Meet Crodek Ger’nok

Note: Since my old masterlist is getting notes again (and I'm hosting @tbb-appreciation-week this year), I thought it's a good time to release a new version with a lot more resources. If any of you know another site or thing that it's missing from the list, let me know and I'll include it!! [Altho, I'm getting this close 🤏 to the hyperlinks limit on this thing 😆]

Note 2: To avoid tagging the 3 people from whom I got multiple resources repeatedly, I've placed 1-3 asterisks between square brackets after the links, depending on the OP. I give the respective credit to them in a legend at the end of the post.

The amazing @fox-trot, who not only makes astonishing art and write an amazing fic, she also responds to medical questions and gives all kinds of references for writing medic characters. Check her #medicposting tag and you'll find tons of information. Also check #star wars reference and her art tag while you're at it.

@writebetterstarwars, which seems to be inactive, but there are a bunch of references there.

@howtofightwrite The place to find out how to write a good fight scene.

@scriptmedic no longer active, but it has a great deal of useful information.

@scripttorture for your whump needs. Major trigger warning for all its content.

WRITING IN GENERAL (For those who don't want to die like Stormtroopers)

SlickWrite: Completely free; online. Checks grammar, punctuation, flow, and writing style according to different settings (including fiction writing).

ProWritingAid: [RECOMMENDED] One of the most thorough online proofreader I've ever used. Although when using a free account gives extremely thorough feedback, with +20 different in-depth reports, for only the first 500 words. However, you can earn a premium account license (for a year or for life) if you get 10 or 20 new users signing up for free; (if you wouldn't mind doing so using the link above and help me earn mine, please). The settings allow you to check your writing according to your needs, from general to formal to creative. It has a bonus that you can check depending on the genre you're writing. For example, in creative, you can choose romance or sci-fiction (there are 14 sub-genre in total). And just like google docs, you can share a document, and people can view, comment or edit it too.

LanguageTool: [RECOMMENDED] Another excellent proofreader. It also has a word limit in free accounts, but if you use the add-on for Google Docs, it counts each page as a new document, so hitting the word limit is nearly impossible. It helps you to rewrite a sentence (3 a day), even if it doesn't raise any flags; it's very useful for when your sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn't feel quite right.

Grammarly, Hemingway Editor: No so great, but they do the basic job.

Turned out good!

SWTOR OC sketches! Pt.3

I've got 3 sketches freshly out of the oven! I drew @nekorinnie's best birb Evo, @catohphm's sweet guy Fernie and @blackberry-command-cap's hippie smuggler Shae'zena!

Evo was truly amazing to draw, I've always wanted to draw him in his Asizi (original @nekorinnie's species) form and I'm really proud of this drawing! I really like Fernie, I think he's a cutie patootie so I'm really happy how he turned out c:! Also, a hippie smuggler? I just had to draw her lol.

Again, if y'all want to color these sketches feel free to do so just be sure to not alter the original drawing (like tracing, removing the signature, etc.) and to give credit! Also if you want the uncompressed file dm me!

Part. 1 & Part. 2

SWTOR Ages of the Companions

I search for these often. So it might be helpful to have them in a single document. I don’t know if it is stated somewhere, but I myself interpret the ages as those the companions have when you first meet them.

These are the ages as stated by the SWTOR Encyclopedia:

Trooper Aric Jorgan           30 Elara Dorne          26 Tanno Vik              34 (enlistment records suspected of falsification) Yuun                     28 M1-4X                     -

Jedi Knight Fideltin Rusk          40 Lord Scourge       300+ Kira Carsen            20 Doc                         28 T7-01                   200+ years in service

Jedi Consular Felix Iresso              31 Nadia Grell              22 Zenith                      36 Tharan Cedrax        29 Qyzen Fess             unknown (claims to be middle-aged)

Imperial Agent Vector Hyllus            26 Scorpio                     age of programming unknown, current chassis  < 5 Raina Temple           24 Kaliyo Djannis          29 (unconfirmed) Eckard Lokin            65 (unconfirmed)

Sith Warrior Pierce                       29 Jaesa Willsaam        21 Broonmark                unknown Malavai Quinn           37 Vette                          21

Sith Inquisitor Khem Val                 2000+ Andronikos Revel        35 (unconfirmed) Ashara Zavros             20 Talos Drellik                 27 Xalek                           24

Smuggler Akaavi Spar                  28 Bowdaar                     197 Corso Riggs                 22 Risha                            21 Languss “Guss” Tuno   33

Bounty Hunter Blizz                              indeterminate Skadge                         37 Gault Rennow              54 Torian Cadera              18 Mako                            19

I’m really enjoying this look for Crodek, I plan to refine it the future, but dang he does look good in hoods. Catnan doesn’t need a mask when he’s got this face.

