psa -- please take your time.
                    The community has been growing MORE & MORE supportive overtime. Most roleplayers do not mind the length of time that it takes for you to reply to things, which is WONDERFUL!! But, there are still some people who actually do mind the length of time, so please REBLOG this if you are not bothered by the time it takes for your roleplay partner to reply to you, and would much rather prefer them to be COMFORTABLE and HAPPY.

SILAS.
Continued from here @forcefavored
Silas glanced at the young woman responding to his angry comments to himself.
“Those fools over there…” He waved a hand at a group of traders arguing over the price of a malfunctioning droid, “Every time I tell them that the items they are bartering for are worthless, they ignore me. Then, when they discover I am right, they force me to apologize for not trying hard enough to dissuade them.”
He pulled his knees up and wrapped his arms around them as he sighed in frustration. “You are rather wise for one so young. How did you become so insightful?”“
✧—- She hadn’t honestly expected the man to respond to her input, and if she did, she didn’t expect it to be anything remotely close to kind. And yet, here he was, commenting on how wise she must have been. Was she wise though? Or was he making fun of her perhaps? She didn’t think so, but people weren’t really her forte. After all, she usually kept to herself and didn’t go out of her way to make friends. Strange, considering what a genuinely kind and friendly person she could be.
“Oh, I wouldn’t call myself wise,” Rey murmured, shrugging it off as if it were nothing. “I’ve just been on my own for a while and I’ve learned over the years that what other people do and say don’t matter much unless I let them have an influence over me. It sounds to me like you don’t have anything to be sorry for, so don’t be.”
Her first instinct was to turn and leave after that brief exchange, but something kept her in place. Rather than fleeing to her makeshift home, she kept herself planted across from this stranger. She’d never seen him before and she had to wonder... what was he even doing here? The girl rarely saw a new face around these parts. 
“I’m Rey, by the way,” she introduced herself. “What might I call you?”

Handwriting can tell you a lot about a person
Go HERE and reblog with your character’s name in their handwriting!

In truth, Rey doesn’t really have a lot of free time, but when she does have some time to herself, she spends it trying her best to teach herself new things. A lot of the time, like her mother, she draws. Because she has a knack for art, she also has a tendency to make her handwriting look very artsy and pretty. When she’s putting time and care into what her messages look like, her handwriting looks like the above picture.
When she’s in a rush, it’s still legible, but it becomes a bit more messy and scratchy--something like this:

At least both can be read fairly easily, but you can definitely tell when she puts the effort in and when she doesn’t.

Obscure details about Finn that the films don’t tell you
Tumblr media
Finn’s squad in the First Order was the FN Corps, who were personally under the command of Captain Phasma. They were made up of FN-2187 (Finn/87), FN-2003 (Slip), FN-2199 (Nines), and FN-2000 (Zeros). Finn was the unofficial leader of the squad.
Tumblr media
Finn was one of the best Stormtroopers that the First Order had ever trained and was recognized as Officer Material by Captain Phasma. General Hux had considered him Captain Material. Most of his superiors considered Finn a born leader.
Tumblr media
Jakku was Finn’s first mission against the Republic, but Finn had gone on other missions before to other planets and had also completed simulations where his kill count would break records. Finn had no issues going to battle with the New Republic. In fact the biggest issue he had was the fact that he was always looking after his less competent squad mate Slip.
Tumblr media
Finn would have been one of the best soldiers if it wasn’t for his inability to shoot or harm civilians. An issue that Zeros and Slips did not have. Only Nines did, but still followed Orders. Even though Finn could have been the best, he just couldn’t pull the trigger on a civilian.
Tumblr media
Out of everyone is his squad, Finn is the only confirmed survivor. Slip was killed by Poe Dameron on Jakku, Nines had been killed by Han Solo on Takodana, and Captain Phasma had been killed by Finn on the Supremacy. Zeros may be the only survivor as his status is unconfirmed.
Tumblr media
(Petition pending to get Michael B. Jordan to play Zeros)
Tumblr media
Finn is specialized in all First Order equipment to the point of being a sharp shooter with a blaster, a master of the Z6 baton, almost all First Order weapons in general and being able to identity any weapon or tech of theirs. That is why he knew what model of tracker the First Order was using in TLJ and was able to identify the mini Death Star canon. Finn also has an almost perfect photographic memory due to being able to memorize the layout of both Starkiller base and the Supremacy with extreme accuracy.
Tumblr media
Kylo Ren had been impressed with Finn‘s capabilities during their lightsaber duel on Starkiller to the point Kylo had to tap deeper into the dark side to beat Finn.
Tumblr media
Finn is deeply conflicted about fighting Stormtroopers due to the fact that many of them didn’t have a choice in the matter of who they served under like him.
Tumblr media
Finn is one of the most compelling protagonists of the franchise, right along with Ahsoka and Luke, because while he is the most dangerous to both sides of the war due to his skills and knowledge, he actively tries to save lives instead of end them. Finn’s upbringing left no room for love. He was stolen away from his family before he could even make memories of them. He tried to dedicate himself to the the First Order, but couldn’t. Finn chose to leave the only life he had known because he couldn’t let even one innocent life be senselessly killed.
Finn has earned the right to be called the sequel trilogy protagonist and I’m hoping Episode IX will bring this badass center stage again.

