reconstruction legacy + onion headlines, 2/? [1]
announcement! there is a padawan loose on tython, hide your problems before she solves them
@fluffyfebruary ‘23 01: hello
Dromund Kaas. A Sith fortress; private chambers. A four-poster bed with red velvet curtains, and a holocomm ping. The creak of a few syllables unpronounceable by humans, but very distinctly a groan; then an arm reached over, a button pressed, and an “Mm? Qet, it’s nine…”
“You said you were going to be diurnal this week.”
“Ah. Damn.”
🔵
Serenity, in orbit over a mid-rim world. Rumpled sleeping robes; a stretch and yawn. Meditation, and then the morning routine: underclothes, overclothes, hair plaited, lightsaber clipped onto sash, robe, jewellery. The Jedi leaves her small room, and smiles at the Trandoshan lying on the floor above the engine bay, basking in the heat radiating through the metal. “Good morning, Qyzen.”
“Little hunter, is not time for waking.”
A soft chuckle; “Of course. My apologies, Qy.” A guttural sort of growl sound, and the padding of footsteps as he’s left alone to finish waking.
🔵
Coruscant. A small apartment high up enough to see the sun. Sanewso smiles, blue hair rumpled, blue face smiling, and knuckles the sleep from his red eyes. Beside him, his husband wakes, and rolls over to look at him. “You sing delight,” murmurs Vector.
The Chiss takes the Joiner’s hand, and brings the knuckles up to his lips. “You… here. Here now. I have you.”
i don’t know about everyone else’s jedi consulars, but mine can’t really see arcann as a villain rather than a victim precisely because of what happened to master yuon and the other plagued masters - and, more pertinently, master syo/the first son of the emperor. she’s seen this role played before, and knows what’s going on behind the curtain.
(it may just be my jedi consular who reacts in that same way, but surely every jc’s relationship with arcann would be impacted by however they dealt with the first son.)
Mandated SWTOR Character Masterpost
Brider Surriss, Barsen’thor
Zabrak sage. Exemplifies the concept of a beautiful cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure. We’re talking about a “possible Ashla incarncation” level of goodness. One year younger than her own Padawan. Absolutely adores Syo Bakarn; they have a very solid father-daughter dynamic. Completely defensive combat style consisting of shielding herself and allies from harm.
Miurani’sanewso’sis
Sanewso, a House Miurani merit adoptive, raised largely by the old Keeper after his father’s execution. The last portion of his name is pronounced “senth-isk-senth,” not “sis,” because it’s theoretically “S.I.S.” He does desk work for the SIS on Coruscant after an emergency extraction from his posting as “Legate” in the Empire on medical grounds. Married to Vector Hyllus.
Irati (Wrath)
Nonverbal Human. Two hands, one for Vette and one for Malavai.
Atthilike
Big butch Zabrak sorcerer. Ran away from Zash to live in the Unfinished Colossus with other self-freed slaves. Eventually talked and fought her way into a place in the Sphere of Production and Logistics, where she works on abolition and audits other Sith, very violently, in the meantime. Rivalry with Qet.
Johqai
Tsis (”Sith Pureblood“) born without the Force, Johqai left behind his family name and became a bounty hunter. Initially intent on serving the Empire in one of the few ways he could, his conscience soon gets the better of his loyalty, and he’s walking a dangerous line. Protective and supportive big brother to Mako.
Aaliyah
Mirialan smuggler, incurable do-gooder, and tired middle-aged mom friend. Loves to hang out with Bowdaar.
Tsisajakqo Jenûwtsâkyat
At this point he counts as an OC. It’s Darth Vowrawn. He’s horrible, particularly in the all the ways he insists on being good. Traditionalist Kissai Tsis (“Sith Pureblood”) and a guardian of Tsis cultural heritage. Definitely not at all treasonous. Ignore the giant Ozymandias reference in the Dromund Kaas jungles, and definitely all of its implications (thank you, Qet).
master and (someone else’s) padawan on tython. alternatively: a girl and her dad.
[I.D.: A slightly blurred lineart drawing of Master Syo Bakarn and my Jedi Consular, Brider Surriss, from Star Wars: The Old Republic. The drawing is black lines on a white background, and it’s set during the prologue of the Consular story, when Brider is 16. Syo is a human man with a goatee, balding hair in a ponytail, and some wrinkles. Brider is a Zabrak with long plaited hair, horns, and facial tattoos. Brider is significantly shorter than Syo. They are both wearing Jedi robes (Syo’s are more elaborate), looking at each other, and smiling. Syo has an arm around Brider as if to guide her. End I.D.]
I am bad at thinking up questions but I *am* deeply curious now about the multiple Brider timelines 👁
Brider being my original Jedi OC, she exists in all of my star wars AUs, including ones set in the PT, where she's an Archivist under Jocasta Nu.
If Order 66 happens, she either dies immediately, ends up turning into a spooky person-eating forest on Iridonia, or becomes the Sixth Sister, an Inquisitor who sounds so reasonable and logical that you almost start to believe what she explains to you...
If Order 66 doesn't happen, she ends up becoming the Archives Mistress.
There are also time-travelling Briders, because this is Star Wars fanfiction. The best time-travelling Brider is the one who is a ghost working with the Resistance and pretending to be Leia's aide.
And there is, of course, Brider Surriss, Third Barsen'thor.