Commission for the lovely @swtorpadawan 

SWTOR OCs Infodump (pt I)

I wanted to introduce 4 of my swtor ocs- more aliens coming after I finalize the character designs! Feel free to skip around and read whatever is interesting to you and let me know if there's anything you'd be interested to hear more about <3

Under the cut:

My Echani Cousular Aura'dann

My Smuggler Kai

My Sith Warriors Alykaa (canon) and Hrafen (side OC; not part of class stories)

+little sketches of each <3

Aura’dann (Jedi Consular)- Aura’dann grew up with her Echani, who gave her values of passion and justice. She carried these values into her time as a Jedi when she joined the order at 17. When she left for Tython, she had already been practicing and learning from the force on her own. Aura used her force abilities to become a great, if unconventional, fighter in her community. Among the Echani, combat was a near-sacred art, making Aura’s accomplishments all the more esteemed. Despite all this, Aura had a thirst for more and knew she had plenty of untapped potential outside of what she could teach herself.

As a Jedi, Aura’dann could often forget that the force was more than a tool for her to hone. She always struggled to focus inward and sense the spiritual workings around her, which sometimes left her feeling out of place among her Jedi peers. Aura is also visionary at heart, and craves to serve the Republic and strives to be a shining example for the Jedi.

Kai (Smuggler) is honestly a little doofus. A little himbo goofball, if you will. Upon contact it wouldn't seem he has much to offer, but truthfully Kai is very cunning and will find a creative way out of any predicament. He's always ready for a challenge and can hardly be stopped once he has his eyes set on a goal.

Behind his eccentric personality, Kai really does have a heart of gold. Kai is a strong extravert and will do everything he can to uplift the spirits of others. He's loud and flamboyant and the life of the party. 

To be honest I don’t really have any kind of crazy backstory for him; Kai just exists to be my little goober man and to live out my platinum-blond shag dreams for me.

Alykaa (Sith Warrior)- After Alykaa’s mother passed, she was destined to be her family’s only child. She was part of a kind of Sith royalty, her family legacy having strong influence in the Empire’s affairs. Being the only child that could maintain respect for the family, the responsibility that Alykaa carried was clear from a young age. Her single father, although barely involved in her upbringing, made sure Alykaa knew she had to succeed.

Alykaa grew to be a fierce warrior, with an unmistakably fiery essence. Desperate to prove herself, Alykaa was put on a pedestal from a young age, being a poster child for the perfect imperial. She was always a strong patriot and held her devotion to the empire second only to her family.

Alykaa is ruthless and unforgiving, especially if someone is in her way or acts against her values. For this reason, she fit perfectly into the role of emperor’s wrath and served as a formidable force against those who stood in the empire’s way. This is also the reason why things… didn’t work out with Malavai Quinn. She was uncertain she could ever find a worthy partner. That is, until she met Hrafen who effortlessly shattered her understanding of the galaxy. There was something about his indifference that compelled her. Hrafen was so unimpressed with her power, it should have been infuriating. But there was also a kind of understanding in Hrafen, that Alykaa couldn’t shake. He was able to see untouched parts of her with such casualty, being the first to truly see who she was.

Hrafen (non-canon Sith Warrior) is known for being totally unserious. He can never seem to accept or trust any authority and was known to wander on his own unconventional path. Relentlessly speculative, Hrafen questions everyone and everything, which turns a lot of people off to him. This proves to be a good filter to finding like-minded people, however, and when Hrafen meets someone who he can have respectful debate/conversation with, he is quick to call that person friend. Despite his off-putting demeanor, Hrafen is a big people-person and has a genuine fascination with people and understanding how they work. Hrafen ends up collecting a peculiar crowd of people who are willing to question the Empire’s authority. 

Similar to Alykaa, Hrafen’s family had strong connections in the Sith Empire, although the expectations were never so strong. While Alykaa had it hammered into her mind that she needed to support and honor her family, Hrafen’s family was never so desperate. Being sith purebloods, they already had an inherent and effortless leg up in society.

This is some serious food for thought.

ya know, chapter one of the Jedi Consular story is actually really sad if you take a lightside path. You have this character who barely gets to be a knight before it’s rushing off and their Masters life is suddenly in their hands and then before they really have time to process that, it’s off to save other Jedi because they are the only one who knows how to save them. The next months are spent fighting your own people who mock, and belittle, and insult you, and your just constantly reaching out and trying and  and it’s not meant honestly because they’re sick but I mean that’s going to wear on a person after a bit, especially a young Jedi who may not even be fully sure of their place in the order yet.
