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.
