The Nwythons (edited)
This one is really long so it’s all under the cut
Usatau Zasa: The Mirialan mother of Nonicia, Rhorira, Yonnul, Lumaili and Akiwo. She was known for her kindness and perseverance, even when things were tough. Some time after Yonnul was born, she and her children were sold to the Hutts, though she never knew who had done it. During their time there, she was visited by Malus on multiple occasions, though she wasn’t sure why or how he had found her. Part of her wondered if her unfortunate circumstances were caused by him and it caused some distrust between them. He handed off his sons by another woman and she cared for them as if they were her own children. The day he had approached her with another set of twins (only infants at the time, she had had enough of him abandoning his family. She and Malus argued over his wanting to take only the force-sensitive children from her, completely ignoring his other children. During the argument, she threw a pot of soup on him and threatened that she would do much worse if he ever came near her children again. She inevitably dies in childbirth with her youngest son.
Dev Shodon: A human pirate. He started his own crew after the old one left him in jail. Before being imprisoned, he met Usatau and wooed her. He was called back to business before receiving word that Usatau was pregnant. He struggled with the news for a while, but was put in prison before he made his decision on what to do. When he finally got out of prison, he decided to start his own pirate crew to take the galaxy by storm. He stole a ship and traveled the galaxy looking for people who were loyal and good at what they could do. During his hunt, he met Daesha, a wild twi’lek who picked his pocket and had gotten him thrown in jail for her crimes. After that, he asked her to join his crew. Some time later, he finally got the chance to meet his daughter, Nonicia. While he asked, she wasn’t too keen on giving up the smuggling business for a life of piracy, though she wasn’t opposed to running cons with him.
Nonicia Shodon: The eldest daughter of Usatau and the only child of Dev. Born on Mirial. Despite hardly having the chance to know her father when she was young, she wound up being just as troublesome. She struggled to see her own siblings as her family and relationships with them suffered horribly, particularly when they wound up on Hutta. She made her escape by managing to cheat a man out of his ship and using it to smuggle out 3 of her siblings. After that, she hunted down her father reunited with him.
Malus Nwython: A Mirialan Sith inquisitor. As sadistic and cruel as they come. He was fairly good at hiding his cruelty from most others, though Idrinas and Coryn saw through his disguise. He hoped to prove that his bloodline was strong with the force and that his children would prove it, though few of them were born force sensitive. He had met Larana at the academy, Rainee in the Dromund Kaas markets and Usatau on Mirial. While he had several children, he never liked all the variables involved and instead chose to use his growing knowledge of genetic-engineering to create what he hoped would be the perfect force-user, winding up with Numelia and Uliccol, whom he handed off to Usatau. On multiple occasions, he was told to keep away from his children, but he was convinced that those who were worthy would find their way back. He managed to reclaim his sons Lotharel and Uliccol, though his daughter, Numelia remained cautious of him. He kept the twins very separate from Lotharel. Having hoped for his force-sensitive children to have found him, he took the chance to test something on Uliccol and Numelia, attempting to artificially give them the force. Numelia figured it out and left and his experiments continued on Uliccol. Lotharel was manipulated in other ways, having been told he was the last survivor of his siblings. Eventually, his children discover the truth. He dies at the hand of Yonnul during a battle.
Rhorira Nwython: The second child of Usatau and the first of Malus. Born on Mirial and raised primarily by her mother. Secretly, she enjoys knitting. She learned to be calm and kind from her, but not how to cook. She is as kind as they come and has a strong sense of right and wrong. Of all of her siblings, she is the one who looks and acts the most like her mother. When Nonicia made her mad dash off of Hutta, Rhori also escaped, smuggling her new baby brother out as well. She did her best to raise him alone, though she wanted to join the Republic military academy. Eventually he convinced her to send him off to a boarding school so they could both pursue their dreams. While she had high marks in the academy, she generally found herself toe-to-toe with Sivan Ailat. She worked hard, becoming the commanding officer of Nexu Squad. Being competitive, she challenged Sivan (whom she had never gotten the chance to meet) and Havoc Squad. During this competition, Rhori develops quite the crush on Sivan. In her personal life, she tries to maintain the peace between her siblings, though she found it incredibly hard to do when she found the death records of Uliccol and Numelia and had to pass the news to Yonnul. Things changed when she was looking at the information on the Republic’s most wanted and recognized the name and face of her little sister. She worked to reconnect with Numelia and Uliccol. She does, eventually, ask out her long-time crush and they begin a relationship. (She and Sivan do get married and live very happily together)
Yonnul Nwython: The second child between Malus and Usatau and the first of Malus’s children to be born force-sensitive. He never actually liked his father and gave him one of the many scars on his face when the man tried to take him for training. He was one of the ones to escape Hutta with Rhori and Nonicia after Usatau passed. Instead of following his sisters, he turned to the jedi to be trained. He worked hard and followed the code for a time, but it didn’t last. Instead he pursued a relationship with a fellow jedi named Sicarth, which ended after a battle the two both fought in where Yonnul lost his right arm. The stress from that and the news that two of his young siblings had died on Hutta sent him on a downward spiral where he picked up drinking and no longer cared for the code, though he never left the jedi. Eventually (after many frustrating incidents) he earned the rank of master and a seat on the council. His padawan is Pitha Batiss. He and his best friend, Hemile Kairn, wind up meeting in a bar (and going on a wild adventure) before going on a mission together with the spy, Theron Shan. Yonnul and Hemile became roommated and had a tendency to throw large parties in their shared home. They end up both dating Theron Shan (and tormenting Yonnul’s family).
