Fate - Anakin (Template)

Fate - Anakin (Template) A subtemplate of the Fate template, Anakin started as a circumstance alt of Anakin Skywalker, and grew from there. Anakin Skywalker and Xena are foundational members. About Anakin (Template) Anakin Skywalker (calling-my-name) Anakin Skywalker (stay-awake) About Anakin (Template) Anakin The Anakin sub-template is part of the Fate template, the main template of Heartsbloods. Personality Origins This sub-template began with a Fate circumstance alted as Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars for one girl revolution, a Star Wars rewrite by Decima and Diaeresis. Xena is also a foundational member of the template, due to parallels between her story and Anakin's. Xena often serves as the pattern for Hero or otherwise post-Warlord Anakins. Name Attractors Anakins have no set name patterns. However, unlike most members of their template-group, they usually keep their birth name or some variant of it. The Warlord and Mirror clusters often, but not always, adopt different names. Attractors Always female or cultural/ species/ societal equivalent Pansexual Switch Both sadistic and masochistic Fights for freedom and against fate Will not betray allies Father figures and mentor figures are important, and can sometimes be the same character (though usually aren't) Clusters The Anakin template has primarily temporal clusters, which she mostly moves through in order. Different stages have different character accounts. The clusters are: Early (Anakin starts out seriously trying to be good, pro-social, or what someone she cares about might want her to be) Warlord (Anakin proceeds to have a meltdown or reach a breaking point, and generally proceeds to go for violent conquest) Hero (Anakin eventually hits rock bottom and is redeemed by someone she cares deeply for, deciding to retire - and then coming out of retirement because fuck, the world needs fixing, doesn't it. Sometimes she manages this without someone else redeeming her) Mirror (Sometimes something weird happens to one of the other clusters, usually a Warlord or Hero, resulting in a clone or an Anakin with amnesia.) Associated Characters Heartsbloods, by Decima: Ares: A common father for Anakins, especially those more in the mold of Xena. Ares is always a god of war, though, or a similar story role, and cannot appear in worlds without those. Ares tends to move between ally and enemy as the whim strikes him. Palpatine: A common father for Anakins, especially those more in the mold of Anakin Skywalker. Palpatine is always a manipulator and always an antagonist. Palpatine ~ Lily: A sub-template of Palpatines. Unlike the main members, Lily tends to be more concerned with those she cares about. She so far is usually a student of a Fate; when she's the student of an Anakin, there's a good chance there's also a Palpatine-main around in Anakin's backstory. Jade: Sometimes a subordinate or ally (often reluctantly) of Anakins. Ling: Sometimes a subordinate or friend of Anakins. Fuchsias, by ChaosMagic: Leia and Luke: Anakin's template children Leia Kids: Jacen, Jaina, and baby Anakin. These are Anakin's grandchildren. Shmi Skywalker: Anakin's mother. So far not a template. Others Ellie: A Diaeresis character. Ellies are frequently girlfriends of Anakin, or otherwise important Kaylee: A Rotifer character. Has been an Anakin girlfriend at least once, and likely will again.

