QUESTIONNAIRE
Event Character roles require a good amount of knowledge of lore, server history, and current server events.
Answer these questions as best you can to demonstrate these attributes.
Minimum effort will not be tolerated.

What interests you most in the Star Wars universe?
Amazing character development, that ties into the development of other characters and unique stories of cross interaction. Anything where its emerging from the darkness, like the reemergence of the Sith when they attacked the orbital station above Korriban, or Tenebrae/Vitiate's reemergence as Valkorion and the Eternal Empire. Anything with Mandalorians/EE/Ancient Sith history.

What is the name of your character, and what is their history?
Senya Tirall
Senya Tirall joined the ranks of the Eternal Empire as a Knight of Zakuul, eventually joining Valkorion’s personal/honor guard. Through her close interactions they began a relationship which led to three badass children, twins Arcann and Thexan and daughter Vaylin. Senya’s loyalty to the Eternal Empire was almost as strong as her devotion to her children. Putting her place in the Empire at risk she tried to pry them away from the grasps of their father who put them through insane processes, completely changing them. She left her family, and continued her work with the Empire in the far reaches of the Empire’s domain until after the death of Thexan and the ascension of Arcann, she was driven to leave the Empire entirely by the actions of her children. Senya helped the group comprised of The Outlander and his companions, even engaging in combat with her children, when she found the truth of her son Thexan’s death. She stuck with the group once they began their anti-Eternal Empire operations. In one of these operations she saved her son Arcann from his damaged Flagship, hiding him from the alliance in an attempt to redeem him. Senya then sacrificed her own strength to heal her son when Vaylin intercepted them. Afterwards Senya and the alliance commander(the Outlander) worked together to defeat and kill Vaylin. The alliance commander along with Arcann and Senya then took the Eternal Throne in an attempt to stop the leaderless Eternal Fleet’s rampage. Once the throne was claimed, the late emperor Valkorion entered the alliance commanders mind as to which Senya and Arcann used a holocron to guide the commander to defeating Valkorion

What drew you to the character role you have selected?
From the beginning of her children's lives, all she cared about was them. Despite the fact that she had to play a part in the death of one, her children were always at the forefront. She risked her own life to take her kids far away from the reach of their unloving father, despite knowing that they idolized him and it would be an uphill battle. Even when she lost and was distanced from the one thing she cared about(family) she fought on in the day to day life. She even turned him back on both the Eternal Empire and the Alliance when it came to her kids. She turned her back on the alliance commander just to fight for her son's redemption, even giving her own strength for her son to be healed by the Voss Mystics.

What are your character’s main motivations, and how will you use that to drive your story?
Her duty. Her main duty was that of her family, but her devotion to the Eternal Empire was always true. Despite being distanced from her family, she still had the resolve to fight on and transferred to the Knights’ enforcement division, to continue her servitude. Her duty to her family comes back around as she runs from the Alliance in an attempt to redeem her son Arcann.


LORE CHARACTER
What is your connection to this character?
I was first really introduced to Senya Tirall, in the SWTOR cinematics, in the video ‘Betrayed’ where she is fighting to save her daughter from her ‘imprisonment’ by her father on Nathema. It details flashbacks of her childhood and early training, which leads to Senya Tirall dancing around 6 combatants and effortlessly disposing of them. Finally being subdued when Vaylin refuses to follow her. Senya’s resolve for her family led to her turning her back on everything to fight for her, and this strength and badassery is what drew me to her character, despite her having very little story when compared to many other characters from this time period.
Even more, it is said she was one of the most outspoken people, never being afraid to share her mind on what she believed in. She fought against the gradual transformation of the ranks of the Knights from being to droids like skytroopers. This strength is what led her to gain the interest of Valkorion

What is your understanding of this character's origins and history?
She was born on the Eternal Empire’s capital planet Zakuul, as to which she joined the ranks of the Knights of Zakuul once it was discovered she was force sensitive. See the original questionnaire for a more indepth history.

How are you adapting your character to fit into the Reborn timeline?
Obviously the character would be a current member of the Eternal Empire in reborn, so I would most likely change the parts where she decided the best thing to do was to leave the family. Instead, she maintains her role in Valkorions elite guard, as possibly one of the leading members, and stays as the calm headed advisor, working to counteract the chaotic voices of her children Arcann and Vaylin(a voice of reason). Since Thexan will be alive still in this story, at least at the beginning, it would be fair to assume she would be holding a lot of similar stances as he would, as the more calm of the two brothers, being on the same side of the spectrum(Senya and Thexan on one side, Valkorion in the middle, and Arcann and Vaylin on the opposite side). She would act as the level head advisor/voice in the small circle of Valkorion, where Arcann and Vaylin would be the untempered. Instead of abandoning the family, she would work to fix the situation from Valkorions side, with the family.

What makes you best suited to fill this role?
Her more tempered approach is similar to that of Darth Marr in my opinion. Very tempered, but can kick ass and bring rage when the time calls for it. Such a level of ‘speak softly and carry a big stick’ is what I would like to say my current character does in current RP. My character as Emperor's Wrath fits that role currently, after all its my role as the Emperor's Wrath to be both the scalpel and the hammer, navigate situations with linguistics, until it comes time to bury the hammer in someone's head. Similarly, Senya used her words to try to get her children out of the situation, until the hammer was brought down on Nathema.
