AH~~~! I see… Okay okay, I was thinking Pandora was an alternate Earth that had the exact same history (with some name differences) up until 1995. I falsely assumed the timeline was our Western timeline. Silly me. You see? This is why I can be dense sometimes.Just to be absolutely sure this time, can you describe how the world was like before the war? Was it like our Earth in 1990's (minus the Star Wars) or was it more like one of the Final Fantasy series? Sorry for all the trouble. I should have asked these questions earlier.We don't need to have wookiees since I obviously made a mistake… Though………….…………… What would they be like in the world of Pandora? Giant primates that are the primary demographic of Pandora's equivalent of Herbal Essences? … Huh, maybe this can be a "Shared Memory of Max": Max and his friends trying to capture a wookiee… Hmm…Oh and Gentle Giant? Yeah. That's basically Kimberly. Spot on. At least I got the “oh, he is the this-and-that guy” part right.Also, did you want me to cut down the number of deaths? The high death count was: 1.) To make sure no one will ever question whether Kimberly's father was innocent since he's dead and the case is officially closed (maybe I can connect this case to the main plot, but I'll keep it vague until then); 2.) So that people can give Kimberly a hard time about his mother committing suicide and attempting to kill him in the processes; 3.) Have the "Sound" ability connected to witnessing/hearing life leave his mother's body; 4.) Make Kimberly protective of his friends and family because he knows how it feels to loose someone and how easy a life can be taken away; and 5.) One of the reasons why he'll do everything in his power not to take another person's life... drama will ensue if he does kill someone.

The world is the same as Earth in terms of geological and cosmological attributes: there are two poles, five continents, (there were seasonal cycles), there is a sun and a moon, etc., but history and culture are not the same, which is why something like Star Wars would not exist, or any other popular culture references. You are not dense. How are you supposed to know this stuff if I don't say it? The years in the Timeline References is just a coincidence. I might just as well have written years between 2345 and 2368. The world before the war was the direct opposite of what it is now. It was lush and green, peaceful and tranquil. Whatever memory people might have of it is good, and after the war, extremely idealized.

A Wookiee on Pandora could be a hairy, giant primate. Sounds about right and 'realistic.' I should not be the only one contributing to this world, so this is great. Yes, trying to capture or do something with a wookiee could be a shared memory of Max, I like it.

Nope, my remark on the death count was just that, a remark. The reasons you listed seem to work well with each other and the overall concept of your character. However, don't let that drama if your character kills someone cripple him or your roleplaying.
