Faith is the heroism of the intellect.
Welcome to the First Episode of Spotlight! The focus of this episode is that pain in the neck, self-righteous "Jedi out of time" Master Caltin Vanagor!
Okay, all of “My”(JT) answers are in normal text. The big guy won’t let me write for him, so he is answering in his normal text and color. Weird, I know.
Kuxirra Tano-Bonteri Asked:
IC: What were the mythosaurs like? Just kidding. I know you're not that old. But seriously, what was it like when you were my age?
OOC: What's the "Eyebrow" flair supposed to mean?
They were enormous but fluffy, I could scratch them behind their scaly ears… I’m kidding. When I was your age, I was a Jedi Knight and traveling the stars. At this time, I was “taking the fight to the Sith”. That was a mistake because all this had done was put a target on my back. Oh well. Anyway as a whole it was an amazing time to be alive.
The eyebrow came from a joke, even before Dwayne Johnson was my playby. It just snowballed from there.

Liddaat Fuamung asks:
IC: I heard you were frozen in ice or something. What was it like?
Cold? I really don’t know after I blacked out. I woke up on a hospital bed eight hundred fifty some-odd years later.

An X-wing lover by the name of Okkeus Dainlei has some interesting questions:
IC: Out of the main letter ships (A-Wing, B-Wing, U-Wing, X-Wing, and Y-Wing) which one are you flying?
OOC: If you could have one force power IRL, what would it be?
I once owned a two-seater X-wing bomber… it was the only fighter I could fit in. Hey! Don’t laugh! I get stuck in those cockpits! Though you did give me an idea. I never took it out of the Temple… it might still be there. Hey, “Music”! Warm up the ship! We’re going to Coruscant!
Wow, talk about a 60 million dollar question. It probably would depend on the mood or situation, but to have one as a whole? Probably Force Shielding, so that my wife would not have to worry about me when I go to work, or get that “3am knock at the door”. (CUE- “T’AwwwwwWWWW”)

Vora Kaar
has one that no doubt a lot of readers and people are thinking:
IC: Why are you bald in an age when you could have hair transplanted?
A few reasons: 1. I was scalped by a Hutt gang when I was young, dumb, and full of… well never mind that. It was not an option, I tried. 2. If it IS one for me now, I just have not looked into it. Been a little busy with catching up on things. I mean come on, Han and Leia split up. Who knew? Lastly? Have you SEEN images of me with hair?

@Alisteri Haxim might have a challenge for the big guy, let’s his ask and find out:
IC: Who do you think you could lose an arm-wrestling contest with?
You, definitely you.

You know her, you love her. If Caltin hears you say that he will go “Darkside” on you, it’s
Ala Quin
:
IC: Who's a pretty princess?
OOC: How much does having to save Ala bother you?
Well, my little princess is and will always be my little girl Alyscia. Don’t worry, you come a cute second though, cool?
I’ll admit, there were a few times at the beginning where I couldn’t help but think “AGAIN?!” lol. However, the more these came along, the more development came out of them, and not only some interesting story arcs, but a DARN good dynamic came out of it. Now? It wouldn’t be a day without the big guy saving his little sis.

Jsc
IC: How do you deal with finances?
OOC: If I accidentally showed Dwayne your Avatar pic and he said, "Yesss!" How cool would it be to know that he approves of your selection?
My sister Tyria left me a little “nest egg” in a bank account back in the day. I never touched it, didn’t need to. I don’t really need it now, but it’s there (I checked) and collected some serious interest over time. So yeah, I’m good.
Funny you should bring this up. If you remember, Caltin’s first playby was Dominic Purcell of “Prison Break” and “Legends of Tomorrow” fame. Well, I did meet him and, I can’t make this up, his manager was doing a Google search on her phone. She saw some of my pics of him and said “Who is ‘Caitlyn Vanagor’?” I wanted to correct her out of instinct. I just kept my mouth shut.

That redheaded Mandalorian with the flowing sash Aloy Vizsla asked:
IC: What kinda music you got on that commlink?
OOC: Most people that make Jedi have young or old characters with a particularly average body type. What made pick such a huge Jedi?(I just find the difference from the norm visually interesting)
Mostly Jazzy tunes. A mix though. Ever heard of Dak Hobson? I’ve been listening to a lot of him lately.
Originally Caltin was supposed to be a good-hearted rich kid who just went through one personal hell after another and finally just could not take it anymore. He was going to fall to the Dark Side and fall BIG TIME. It’s in his bio. He was a self-proclaimed vigilante and was often fighting off a Hutt gang(this was before he was a Jedi) until meeting a man who became a mentor and taught him he could be better. The man was slaughtered and Caltin was going to go nuts on these monsters. Well, I was writing the story and suddenly saw this commercial of a little girl smiling and waving. I kid you not, that went on my screen, I was typing it. I couldn’t erase it either, I just couldn’t, something about it just kept me from doing so.
Long story short, I wanted to give the Jedi a berserker, so to speak, someone who they could just point at the Sith and get out of his way(I know, corny, but this was 2008!). Then, of course, he met Ala, and well… he mellowed.

Ala Quin
is back with another!:
IC: So. How did you settle into the Concord so quickly? I still feel homeless.
OOC: What is your favourite Non-George Lucas created Star Wars property?
Honestly? I don’t think that I’m settled in anywhere. I’m just trying to adjust, but I have Padawans, and little sisters to worry about, so I have to be strong.
Properties? Old School would be Kyle Katarn, and the Dark Forces books. This is not just because he is a great, layered character, but they introduce a certain Chiss fleet officer who would do pretty well for himself in the future.
Right now? Mandalorian, trendy and cheap, I know, but Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have an enormous hit on their hands.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
And another from Ala!:
IC: Found anyone special yet brother? I can set you up if you want
OOC: If there was one flavour that could be eradicated from existence, what would it be? (It would be gone from all-time so people that liked it would never know they did, so no harm there...)
I don’t know that I’m ready for that, yet. I’m an old man.
Butterscotch!
