Original Characters

 Arriurra

Character Stats:

Species: Wookiee

Eye Color: Blue; green (cybernetic eye)

Hair Color: Brown

Height: 7 feet 2 inches

Weight: TBD

Arriurra's creation started out because I really like Wookiees and thought: "Why can't I have my very own Wookiee?" His original name was Toupe, but I later changed it when I saw the naming prefixes and suffixes in Shyriiwook to accurately reflect Wookiee culture. In the language, it translates to Mighty Warrior. When creating his character, I wanted him to be the outcast, one that everyone would be surprised at when they said he saved the day. Eventually, I decided he should serve in the Grand Army of the Republic, a place where he really sticks out. It wasn't until 2004, Arriurra was able to come to life on Star Wars Galaxies. I began to incorporate lore from the game into my stories, such as the Kashyyyk stalker pistol to tie things together.

Fun Facts:

1. Arriurra's backstory on how he lost his eye was much darker in the initial concept.

2. Initially, he was going to be a Wookiee bounty hunter.

Jack Tresherslider

Character Stats:

Species: Human (clone)

Skin Color: Tan

Eye Color: Brown

Hair Color: Black

Height: 1.49 Meters (4 feet 11 inches)

Weight: 49.9kg (110 pounds)

Jack Tresherslider was created after the launch of Clone Wars Adventures in September 2010. A Force-sensitive clone trooper in the Grand Army of the Republic. This was due the fact that clones were listed as a playable species in the game. I was also really inspired by X2's story from the game, Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron. His name is actual my nickname I go by, I chose that name simply because I couldn't think of any other name for him. I thought it would be cool to have a character named after me too. While Jack is actually my first original creation, in the early drafts of my stories he was a Jango Fett clone. The only problem I had was finding way for him to be Force-sensitive. He was actually a Force-sensitive Jango Fett clone for a very long time. When the issue of Force-sensitivity would come up. I would state: "He just is and it's my choice..." Until 2014 after the game's shut down, I begun to play Star Wars: The Old Republic. I decided to reboot Jack's history to tie him to the character legacy system seen in the game (See more below).

Fun Facts:

1.His character story was inspired by Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II and Star Wars: The Bad Batch.

2. His nickname is shared by the author.

When I started playing Star Wars: The Old Republic, I made Jacen Tresherslider. In the game, he is a trooper on the Republic faction. However, he has a unique story fiction wise. He was a former Jedi padawan turned soldier fighting against Sith Empire. However, he limited ability to walk, as I wanted someone that I could closely relate to since I was diagnosed with Cerebral palsy at a young age. In fact, there are several things about him that are parallel to me. Some examples include personality and physical appearance. Additionally, parts of his story even have taken inspiration from my real life. However, I do try to adapt it around the video game. Jacen's character also gave me an opportunity to explain the origins of Jack Tresherslider and how he got his Force abilities.

Fun Facts:

1. In his initial development his original character story took more of a Luke Skywalker form.

2. His name is taken from the legends character, Jacen Solo.

3. He was born around the time of the Battle on the Hydian Way.
