Teyia Squall | The Orfful Tag

Here are Teyia's answers to the tag! P.S. I tag you again, NightBlade, sorry, but could you please give us Vizios's answers? Pretty please? *puppy dog eyes*

1. What is your homeworld?
*screen fizzles slightly* Shh, please stop beeping, Demga is asleep in the back...
Oh, home-world. Uh...I think it's Coruscant. That's where I grew up, at least.

2. Do you have any family?
Umm...I don't know.

3. What are some of your goals in life?
Right now? Survive.
...this isn't being broadcasted, is it?

4. Who do you count as your best friend?
*looks back at the door, smiles a bit* Demga.

5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?
*blinks* Hobby? Uhm...trying to live?

6. What is your species?
Human. I don't see why this is important.

7. Who would you like to be most of all?
Oh, um, that's an interesting question...
I guess I'd like to be a person who didn't have to worry about anything.

8. What was the most devastating moment of your life?
This isn't being broadcasted, right? Promise me that it isn't going anywhere!
*long pause, sighs* It would have to be when the 501st attacked the Jedi Temple, led by... *swallows* Let's just move on.

9. What was the best moment of your life?
*happy sigh* Meeting Demga.

10. Who are your enemies?
I don't know...the Empire, I suppose. And those people on our tail. Qorra or something.

11. Who do you count as your archenemy?
Archenemy? I don't think I have one...

12. Do you have any mechanical appendages?
*hides right arm behind her back*

13. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
Demga, obviously. He's given me a reason to keep going.

14. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
Well...it depends on the situation. I would gladly give my life for Demga, but he needs me, too...
If I had to save either myself or Demga, I'd save him. If there was a chance for the both of us to get out...I'd try to save myself.

15. What do you want to do after retiring?
Will I get to retire is the real question.
Now I've got to go, Demga is waking up, and we need to keep moving.
*screen cuts to black*

Orfful Tag: Kayma Arn and Padawan Talia!

Alright! My THIRD attempt at this tag is now underway! Yes, the recent development of Kayma's character has bolstered my resolve to once again, and I shall as well fulfill the ancient tag of Talia as well!

1. What is your homeworld?
Kayma: Uh, Mandalore. Duh. *glides a hand over her beskar'gam*
Talia: I'm from Ryloth.

2. Do you have any family?
Kayma: Not really. Not that I care about anyway...well, wait. Ba'vodu Javez is still around...
Talia: No. No family--just my Master

3. What are some of your goals in life?
Kayma: Hmm. Kick butt, get rich, retire and live an awesome bachelorette life with Kara.
Talia: I would like to become a Jedi Master someday, and train up a Padawan.

4. Who do you count as your best friend?
Kayma: Well, Kara. Guess she's about all I got.
Talia: Hmm. Well, my Master is my friend. But, there are my new friends, Adali and Bree also.

5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?
Kayma: Killing people. *blithe grin* Gunning for money and being an all-around bad-shebs fox.
Talia: Hmm...um, I like to practice with my lightsaber in free time.

6. What is your species?
Kayma: Uh, human? Didn't the Mandalorian thing give a clue?
Talia: I'm a Twi'lek.

7. Who would you like to be most of all?
Kayma: Um, me!
Talia: Well, I...I guess, I'd like to be more like Master Sendaris.

8. What was the most devastating moment of your life?
Kayma: Hrm. When...uh, when I had to go off on my own I guess. But that turned out to be a good thing, sooo yeah. I dunno.
Talia: When...when I learned the truth about what happened to me before Master found me.

9. What was the best moment of your life?
Kayma: Heehee...probably the exact same thing.
Talia: When Master Sendaris found me and took me in.

10. Who are your enemies?
Kayma: Well...anyone who accidentally got a heap of money on their head. And anyone who tizzes me off.
Talia: I...well, the Sith I suppose. People who threaten peace and safety.

11. Who do you count as your archenemy?
Kayma: Uhhhm...I dunno. Whoever is bounty hunting me, I guess.
Talia: I...don't think I have one.

12. Do you have any mechanical appendages?
Kayma: What!?
Talia: No.

13. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
Kayma: Mm. I dunno. I guess probably Kara. If keeping me alive counts. Heheh.
Talia: My Master, absolutely.

14. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
Kayma: I....well....I mean, I...I guess I...don't know.
Talia: I...I would save my friend. It's what I am taught to do.

15. What do you want to do after retiring?
Kayma: Heh. Be a rich young old bachelorette.
Talia: I...hmh. I'm not sure if Jedi retire.
Kayma: Ok, are we done now? I need to-->line dead<

Kara Werda | The Orfful Tag

What's your homeworld?
Mandalore. *gestures to beskar'gam* Isn't it obvious?

Do you have any family?
Did. They're gone now...unless you count Kayma. Don't tell her, but she's kinda like my yet-to-be-adopted little sister...*sighs* She's gonna kill me when she finds this.

What are some of your goals in life?
Be the best at what I am, make my name known across the galaxy.

Who do you count as your best friend?
Kayma is the closest to me, I guess. I've had other friends, but she's the only one who puts up—somewhat—with my shab.

Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?
I play the bes'bev, which is a Mandalorian flute that can also serve as a weapon. Elegant and deadly.

What's your species?
Human...at least, I hope I'm fully human.

Who would you like to be most of all?
*blank stare* Really? I don't want to be anyone other than myself.

What was the most devastating moment in your life?
*hesitates* *lowers voice* My Jedi master died saving me because I was acting stupid. *squares jaw* But that's past. I'm over it.

What was the best moment of your life?
*dryly* Being born.

Who are your enemies?
You want the list?

Who do you count as your archenemy?
Archenemy... Well, I'd tell you, but then his cronies would find out that I was the one who killed him and come after me.

Do you have any mechanical appendages?
If I did, I wouldn't tell you I had them.

Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
Kayma. That little shabuir has yanked me out of the gutter more times than I can count. I owe her a lot.

If you could choose to save either yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
Kayma. End of story.

What do you want to do after retiring?
That's if I don't die before-hand. Meh, I'd probably just buy a house overlooking a lake on Alderaan. Who knows.

 Next, WookieeElf said she wants to tag Kayma Arn! :)

Moriah Alektor- The Orfful Tag

1. What is your home world?
Ithmonike. That little dwarf planet wheeling around the rim of the galaxy…? *sighs* Not many people have heard of it.

2. Do you have any family?
In theory. Spontaneous generation is impossible, you know.

3. What are some of your goals in life?
Short term? Cheat the Jedi. My long term plans are much more complicated. I could read you my 1675-step plan, but apparently there's not enough time.

4. Who do you count as your best friend?
In my line of work, there aren't many opportunities to make friends... But I left a few people behind on Ithmonike.

5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?
I am quite accomplished at the lyre.

6. What is your species?
Human. More specifically, a Nissi Ithmonikia.

7. Who would you like to be most of all?
I… *scowls hard for a minute. Blinks and reverts to her usual self* I am happy like this, thank you very much.

8. What was the most devastating moment of your life?
*scowl reappears* *rubs her eyes* *sigh* Next question, please?

9. What was the best moment of your life?
Ah. I like this one much better. Yes, yes, my life is overflowing with good moments. I don't know which one to choose… perhaps when I began my apprenticeship with Nordan? The day I purchased my lyre?

10. Who are your enemies?
Jedi in general. Anyone who gets in my way or distorts justice.

11. Who do you count as your archenemy?
Bors and Parlay at the moment.

12. Do you have any mechanical appendages?
No. *Clasps her hands behind her back, hiding the left one from view*

13. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
Oh dear. Another personal question.
I suppose that Nordan has impacted me the most. Without him I'd still be a little girl on a little planet.

14. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
My friend. Without a doubt.

15. What do you want to do after retiring?
It's embarrassing for me to say this, but I haven't thought that far ahead. *A beat* There's a nice villa back home by the vineyards. Maybe I could grow old there.
______

NEXT… I nominate Kara! :)

Varon Parlay | The Orfful Tag

1. What is your homeworld?
Varon: Obroa-skai. The library world. My homeworld's had a definite impact on how I view learning, and the Jedi Archives have become one of my favourite places besides my post.

2. Do you have any family?
Varon: No. Well, sort of, but all I remember is my mother humming and my father laughing. Most Jedi have a few memories like that.

3. What are some of your goals in life?
Varon: Become a Jedi Weapon Master. Train a Padawan who, hopefully, won't be the giggling, head-crazy sort. Maybe be a Jedi Librarian someday.

4. Who do you count as your best friend?
Varon: Hmm. Um…I think I'd say Master Parigos Trenn. I respect him, his view on life and the Order, and his sense of humour. And my own Master, of course, Dorian Keth. I credit Master Keth with my capacity to take the Trials, and I don't know where I'd be without her.

5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?
Varon: Reading. Study. I know some of the Younglings call me Master Gloom because I spend my days in what they call boring pursuits, but they have no idea how intriguing the Archives can be.

6. What is your species?
Varon: Human. I may have some Hapan blood in me.

7. Who would you like to be most of all?
Varon: Is this a trick question? Everyone has been given one life to live. I intend to live mine without comparison or complaint, thank you very much.

8. What was the most devastating moment of your life?
Varon: I don't believe I've had a devastating moment yet. Being banned from the Archives temporarily as a Padawan?

9. What was the best moment of your life?
Varon: Passing the Trials.

10. Who are your enemies?
Varon: The Sith, obviously…? I may be slightly skeptical of the Council, too, especially Master Sift and Master Pollik. In a way, I do hope Lady Alektor turns out to be an operative. That way I can reveal Master Sift's decision to let her in as a bad one.

11. Who do you count as your archenemy?
Varon: Right now, Moriah Alektor is my archenemy. Intriguing, that—I'm her escort, under orders to disarm and detain her if she tries anything besides her diplomatic assignment, whatever that is.

12. Do you have any mechanical appendages?
Varon: Not yet.

13. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
Varon: Knowing I came from Obroa-skai has influenced my view on study and learning. Master Keth and Master Trenn have also influenced me greatly with their ideas and actions, and I hope to be like them both someday.

14. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
Varon: As Master Trenn said, he's not just a diplomat, and Master Keth is quite a powerful fighter as a Jedi Sentinel herself. If it came to a fight, I think I would be the least skilled of them, and they'd probably end up saving me rather than the other way around. Although, if a situation arose where Master Trenn and Master Keth would die unless I sacrificed myself, I would sacrifice myself. Such is the way of the Jedi.

15. What do you want to do after retiring?
Varon: After I retire from what? I think I'll be a Jedi Librarian when I'm older and live and die as a Librarian. I don't intend to leave the Order.

Varon: What do you mean by tagging someone? Tag's a game the Younglings play. Well…if it comes to it, I'll tag Moriah Alektor. See if I can figure out her motives and goals that way.

Caspar Fenn | The Orfful Tag

Uh... Hi, whoever's viewing... I'm not totally sure what this is. Something about a game of tag and oafs full.. I don't know. But there are some questions here and I suppose I'll answer them.

1. What is your homeworld?
Coruscant!
It's a nice place. Sort of.

2. Do you have any family?
I have an older brother who doesn't care about me. I have a father that doesn't really care about me either. And I had a mother who did care about me, but I still wasn't super close to her...

3. What are some of your goals in life?
Become friends with a wookie, move to Cloud City, build a lightsaber even though I have ZERO interest in becoming a Jedi, and maybe open a restaurant. I dunno. I've always wanted to.

4. Who do you count as your best friend?
Every 'friend' I've ever had hasn't really been much of a friend to me. So none, I guess.

5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?
Parkour! I love doing it, and it's gotten me out of a lot of bad situations.

6. What is your species?
Human! Boring, isn't it? I would've liked to be a wookie though. I like wookies...

7. Who would you like to be most of all?
A wookie? I guess?

8. What was the most devastating moment of your life?
About a year ago, I was cornered by two guys that were around my age. They didn't know what they were doing. They were drunk out of their minds...Anyways, I had a gun. I really didn't want to have to use it... But they also had weapons and were about to kill me. I was forced to shoot them both. Gah. I hate killing. It's awful. I don't know how other bounty hunters do it without a second thought! That's why I'll only take jobs where I need to steal something, or where my gun is set to stun. No assassinating. Ugh.

9. What was the best moment of your life?
It's quite the story, but it's glorious. I had infiltrated an enemy ship that WASN'T SUPPOSED TO TAKE OFF, but it did ahead of schedule. I had gotten what I needed to get (I don't remember what it was... A holocron or something like that...) and I was rushing towards the escape pods. I encountered this intimidating fellow, who drew a red lightsaber and started to charge me. I had one small detonator left, but I wasn't going to throw it at him because I knew he would just use the Force on it and probably hurl it back towards me. I happened to be standing next to an elevator, but it was a few floors down. I threw the detonator at the elevator's door and blew them off. Grabbing the cables, I carefully slid down to where the elevator was. Then... The elevator started moving up. I was back where I started... Except in a smaller space. The Sith, grinning, stepped onto the top of the elevator and tried to stab me. He wasn't really thinking, because I side stepped his attack, threw an elbow at his chin, grabbed his arm, and swung--at the elevator's cable. It sliced though it like butter. I hurled myself towards the doorway and barely made it as the elevator fell several floors and crashed in a fiery explosion. Sorry for the long story. But I tell everybody about it. IT WAS SO AWESOME.

10. Who are your enemies?
The Sith. Blah. Those are the only people that I wouldn't really feel bad for killing. They have no souls. They don't care about anything. They're mindless, heartless creatures.

11. Who do you count as your archenemy?
Do people have archenemies? Uh... I don't know. Ask me another time.

12. Do you have any mechanical appendages?
Nope! I hope to keep it that way!

13. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
Deciding to be a bounty hunter. It's quite the job. I'm not going to be the same from it.

14. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
Glad I don't have to choose on this one, seeing that I don't have a best friend!

15. What do you want to do after retiring?
Like I said earlier... Move to Cloud City. And open a restaurant. Maybe I should retire soon. Even though I'm only 19. Why am I even doing this bounty hunter work... I suppose it pays well... but...

...Whatever. I dunno. Maybe bounty hunting is too extreme. But, my time here is up, and now it is time for me to go 'tag' someone else. Hmm... let's see... so many choices... There is that Kian fellow. He's around my age, but I'm keeping my distance from him because he has temper problems and a lightsaber. Those two don't really go together that well. But I'd like to know all about his personal life, so I'll tag him. 

You're it. Or something like that.

Caspar Fenn
Bounty Hunter and hopefully restaurant owner someday but the bounty hunter business pays super well so I don't really want to quit. I'm not killing anybody so I guess I'll just stick to it for awhile longer. Wait, is this my subtitle thing? Wow. That'll be one long subtitle. Maybe I should stop now.

Shor To | The Orfful Tag

3. What are some of your goals in life?

5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?
I'm rather partial to playing cribbage.

13. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
Whoever made this 'tag'. It's rather flustering.

14. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
My best friend. It is the Jedi way to be sacrificial.

15. What do you want to do after retiring?
I don't plan to retire.

Phew, I'm done. What? What do you mean I have to 'tag' someone else? Oh, alright... hmm... I tag... Caspar Fenn! Yes, he seems like a good fellow.

