Trying to write about a Star Wars space station is really hard because the layout of DS9 is burned into my retinas and my brain and my prose just automatically adjusts for describing that sort of massive promenade with various modules attached instead of the ridiculous variation present in different Star Wars media for what a space station can be. I mean it's not a problem I just think it's funny that--if it were left to me--every space station in the galaxy would just look like DS9.

I am excited to see how the Knights of the Old Republic remake will go but I am also dreading the new kinnies who will pop up. I’m not anti-doubles but I am very.. protective of myself and seeing other’s interpretations is.. strange. To say the least. - Revan -#⚔️🥀

Currently struggling to write an intelligent character without them just having a preternatural understanding of everything happening all the time.

This goes double when employing dramatic irony. Because in the context of what the reader knows, their actions seem like the worst possible choice, but in their own head, it's actually quite clever.

I don't know I just don't want readers to decide my protag is a doofus. At the same time... I guess it's out of my hands anyways.

This part of Revankin isn't even gonna be published for like six months so it doesn't matter much rn but still.

hello hello! i realized recently that i don't know much about your ocs 👀 i know you have the Revankin, but do you have any other ocs you could tell us about? if not, could you tell us more about the Revankin? whatever you want to share about them or any of your other ocs ehehe ☺️

uh. Complicated question?

I have OCs in the way that I have characters that I use to tell stories. I don't spend much time outside of the story developing them, though.

Revankin is a series of books about three people that have direct ties to Revan. Meetra Surik (as his sister), Corran Torr (his brother), and Mission Vao (adopted sister).

Of the three, only Corran is a new character, and he's technically dead before the story even starts. I much prefer adapting existing characters as they would exist in a different series of events than inventing wholly new ones. Other than that... I have Mesa Granth, who is my Jedi Consular, and the only SWTOR character I've progressed the story significantly in. (I'm just now getting into the beginning of Shadow of Revan). Her backstory actually follows from some side characters in Revankin, who I guess technically also qualify as OCs? The Granths are an important family during the events of Revankin, and Mesa is descended from them (but technically that's AU from Revankin because of Story Reasons). She's an aristocrat from Serenno, a Contessa. Her family's ties to the Jedi Order after the First Jedi Purge mean that she got special treatment up until the Prologue for the Consular storyline. I have a lot of short stories concerning her that I've been writing for a prompt group, I guess I could share some of them at some point? The only other SWTOR-era character of note is Mesa's brother, Polis, who goes by Pol. He's an SIS agent that is a little too competitive, and is engaged in a very one-sided game of oneupsmanship with Theron Shan. There is--obviously--no other reason that he's so obsessed with Theron. Or at least, that's what he would tell you. He also has a few short stories from the same group.

Thank you for the ask! I could really go on about any of these three forever, but this is the most condensed version I can offer.

You think you can hurt my feelings? I’m a fictive of a playable character from a game made in 2003. Not only is there little to no content but most of it is incorrect and horrendous. -Revan #⚔️🥀 (Star Wars)

My time spent being in this galaxy really is just “I’m evil.” -> “Actually I don’t want to be the bad guy anymore, I just want my family back.” -> “Never mind, back to being evil but this time for the aesthetic.” I still kiss the love of my life, of course, but my eyes are yellow and I acknowledge that I’m better than everyone else. Smiles. -Revan (Star Wars) #⚔️🥀

Talking to people from the current era is so wild. What do you mean Jedi can’t marry? There’s only one or two Sith, what? There used to be thousands. Back in my day, you couldn’t throw a rock in a cantina and not hit a fucking Mandalorian, the fuck is this “we only come out one at a time” thing. What is this humanoid centric Sith empire? The Sith are a fucking /species/. Double bladed lightsabers are “too violent” now? The fuck happened after I died. -Revan (#⚔️🥀)