“I’m not going to apologise for this. Not anymore.”
{ @masterofthepastandpresent } || random sentence starters -- status; accepting
Tumblr media
✧—- "Do you feel the need to apologize?” Rey asked. “Have you committed some sort of crime or harmed someone? Or are you just backed into a corner and feel the need to apologize because of the way others react to you?” Sometimes, Rey could be a very pressing and direct force, one that no one would want to be on the opposing side of, but for the most part, she was open, accepting, and did her best to understand all sides of things and people. 
     “If you don’t feel the need to be sorry, then don’t be. Don’t conduct yourself purely based on what others expect of you,” she continued. “Would you like to talk about what’s bothering you?”

BEN.
MUM.
ERIS.
Eris ignored Loki’s statement and waved him closer. She took another drag little the smoke coil in her mouth. “ What bugs are you having, Maybe I can help run a custom diagnostic if you want.” She smiled.  “You’ve done wonders with her, you know.  And imagine, a few handfuls of years ago you were afraid to even touch one of the toasters that Niko hides from me.   You do know I found his new stash and his hiding place?” She chuckled leaning into Loki.
Eris was a certain amount of pride that Eris took when she watches Loki with Rey.   The way his eyes lights up with everything he teaches her and how she hands off of every word that Loki said.  It reminded her dreadfully of how Theodosia looked at Arianna.    She was proud that Loki was proud.  He wasn’t so timid and shy as he once was.  He had come into his own and had crafted life.   Of all the things she could ever want for Loki was to know what it felt like to have a family
And never know what it felt like to have it all taken away.
“Speaking of hiding places, where is our little Rey of sunshine?  I hope Niko’s not convincing her to help him take apart the dryer.  I paid a lot of money for that thing.”
Just the opposite was going on.  He was tinkering with the washer.  Or at the very least he was on his way to until he ran into Rey.
“Evening, Sunshine.” He called out to her.   He walked over to her noticing she was getting ready to go out.  He wasn’t her father… but he still felt a sense of responsibility. They all did. 
He put up his hands, “I know I say this all the time.  Be careful out there.  Stay away from rallies, and protestors if you see them.  Don’t take any digital pamphlets, unless if from a store. You still have Eris’ taser in your purse?  Don’t be afraid to use it or call us if you have an emergency.  Loki’s going with you?” he finally asked not seeing him around.
♔—- “Oh, it’s mostly a few hardware issues,” Loki explained. “Every once in a while, Rey starts blinking uncontrollably and her left eye gets a little wonky. It kind of lazes off to the side and loses the façade that it’s real. Shows off what’s behind the iris and pupil. Her right eye never does that and I can’t figure out what’s wrong. I’ve swapped her left eye out a few times and it keeps happening. She also has a few twitches every now and again that don’t look at all organic, but it’s happening less and less. Maybe a diagnostic would help, just to see if there’s anything malfunctioning in her coding. I’d appreciate the help, but I’m honestly not terribly worried about it. It doesn’t effect Rey at all.”
Well, that wasn’t entirely true. He did worry about it because the bugs could easily give her away as artificial. While he spent years learning that there was nothing wrong with that and that inorganic life was just as real as organic life, there were plenty of hateful people in the world who didn’t see things that way. And he had to admit, he was terrified of what would happen if one of those robotic ticks happened in front of someone who was less than open to augmentations of any sort, let alone anything less human.
“And yeah, I figured sooner or later, you’d probably find Niko’s stash. He’s not really all that intelligent when it comes to hiding things from, well, any of us. Rey’s gotten especially good at sniffing out things that he thinks he’s cleverly hidden.” And Gods, did Rey had a strange sort of fondness for it too. It always brought an angelic giggle from the young woman’s mouth and when she laughed? There was nothing better than that sound.
