[Tefka]

I nominate Arla Rodarch .

 

[Brynjar Threist]

I want to nominate Aelin Erevos

Leader of the Lupo, been great fun to write stuff in Lupo once again and Aelin is an amazing character who is totally, definitely going to free our people!!! (Also totally not bias devoted follower that will fight anyone who dares to insult my great leader!) Current thread here has been a lot of fun and previous stuff has been great as well!

Question: What is your favourite food to eat?

 

[Darth Strosius]

I nominate Darth Empyrean !

There are a lot of big personalities in the Sith Order all with their own fun stories, and as such it takes quite the stern hand to keep them all in line and on track. Thankfully the Sith Emperor is more than able to command attention and respect as shown here, as well as being a force of nature on the battlefield.

Question: What would your character's favorite Star Wars trilogy be?

 

[Jasper Kai'el]

Corazona von Ascania

Look, they're still out here cooking. Banger article with awesome backstory, planning things for folks to engage with. I am always here for the continued growth of a character, and I like that even with a good deal of things resolved there's still a lot to see from Cora in regards to their past. I won't go through and link everything I loved last month, but I def suggest you give their article a read. I am part of the racoon hive mind and a shill for their grand plan.

Question: Where did the community brain cell go?

Question: Where did the community brain cell go?

I went on vacation bro

But nah really, I was either busy moving or on vacation this past month and couldn't pay as much attention to my usual Chaos exploits, which makes it hard for me to provide examples of exceptional RP. Alicio Organa also seems to have kept kind of a low profile in July, sticking to mainly private threads. That was a good choice, considering that June saw him become the Vice Chancellor of the GA, but it doesn't look as good on a monthly nomination post.

So, I'm going to second the nomination for Corazona von Ascania , who I feel has undergone a return to form after spending a while seemingly just spinning her wheels narratively. She was easily the best Chaos character of 2023, and I'm happy to see her going back to her roots. Would love to catch a glimpse of her in Sith black. I'm sure she'd rock it.

I will go back to my regular schedule of nominating Alicio Organa every month in September.

Question: If you could put your character in any other era of Star Wars history, what time period would it be and why?

 

[Katarine Ryiah]

I would like to nominate Connel Vanagor . His character is on a really interesting journey right now and it’s been fun to read.

My question: where do you see the character in five IC years?

 

[Allyson Locke]

I nominate Marlon Sularen

This guy is one of the best Non Force User villain on the site. He always has a scheme up his sleeve, he's always looking for ways to screw over people that have wronged me and the man holds the best grudges. I will say some of my favorite things to read in invasions is Marlon's evil villainy. You love to hate him, but you love to love him. He is consistent and I love the Scar/Jaffar Disney villain

Dude stay consistent, keep giving great content - I love reading your stuff.

Apparently Sularen has been MoTM glad he got some recognition

 

[Nouqai Veil]

Who’s better than Darth Empyrean ? None other than the wife Srina Talon of course. my char has only interacted with Srina Talon once. Her way of thinking is unique, with her considering all of the sith hers. Also super badass. And props for not unaliving my poor falentra and whooping @Darth Strosius’ ego likely more than once now.

Question: if your character was a plant what type would it be and why?

 

[Elias Edo]

I’m nominating my good pal Nathan Bloodscrawl for MOTM! Nathan’s an awesome character with so many layers of development that I’ve had fun watching unfold over the last couple of years. There’s always a steady line of dark, epic stories to write with him and I enjoy the friendship we’ve built both in- and out-of-character.

Hats off to Nathan Bloodscrawl

Question: Which obscure Star Wars species is your favorite? Can be sentient or non-sentient.

 

[Efret Farr]

I second Nathan Bloodscrawl and the reasons given by Elias!

Question: From what or who do you find the most inspiration to write this character?

 

[Nouqai Veil]

During the nomination step, you must ask the winner a question for your nomination to count. Yes, that means in this thread, along with the nomination also put a question for the eventual winner, ya scamp.

Not to be that person but^

 

[Efret Farr]

edited because I rarely read haha

thanks for being that person

 

[Brandyn Sal-Soren]

If I was permitted to do so, my nomination would be Cybelle Elyance . Yes, this is pretty niche. But this character has been a consistent delight to write opposite for the past few years. She is all at once determined, confident and charming, but also timid, shy and introverted. She is a furious defender of those that she loves. And she has subtly sown seeds of drama in every thread, sometimes every post of each thread. The emotional baggage is never forgotten for an easy cute moment, but instead it is woven into each sentence. In the past month, she has been written in two completely contrasting threads - one all romance, and the other all drama and heartache. Both were done with equal alomb.

Threads: Lovey dovey one, and the drama thread.


Question: what is the one type of character do you think that you struggle to write the most?

 

[Brandyn Sal-Soren]

Obviously, this has closed for nominations. Been a tad preoccupied sorry.

Will get the vote up tomorrow.

 

[Srina Talon]

This is very sweet of you but I like to leave the awards to the members. You guys are the real MVP's - I appreciate all of you.

Question Answer: Poison Ivy...She makes you itch lol

Question: what is the one type of character do you think that you struggle to write the most?

Just like before...I like leaving the awards to you guys, but all of this is nice to hear. I'm so glad you enjoy her! (Relieved, honestly, she's a pain.)

Answer: Pure....Evil. Most of my characters have some redeeming qualities (even if they're hard to find) but I tend not to write "evil" for "evils sake".