Bounty Hunter

Jorus Travar | The Orfful Tag

Commentary by Dmitri: Since Jorus happens to be dead, I took the liberty of answering these questions from his point of view if he had been asked these questions a minute previous to his death.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

1. What is your homeworld?
I was born on Umbara, but I count Tython as my homeworld, since that’s all I knew for most of my young years.

2. Do you have any family?
I don’t know them, but I’m sure I’ve got parents. Maybe a brother or a sister, too. I’ve never met them. But I know my name came from my parents, not from the Order.

3. What are some of your goals in life?
As a Jedi Shadow, my legal occupation is to hunt down the Dark Side wherever it manifests. This is also a personal goal, as I’m sure my history relates. I’d also like to take down the remnants of the bounty hunters who smashed the Temple jail cells—Dorn and Essa. Blotting out Gnawthrul Haniri’s legacy of death is yet another goal I have. I also want to discover the location of Tallusi—the Veiled Planet—and take down the remnants of the Sith Octarchy.
Aside from my job, I want to find my Master, Kyra Solari. I want to revisit every planet in the Koros System and see what’s happened since the Koros War ended. And I’d like to go back to Utapau again. To Shalom. Where Shiebrynn died. And I’d like to stand there, alone. Alone with my memories.

4. Who do you count as your best friend?
In my Hopeful years, my best friend was Blackman Chard. He was a year older than I am, and we shared the same interests. I lost contact with him, however, after Master Solari took me as her Padawan, and she became my best friend then. Later, it was Shiebrynn. After Master Solari was exiled and Shiebrynn died, though, I closed myself off from most close friendships. I suppose my closest friends are Cald Arenna, Tarmys Darumar, Darid Kirin, and Varyth Shen. Varyth died in the Koros War. They’re part of the Jedi Union, same as I am, and that bound us together.

5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?
No, not really.

6. What is your species?
I’m Umbaran. Pureline Umbaran, to be exact, descended from Wraith.

7. Who would you like to be most of all?
Myself and no one else. Very easy answer.

8. What was the most devastating moment of your life?
To see Shiebrynn shot by Sith troopers while I struggled helplessly against Gadorin—that ravaged me. Deeply. Permanently. But in that nightmare of a day, the most devastating moment was when I sat in the midst of death and destruction and held her cold body. And I never even got to say goodbye. She died before Gadorin did.

9. What was the best moment of your life?
The best moment of my life was one of many on Utapau in Shalom. With Shiebrynn. When the acklay had attacked and was driven away. I came near to dying, and that scared Shiebrynn. She cried after the release of tension. So I held her, to comfort her. And she revealed that she cared for me—revealed through actions, not through words. Remembering that drove my lightsaber to greater exertions in the Koros War and other missions that possessed a degree of saber combat. So that was the best moment of my life, one that I will remember to my death.

10. Who are your enemies?
Oh, I have a lot of enemies. Gnawthrul Haniri, Essa Haniri, Dorn Thelcar, Mark Tane, the Sith Octarchy, the Dark Jedi Shadow Argol Dos, Aetherix Darone, Gorbo the Hutt, and basically every Sith and Dark Jedi in the galaxy. I have also clashed with several Jedi—Neera Talinth, Ruo Bron, Urwen Kel. Probably some others, too. So I have a lot of enemies—more enemies than allies, it seems.

11. Who do you count as your archenemy?
Probably Argol Dos, a Dark Jedi Shadow. Among all my enemies, Argol possesses skills that are very similar to mine. I was sent to protect one of his rumoured targets on Arkania Prime five years ago. He very nearly killed Tamna Vandor before I stopped him, and all through that gamble, I had no idea who was going to win. So Argol is my archenemy for the reason that he’s very similar to myself in point of skills but very different from myself in point of morals. He fought the best out of all my opponents, as well. Better than Gnawthrul Haniri did. Better than Lord Kantin of the Octarchy did. But he’s five years dead now. So I suppose Gnawthrul is my archenemy now, along with Essa and Dorn.

12. Do you have any mechanical appendages?
You’d probably expect it, and you’d be right. I have two mechanical fingers on my right hand from a fight with Argol. I also have a metal plate in my knee from an old injury in the Koros War. And I don’t think this counts, but I also wear a camera connected to the hearing aid in my right ear.

13. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
Throughout my life, Shiebrynn has impacted me the most. Without Shiebrynn, I don’t know what I’d be. Master Solari taught me a lot. So did Darid, Tarmys and Varyth. I shared dreams with Cald and became his unofficial mentor, so we rubbed off on each other. Argol Dos also taught me things—his conduct inspired me to do the opposite. He fell to the Dark Side, compromising his Jedi beliefs in the process. I considered that and decided never to compromise, always to stay true, always to stay faithful.

14. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
I would die a hundred times over for Shiebrynn. To save her, I would surrender even if it meant intense torture until the day my torturers killed me. To save her, I would die. My greatest regret is I was unable to do just that.