“I promised her a bit of free time for the evening,” Loki admitted. “She keeps nagging me about getting out on her own for a little while, so I finally relented. But she promised me she’d be careful.”
After gathering up her purse, complete with the taser Eris gave her tucked safely inside, she made quick work of finding her way from her room to the exit. At least, she tried, but she was inevitably stopped by Niko. Even though Niko wasn’t her father, she often regarded both him and Eris as parental figures anyway. They were both extremely important to her mother and they both looked out for her as if she were their child. She loved that, but sometimes—like now—it could certainly be inconvenient. 
“Yes, Niko, I have the taser Eris made for me. I never leave home without it,” she swore, which was true. While she was young, bright-eyed, and eager to experience the world, all three of her guardians had been very insistent on making sure she understood the dangers that existed within that world, especially for people like her. “I’m actually on my way out alone. Mum said I could…” Which, again, was nothing short of the truth. Loki developed quite a knack for lying, but Rey? She hadn’t really picked that up.
“And before you dive into the extended lecture, I already promised I’d be super careful and that I wouldn’t be out past dark,” she continued. “I’ll be fine, I promise!” Before Niko could say anything or try to stop her, the AI wrapped him up in a particularly strong hug and then rushed out the door. “See you in a couple of hours, Niko!” she called behind her, waving before she disappeared out the door.
          { @imsureyouare​ }
❊—It was a crime he wanted to carry out… It was something that he knew he wouldn’t have any regrets about doing to prove a point to the world… until he actually his finger left the trigger.  
Benjamin watched as the Building ZE Link Unlimited went up in bright lights… He was ecstatic at first then the screams came.  Suddenly there was carnage everywhere.   Her face haunts him every night.   The face of the little girl that got crushed right in front of him.    At first he thought several things…  the fallen child’s silence indicated that she was dead on impact and the loud crunching sound beneath must have been the plastics and metal.
Oh, how Ben was wrong….
He can still hear the echoes of her wails that pierced his eardrums.  It had taken a moment for her shock to take on another form.  Silence to shrills.  That sound…  that was not the sound of an android.  Ben saw the blood seep from the rubble.   What he saw defied what he knew to be true and what would happen…  It wasn’t a human without any augmentations that first went to the girl’s aid.  It was androids and cyborgs….
That girl was just one of the many haunting imagines of his past.   Ghosts were all that followed him now.  This was more literal than figurative.  He didn’t know the names of the people hunting him down, but Ben was aware of their presence for several weeks now.  He recalled all the tricks his grandfather taught him about blending into a society where they didn’t accept what your ideas were despite your morals being the higher ground.   If Ben were to survive the manhunt… he needed to not look like a Purest.  He needed to at the least pretend to be comfortable around androids and cyborgs. Thankfully while he was on the run, he had managed to stay out of the way of those who practiced the alternative methodologies.
The ones that followed him… it seemed that they would fall back ever so often…  This would be one of those times.   There were days where he just wanted them to do something finish him off or leave him alone.  What this what it was like to be an animal in a cage not knowing when death would arrive?
Benjamin was deep in thought when he slammed into someone.  
“Fuck’s sake.” He hissed and immediately noticed that he knocked the contents of a woman’s bag on the ground.    He looked up to the poor woman that he had ran into then back down to the ground.  
A taser… pepper spray…  This woman must be terrified…
