» ABOUT
Kornell "Uli" Divini is a 19-year-old human male born on the desert planet Tatooine. He appears in the second of the two Medstar novels in the old Star Wars EU after being conscripted into the Grand Army of the Republic to serve at a Republic Mobile Surgical Unit - the Star Wars universe's M*A*S*H. He's the son of one of the scientific community's best-known entomologists, Elana Divini, who curated the largest collection of flare-wing insects in the galaxy, and a physician from a line of doctors stretching back to his great-grandfather.

Uli himself is a prodigy—one of the youngest doctors to ever graduate from Coruscant Med, and with honors—but is shown to be generally humble despite this. He's not really at ease with his rank and doesn't come from a military family, nor does he particularly like to be addressed by the title of 'Doctor', despite having earned it - so he asks most people to call him 'Uli', the name he's gone by most of his life, derived from the Tusken word uli-ah, meaning 'kid'.

Uli's pretty mature for his age, in part because he's used to most of his peers being older than him, but he's still going through a lot developmentally and trying to reconcile his anger with the people who started the war with his desire to help the injured and his need to see himself as a healer. I play him at the end of Medstar's narrative, by which point he's not a fan of Palpatine and his liberal bent has become a lot more liberal than it was at the start of the war. Uli sees the clones as individuals to a degree that even a lot of the more considerate commanders don't, and he's pretty culturally knowledgeable thanks to both a curious nature and ample exposure through internship/residency at the galaxy's foremost interspecies hospital. He thinks of the Tuskens in a more neutral/positive light than seems to be the galactic consensus.

By the end of the novel he's shown to be either "in love with or infatuated with" Barriss Offee, and it's hinted that the feeling's mutual. Though in his next appearance in the EU ~20 years later in Death Star he states that he's not sure which it was, I write him as having been genuinely in love with her based on the way the original novel's written/the fact that he still routinely thinks about her two decades after her death and never marries or has another romantic interest.

» PERMISSIONS

Uli comes with major warnings for graphic violence/gore along the same vein that his source material provides - Medstar is a little more grisly than Star Wars films; I'd put it on the same general violence level as things like Saving Private Ryan and Full Metal Jacket.

➞ BACKTAGGING: Yes.
➞ THREADHOPPING: No.
➞ FOURTHWALLING: No.
➞ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS / TRIGGERS: Eye/nail trauma and tornadoes are gonna be a nope for me, chief

➞ HUGGING THIS CHARACTER: Go for it! He might be a little confused but he won't be upset by it.
➞ KISSING THIS CHARACTER: With proper buildup he'll respond just fine.
➞ FLIRTING WITH THIS CHARACTER: Yes, and he'll probably flirt back if the party in question is female. If they're male or nonbinary, he'll feign ignorance until it's clear that he's not interested, but he won't be upset by it - just flattered and a little awkward.
➞ FIGHTING WITH THIS CHARACTER: I'm not big on action threads but I'm open to it if it comes up naturally. It's likely to be short lived, though - Uli's pretty skinny and he's not combat trained.
➞ INJURING THIS CHARACTER: With discussion!
➞ KILLING THIS CHARACTER: No.
➞ USING TELEPATHY/MIND READING ABILITIES ON THIS CHARACTER: Yes, but if it's something like the Jedi mind trick, prior discussion is a must.
