Basically, since not everyone will have the opportunity to read the applications, this thread is to introduce the character you'll be using for your roleplaying here on our forums. I suggest everyone develop a character to some degree before using them, I've found the following template helpful to that end. Credit for the template goes to Reapyr on the SWTOR forums.

To help with additional character development, begin asking yourself questions about your character. Credit for these goes to Gotham Writer's Workshop.

Questionnaire

• What is your character’s name? Does the character have a nickname?

• What is your character’s hair color? Eye color?

• What kind of distinguishing facial features does your character have?

• Does your character have a birthmark? Where is it? What about scars? How did he get them?

• Who are your character’s friends and family? Who does she surround herself with? Who are the people your character is closest to? Who does he wish he were closest to?

• Where was your character born? Where has she lived since then? Where does she call home?

• Where does your character go when he’s angry?

• What is her biggest fear? Who has she told this to? Who would she never tell this to? Why?

• Does she have a secret?

• What makes your character laugh out loud?

• When has your character been in love? Had a broken heart?

Neither of these things are required, but it is the leadership's belief that answering these questions, and following the template will lead to a better character overall because it makes you THINK about your character and their motivations before you play them in an RP-setting.

Biography: As his mother had died during childbirth, he was raised by Harvo Kathan, a grey Jedi who was exiled from the Jedi Council for his unothrodox views (also known as 'Bindoism'). Tellen was learning the ways of the Jedi from an early age, but outside the wisdom of a Jedi Temple. His father had taught him the basic principles of combat, Force Use, emotion control and wisdom, in addition to his regular studies at the Educational Academy of Darlon Moon. He was an intelligent boy, with a creative and perceptive mind. No-one but his father knew this was due to the Force.

But soon, his virtually utopian life was shattered where the Sith made thier final push for the Core Worlds along the Hydian Way. Denon was hit badly, and its moon, Darlon, was destroyed. The Sith landed there first and turned it into a bombed-out warzone within weeks. With his father left to go fight in the war, Tellen had to escape on his own.

He found the family droid, V4-P0 stacked away in a secret stash, who came in useful during encounters with the Sith. Unfortuantly, the pair were within reach of the landing pad where they came into contact with a pair of Sith Snipers. They fought them off and killed them (with a combination of Veefor's hidden weaponary and dumb luck) but Veefor was shot by one of the snipers in the hassle. He just had enough motor oil and undamged components left to get to the ship with Tellen, and escape the planet. Soon afterwards, the droid collapsed and was wrecked in the cockpit of Tellen's new ship, Halber's Vengeance.

Left drifting in deep space, Tellen was alone and the situation seemed desperate. Just as he had given up all hope, a lone starfighter piloted by the Mon Calamarian Jedi Master Tuhdar, who discarded his starfighter, Boarded Kathan's ship, and flew him back to Tython. He also recognised Kathan's potential as an adept, and felt that the Force was very strong in him. Unfortunately, Tuhdar was unable to take on Kathan as a padawan learner, as he was busy on his own. Tellen was left at the Jedi Temple for some time awaiting the acceptance of a Jedi Master.

The next few years of Tellen's life were hectic at best. It was an uncomfortable period for Tellen, and one which he did not enjoy talking about. Suffice to say he completed his training (which took him above and beyond the norm for Jedi training) and became a Knight. He spent many years serving the Republic and the Jedi dutifully while his thoughts rested on his missing father.

During a mission to kill the Sith Marauder Harkansha Tellen's ship, the Halber's Vengeance, was shot down in orbit of the planet Talus, and Tellen was forced to bale out without a paracute. He was able to break his fall with the Force but the velocity at which he was travelling was enough to break a few of his ribs. He sat for a while nurturing his wounds with the Force, when he heard Sith coming through the bushes. In know fit state to fight, he fled the crash site as fast as a man with broken ribs could, and came upon a strange building. It opened up for him - and only him, not the Sith - and sealed behind him. It was a fully-fleged but cleverly disguised Jedi Enclave. Puzzled, he activated a holocron found in the center and realised that it was identical to his anscestor's, Halber Lepras. It told him of a group that had long been in creation named "The Fillorean society" that would only be activated by several people in leadership positions in the Republic.

Astounded, Tellen researched the Society and found that the trail lead him to a group of Senators with strong political views, headed by Sergei Meranov, coincidentally, the Senator for Talus...

Questionnaire

• What is your character’s name? Does the character have a nickname? Tellen Silversun is rarely called by his two nicknames, but very oocaisionally they are "Telly" or "Redcoat".

• What is your character’s hair color? Eye color? Silver, with blue eyes.

• What kind of distinguishing facial features does your character have? His face is long, almost pointed, and he has restless eyes.

