FUCK EVERYONE I’M IN IT FOR ME
@knighttimeart ‘s Darth Sentius, the Seventh Brother, and my own SWOC Ilvashta are in a contractual business arrangement. Both survived and lived past the fall of the Empire, and eventually ran into each other (the notion is vague and loose but I think that she was trying to find a bounty target the same location and time he was looking to relieve someone of their Cool Expensive Shit and she defaulted to “assist the scary evil wizard” because it’s a comfortable fallback when you saw Darth Vader when you were younger)
Anyways, after realizing that she had all this training and history and potential but was spending it living in hostels and drinking herself to death he made her an offer. A paycheck, of course. Power. Goals. Respect. People to order around. Someone to order her around (that’s him). Clothes that weren’t ugly grey lumps because she can’t dress herself for shit.
Of course, the main problem is that she has a deep-seated fear of “sorcerers” she’s had to struggle with and fight against. Unbeknownst to her or anyone at the time, she’s somewhat force-sensitive, but a lifetime of suppression has turned it into a sort of sickening reaction to the force. Certainly explains why she’s done shit like made perfect shots without looking or through walls, and can occasionally tear through walls.
As is, though, the vibes coming off most force-users are just awful for her. Vibes so bad she breaks into a cold sweat and gets tremors.
I love the little sketches that make a sort of story. Just them talking, then talking more, and then her carrying his ass princess-style across a shootout. In all fairness, even he’s not immune to speeder crashes and concussions.
It’s extremely funny to me that both of these goth-ass villains are like. The brightest colors imaginable. Hot Pink and Cotton Candy, next to Aggressively Bright Blue. This is actually part of a larger picture but the facial expressions are too good to pass up.
