To Anyone Thats Currently Curious About Mike Faist Bc Of Challengers, I Think Now Is The Time To Say

to anyone that’s currently curious about mike faist bc of challengers, i think now is the time to say that i write six of his roles. so uh. if you want to write with a mike muse, lmk because i’ve got six of them.

also, i guess i can use this as a starter and plotting call? so if you’d like to plot with any of the six roles (riff, dodge, connor, art, jack twist, or arthur) like this post and i’ll reach out or write you a starter. please specify a muse or else you won’t get anything!

riff

riff is a smuggler with a small network of people working for him. he's force sensitive and he's managed to figure out the general logistics of how the force works through trial and error. riff's gang, the jets, are the only ones that know riff is force sensitive. they call themselves the jets because they're fast and quick and pretty good at evading the law. they all have a tattoo somewhere of either a j or the silhouette of riff's ship. the sharks are a group that's sort of a smuggling group. they're more well off than riff and the jets, but not by much. they just want the jets to stop terrorizing the galaxy with their escapades. they get into fights a lot and the local authorities consider both groups an equal nuisance.

dodge

dodge is force sensitive and mostly does odd jobs around the outer rim. he has a small ship that he'll occasionally smuggle with but he mostly keeps to himself. he's trying to find and kill the bounty hunter that killed his older sister, dayna. while he tends to stick to small jobs in the outer rim, he will venture into the more expensive cities if he's paid well for it.

art

in the early days of the republic, there was a jedi known as art donaldson. he was a brilliant jedi knight, and those that knew him said he was one of the best jedi they had ever seen. when order sixty six was executed, art donaldson disappeared. the jedi that survived the purge assumed that he’d gone into hiding as they had. and then, a year after the execution of order sixty six, there were whispers of a new sith lord attacking camps in the outer rim. darth kyros, they call him. there aren’t typically survivors of his attacks, so the information on him is limited. all that’s known about him is that he’s dangerous and not someone to be crossed. somehow, a former jedi manages to survive an attack. darth kyros is art donaldson, he says. it sounds impossible. but another former jedi comes forward and says the same thing. after at least five have agreed, there can be no more denying it. art donaldson must be returned to the light side of the force. it takes a long time, but he is eventually returned to the light. art doesn’t talk about his time as darth kyros. if pressed for information, he says that the sith captured and brainwashed him until he broke. he becomes a member of the rebellion and is a valuable asset when it comes time to target the death star.

connor

connor is a jedi padawan. he’s an extremely volatile jedi padawan. he doesn’t have control of his emotions yet and he lashes out in anger a lot more than his master would like. the other masters are worried. the other padawans fear his anger and mock his lack of control. he’s too susceptible to the dark side, the masters say. he must get his emotions under control. connor doesn’t know if he can do that, but he’s not really willing to try. eventually, he is banished from the jedi order. he makes a living in the outer rim as best he can. when the rebellion starts, he keeps his head down. he doesn’t want to get dragged back into the order. they didn’t want him, after all.
