tried to make a height chart of my swtor ocs but the problem is. THE PROBLEM IS. the only canon height reference picture i have is THIS
so i look it up. for reference, malgus is just under 7"4' and yes you DID read that right. its disrespectful is what it is. what the fuck malgus.
so THIS is where we're starting. i have to compare all of my other swtor ocs on a scale of MALGUS to FENLEY, which as you can imagine, is an insane scale to be trying to use, ever. I mean technically I can also use rycus and sh'iloh, but that is frankly just as bad as you can see above.
I DID EVENTUALLY FIGURE IT OUT THOUGH
which i turned into this after erasing the bg's and just slapping it all in paint. GOOD ENOUGH FOR NOW
the fenley (wrath) and malgus height difference is comical... yes he is a short king wrath but also malgus is just built different... running around and he doesnt even reach the mans shoulders...
if he eyes he would not be looking respectfully. im just saying. if you were chest height with malgus...
I updated all my SWTOR oc info so im just going to make a big post about it. behold my guys. play touys with me
its got a paragraph or two about all my little guys so i will put a readmore under fenley. i am merciful like that
FENLEY
The Empire’s Wrath (Sith Warrior). An ex-jedi padawan, he is a Miralukan powered by spite and actually every other emotion. He condenses his emotions down almost like a diamond under pressure. Because of this, he tends to bleed emotion into the force if he’s not mindful – and hes often not. He is defiant and stubborn, but has a sense of humor. He can actually be quite playful and energetic, but like with a wild animal, it’s easy for that playfulness to turn to viciousness, so watch out! He finds being a Sith allows him to both feel all of his emotions and weaponize them, which he loves wholeheartedly. Regular, run of the mill troops are pretty taken with him, given his propensity for dropping into battlefields unnannounced and raising hell. He’s possessive of troopers under his command, however temporarily.
Additionally, he has an MD-CH1 droid that serves as an assitive droid for him, as he cannot see holograms. It has a bad temper and what amounts to knives for feet, and it gets on with Fenley like a house on fire. He WILL let it loose into enemy ships to see what happens.
AIFENN
The Hero of Tython (Jedi Knight). Present during the sacking of Courascant as a padawan. Pardon my candle analogy, but this Miraluka will burn himself at both ends just to keep others warm (threat, promise.) He genuinely believes that there is a spark of good inside everyone. When discomfited, he defaults to being very polite... Underneath all of that, he does have a sense of humor, he tends to banter with his enemies if he knows them well enough. He believes strongly in not letting his emotions control him, although he does FEEL them. Like a good jedi, he tries to release his emotions into the force, or at the very least not let them effect his judgement in the field... He is not always successful. He is a dutiful commander with a gentle side he isn’t often allowed to indulge. Belives wholeheartedly in the Jedi and the good they are trying to do. Has attached himself as something of a guard to Sh'Iloh, which helps fill the void his padawan-brother Fenley left when he defected. Yes he IS attached, but he's quite hard on himself, so he thinks that it's the least of his sins. This is what happens when you take a guy who wants to be a temple guard and protect people but ends up being really good at dueling and killing because he has trauma related to being an overachiever (thanks, Fenley...)
Additionally, he has an RE-1 scout droid that serves as an assitive droid for him, as he cannot see holograms. It’s an excitable little thing that can often be found scuttling up and down his armor, or bouncing along behind him. It is a chipper and curious little fella.
SH'ILOH
The Jedi Sage (Consular). An emotionally distant Jedi seer with an intense and powerful connection to the force – the cosmic force, specifically. This leaves them physically weak and often strains their body. Hear me out: being a ceaseless conduit for the will of the force takes a toll. The force loves them and it SUCKS. Have you tried to pour a waterfalls worth of water through a straw? That’s how Sh'Iloh feels all the time. It is frankly exhausting. It also lets off a sort of invisible signal to others: people consistently report their hair standing on end, and a pervasive feeling of being watched while in Sh'Iloh’s vicinity.
Their force visions work like this: They can see the branching paths that lead to different futures – most clearly for turning points involving them. This can be something huge or just what the different choices at breakfast will lead their day to be like. It’s on 24-7. They often experience a feeling of deja-vu, and feel disconnected from the present, meaning they make logical and emotionless strategic decisions. It’s always a surprise to them when people show they genuinley care or hold strong feelings for them. Always trying to shift the future down the path that will most greatly benefit the most people. Is somewhat disillusioned with the Jedi order, but prefers it to whatever experiments the Sith would undoubtedly subject them to.
