The Brune Family
Davin Brune – Father: A stoic pilot with a quiet, emotionally restrained demeanor. Lioras admires him deeply but feels a constant distance between them. He craves his father's approval, though it's rarely expressed.
Mira Brune – Mother: Nurturing, resilient, and emotionally attuned. She serves as Lioras's emotional anchor. While she doesn't fully understand the depths of his inner world, she gives him everything she can—though even that might not be enough.
Jace Brune – Eldest Brother (around 18): Dependable and practical, but emotionally distant. Lioras looks up to him as a role model, yet often feels misunderstood and unseen in his presence.
Halric Brune – Middle Brother (around 14–15): Thoughtful and emotionally complex. Halric shares the closest bond with Lioras—there's a quiet understanding between them, a shared sensitivity. But even Halric can't fully grasp the real Lioras beneath the surface.
Lioras Brune – Youngest (around 13): Sensitive, introspective, and quietly brave. He is the emotional heart of the family—the one who feels and sees the most, yet remains the most silent. His inner world is vast, but rarely spoken aloud.

More Detailed Plans: (Subject To Change) (Dont Read As Its Spoilers but im just lazy i cant be bothered to put it anywhere else)
I plan for the main character to experience loss im not sure how much, but someone or all in his family will die at some point, after this i want him to become a pilot or a smuggler, i want to have him be struggling but show his genius that he has withheld for so long, i want him to grow, to make allies, to become strong, im not sure if he will get a happy ending or a sad one but it will be a long journey as we go through his childhood to adolecents to young adult to adult, to old all while in the era's of the clone wars, the rebels era, and the end of the empire/epilogue.
Chapters Structure:
Chapter 1: Diary (First Person POV, Inner thoughts that we cant showcase in third person)
Chapter 2: Third Person Limited Point of View (Lioras POV, Helps broaden the world around Lioras while still keeping it focused on him)
I think ill try to get more chapters of a third person view than first person just because i want each dairy to be him kinda ending that arc/storyline with what hes been feeling through those chapters but we will only find out after weve seen it happen.
