The Taste Of Stale Ink

💭 💜🩹 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.

36% for the oc (or ocs) of your choice!

If you’re oc had to live the rest of their life perpetually angry, sad, or frightened which would they choose?

Answering for Crodek and Tol’Raz

Crodek

Anger is considered an acceptable Sith emotion but Crodek doesn’t like being angry even though it he is strongest when angry (the force draws on anger). What he doesn’t like about it is the lack of control that comes with it. Crodek wants to direct his own body,thank you very much.

He experienced enough fear in childhood and at Korriban to realize how debilitating it is, so he does’t want that. Which means that Crodek pick sadness. Though this choice is really because of his lack of experience being sad. Poor man thinks this would impact him least.

Tol’Raz

Strangely enough he’d pick being perpetually afraid. All through growing up til present day his life has been nothing but unpredictable and frightening.

Fear is something he’s had experience with, he can handle always being afraid.

This is my attempt at bringing Hot Rod to life.

A Felix Iresso sketch.

it's been a minute since i did a kadmus' dromund kaas apartment tour and it's gotten a lot of updates since the last one bc i take crafting in swtor seriously now and i'm almost finished with it!

Very cool

Maverik'a || Action Figure

I commissioned a few months back this action figure of Maverik'a and there she is! Huge props to Old Architect Customs for building her, who's also been nothing but super kind and patient c: If y'all want your Star Wars OCs made into action figures, hit him up on IG! Just keep in mind these take a lot of time and effort.

More pictures of the photoshoot below lol >>>

bonus: Maverik'a angry at Shae (we all know why)

*Holds up like a proud parent,* -This is my boy,, this one is mine-,, you may have seen him running around over here,, don’t mind him- he’s on break <33

His name is Zephyr ✨- [and this is the most solid reference I’ve got of him,, see inconsistent references below <33]

And now??? Introducing a passionate rant about the big brother esc goofball no one has seen yet

[passionate rant below cut]

Essentially, what I’ve got going so far is Zephyr used to be a renowned competitive racer before the war back on Cybertron, he lived for the tracks and often received citations for speed racing through civilian streets. That was until his street friend caught wind of a race academy located somewhere near Iacon where they could both learn how to compete professionally

They both entered and on their first official race someone ended up wiping out, bad, so Zeph dropped back to help em out and they gained a third friend that day

As a young upstart Zephyr began gaining some crazy popularity, blissfully [intentionally??] ignorant of the state of the government. [kinda the same mentality as the phrase, “If I can’t see it? Then it doesn’t exist ✨”]. That is, until one day he wiped out on the track, even worse than was considered possible at the time, and he got sent into a coma before the war officially started.

During his time in stasis, Zeph’s friends had a huge argument about the morality of the war and ended up choosing different sides of the fight before they could reconcile. Only one of them openly appeared to hold onto the hope that Zephyr was going to recover [though they both secretly visited after their fight anyways] His first friend later decided that the hospital, the stasis that would never end, the loss of both his friends, was too much for him and he effectively ejected Zephyr from the hospital as an act of mercy, so fate might deal with him as it pleased.

Zephyr woke up from stasis years later after the pod he was being housed in got blown up and some dormant fear based adrenaline kicked in.

What began as a blissfully ignorant coping skill, after running into some friendly [neutral] wanderers, Zeph continued his race training,, determined to compete the second the war essentially “fixed itself” [even tho his engines haven’t been running quite right ever since his wake from stasis] but over time, he trained less and less as the inpermanence of his dream began to set in

He had some misadventures and those lead me to where he is now,, stuck in a war, no idea what’s going on, trying to find his two original friends, both of whom he doesn’t know hate each other 😌🫶

[and once he does- he founds a secret faction, dedicated to drawing neutral territory between bots and cons after he got his friends back together/ and everything was good for a bit until one very bad day, his faction got exposed and practically everyone he had instilled hope into got ripped to shreds- [including one of his friends[they died]]]

He wanders around kinda aimlessly nowadays as a husk of who he once wanted to be. His only friend rejoined the Autobots. -And he gave up any hope for peace ever :D👍

… until-

Wip Whenever

This is for @reigrace-keyboardjam’s challenge.

All this fics are multifandom writing wips, because itjrir multifadom I did a bit of explaining, so the vision could still seem and enjoyed even if it’s a foreign fandom.

[Unnamed My Hero Academia (mha) piece]

This is a crack fic from the perspective Detective Naomasa who meets the villain Mr Compress at a grocery store. The thing is Naomasa has a super power to detect the truth when people lie. So when he meets suave undercover Compress buying… er stealing for his villain friends, things… get out of hand.

Especially when Naomasa learn that the man is lying about having a daughter, being a police officer Naomasa assumes the worst and trying to arrest. They end up handcuffed together with cuffs that cancel out their superpowers. Naomasa is unable to detect truth while attached to a proven lier. So now they have to work together to get the handcuffs off. Who knows maybe an unlikely friendship will occur.

Know how or idea why I came this story idea but the brain worms won’t go away.

(Beneath the Aragon Sea a transformers fic)

This story is a coming of age story that centers around a young Hot Rod. Who returns to his war ravaged planet Cybertron with the autobots only to get captured by Quintesson invaders, who are capturing both autobot and their enemy decepticons for slave.

Through an accident Hot Rod absorbs the matrix of leadership, this gets noticed by Soundwave takes him and they escape. So Hot Rod finds himself pretending to be leader while he tries to return the matrix to its rightful owner Optimus Prime, which means going back to where they escaped from.

So stuck with a powerful enemy Hot Rod from collects fellow survivors like Pokemon. Which be good thing if he didn’t have to lead them through the bowls of a planet that is very much alive (survival with slight horror). Many of these people also don’t like each other so his work is cut for him.

This fic has two chapters already published. It is also a glorified excuse to write about my favorite, action adventure and describe cool metal planet scenery as well as worldbuild to my heart desire.

(Wind Bound Embers a genshin fanfic)

This one features Detective Heizou who decides to take an unexpected vacation to a foreign nation. Which is really an excuses to investigate a shady or Giza toon known as the Fatui at their hotspot.

However he not the only foreigner investing fatui activities, as the Dark Hero (basically Batman) turns up as well. They get all in each other way over their rivaling investigations and shenanigans ensue.

Bruh writing out my wipes like this made me realize have a thing character development through comedic High-jinks 🤣 I blame you Rei.

(Unnamed Starwar Old Republic Fic)

Would like to write a 5-6 chapter fic where each chapter focus a my Jedi Consolars relationship with each of her class companions.

I plan to write more Swtor stuff in the future when I’ve fleshed out my legacy more. So that I have better sense of how the pieces fit together. So sitting on my hands for now.

Thank you for the challenge!
