Did you ever see a woman so beautiful you just started crying?

[i-declare-a-kaggath]

I dunno who you wanna do 'em for, but your pick for one or all (3 the same ship or 3 different ones): ♡ 💙💚

I’m going to do a jumbled, clustered mash of nonsense because I don’t know what I’m doing B^)

♡: who is the bigger romantic openly? secretly?

Openly? Fliis. Big time…she wants to shower her love in affection. Arranging date night, stopping on any and every planet for flower seeds to make Atrax grow custom boquets, flying Mactans out to see nebulae and stars and gushing about how they’re almost as beautiful as Mactans is. Hopeless romantic. Sweetest baby.

The secret romantic of everyone? It’s actually…Malgus. This boy could draw Eleena’s face from memory in his war journal? That is SCREAMING pining secret romantic. He may be a little…dense…but I’d imagine he’s got quite the portfolio of secret works.

💙: who is more protective?

Mactans is the most protective of everyone. If anyone so much as looks at Fliis nastyways and Mactans hears about it? Done. Fliis can 10,000% handle herself, but is she about to tell that to the 2.1m tall Twi’lek with a Trandoshan in a headlock? Nah.

💚: who tends to get sick more often? who is better at taking care of the other?

Bri’ataa gets sick the most. They are less than kind on their liver, and other various organs. Coupled with world-hopping the most and being exposed to more pathogens than anyone else in the crew? Not that you can get them to admit they’re sick…

Which is fortunate because Atrax has a deep knowledge of natural remedies and gardening. He know just when to offer the immune supporting teas, grown in house, and is the only being in the friggin universe that can get Bri’ to take actual care of themselves.

Thanks for the ask!!

things you said at 1 am

“Why are you not as gentle with yourself as you are with me.”

It was a question and a demand. Mactans had a way of doing that. Fliis opened her mouth, but she couldn’t form any words. Mactans tilted her head to the side, studying her. The scrutiny would be insufferable from any other being, but Fliis could feel genuine concern in the question. 

Mactans had a face made of edges and hard lines. Serious, severe lips that only smiled to her. A sharp nose and cheekbones that could flay. Even her eyes were sharp, unnaturally yellow and piercing. Tonight, though, they seemed diffuse: the warm glow of a gentle sun. 

“I hear the things you say when you think I’m asleep. The things you think are lost into the night. If any other being said them to you I’d rip their heart out.

I’m not as good at this as Atrax, but you deserve better than the things you said at 1 AM.”

[egreed]

01. What does your character’s name mean? Did you pick it for the symbolism, or did you just like the way it sounded?

Fliis. She was originally a character from an original story that I never got around to putting to paper, but the reasons are the same. I wanted something soft for her name. Something that represented her incredible ability to remain gentle and soft and sweet even after everything she’s been through. 

02. What is one of your character’s biggest insecurities? Are they able to hide it easily or can others easily exploit this weakness? 

She is afraid of failure and letting people down. Sometimes she doesn’t use her head because she’s so busy thinking with her heart. She and Atrax are independent but she wants to provide better for them. This insecurity also makes her push herself harder than she should sometimes. It could be exploited pretty easily but she’s usually busy beating herself up about it without help.

03. What would be their favorite physical trait about themselves?

After she started gaining weight she felt so much better about herself. Her face started filling out and she got soft around the edges after she and Atrax left and began to build their base. Once she started to see and feel that softness she was like “Shit! I’m hot!” and she loves herself and her body.

04. What are their favorite traits about their lover? (one psychological and one physical) 

I would say [SPOILERS] but I’ve already talked about shipping her with...you know.... B^)

05. Are they sexually confident or more of the shy type?

She’s normally confident, but as soon as she is romantically interested in someone she completely falls apart. Massive dork energy. 06. Do they have any hobbies that their lover finds unusual, odd, or otherwise annoying?

She has a tendency to push herself too hard physically when training. She still holds a lot of fear because of her upbringing and refuses to stop pushing herself to be stronger.

07. Is there a catchphrase or sound that they tend to make a lot (likely without being aware of it)?

She “Meep!”

08. What is, perhaps, their biggest flaw? Are they aware of this or oblivious to it?

She is still a little naïve because she didn’t get exposed to lessons that would teach her certain things. She has her heart in the right place but gets into messes because of it sometimes.

09. Do they have a favorite season? What about a favorite holiday?

She prefers warm weather. I need...to make some holidays....

