A+ quote. 'Bout as true as it gets. Nyx here has a bad perspective. She grew up with people telling her Jedi suck, then got messed up by Sith. As a soldier she's seen all sorts of horrible things. Things she won't forget. And she's always needed someone or something to blame. Why all this chaos?... After having Sith needles jabbed in her face, she chose to hate pretty much all force users. Why? Because to her they caused all of her problems. Messed up a lot of other people as well. The only kind of forcies she likes are those who only fight when necessary, only protecting, those who keep themselves separated from politics, and those who seek to better the galaxy as well as themselves. With that said, the Republic's Jedi Order is quite possibly the one she'd be most likely to turn to. While they obviously aren't filled with those sort of people, they do have quite a few, and are the most well known. Nyx may have grown up with bad stories about them... she also learned a lot about them from less biased sources. Even worked with a couple after her ship crashed.
When it comes to Nyx becoming a Jedi... I don't know if that's what she'd want. Hell, I used to be sure the most she's ever going to do with the force is light her cigarette without realizing she hadn't clicked her lighter yet. But I don't really want to set a path in stone for her. Maybe she'll get the poison out and spend the rest of her years (all 5,000ish) recording history for the Jedi Order. Or maybe she'll end up being consumed by the poison and just kind of fall over awkwardly as she croaks. She shall flow with the story, with only a few nudges here and there from me. Besides that I'm just going to wind her up, put her down, at watch where she ends up going. At least that's the plan. Right now she's standing on the edge of the Protectorate, needing credits, and wondering when she'll wake up with only one eye working. Going to the Republic is something I'm 90% sure she's going to end up doing. In her mind that would only be for the treatment though. What happens there is up to the story.
Sure, I know how her mind works. It's up to me how she reacts to things. But I can't predict what others are going to do, say, and think while they're around her. Maybe someone will sit her ass down and have a long talk with her. Maybe they'll have earned her trust somehow. Maybe she'll listen to them. But maybe someone won't, or maybe the person who does isn't someone she has any respect for. Or maybe they'll pick the wrong time and she just won't bother to pay attention. Nyx has her goals, her dreams, that's for sure. So does everyone else. What they do affects her and vice versa. My only hope for her is that she leads me to a great story with better writing and greater characters. If that means doing something else than what I originally thought out... well that's okay with me. It's all about the story. Well, and the fun!
With that said... I'd find it pretty
fun if Nyx spent some time with Corvus. Wouldn't have to be a recurring thing, but I think it would be interesting to see how it goes! If Ms. Raaf can handle having a Ticon as a padawan... I'm pretty sure she can handle a soldier who lacks social skills. Plus, you wouldn't have to worry about her doing anything but reading in the library

Well, you might find her asleep at a computer terminal... but only because she stayed up to late doing research. Nyx really does seem like a mean kind of girl, who just likes shooting things, but she's full of surprises. You just have to work a little to get to 'em. Kind of like the quote from her bio says:
“And above all else: Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest of secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely of places. Those who don't believe in magic, those who do not look, will never find it.”
Sorry if I rambled or if parts of this didn't make any sense. Nyx isn't the only one who stays up to late sometimes, heh heh...
I really need a nap.
