- shen has an incredible gift for making blanket nests within five seconds, and will just. cocoon themselves happily if allowed

- once shen gets the hang of being able to hang on to stuff given to them, they end up collecting a lot of galaxy maps from various eras. they take a little warped and guilty pride in knowing some hyperspace routes that took thousands of years to be found again

- chotal hasn’t seen her family since she was… three years old. when she was sixteen she sent them a sum of credits and a formal thank you for contributing to her life. she has siblings she has never once met…

my entire swtor lineup as of now! one day I’ll actually have the focus to put together outfits for all of them but to be fair, half aren’t done their class stories yet

[xivu-arath]

this absolutely wasn’t a mistake

[xivu-arath]

a quick list of Main Songs for all of my swtor ocs, because I can (and bc I put a lot of thought into this)

rkorya: are you coming with me - crown the empire

meyrikh: iamundernodisguise - school of seven bells

netethei: plenty - aeseaes

yskra: pretty girls put boys in cemeteries - sean leon

shenrihn: glass heart hymn - the paper route

chotal: for silence - paul hartnoll

vit: david - noah gundersen

kymet: water and power - cold war kids

give me a 3000 page essay on the topic of how great quesh is? nah but actually what are your favorite swtor planets? do any of your characters have a certain connection with a planet? also, what would you like clariel to get up to more often on denny??

I love quesh and how it squishes underfoot and how the elevators kill you and how everything is poisonous and,

oKAY THO I def adore dromund kaas and korriban the most for being edgy aesthetics and dromund kaas having like. actual different environments, while korriban was just the most imposing entry planet and made a huge impression on me when I first started playing. aesthetics-wise, voss, belsavis and tython are also faves

rkorya was born and raised on dromund kaas and loves it, even if she grumbles about the rain (when vette grumbles about the rain she’s immediately defensive bc only kaasians really get the privilege of grumping about kaas’ weather). she also has a strong attachment to korriban due to her training there, and its climate and culture… really suit her. she always visits it at the new year to hold vigil and wait for the dawn of another year on the planet which venerates and treasures the end of so many sith

shenrihn has strong connections to tython (held captive and trained there) and belsavis (imprisoned and experimented on there) but their actual fave planet is ilum because they went there to train, to learn stillness and peace and to be in a quiet, empty place to centre themselves and… it was one of the best and most peaceful times of their life

kymet and vit like coruscant well enough, and bits of nar shaddaa, but they tend to be on the move way more than they are planetside. vit hasn’t been there in-game yet but apart from the constant threat of death he’s really a fan of makeb

chotal has a connection to tython of course, but her fave planets are voss and the planet the esh-kha settle on, because she promptly moves in there for like three months

yskra… considers rattatak both the bane of her life and where she became strong enough to fend for herself, so it’s. important but she’d rather not go back now.

as for what I’d like to do with clariel… explore her actual trauma and what happened before she got to denny bc it’s a big thing and she’s sort of been avoiding both her actions and the losses she’s suffered for months now. but my biggest wish would be to get her to actually be threatened or pushed into a rage on-screen and to have that have consequences bc it’s… def a scary, unpredictable thing

or better yet, do some free magic stuff bc that also hasn’t come up yet and that’s a Disaster waiting to happen

10 facts for the OC of your choice? ^^

hmmm I’ll go with chotal since I don’t talk about her as much as I should

because she’s softspoken and courteous, people often assume she’s humble, this is categorically incorrect. she’s actually very confident in her abilities and knowledge. she gives people the benefit of the doubt once and if they ignore or belittle her they get roundly ignored as she sails off to do things her way, possibly with lots of force quakes

when she was sixteen she looked for her parents and sent them a small sum of credits and a formal thank you for giving her up to the temple. that’s the only real contact she’s had with them, though she does have some siblings somewhere in the galaxy

she was taken in by the jedi very young, mostly because she had an unnerving amount of power

as a padawan she was so much trouble - the combination of a lot of power, a hunger to learn more and casual disregard for rules and disapproval meant she was everyone’s headache. that she was polite while sneaking out of lessons and convincing jedi to leave her alone was the worst part of it

she is a terrible lightsaber duellist and only knows the basics of shii-cho and niman forms. she uses it more for the utility of being able to cut through nearly everything than for actual battle. tfw ur glowing sword is a plasma lockpick

she abhors the dark side but doesn’t believe in destroying any knowledge, not matter how forbidden, and has fought the council over the keeping of sith holocrons and artifacts

in her opinion, anything and anyone can be turned to the light with time and understanding. the sith can’t be fought from the galaxy - they have to be turned and healed. ask tol braga how that went, chotal…

she’s aiming to be the first to research esh-kha culture. as soon as she finished up on corellia she took a few months off to help hallow voice find a planet to settle on and then stayed there to Learn

after tharan made a bet with her to not force persuade anyone for a month, she’s found out that she really likes trying to bluff her way out of situations, though she’s also not very good at it…

she mails and visits syo regularly, and she insists on telling him about what she’s been doing and asking for his advice with diplomatic situations. it’s honestly really sweet

I'd love to see some headcanons abt your fav swtor character/s or fav warrior cat/s!!

I’m on a swtor run of questions so I’ll go with that I think...

vit is the oldest of my current swtor ocs, with kymet in second place. shenrihn’s the youngest. rkorya was originally kind of a young prodigy but now she’s in the middle, whoops

kymet has a crush on sergeant jaxom, who’s doing undercover work on coruscant, and aric started ribbing her about it as soon as they left. she just has a weakness for competent and sassy cute girls okay

she’s also kind of a romantic sap and plays lots of dating games and visual novels to unwind. often the more overblown and melodramatic and cheesy, the better. this is a secret she guards carefully

vit can cook, and often after less successful runs will treat the crew to a nice meal. though it’s a little rarer now that everyone has wildly conflicting diets. geez, guys, stop making it hard

kymet can do amazing things with rations, everyone else is moderately hopeless - rkorya can grill meat and seafood and that’s... it. since that’s what she eats. shenrihn’s diet is as plain and bland as possible, chotal has the worst possible luck in the kitchen and will burn water

lana and rkorya have a history of extra and sentimental gifts - mostly armour, lightsaber crystals, expensive speeders. nothing like something fancy but useful to say “thinking of you while destroying threats to the empire”

on life day lana gets her the pick of a pedigree tuk’ata litter and rkorya p much dies? she also has a particularly Large womp rat named sutta that’s trained as a mount, and will chew on scrap metal for fun

chotal also has a mount - a mountain tauntaun, which continually bemuses her crew. she’s composed and elegant and yet... she's fond of these grumpy, temperamental beasts. also they stink, which she ignores regally. the rest of her crew isn’t so good at it.

it took shenrihn ages to figure out when doc is teasing and so they sometimes are blatantly, horribly wrong about really basic things, so he’ll try to correct them, only for them to follow up with something even more blatant. it’s a bit cruel but admittedly a lot of fun
