| Mara on SWfans

|
All the way back in 2000 she got drawn into the roleplaying world of the then ezboard SWFans after following a "raging spammer" called GrandAdmiralThrawn who recruited her as Imperial Intelligence Director Isard. First running Imperial Intelligence (ImpIntel), she went on to create a plethora of characters of various affiliations, Nya Halcyon a.k.a. Delirion being her most notable character.
In 2001, together with Darth Rane and Jeseth Cloak she was responsible for creating and running the Dark Jedi group The Black Hand.
Later that same year, aided and abetted by Sanis Prent she developed the character of Sasseeri Reeouurra and helped lay the foundation to the Cizerack species.
She became one of the Admins at SWfans in mid 2001.
In mid 2002, she left SWfans and continued roleplaying for another year or two elsewhere, before succumbing to a nasty case of writer's block that rendered her incapable of stringing two sensible words together in a written sentence. It might probably just have been an overdose of Star Wars - who knows.
In late January 2008, she returned to SWfans with the intention of lurking for a while and seeing what the future might bring, but got drawn in by the fact that things were structured so nicely now due to the reset, so she surprised herself by creating a character and being able to write after all. Since then she's not only created 4 other main characters and a group (the Black Bloods Pirates) but also a slew of other characters to support her main ones.
Currently she is obsessed about Clone commandos and is on her way to fluency in Mando'a.
