i do consider my blog to be canon divergent. for the MAIN part of the series, this isn't going to really affect any major plot points. rather, my interest is more at the HEART of jace's character, something i believe his romance with clary greatly overshadowed. so i WILL be writing jace as though that relationship did not happen. any interactions, ESPECIALLY with clary rpers, will not acknowledge her as having any sort of draw for him. he will NOT compromise his arrogance or conceit straight away for ANYONE.

unless otherwise stated, my JACE begins a tentative relationship with SIMON LEWIS during the events of city of glass. this means that following the events of that book, he'll slowly become LESS likely to flirt, become LESS promiscuous as he becomes used to && comfortable with the idea of monogamy. any reference to clary will be one in which, although he knows his true parantege, he still regards her as a SISTER. there will also be a fair amount of guilt associated with her, as he was off running around idris WITH HER while alicante burned && max was KILLED.

it's extremely IMPORTANT to recognize that what clary did at the end of CITY OF LOST SOULS, the way she yelled for sebastian to rob jace of his FREE WILL is wrong. it's selfish. her being a little remorseful after the fact DOES NOT CHANGE THIS. it's extremely abusive to literally take away his right to choose, his agency over his OWN BODY, to force him into something he's clearly stated he would rather DIE than be, because she wanted to keep jace with her. this blog WILL be acknowledging it as such.

jace is a character who is defined largely by how SLOW he is to trust people, by how guarded he is, by how he's been raised to believe LOVE IS INHERENTLY DESTRUCTIVE. in robbing him of his free will, clary basically PROVED that to him. he will not be forgiving her immediately. chances are, he WILL NOT want to see her afterwards for awhile. now he has to FIGURE OUT the heavenly fire, he doesn't want to deal with a selfish little girl who thinks her wishes get to override his ability to consent on top of that. it's POSSIBLE that they might reconcile, but this is largely dependent on plotting && i doubt their bond will ever be as strong as it might have been before as a DIRECT result of clary's actions.

in terms of GENERAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT of these events, jace was robbed of his free will for an excessive amount of time. not only that, but he was in SEXUAL SITUATIONS during this time. with his ability to consent voided by sebastian's control over his will && what we know of sebastian's own sexual appetite && desires, it's ambiguous as to whether jace would have ever consented to those situations. considering the established relationship with SIMON LEWIS that is considered canon to this blog, he WOULD NOT HAVE CONSENTED to the sexual situations which occur while his will && ability to consent are stripped from him.that is GOING TO leave a mark on him. he's going to be dealing with lingering effects of that. with GUILT for what he's done, PARANOIA that it might happen again, && he's going to have an increased difficulty when it comes to trusting people. please RESPECT that this was an extremely traumatic experience for him && it will be treated as such.

i haven't actually finished city of heavenly fire, so i'll be UPDATING this when i do.

my original BASE theme is a free for use code by enterprizer, though it has been EXTENSIVELY edited by me. for this reason, i ask that my code not be taken from this blog. the portion of coding for the LINK JUMBLE is done with unseenmockingjay's tutorial. the popups are a code by str-wrs,  &&  have been edited with tutorials by showmaxter.

the background was made by me, as were all other graphics used on this blog unless otherwise stated. all ICONS; are edited with PSDS made by myself  &&  a majority are created by myself, barefootcd, or are found on various aesthetic blogs.

as all graphics are created by me, they are not available for public use. this includes SAVING icons  &&  using any graphics or promos as a template without direct permission. this includes both duplicating the design of a graphic or promo, as well as directly saving an image to use as a TEMPLATE OR CLIPPING MASK while making your own. i also ask that headcanons  &&  character development.

don't steal!

this is an INDEPENDENT, SELECTIVE, PRIVATE  &&  SEMI-EXCLUSIVE roleplay blog for anakin solo of the star wars LEGENDS/EXTENDED UNIVERSE. i consider myself selective in who i follow,  &&  private in that i will only roleplay with MUTUALS.

anakin is not an original character and, as such, i have no rights to him. however, all headcanons found on this blog are MINE, and i ask that they be respected and not copied or replicated. i do not look kindly on  p l a g i a r i s m .  i ALSO own any and all graphics found on this blog and as that they NOT be stolen.

i understand that, as part of their acquisition of the series, DISNEY has decided to throw out the  e x t e n d e d  u n i v e r s e .  it is, however, still canon in my heart <3 and i will consider anakin to be as such according to the eu.