DUSTROS
Darth Vindictus (Sith Inquisitor) is an ex-slave that clawed his way up the ranks to become a Darth. He is surprisingly tolerant of those whose company he enjoys, has a dark sense of humor, and keeps careful tabs on both his friends and his enemies for reasons he prefers to let people sweat over. He also holds a vicious grudge and he ALWAYS gets even. Lobbies against slavery on the council for largely socio-political-economic reasons, so he doesn’t have to get into his feelings about having been a slave. He carefully considers his choices before making decisions, except in the case that one of his options is to kill a slaver, in which he will do it every time he has the opportunity. He has loads of unresolved issues and he’s not going to go to therapy about them, ever. Fun fact: He and Fenley fake dated when both of their positions were more precarious in the Empire to distract from their individual secret workings and it was hilarious.
CYRESK
Cipher Six (Imperial agent) is a Chiss who used to be a member of Csilla's Secret Police before being reassigned to work as a spy for the Chiss’s Imperial Allies as a Cipher agent. Before being sent to the Empire, he volunteered to have his memories erased so that he could not be caught as a double agent. He deeply resents his past self for this, but you'll never get him to admit it. As he hardly remembered his old self, it's only fair that he build his new self off of the bones of the memories he has left and various habits and personality traits from covers on his missions. For example, he decided to always see his targets off with a smile. It's only polite, after all!
His personality is smiling and playful by default. He likes interesting and contradictory things and people, and he enjoys pressing people's buttons to see what sort of reactions he'll get. He dislikes being honest with people about himself, because he sees that as handing over information that can be used against him. He carries out his jobs flawlessly in order to get away with various shenanagins on his missions and so that Keeper stays off his back. He blames his best missions on Cipher 9 to avoid drawing the attention of the Dark Council - which works for a time, but not forever. He's eventually scooped up by Darth Vindictus to serve as his left hand – both gathering information and tying up loose ends.
CILVOE
A smuggler with Republic sympathies, a deep dislike of Chiss and it’s class system, and the owner of a very fast starship. He often pretends to be Pantoran in Republic space and hides his eyes just because it’s easier than explaining he is a Chiss – and safer, because he does not want the Ascendancy to come after his ass for helping out the enemy of their allies. Often smuggles stolen medical supplies and weapons, but has a fondness for plants. Acts first, thinks later, and tends to find himself in situations he could not begin to imagine being in. Sometimes he feels that his life is a comedy and he’s wearing a jester’s hat.
Additionally, he is very cute and a complete lightweight, which has often led to dancers at cantinas doting on him and treating him like a little brother figure. He tries to come off as competent and serious, if not a little intimidating, and it almost always backfires on him. His cuteness cannot be contained and I will not let anyone overlook it so it's game over for him.
LACHLANN CARID
Lachlann of clan and house Carid, Mandalorian bounty hunter and all around problem solver. They come from a traditional clan that prizes honor, and so they act strictly in accordance with Mandalorian values and the Resol'nare: Education and armor, self-defense, our language, our leader - all help us survive. As a Cathar foundling, they do acknowledge that being Mandalorian after the Mandalorian's destroyed their planet and most of the population is... Complex. But it is what it is.
They are blunt and not perfectly fluent in basic. This lends to them speaking as if they're from the space equivilent of medieval times. They believe in keeping their word, are excitable, decisive, and more than a little dense... They care about CONVICTION and HONOR and PROTECTING YOUR PEOPLE and of course FIGHTING INTERESTING ENEMIES and HAVING BIG GENUINE EMOTIONS.
(this is all because i found a snippet of fenley lore. unearthed it from my million tabs, here you go:
personality wise… he's very confident and a partyboy sith. wants to feel EVERY emotion to the max. usually he's amiable and has little to no respect for authority figures. speaks casually even when he really shouldn't. loves to fight, will bite and fight dirty. he is a smartass for sure. if you try to tell him he's bitten off more than he can chew he will simply keep trying to cram the problem into his mouth like a misbehaving dog.)
ok dustros and fenley (my SI and SW) are very funny in the context of the council. ok mostly fenley is funny and dustros is long-suffering.
because yknow, when you kill baras, you don't get his seat. the wrath is outside but equal in the heiarchy. this is great for fenley bad for everyone else, especially vowrawn because fenley can no longer be his successor and he will never be able to retire lmfao
but yeah, TECHNICALLY fenley does have the authority to sit in on meetings, he just doesn't do it often. and that's for the best because he is a menace. theres no chair for him and he makes it everyones problem. he's sat on the arm of vowrawn's chair, the top of dustros' (which is hysterical given how tall those thrones are), starfished out on the floor, and even once sprawled himself sideways across vowrawns lap so they could gossip the whole session.
he avoids the few sessions he's actually called to attend, which means someone has to hunt him down and drag him to dromund kaas, which is a fun game for fenley and literally no one else.
marr often threatens to send people after him... and then often has to... vowrawn thinks its funny and will not help and dustros knows better by now so...
i actually have a lot of drafts. too many drafts. have some snippets from my fenley drafts. i love one very small wrath... his #1 rule to live by is to piss off anyone holding his leash as much as possible
