Feedback 500 posts, lets go! [Azurine feedback]

[Azurine Varek]

Hello everyone!

What a milestone, we've hit 500 posts with Azurine. It came a little slower than I might have liked, but at the same time it's been quite a journey! So, now I believe it's time for some feedback on how things have been going.

What do you like? What do you dislike? Are there things I've done that you believe can use improvement, or are there things about the character that you want to see done more often?

All I ask for is that everyone is respectful, not just to me but to others who reply. That being said, let me have it guys!


Some threads that I am particularly proud or fond of thus far:

Spoiler

Azurine has been a treat.

It's refreshing to see another rebel era cryobaby, with the twist being that she was much younger than Jonyna was when she went in the ice, and thus is much more inexperienced.

As a fellow rebel cryobaby, there's a lot to dig into with Azzie. Her broken dyad, her homeworld being freed, her rebellious tendencies and headstrong approach.

I'd love to see where she goes from here. Chaos writers love their trauma, but I hope Azurine has only sunshine and rainbows in her future.

You know how much I adore Azzie, but I can never overstate it. She is such a well rounded character with incredible depth that blows my mind. Her development, though I was a little late to the party in following, has been amazing to see, and as I catch up with older works I only find I love that development more and more.

She's the biggest sweetheart. Her natural need to care and fight for what's right is so beautifully captured in your writing, and her bubbly, fiery personality is so infectious. It's impossible not to love her. I stand by what I said about her being one of my favourite characters on the board right now.

As her writer, you continue to blow my mind. I learn a lot from all your posts, in how you treat Azzie, describe her experiences and interactions with her environment. The diversity of moods you can capture is astounding. It's inspiring.

You're killing it. Azzie is killing it. And I'm glad to be able to write with you!

I've definitely become an Azurine fan after reading a couple threads! not just ours but I love it a lot

I know you have big plans for her so sorry in advance if this is smth you already plan to explore either during or probably after her next character arc, but the level of anger she feels despite being a Jedi fascinates me, and I'd love to see how that might conflict with other Jedi and especially how it affects her light side powers given that, to my understanding at least, those negative emotions can weaken one's light sided powers and vice versa especially if unchecked(and there does seem to be a lot of anger from what I've read.)

I just personally think it's an interesting conflict in any star wars story and I'd love to see how it affects her!
Mind you I've never written a proper Jedi before and I'm also a little late to the party, so take it with a grain of salt <3