Larana Cyress: The only daughter of a Sith lord and and Imperial Intelligence agent. Mirialan-human Sith lord. She was tricked by Malus into believing that he wasn’t truly as cruel as he was. She had a brief affair with Idrinas while they were both at the academy. It ended mutually and they remained good friends. She was the only one who knew of Idrinas’s affair with Lan Cai while it was going on. Around that time, she herself had an affair with Malus shortly before she realized the truth about him, resulting in twin boys. Her refusal to let him be a part of their lives was the ultimate betrayal to him and he decided to take her out of the picture. Unknown to anyone, she had survived the encounter (though she was badly wounded). She was taken in by the Grey Force-user enclave and nursed back to health. She remains there for the most part, though she is desperately searching for her sons. She falls in love with the woman who saved her life, later marrying her and adopting her daughter as her own. Some time in the future, her sons find her in the enclave.
Loreqo Cyress: The elder twin of Lotharel. After the supposed death of his mother, Loreqo and Lotharel refused to believe it and didn’t listen to any of their father’s demands. Because of this, Malus handed them off to Usatau, where he could keep an eye on them without having to actually put up with them. They forged a bond with their half-siblings and their adoptive mother, though they maintained that their mother was still alive and that she would come for them and would help Usatau off of Hutta. (Loreqo still believes that, had Larana found them there, she would have saved them). After Usatau’s passing, they were uncertain of what to do, considering the fact that Malus probably was aware of her death and they were determined not to fall back into his grasp. They asked someone to keep an eye on Numelia and Uliccol until Nonicia came for them before they took the chance to run to the Republic and joined the jedi. The two were inseparable and annoyed most of their instructors. During their first mission with their master, they and another padawan, Fallastia, ran off to prove that they could be trusted in a fight. The other padawan pushed Lotharel off a ledge and Loreqo lost all control, attacking her pretty brutally for harming his twin. He was caught in all of it and the order questioned him but he refused to speak from that moment on. Realizing his own weakness and spite towards the jedi, he ran away from the order, travelling the galaxy to find out what kind of person he might be without his brother. When he traveled to Miral, he found Usatau’s family, delivering the news of her passing in a written letter. After a time, he found himself travelling a particular pathway through the galaxy, selling his wares and keeping his identity as a former jedi a secret. It is during his travels that he meets Ghiwa, a Nautolan merchant, and (perhaps more importantly) Emin. The visits from Emin were always the most looked forward to, though he only rarely spoke to her (nonverbal communication had become common for him). Though there was a rough patch and building trust took quite a bit of time, he and Emin began a relationship. While he was mostly silent still, he did start speaking to her. He becomes more talkative when he receives a call from Lotharel.
Lotharel Cyress: The younger twin of Loreqo. After his fall, Lotharel woke up, badly wounded, on a medical ship with a seemingly distraught Malus. Lotharel’s memory was incredibly fuzzy and it was easy for Malus to pretend that he was looking for him and that he had been travelling the galaxy, looking for his only remaining child. Lotharel wasn’t sure how much to believe and inquired after Loreqo’s whereabouts. He was told that his brother had been killed by the jedi and that his other siblings had never made it off of Hutta. He became Malus’s apprentice after that, though he was suspiciously kept away from Dromund Kaas and Korriban. He fought in many battles in his father’s name. During on of these battles, he met Keth Bresek. She had asked him to run away with her, but, afraid of the unknown, he stayed with the Sith, which he later came to regret. After that, he focused on his work and became a brilliant strategist and warrior. He learned to respect Mandalorians early on, despite his father’s warnings. During one of his battles, he was reunited with Keth when he called for Mandalorian assistance. While he was uncertain of what to say or do in the situation, it was clear to him that he still harbored feelings for her, but wasn’t sure if he should bring it up to her, assuming that they had missed their chance (In fact, they had not). It was not long after that Lotharel met another unexpected person from his past, his younger brother Uliccol. This raised questions about what all his father had told him for years. He discovered that his siblings were alive, including Loreqo. He was made to call his family, ending with his twin. During another battle after this, Malus called Lotharel for aid in a fight, but he never provided it, giving Yonnul the chance to end his life for it.