10. Is your character more feminine or masculine?

Feminine AF

11. What is something that would make your character fly into a rage?

Hurt someone she loves.

12. Is there some particular talent, skill, or attribute that they simply could not give up?

Flying. She is a great pilot.

13. What are your character’s sleeping habits? Heavy or light sleeper? Blanket stealer? One that always rolls onto the floor? Pushes their lover onto the floor? Sleep talker or walker?

Heavy sleeper with frequent nightmares. Even they’re both grown adults, if she’s having a particularly bad time sleeping she can sleep with Atrax. They have a strong, protective familial relationship.

14. Do they live alone or with family? How do they feel about their family/roommates?

With found family. She and Atrax are very close. Although Ruin antagonizes her constantly, and she him, they rely on each other. Rack is her copilot and wouldn’t trade him for a world.

15. Is there a certain person in this world that they cannot stand? The very mention of this person’s name makes them tremble with anger or fear.

[REDACTED] 16. Is your character the athletic type or more of a couch potato? What are some sports/games that they like?

She’s very athletic and can kick ass.

17. Does your character have dreams of getting married and/or having children?

She doesn’t think children are for her. She doesn’t live a lifestyle congruent with child raising. She’d love to have a wife one day, though.

18. What kind of home would they want to live in? Where would they place this abode?

She wants to find somewhere planetside for herself and Atrax. Somewhere with lots of gardening space, long rolling hills, no Hutts, and neighbors that don’t ask questions.

19. Would your character be the kind to get into fights? (physical or verbal) Would they be a good fighter or cave in rather easily?

She isn’t out looking for a fight, but she’s very capable and can take a hit. Physically, she has probably the highest pain tolerance of anyone in the crew except for Atrax.

20. Does your character like animals? What are some of their favorite animals? Would they want pets? What about mythological creatures?

I don’t know what the star wars equivalent of a horse girl is but that’s Fliis. She loves animals so much. She wants to pet every tooka in the universe. Twice. 21. What is one of your character’s biggest fears? How would they react when dealing with this fear?

Failure. Freaking the fuuuuuuck out.

22. What kind of tattoos, piercings, birthmarks, freckles, and other such unique physical features do they have?

She has natural striping on her lekku, arms, and legs, plus a shitton of freckles. I head canon that because Twi’leks live in cave systems on Ryloth they’re super susceptible to getting freckles because they don’t spend a lot of time under a sun and get most of their vitamin D from mushrooms instead of synthesizing it themselves.

23. What is your character like when it comes to school? What subjects are they good/bad at? Do they get in trouble a lot or are well behaved?

She didn’t go to a school.

24. In their own words, how would your character describe what their lover is like?

sldfjslkfKHASDFLSKDFJDSKFJLSAFllksdflkvnkasdlffjkldsfalskdfLFJkdflsjlkfjiejwiofjc

25. Is there something traumatic from your character’s past that greatly affects them even to this day?

Yes.

26. What is their lover like sexually? How do they feel about their lover’s quirks, needs, etc?

//u//

27. If your character was going to get arrested, what would be the most likely reason for it?

Theft, possession of a [redacted], tax evasion......

28. If your character became a celebrity, what would they be famous for?

Being an actual literal ray of starshine.

29. What is one of the most courageous things your character has ever done for a loved one?

Escape from a Hutt.

30. When it comes to the arts (music, film, theater, etc), what does your character like?

She loves listening to trashy space pop music and watching shows on the holonet. She likes to keep it light and fun because life before was always so sad. She doesn't like to take things too seriously. 31. Would your character be the kind capable of killing? Would they enjoy killing or only use it when necessary or, perhaps, refuse to kill no matter what?

She’s very capable of it, but only when necessary.

32. If your character’s lover offered to take them out on a dream date, what would they want to do?

A long day under an open sky in tall grass. Pack a picnic, visit a new world, not have any responsibilities and just be in some nature.

33. If your character wanted to be alone, where would they go?

There’s a nebula in wild space that is far from any inhabited world or commonly used hyperspace lane. It’s a forgotten part of the galaxy, and sometimes she’ll go there to look out the viewport. She can’t stay long, though, because it gets overwhelming to see how big and empty it can be.

34. Does your character have favorite foods? (breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snacks, etc)

Space waffles, roasts, sweet ice, shit dude is there pizza in star wars? There is now. Caf, caf and sweet ice together....just like, every tasty thing ever.

