So, for whatever reason they have made answers uneditable, so I will be answering all asks for the foreseeable future with screenshots and tags. Sorry this took me so long to get to, @novelmonger. :3
From these asks
hate: What does your OC hate? Why? How do they act towards the object of their hatred?
Squatch isn't a big hater, tbh. There's really only one thing, and that's the people who killed his father. I haven't figured out all the names and factions yet, but the planet Squatch grew up on was divided by a pretty nasty civil war for a long time, certainly as long as Squatch was alive. He grew up in war, and though his parents tried to shelter him, and encourage him to care about all peoples, after his father and sister were killed fighting, he came to truly hate the other side of the conflict. It was less of a species thing, more political. If he ever sees their symbol anywhere, he spits. And Bothans are very good spitters.
mistake: What's the worst mistake your OC ever made? What led to them making it? Have they been able to fix it? How have they moved on?
Hmmmmm, getting separated from his mother wasn't exactly a result of him making a mistake. Wasn't at all really, but he will put up a good argument that it was his fault.
When he meets Enn (aka Anakin) he is trying to get off the planet they had first fled to, so he can search for his mom elsewhere. This is a search he keeps up for years, and he can't truly move on from it. (I'm not saying whether he finds her or not.)
pain: What's the worst pain your OC has ever felt? Do they have a high pain tolerance?
I assume this is supposed to be physical pain here. Hmm, he took his first shrapnel, a sliver to the cheek, when he was five. He cried for an hour, until his mother put him to sleep with a potent tea.
He once got thrown down a steep flight of stairs, and broke several ribs. That was shortly after his mother had been lost, and he was on his own. He basically didn't sleep for a week because the pain was so bad, and he had only a general knowledge of how to bandage his side to stabilize the ribs. He was living on the streets then, but did get a little help from a local clinic. That was honestly the most miserable, wretched month of his life. He doesn't have an enormous pain tolerance, nowhere near Anakin’s, but he has built up his ability to gut things out, and do what he has to do, even if he's crying from the pain.
