Yeah, I'm just going to have to wait and see you're grand scheme. But it was! My plan for Caden was to have him be my version of a Skywalker or any major war Hero honestly. Not in the sense of characterization or anything, but more so an integral Jedi character in this timeline's war - not sure it has a name - or something to that effect. But as I looked at his backstory more and the threads I was actually writing with him it changed. It shifted to him being more of what you described.
And then I wrote some more threads and his frustration began to develop and I played off of that more than I intended until it became what troubled him the most which then led to him deciding he could achieve more good if he were to "sacrifice" what it meant to be a Jedi and go off and try to end the war on his own. I suppose in his mind, he believes he can learn the dark and the light and then use both to help win the war faster.
Severing a lekku would've been crucial. Real dark place.
Just read your post. It was dark, but it was good. And you've given me a great opportunity as well to have Caden face how he feels about all of that early on.
Well wait a minute, I thought Kai was the one dying. Still leaving us all in the dark with that one. But, however, you do have a point. I was always interested in Caden going down a darker path although "Sith" wasn't necessarily the intent. But he feels failed by the Council and failed by this and that and then he's been influenced by old dead Jedi and stuff and then a Sith got involved and there's just a lot of stuff in the character's head right now.
Plus Nakoma "betrayed" him in a sense as well. So she didn't help the issue. We still need to do another thread with Arc and 'darker' Caden. I could definitely get behind another thread with the kid.
Hey dude, hows it going? Sorry I've been MIA, been busy at school and lots of other mitigating factors in my life. But now its done :) back in action and posted!
There is the link to the mission we're doing. I've been working on that far too long. What's really a shame is I wrote the bad guy's part in under an hour and yet struggled with Caden's. Go figure. Any who, it is up, let's get it done.