Udo Lithal: A quiet worker on a cargo ship. He was kind to Usatau, but it was obvious early on that he was not interested in maintaining a long-term relationship with her. He was very pleased at the news of his daughter and would bring her things from all the places he had been. When Usatau passed away, he helped Lumaili escape to Republic space, where she was found by the jedi. He keeps an eye on her accomplishments and is always open to talking with her over a cup of caf.
Lumaili Lithal: The daughter of Udo and Usatau. She was born a force sensitive and was allowed to maintain communication with her father. She adored his visits, though they were few and far between. She would listen to the stories of great Jedi and was amazed by them. When the Jedi take her in, she keeps very strictly to the code, though her way of showing it comes off as fairly snobbish. She doesn’t agree with the lifestyles of her siblings at all and makes it well known.
Uliccol Nwython: Twin brother of Numelia. Genetically-engineered by Malus. He has a genius-level intellect and is a bit of an artist. After the others had left Hutta, he and his twin sister waited for the promised return of Nonicia, who never came back for them. While Uliccol wanted to wait longer, his twin had enough of waiting and convinced him that they should leave the planet. Using his expertise, he sliced into their records and listed them both as dead. After that, they stowed away on a supply ship and traveled to Imperial territory so they could search for their father. When they found Malus, Numelia was not impressed and wanted to leave, but Uliccol wished to stay. He worked hard to impress his father, but nothing seemed to work. When he was 17, he changed documents again to make him seem old enough to join Imperial Intelligence. He works as a watcher for a time, doing odd jobs for Sith who recognized his skill. His trust in Malus is shaken when he finds Lotharel during a job he was helping Darth Occulus (Talaar) with. This caused him to raise some questions and rebel against his father, particularly after he had fallen in love with Talaar. They leave the Empire, staying with Numelia. During his time living with his sister, she encouraged him to look into Malus’s other files, where he discovered many of his father’s dark secrets and that he and Numelia were both the products of genetic-engineering.
Numelia Nwython: Twin sister of Uliccol. Genetically engineered by Malus When she was a child, she was trained to fix things. Because of her small size, she was able to easily fit into spaces that others couldn’t. She kept faith that her sister would come for them for a long time before finally realizing that she would never return for them and telling Uliccol that they needed to make their escape. She was the one who figured out how to remove the collars on them and plotted their escape. She managed to steal a blaster from a guard before they stowed away. When they reached Malus, she was immediately wary of them and was the only one to realize what he was doing. After running away, she ran into a strange Zabrak, Rishuud, in the Dromund Kaas spaceport. He took her in and showed her the ropes of bounty hunting as a member of his crew (along with characters such as Eryata, Nundhiasa and Emlaiyalia). She stayed with him for some time before deciding that it was perhaps best to go and do her own thing. She winds up joining the Great Hunt, where she was mentored by Keth, and later became the Grand Champion (later she accepts the chance to become Mandalorian) She is contacted by Uliccol after she is named the Republic’s Most Wanted because she was recognized by one of their sisters. Having no love for the Hutts or slavers, she spent her time hunting down who she could, running into Talus in the process. Despite their differences, they became friends and she introduced hum to her old crew. She marries Torian Cadera and has 4 children. She does keep in contact with her old crew and sometimes continues to run jobs with them.
Orar Askaari: A human Mandalorian. He had seen Usatau’s argument with Malus and had watched her throw the soup and later throw the empty pot after him in a rage. He recovered the pot and returned it to her, asking if she needed help with anything. The two became friends after. He respected the boundaries that she had set and would visit her between jobs, offering his help with her many children to give her some much needed rest. In secret, he was working out how to free them all. Openly, he genuinely cared for all of them. This went on for just over a year before she was open to a strange courtship. It was when she told him that she was going to have his child that he knew he would have to put his plans in motion. Before he could, he was called to battle, but he swore he would return when he was able. He kept in contact, sending letters to Usatau, inquiring about her well being and how the children were faring. He found it suspicious when the letters stopped abruptly. When he finally returned to Hutta for them, none of them were there. Looking at death records, he found that his beloved had died in childbirth and that there had been no record of whether or not the child had survived (though the consensus was that they hadn’t). He also found the death records or Uliccol and Numelia. It is only when Numelia becomes Mandalore’s chosen and confronts her that he discovers his son is still alive and finally gets the chance to meet him.