15. What do you want to do after retiring?
I have no intention of retiring. I will live a Jedi Shadow; I will die a Jedi Shadow. I do not want to die in a bed with creaking joints and shivering hands from many years. I want to die in battle, to give up my life for ultimate victory, to sacrifice myself for my friends. That is the greatest sacrifice anyone can give—a sacrifice where I myself gain nothing, but they gain everything. That is the death I want to die.
Had it been different, though…if Gadorin had not attacked Shalom, if Gadorin’s soldiers had not killed every inhabitant of that village save one…then I would have given my saber and my skills to protecting Shiebrynn as her husband, to protecting Shalom as its guardian. I would have lived to the end of my days with her—whether in Shalom or across the galaxy, till death do us part…with Shiebrynn.

Commentary by Dmitri: And finally, I (Dmitri) tag Neera Talinth, Jedi Council Member. (I originally tagged Jaider, but Lylyss already answered with Essa previous to Jorus' reply.)

Essa Haniri | The Orfful Tag

1. What is your homeworld?
I was born in hyperspace. Raised on Korriban.

2. Do you have any family?
Unfortunately, yes. Gnawy and Nordan. Plus Alessa. I'm glad to have Lessa, but could do without the rest of 'em.

3. What are some of your goals in life?
Killing Pik and Iggy. *maniacal smile spreads from ear to ear*

4. Who do you count as your best friend?
I don't have friends, seeing as I usually end up backstabbing my teammates at the end of the hunt. But I've been around Javez, Lessa and Athia for several months now. We get along pretty well and our histories bind us together. Plus, we make a good team. I guess they're the only people I wouldn't murder if it was in my best interests.
So yeah. Lessa, Athia, Javez and me. BFFs or whatever. *rolls eyes*

5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?
Nope. I don't knit or crochet or collect bugs or any of that stuff.

6. What is your species?
What--YOU DARE--do I look like one of those freaky aliens? Gahhhh… what is it with you people?!?!

7. Who would you like to be most of all?
I'm satisfied as little ol' me. Although being Supreme Crime-Empress of the Universe wouldn't be too bad.

8. What was the most devastating moment of your life?
Uhhh... that's a very insensitive question. One that I don't think I'll honor with an answer. *sucks noisily on a lemon*

9. What was the best moment of your life?
When Pyre told me that Travar went KAAABOOM! BANG! ZAP! FWOOSH! Nothin' left but a pile of ashes!
Y'see, if the crazy Umbaran's dead, then that means he won't murder me. If he won't murder me, that means there are no consequences for anything. If there are no consequences for anything, then I can run amok with impunity, terrorizing the populace and sucking the proverbial marrow out of my crime-ridden life.

10. Who are your enemies?
Iggy. Pik. Gnawthrul. Dorn. Other bounty hunters trying to steal my business.

11. Who do you count as your archenemy?
Gnawy. Yeah. In the Haniri family, sibling rivalry gets deadly.

12. Do you have any mechanical appendages?
Golll-lleeee. Do I look like a cyborg to you or somethin'?

13. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
Cade. Mom. Dad. Nordan and Gnawthrul. Lessa.

14. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
Let's face it, folks--I'm not a hero. So IDK.

15. What do you plan to do after retiring?
I'm never gonna retire. I'll die like I've lived--with a smoking blaster in my hand and a smirk on my beautiful ol' face.

Next I'm gonna tag Jorus Travar, cuz I wanna gloat in the comments about his death and my newfound freedom.

Ka: *gives Javez the "you'll-get-it-for-that-one" glare*
Reporter One: What are some of your goals in life?
Ka: *actually speaks for the first time* To make sure you never make it out of here alive, and you too. *glances at the second reporter* Then I've go some petty grudges to execute for someone.

Ka: *actually appears to think that one over* Cassus Fett

Ka: *shifts impatiently*
Reporter Two: *hesitates slightly* Who are your enemies?
Ka: *decides he's had enough*  You.  *draws his blaster and fires in the blink of an eye*
Reporter One: *gasp is cut off by the blaster shot* Daaaaaagh! 
*A heavy thud follows as the camera hits the ground and cuts out*
*Gasps and screams from the crowd can still be heard in the background*


THE NEXT DAY:
News Reporter on CaC2 Galactic Live: After the terribly abrupt ending to yesterday's "Orfful Tag" interview, which resulted in two reporters and an officer being shot down, we are left with a question amid the wild search for the now-infamous Ka Vardak: Who will be the next interview? Stay tuned to hear the latest developments here on CaC2 Galactic Live!
*Cue dramatic newsroom music and flashy screen*

Eerikim Hol | The Orfful Tag

Eerikim is roughly pushed on stage. She looks back, shakes her fist, then glances towards the audience. "Ahem. Don't be so rough next time." She shouts at the door. Then, turning to the audience, smiles and waves. "Hello. I'm Eerikim Hol, Jedi Knight." Eerikim rolls her eyes. "Not a very good one, anyway." She looks out at the audience.
"Someone told me that I had to do a thing called the Awful Tag or something. Is it really that bad?" Eerikim looks around the audience.
"I'm ready. Go." She says.