Anakin Skywalker (calling-my- name) "We all do the best we can," she says, softly, not letting her blooming this is wrong and I will end it show on her face. (But it is, and she will. The future is ever in motion, after all - and so is Anakin.) Anakin Skywalker (calling-my-name) is a glowfic character in the Anakin (Decima) template, written by Decima. She is part of the Early cluster of her template, representing prequels era Anakin Skywalker. She is a circumstance alt of canon Anakin, rather than an actual representation of him. Anakin's personality is highly influenced by her narrative arc - which Jedi teacher she has and which love interest she has are particularly strong, there. She usually starts out fairly flippant and vicious as a child, uncaring of whether people she doesn't care about suffer, and prone to solving problems with violence first. She tends to grow in fits and starts towards a more nuanced, deeper philosophy, and usually finds herself wrestling with ideals of pacifism, universal sapient rights, freedom, and loyalty. Anakin is the base member of the Anakin sub-template. She tends to, however, have a far stronger philosophical foundation before going into the Warlord phase (and can even outright avert it, unlike most Anakins), but she also tends to fall much farther and end up more miserable if she does hit the Warlord phase. Cluster: Early (phase) Setting: Star Wars (prequels era) Other Names: Ani (rare nickname) Facecast: Isabelle Fuhrman Screenname Origin: the song "Vulture, Vulture" by Of Monsters and Men. All accounts in the Anakin Skywalker line have screennames from the same set of verses. Related Characters: Anakin Skywalker (stay-awake) (wiki). She is a later version of Anakin in a different phase. Also known as "Force Ghost Anakin". Ani (figure-it-out) (wiki). She is a later version of Anakin in a different phase. Also known as "redeemed Darth Vader" Darth Vader (swallows-my-pain) (wiki). She is a later version of Anakin in a different phase. Development History She originally was made for and introduced in the "one girl revolution" subcontinuity of Fulmination, a Star Wars rewrite by Decima and Diaeresis. A precursor of Anakin was Ebele Agwo, an Old Republic Jedi initially created to be shipped with Darth Occlus. Both attempts to ship them failed, and it was noted that Ebele would've gotten along better with a Jedi version of Ellie. However, Ellie wouldn't be a Jedi if Sith were an option - so the idea of alting Ellie and the Decima template group into the Star Wars prequels was born. (Ironically, a post-OT version of Anakin Skywalker ended up being shipped with Occlus, bringing the template history full circle.) Backstory Anakin is invariably a slave throughout her childhood. She's born to Shmi Skywalker, a woman from a family that's been enslaved for as long as she knows. When Anakin is a toddler, she and her mother are sold to Gardulla the Hutt, a vicious slave trader from the planet Tatooine who delights in tormenting her slaves. One relevant torment is that children she doesn't think will grow up to any other profitable use are trapped in a large 'garden' full of other such children - and starved, dangerous predators. Gardulla finds the childrens' attempts to survive amusing, and after Anakin displays an unruly personality, Anakin herself is condemned to this garden. Anakin develops the ability to hide herself in the Force and to manipulate the minds of others at a very young age, purely out of self preservation. She escapes from the garden, rejoining her mother and staying beside Shmi as Shmi's services as a domestic slave are rented out beyond Gardulla's compound. Anakin develops a plan to kill all of Tatooine's slavers - especially Gardulla - and free as many slaves as she can. This succeeds, if nothing interrupts her, and she tends to become a Jedi after her escape from Gardulla (one way or another). Narrative Arcs Anakin tends to struggle fairly intensely with her place in the galaxy. She's invariably immensely fond of her Jedi Master - but many of the facets of the Jedi Order chafe at her. She feels love extremely deeply, and she can end up torn between 'love' and 'duty.' Anakin also tends to struggle with questions of freedom and complicity in slavery, as well as questions of peace versus violence. Her world, unless disrupted, proceeds through the overarching plot of the Star Wars prequels - the invasion of Naboo around the time Anakin becomes a Jedi Padawan, the outbreak of the Clone Wars, and the fall of the Republic leading to the destruction of the Jedi Order and the rise of the Empire. Anakin loathes being a soldier, especially as a general of an army she sees as composed of slaves - an army she often must lead to their deaths. She pushes hard for freedom, often finding herself pulled deeper into helplessness and fear. Palpatine, the Sith Lord and future Emperor, throws fuel on this fire, manipulating Anakin's great capacity for love and pushing her into ever more stressful situations until she breaks, becoming Darth Vader. Powers and Abilities Anakin is powerful in and talented with the Force, the magic system native to the Star Wars universe. She can hide herself from others' perception rather adeptly, and this is the first real talent she learns. She has frequent visions, especially of events yet to come, and she's skilled at discerning what actions she needs to take to reach a desired outcome.
