A Story

Syren was a character I created as a fanatical fiction that dove deeply into the Star Wars universe created by George Lucas.  As I was 10 years old at the time of her creation, I had no idea how large the Star Wars fandom had expanded, I only knew that I wanted to make an aquatic Jedi that was somewhat more human looking than Jedi Master Kit Fisto.  While I love Nautolans, at the time my little mind needed a somewhat familiar looking alien.

As I grew up, Syren's species became more decidedly alien.  The Thallassans, as I began to call them went through transitions that looked like classical mermaids, then to more finny classic Tolkien elves, until they achieved a look that looks something like a a Whaley-Boy meets Navi (at least that might be what it looks like in my head).  It wasn't until I started writing on JvS though that the species became very real to me.  I was creating a cultural background through one character, and it was very important to me to record every aspect of the species and not just the personality of Syren.

Eventually, Thallassans was not a term I wanted to associate with the species any longer.  I had developed their language to a point where I had them calling themselves something completely different, even though the meaning in my head might have been the same.  The species is supposed to be so secreted away that no one knows about them anyway, right?

Essentially the species was developed and inundated into the Star Wars universe in such way, that they could become a part of it, but I doubt that will ever happen.  So instead, my Nenya and Calnennore will step into their own stories, mostly because I love them and cannot fathom leaving them to dangle forever in a limbo.  So here, I will be writing short stories about my little corner of the universe I will be creating.  Finally I have a focal point.
