OC recruitment meme, Veresia, all odd numbered questions
15 was in my previous reply but here goes!
1. Would they be recruitable?
Realistically the answer would be no unless it was in vanilla (i.e. before she’s an overpowered member of the Sith Dark Council). But since that’s a boring answer let’s say…yes but with limitations (no Sith or Imperial Agents. And it’d be very difficult to recruit her as a Jedi). And she’d be horribly elitist and love to mention how she’d be way more successful than your character the entire time.
3. When would you recruit them? Vanilla story? an Expac? Post KOTET?
Vanilla makes the most sense - that way she wouldn’t be as powerful both with the Force and in general, and wouldn’t have the support structure behind her she does at the end of Vanilla.
Post Vanilla she could have a similar thing as Ayrs - striking back at Zakuul on her on or possibly alongside him after losing the initial war. She doesn’t really fit well into the post-Zakuul story, for a variety of reasons.
5. What would their recruitment mission be?
Vanilla recruitment…hmm. I guess something along the lines of her being an escaped slave and so is wanted by the Empire or something. Not a great fit in that regard.
KOTFE/KOTET recruitment would be similar to Ayrs - stories of a lone Sith terrorizing Zakuulan civilians and military alike and not too concerned about a bodycount. Maybe her and Lana know each other from the war or something, to prompt Lana to suggest recruitment.
7. Would there be a character they don’t like? Would that cause you to choose sides?
She would absolutely detest any ardently pro-Empire, pro-Sith or pro-Jedi characters or companions. She would be disgusted with self-centered characters like Skadge or Vik or OCs (especially smugglers). She would not get along with the likes of Tharan or Doc…to be honest I think she’d probably dislike most of the companions and the feeling would likely be mutual.
She’s probably not a great fit with a companion crew in general given her uh personality quirks and personal opinions. Of my OCs she’d probably be okay-ish with Amurri (sans Skadge) or Ayrs after some therapy and/or during KOTFE/KOTET when he becomes a little less strictly Good morality wise.
9. What would they say if you clicked on them?
“Do that again and you won’t live long enough to regret it”, “Have you ever heard the sound of a person fried to a crisp by Force Lightning?”, “How far I have fallen to be associated with the likes of you.”
Also probably some threats to kill you.
11. What weapon(s) would they have?
A lightsaber (her father’s, if recruited late enough in the story) and the Force. She’s primarily a caster though.
13. What gifts do they Love? Like? What would they say when you gave them a gift?
Love:
Cultural artifacts - “There is always so much more to learn!” or “Knowledge is power”
Military - “Though our paths diverged it is like nothing has changed.”
Like:
Trophy - “I suppose this will have to do until my enemies’ heads can be mounted.”
Weapon - “Nothing compared to the Force, but this shall do.”
For other types she would sound mostly annoyed and like you were wasting her time. Especially courting gifts.
17. What letter’s would they send post vanillia class story/SOR/KOTFE
If recruited during the Vanilla story/she isn’t on the Council her letter(s) would probably thank the PC for giving her the chance to escape. Her KOTFE era letter would probably reflect her growing independence and desire for vengeance on Zakuul.
Canon Veresia’s letter would be short, condescending and mostly focus on how you should be the one working for her and that if you had been the war would have been over much sooner/more efficiently. It would also probably criticize your robe fashion if you are a Jedi.
If Ayrs was recruited too, you’d get a follow up message from him apologizing for her letter.