An iktotchi stands up.
"What is your homeworld?" He asks, rubbing his hands together.
Eerikim scratches her head. "I think it was Tatooine. I'm not sure, but I think so. At least, that's what the Jedi told me. They found me, walking next to the dune sea, trying to eat stones."
A Zabrak gets off her seat.
"Yeah, I have a question. Do you have any family?"
Eerikim rolled her eyes.
"I had a baby. I never named him. I wish I had, but some bounty hunters took him away from me. They stole him." Eerikim wiped a tear away. "Does that answer your question?" She asks.
The Zabrak nods.
"Anyone else, because if not, then I'm going to go back to bed." Eerikim yawned.
"What are some of your goals in life!?" a Hutt shouts down from the top balcony.
Eerikim looks up, trying to find the source of the voice.
"Kill Belac. At least one of his sides. I don't care which. I think I want to kill the grey side." Eerikim says. "And get my baby back. But that won't be possible. The bounty hunters will be far away by now. Go back to the Jedi and tell them my mission was a failure." Eerikim answers.
"Who do you count as your best friend?" A cerean from the front row asks.
"My baby. The Iktotchi that helped me look after him. I miss him." Eerikim says.
"Do you have a hobby?" a Kel Dor asks.
"I do." Eerikim says.
"Well, what is it?" the Kel Dor says, exasperated.
"Babysitting. Negotiating. Among other things." Eerikim laughs quietly.
"What is your species?" a human says.
"Hutt. No, Kel Dor. Only kidding, I'm a Zabrak." Eerikim smiles. "Twi'lek! I'm Twi'lek!" She said, trying not to laugh.
A human stands up.
"Who would you like to be most of all?" He asks.
Eerikim looked into the distance.
"I would like to be like Grand Master Tarmys. He's so knowledgeable. And smart. And knowledgeable."
A Toydarian stands.
"What was the most devastating moment of your life?" He asks, hovering in place.
"When He killed my master." Eerikim says, sneering.
The next question was posed by a Kiffar.
"What was the best moment of your life?" She asked.
Eerikim sighs.
"When the jedi found me. And when my master took me in." Eerikim drops her head.
An Ewok stood up. Through an interpreter, he asks,
"Who are your enemies?"
Eerikim looks at him and wrings the microphone stand.
"Him."She says with distain.
The Ewok poses another question.
"Who do you count as your archenemy?"
"Him." Eerikim repeats with scorn.
"Do you have any mechanical appendages?" Someone yells down from a top level.
"Do I look like it? Here, search me. No, I don't have and mechanical appendages." Eerikim replies.
A Zabrak stands.
"Who and/or what has impacted you the most?" She asks.
Eerikim smiles. "My master impacted me in more ways than one. And Him. He killed my master." Eerikim spat. "I'm not saying anymore." Eerikim read the second to last question out.
"If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?" Eerikim paused.
"I would save myself. All my friends are perfect Jedi. They can take care of themselves."
The last question was posed.
"Who do you want to do after retiring?" Eerikim sighed.
"Truthfully, I want to track down Him and kill him. Gut him. Call it what you will. But I know this. The entire Tiye family will die, starting with my master's killer-" Eerikim was cut off with a explosion. Debris rained down on her, burying her. Everyone in the place dies.

But then... a muffled shout comes from the rubble.

"I tag Ka Vardak!....."

-Wapta Ewetwa.

Tarmys Darumar | The Orfful Tag

1. What is your homeworld?
Tarmys: My homeworld? Well, that's quite a story. I don't know, but I grew up on Tython. Someone left me as a baby at the Jedi Temple and the Jedi took me in and gave me the name that I now bear. Based on the genetic scans they did, I am from Haruun Kal, but the planet I was born on remains unknown.

2. Do you have any family?
Tarmys: I have no blood relatives that I know of. But there is a bond stronger than blood. It is the bond that I share with the other members of the Jedi Union—with Nariel, my master, Varyth and Cald, my Padawans, with Darid and Jorus, my good friends, and with Tekin, the seventh Jedi of the Union. I count them my family, even though four of them are dead.

3. What are some of your goals in life?
Tarmys: My lifelong goal is to discover the creator of justice—the being who regulates the laws of morality and justice. And I believe that I have found Him. Secondary goals that I pursue are making a connection of mutual trust and friendship with my new Padawan, Jarayim Till, and rebuilding the Jedi Union into the full count of seven again.

4. Who do you count as your best friend?
Tarmys: The best friend I ever had in all the world was Nariel. In a sense, she was both my mother and my older sister. She was my friend and role model throughout my childhood and my master and heroine throughout the years of my youth. My memories of her are many, and all are cherished.

5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?
Tarmys: I no longer have time for hobbies, but I used to collect caps from travoshryke bottles. The ones that jump when you press the middle down.

6. What is your species?
Tarmys: I am human, and my genetics suggest I come from Haruun Kal.

7. Who would you like to be most of all?
Tarmys: I never wished to be someone different than who I am.

8. What was the most devastating moment of your life?
Tarmys: When the Sith killed Nariel—and robbed my life of my best friend, role model, and master.

9. What was the best moment of your life?
Tarmys: There are many. One particular time is when Nariel came into the Temple, her face glowing with happiness, and told me that she had passed the Trials. Another is when she proclaimed her intent to take me as her Padawan. I could tell you many more, but those are just two of them.

