Forum:FC:What's the (back)story?



This forum is an experiment. I'm going to try this once and see if it works, and if it doesn't, then I'll never do it again. .

What I'm doing is proposing something along the lines of What's the Story?, a feature where SW.com Hyperspace members can submit entries in a contest to have their writing included in canon. Except I'm not offering to make your work canonical. Instead, what I'm offering is an opportunity for you to write a backstory for an Essential Guide to Force Exile entry, specifically for a character of my choice. If you don't want to participate, then don't. And don't bother leaving me commentary telling me that this is a terrible idea. It will be flatly ignored.

So, here's a few ground rules.
 * 1) No breaking of canon. Sorry, but no. If this is going to be in Force Exile continuity, it just can't.
 * 2) I have sole discretion on what, if any, entries I pick. I reserve the right to mercilessly edit them. The original author will be credited on the main EGTFE page, as well as the actual entry.
 * 3) No Mary Sues.
 * 4) Along the same lines as Rule 3, no Force-sensitive battle-droids. Absolutely not.
 * 5) Please keep in mind the role the character plays in their respective story. I've provided a brief overview of their role since probably not everyone's read a lot of Force Exile.
 * 6) No junk or joke entries. I don't want to hear about how the schoolteacher was actually Darth Roxxors in a previous life.
 * 7) Nods to obscure canon are always a plus. :-D
 * 8) You are not required to write what the character's role in the FE work was. I can do that.
 * 9) I'm looking for about 500-2000 words of backstory as a general guideline.

How to submit

 * Post it here in a new section. Make sure you leave some indication of who you are.
 * OR send me an e-mail at (My user name) @ (Wookieepedia) (dot) (com)
 * I'll make a decision arbitrarily.

First character

 * Norres was an agent circa 16 BBY. He was stationed on  as a liasion to the Commenor Investigators and began suspecting Detective Annita Daowot of hiding something related to Jedi. His investigation eventually revealed suspicion that she had helped hide a Jedi named Selusda Kraen. He subsequently brought in  Ajaur and  to help deal with Annita on her wedding. However, a number of Jedi were at the wedding, and aided by smugglers, they defeated Norres's Imperial forces. Norres himself was slain at the hands of Annita and her soon-to-be husband, Jorgesoll Knrr. He's a sneaky, suspicious person with a knack for being both smooth and nosy at the same time. More information can be found in Force Exile III: Liberator (which I strongly recommend you read his parts if you are submitting an entry. The summary is mostly to provide a teaser/garner interest). No first name is given, and that can be part of the entry.
