Coco and her Nice-Smelling Person (Ava Q&A)

[Ava Serala]

I'll throw this up now and get to it later. Thanks again to the team for putting this together. I had a blast doing my Obligation which is a treat in itself.

[Isond Vaal]

What was that Obligation? There was enough going on with Ava that I wasn't sure if any given thing fell into the Obligation vs. general shenanigans.

[Hatoful GM]

Always fun to play with Nekoinu! And you had a Nekoinu this time!

What were some big moments for Ava? What comes next for her?

[Teffa]

I enjoyed our scenes together and I was kind of hoping for more to be honest. Teffa did kind of hint that she would be open for a shopping trip to spend her winnings together but I suppose she wasn't that direct or Ava might have been fine about it.

She never got around to buying an Ava-inspired-impulse furry accessory for herself, probably best when it comes to the animals involved. Actually, Teffa was sitting on a lot of money to be spent.

What next for the love triangle? I definitely did not see that one coming

Are you happy you went with a Zeltron in the end? I know you were planning a brawler originally. Was she planning a double-cross?

[Faily]

Thank you for playing!

What made you decide on the Zeltron in the end after going through several ideas?

[Ava Serala]

What was that Obligation? There was enough going on with Ava that I wasn't sure if any given thing fell into the Obligation vs. general shenanigans.

The Obligation that seemed to be triggered was her "Blackmail" one. In her past, Ava had gone on one of her many drug-induced benders with a human woman affectionately known as Jules. Jules tried to keep up with the intake but her metabolism couldn't handle it like a Zeltron's could. She died and Ava's family helped her cover it up, sweep it under the rug, etc. However, Ava wasn't completely in the clear because somebody had caught on and blackmailed her into doing things.

The person contacting her turns out to be Jules' sister, Nat, which is something I didn't write in so that was rather cool! With that knowledge, Ava went from hating this person who wouldn't leave her alone to feeling really bad for what she'd done. That's a total first by the way for a narcissist!

Always fun to play with Nekoinu! And you had a Nekoinu this time!

What were some big moments for Ava? What comes next for her?

Nekoinu nekoinu? Anyhow, I'd say the biggest moment was the above! I'd say what comes next is related to her goals of trying to clean up. And hey, if the mood strikes me, maybe I'll play Senator Ava for Alderaan or something like that.

I enjoyed our scenes together and I was kind of hoping for more to be honest. Teffa did kind of hint that she would be open for a shopping trip to spend her winnings together but I suppose she wasn't that direct or Ava might have been fine about it.

Sorry to disappoint then! We'll have to have more threads in another game... I fell off with this due to all the novel writing I've been working on. I'd like to think that they ended up going on a shopping trip together in the back scenes just like Ava had talked to Alsten about dancing.

Ava was also sitting on a ton of cash. I lost track of my earnings tbh and would need to check on that another time...

What next for the love triangle? I definitely did not see that one coming

Are you happy you went with a Zeltron in the end? I know you were planning a brawler originally. Was she planning a double-cross?

Ah ah, the love triangle. Actually another highlight that I forgot to mention above for Hatoful GM's question.

I'm happy with her performance dice-wise but not so happy with my original intention. I wanted her to support more but honestly she ended up being a powerhouse on her own. Guess it's hard to make a narcissistic person who props up others?

In a way, I kind of wish I went the brawler since we seemed to have more social characters than fighters. As for the double-cross, never crossed my mind. Was definitely an interesting line to tread though! If she was really pressed to though, Ava would throw everyone in the crew under the bus... luckily it never came to that!

Thank you for playing!

What made you decide on the Zeltron in the end after going through several ideas?

Hmm that is an excellent question that is wracking my head. I think part of it was, after playing so many combat characters, I didn't want to feel the pressure to go into any combat threads. By making Ava so useless in a fight, I could always say no knowing that I'd be a liability!

But how Ava herself came to be, I actually considered playing Avilea (oh goodness they have similar name) instead! I couldn't find a Force Sensitive tree that I wanted to use that wasn't similar to Dayana in the XP range that we had. I have small regrets not playing Avilea since a runaway Jedi who is angsty towards my terrible former character would have been amusing.