10. Who are your enemies?
Tarmys: The Octarchy of Tallusi, two of whom are dead, as well as the multitude of Sith and their armies scattered across the systems. The bounty hunter Cral Damine is another particular enemy of mine, as well as Kone Dorrick, governor of Cinnagar on Koros Major, and Aetherix and the Mandalorians of Mandalore.

11. Who do you count as your archenemy?
Tarmys: Without a doubt, my archenemy was Arizael, the wielder of a strange Sith power known as Zaul. I slew him on Mandalore.

12. Do you have any mechanical appendages?
Tarmys: Not yet.

13. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
Tarmys: Nariel, my role model, had a great effect on my life. My first Padawan, Varyth Shen, gave me something to learn as well. He was always calm, even under the stress of constant warfare, while I used to break constantly under stress. The other members of the Jedi Union have also impacted me in various ways.

14. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
Tarmys: I would have saved Nariel. She would have saved me. But I was unable to save her from the hand of Darth—I don't remember the Sith's name. But if there had been a possibility that I could have saved her, in the process sacrificing myself, then I would have done that without a backwards look.

15. What do you want to do after retiring?
Tarmys: I never considered retiring as an option for myself. I never actually expected to come out of the Koros War alive, nor that I would receive a permanent place on the Jedi Council. I have no plans for retirement. I intend to stay a Jedi until I die.

And now…I tag Lanna.

Adali Zess | The Orfful Tag

1. What is your homeworld?
Tython- I suppose I came from somewhere else at some point, but I've no idea where.

2. Do you have any family?
The Jedi are my family, especially Master Forn- I used to be his Padawan.

3. What are some of your goals in life?
Travel as much as I can and do something that'll make a difference somehow. I still haven't figured out what- I'll probably just watch for an opportunity and when I find one, take it.

4. Who do you count as your best friend?
Oh . . . I'm not really sure about that anymore. My best friend used to be Reki Salis- our Masters were friends, so we usually ended up spending a lot of time together and got pretty close- but she decided to become a Watchman and moved to Dolomar, so . . . Not so close anymore.

5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?
I love card games- Pazaak and Chambers are my favorites, though I'll play just about anything if I'm bored enough. And I rather enjoy puzzle cubes and things of that sort too- things that make you think and drive you crazy until you figure them out.

6. What is your species?
Human. Do I look like someone else?

7. Who would you like to be most of all?
Me, of course!

8. What was the most devastating moment of your life?
I . . . It would probably be the first time Master Forn took me to a planet that was under attack. We were supposed to try to bring about a diplomatic settlement, but that failed. Then we were supposed to help defend the planet, but . . . we failed at that too. I'm just glad we were able to help some of the inhabitants escape . . . but a lot of people didn't. I suppose, though, that I should be grateful- I've had it easy compared to some.

9. What was the best moment of your life?
Definitely when I officially became a Knight.

10. Who are your enemies?
The Sith and anyone who tries to hurt me or the people I care about.

11. Who do you count as your archenemy?
Don't have one.

12. Do you have any mechanical appendages?
No.

13. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
Master Forn has definitely had more impact on me than anyone else.

14. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
My best friend- or I hope I would, at least.

15. What do you want to do after retiring?
I've no idea. That's too far away for me to think about yet.
----
Well, there's Adali's answers. Hope y'all enjoyed them!

The next person I tag is Tarmys Darumar.

Kazadan Sarsis | The Orfful Tag

Alrighty, then. Krazydan--err--Kazadan has answered the Orrful tag. And tagged another CaC2er at the very bottom.

________________

1. What is your Homeworld?

Tatooine--I was born on Tatooine, near Mos Eisley. I can’t remember very much of it, though.

2. Do you have any family?

There’s Valin of course, but what I didn’t know until recently is that my family is huge. There are seven kids in all. We met briefly a few years ago, but that’s another story.

3. What are some of your goals in life?

Well--my short term goal is to escort Gnawthrul Haniri into the next life. My long term goal is to wipe out the Haniri family, or at least downsize their power.

4. Who do you count as your best friend?

Naina Raynt. Our work often keeps us apart, but we make a point of looking out for each other. Then there’s Cald and Kian--I’d trust them with my life.

5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?

I don’t really have a hobby. Too busy for that.

6. What is your species?

Human.

7. Who would you like to be most of all?

One of my non-force-sensitive brothers is living a charmed life on Tatooine as a mechanic. I wouldn’t mind trading places with him.

8. What was the most devastating moment of your life?

Well... my Padawan went missing. When they told me that he was gone... I've never broken down like that before.

9. Who are your enemies?

Gnawthrul Haniri, Nordan Haniri, Jaranna, Cyndar, Matrus, the bounty hunters who ransacked the Temple and Dark-Siders in general.

10. Who do you count as your archenemy?

Nordan and Gnawthrul.

11. Do you have any mechanical appendages?

So far, no. I’ve been pretty lucky.

12. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?

Naina, Ristan, Si and Kiri have probably had the most impact on my life. I’d be a very different person if it wasn’t for them.

13. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?

Best friend. I just hope it doesn’t come to that.

