Some time ago, @jukkaricity and I talked about how our toons might interact with other OCs. The one we know best—thanks to frequent uploads and character insights—is @frauleiiin’s Jedi Knight, Maverik’a. She's the Alliance Commander within Fraulein's story universe, so why not have M deal with E and T at Odessen? Don't ask how the two got there; they simply materialised into existence...
Tahr'rys and Erin are doing absolutely nothing productive—just idling, indifferent to the flurry of activity around them. T sits comfortably, sipping his tea, while E tinkers with a technical device, half-fixing, half-dismantling it just to keep her hands busy. No one explicitly told them they had to be helpful and both took full advantage of this, much to the Commander's growing frustration.
T, as always, is pedantic and unwilling; following orders but only when given direct, precise commands. If there's room for interpretation, his results are technically correct but never quite what was intended. He is a jerk and far too clever, exploiting every loophole. E, on the other hand, is a walking menace, leaving explosions, electrical fires and mayhem in her wake, all under the guise of helping. She volunteers when asked, but at what cost?
After an incident involving Erin and Kaliyo (what started as a scam quickly escalated into a massive explosion at the base) Maverik'a finally forbids the two from even being in close proximity. Erin takes this personally, more opposed to this Alliance thing than before.
And Tahr'rys’ passive-aggressive defiance eventually wears down even a Jedi's patience. When Mave finally snaps and reproaches him for his indifferent, borderline rebellious behaviour, T simply turns mid-sermon and walks away—without a word, without a reaction. As if he hadn't even heard her.
Before exiting the base and heading to his ship, the former Sith gives a slight nod to the Chaos Gremlin, who flashes a mischievous grin, sticks out her tongue at the others and falls into step behind him. They leave behind a fuming Commander, baffled as to how these two became her responsibility.
Sorry for not being sorry Fraulein :D
Hey, I have realized I see Artuur's posts a lot but I know barely anything about him 👀 can you by any chance remedy to that? I'd love to hear more about him 🙏
Hello! Thanks for asking about Artuur!
Artuur is from the planet Corellia. His father was a shipbuilder who worked at the Santhe Shipyards. Artuur was not very close to his father and didn't want to spend his entire life trapped on Corellia so he left home at an early age by sneaking onto an Imperial transport.
Things didn't go well at first and he had to undergo various indignities and unsavoury jobs until he was taken on as an apprentice by a Bounty Hunter. Eventually Artuur would outshine even his Master and go on to become Grand Champion of the Great Hunt.
And of course during the Great Hunt he would meet Torian Cadera who would become very important to him but that's another story!
@frauleiiin reposting with your tags to give you a proper response, and for anyone else who is curious. :)
for my screenshots i use a shader injector program called reshade! it’s a little tricky to set up for SWTOR, unfortunately. i used this guide initially, but also had to go to their discord and ask for assistance in configuring a few things, like the aforementioned depth of field. even with help, my depth buffer is still wonky and requires me to tweak numbers a bunch to make it work, but even then, it’s still very worth it for taking cool shots.
on top of reshade, i do a bunch of manual editing in various programs. recently, i’ve been using pixlr, which is a neat browser-based photo editing program. it’s almost entirely free to use, though it does ask for a very small monthly fee to save more than a few pieces per day.
