Accepted Interview for Kate al'Ker

[Amadine]

Dragonmount Handle: Matalina

 

Full Character Name: Kate al'Ker

 

 

Part 1 - Out of Character

1.1. Which Ajah do you aspire to join and why?

 

 

That's in an interesting question for Kate. She started out aspiring to the Green Ajah because that is how she was raised - to be a warrior. Her mother being a former warder and then Tower guard (as well as her father) she had the access to the training and it was all her mother really knew. But later in her career as an Accepted Kate ran into a situation that made her choose to aspire to the Yellow Ajah. She decided that it was best for her in the killing aspect to learn anything and everything about the body so that she could kill easily. That was her passion and it really had been since a young age, just was hidden.

 

 

1.2. How old would you place your Aes Sedai in the Main Timeline? Remember that Sitters must be at least 90 years of Age to sit in the Hall. (Information on the Aes Sedai Aging system is on both the Website and the WT Structure Board)

 

 

Kate will be very young in the main time line as it already poses enough issues with other characters. I'm thinking maybe 10 years after being raised at the most. So that would be 39 approximately.

 

 

1.3. Have you role-played with any members of your aspiring Ajah? If so, who? What sort of impact did that member have on your character?

 

 

Yes Kate did but it was as a Novice and had no real impact on the choice of ajah. I'm not going to butcher Boobsy's character name off the top of my head but we RP'd breaking Kate's block.

 

 

1.4. Define freely what your character sees to be her Ajah's purpose? Does if differ from the norm?

 

 

Kate knows that the Ajah is there to heal. That is it's purpose, but Kate also knows that it knows alot about the body and how it works, that is her main reason for being Yellow. She unlike most yellows isn't interested in healing despite what her outer actions might say, she'd rather fake trying to heal someone just to learn more about their illness and their bodies.

 

 

1.5. What kind of a role would you like your character and you OOCly to have in your Ajah and in the White Tower?

 

 

Very small. I don't want any responsiblity. Kate isn't leader material, but she's not a follower either she'd rather work alone.

 

 

 

Part 2 - In Character Development

2.1. What kind of a woman was your character when she was enrolled as a novice and what kind of a woman is she now?

 

 

Kate was a girl when she enrolled. She'd been trained to be a warrior and her attitude was a bit gruff because she was use to being with boys as that was who she had for friends. Kate has learned to hide her true nature much better than she did when she was younger, she learned to control her antics so that she wouldn't get caught or found out. She is becoming darker with each passing delve into the human body and her own personal research. She is an evil person.

 

 

2.2. What have been the most important, defining events in her life and how have they changed her? Separate the events to life before the Tower, life as novice and life as Accepted. Who are the people that have affected her life the most as Novice and as Accepted and how have they done that?

 

 

The most defining event in Kate's life before the Tower was her mother's death. Kate struck out early because of her mothers death, she wanted to find her own path to greatness for the Great Lord.

 

The most defining moment in Kate's life as a Novice was breaking the block, it taught her how to surrender her control when necessary. She is still controlling but she has learned when to let it be.

 

The most defining moment in Kate's life as an Accepted was her transition to the Yellow Ajah. The bar fight that lead her to decide to be Yellow and to enhance the killing power of the One Power over her knowledge of stratgey and tactics.

 

 

2.3. What are your character's weaknesses? Strengths? What is her inner struggle? What is her philosophy of life?

 

 

Kate's weakness is her inablitly to connect to people. She is unable to make friends, she doesn't want to. Her strengths is her eagerness to learn. She wants to know everything and persues her goals to no other end. Kate struggles with proving herself to the Great Lord and her deceased mother while following her own path with in the Tower, a place her mother despised by the end of her life and those that were the cause of her death to begin with. Kate's only motive in life is to serve the Great Lord.

 

 

 

2.4. What three words best describe your character's personality?

 

 

strategically evil murderer

 

 

 

Part 3 - The Role of an Aes Sedai

3.1. What do you think the role of an Aes Sedai is ICly?

 

 

The role of an Aes Sedai was drilled into them since the beginning - it is to serve all. In Kate's mind it is a means to an end to serve the Great Lord.

 

 

3.2. What has been the greatest sacrifice your character has made to become an Aes Sedai?

 

 

Kate sacrificed her family for a chance to learn to channel. She was close to her brother Aiden and their common friend Taylor. They are all she has left of the close family they had at the Ranch, she let them go their own ways so that she could do what she wanted to do.

 

 

3.3. How is your character going to Serve All?

 

 

I doubt Kate will serve all in the common sense. She will serve the Great Lord in whatever purpose he has for her.

 

 

3.4. What would you like your character to achieve? What are her ambitions in life? What kind of RP plans do you have in mind for your Sister?

 

 

Kate only wishes to serve the Great Lord and make her mother proud. I'm not sure where she's going after joining the Black Ajah.

 

 

3.5. How does your character feel about Warders in general and of the whole bonding?

 

 

Kate believes it is necessary for Aes Sedai to have a warrior at her side. To take a quote from The Sword of Truth, the steal against the steal. While she can defend her self with her own training it's hard to do that while doing what you should be doing with the One Power.