14. What do you want to do after retiring?

I’ll probably haunt the Temple archives and spend my last years studying holocrons.

Cypher Solari | The Orfful Tag

Okay, so, I've finally got around to asking Cypher the "Orfful Tag" questions! Now, here are his answers. Enjoy!

1. What is your homeworld?
I don't remember, but I grew up at the Jedi Temple.

2. Do you have any family?
Well I used to, I would imagine. It's kinda necessary for me to have family to be born. But I'm not so sure if I do anymore. Master Kaleesh was like a mother to me, but--*chokes up*

3. What are some of your goals in life?
*glowers* Kill Jaraal Starrunner. Oh, and finally get an opportunity to make some tea!

4. Who do you count as your best friend?
I've never really had one. I'd say Aza, but she got captured. And then there's Polla, but she's... Anyways, I don't really have any close friends anymore.

5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?
Well I love tea, drinking it and making it. Does that count?

6. What is your species?
Human. What does it look like?

7. Who would you like to be most of all?
I'd like to stay myself, thank you very much. But I want to be more like Master Kaleesh.

When I constructed my first real lightsaber on Ilum.

10. Who are your enemies?
The Sith. And whoever killed Abriel Tow's Master.

11. Who do you count as your archenemy?
Hmm... I think Jaraal Starrunner. He killed my Master. And he will be brought to justice!

12. Do you have any mechanical appendages?
Does having high tech contact lenses count? I ordered them last week on "Jolly Momo's intergalactic delivery service".

13. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
I think that guy who got inside my head--I don't know his name--has changed me more than anyone else lately.

14. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
My best friend. I'm not worth saving anyways.

15. What do you want to do after retiring?
Retiring? What are you talking about? That's, like, a lifetime away! Sheesh, talk about looking ahead.

Orfful | The Orfful Tag

I'm in the mood to learn more about the characters of CaC2. So I'm going to make an interview that can double as a tag. I'm going to name this the Orfful Tag, in honour of Orfful.

1. What is your homeworld?
2. Do you have any family?
3. What are some of your goals in life?
4. Who do you count as your best friend?
5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?

13. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
14. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
15. What do you want to do after retiring?

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

And, of course, since I named this after Orfful, Orfful has to be the first to answer it. Keep in mind that all of Orfful's answers have been translated from Shyriiwook (the Wookiee language) and may not be completely accurate.
1. What is your homeworld?
Orfful: Kashyyyk.

2. Do you have any family?
Orfful: Arf*, yes. A big family. My¹ dad Hibacca, mum Sarifful, brother Cobacca, sister-in-law Lanov, nephew Tarkaba, nephew Arggif, niece Mevyyl.

3. What are some of your goals in life?
Orfful: Arf*. I don't have any goals any more.

4. Who do you count as your best friend?
Orfful: My¹ best² friend was Yashacca. My¹ best² friend is Kalen.

5. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?
Orfful: Collecting lightsabers is my¹ hobby.

6. What is your species?
Orfful: Wookiee, People of the Trees.

7. Who would you like to be most of all?
Orfful: Arf*. Myself³.

8. What was the most devastating moment of your life?
Orfful: The most⁴ devastating moment of my¹ life was my¹ banishment. My¹ family declared that I must leave forever. I vowed that I would return one day.

9. What was the best moment of your life?
Orfful: The best² moment of my¹ life was when I knocked Thobacca out of the tree into the water and laughed my¹ head off at watching him frantically swim away from the pursuing asyyyriaks. Harf harf harf**!

10. Who are your enemies?
Orfful: Ahrrg*…the Sith. My¹ cousin Thobacca.

11. Who do you count as your archenemy?
Orfful: My¹ cousin Thobacca.

12. Do you have any mechanical appendages?
Orfful: I do not⁵. But my¹ brother Cobacca does.

13. Who and/or what has impacted you the most?
Orfful: Harf harf harf!** The ceiling of the mansion of Morcarcion impacted me. Otherwise, my¹ friends Yashacca and Kalen, who I count as my¹ honour family.

14. If you could choose to save yourself or your best friend, who would you save?
Orfful: I would save Kalen. I would save Yashacca. I would let myself³ die. And I did.

15. What do you want to do after retiring?
Orfful: If I retired—which I'm not going⁵ to do now—I would want to settle down among my¹ family again and be accepted by them.

*The Shyriiwook word has no Basic translation.
**The Shyriiwook word is imitative and is rendered exactly the same in Basic.

1. As Shyriiwook has only the subject pronouns, possessive pronouns rendered my are actually suffixes that mean of me.
2. The Shyriiwook for this word includes a prefix meaning greatest, but as 'most best' is not standard Basic, the prefix was ignored in these cases.
3. Original form was I.
4. The Shyriiwook for this word is a prefix that means greatest or ultimate, rendered as most.
5. The Shyriiwook for this word is the negated form of the verb. This has no equivalent in Basic, and it was instead rendered (not) (verb) or (verb) (not).

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

And for starters, I tag Cypher Solari, Jedi Padawan turned dark. To complete this tag, answer the fifteen questions in the Orfful Tag, post them on your writing thread and/or this blog, and tag someone else.

Have fun!
