#I think about the overreacted j4 a lot

[autisticdindjarin]

4,7, & 8 for tacee?

This didn��t come with a letter so I just decided to do all of them except for those not applicable because of who I am as a person lmao.

A4) Are they a pessimist or an optimist? 

Tacee’s very much in the middle of this. A big theme of her character is being in the gray - not seeing things as only black or white, which makes her such a great Gray Jedi (even if she doesn’t consider herself one).

A7) Is your OC confident in their reactions to life in general, or do they get embarrassed or easily shamed for it? I.e., if something startles them, do they insist it WAS scary? When they cry, do they feel like they overreacted?

Confident, but that’s mostly because she doesn’t notice the reactions of people to her reactions - by that I mean the social cues and things she misses, as she’s on the Autism Spectrum. She owns her reactions, and doesn’t apologize for them for the most part, unless it’s something drastic.

A8) Is your OC a martyr?

During her five years in carbonite hell? Yeah. She was the Hero of Tython, after all, and lead allied forces in the battle against Revan - she’s a Republic hero. When she goes missing, it gives people all that looked up to her all the more reason to hate Arcann. And that’s why so many come to the call of the Alliance when a rebellion is formed.

B4) Do they tip well? How easily can they be moved to not leave a tip?

Being a Jedi, Tacee never really had to worry about the concept of money, or possessions, so she really doesn’t think about how much is acceptable/unacceptable. She doesn’t mean to undertip, she’s just really not aware of economics, but would never not leave a tip.

B7) How do they respond to babies crying in public?

Not well. Her enhanced hearing from being a Togruta and being on the spectrum makes it very overwhelming for her, but if she focuses enough on the Force, she can tune it out.

B8) Is your OC considered funny? Do they believe they’re funny?

Tacee’s hilarious, but she doesn’t understand to what level her hilarity goes. Her jokes rely heavy on sarcasm and dark, nonsensical aspects of humor.

C4) Do they consider themselves superior or more important than anyone else? Lesser?

This is another part of her making a good Gray Jedi - she feels that she, personally, is not any more important or less important than any other being. But, when you set her up as leader of the Alliance, she takes into consideration the greater good. She may hate it, but for the sake of the galaxy, she has to make the hard calls involving sacrificing the lives of others.

C7) Do they believe people change over time? If so, is it a natural process or does it take effort? 

Yeah, she believes everyone has the capacity to grow, and everyone has the capability of devolving concerning their morals. It can go either way. Truly growing with great progress she sees as a very big, focused effort, but sometimes it does come naturally. Falling to the dark side takes a concious decision, but sometimes good intentions lead to that dark place.

C8) Is your OC more practical or ideal morally? I.e., do they hold people to high expectations of behavior even if it’s not realistic for the situation, or do they have a more realistic approach and adapt their morality to be more practical?

She’s more practical, considering that everyone has their faults, but there are a few exceptions, Satele Shan and Orgus Din being the biggest cases, where she’s in a hero worship state and holds them on a pedestal.

D4) Would they like to be immortal? Why, why not? If they are immortal, would they rather not be?

No. She’s already tired as it is - she was ready to die when she confronted the Emperor again in the temple on Dromund Kaas, and she feels like she’s been living on borrowed time since then.

E4) Did they enjoy school if they went to it?

She enjoyed ‘gym class’, or saber training. Jedi tomes and lectures on the Force, not so much.

E7) Are they a good note-taker? Are they a good test-taker? Do exams make them nervous?

No, no, and she prefers to not actually acknowledge there is an exam to be taken.

E8) What’s one of your OC’s biggest regrets?

Ziost.

F4) How clean are they overall with home upkeep?

Not at all.

F7) What’s their “dream career” or job situation?

She really does love being a Jedi, but she also wonders what it would be like if that hadn’t been all she’d known in life. When she does leave the Order, it causes a lot of anxieties, and though she makes a good leader, she doesn’t always enjoy it. Sometimes she wishes she could just run away from it all and raise Orobirds on Rishi.

F8) How often are they home?

Basically never.

G4) What kind of childhood did your OC have?

A very Jedi-structured one. She was given to the Jedi Order at eight months old, and that’s all she knew. She had several parental figures in the form of Jedi Masters, though she was often seen as ‘disruptive’ and ‘overly energetic’ and ‘prone to meltdowns’. Especially after the trauma when she saw the Jedi Temple on Coruscant fall when she was nine years old.

G7) Do they have any childhood memories they’d rather forget or be less affected by?

The attack on the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Tacee was one of the junior padawans there, and had lived there her whole life up to that point - she was nine years old when Malgus stormed her home, and she was close enough to see the majority of the fighting. After dealing with the Emperor’s influences as an adult, she often has nightmares about Coruscant.

H4) Does your OC believe in love in first sight?

No.

H7) What do they look for in partners? (Emotionally, mentally, physically..)

Humor. Easy to connect with. Energetic, and willing to fight if needed. She likes men and women who speak their mind, and she’s always a sucker for those that could go toe to toe with her either in a conversation or in a sparring match.

H8) What’s your OC’s idea of a perfect date?

Tacee voice: What’s a date?

But ideally, she would just like time to relax and be alone with the other person, far away from any duties or obligations. As long as she doesn’t have to worry about someone popping in on her for some mission or another, she’s happy.

I4) How often do they cook? Do they order out a lot?

Tacee doesn’t like cooking, and doesn’t really cook anything she eats, either, as part of her diet as a Togruta. Sometimes she forgets to eat too, when she’s too focused on one task or another. Ordering out is cool with her, because it’s easier to get what she likes.

J4) Is your OC the sort to fall for fake news? If not, do they ignore it or make a point to clarify that it’s wrong?

No. She definitely makes sure everyone knows that it’s wrong if it’s a big issue. If it’s a small, silly thing, she’ll just roll her eyes, laugh, and go along with it.

J7) How much interest in environmental health do they have?

She doesn’t think of it, mostly because she prioritizing worlds not actively being blown up, set on fire, or wiped clear of life. Which, I guess is a form of interest in environmental health, but it’s a bit on the drastic side of it.

L4) Would you hang out with your OC if you could?

Heck yes I would! But she’d probably really intimidate me! That confidence, them muscles ...

L7) Which OC do you think is the most attractive?

My Darth Nox, Yasmi Mirgo

L8) What’s the longest you’ve had an OC for?

I’ve had my OC Kellan since I was in 4th grade, so err....  since 2001
