Dreams and Wishes

Hello, everyone! I’m C, your current Sariss player (and more characters to come, because you’ve all been lovely) and I’ve got a curiosity I’d like to put to all of you.

I think we’ve all got ideas for roleplay we’d like to do that, so far, haven’t come to pass. Maybe it was just a wish for castmates, or a specific sort of plot you haven’t gotten to do, or some grand design you’ve never been able to enact. Or that super idea that you’ve never quite been able to make come together, or there’s just a piece missing you can’t figure out.
So let’s share all of those! Post about your character(s) and your goals for them, and the dreams and wishes you’d have for them! Everyone else can comment, join in, and talk about how great your ideas are if nothing else. Maybe someone else in the comm can help you workshop an idea or give a character you both know a try – if we’re extremely lucky, we’ll make at least a couple of those wishes come true!

I’ll start it off. I’ll preface this by saying that I’m 100% certain this will never come to pass, but I always loved this idea. (And if I wrote fic, I’d have figured out how to do it already!) Back in my University days, I minored in Classics. I love the rare occasions I’ve gotten to translate classic myths from any culture into RP as a result.

So I always wanted to create an analogy of the Furies from Greek mythology with two other Force-user characters from the Star Wars universe. The Furies were sisters; punishers of mortals for their sins, each with specific areas of authority. Sariss would be one. (standing in for Megaera, punisher of oath-breakers, infidelity, and theft) The next would be Juhani, from the first Knights of the Old Republic game. (standing in for Alecto, punisher of moral crimes) Last would be Asajj Ventress from the Clone Wars series (as Tisiphone, punisher of murderers).

(The specific comparisons are there for any fellow mythology nuts out there!)

I just like the idea of these Force Furies functioning either as a sort of secret group or just uniting as friends/allies out of common interest and background. That the other two are fantastic characters I’d love to rp with is a huge bonus.

So what’s your dream or wish? Basically, let's talk characters!

skekGra - A skekGra theater troupe would be awesome. He'd be the kind to try and recruit people for his plays and be ridiculous and fun. He reads a lot of Earth plays so I can see him trying to stage some weird Nexus version of Shakespeare or something. Comedy ensues.

skekSa - My dream plot for her is for skekSa to lead an expedition out into the Wilds to find the Nexus's sea. Then she'd probably divide her time between exploring the Nexus's oceans and running her tavern on the mainland, but bringing her ship into the setting would lead to all kinds of fun possibilities.

Indoraptor - The Indoraptor has hatchlings, somehow, and isn't the only member of his species anymore. Alternately, he meets other dinosaur characters and hangs out with them. All of the dinosaurs.

Palmer - The Thing is the reason he can't return to his world, so a plot off in his world where he deals with it could be very fun. Great opportunity for a small-scale, suspenseful adventure and an opportunity for CR as characters deal with the existential threat of infection.

Ben - Well, obviously I'd love to do more things with him and other SW castmates. Sparring for sure, and opportunities for angst and drama are welcome. I love it when he encounters Legends/EU characters, personally, and my dream is for him to run into a Jacen and/or Jaina.

(And that Force Furies idea is really cool, by the way. I love it.)

Hi.This is a very cool idea. I like comparisons to mythology and using those as parameters. It makes me want to go back and read/watch Joseph Campbell stuff.


I would adore a God to play with Lucifer prior to the fall and then through the events of the fall. I would adore to see someone's interpretation of how God felt in the fall and to play that off of Lucifer's energy. (On the other side I want to play Lucifer after he defeats God and realizes he has to step into the throne... however, I am angling that already in his current storyline so that is on the horizon.. but not for awhile still.)

And an Eve. In Paradise Lost Lucifer falls in love with Eve. That would be fun to play. I have taken it so far that Cain is rebellious because he is Lucifer's son instead if Adam's.

I would also adore a Meredith for my Solomon Kane. In his Canon she goes to the Americas and he supposedly never sees her again. I would love to have him go find her because she (and her mother) are probably the only people he truly cares for. I would love to see how it would change his character to have her in his life.

I know Delia would be up for the expedition, if nothing but for the fun of it.

The Lucifer TV show is ok. It was supposed to be the Gaiman Lucifer (which is a take on Paradise Lost) but aside from dress and the nightclub they have little in common. I like the show as a stand alone but it made me very sad to see it wasn't going to be what they said it was going to be.

