Man, Andswaru is probably so caught off guard when Torian says he wants to marry her.

She probably saw the whole thing as more along the lines of a casual fling, and that Torian is just extra romantic. Plus, she’s “old” (33 to his 18) and eventually he’ll want someone closer to his own age, right?

And then Torian’s like “I love you, let’s get married” and it’s like swerve. And then probably insults him more than a little by suggesting that he’s not really thinking this through and he doesn’t really want to end up with a woman more than ten years his senior.

Andswaru is probably mildly self-destructive in this regard.

And then Torian has to be extra grossly romantic and tell her that he doesn’t really care about how old she is he loves her and wants to be married with her and possibly have cute little babies.

Ages ago I changed Andswaru’s hair from the bob cut to the ponytail. And at the time I really liked it.

But I’m looking back at old screenshots of her and I kind of want to give her her old hair back.

So I did.

I’ve probably said this before, but Torian probably silently weeps anytime Andswaru invites herself along on a hunt.

You can see this lady coming from three miles away

Main Canon family trees!

This took so long to make and I gave up on making it look nice and even. ... I realise, after typing that previous sentence, that I could have thrown up the grid thing in photoshop and been able to very easily line things up so it looked nice.

*long sigh*

So many babies.

No, I didn’t miss Aefre and Corso. They don’t have babies.

In addition, they experienced a greatly accelerated growth rate compared to Humans, which contributed to their reaching maturity faster than Humans. Thus a Chiss at the age of 10-years held the physical maturity of a 20-year old Human. This in turn resulted in a culturally-imprinted emotional maturity that was many times above that of their Human counterparts. They were capable of living up to 80 years old, at which point a Chiss was considered venerable; children were between ages 1-10, and they experienced a rapid growth spurt by which they were considered full adults. Middle-age followed between the ages of 51-62, and those aged 63-79 were considered old

What the fuck Star Wars.

Like... they have the same life expectancy of regular humans they just conveniently grow and mature in like a few months at the age of fucking 10. Man their short adolescence they must be just constantly, non-stop fucking eating. 

I guess I could age-down Andswaru with no regrets since apparently she could’ve been out starting her bounty hunting career when she was 12.

So because Chiss reach adulthood when they’re ~10 years old, Andswaru would have been an adult ~12 BTC. Which means she easily could have been involved in the fighting.

So I like to think she did. Enlisted and fought like a good member of the Ascendancy, fighting for their allies the Sith Empire. And during the long years of fighting, she became jaded about the whole affair, and eventually defected about a year before the Treaty of Coruscant.

Deciding she wanted nothing to do with politics, she worked as a mercenary in Hutt Space, then as a bounty hunter. During this time she lost her accent, gaining the “not-Imperial” one she currently has. People are kind of suspicious of a Chiss merc, since they’re often imperial agents, but she has a fairly good run of it.

Then she decided to make a go for the Great Hunt with Braden and his crew. She doesn’t really give a crap about the Mandalorians, but there was a lot of money to be had and the opportunity for further big-ticket bounties, she was game.

And then the way it all goes down, she ends up getting dragged into the “Imperial Bullshit” anyways. She’s very unhappy about that.

Doodling Andswaru. I 3000% traced over her stupid armour. Stupid Star Wars and it’s stupidly complex shit.

Star Wars: The Old Republic “Main Canon/Atropa Legacy”

Solkaras (Karas) | Yniuria Yracundia (Yra) | Saraklos (Sara) Andswaru | Aefre Zephyrine | Un’Yunith (Yunith)

[holosoftheoldrepublic]

I’ve been thinking about the interpersonal relationships of my Main Canon.

Most of the “canons” I created after the Main and Secondary Canons were actually at least somewhat made with interpersonal relationships in mind for some of the toons at the vary least, but the Main and Secondary canons literally existed so that I could run each class with either pure light or pure dark (and the other advanced class). How the toons related to one another didn’t really matter, aside from the fact Karas (Agent) and Sara (Consular) were twins, as well as Yn (Knight) and Yra (Inquisitor) being twins (I love me some twins, I guess).

Whenever I write about my Main Canon (I rarely touch on my Secondary Canon) there’s generally a conspicuous absence of interpersonal relationships of the classes, with only Yra/Yn getting anything in depth because Yra is my absolute favouritest toon and Yn is her sister. And sitting down and actually thinking about it... I feel like on the Empire side none of them would really be friends. Republic side, Yn, Sara, and Un’Yunith (Trooper) would all be friends, or at least closer than just “colleague” or “aquintance”. And then there’s Aefre (Smuggler) who’s “that one really nasty bitch who we keep having to work with” (seeing as how she’s the Token Dark Side toon).

Back to the Empire, the “glue” that would keep the group together would be Karas (who’s also the Token Light Side toon lmao). Andswaru (Bounty Hunter) has only the flimsiest justification of being involved with any of this nonsense (the same goes for Aefre, and it’s kind of a problem with those two classes in general, and one of the reasons they’re my least favourite classes) and I think the only reason she’s around is because Karas gets a lot of use out of Andswaru being the antithesis to what she does (Karas being a squishy sniper and Andswaru being a tanky dispenser of flame and pain). Zepheryne (Warrior) is a bit too self-important to really get involved with the others. She’d be most likely to get along with Yra, if it weren’t for quite a number of factors. Namely, Yra’s origins as a slave (Zeph is absolutely an elitist) and them butting heads over which of them has the most power- a member of the Dark Council, or the Emperor’s Wrath. Karas has had to interpose between the two more than a few times (and probably gets Andswaru to help).

The only two I’d actually consider to be something approximating friends are Karas and Yra, and I’m not actually entirely sure why, they just click together in my mind. As former Imperial Intelligence, Karas has the mind for the sort of political intrigue that Yra is likely involved in, and their respective “low born” statuses (alien and slave) could give them common ground. I don’t see them as particularly close, however, which would largely be Yra’s fault. She’s not great at making friends. Later in life, before she gets over a bunch of her issues, she finds herself quite isolated, with only the ever faithful Talos as her company (they do nerdy nerd things of nerdiness together).

The TL;DR here being that the Republic Classes are largely nice people so they get along (sans Aefre, who is awful) and the Empire Classes are a bunch of assholes who don’t get along with anybody (sans Karas, who’s delightful).
