so umm just chiss OC with albinism real quick because i still like my old h/c that explains how chiss can also be different and have different races like people do

he's a researcher working for vault four and studying stuff from other cultures (but actually he's just a funny guy)

the h/c, if anyone interested (i've melted new and old canons here):

1. i don't really know about csilla so much but let's pretend that in the pre-space era there were two kinds of chiss: the one lived on the surface and the other lived underneath the ice. the second tribes lived in a very difficult environment, so all this thousands of years they were focused on survival, on keeping their traditions and myth rather then on progress or technologies. also because they hadn't had enough light they had lighter skin, colourless hair and eyes.

2. the 'surface' chiss were progressing instead. they reached space and started to colonize other planets (and this is why most of the chiss nowadays have blue skin and dark hair and 'colourless' chiss are rare). but in this deep ages not only chiss civilization existed in the unknown regions. chiss were spotted by empire of zakuul.

3. force - sensitive individual was treated differently in both zakuul and chiss cultures. so when chisses became part of empire's colonies they gave it resources and economical/political support, but they didn't give it their gifted girls and most important technologies. all of this was hidden back on csilla, under the ice surface. they had to make an agreement with their (can i say albinos? it fits) relatives, they shared technologies with them and married on them. this is how new chiss aristocracy was born.

4. but later on, when zakuul empire was gone, the chiss society had a hard time returning peace and order to chiss domination. noble families were fighting between each other, new houses raised, some old blooded houses was forgotten and some decided to take a step back to survive.

4. so now albinos chiss is an unusual thing to see, it's eather some random distant relative of those families, or straight up government agent no one knows about

As promised: one Ar'lani in a Platok, and Thalias WITH Che'ri in kokoshniza's. A personal HC came to me while drawing: The kokoshniza in Chiss Culture are given or created at the end of a Sky-Walker's service as a Navigator. Colors are chosen by the Sky-walker themselves and can even lay out a design for creators to follow.

I'll probably post this elsewhere and see if I can't boost the quality of the image somewhat. Thanks for the artistic inspiration. I cant wait to read your Headcanons.

sorry it took me a while to write those down.

Ar'alani received her platok from her grandfather. He wanted to gift her something special after finishing Taharim academy and so she got a family heirloom. The Platok used to belong to her late grandmother.

The pattern on Ar'alani's platok is regionally specific for the Irizi family and their home region. The depicted flowers on the delicate fabric only grew there before the climate shift and Chiss expansion.

The Shape of the Kokoshnik for the skywalkers depends on the planet they come from.

When finishing school chiss kids get fine clothes as a gift so that they can look good in pictures and feel nice on their graduation day. HOWEVER it's not that uncommon for those who want to marry young that these fine clothes double as wedding wear.

Thalias refused to do that for Che'ri and just got her pretty clothes for the day the skywalker would have finished school. She remembered getting told she would marry soon as a 16 year old and hated that feeling of obligation so she wanted for Che'ri to have more freedom.

Young couples traditionally get engaged in spring so that they can marry in the finer, warmer weather of summer in the outdoors. even now with the Chiss living on different planets with different environmental conditions or in caves with artificial suns an outdoor wedding in warm weather is considered the norm. therefore, due to its mostly mild climate Celvis has the biggest wedding industry in the Chiss Ascendancy.

Jumping over fire together after an engagement is considered good luck.

Ar'alani got asked once if she wants to get married. She replied only if she would not throw a bouquet but just turn around and 'pick a next victim'. Nobody asked her since.

sorry it took me so long. i love the art work. 💙

What if Ar'alani and Thrawn fell in love?

My job - the sole reason for my existence - is to defend the Chiss Ascendancy and protect my people. I will do whatever is necessary to achieve that goal, and I will allow nothing and no one to stand in my way. Do you understand?
