MEME: Anon Love

[joan_of_bark]

It's been almost exactly 6 months since we last did this, and I've had my first good night's sleep in weeks. Time for the love meme!

1. Make a comment to this post with the name of your character/s.
2. Go through and leave anonymous comments in other characters' threads saying something nice about them. (This can be about the character or how they're played, or even something nice about the player; any of this is acceptable as long as they're nice things.)
3. Read the comments your characters get and feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

Cal Kestis

Keeping in mind that I know nothing about the game that Cal is from: I find him such a wonderful and fascinating character. His struggle between being attached and his devotion to being a Jedi is well thought out and engaging to read.

Do I pin his conversations with Arden so I can read their interactions? Yes. Yes I do. But I love to see the passion you have for him as well, which is clear with how you write him.

Also: The whole psychometric reading he did on Arden over the weekend was fantastic! I so enjoyed seeing him in Arden's plot and can't wait to see what you'll do with that paring next!

I like the games, but I always found Cal a little bit bland. You have completely turned me around with your take on him! You've done a really good job at finding all his nuances and his complexities and teasing them out into FH. It's made me appreciate the games more.

Also, his relationship (or lack thereof) with Arden: doofuses.

I am so, so glad that Cal is the character that brought you back, both for the joy of getting to RP with you and also for the imperfect perfection that is Cal Kestis (and BD-1).

Nothing brings me greater joy than watching characters torn between two powerful, opposing, but understandable forces in their life. Does he stay true to the original Code, which is restrictive, yes, but was the guiding force (Force?) of his life until the fall, where turning his back on it feels like a betrayal of everyone who was lost and the life he had? Or does he give into the pull of love and friendship and deep attachments, the kinds of things that actually give reason and meaning to life and to fighting? Is it better to feel his emotions and walk the tightrope between learning to handle them/falling to the Dark Side? Or does he shy away from them entirely, leaving him safe but also potentially vulnerable later? Does he stay here or does he go home? (although that one is slightly resolved)

Getting pulled in all these different directions and having to muddle through and find his own way makes for such a GOOD, compelling character that we get to root for and pulls from the themes of the games perfectly.

Also, he and Arden should kiss, I'm just saying.
