My Trooper - Deitente Verrni!

Deitente's name is a play on the French word "détente" - aka "the relaxation of strained relations or tensions (as between nations)" as defined by Merriam Webster - combined with "Dei" from the Latin for "god" or "deity." It's meant to be something of a cosmic joke on my part that the leader of Havoc Squad would be named for the divine and a deescalation of hostilities, but it's also supposed to reflect Deitente's own futile hopes for the future of the galaxy - a divine deescalation, or something so farfetched as to be impossible.

She wasn't always so jaded - as a child she believed that perhaps one day the Republic would win or at least make true peace with the Empire. This was in part influenced by her family - her cousin Shurir Verrni was a Jedi for much of her adolescence, and her father was a soldier in the Republic Army. So as a young Cathar kit growing up in a decidedly middle-class family on Coruscant, she had rose-colored glasses on from an early age. However, Deitente got to experience the Sacking and destruction of the Jedi Temple first-hand as a teenager. It was a formative experience for her - Shurir perished in Sith attack, and her father's spine was broken when rubble fell on him, permanently removing him from active duty. Unlike with some of my other characters however, the shock and horror of that experience did not change her beliefs - instead, it only solidified her patriotism. It just opened her eyes to the necessity of the Republic victory over the Sith at any cost, and led to her ultimately joining the Republic Army, following in her father's footsteps.

Deitente's character outlook is one of grimfaced necessity combined with compassion - she refuses to throw away Republic lives for no reason, and she does all she can to avoid civilian deaths, but she's also painfully aware that she can't save everyone. To her, her duty to protect the Republic - especially it's citizens - is more important than personal morality, and she if she has to sacrifice one for the good of many- then that's what she'll do, even if the decision destroys her.

Personality-wise, Deitente is very much what a good officer should be on the outside, all efficiency and duty and professional stoicism. Furthermore, she cares deeply about her team, even Tanno unfortunately, and she's a woman of her word - as the commanding officer of Havoc, she will see to it that her team is treated right, even if she has to take the fall herself. There won't be another Dagger Wing on her watch - when the time comes she'll sacrifice herself to spare the others. And she doesn't take shit from anyone (least of all annoyingly handsome Cathar Lieutenants or a certain General) but beneath the tough-love type of exterior there a playful side that she wishes had more opportunity to see daylight.

When she has a few moments to rest, Deitente usually...doesn't. She prefers unwinding at her favorite cantinas or trying new restaurants or visiting historical landmarks to staying in and bingeing the latest holodramas - she knows that her job is dangerous, and she wants to experience life to the fullest, just in case hers is cut short. And after she marries Aric, this is just an excuse to go on dates all the time, so it all works out anyway.

She ends up commanding the Republic Special Forces Division by the time of the KOTXX expansions, and is the only one of my characters to stay unswervingly loyal to the Republic (unlike Kalvonût, whose priority is the Jedi Order) - though she does noticeably turn a blind eye when her husband and Havoc Squad defect to join the Eternal Alliance.

Will Deitente and Aric have children?

If so how many and what would they be like as parents?

Also what is Elen’s relationship like with Kaliyo and would she abandoned her on a backwater planet like Kayden?

Deitente and Aric definitely end up having an entire litter of kids - at least four, if not five or six! (I headcanon Cathar having twins or triplets about 60-70% of the time rather than single kits) It works out okay once Deitente makes Republic Spec Ops General, given that ends up as mostly as a deskside/tactical job while Aric is out with Havoc Squad. They have to swap out single-parenting sometimes though - being dual-military is tough - and that also means they both have similar parenting styles, as it's something they've extensively discussed and settled between them.

They both have high expectations of their kids - good grades in school, good behavior outside the home, helping out around the house especially when they're down a parent due to work - but they're forgiving of honest mistakes and do everything in their power to help their kids succeed with goals the kids set for themselves. And of course they'll trust their kids to do the right thing, but if one of their kids knowingly breaks their trust by, for example, getting involved with spice? Then it's hard to get that trust back, and Deitente and Aric would have no qualms letting their kids learn a hard lesson if it's needed.

As for Elennye's relationship with Kaliyo - Elennye is a chameleon, so she and Kaliyo get along fairly well. However, Elennye is thoroughly loyal to the Empire, so the second Kaliyo outlived her usefulness it would have been an amiable goodbye. (And "amiable goodbye" here means that once Elennye gets the Black Codex and fucks off to take over the Star Cabal as a loosely-Imperial shadow power, she blackmails Kaliyo into staying fucking quiet about the former Cipher 9, and drops her off on a planet of her choice with plenty of credits. It's the nicest "talk and you're a dead man walking" Kaliyo's probably ever gotten. It pisses Kaliyo off, of course, but it's not a blaster bolt to the skull so.)

Thank you for the ask!!

Crescent Moon Rising - Surrender (WIP)

Okay! This is the full draft section from the Six Sentence Sunday Snippet that I posted earlier. It IS subject to revision, of course, but as for right now this is The Plan!