35. Is your character afraid of death? If they got to choose how to die, how would they want to go?

She’s not so much afraid of dying, more of missing out or not getting opportunities. Still, if she had to pick: peacefully in her sleep.

36. Does your character have any medical conditions? Are they serious or minor? Do they affect their day to day life?

She is missing a lek. Almost the whole thing. She has to wear a weighted prosthetic to keep balanced. She has a couple and likes to decorate them.

37. What are some of your character’s pet peeves? What are some things that annoy them or disgust them?

She doesn’t like to be told what to do and has a problem with authority.

38. What kind of weather does your character like? Cloudy skies, rainy days, sunshine, etc?

SUNSHINE! She likes the warmth, the free breeze, swimsuit season!

39. When people look at your character, is there some assumption they might make about them just by appearance? Is that assumption correct?

She’s a short, fat Twi’lek woman. Literally the whole universe assumes she’s weak, subservient, and incapable of holding her own in a fight and they are all deadass wrong.

40. Does your OC have any guilty pleasures they enjoy? Hobbies, past times, music, etc that they wouldn’t want known by others?

”Guilty pleasures? I like what I like. Judge me, I’m INVINCIBLE.” 41. Does your character’s family affect your character in any way?

Biological, no. Atrax? Heavily.

42. Is there anything in your character’s past that they regret, haunts them, or they wish they could change?

A different upbringing would be nice, but it’s hard to imagine.

43. Does your character have a switch that changes aspects of their personality whether they are around friends, family, etc. Is there someone who gets to see their true self?

As she tries to become a smuggler--well, a better smuggler--she tries out a ton of personas to fall into while she works.

44. Is there a particular event that would emotionally devastate your character?

Losing Atrax would be beyond devastating.

45. Is your character the kind to hide their true emotions or do they wear their heart on their sleeve?

She wears it on her sleeve at home.

46. What is some random affectionate thing that your character always does to their lover?

She’s very physically affectionate. Massages, hand holding, stroking back/lekku/arms/etc.

47. Is your character outgoing? Would they be the leader of the friend group, or the quiet one that gets dragged along?

She’s not the leader of the crew, but she is outgoing. She’s not a “follower” but Atrax is very much In Charge.

48. Is there anything in particular that would ignite your character’s jealousy? Or does your character not get envious?

Having natural talent in something she can’t do. Which is hard for a non-force sensitive living with at least one force user.

49. What is something that your character has nightmares about? Are these frequent? Do they heavily affect your character’s mood?

Her past, and people she cares about getting hurt. There’s a lot of “what-if” scenario dreams and she ends up having pretty horrible nightmares. She’s pretty well used to it and functions in the daytime alright most of the time, unless it’s a particularly bad one.

50. If your character confessed love to their crush, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc, what would they say?

So much awkward stammering and word-circling until she gets flustered.

Raise your glass! The Crew has a drink.

Atrax: caf with cream and sugar, water, or light beers.

Mactans: STRONG. BLACK. CAF. Not a fan of alcohol. Water to not die but mostly caf.

Fliis: Space frappes. Rainbow colors with sprinkles. Also a fan of teas. Water is boring.

Bri'ataa: Caf tabs for long stakeouts. Otherwise just water, or space Malibu Barbies. No in between. Their alcohol is the variety that tastes like candy and has six levels of fuck you up.

[i-declare-a-kaggath]

The Crew goes clothes shopping

Atrax: No. He custom makes basically everything ever. Not a fan of crowds, strangers, or unfamiliar places.

Mactans: Scowls the entire time. Hates shopping, but doesn't have the skills necessary to make the things she wears. (Her entire wardrobe is weaponized clothing. The whole thing. She is never...EVER without a weapon)

Fliis: Not only will she shop till she drops, it's a week/weeks long experience. Has to try on everything. Great fashion sense, and dresses up for herself even if most of her wardrobe stays at the base.

Bri'ataa: Doesn't mind shopping. They have to pretty often to blend in with the crowd of a new planet. Being a sniper means making sure they Don't *look* like a sniper.

"There was an abandoned speeder. Of course there was an abandoned speeder, just like in the adventure stories on the holonet. Almost as if speeders were in a constant state of abandonment, ready to he hotwired with reckelss...ah...the point is there was somehow, serendipitously, transportation at the ready. The only obstacle was some basic electrical tomfoolery. Really, you'd think that there'd be some sort of safety feature to prevent this. I don't think these things are cheap, but I wouldn't know. I haven't had to buy one."
