[quote=@Ellri]The nicknames seem… off… Something doesn’t feel “star wars-ey” about them.[/quote] I'm open for suggestions as to how to informally refer to Dede or any other nicknames which could be used for her. I was trying to convey her relaxed attitude to command, similar to the way Anakin allowed Ahsoka to call him 'Flyguy' early in their relationship and the way droids are nicknamed throughout the canon. By the way, the Double De is not a reference to her physical appearance in any way. :lol [quote=@Ellri]When you refer to gaseous environments… Do you mean anything with a fairly normal atmosphere?[/quote] Yes, any environment with air to breath as opposed to liquid environments such as Glee Anselm, Mon Calamari, Manaan or Kamino (or portions of Naboo.) [quote=@Ellri]Perhaps you had her first treated there, then brought to the temple for the final bits of recovery before redeployment?[/quote] Dede didn't awake from her hibernation until she was at the Jedi Temple and so has no memory of where she may have been treated before that. It's possible there were complications in her forced hibernation which meant she'd need to be treated by a specialist who was only available at the Temple, or that she was simply moved there for her recuperation once her wounds had been dealt with, but as she was captured while still in recovery she hasn't had a chance to find any of that out yet. It's possible there may be a mystery there for her to solve. [sub][sub]Dun-dun-durrr...[/sub][/sub] [quote=@Ellri]You mention she’s not good at deflecting blaster bolts back, yet give her Force Deflection. That doesn’t exactly rhyme. We’d suggest having only the tutaminis there. The way tutaminis works, she could absorb the energy from blaster bolts into her body and either diffuse it or channel it away completely. For regular deflection, use the lightsaber. Its much more reliable.[/quote] Since Dede carries a pair of shoto 'sabers deflection with her blades is difficult, so she's learnt to use her Force abilities for deflection instead. Most of the time she'll just use her agility to avoid incoming fire, but when trying to cover someone else this wouldn't be an option. [quote=@Ellri]we assume you mean “Glee Anselm” rather than “Glee Anslam”, as the latter doesn’t appear in the wiki.[/quote] Typo, sorry. I did spell it right in the 'Relations' section when referring to her family though. :D [quote=@Ellri]How old do you imagine her being when recruited?[/quote] Only about 6-7, just long enough for her to have begun forming her own personality and sense of self, as well as having made emotional connections with the rest of her family. She would've missed out on some of the Jedi Younglings/Initiate portion of her training a little, which would be why the Council would've needed to make a decision as to whether to allow her to train as a Knight, or force her into the Service Corps instead. This is quite a major point for the character's possible development since the separation trauma of having been taken from her family at that age could be the catalyst for a potential fall to the Dark side, the very same reason the Council refused Anakin at first. [quote=@Ellri]Recruits weren’t typically selected for a certain path of training, but they were often encouraged towards a path they were good at. If she showed aptitude for a guardian role, they would have encouraged her towards that.[/quote] Adjusted the bio wording to emphasise that she was 'guided' rather than 'selected'. [quote=@Ellri]When you reference ‘fly on the wind’ is that a figure of speech for force acrobatics?[/quote] Just acrobatics, Force Jumps and other exceptional acts which most Jedi would be able to perform, not actual unpowered flight. [quote=@Ellri]I notice you mention Yoda and Anakin in your biography…[/quote] I did? The only mention I made of them was in the 'Path of the Sith' portion of the 'long term goals' section, and since that's out of character I didn't think it would be a problem. [quote=@Ellri]Also as a note, romantic involvement is allowed in this era, though it is not taken lightly. Typically it requires council approval for serious relationships to continue though, so her actions in that area can stay the same.[/quote] With Dede the Council would've decided not to allow her relationships to continue at least twice, and both times she agreed to abide by their decision. Whether there was a decision made in the case of her third relationship or not hasn't been discussed, but I'd say the Council allowed it only for her partner to be killed soon afterwards. This history of making unwise connections with others could be something which would lead her into difficult situations at times, and something I hope doesn't end up getting her killed.
