and a pretty well-reasoned view of who he is. He's not a pawn and he's not abandoned himself in this path, but rather he has a pretty well defined ethos and strong reasons for doing what he does.

Alexia is a joy to write with. She and Vissica almost have a buddy cop rapport, and it's fun for those two to kind of test each other's limits. I definitely am curious to see how that relationship evolves, whether it remains a strictly working relationship or if there's more to it.

Tony is hilarious. He's vain, useless (in that good way that I love), and incredibly fun to read. I definitely want to see more of him in situations where he steps in something that he really shouldn't have, and to see how he somehow manages to come out of it unscathed.

Narssiska is a really cool character. I think that every space casablanca needs someone who's a bit more than they appear, and she's got layers to her. Kinda want to see her in action in a few different scenarios, because right now she's already being tested in a pretty big one.

[Aurelias Kazaar]

This is more of an evaluation of your writing: you've gotten so much better, than when you first started years ago. The growing of the characters and thoughtfulness to them is great. I look forward to writing with you now that we're both involved in Elutheria.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Mayael is one of my favorite of your characters. There's something to be said for brutally honest characters, and she certainly falls into that category. She makes no bones about what she does, and it's endearing. I really like the interactions between her and Kes, and I'd like to explore that some more. She's so matter of fact about her past as well, and I'd like to see her get really stopped in her tracks and get into the meat of her.

Mr. Feint is my favorite ^_^ The sacrifices he's made, and especially his and s'Il's first encounter. It was short, but you pulled off genuine mystery in a character, and I've wanted to know more about him ever since. I know we've done other meetings, but that first one resonates because you kept him in the shadows and really restrained giving too much information about him right then and there. I'd really like to see him and s'Il become more intertwined, and if you're keen to it, it might be interesting to have him and Teagan traveling together during TFA stuff. Not to mention I'd love to pick your brain and see what ideas you have for the Guardian race

Narssiska is fun. There's history to her, and you pull off an amazing balance of revealing just enough, yet not enough. The 'not enough' is really more in regards to how you leave the reader wanting to know more about her, and what she did before Jovan and what brought her to Jovan. The way you write her is so different to me, and it fits her so perfectly. You can sense that she's used to higher living, but she's also just as comfortable in the seedier surroundings and less-than-favorable conditions of life.

Alexia as an Imperial Knight has made me so happy ; she fleshes out what could have been a rather two-tone organization (Like the Brotherhood in Fallout 4) into something very interesting and diverse not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of personality and combat style. She has weight and she uses it against anyone and everyone and that's so refreshing compared to Iscandar and Atrapes, and her cunning and manipulativeness and sheer enjoyment of pain and suffering and destruction will serve as a bad role model for many aspiring Knights hahaha!

Damien Kantrael had such an interesting thing going with the Sons of Coruscant! If you're looking for something for him to do, shoot me a PM because there's some very interested parties who wouldn't turn down a chance to talk to him.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Sorry I missed this three years ago when you posted it.

I really love Jaas and all the little character quirks he has. Honestly I think your writing is rich and well developed, your characters are all interestingly unique, and you're really VERY GOOD at this. If you didn't have your AKA field filled out I bet people would be hard pressed to link all your characters together, they are diverse and quirky and each uniquely THEMSELVES.

Of course your sense of humor bleeds through into most of them, but that's a good thing. You can't write interesting stories without humor and tragedy, and you manage to balance them both with what seems like ease.

I love Jackal and Jaas, and then Karkoon is probably my next favorite of your characters. You capture his very unique outlook on life as a Shard so well. I love it and want to read more about him.



You should write a book.

[Charley]

I absolutely adore Mayael and I need to find more opportunities to write with her because shes so sweet she causes cavities

[Satkia Beltrak]

We've not written together much, save for the group thread on Cloud City that included both Xel-Naga and Alienor. And I think you had expressed interest in the mini arc I was trying to set up with my Moff Tatiana Renkl, for some imperial stuff. So, we should do more!

I admit I've not read that much with your characters, but I enjoyed what I did in the past three years. So I don't have much to offer at the moment, but hope I have more in the future!
