Character Concept Opinions

I need them. lol

So, I have decided to work on the background of a character concept that I have been rolling around in my head for a bit since joining this board. However, I am wondering if I should go ahead on her or not.

Ok. Firstly, she is the descendant of a canon character (I won't say who for spoiler reasons). However, she is oblivious to her pedigree, as she was abandoned by her parents to an orphanage on Coruscant, feeling that her life would be better without their influence. Yet, as she grows into a young woman, she begins to have these upsetting visions from the Force concerning her legacy, even though the figures in these visions are vague shapes that influence her to and from each side of the Force. She first goes to the Jedi, who agree to train her. However, she becomes frustrated with the way the Jedi's solution to her problem (i.e. placating your emotions to find clarity). So she abandons the Order, and seeks elsewhere for help. She decides against the Sith, fearing they would only manipulate her into their philosophy. Instead, she travels the galaxy until she comes upon a Grey Jedi-like group (at the moment, I am consider her becoming an acolyte witch of the Awoken).

Apart of her journey is finding out the meaning of her visions, learning her legacy, and deciding whether or not to submit to the destiny that comes with these revelations.

Yea! You may or may not have basically told the story I had for Felran when I started with a few details different.

Not to state the obvious, but that plotline is essentially the plotline of every Star Wars trilogy made and making. Not that that's bad -- The Force echoes, after all. Every story should resemble the first one, if you're doing it right.

That said.... A better plotline would be having her suspect she's of some incredible Force-bearer origin and go through the motions of trying to confirm this incredible, life-validating suspicion, only to find that she's dead wrong. In her desperation to be somebody, she never learned to properly love herself...and now she's left with that same trivial person in the mirror that terrified her into delusion to begin with.

The very human trauma and tragedy of every person who dreamed of being the reincarnated Cleopatra. That's compelling stuff. I mean, ever see "Nebraska"?

I just had to say how much I adore this idea. If I didn't know how carefully I need to watch the number of threads I've got going for my one singular character I would be tempted to make a new character just to run with this <3
