    Luke Skywalker’s PoV (and R2-D2)

    Luke Skywalker wasn’t sure what to think of all this.

    Not five minutes ago, he had been sitting in Old Ben’s hermit cave, meditating as usual, and occasionally talking to his droid, R2-D2. He had just begun his daily mind exercises when the oddest sensation swept over him. Luke had grabbed his lightsaber, ready for any foe, but was met with only a blank sort of darkness, in mind and feeling. What could have been hours or an instant later he awoke in this room. R2-D2 was at his side, and the droid appeared to have shorted out. Luke bent down and pressed several buttons before the cylindrical droid spun its dome-shaped head and bleeped in confusion. Luke patted Artoo’s head reassuringly and stood.

    “I’m not sure what happened either, Artoo,” he said, gazing about his new surroundings.

    The room Luke stood in was filled with tapestries of all sorts and sizes, seeming to display every known symbol, coat of arms, and insignia in the galaxy, and many more after that. Underneath the tapestries at the top level more lay draped over the wall, and when Luke pulled those in the back aside he saw only more underneath. Luke shook his head.

    He knew that the Force could induce strong hallucinations or visions, but this was unlike anything he had experienced. Perhaps it was some sort of test. Perhaps some dark force was at work here. Perhaps he had drunk too much blue milk again and was paying for it.

    Luke shrugged. Only time could tell. He’d stay on his guard, but as long as nothing seemed awry, he saw no reason not to explore this new place. He kept a casual grip on the lightsaber hilt at his side and started down the hallway of tapestries, Artoo following close behind.

    ~~~~~~

    Luke: he’s pretty much your average hero. Blond, tan, handsome, blue eyes, ect. He’s been called whiny, but most of what he does is rooted in a noble cause.

    Traits: Brave, a little impulsive, honest/noble/true, headstrong, kind, loyal, INFP, farm boy-turned-Jedi Knight, 19 (ish)

    If you just think typical fantasy male protagonist, you’re pretty good to go.

    R2-D2: Feisty, brave, determined, stubborn, eccentric, ENTP

    Look, I know he’s a droid, but Artoo’s got PERSONALITY.
