having realized I accidently made my SW look a whole lot like Kira Carsen, what if they were siblings?
I was already changing things around with the AU storyline there, so that's fun for giving me some direction from that standpoint. I've not reread the old notes I made about this (they are scattered all over the place, so, well) but Cayr was meant to:
be from a minor Sith family
The old-old concept had her be good at technical, ritualistic Force magic, but so many characters here already covered that, so I moved her into a more politics & logistic focused POV — have her rely on the slave rebelion in the Korriban tombs to gain advantage, have her get attached, have her then be half-foot in the rich & powerful world of Sith, but still tied, through her past and rising levels of guilt to the opposite of that — have her be attached to having wealth and power and be the very lies lies lies everywhere character, and then have it all collapse — have her make a choice. (she'd go the light side route, politically, and maybe go full idealist — though she would stick to DS force stuff)
Have her be Kira's (twin?) sister would be — well, good opportunity for where that choice could be? But; the child of the emperor stuff & Wrath plot. Cayr wasn't meant to be the Wrath-Wrath; that'd be Trachei, her Sith pureblood ex-girlfriend (who she was trying to kill for some form of betrayal?) and if I'm sticking with that, then that works: she's on the sidelines, the power behind the throne of the events that happen, she can kind of slide around the children plotline.
Having her be a powerful force user — and how that'd come about, is, if I have her be born so (have the children thing work on her, have her stay and so on) then there is no reason for her to stick around on Korriban for so long; her and Trachei could switch places, plot-wise, though Trachei wouldn't stick around either — she'd have her family's connections to get a master and go to DK, do politics & party there, then get pulled into the plot by revange reasons and the IA plotline of DK getting shot at — which would be very interesting, actually, and more removed from stuff that Khadeh would already cover, so, might be good actually?
The alternative plotline for this, would be to keep things as they were — she was born a weak force user, children stuff, sister vanishes, weird mystery, slave rebelion connections — she'd get Khadeh (in exchange for whatever) to do the ritual; get the power and do her stuff at more equal level with Trachei — have her catch the attention of the Emperor, because she shouldn't have this kind of power, and also there are some traces of his type of Sith Magic there, what is that — that'd be conflict, it could end with her defecting to the Republic like her sister — though that wouldn't be a geniue defection, just survival.
