''Ayelet Kadosh is a PNPC created by [[User:TZhou|the writer]] for Tenzin Zhou/Charles Sampi. Ayelet is now one of my favorite characters to write for and a major reason I eventually created a new main player character (PC). Ironic, then, that she was really meant to be only a minor side character for a mission-specific PNPC, namely [[Bakari, Msafiri|Msafiri Bakari]]. However, as often shown in simming, the best laid plans had best be flexible.'' | ''Ayelet Kadosh is a PNPC created by [[User:TZhou|the writer]] for Tenzin Zhou/Charles Sampi.

In short, it was becoming less fun to write for him. Sure, there was the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SB118-Independence/message/18443 occasional oddball moment], but in general, he had become so serious, that I needed a different outlet. Enter Msafiri. Writing a character who from the start didn't like the rest of the ''Independence'' crew immediately brought an interesting perspective to the SB118 universe I had been simming in for the past several months. However, Msafiri's temper needed a counterweight lest he become just a stock antagonistic non-villain (i.e. a jerk). Thus, I created a loyal friend for him in Ayelet. If readers felt she was a friendly, good, and optimistic character, then by extension, they would feel there must be something more to Msafiri since she considers him a close friend.'' | ||
''When the nature of the mission suddenly changed, taking the ''Independence'' away from DS17, I decided I didn't want to completely abandon the set of new characters I had created on the station. Thus, I had Ayelet join the ''Independence''. Something different happened though once I took away from DS17. She suddenly was the outsider, and I felt disappointed that she seemed to have lost the spirit I had originally intended for her. Part of that was perhaps the fault of her abduction by the FTU pirates, which at least initially seemed to place the character in a weak position. Still, I'm still pleased with how the story turned out, writing mainly with [[User:Eyas Wtine|the writer]] for W'tine/FTU pirate Avro Hawker.'' | ''When the nature of the mission suddenly changed, taking the ''Independence'' away from DS17, I decided I didn't want to completely abandon the set of new characters I had created on the station.
