Uh accursed!Grievous Timeline
For me but maybe you, if you like it. Marking what's canon in bold b/c trying to keep track of that in asks is ugly. Feel free to correct me on any canon I get wrong, I developed a lot of this before I realized being in the Star Wars fandom was an option. Its long.
Qymaen is born on Kalee
These fuckin bugs Huk show up to colonize the planet
This boy got 22 confirmed kills at the age of 8. This concerning fact is canon
Appointed w/ his name jai Sheelal at 16 for an Event I completely made up & left his village with a small crew.
Prophetic dream in the same year. Simps hard for Ronderu lij Kummar. (Canon except vague timeline)
Did a pretty good job eradicating Huk & getting word out to other Kaleesh populations
By 22 Qymaen & Ronderu are pretty much demigods
Spoiler alert that year doesn't go great & Ronderu is killed, lost to the Jenuwaa sea
Intense Personal Drama. The canon timelines get real vague here so I just did what I wanted for maximum drama. Qymaen drops off the radar for over a year in which everyone assumes he's dead. During this time some headcanon shit goes down but also the following:
Pilgrimage to Abesmi where the gods tell him to stop simping so hard to which he refuses & in a ceremonial rite changes his name to Grievous.
Wanders back east being depressed but also undermining every Huk installation he comes across
Gathers the Izvoshra & shows back up at 23 with a devastating amount of Huk intel.
The Huk are driven off of Kalee but Grievous is still mad about it so they go off-world & drive Huk off of other planets they were infiltrating.
He was STILL mad about it so (hubris) they chase the Huk back to Yam'rii & kill as many as fucking possible.
The Republic shows up & tells them to knock it off. Kaleesh respond cordially, "Fuck you go back to minding your own business"
The Republic sends Jedi to make sure they leave. Jedi kill Grievous' brother, a character I invented completely for development. Kaleeshi go home furious.
The Republic embargoes the fuck out of Kalee. Planetary economy tanks.
Grievous is late 20's at this point. Spends the next few years working with Kalee's leading chieftan's to try & unfuck themselves with little progress.
Collects 10 wives, surrounding himself with as many people as possible in an attempt to fill the vanta black void in his soul. Doesn't work but considers being able to make more people with these people a totally sick loophole.
I put 5 buffer years into this b/c I just figured he was getting older by the time shit went down.
So 35ish the Intergalactic Banking Clan shows up like, "Hey you guys need some money? All we want, very specifically, is General Grievous to work for us"
Grievous is like, "That is suspiciously specific, however, it does assuage my unspoken but crushing guilt over my current socioeconomic helplessness so I agree."
Grievous works for the IBC for like 10 more years doing increasingly Separatist ground work. Also continues having children but raising them less & less as he works more. The total on the kids is, canonically, 30 so. That is my reasoning for making him a bit older.
At 45ish he leaves to start a campaign against the Huk who are getting bold. He pisses of San Hill of the IBC for the last time. Dooku straight obliterates his shuttle & his Izvoshra & fishes him out of the Jenuwaa sea (yiss the irony)
CYBORG TIME
I add a few more years. Like. at least 2. How long does it take to train a dusty bone lizard blood bringer how to be a robot? & also master the laser sword techniques of an ancient space wizard society? & also- a lot of stuff okay.
The Clone Wars 2003 animated series Grievous shows up on Republic radar (again) as the Butcher of Blaviken Hypori
The entire Clone War happens & Grievous gets got by Kenobi at around 50 years old.
I make this blog b/c I have no other outlet for my weird hyperfixation.