Paradise Lost has no Lillith, so my Lucifer would have no opinion other than hmm.. some other creation got a little wierd. And the thing with Eve is only a tiny stretch. In Paradise Lost, when Lucifer sees Eve the first time, he is so enamored he forgets to be evil, he becomes unfallen.. presumably because someone else is more important or he has regained his ability to love or something along those lines.

The expedition could be a lot of fun! I think it would be a great opportunity for CR, exploration, and characters working together. skekSa likes the Baron's company, but for a practical expedition she would probably pick Sariss for help. XD

I have a Vergere somewhere gathering dust, and one of my goals is to review the old EU, so I might come out of it with more SW characters to play. I probably will, since I have fond memories of it. I do have some EU characters I'd be curious about playing once I have a better grip on their characterizations.

I've heard of that sub. Musemostwanted, I think?

Yes! A Delia and skekSa teamup would be a lot of fun.

Hello hello!

I'm not looking for anything in specific, but I'm always happy to throw Rey at any SW characters. I'm currently slowly playing the first KOTOR so it'll be neat to see any of those characters around.

Drag me into your plots; I'll probably be thrilled. :D

I'm going to be playing KOTOR myself for the first time in thirteen years, and I might come out of it with a new muse, since I've feeling Star Warsy a lot lately. It's a great game. Hope you have fun with it, too. :D

I'd be happy to chuck any new Star Wars muses at Rey, and I'm totally game for future plots involving Ben or any other characters.

I'm going to be so slow getting through KOTOR that it's anyone's guess if I'll ever get to two. I've interacted with a few Revans who are fun, though. I'm Bioware trash for days, though, so it's time I played them at long last.

And yes, Rey is from end of TROS around here, though in memes I'll play her from all over the place. Ben has already warned Rey that there's another Darksider around. Shouldn't be a disaster at all!

I need to shove her back at the Nexus finally. My brain has been on an extended break but she needs to finally interact with Ben in person again.

I don't have any strict plans at the moment, the pandemic's kinda thrown my life into a haywire meatgrinder, so I've been on semi-hiatus while I do my best to survive and recover from the stress of being EssentialTM.

But hiya! I play the resident ex-Sith Assassin (as well as Delia, [personal profile] attackpatternbattista, above).

I'm in a certain Retail Pharmacy, so it's a germ factory where all the sick people go. So it's been Extra Fun.

Pleased to meet'cha as well!

I'll see if I can check it out.

skekSa's got a place for both. :D She's totally up for hanging out with the Baron and telling stories, but she's practical when it comes to a serious exploration.

I'd really appreciate the pointers. :) I have a few Star Wars books, but most of them are back in my old apartment and I can't get them until quarantine ends.

Ooh, Kyle Katarn! That'll be fun. I'd love to interact with him. As for EU characters, I'll definitely be bringing Vergere back, and I'd love to play Revan or Mara Jade if I ever get the confidence. Mara was my favorite EU character back in the day.

I pretty much read it once or twice a year and have for decades. XD (That would be the reason why I keep picking up more and more angels from it. XD)

I like Paradise Lost Lucifer for where he diverges from typical views and scripture. He doesn't rule hell or human souls, told God to stuff that job. Sneaks into Eden more than once. Is very diplomatic and rational. Becomes a king/ruler to give the other angels trapped in the fire hope enough to escape, more or less. He has a lot of qualities that make him very good for playing.. despite his soaring ego and arrogance. XD

I have written about Eve and Lucifer, and the birth of Cain as well. One other divergence for Eve in Paradise Lost is that Lucifer doesn't manipulate her much (trust?) and she doesn't tempt Adam with the apple. Adam sees she ate it and eats from it to share her fate. These leave a lot of places to play with WTH was Lucifer doing to/with Eve? And fun things such if Cain is rebellious because he is Lucifer's, then Eve and Lucifer took each other's virginity and what does that mean in religious context.

Any way:
Here is the Eve Stuff I wrote. If you want to read them in order it would be Serpent in Paradise, In Paradise, and the I Give My Pride (Note this has some elements of Lucifer's torture in it)

(I will now stop rambling on and on. XD)

Thank you very much! I owe myself an EU binge-read.

Mara is amazing and I want to play her once I've properly canon-reviewed and voicetested. When I play a favorite character, I feel a lot of pressure to get them right. XD

Looking forward to it. I'm in the position of being a relatively new Star Wars fan introduced to the series through the new movies and who's currently exploring the old EU, so it'll be a lot of fun.
