Topaz's Core Eight in SWTOR
AKA, everyone else since I only talk about Artek.
Either way, took me a while to figure out my other characters, but eventually I got something concreate for the main eight. Hope ya guys enjoy em!
Jedi Knight: Artek Sefyr
Artek is the hero of Tython of my headcanon. He starts off a bit bratty and impulsive, but otherwise a good ideal hero. However, his experiences during the war mentally break him, growing more jaded and resorting to more pragmatic means in order to beat the Sith Empire. Still generally a heroic warrior type.
Jedi Consular: Leonna Korvan
Leonna also starts of as not a real ideal Jedi, but generally matures over the course of the story. She's generally calm and collected, with the occasional sarcastic or trickster streak every now and then, a bit like Qui-Gon.
Smuggler: Dovan Ebrekin
Dovan is the oldest of my core eight (early 30s by comparison) and used to fly for the Republic Navy in the waning days of the Great Galactic War. He's largely self-interested, but is always willing to stand up for the little guy.
Trooper: Baduhenna Orlais
Baduhenna is very much a hardliner for the Republic. Having been born on Balmorra during the war, she lost a lot of friends and family to the Empire's invasion. Now she's dedicated to protecting the people of the Republic by any means necessary, even if it means fighting with the gloves off.
Sith Warrior: Keija Sakamor
Keija is the daughter of two Ziost nobles, and later the deputy commander of the Eternal Alliance. She starts off a little spoiled and dedicated to her Sith role, but mellows out after her experiences with her non-Sith companions, opening her mind a bit to the wider galaxy. She ends up being a much more pragmatic and reformist type of Sith in the long run.
Sith Inquisitor: Armali Iannlea
Armali is...a very chaotic cathar (with a bit of human ancestry). On one hand, she can be thoughtful, intelligence, and pragmatic, but on the other hand, she's also very manipulative and self-serving. Deep down, she is resentful of the Sith, especially for her slave background, but isn't interested in trying to reform them, only expand her own powerbase. That being said, those under her fair a lot better than those under other sith lords.
Bounty Hunter: Vessara Xiansil
Okay so Vessara is Mirialan in game, but the blue skin option does allow for a pretty convincing Pantoran kitbash. She's a former street kid turned professional mercenary. Fairly ruthless in how she operates, but not a complete psycho.
Imperial Agent: Malo Pellaeon
Malo is loyal and dedicated to the Empire, but very much opposes the Sith, thinking they're holding everyone else in the Empire back. He's very cold and pragmatic, but not beyond reason. He accepts a lot of the Empire's faults as nessecary evils early on, but grows to be more critical as time passes.
And that's the main eight. I got plenty of other characters in mind, but for now, I hope you guys enjoy glimpses as my blorbos. Looking forward to ranting about them.
