I made a little thing today.
Elvira and Qyzen’s relationship is characterized by a deep mutual respect. The Trandoshan Scorkeeper’s way of the hunt is quite different from the Jedi code. So Elvira learns how to be open and respectful of Qyzen beliefs while still staying true to the Jedi code.
Through Qyzen, Elvira sees that the way of the Scorekeeper isn’t all that different from the Jedi. Both codes treat life with a deep respect, both teach awareness of the environment, mind, and body. These are similarities that Elvia begins to uncover, further cements her this sense of kinship.
Qyzen’s loyalty isn’t something Elvira asked for, and it definitely isn’t something that she feels like she deserves. But she has it anyways, so now there is part of her that is trying give back some of what he gave her.
It this respect that binds them together, because of they grow from each other. Elvira now has a part of her that is a hunter. She also much more prepared to deal with incredibly different cultures because of first hand experience with Trandoshan culture.

Hello, I go by Fern. This blog is my creativity hub for writing, art, and poetry. As well as a place where I can share my original characters.
Because this blog operates an organizational hub what I’ve written may move around and change as I iron out details. So if something seems like it was different than before, it was. I just changed it.
For Tol'Raz: 🍝🤩😥
Tol’Raz’s favorite food would be space fast food. He’ll like food that makes him nostalgic such as any thing from Mek’sha or the wierd hodgepodge soup spacers put together out of their remaining rations.
He is definitely spontaneous throwing himself constantly into situations where he has to ride by the seat of is pants. For a more serious mission like sneaking into an enemy base he might memorize key some bullet points.
As his crew grows bigger he’ll learn some more organizational skills to be a good captain. But he’ll always be that guy that needs someone else to do most of the planning.
The thing Tol’Raz gets most stressed about is living up to his own expectations. He wants so badly to be the best Captain that he’d stress out about the little things that he’s afraid he isn’t doing well enough.
The other thing that would wig him out big time it big time would be meet someone idealizes. This really true if he has to work with them, he wants so badly to succeed, especially in front of them.
Tol’Raz wants to the guy that people can rely on. However his inexperience means that he has to suffer through doing the things that matter to him badly, until he gets better at.

The Galactic Standard Calendar is based on the luno-solar calendar of Coruscant (from before the official founding of the Empire). It is the ‘standard’ in both the Republic and the Empire for basic measurements. However, there are many, many variations for various species, planets, etc. This is just the ‘standard’ used; similar to measurements of weight, etc.
Basically, this is not the ‘only calendar’ but the one used most often by governments, the military, etc. to be the ‘standard’. I thought it might be useful for people writing or roleplaying in the Star Wars galaxies to have a rough idea.
NOTE: There is mention in some sources of a 12 month/368 day calendar, but it doesn’t mention length of weeks, months, etc. other than ‘30-31 days’ so basically seems to be a ‘real life calendar’. I’m not 100% sure which is considered ‘canon’ so I choose to list the one that was a bit more ‘different’ for fun.

💭 💜🩹 for the swtor OC of your choice!
Thanks for the ask!
^Very rough sketches of my OCs to give you something to imagine
💭 THOUGHT BALLOON — what is your oc's MBTI, enneagram, and/or other personality aspects (if known/interested in)?
I’m actually going to answer this for several swtor OCs- you know how I love 16 Personalities!
Aresyl (Sith Inquisitor) is an INTP-A: She’s very preserved and quietly inquisitive, always questioning both the galaxy around her and the abstract nature of it. In true INTP nature, she seems totally detached from the present, lost in her own head. She's also very spontaneous and doesn’t believe there’s much of a point in planning when her reality and goals are constantly shifting. However, being assertive (-A), Aresyl feels confident in her ability to navigate her adventurous mind and find the solutions she needs to.
Katynn (Imperial Agent) is an ISTP-T: She’s always restless to explore the galaxy and get her hands on new experiences. Katynn’s fiercely observant (S) and thinking (T), making her perfect for her imperial agent role. She’s able to examine the world around her and decode it with decisiveness. Katynn’s introverted (I) and turbulent (-T) nature manifest in her loner mentality- always straying from the norm either because she doesn’t care for rules or because she’s afraid of growing close to others.
Alykaa (Sith Warrior) is an ISTJ-T: she’s a firm proponent of tradition and upholding order. ISTJ’s easily accept the standards of their society, which is not a problem with a moral upbringing, but this just lead Alykaa on a path to becoming the ruthless and unforgiving Emperor's Wrath.
Hrafen (Sith Warrior) is an ENTP-A: he’s at constant debate with others (and sometimes himself, although not as much as Aresyl) but is unable to take any argument seriously. Although his constant questioning of others often seems brash, it comes from a place of deep unseriousness on his part since he sees all viewpoints as temporary. Being a constant contrarian, he could never trust any society to be worthy of conforming to, although he understands his deep need for community.
Kai (Smuggler) is an ESTP-A: He’s always looking for a new reckless adventure to share with good company. He has a kind of reckless, self-assured nature that could bring him to the top as fast as it could ruin him. Despite this, he remains purely rational and never lets person feelings get in the way of making the right decision.
Aura’dann (Jedi Counselor) is an ESTJ-T: Similarly to Alykaa, Aura’dann is a strong upholder of order and values. Aura’dann and Alykaa are kind of two sides of the same coin, but instead of growing up to be a ruthless sith, Aura’dann is a stark defendant of the republic. However, Aura’dann does not follow the Jedi blindly and instead follows the teachings of the Echani people she grew up with. She was never able to accept the Jedi’s strict rules and opted to keep to the rules she had already lived by. Aura’dann takes it upon herself to be a good example among the Jedi and to the republic with brutal honesty.
💜 PURPLE HEART — what is your oc's ancestry/genetic background?
I kind of talked about this already, but Aura’dann is Echani and grew up in a strong familial community until she joined the Jedi Order at 17. She felt the need to escape her home since she had a quarrelsome relationship with her family (Aura’dann has very strong opinions, which proved difficult when it came to making family compromises). Luckily, she has so much love for them that Aura’dann was able to keep in touch.
Alykaa is part of a strong bloodline of sith and her family is a defining aspect of her personhood. Her mother wasn’t present in her youth, but he father hammered in high expectations early in Alykaa’s life. She always felt the need to do her family proud and being a shining example among the sith order.
Hrafen, being a literal sith pureblood, obviously also has a strong family connection to the sith, yet is less bothered by it. In part due to his skeptical nature, he never felt the need to be chained to expectations. He doesn’t have much to do with his family- they weren’t a particularly nurturing bunch anyways.
🩹 ADHESIVE BANDAGE — does your oc have any physical and/or mental disabilities?
(I’m going to include mental illnesses/disorders here)
Katynn nearly lost her hearing completely on a mission early on in her career which involved a partner being reckless with explosives. Fortunately, Katynn was later able to pretty much restore her hearing to normal with the use of her cybernetic implants. Katynn also has borderline personality disorder (BPD), which includes having unstable moods, behaviors, and relationships. She has a lot of difficulty letting people in because of this.
Aresyl has inattentive ADHD, further contributing to her detached presence. Aresyl’s history as a slave is reflected in her struggles with PTSD and depression.
Aura’dann has chronic migraines, mostly because I have chronic migraines and need at least one character that can bear my pain with me.
Would love to answer some of these.
