# About Anakin (Template)

### [Anakin](https://glowfic.com/templates/1940)

The Anakin sub-template is part of the Fate template, the main template of Heartsbloods.

#### <span style="text-decoration: underline;">**Personality**</span>

#### **<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Origins</span>**

This sub-template began with a Fate circumstance alted as Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars for [one girl revolution](https://glowfic.com/board_sections/487), 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.

#### **<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Name Attractors  
</span>**

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.

#### **<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Attractors</span>**

- 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)

####  

#### **<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Clusters</span>**

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.)

##### **Heartsbloods, by Decima:**

- [**Ares:**](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/decima/chapter/ares-%28template%29) 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:** ](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/decima/chapter/palpatine-%28template%29)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:](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/decima/chapter/jade-%28template%29)** Sometimes a subordinate or ally (often reluctantly) of Anakins.
- [**Ling:** ](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/decima/chapter/ling-%28template%29)Sometimes a subordinate or friend of Anakins.
