Biography:

Corran Horn was born on Corellia in 18 BBY (Before Battle of Yavin- Episode IV, A New Hope) to Hal and Nyche. His dad, Hal Horn was an outstanding Corellian Security (CorSec- space police for Corellia) agent who caught famed smuggler Booster Terrik and sent him away to perform hard labor in the spice mines of Kessel. Corran followed in his father’s footsteps and joined CorSec.

However, tragedy struck when the bounty hunter Bossk gunned down Hal before Corran’s eyes. The Imperial liaison officer to Corellia, Kirtan Loor, let the Trandoshan bounty hunter off without any charges. Corran, along with colleagues Iella Wessiri and Gil Bastra, grew to loathe Kirtan and plotted to leave CorSec. They escaped and took on a variety of cover identities created by Gil Bastra through the Galaxy.

In 6 ABY, Corran joined Rogue Squadron, an elite unit of X Wings in the New Republic. However, he was captured by Imperial warlord and Director of Intelligence Ysanne Isard aboard the Super Star Destroyer Luskanya, where she attempted to brainwash him. However, Corran escaped “Iceheart” and learned that his grandfather was a Jedi by the name of Nejaa Halcyon. He fought with Rogue Squadron on Thyferra to defeat Isard. After the battle, he married smuggler Mirax Terrik, daughter of Booster Terrik, much to her father’s disappointment. (X-wing 1-4)

Corran continued serving on Rogue Squadron until 11 ABY, when his wife was kidnapped. Corran joined Luke Skywalker’s New Jedi Academy under the name Kieran Halyco on Yavin IV in order to harness his Force-sensitive heritage and rescue his wife. He infiltrated the Invids pirate gang and saved Mirax from the clutches of the promiscuous leader Leonia Tavira. (I, Jedi)

Corran became a skilled Jedi knight and duelist. He fathered two children, Valin and Jysella. During the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion, he fought on the front lines, especially at Ithor. In 25 ABY, He fought Vong commander Shedao Shai over the fate of the peaceful jungle world and won, but the Vong devastated the planet anyway and left Corran frustrated. (Dark Tide)

Corran helped end the war in 30 ABY by finding Zonama Sekot and became a Jedi Master. In 43 ABY, a mysterious madness began afflicted young Jedi knights, including Corran’s children. The Daala administration of the Galactic Alliance detained these rogue Jedi in carbonite. Corran and Mirax pushed for the release of the Jedi prisoners and they were healed with the defeat of Abeloth. (Fate of the Jedi)

Abilities:

Ace Pilot- Corran was the first or second best pilot in Rogue Squadron, the New Republic’s finest starfighter unit. He managed to win the impossible Korelov training scenario, even beating XO Tycho Celchu. He flew X Wings since his CorSec days and managed to fly at least once a week under his cover identities. He was frequently compared to Luke Skywalker. He also flew a Z-95 Headhunter, E-wing fighter, and TIE Defender. These skills were enhanced with Jedi training.

Energy Absorption and Redirection- One of the Halcyon line’s special abilities, Corran can redirect many forms of energy, including heat and explosions, into a concentrated beam or telekinesis. He has also used his ability to generate a shield around himself. Theoretically, he could stop a blaster bolt or a lightsaber blade with his bare hand and make himself stronger.

Indomitable Will- Corran resisted brainwashing at Luskanya despite torture and drugs. When Luke tried probing Corran’s mind before training, he was blocked at every turn. On Yavin IV, Corran rejected the Sith spirit of Exar Kun, who possessed two of the academy’s most gifted students.

Force Illusion- the other gift of the Halcyon line, Corran can implant images in other’s minds. During his Jedi training, he convinced his classmates that he lifted a massive boulder, garnishing their praise for the alleged feat. He was able to calm a possessed Ganner Rhysode by making a room appear empty. During his time with the Invids, he regularly used Force Illusions to disguise his identity as a Jedi. At Luke’s wedding, he drove away a swoop gang with the image of a black hole in the middle of a city.

Force Sense- Corran possess an extra sensory perception of his surroundings, which goes to the atomic level. He can “feel” the distance objects are away from him with his eyes closed. He can also anticipate an opponent’s actions.

Force Speed- Corran can call upon the Force to grant himself a burst of energy for an extended period of time. This includes regular running, but also extends to dodges, blocks, and strikes in lightsaber duels.

Force Leap- Corran can use the force to enhance his leg muscles and propel himself into the air over an opponent or onto a higher ledge. In the air, Corran can perform acrobatic twists to dodge an enemy’s attack. This is important to the lightsaber Form IV Ataru.

