Aylin Vel (Page 11 of 13)

The Sintas/Ailyn case and their canonization made me realize I don't care about Boba Fett anymore, well not as much as I used to. So whatever he could've done in his past and anything happening to him because of it couldn't matter much since he's old and belongs to the Empire era. Well anyway that's the way it seems to me.

There needs to be a new Mandalorian hero, despite that heavy paradox (since there is no translation for "hero" in mando'a ) or some new people to carry around the might and dread that the Fetts symbolized in their own times.

But I would disapprove the "lineage" thing, bringing up some obscure liaison that Fett might've had with a woman on some remote planet, giving him offspring and hoping to use them growing into new characters that would try to be as cool and dangerous as the famous bounty hunter... That's just cheap, in my opinion.

I'd love to read about characters that have their own self-standing identity, with no relation at all with the movie heroes if you know what I mean.

I'm liking Beviin in Bloodlines---he seems to be a pretty cool Mando!

Ok, the blue lipstick is ridiculous

doesn't ailyn have a tattoo across her eye? i didn't see it in there.

Yeah, across her left eye according to Bloodlines.  And that is the way I have seen her depicted---dark blue lips and all--I would say that part is Kiffar trait too?

I stayed with those traits as well with my drawing of her.

I don't think the blue lips is a Kiffar trait.  Remember that Quinlan Vos is a Kiffar also, and his lips ain't blue.  It's probably just lipstick, I'd think.

Ahhh yes, I forgot about Vos...

Yeah!  LOL either way, I still wouldn't want to get on her bad side...

I agree. Can't explain why I don't like the lipstick, nail polish matching with her outfit, or the choice of colour. For the little that I like of her, she doesn't come off as the really "superficial" type. Unless she wants to prove to herself that she's a hardcore Kiffar, then I think it's kind of lame and desperate.

The word is psychometry. it translates into "the weighing of the soul" in Greek.

Lol

Yeah Beviin was pretty cool but i didnt like the way he kept bringing up the subject that Boba isnt a proper mando.

If Boba had raised Ailyn himself, and if she liked him, then I would like her, but without any further info on her at this point it just seems like she has an anger management problem (I don't blame her, but it's still irritating.)  It's difficult for me to like someone who hates Boba.  And it wouldn't have mattered if she had been a boy.  I wanted Fett to have a daughter anyway, just not like this.  The only thing I like about Ailyn is her design--it would be awesome to dress as her at a convention.

I also like Beviin; he was the real light of the new book for me.  And I liked how he used petnames for Boba--I never thought someone could get away with that.  The man has guts.
