Description
I've been toying with this idea for some time, and I thought it would be a fun way to sort of amuse you and also say thank you for all your support, with your comments and criticisms and willingness to engage in long comment/note conversations just for funsies. I speak to about five of you on a fairly consistent basis and it's been great fun getting to chat with you about all sorts of random stuff. You all are great internet buddies, and I'm super lucky to have you reading my stories.

Anyway, I binged on Star Wars a few weeks ago, and I've been itching to do something Star Wars-y since then. At first, I thought it might be a new fic, but I didn't want to stretch myself too thin -- there's already been an embarrassingly long dry spell in Keenan's story, which I sort of ended a few days ago, but you know how it is. Right?

Right. Still, I had a few character ideas rolling around in my head, and then I had the slightly fantastic, slightly silly, possibly ill-conceived idea to turn the five of you into Jedi characters who somewhat resemble my impressions of you. And it sort of snowballed from there.

I used a combination of letters from your real name (if I know it) and your screen name to come up with your character names, and I wrote a quick character description in which I tried to capture at least some small aspect of your personality. Try to figure out which character you are and comment below! I'll update this journal as you all work it out. Also, one of them is me.

If there's something about your character that doesn't feel right, that you don't like, or is downright egregiously wrong, don't hesitate to tell me, and we can make the proper adjustments. Also, please do remember, that I mean this only in fun and I'm not trying to insult anybody. I don't think I've insulted anybody, but you never know. Just thought I'd cover my bases.

Alternative Title: Watcher Jedification*
Or Everything is Star Wars and Nothing Hurts

M'kar Jastis is -- Writer of PJatO fanfictions, YJ one-shots, and one aborted Skyrim fic (that's on me, though). Consummate shipper, tireless commenter, staunch supporter, keen discusser of all topics under the sun.
Gender: Male
Age: 16

Race: Human

Homeworld: Taanab

Lightsaber: Single-bladed, dark blue
M'Kar is a thoughtful guy with a good sense of humor and a tendency to drift into the philosophical when the mood strikes him. He often has trouble with the Jedi idiom "feel, don't think," since he tends to overthink and get stuck in his own head. However, when he manages to overcome this issue and tap into the Force, he proves to be a formidable Jedi. His sore spot is his height. He's very tall, a trait that everyone (everyone) remarks upon when they first meet him. Needless to say, he's heard every height joke in the galaxy, and he's sick to death of them.

Alendi Qa is -- me!

Gender: Female

Age: 21

Race: Human-Dathomirian half-blood

Homeworld: Coruscant

Lightsaber: Single-bladed, carmine
Naturally talented and powerfully attuned to the Force, Alendi is given to reckless self-assurance. She is clever, charming, and quick to smile. Though her missions take her all over the galaxy, she loves returning to the Academy to mentor younglings, whom she teaches with a surprisingly gentle hand. Still, there's something far from gentle, something hard, ruthless, and troubling, underneath all that confident charm. It seems to flicker to the surface when she duels, but then again, it's probably just glimpses of her ego. Probably.

Rijav Shil is -- Writer of PJatO, Avatar: LoK, AC, and HTTYD fanfictions, poetry, and original fiction. Also seems to sketch upon occasion. Enthusiastic commenter. Suffers my harsh, longwinded advice with perpetual good cheer.
Gender: Male

Age: 17

Race: Kiffar

Homeworld: Kiffu

Lightsaber: Two single-bladed lightsabers, yellow-gold, may be connected to form a double-bladed lightsaber
Rijav is young, enthusiastic, and, above all, headstrong, much to the chagrin of some of his instructors. He is eager to learn and doggedly pursues his mentors, always insisting that he's ready to learn the next form or the next exercise. Rijav is certainly a gifted young warrior, though he still has yet to learn the requisite patience and care that the Jedi so value.

Karit Tal'Ja is -- Writer of YJ and Naruto fanfiction. Keeps me honest always, deflates my ego on a regular basis (trust me – I need it). Excellent eye for detail, grammar issues, typos, plot holes, and the like. Clever imaginer of future worlds and thankfully patient in all things.
Gender: Female

Age: 21

Race: Zabrak (Iridonian)

Homeworld: Iridonia

Lightsaber: Single-bladed in combination with a shoto secondary, both viridian green
Karit is self-assured and pragmatic, with a wry sense of humor. Her use of the Force is neat and precise. While she always prefers to defuse a situation rather than see it come to violence, she is a powerful fighter, trained in the highly physical martial arts of her homeworld, which she incorporates into her bladework.

Phasri Iisto is (alt account beautyfulsaphire16 ) -- Writer of modernized Disney femslash, PJatO fanfiction, emotional prose, poetry, and original fiction. Also an occasional painter. Hopeless romantic, obliging entertainer on demand. Another survivor of my harsh criticism (though it was a near thing).
Gender: Female

Age: 22

Race: Mirialan

Homeworld: Mirial

Lightsaber: Double-bladed, pearly white

Phasri is an idealist, blunt, earnest, and honest to a fault. While this makes her less than capable as a diplomat, she has the rare ability to understand the crux of a problem and is inclined to take the most direct route to fix it, tactless though it might be. She is very sensitive to the Force, with strong empathic abilities. Her powerful empathy makes her a hesitant fighter, though she's quite competent when she's forced to draw her blade. Phasri often finds herself struggling to control her passions, both her own and those she senses around her.

Dialla'rha is -- Writer of LOTR and Harry Potter fanfiction, zombie apocalypse/One Direction original fiction, designer of PJatO characters, and artist extraordinaire. Bubbly, animated commenter. Provides the occasional ego-boost that I also sometimes need.
Gender: Female

Age: 19

Race: Lethan Twi'Lek

Homeworld: Nar Shaddaa

Lightsaber: Single-bladed, purple
Dialla is kind, optimistic, and tirelessly cheerful, often managing to infect everybody around her with her good mood. Open-minded and curious, she's keen to travel and experience the galaxy's thousands of cultures and share in their customs. Beneath her bubbly exterior, Diala has a sharp mind and is often underestimated by her opponents, much to their detriment.

*Things I learned while turning you into Jedi:
There are a skamillion lightsaber colors.

There are a skamillion species.

Apostrophes are my friends.

Making (partial) anagrams out of your usernames while attempting to match the apparent linguistic/phonetic patterns of each species is hella difficult.

There is such thing as a lightsaber whip.

Rabbits can be Jedi Masters.

If you don't think you're here but ought to be, please do let me know, and I can write up a character for you
