I just want to say that I love the name for your newest au "Sense of Faith, Self & Valor" because those are qualities that are all visible differently in each character and yet also something that they desperately want to embody more of, Kallus with being Faithful and full of Valor yet having no true sense of self, Tua with Faith & Self but having no Valor, and He with Self and Valor but having to Faith because of how far he has fallen from what He used to be.

Friend, friend, MUN, when I tell you I had to break out into a sprint because of this in my inbox-

THANK YOU.

Much thanks to @mystical-salamander for helping us in naming this au because I was very much kicking myself in the ass for not having changed the label of Defectors AU early on when I realized 1- I was indeed going to add and expand upon the au more and 2-the og concept was definitely changing. Because this au is much more accurately defectors than the other one, but it's too far developed for me to detach it now. It's not getting a name change until the story is finished and I start posting the first chapter.

Salamander helped us with a large chunk of the name, and after the conversation I felt it was still missing one more crucial piece, so I added it.

And your reading about it is very correct.

Kallus has such a lack of Self, that his senses of Faith and Valor were increased to cover that but ultimately led to him allowing himself to make a line of the worst mistakes he can't take back or repair. He dedicated himself so much and so intensely that he allowed himself to be comfortable in blind faith.

Tua knows herself well and is very self aware. Her dedicating her faith and self was how she covered her lack of valor, but she couldn't hide that when things got intense, and in so, her faith wavered. Her sense of self didn't and that was how she ends up still continuing with faith, but her lack of valor still haunts her.

And for Him, he knows large portions of his self, and his valor is even greater. But his faith continuously has not been whole. His faith had wavered and weakened frequently in the jedi order, and he left at something after the Trials of Ahsoka Tano. He was always willing to step forth his valor for his sense of self, but his lack of faith still limits him. To the point now that it affects his self.

I'm very much looking forward to this au. I'm having it start around the time Kallus's loyalty to the empire has disintegrated, which in this au is maybe a few weeks or so after Bahryn, and a few more weeks before he starts trials to pick up the Fulcrum role&code name.

I very much look forward to not shutting the fuck up about this. I will drop more information after I've posted the first concept dump on ao3. In the meantime, I will answer any questions about this au. I'll be bouncing between this in our other WIPs&AUs frequently. Atm, this is just the one demanding our attention and getting our mental&emotional stability through working two jobs.

So remember this thing right here - the au with Tua and The Grand Inquisitor??? I'm throwing more onto the pile. [Later today I want to try and post the concept fic on ao3 finally for it-]

I'm going to be very self indulgent about the au again- but also

I like a lot of the themes we're playing around with it. There's a balance between the three of them that I'm figuring out.

Something something Sense of Faith, Sense of Self, and Sense of Valor.

The Grand Inquisitor no longer goes by that, but also can't even remember the time when he had a name. So throughout the story, tends to only go by He and Him. He battles with trying to scrap together a sense of identity along with trying to figure out faith. Kallus is so undeniably faithful- the man is unwavering. And Tua is so in tune with who she is, she knows who she is. He admires them, but is often jealous in the beginning.

Tua very much views herself as a coward, she's very self aware of that fact. She admires the valor that He and Kallus both have, to the point where she's inspired by them throughout the story.

Kallus struggles with the fact that his faith has always been so strong that he doesn't really have a strong grasp on his own sense of self. And he admires Tua for her knowing herself just as much as she admires him for his Valor.

Just something I'm playing around with and it's how I'm naming the au, it's going to be it's actual name. [Ngl I'm sort of kicking myself over the fact that this is very much Defectors AU, while the au that I have attached to that has changed from the original concept to the point where it doesn't really fit that descriptor any more. But it's fine, this one has its actual name.]

Sense of Faith, Self, & Valor