i am fully versed in MOVIE CANON, and will be basing a great deal of background knowledge on this. however, anakin comes from eu canon, and my characterization will stem from there. please understand that i am  s l o w l y  working my way throught he eu, and my understanding may change and evolve based on this and my own, personal headcanons.

while the character of anakin is not original, all development found on this page remains MY OWN. i put a lot of effort into developing my rendition of this character in a very particular way,  &&  i ask that this not be stolen, via through REPOSTED or REBLOGGED drabbles or headcanons that i may write, or simply through blatant immitation. i understand that some similarities cannot be helped,  &&  that some headcanons are widely accepted, but there is a difference between these similarities  &&  plagiarism from this BLOG. i ask that this be respected, especially as i have had issues with this in the PAST.

this blog will feature TRIGGERING CONTENT. if you are easily triggered, please keep this in mind. i will do my best to tag any  &&  all triggers present, both in visual form  &&  in written form. the most common of these will be:

" BLOOD CW, VIOLENCE TW, DEATH TW, MURDER TW, DUB CON TW, NON CON TW, TORTURE TW, NSFW  &&  MENTAL HEALTH TW. "

these will all be tagged automatically as they are listed above. while i read everyone's rules  &&  DO make an effort to remember what additional triggers must be tagged, at times i can forget due to the sheer amount of rules pages i read. for my followers' comfort  &&  safety, i ask that you POLITELY approach me via my ask box or im if i miss something, or if there is an additional trigger you need tagged. your safety  &&  mental health are important,  &&  i don't want anyone to feel unsafe or be majorly triggered because of the content of this blog.

this blog is rather selective in who i choose to follow. part of this is simply because it is NOT my only blog,  &&  it's easier to balance them all if i'm selective. another is simply for ease of roleplay. if i follow you, i WANT to interact with you. if i choose not to follow you, however, it truly is nothing personal.

i look through every blog that follows me before deciding whether to follow back or not. i look to see if our writing styles match, if i can see our characters interacting,  &&  if your take on your character seems interesting to me.

some things that i am a bit of a stickler for are that i WILL NOT follow or will UNFOLLOW for untagged nsfw, uncut posts, or an excess of vagueblogging  &&  drama. i DO have a tendency to become anxious  &&  extremely uncomfortable around such things  &&  prefer to keep it from my dash. i will also unfollow for gratuitous amounts of WANK towards my character. i understand that the new season is coming out  &&  that we all are entitled to our own opinions. however, it is difficult for me to keep motivation up for this blog if all i'm seeing is hate towards my character. this blog is a safe space for ENJOYMENT for me,  &&  i ask that this be respected.

if i follow you, it means i've looked through your blog  &&  i WANT to interact with you. i do my best to send memes to a variety of my followers  &&  to post starter calls, which are open to MUTUALS only. one of the main things i ask is that if we are not mutuals, however, you refrain from sending in MEMES, asks to RP, or liking starter calls unless otherwise marked. i'm rather bad at saying no, so such actions put the BOTH of us in a rather awkward position. it's better just to check if we are mutuals ahead of time.

something i do ask is that, when INTERACTING with me, you respect my character's position in canon. in terms of interacting with rpers from the new canon, this may require plotting to make sure that both parties are comfortable with what is being written, due to the rewriting of the family trees that disney has undergone. please, do not metagame me or powerplay me.INJURING my muse is fine in threads, but please do not kill him without prior plotting. also, please, respect that anakin is considered one of the greatest jedi of his generation, canonically speaking. stronger than most in the force, he is dangerous  &&  deadly.   i ask that this be respected, &&  i will likely drop any thread which ACTIVELY undermines or dismisses this.

i DO format my replies. this is done generally through SUB/SMALL text  &&  the use of icons. while i don't require the use of super small text in my partners by ANY means, it's worth noting that i find it hard to focus on tumblr's DEFAULT text size in large quantities. i do, however, have a tendency not to rp with those who use large gifs or large photos in their replies. YES, it is an aesthetic thing, but one that tends to look cluttered  &&  leave it difficult for me to write or continue a thread. one formatting thing i DO require, though, is that threats be cut,  &&  reblogged as text posts,  &&  that any ask memes that are continued be continued on new text posts.

exclusivity is generally preferred, though it is not required to interact with me in general. i like to develop strong relationships with other muses  &&  in doing this, tend to develop them  &&  a relationship with another mun to the extent that i NO LONGER wish to write with a duplicate of that muse.

i only practice mutual exclusivity, which means that if I am not rping with duplicates of your muse, i expect the same in return. in this, i believe communication between muns is important. i prefer to look at exclusivity as something which can be discussed  &&  agreed upon between muns,  &&  which can be tailored  &&  altered to fit specific blogs  &&  needs through communication.

i am currently exclusive with:

i am currently semi-exclusive with:

NAME: anakin solo
MEANING: anakin a name passed down to him from his grandfather, anakin skywalker. his mother gave it to him in the hopes of overcoming her fear of the elder anakin, who later became darth vader, through the love of her son. it's been a point of contension throughout his life, leaving a heavy burden on his shoulders and the fear that he is doomed to repeat his grandfather's mistakes.