Akiwo Nwython: The youngest son of Usatau. He was smuggled off of Hutta by Rhorira, who had told neighbors on the planet that he had died with Usatau. Rhorira raised him on her own and hardly spoke of their past. He began to think of her as his mother instead of his sister. She kept him safe and made sure that he was well educated, but it became obvious to him that she wanted more than to be a single mother working odd jobs. He had known from a young age that he wanted to go into then line of diplomacy and found a school specializing in it. She hesitated, but Akiwo assured her it was for the best. Not much happened during that time. He kept in contact with Rhorira and studied hard, returning home during his breaks. During his visits, he met Yonnul’s apprentice, Pitha, and Sivan’s brother, Sahdrein. They all became fast friends, being the same age. He started dating Pitha some time before they both agreed that they wanted to ask Sahdrein to be a part of their relationship. They maintain a loving polyamorous relationship and are finally all married. He one day is contacted by Orar and finally gets the chance to speak to his father and understand the truth.
Bonus!
Rainee Ordan: A Republic SIS agent who found herself on Dromund Kaas on a mission. During her time there, she had unknowingly gained the attention of a sith lord. As a way to gather more information, she took the opportunity to begin a relationship with Malus. While she kept up the ruse for a time, she was eventually found out by him. She attempted to run, but was caught. Little know what happened to her after. (In truth, the man had several clones made of her. Whether or not she is still alive to this day is uncertain).
Cryzsata: One of the clones of Rainee. While some were seen as perfect clones, Cryz was not one of them. She was wild and always a little too on edge all the time. Still, Malus kept her and had her train as a spy. She excelled at seeing things that the others couldn't pick up on. After some debate, he shipped her and the other of his favorite clones to Imperial Intelligence, giving her the name Tenmo. She detested the name, what he had done and some of the work she was being made to do. She instead ran away and surrendered to the SIS, giving her name as Cryzsata. Cryzs came from her pronouncing CRS (cloned Republic spy) out loud. She gave all the information she had on the inner workings of the Empire, but had ruined any chance at being a double agent when she had left. She now works for the SIS. Those who knew Rainee find it hard to see a difference between Cryzsata and her genetic source.
Guilialia: Malus's favorite of the clones of Rainee. Considered to be the perfect clone of her. She is pragmatic and well-behaved. She was raised to be the perfect spy, but, unlike Cryzsata, she never really discovered what Malus had done or what he was up to. While she worked with Uliccol on occasion, she never mentioned about Malus and just continued with business as usual.
Sera Nwython: Older sister of Malus. She was wise and kind, but never made it off of Korriban. Her death was ruled accidental, but several mysterious circumstances raised some questions with her family. She and Malus were never close.
Artus: The eldest son of Numelia and the only of her children to be force-sensitive. He excels at close-combat and was taught the ways of the force by several relatives. While he was curious about joining the Jedi for a time, most everyone warned him off of it (including those who were jedi). He uses the force only as a last resort. He is trained by Cekke, Talaar and Yonnul.
Naiad: the second son of Numelia. Known for being a wild prankster and always getting himself into trouble that his mother has to bail him out of. He took after her more than either of them are willing to admit, picking up a blaster and learning the skills of a pyrotech. He never stopped being a troublemaker.
Cecima: The only daughter of Numelia. She is quiet and quick, always keeping an eye out for an opening. She worked to become a sharpshooter, taking the role of sniper at a fairly young age. She takes pride in her skill that she earned through pure determination. While she doesn’t prefer a more hands-on fight, she is definitely skilled enough.
Ritosh: The youngest son of Numelia. When he was born, something went wrong. It nearly killed Numelia and left him blind. While he was never made to feel like an outcast, he was constantly concerned that he would not fit in with his Mandalorian family. He attempted to run away from home on multiple occasions, but was always caught by his parents. He is trained by his father and brother in hand-to-hand combat.
Daesha Tualin: Female twi’lek. The first mate of Dev Shodon’s crew. She gained that honor when she got him thrown in prison after she stole his wallet. No one knows her real name, and she created the name she goes by. Despite their rocky beginnings, Daesha and Dev have a relationship resembling that of siblings rather than crewmates. Little is known about her except that she is from Ryloth.
