Space Dust

Deklan Jasra
Having had a major nostalgia trip down memory lane recently that raced me through the entire Mass Effect franchise, slammed me body and soul into Kaidan Alenko and then crashed me heart first into Carth Onasi - Raphael Sbarge's voice has a lot to answer for - it seemed somehow fitting to revisit Deklan Jasra.
Aaaall the way back in 2003, following a play-through of one of my all time favorite games 'Knights of the old republic', Deklan was the result of my mighty need to create a character of my own who could hang out in a Star Wars universe and possibly make things float through sheer force of will ;-) But it wasn't until 2005 that he finally found a face via the stand in for Obi-Wan Kenobi in the 'making of' footage from 'Phantom Menace'. It was my first encounter with awesome actor Marc Warren and he has been my template for Deklan ever since.
Mr Warren, I would like thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you are and the tremendous inspiration you continue to be. You rock!
We've come a long way since 2005, Deklan and I. And I still love him as much as I did the day I created him. My original older brother. <3