GENDER: male
SEX: male
ORIENTATION: bisexuall
AGE: verse dependent. generally 16-19. note, i am canon divergent in this and tend to stretch out the timeline of the yuuzhan-vong war for developmental purposes, as anakin canonically martyrs himself at 16.
STATUS: jedi knight.

FATHER:
han solo.

MOTHER:
leia organa solo.

SIBLINGS:
jacen && jaina solo.

UNCLE:
luke skywalker.

MENTOR:
master ikrit.

being the child of leia organa solo and han solo came as both a blessing and a curse to the three solo children. part of a family which loved each other unconditionally and would go to the ends of the galaxy for one another, anakin never had to fear being alone. his parents were always there when needed, always full of love for him, even though they were often kept busy in diplomatic proceedings or missions for the new republic. but even when they were unavailable, there was never a shortage of his two older siblings running around, teaching him to swim in a small stream while their mother attended diplomatic talks. nor was there a shortage of extended family, of uncle luke and those anakin had come to love and care for at his jedi academy, or even of chewbacca, the wookie who, in many ways, had a larger hand in raising him than his parents might have. it was a blessed childhood, one in which he rarely wanted for anything. except, perhaps, security. 

that was the RUB; as a child of han and leia organa solo, and as the nephew of luke skywalker, there might as well have been a TARGET on his back before he even knew what it meant to shoot. even before his birth, he was the target of attacks, and the former emperor palpatine touched him in the womb in an attempt to steal the unborn’s body as his own. the first two of his years were spent in an exile of sorts, separated from his family all but once a month when his parents could visit, on the planet of anoth, which uncle luke had secured for the solo children so that no harm may come to them. and perhaps there was something to that paranoia after all; there was an attempt to kidnap the child while he was still secured there.

that wasn’t the only attempt at kidnapping the child before he could defend himself. the exile ended when leia took anakin from anoth, and he rejoined his siblings for a time. then the unthinkable happened. ( as he grew older, he would come to believe events of this sort to be very thinkable and even expected ) a pressure bomb went off in a meadow where he and his siblings had been playing, almost killing chewbacca and giving the cover that kidnappers needed in order to steal the children away. the plan had been to sacrifice the three force sensitive children, but it failed when anakin’s parents and uncle rescued them. however, the event did lead to one revelation for anakin solo; even at an early age, the force was stronger with him than it was with most force sensitive children. it was a trend that would continue on as he grew and matured. 

the rest of his childhood passed in MUCH the same way; traveling with their parents to various summits and political events left the solo children clearly in the line of fire for various plots and catastrophes. anakin survived them all, growing as he did so and learning to rely on and treat the force as though it were a tool. each new plot presented a problem to be solved, and the force was a way to solve that problem. it seemed simple to him, as a child who had grown up surrounded by it, and as one who found using the force to be as simple and as natural a matter as breathing. 

at age eleven, he went with his uncle luke skywalker to the JEDI PRAXEUM in the great temple on YAVIN 4, where he officially began his training to be a jedi knight. it is here that he learned the skills necessary to both use the FORCE with ease, but also to create and fight with his own lightsaber and other such necessary skills for a jedi. as a student, his adventures did not cease; along with fellow student and friend tahiri, he discovered an ancient JEDI MASTER and freed the souls of messassi children who had been trapped for thousands of years by a sith lord. 

as his TRAINING progressed and his strength in the force grew, so did his worries. named for his grandfather, anakin skywalker, who had been responsible for the slaughtering of billions as darth vader during the EMPIRE, he was terrified that he would follow the same path. the idea that he might one day fall to the sith as his namesake had would haunt his every moment throughout his short life. after several missions and the OUTSET of the war against the YUUZHAN VONG, it would tug at the edges of his mind and, as more and more people died, people that he couldn’t save, and with the DEATH of chewbacca, he would begin to believe he might have been making VADER proud through his actions.