hey, just know that your moodboards are absolutely breathtaking! I'd definitely read more about your OCs if given the opportunity 🥹
🥺🥺🥰🥰
Thank you! This made me so happy 🩷It’s been very gratifying to know that there’s more Old Republic fans on tumblr than I had thought. As we SPEAK I am writing up a whole bunch of gigantic posts about them all that I want to stick under a masterpost. But here’s kinda the quick basics about each of them
Lexie is my Exile (such a clever name, I know). She’s a Zeltron (if unfamiliar, they’re basically just the green-skinned-space-babes trope but with red skin). This is partly because she is THE hottest bitch in the galaxy (which is an integral part of her character. to me) but also because Zeltrons have this whole thing with sensing emotions and that really struck me as like an Exile thing. A story about running away from her emotions and pretending everything’s fine even to herself, healing through forming loving and caring relationships with others who have been through similar trauma
Revan was born Felicyta but post-amnesia she goes by Zyta. So obviously she’s all about redemption and grey morality, but I’m also doing this other thing with her that’s all about how without the burdens of being Revan (leading a Sith Empire, PTSD from fighting a war, her tense frienemy thing with Malak, whatever weird shit’s going on with the Emperor, etc) she’s far happier, healthier, and overall more herself than she ever had been before. So then finding out about her past is like, she’s facing that not just with different memories but basically with a whole new personality as well that has nothing to do with anything the Jedi put in her brain
We love a Chiss agent in this house. Riassa’s full name is way to long for most people to pronounce so her core name is Riassa. I feel like she’s the person version of like an australian shepherd, so elegant and beautiful and poised on the outside but then on the inside is just so full of anxiety. Luckily she’s got the tools and emotional intelligence to handle it well for the most part. I wrote an extensive backstory for her that will probably never see the light of day in its entirety, mostly because Chiss politics are so goddamn complicated
Rakiya is a Mirialan Consular, and she’s all serene and spiritual etc but also the underappreciated beauty of the Consular story is as a mystery novel. So her point of view of the story will have elements taken from Holmes and Agatha Christie novels to name a few. She IS a little old lady who randomly gets involved in murder investigations only to be smarter than everyone else in the room
Speaking of detectives, in one of my bigger posts I describe Lyna the bounty hunter as a hard-boiled 1940s film noir detective. If classic Hollywood made the bounty hunter story as a movie she would be gender swapped and played by Humphrey Bogart. Human gladiator from Rattatak raised by Weequays
Inquisitor is Ulla (last name eventually becomes Kallig). I use manipulative to describe her a lot but it’s more like she’s just really good at PR. Like the way that like TSwift/Princess Kate and Meghan/Met Gala attendees can like destroy the environment or commit war crimes or serve the interests of the ruling capitalist class BUT no one except leftists on tumblr brings it up and they all have the vast majority of people excusing and supporting them JUST by virtue of being conventionally attractive and wearing pretty and expensive clothes while also maintaining an image of being oh so relatable. That’s Ulla right there
Mydha is Thee hero!!!! It’s pronounced like mihd-hah (as in the words MIDdle and HAnnah). It was important to me that the Knight be South Asian coded because of just how much Star Wars as a whole has stolen from South Asian cultures and never gave any credit for it. Her character’s big thing is that she’s an optimist (in like the most positive sense of the word, I’m not like one of those people who think optimists are naïve or idiots or smthing)
The smuggler is a twi’lek called Paavy (similar to Riassa, that’s not her full name). And uh idk how to put it other than that she’s a slut (affectionate). I personally am very pro her having a lover at every port with no negative consequences. She just has sort of commitment issues sort of
The trooper is Nuala, or Sergeant Croí at the start of the story (pronounced sort of like kree). She’s a cyborg with implants on her face and I have a whole detailed story about the injury that caused the need for them as well as how they impact her. She’s also Corellian (from the system not the planet) and if you’ve ever scrolled through some of the wookieepedia pages for Corellia, it’s very…usamerican liberal-centrist “there are some good cops!” type of thing. So that kinda felt right for the soldier character lol. She will learn and grow though
Asha Kûsk is my bb girl little darling. By process of elimination she is the Sith Warrior. She’s the only child of wealthy Sith nobility, a pureblood Sith, a prodigy in swordsmanship, the youngest of my ocs - this girl is s p o i l e d. But like what does all that look like when the parents that baby her and spoil her would also kill her in a heartbeat to promote their own interests? When she’s grown up in an environment of conflict and mistrust as just the norm, that kinda negates a decent chunk of her privilege (on an internal emotional level)
