I had really only known Alora for his Graphics skills up until the point that he applied for the CS Development Team. I have to say it was a pleasant surprise to see him tackle so much more than just graphical content for the project (though he was amazing in this regard). As a content creator, Alora was responsible for creating the original document and template for Species 2.0, penned/drafted innumerous individual species Feats, as well as the Species Bible that helps us track canon vs non canon Species, and who authored each respective addition. He created the main document formatting for the Feats 2.0 document that we worked out of and created 2 unique feats that were added to the system. Alora also worked with Viv with creating a time-scaling formula for the way that Force Powers would come to behave. On Force Powers 2.0 itself, he helped with the main document formatting, re-wrote the Farsight power, and other additional notes and feedback. For Venues 2.0, Alora had a hand in writing and revising 7 of them with my assistance.

Going beyond all of these contributions, where Alora really shined was giving CS 2.0 a needed visual flare. I outlined what I wanted done, and he delivered quicker than I ever thought possible. This amounted to creating an image template for Species “headshots” and 53 image-assets that could be used to give a visual to the Species we choose to represent our characters. Alora also created a filter based off my design that could be applied to each Venues images, and now our new venues all have cool vibrant images that add a sense of immersion that they all came from the same holo-type database.

Alora still continues to step up to tasks he feels he can assist with. He has been an invaluable asset to the CS Development team, all while running a Clan of Lighties.

Thanks a lot, Alora. I appreciate everything you do for us.