in response, he threw himself fully into service as a JEDI and as a protector of order in the new republic. as the war against the yuuzhan vong progressed, anti-jedism spread throughout the republic, and ANAKIN found himself in the middle of it. as a solo, the yuuzhan vong had put a hefty bounty on his head, and only slightly lesser bounties on the heads of his fellow jedi. but it’s not until the yuuzhan vong begin OCCUPATION of the yavin system that he begins to learn more about his enemy. with the jedi praxeum on yavin 4, anakin disobeys his uncle’s DIRECT orders in order to go save the jedi children, and his best friend tahiri. 

it’s on yavin 4 that he encounters the yuuzhan vong on a personal level, beginning to learn how they think and why they act as they do; an IMPORTANT thing, as the yuuzhan vong are something outside of the force. it’s not until anakin learns about their living technology and their beliefs that he is able to begin to s e n s e them through VONGSENSE, something only one jedi has been able to do before. it’s through this that he rebuilds his BROKEN lightsaber with a piece of yuuzhan vong living technology, and go on to rescue tahiri and the remainder of the jedi children. 

though he then UNDERSTOOD the yuuzhan vong, he was even more set than ever in the war against them. they were THREATENING his galaxy, occupying the planets of his friends, and he w o u l d defeat them. it’s a mission that, ultimately, would cost his life. the jedi would prevail in the war against the YUUZHAN VONG, but at 17 years old, anakin would give his life for it.

the name of the condemned, and even the youth knows to fear becoming the grandfather he is named for. adept with the force at an early age, he is a target from the moment of his first infant's cry. a hero preordained by fate and by blood, and yet at night the boy cowers and wonders WILL I MAKE VADER PROUD ?

a war wages on the outskirts of the GALAXY; a threat from without, rather than within. the YUUZHAN-VONG, a strange people with no galaxy as their own, begin occupying planets on the fringe of the galaxy. while the new republic fumbles, trying to placate the invaders, jedi are targeted. one thing is certain; as the republic begins to turn against them, the order CANNOT be idle.

a turning point in the war comes when the vong decide their next occupation will be YAVIN 4, home of the jedi praxeum. knowing that something must be done before the padawans training there are captured by the enemy, anakin sneaks out on an x-wing to do whatever he can. after his former master is killed and his best friend captured in the rescue mission, he is stranded in hostile territory. through trial and tribulation, he infiltrates the yuuzhan-vong camp and develops VONGSENSE, an ability to sense this enemy which is invisible to the FORCE. the children rescued, he leaves YAVIN 4 with a new understanding of the enemy and a greater need to fight and defend his galaxy. it is a drive that, in the end, will extinguish his light, leaving him another martyred jedi.

he had always known that it was a possibility, and at times, he had come close to wishing for it. with so much blood on his hands, so many people that he had failed to save, how could he not? his drive had cost him his life, martyred on the field of battle. up in a beam with light, he became one with the force, and now he can only look on from a distance as life continues. a force ghost, he appears to those he can, wishing only to help those he has loved in life.

by some quirk of fate, anakin did not die in battle. he lived to see the end of the war, and in living spared his loved ones a great deal of pain. the fallout of his death evaded, he works to restore the balance of the force following the yuuzhan-vong war.

the jedi order have functioned on earth for thousands of years, training their force sensitive children and taking in any outsiders they find with a connection to the force. anakin is the son of a successful pilot, han solo, and a united states senator, leia. the force runs strongly through his veins, traced back through his mother and his uncle. trained in the ancient ways of the jedi order, he lives a double life. on one hand, he lives as an ordinary teenager, but on the other, the lightsaber comes out and he's involved in things that most people would believe defy explanation.

chewbacca is dead, and it is HIS fault. every time han looks at his son, it's impossible to miss the blame held in his eyes. the guilt and the blame fester within the boy and DARKNESS grows. anger, and the need to not FAIL anyone else, to not let anyone else die leads to the FALL. and when the force is already nothing more than a trivial tool to one who uses it as easily as he breathes, how could it be helped but FALL to the sith? how could he do anything but MAKE VADER PROUD.

away with his mother when ben turned, anakin found too late the carnage the elder solo had left behind. perhaps it was the last vestiges of light within him that kept him from immediately slaying his uncle && younger brother, or perhaps anakin was just kept hidden well enough that he didn't bother. regardless, he was taught to hide what he was, to use he force only in the smallest of ways, only when it could be hidden. a difficult task to a boy who finds drawing upon it as easy && as necessary to life as breathing, but what choice does he have ? sensing his father's distrust for what he is, believing han might expect him to turn as his brother had, anakin chose to stay close to his mother's side, active more as a pilot && strategist than a jedi within the resistance.
