[[folder:Gothren Marvani (''The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'')]]
-> '''Race:''' Dunmer

[[http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=50110413 Gothren Marvani]] is [=StarSword's=] current character in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', and the son of one of his ''Oblivion'' characters [[spoiler:which made for an interesting encounter during Sheogorath's quest]]. A sellsword born in Skingrad, he is a veteran of the Great War during which he served the Empire as a scout and saboteur. He was crossing into Skyrim looking for greener pastures when he was caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

!!Tropes applicable to [=StarSword's=] {{Original Character}}s:
[[folder:Kalir Patten (''Neverwinter Nights 2'')]]
-> '''Race:''' Aasimar\\
'''Alignment:''' LawfulGood\\
'''Class:''' Paladin 20 of the Red Knight/Divine Champion 10

[[http://fav.me/d1yzyc7 Kalir Patten]] is a paladin of the Red Knight developed for ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2''. Her backstory eventually developed into an entire knightly order called the Order of the Lanceboard, which makes use of militarism and combat tactics to fight evil and make life better for Faerûnians.

* ActionGirl: Kind of a job requirement for paladins.
* ActionMom: She has three daughters. Narra was fathered by Casavir during the Shadow War, and her twins Sybille and Ressa are Gann's.
* BattleCouple: With Gannayev-of-Dreams, whom she married after ending the Spirit-Eater curse permanently in ''Mask of the Betrayer''. Also formed one with Casavir, but his getting crushed by a CollapsingLair put an end to that.
* TheCaptain[=/=]FourStarBadass: Relinquished her rank as Knight-Captain of Crossroad Keep, only to then be made Knight-Commander of an Order of the Lanceboard garrison in Thay, headquartered around the Academy of Shapers and Binders.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Again, she's a paladin. More specifically, she's tender and caring with her loved ones and firmly believes that most people are naturally good at heart and that [[Theatre/SouthPacific you've got to be taught to hate]]. She prefers to talk first and fight second, though she has no qualms about killing those who need to be killed and absolutely despises slavers in particular.
* HappilyMarried: To Gannayev-of-Dreams.
* ImprobableAge: She's in her mid-twenties by the time of the Spellplague. Spending almost the entirety of 1374 DR in near-constant battle does wonders for your character level. She was granted her current rank in the Order of the Lanceboard on basis of skill and commitment alone, which ruffled more than a few feathers.
* ThePaladin
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Always listens to her (frequently older and more experienced) subordinates' opinions, even if she may ultimately decide counter to them.
* WeaponOfChoice: The [[LegendaryWeapon Silver Sword of Gith]].

[[folder:Lieutenant Commander Diana Shepard (''Mass Effect'')]]
-> '''Race:''' Human\\
'''Alignment:''' Paragade\\
'''Class:''' Infiltrator

[[http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/902100723096778160/B0DD83ED2CE54203D08F90E6254CFB55959A5B3F/ Diana Shepard]], [=StarSword=]'s ''Franchise/MassEffect'' character, with the [[DarkAndTroubledPast Earthborn]] and War Hero backgrounds.

* ActionGirl: It's ''Shepard''.
* BattleCouple: With Kaiden Alenko.
* {{BFG}}: Favors single-shot, high-damage sniper rifles. Used the M-98 Widow in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' and the Kishock Harpoon Gun in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''.
* CombatPragmatist: Only too happy to make environmental kills like blowing up explosive containers and the like.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: An orphaned inner-city girl from Cincinatti and an orphan, she joined the Alliance because it gave her something to believe in. She also found God through an Alliance chaplain.
* FriendlySniper
* GoodIsNotNice[=/=]GoodIsNotSoft: Likes people for the most part, and will swallow her pride for the greater good. But she can be described as "no greater friend, no worse enemy": she has zero tolerance for reckless endangerment, particularly of civilians, and beat the crap out of Admiral Koris after he fired on a geth dreadnought with her and her team still aboard.