Lightsaber mastery- Corran has consistently been ranked as a top duelist of the New Jedi Order. He was the first Jedi to defeat a Yuuzhan Vong commander, Shedao Shai. He has sparred with Saba Sebatyne to a stalemate and is considered on par with Kyle Katarn. He has taken on groups of Keshiri Sith single handedly. Additionally, Corran’s main lightsaber is dual phase. It can extend from one meter to three with a simple twist. This provides an unexpected advantage during a duel. Corran also has a second lightsaber inherited from his grandfather, Nejaa Halcyon, which he has used in tandem with his own.

An idea:

Kylo’s introduction scene for IX is him training with various droids and shit (no people, our boy is lonely). Some of the droids have holograms showing well known enemies to the First Order as what’s supposed to be a motivator. He slices through most of them and then swings to strike the next one but pauses moments before he touches it. It’s Rey (because she is like public enemy number 1 now that Kylo’s told everybody that she managed to kill Snoke, his guards, and best Kylo all at once). His saber drops to his side as he walks towards the hologram. His free hand lifts to touch her face, and he looks at her like he did in the elevator in TLJ. As his fingers touch the hologram, it disappears, his fingers close around nothing, and he’s left only with regret.

There’s actually a part of the Force Unleashed II with the clone of Starkiller and Proxy as his lover Juno Eclipse.

You've probably heard this before but any reylo fanfic recomendations?

aI actually don’t get asked that much. Maybe people think I don’t read fanfic, but my commute is shitty and I’m stuck on the bus for two hours a day.

So yeah, I got some recs for ya:

One Shots:

A Ghtroc 690, Fully Restored - by @southsidestory Teen rating. A nice story about Kylo ruining Rey’s vacation on Scarif. I like the references to auxiliary canon material. It’s also a great example of “not everything needs sex to be sexy”.

In the Lowland Plot - by @kylo-wouldnt-like-those-chips - Teen rating. Kylo and Rey process some heavy stuff. A really nice character exploration of the two dealing with the fallout of some sudden events.

Completed Multi Chapter:

Basically anything by pontmercy44, the master of the Rey/KyloBen AU, imo.

Seldom All They Seem - by ambiguously - Explicit rating. Sort of a mystery/psychological story where Rey wakes up with memory loss and it works from there.

Storm - a series by @inthegrayworld - Explicit rating. Pre-TLJ where Rey and Kylo manage their relationship from opposite sides of the war.

Bite the Hand - a series by @cobwebbing - Mature and Explicit ratings. Pre-TLJ. Rey is captive and Kylo tries to get her to eat properly, and all the fallout from that.

A Collision of Stars - by @dustoftheancients - Mature rating. Pre-TLJ slowburn enemies to lovers classic.

Ongoing (as of April 26, 2018) Multiple Chapters:

Powerless - by @perrydowning - Mature rating. I have a weakness for Rey/Ben baby stories.

Tactical Surrender - by @destinieswritten - Explicit rating. Excellent execution of the trope where Rey surrenders to the First Order to save the Resistance.

Noli Me Tangere - by @poethrotsvitha - Explicit rating. Another excellent example of the trope above, but goes in a different direction.

Landscape With a Blur of Conquerors - by @kylorenvevo - Explicit rating. The arranged marriage AU. It’s not even done yet and is already a classic.

World in My Eyes - by @mygrandmathinksimsassy - Mature rating. Enemies to lovers post-TLJ.

Berserker - A Viking’s Tale - by @mallie-3 - Explicit rating - Viking AU. Nicely researched and also slow-burn.

PREY - by @these-are-the-first-steps - Explicit rating - Another pre-TLJ slow-burn classic.

Mine To Hold - by @auraki - Explicit rating - Pre-TLJ fic that predicted Supreme Leader Ren, but also features Rey/KyloBen baby. Uses flashback mechanism to cleverly tell the story.

The Moon, the Sun, and the Star Inbetween - by @silvershiner - Mature rating - Pre-TLJ fic with the baby trope again, but this is like the first classic in the fandom that I can think of with that trope. Might just be the fic I think of the most because the dialogue is so. on. point.

Twelve - by @rainistender - Teen rating - I really like the dialogue!

Honourable Mentions

Anything by @poorqueequeg, should we ever be blessed to be graced with her divine works again in the future (but please don’t bother the author, as sometimes people will take down their works from public distribution and that’s ok).

For every author mentioned, most have written more than what I have listed so you should check out all their work. I just listed my faves of what they have written. And I could go on but I’ll never remember everything at once. There’s so much good stuff out there!

[southsidestory]

Ahhh thank you for giving my fic some love @om-nom-berries!! I really appreciate it. <3