“I’m so sorry, let me help you. I should have been watching where I was going.   Nice, M35k you have there.  Useful when dealing with augmented persons.” He looked up at her with a smile.  “My grandfather had one…”  She looked a bit shaken.  The neighborhood that they were in… well, it was the Makato district.  It was a well-mixed and diverse area.  Why would she have these things here?  This was more over a liberal place… unless…  She was scared.  “I’m Ben.”  He continued to help her gather all the contents.  “There’s a pretty cool coffee shop with books and such around the corner.  It’s less crowded. Trying to get anywhere here right now seems difficult.  Want to hang out for a bit?” ( @dearlokigodofmischief )
✧—- Rey might have been aware of the way the world was, especially when it came to purists who wanted nothing to do with people like her, but she still held onto a certain naivety that perhaps her mother and her other guardians were wrong about people. Where her hopeful and positive streak came from, no one could really pinpoint. It certainly hadn’t come from Loki, it just sort of blossomed on its own. 
Why?
She didn’t know, nor would she admit that her tendency to see the glass half empty sometimes impaired her judgment. Was it any wonder that Loki, Niko, and Eris were so reluctant to let the young android explore on her own? So young and so desperate to experience what the world had to offer, she was most definitely a target for anyone sick enough to take advantage of her. At the back of her mind, she knew that to be true, but... 
Surely, nothing bad could come of her being more open to the world and the people that her mother didn’t understand? It wasn’t like she was going to go around and advertise that she was synthetic, after all. She’d been designed to look and feel human, just as her mother’s full-body augmentation was meant to. There would be no need for her to confess such a thing to strangers and as long as she was careful, she didn’t see the truth of just how dangerous getting close to a purist would be. 
Which is exactly what happened the moment a rather tall, black-haired man rammed into her. In truth, she could have avoided him, had she not been so lost in allowing her eyes to wander and take in the sights of the city. The fault fell on both of them, but before she could even think to bend down and collect the contents of her purse, the stranger knelt down to do it for her. 
“I, uh...” Gods, she didn’t know how to respond, really. “I’m not really afraid of augmented people,” she finally decided on staying. Why would she be? And why would this man feel the need to point that out? Surely... surely if he hated anything other than naturally born humans, he wouldn’t be in a neighborhood like this? Androids and modified persons roamed the streets hand-in-hand with humans who had been personally untouched by technology. “My mum just... worries. Insists I carry this sort of stuff with me when I’m alone because the world’s gone crazy.” It sounded like paranoia, but even as open-minded as Rey was, she still understood the reality of real danger. Maybe Loki was paranoid, but after what happened to him after he’d been uploaded into a synthetic body? She couldn’t blame him. 
Or any of them, really.
“Truth is, I’ve never even really had a reason to use any of this stuff, but it helps my mother worry less, so... I agree to keep it with me.” Once the spilled contents of her bad had been gathered, she flipped the purse closed and latched it properly, hoping that would be enough to avoid another accident. “Thanks for the help,” she added as she pulled the strap back over her shoulder. 
Blinking a few times, her big, brown eyes turned up to examine the taller man’s face. He saw her arrangement of self-defense weapons and he wasn’t afraid of her? Intrigued by her, even? The set off a warning bell in and of itself, but... he seemed very kind. Perhaps this would be a chance for her to get to know someone that wasn’t a member of her family.
“Sure,” she murmured, ignoring the light tint that touched her cheeks, just the same as a blush would fill a human’s cheeks. Loki spared no effort in putting her together and she was designed to be as human as possible in the body of a machine. Loki never wanted her to go through the transitions that he went through from being trapped in a body that didn’t feel things. He wanted her to experience all life had to offer from the moment she was “born” and he saw to it that she could. “That sounds lovely, actually, if you’ve got the time.” She smiled at him, big and bright. “I’m Rey, by the way. Nice to meet you.”
