Blog Intro

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.

'Out. Of. My. Classroom.'

This one has been sitting in my drafts for a hot minute before I figured out the colors. I wanted to draw a big ✨cape✨ on Snape. He's also very done with the Potter spawn.

Oc asks game. Answer two randomized questions from this nifty generator.

Answering these for Crodek.

Yes as a Sith he seen too much to not believe in it. Especially since the Sith tend to get into the really weird side of the force. Crodek has mixed feelings about this and developed the belief that the edges of force can be very very dangerous. To his eyes following the wrong paths can make a person mad. So he believes in the paranormal, but isn’t the type explore the paranormal since he treats it with great caution. He’ll stick to praying in his garden and drinking tea. To safe and regulated side of the unknown.

He treats the force a little closer to how Jedi do. By interacting with respect and a bit of awe. So he sticks to his sensible and quiet meditative ways because he believes that this the right way to go about interacting in the force. He not particularly empathic person so he doesn’t much sympathy for the Sith that he sees go mad and just endeavors not repeat their mistakes.

He absolutely would, he is naturally a stoic person a believes completely in leading by example. Projecting strength and calm during a crisis to anchor his crew. Is just what a good leader does. If he gets injured he’ll be the last to attend to his own injuries, cause the crisis and crew come first. If it is a severe injury he may discretely use the force to knit his own body together enough to keep going. If he’s teetering on the edge of a breakdown he’ll just reel it in until he is in complete privacy to process it.

He not exactly powering blindly through things he is just regulating the feelings and self care to a what he considers a more appropriate moments. Essentially he is the type to set a timer for fifteen minutes cry it all out and then go back to normal once the timer rings.

Brovan Mahen

Titles: Padawan, Jedi Knight

Home Planet: Corusant

Race: Mixed race mostly Iridonian Zabrak with some Human mixed in.

Age: ?

Height: 6'3

About: Gentle and understanding Brovan is burdened by the will of the force to oppose the emperor. He gives this task his full effort but he always carries this unshakeable sadness that prevents him from feeling much in the way of happiness.

Background: He was taken as toddler from his family home to live on Corusant to their local Jedi temple. He was there for the sacking of the temple of Corusant which left rather terrible burn scar on his face.

He enjoyed a peaceful existence in the Heliost Clan. Where he studied history, the force and literature voraciously. Brovan also treasured all the clans visits to other places and cultures for learning. His simple love of studying meant he that fully intended on being a temple guard. However a repetitive and agitating force vision had him running to an elder. With clear mind but uncertain heart, he concluded that the best way to heed this vision was to change course and pursue the path of a knight instead.

Fighting Style: Jedi Guardian/ Either sage or sorcerer depending on future.

Combat is considered grave duty and necessity by Brovan. He never held much of interest in combat as a pursuit. He does excellent grasp of the jedi fundamentals that is deeply ingrained, which allows him to hold his own against much better blades men than himself. Just as ingrained his flow of the force with flows through as the he possessed and one and the same with the force.

As firm anchoring as he is as a warrior. Brovan is very reluctant to kill almost as much he is to fight. He mourns even necessary deaths, if its not over having to kill them, it will be for the path his enemy has lead to has lead to being destroyed.

Skills & Hobbies:

-Archeology. He loves geology, touching, seeing all the stories and history. Each stone, fragment and artifact tell so him so much. Some of the pleasure he find in this pursuit is definitely from what force tells him.

-Treasure hunting

-Artifice.

Relationships:

Love Interest: none (probably at all we'll see)

Family: Venkoh (older brother)

Padawan:

Best Friends: T7 and Kira

Friends: Elvira Gwandarae

Crodek Ger’Nok

Titles: Sith Lord,

Home Planet: Dromund Kaas

Age: ?

Race: Cathar. He is the heightened senses and emotion are a fun part of experience to explore. Crodek is very comfortable and even masterful with using his heightened flowing it the effortless in combats and daily life situations.

He is considerably less comfortable experiencing the intense emotions that is Cathar a prone to. This discomfort with emotion plays intimately important role in how he interacts with the force and the Sith Code.

Height: 6'1

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.

Crodek deeply admires his father, and sees him as model sith. Which lead to some of Crodek's more unorthodox sith behavior such as morning meditation. Something that is innate to him is his desire for honor in all things, especially combat.

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 sort of like a determined unstoppable force to fight against that doesn't show signs of stopping.

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

The Force: To Crodek the force is much deeper than he understands so he treats it with great respect and plenty of caution. He experience the force very bodily, like an extension of himself. The force his present in the thrum of adrenaline, the edges of his senses, in the depth of his inner most feelings. He can sense its presence almost entirely in himself and sometime as his environment.

He has basically no ability to sense the forces presence in others. Which leave Crodek's with terrifying blindness into fellow Sith and Jedi rivals. He sort of covers this lack of valuable insight an unshakable stoicism, and treats all with the exact same respect.

So Crodek has a pretty exact idea of what going on in his own body, which extends to a pinpoint level of control. So is very good self healing, controlling his own perception of temperature (learned on Hoth) and pain, as well as just broadening his physical limits.

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: He doesn't actually make friends very easily. This because his definition of friendship rather narrow. When he does consider someone his friend, its because he sees himself as already bound to them.

People I’d like to Know Better

Thank you for the tag @per-astraea

Last Book: Have not read proper book in awhile though I recently got The Analects of Confucius, in part to prepare for my brain for college. But also cause I curious as to what Confucius actually taught for him to have left such a mark on Chinese history. He the a big reason that government officials started being considered by their personal merit which was decidedly not a value that was in place before him.

