What interests you most in the Star Wars universe?

The depth of the universe. I like how the main focus of Star Wars is on the Jedi and Sith yet there are so many more characters that exist outside of this group that have detailed stories that may or may not have an impact on the overall main story. I also like how there are a variety of eras that exist that each have their own unique Jedi and Sith that follow their own set of rules and each bring different force powers to the franchise.


What is the name of your character, and what is their history?



What drew you to the character role you have selected?

I have always been interested in characters in Star Wars who have walked the line between light and dark without fully committing to one side. Therefore, I think this is the perfect role for Clappy because he has been both Sith and Jedi, practices both sides of the Force, and does not feel like he belongs to either of the orders however at his current point in his journey he realizes that the Sith are agents of chaos and that his powers will be used to assist the Jedi even though he is not part of their order which is what makes him a Gray Jedi rather than a standalone character who operates outside of these two orders.


What are your character’s main motivations, and how will you use that to drive your story?

Knowledge and using his powers to help others.

Clappy spent most of his time in the Sith Empire studying knowledge from Sith Holocrons and books. Knowledge was the key to power, but it could also be used to help and teach others which Clappy tries to do, spreading the knowledge of how one can use the “Dark Side” without falling into its temptations. Clappy is also aware of the constant war between the Jedi and Sith and wants to use his powers to help people as a way of correcting the evil he did in his past.

Why has your character not joined either the Jedi or Sith with their Force abilities?

Clappy has joined both the Jedi and Sith order during his journey however he left both as he did not fit in with the ideals and decisions made by each group. While in the Sith, Clappy pursued power but along the way, he made friends and comrades which made him realize there was more to life than his own selfish needs. Since Clappy joined the Jedi at an older age than other younglings, he was able to think for himself and spotted the flaws of the Jedi Order which ultimately led him to leave due to his disagreements with the Council on how things were conducted. However, he still viewed the Jedi as peacekeepers and wanted to help them with their mission of maintaining peace through the galaxy.


What is your character’s goal within the Force?

Clappy’s current goal within the Force is to gain knowledge, both ancient and new, to master his powers and record his findings through books and scriptures which would be passed on to the Jedi. Even though Clappy pursued knowledge, he was aware that he was blessed with the gift of the Force and will not let it go to waste. Therefore, he will travel, as he once did at the start of his journey, providing help to those who need it be it Jedi or anyone else Clappy met along his travels.


What is your character’s interpretation of the Force?

At first, the Force was a way for Clappy to gain power, it was a tool that was only gifted to a small number of people who he viewed as better than the rest. However, through studying both Sith and Jedi knowledge Clappy realized the Force was something much bigger than that. The Force was an energy that existed in all life and it forged the destiny of all beings. Although beings had free will, their beginning and end had already been pre-determined by the Force.

Clappy did not believe in a “Good” or “Bad” side of the Force, he believed that all users were part of the same Force, however, those corrupted by their own greed and selfishness would destroy themselves twisting their Force into an evil manifestation of themselves which led to Dark side powers.



What is your character’s interpretation of the Jedi and Sith Codes?

To Clappy, the Sith and Jedi code were complete opposites that both contained flaws. The Jedi code was far too restrictive, which led to some of the Jedi being slaves to their code as the code tells them what they can and can’t do even if they personally disagree with it. The Sith code focused too much on the selfish gains of an individual, breaking the “chains” which one puts on themselves. This led to the Sith constantly killing each other to gain more power as the Sith code taught no discipline. Clappy also disliked how the Sith used conflict as a personal way to gain power as they treated others as a way to get stronger with no regard for their life.

Great amount of effort put into this application. I don't like Grey Jedi, cause they don't really exist in canon, but I think it's a reasonable conclusion that your character would be somewhere in this middle ground.
Well done!
