(laughing hard) Geez,SamNMax, if we agree on something (aside from KOTR kicking butt), I wonder if it'll start thunderstoms on Tattooine! (VBG)

 

OK, character analysis...(digging out her stash of fanfic notes). Keep in mind, my default setting is a lady Light Sider....Here goes...

 

 

Carth: Some guys have issues, some guys have subscriptions, and others have the back catalogue of National Geographic. This is a guy who's spent his entire life trying to do the right thing, fight for the good guys, behave honorably, attempt being a good husband and father...tries to do right by the universe, only to have to universe whip around, kick him in the nuts, then laugh in his face.

 

Saul was his mentor, his friend,and his hero - a man to be trusted without question. What happened? Saul backstabs the Republic and sinks a few more knives into his ex-subordinate for good measure. Carth watches his homeworld get bombed to ashes and has his beloved wife die in his arms as he's screaming for the medics. His kid goes missing and ends up with the Sith...Look, I cannot blame the guy for being a little screwed up in the head.

 

He throws everything into revenge. It's his only reason to live now that everything he had is gone. Heck, even the Republic looks to be a lost cause by that point. Then, the Spire goes up in smoke, and he's stuck on an occupied world with an utter stranger and forced into trusting someone he knows absolutely zilch about. Again, short fuse...understandable.

 

Carth undergoes profound changes during the story. You meet him as a man who has no trust or faith in anyone -especially himself. As he comes along with the party, he starts warming to them (Mission and your character in particular). Even when Saul makes a last attempt to break his spirit, Carth's shaken badly, but he still has enough trust in your character to continue with the quest.

 

Mission: With a sunny smile, smart mouth, and a gigantic heart of gold, this young scoundrel charmed me right away. Yeah, she doesn't like being called a kid. What she's really objecting to is the implication that she's helpless. She's got a big need to be useful to others - whether as a Bek spy, your friendly Lower City "tour guide," or at your character's back with her vibroblade, blasters, and a fistful of computer spikes. And when the midpoint revelation hits, she's in your corner - seeing you as the good person she fell in with on Taris and not caring about what you were before it.

 

Zaalbar: Not much I know how to say about him. I'd wager he's an adolescent by Wookiee standards (75 standard years or so), a possible explanation for his moodiness and his friendship with Mission. He's terribly shy and reluctant to talk about himself - a product of the humiliation of exile and living among strangers who see his fierce appearance and make no bother to understand his words or respect him as a sentient being coming from a vibrant culture he was once preparing to lead.

 

Bastila: I quite disliked her when we picked her up. She had an overinflated ego just screaming for a sharp tack and looked down her pretty nose at non-Jedi, behaving in an outright rude fashion to the party at times. Not to mention her galling comments about how we saved her sorry hide...

 

But just as I had reached my last shred of tolerence for her, I figure out why. For one, she takes after her mom WAY too much. Secondly, the Jedi tend to spawn emotional cripples with their permanant separation of children from families at a frightfully young age, before the kid even really realizes what they're getting into. Thirdly, she knows damn well who you are, and gets the unenviable task from the Council of trying to make sure they get the information rattling in your head without certain other aspects asserting themselves. As far as jobs go, that one's no picnic. Like her? Not really. Understand and be willing to work with her? Yes.

 

T3M4: Not much to say, but he's a cute little fellow. I think of him as having the spirit of a Labrador retriever -albeit a Lab that can slice a computer and carry two blasters on his shoulders...

 

Canderous: He's more than he seems. You see him working as a thug for Davik, and almost literally dying of boredom. Davik doesn't know how to treat him, and it's like seeing a magnificent lion confined to a rusty dog kennel. Sure he's a nasty predator - you still want to get him out of that situation. Besides, he's good with plans and is a fellow that respects the results. He's actually friendly to someone that proves they can hold their own in a fight and follow through with a good plan. He doesn't even hold a grudge against the people what can beat him in a fight - it's all in how hard you work for the result. Appreciate his company, but never forget what he is - a predator with the cunning of a man.

 

During the quest, though, he is looking back on his years of bloodthirsty exploits and realizing what they've led to. He's getting on in years, and his people have turned into scattered bands of petty raiders. When he finally neets up with Jagi again, the price of his deeds kinda takes him by surprise. On the other hand, going up against no less then the Dark Lord of the Sith under the banner of the Jedi that took down Mandalore, and facing the entire might of the Sith in a dinky smuggling ship - now, that's impossible odds! That's a fight for the ages...and truly a place for a Mandalorian to give it his all.

 

Juhani: Her capacities astound me. Such a beautiful spirit in that character! At first you see her, she is in self-imposed exile, insane with grief and guilt over her terrible actions. She believes your character is only trying to destroy her, but when you holdahand in friendship instead, she makes the hard choice to return and face the consequences. Her feelings for your character swing from deep gratitude to hero worship, before finally solidifying into a loyalty and friendship as strong as durasteel plating. She has known the Dark side - an existance of sorrow, pain, and anger - and wishes it for no one. If she makes the attempt to strike you down for going Dark side, she does so out of friendship, granting a friend a final, terrible mercy.

 

HK-47 - Serious screw loose. I'm just glad he doesn't go bats and attempt to massacare the party! It really would be a waste of a hillariously warped and finely-crafted work of destructive art. His previous owners sounded like complete gits, though.

 

Jolee: He puts on the persona of a cranky old hermit, tries to appear that he doesn't give a damn...but his actions speak louder than that. Having seen enough of the extremes (the madness of Exar Kun for the dark, the near-worship of the Council and emotional cowardice of the "light side" Jedi), he says "screw it" to both and heads off by himself.

 

When he sees your party, something comes back to life in him, something he thought he left behind when he took up residence in the Shadowlands. He tells himself it's a variety of things (morbid curiosity, free food, a chance to explore, he's seen all he wants on Kashyyyk, etc.), but there is a different side of the story he doesn't even tell himself. He's craving a chance to set something right, to face the universe head-on again. When he enters that temple with your character, he's walking inas the Jedi Knight he had been all along. Juhani was quite blunt about it; Jolee does walk in the Light, and he walks with more wisdom and backbone than a room full of Jedi Masters because he's speaking from experience.