Last Song: Emperor’s Clothes by Jann been on big Jann binge lately. In part cause of how he weaves lyrics and messaging. But also because it’s giving me ton’s of Sith inquisitor inspiration. The struggles of become Sith aren’t that different from the struggles of being a rising star in show biz, very similar pressures. Would recommend.

Last Movie: I think I rewatched the most recent mission impossible movie while visiting my Fiancés family. Definitely something I’m always happy to rewatch big fan of the mission impossible movies. One the few movie series that actually gets better as it goes on.

Last Series: I recently relistened to the Bartimaeus Audiobooks while sick in bed. It’s really comforting be immersed in something so comfortingly familiar and funny. Made that unfortunate week better.

Salty or Sweet: Salty It’s been my preference since I was very small.

Coffee or Tea: Definitely tea, coffee is very rare drink for me, though I absolutely love how it smells. Sadly when one’s primary motivating emotion is agitation, having said agitation hopped on caffeine is viscerally uncomfortable sensation.

Working On: Just writing more in general in doesn’t matter as much what I write as long as do and build the habit. Current project is Swtor oneshot for Crodek, song lyrics for an my original story (though these lyrics are more poetry that music, I haven’t found a musician to juice brains with yet so give me some grace), I actually only recently discovered I can write music at all it’s that been very exciting.

Still it doesn’t matter how talented I am with words if I’m not able to just flow them out when I desperately want to. I was literally in therapy this week uncomfortably digging out the deep sorrow my soul carries around about not writing. It’s genuinely painful for me not to do so, yet that doesn’t make it easier to for me to do. *shakes arms furiously*

Reblog if you’re OK with people sending you asks about your OCs, ‘sonas or even about yourself

[loredragonoftheforgottenrealms]

I like the last bit of acknowledgement that many drow are a lot more reserved when it comes to choosing romantic and sexual partners than some surface dwellers would assume. It adds more depth and possibilities to Drow interacting with the surface world’s preconceived notions about who they are as people.

[fernfrond-inks]

how do each of your OCs feel about their height? Do they wish they were a different height? What, in their opinion, is the best and worst part of being their particular height?

Elvira is short a 5'4ish, she likes her height. She finds that there is a lot of advantage to being small. She has 'memories' of her Jedi Clan mate reaching things off of the high shelves and teasing her for it, frequently. Needless to say she was very motivated to learn how to force lift to stop her torment.

Crodek is fairly indifferent to his height at 6'1. He was always the second biggest in the litter, cause Tovah sucked all of the nutrients out of the womb to become the himbo he is today. He does make use of his height to occasionally loom for intimidation purposes, he just doesn't mentally think of himself as tall.

Brovan however is tall, broad, and soft (6'3, maybe?). He does sometimes worry that others might find him intimidating and tries not to loom. In general he tries to very considerate of others, and their space and comfort.

Venkoh is more juiced and bulky than Brovan (6'5ish?). He has always felt awkward in his height and is much more anxious about others finding him scary. He does appreciate the respect his size gets him from his peers and enemies. Ven's just never felt comfortable in his own skin.

Caelus is very short (5'3) but built and well proportioned and very deadly. He is dislikes being short and not being taken seriously. But above all he hates being a small pretty echani. So be grew mustache, graveled his voice, and carries himself boldly and has had no issues with people taking him seriously since.

Karka is not only small but down right weedy, especially for a (half) Zabrak. Overall he finds it useful to be underestimated. Karka pretty good at covering his own physical weakness, and weaknesses in general actually. He is also very good at making the best of what he's got and using other. Dude's a schemer, so look out.

Small spoiler for future agent is that his height dead average at 5'6ish.

[fernfrond-inks]

Tol'raz's bio mentioned that he had two best friends. Do you have any details on them? Names, backgrounds? What was their dynamic like?

He does one is his Captain of their old ship a heroic Indiana Jones sort of leader. Not sure on his race? But the dude was rugged sort of ex-jedi sort who is proficient with the force to some degree. Tol'Raz deeply admired him and really wanted to be like this dude, tragically I do not have name for the guy beyond Captain.

His other best friend is pink togruta with skill set in the decidedly special operative vain. She is a fierce and deadly hunter. This juxtapositions to other side her that genuinely loves to nurture and teach. Despite being a warrior and member of a mercenary crew, her peaceful dream life would be to teach kids. She is older and more mature than Tol'Raz and was his first crush.

Tragically for Tol'Raz his best freind and crush started dating and his best guy friend the Captain. So bro got third wheeled by his two most favorite people and had to watch them be terribly in-love with each other.

This is the foundation of all hope btw. In the words of Tolkien, 'despair is for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.'

I used to have a separate post like this but it's been years, so I'm making a new one.

I've been hunting down tag games to steal and bring into this particular circle of Tumblr. Just because I haven't done any in a WHILE. And I'm gonna want people to tag.

SO, if you're down to be tagged by me in these games, leave a like/reblog and I'll make sure you're included.

Sex scene as character study is so good. What is your relationship to your body? What is your relationship to your partner? What lessons have you absorbed from the culture about yourself as a sexual being? How much do you have to trust someone before being comfortable with intimacy? What fears and insecurities come to the fore for you when you take your clothes off? It's so good.

Y’know now feels like a great time to remind everybody that canonically Cather are born in litters!
