Count Verandis Ravenwatch

King Laloriaran Dynar

Valaste (she didn’t actually die, but that choice was terrible)

Veya

There are more, I know, please add them because I cannot remember all the characters I got mad/sad about their death.

I am still inspired by @amarearts!! (go look at her uniform designs!) Here’s another set of my SWTOR characters into Garreg Mach! 

GENTS OF FÓDLAN

Eirias Svorn - raised in the wastes of Sreng after his noble mother was disgraced for opposing Lambert’s invasion, Eirias’ appearance at Garreg Mach is seen as a challenge and an insult to the young prince of Faerghus. Shy and unobtrusive, Eirias is more comfortable alone and outdoors. Carries a minor crest of Macuil.

Cleito Aja - crown prince of an island city-state and vassal to Almyra, Cleito was sent as a loyal ally and guardian to Claude. He is only available to the Golden Deer house. A gifted healer and cavalier, Cleito is as gullible as Claude is crafty, and often finds himself the subject of his future liege’s pranks.

Lethen - a skeletal figure who arrived at Garreg Mach under the sponsorship of House Vestra. Despite being a powerful dark mage bearing a major crest of Dominic, Leth lacks a last name, a family history, and any sense of self-preservation. Forgetful and biddable, if anyone shows him kindness he will follow them like a duckling. 

Coronis von Zahm - heir to a cadet branch of House Charon, Coronis attended the officer’s academy in the same class as Monica, and was captured by shadowed figures shortly before his graduation. Recently rescued by the Church of Seiros, his minor crest of Charon has transformed into a major one - but at the cost of his sight. He maintains a playful attitude toward younger students, but carries a heavy weight of spite and vengeance under the surface.

concepts for a sad boy made from storms and distilled fear, maybe a good thing will happen to him sometime

Lethen vs. Ekhein? :(?

Leth, no contest.  Ek is more durable and more tactical, but that doesn’t make much difference in the face of Leth’s overwhelming lightning onslaught.  If they were in an all-out one-on-one fight, it would be over in about five seconds, and Ek would be ash.

Given time to prepare a trap, Ek might be able to rig up grenades and get the drop on Leth.  But a situation like that most likely involves military assignment and his entire squad, so that would be cheating as far as this prompt is concerned.

Interestingly, they did actually meet on the battlefield once. An imperial intelligence minder had just activated Lethen’s obedience programming in a foxhole, but died to shrapnel before he could give an order.  Leth sat there, a silent blank slate awaiting commands… until pub trooper Ekhein, lost behind enemy lines, dove into the foxhole for cover. He yelped in surprise to find a big-eyed, skinny-framed noodle boy waiting there in silence.  Leth tended to wear very simple robes as Lord Vereri, so Ek thought he was a civilian.  All Ek said was, “Stick with me, buddy, we’ll look out for each other!”

This worked for a while (Leth following silently behind Ek, who assumed he was regular shocked and afraid, not brainwashed-sith shocked and afraid). Ek was very affectionate and comforting to Leth, patching up a few scrapes, ruffling his hair, and offering to help Leth reunite with his family.  Leth never responded verbally, though he did smile a few times. Eventually, however, a huge battalion of Imps was sent to find the missing sith lord.  They found the two men a few miles from the republic lines, but when they moved to shoot Ek, Leth killed them all.  With force lightning.

Ek: What… was that.

Leth, speaking for the first time: Looking out for the buddy.

Realizing that the best way to “look out for” Ek was to disobey the “stick with me” part of the order, Leth pointed Ek to the republic encampment, returned to the imperial army, and promptly had all his memories of Ekhein erased by imperial intelligence.
