💭 💜🩹 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.

Crew Headcanons: Jedi Consular Edition. Pt 1

- Nadia gets into trouble constantly for getting into everything.

-Qyzen is generally viewed by the others as a strange creature but a reliable guy.

-Courtesy of Zenith serval fights that could’ve been avoided were in fact escalated. Thanks to paranoia.

-Tharan is the number one cause of strife because of an addiction to playing the devils advocate.

-Felix is the voice of reason.

-Zenith has taken up pet sitting. Not one to just keep eye the animals, he actually does his best train said pets like they’re a K-9 unit. He’s very serious about it.

- Boardgames are competitive. Tharan was top dog but couldn’t resist sharing/bragging. So the others adopted his tactics and now Tharan has work to win.

- Zenith, Felix, and Qyzen spar and train together regularly. They also have shooting challenges.

-The guys all talk shop together about all things warfare (and tech).

-Everybody has time for Nadia. To teach her or talk to her.

- Tharan will do what he told but he does have running commentary about having to do it.

-Zenith and to lesser extent Felix are security nuts and are on everyone’s backsides to be vigilant.

-Qyzen and Felix are hunting buddies.

- Nadia and Felix can cook. So can Qyzen if like like meat. Zenith well he cooks but let’s say it tastes practical. Very practical and nutritious.

-Holiday the ship decorator no questions asked. She is also in charge of the crews schedules.

-Tharan is the most up to date on news and gossip because of Holiday.

A messy first draft of a Hound redesign. One hand is on backwards so we’ll ignore that. What this design does do, is bring together all elements I wanted. It just doesn’t integrate them, but hey what first drafts are for.

Here’s a squiggle of my Jedi Consular while I ramble.

The subject of today’s ramble has to do with the captured enemies that the consular either get handed over to the republic and or to the Jedi counsel.

Elvira does not spare these people out of a sense mercy, she spared them out a sense of justice.

She spares the life of her enemies and turns them into custody where they have all the tools they need to change their own lives if they so choose. The difficulty of reform is that it takes work. They have to put in the effort to use those tools and if they have no desire to change they’re stuck as a prisoner essentially. A prisoner of their own choices really.

To be clear these prisoners are treated well, but from Elvira grim understanding all you can do, is extend a hand and hope the other person extends theirs too. Sometime people don’t reach out their own even if she wanted it otherwise.

Y'know what screw it I'm here I'm thinking about SWTOR I wanna get out of my shell more SO. Uh. Art? I'm still nervous about sharing but ART! At 2:30am! I'm totally good at this social media thing. 🤣😭

Meet Vega's parents, my smuggler/chaos magnet Reilly Hawkins and the long-suffering extremely loyal Quil Kodral. I have a whooooooole backstory and it's complicated and not entirely fleshed out because I keep changing my mind and the hamster that runs the writing wheel in my brain won't FOCUS ON ONE THING FOR MORE THAN A WEEK C'MON MAN *cough* anyway. Childhood best friends that got separated in their teens, found each other again as adults and realized "hey I think I've actually been in love with you like my whole life", went on a whole crazy adventure together and decided "let's do this together forever". Quil becomes a spy for the Alliance and Reilly uses her status as the Voidhound/Port Nowhere's captain to help Hylo and the Alliance's smuggler fleet. I love them so much. Closeups under cut because Tumblr crunches my art a lot. Imma go sleep now see you in the morning. 🤣😭

If you see any vague resemblance between Quil's design and the Winter Soldier no you didn't and also I swear I didn't do it on purpose. I don't hate it though? Eh.

Quick doodle as I get back into the swing of things. Especially since I’m currently on limited time.

Character Interaction: Vette

To Vette, Crodek is very off putting, because he he values her and treats her with more dignity then she’s accustomed too. While still being very much a Sith and dangerous killing machine. Sure Crodek is decent enough to her but he hasn’t truly freed her.

This man bargained with Vette for her freedom and did give it to her. Only when on his ship where it’s assured that she has no where else to go.

Crodek very much considers Vette his property, so in his mind he wants to grow her as much as possible. This gives him a vested interest in her well being. Which was part of the reason he removed the slave collar with the other reason being a demonstration how he keeps his word.

Vette understandably feels stifled by this behavior. So she holds her ground by using jokes and commentary to point out the holes in his logic. This aggressive sort of verbal grappling does actually end developing both of them into more competent and sure individuals.

This dynamic of those will continue to unfold and perhaps Crodek may grow enough to fully give Vette her freedom. At the moment it seems unlikely that Crodek will romance Vette as they’re busy enough as frenemies.

Crodek Ger’Nok

Titles: Sith Lord,

Home Planet: Dromund Kaas

Age: ?

Backstory: His father Ragnarr was a Jedi knight before falling in love another Cathar, the lovely Nenasu. So Ragnarr renounced the Jedi and followed his passions to the dark side. Although he went on to become full Sith, Ragnarr’s Jedi ideals of duty, temperance, and community are still with him. Especially so in his family life as the father of a litter of five boys.

Fighting Style: Vengeance Juggernaut/?

Crodek favors the simplicity of single lightsaber as it allows him to focus on more what he can improve on while fighting.

Crodek is unsurprisingly for a Sith an adept user of form VII: Juyo. The sheer aggression that juyo expresses is powerful, but precisely directed and it can be stronger still. This is what Crodek’s measured light saber assault exemplifies.

He is despite his considerable bulk, Crodek is incredibly fast, leaping, and dashing around constantly. He has the reflex’s and senses of a cathar with the force pumping it all up to hundred.

Relationships:

Love Interest: none (at the moment)

Family: Ragnarr (father), Nenasu (mother), Tovah , Ryosh, Jarivan, Norik (all brothers).

Apprentices: Jaesa Willsaam

Best Friends: none

Friends: Vette (dubiously), Malavai Quinn, Pierce, Broonmark.

I find comedy to be an interesting way of developing a character, so this question is super delightful. Also the way you describe Zarsha’a humor as subtle has given me the realization that British comedy would perfect for the empire.

51% for Kaayden and one other of your choice.

Literally perfect for Kaaydan and I'll do another one for Zarsh'a, thanks for the ask!

Ask

51%. What kind of comedy does your character prefer? Toilet humor, vulgar, slapstick, morbid, etc.

Kaaydan: Sarcasm, mockery, self-enhancing, occasionally dark humor. Overall, typical smuggler humor lol!

Zarsh'a: Sarcasm and dry humor. Due to her Sith past, she kept a lot of the Empire's mannerisms, so her sense of humor is very subtle. People often don't realize when she's joking and just think she's rude.