• Does your character have a birthmark? Where is it? What about scars? How did he get them? Scars frequent his body in occaisional places. He has slightly dark skin, which is not pigmentation, but from scorch marks all over his body that have healed. They came from torture at the hands of Querto Silversun.

• Who are your character’s friends and family? Who does she surround herself with? Who are the people your character is closest to? Who does he wish he were closest to? He always knew his father, who is alive and well, and is a long-serving member of the Denon President's advisory corps. His Mother died in childbirth, and he was an only child. He wishes that his father would join Glaive Lepras' shipping firm, as Glaive united the dispirate factions of Lepras House (The Leprases, The Soras, The Kathans and The Silversuns) but his father is the only one who did not express support for it. Currently, he regards Cerin Jaica, Sergei Meranov, Abas Barutylm, Tay-Mar Delvin, Sol Deran, Glaive Lepras, Kaynan Solomar, Jagger Cyde, Luchenco and Banol Jen'sarai as his closest friends and allies.[/b]

• Where was your character born? Where has she lived since then? Where does she call home? He was born on 37th Colonial Plaza, Darlon. He since lived in the Jedi Temple on Tython until he was 19, where he lived on Kriph'An moon until he was 22, then travelled back to Tython. He then aquired a large sum of money from the accounts of Deema Zarkot, upon which he bought his own small stronghold on Denon. After he discovered the existance of the Fillorean Society, he sold his stronghold and used the Transport stowed there as his home. Afterwards, he used the Sophic Quaters at the Fillorean Society as his main base, along with The Viridian as his own mobile residence.

• Where does your character go when he’s angry? The training room to bust up some remotes.

• What is her biggest fear? Who has she told this to? Who would she never tell this to? Why? His biggest fear is to lose the Jedi Order like in the last Jedi Purge. He would tell this to his closest friends and allies (see above) and no-one else.

• Does she have a secret? He is more politically minded than he makes out to be, and will often champion left-wing or liberal politics and be somewhat less co-operative with far or extreme right-wing parties.

• What makes your character laugh out loud? Gizka. They're so cute and mischievous. And intellectual, fast-paced comedy from Denon.

• When has your character been in love? Had a broken heart? Tellen has learnt to control the emotion of love. However, he has had a few 'flings' in the past. He has not told anyone purely on the basis that no-one has asked - yet.

Biography:Midoran was abandoned by his parents as a mere child on the gruesome planet of Hutta. He was negectfully tossed into the streets with no home or guardian, forced to steal and pilfer for food in order to survive. Throughout his childhood he was considered a street rat, and a run of the mill thief.

From day one his entire life was a gamble. Day to day he relied on cunning and wit to protect him from the possible binds of slavery. He settled for living in a burrow far from the public eye, where he could safety spend his nights without any Hut interference. He wanted more, he wished to one day leave his home planet and be free of the fear that was haunting him.

When he grew older he developed many ties within his community, he acquired a large number of connections with business men and gained many allies. He was capable of getting his hands on almost anything he required, weapons, explosives, resources,all he had to do was pull a few strings. By the time he became of age Midoran realized he was a natural born "Smuggler" ready to storm the galaxy in pursuit of riches, and he was willing to put it all on the line to obtain it.

After years of poverty Midoran managed to forage for enough ship parts to build a small cruiser, allowing him to finally escape Hutta. He was free to choose his own fate, pursue true wealth, and sell his loyalty to the highest bidder.

Both are dark brown.

• Does your character have a birthmark? Where is it? What about scars? How did he get them?
No birthmarks, but a few scars from simply traveling around with Tai (not to mention the occasional bar fight), although the scar on his face is from an event on Tattooine Vigo doesn't like to speak of.

• Who are your character’s friends and family? Who does he surround herself with?
The only family Vigo has left is the man he travels with named Tai, a friend of his mothers before she disappeared. Other than Tai, Vigo doesn't seem to get past the acquaintance stage with people, as he's always on the move.

• Where was your character born? Where has she lived since then? Where does she call home?
He was born on Coruscant, 7 years after the Treaty of Coruscant. After that, he traveled around with Tai, living everywhere from Alderaan to Tattooine. His most familiar stomping grounds is Tai's ship, a well-worn light freighter the old soldier won some years ago in a pazaak game.

Anywhere quiet, usually his quarters on the Junker, but wherever he can "get away" suffices.

• What is his biggest fear? Who has he told this to? Who would he never tell this to? Why?
He's slightly claustrophobic, and regards narrow corridors and small spaces to be "Death traps" if anything goes wrong.
He'd never tell Tai, as he knew the weathered veteran would simply laugh and tell him to not be so paranoid.

He's colorblind in his left eye.

• What makes your character laugh out loud?
Many things, but seeing klutzes always strikes a sweet note.