Context: Corrain is the only member of his crew that is trapped on board the Emperor's Fortress when the mission to Redeem the Emperor goes horribly wrong. He's taken prisoner, tortured, and when the Emperor's Child Force-brainfuckery fails, he's put under Castellan mind-control and given an implanted shock collar. He and Scourge escape a year and a half later by stealing an Imperial Shuttle - and the Emperor's Hand promptly put a Blacklist bounty on Corrain's head. Only, they don't want people to know their pet Jedi has gotten loose, so they falsify the mark. Astayr (BH, LS) takes it, chases them down to Nar Shaddaa - and Kessin (Smuggler, Neutral) is recruited to get them in contact with the Jedi and Republic. They end up meeting on Alderaan- and Corrain surrenders to the Republic by tossing Kira his lightsabers, and my Consular takes custody of him. (Five of my OCs are present at this exchange)

The glow of angry ruby plasma sizzled in the air, one of his lightsabers glowing in Kira’s hands, and suddenly cloying, choking anxiety clawed at the inside of his chest, nauseating guilt grinding his stomach into pulp as the dawning horror broke over her face. She stared wordlessly at the bled blade, and then, as Jun turned to her with a raised eyebrow, he saw the glitter of moisture on her eyelashes, visible even from meters away behind the transparisteel visor of the mask sitting heavy on his face, hiding his identity. At his side, Scourge stood silent, the Force an iron wall about him even as Corrain could feel power crackling through his entire body like poison, burning as it went, the numb fear-fury feeding its advance a knot of pain in his chest. Behind him somewhere, Kessin’s soft inhale of horror echoed the cracking facade his friend- former friend, former Padawan - wore across a trembling lower lip.

He wanted to comfort her, to tell her it was insignificant, an easily-fixable mistake. He wanted to yank his lightsabers back into his hands, draw them both, send the now-reddened lightsaber blades spinning into Scourge’s neck, just to be sure he couldn’t drag Corrain back to that hellhole Fortress and tear him apart again- just to be sure- He wanted to cry, to curl up in a dark corner somewhere and waste away. He wanted it all to disappear, the past year little more than a vivid nightmare, for him to awaken whole and free. He wanted to rage, to break things - fragments of his whole past - into pieces so small they could never all be collected. He wanted to take Vitiate and tear him apart, watch him choke on his own blood - he wanted the everpresent threat to his free will destroyed.

And yet- he knew this haunting rage would only upset Kira. It would upset T7, upset Doc and Kess and Kalvo maybe even Rusk, even if it was only because they knew a version of him that was kind and naive and committed to the Jedi over everything else, rather than this bitter, angry shell. And it paralyzed him, made him doubt himself, even as the familiar cold shadows of the Dark Side called to him, swelling through him like a flood through a funnel, feeding off the terror threatening to drown him. But there wasn’t any other choice for him, not anymore. Not after he’d let the spark in his heart explode into a storm of lightning, not after Vitiate had torn open his mind and dragged out the cruelty and darkness buried so deep within in him, not after he’d been stripped of everything that had made him who he was. Not after he’d been pressed into the mold of a Sith and come out a broken puppet with blood on its hands. Vitiate had to die for him to be free again, and for that he had to be strong. But even his Fall hadn’t freed him from the Emperor - it had only proved he was dangerous, that the darkness inside him needed to be choked off, strangled at its source. And yet - and yet he did not know if he could let go. If he could once again be the person that Master Orgus had trained.

Master Orgus.

He choked on his breath suddenly at the memory, emotion cresting high and tight against the back of his throat. His master, who had tried to protect him from beyond the grave. Who had asked Kaedan to look out for him, who had trained Bengal Morr, the only Jedi that had tried to rescue him. Orgus, who had died trying to shield him from Darth Angral. The man who had believed in him, so fiercely that his spirit followed him into the heart of the Sith Empire and reached for him there, even as he was lost in the dark, eyes glowing yellow. And now Kira, who was looking at the corrupted lightsabers in her hands like her world was falling apart. Kira, who’d defied the Emperor twice and won, who’d thrown away everything she’d known at ten years old. The Padawan he’d been so incredibly fortunate to help train, now a Knight, who had held him while he’d cried after Orgus had died. Kira, who’d stood at his side until he’d fallen to the Emperor’s lightning and ordered her to run. And Kalvonût - the Jedi who had been as his elder brother for so long, carefully helping him through the loss of Master Orgus, gentle even in the face of his grieving anger. The man who had nothing but kindness in his heart, even when the only words Corrain could muster were cruel or despairing. And Kessin, who had sent them stupid holomemes ever since their first meeting on Tython, who had come for him even when he was for all intents and purposes Sith, when they hated Sith more than anything else.

For them, he could try. He could try to be the person he once was, for their sake. He had to.

“...Kira?” he said, hating the uncertain tremor in his voice and the grating muffled sound that his mask overlaid on each word. She looked up from the lightsaber then, flicked the blade off and let the deep ruby beam of plasma disappear. Across the soft plain, Jun paused, and Master Kaedan cocked his head to the side, both visibly confused by his focus on the young Knight. But she just shook her head, hooking his surrendered lightsabers onto her belt, eyes still wet even as she laughed, voice thick with grief.

“...Did…did you do this? To my master’s lightsabers?” she whispered then, the dark azure of her gaze pinned to the eye plating of his mask. At his side, Scourge stood silent, true to his word that he would say nothing of Corrain’s choice, merely watching. The cold metal in the back of his neck burned, a reminder of the price of defiance. A price he’d pay over and over again, if it meant he could do something to undo what had been done to him.

“The Emperor did,” he answered, voice still tremulous and faint, and on his other side he could feel the waves of horror of Kessin’s dawning realization. “He broke the kyber crystals, bled them so I wouldn’t have anything left of who I once was. And then…he…he broke me too.”

It was now or never, and so he reached up, hooking gloved fingers under the lip of his mask and pressing the release catches. Cool Alderaanian air stung his burning gaze, chilling the dampness of tears on his cheeks into frost as the seal broke. Churning fear bubbled under his skin, the crackling draw of the Dark tugging at him. But- they deserved to know. Kira deserved to know. Satele too, and Kalvonût. And so, hands shaking, he pulled the helmet over his head, letting long white hair spill free, and dropped the mask onto the soft soil below his boots. Scourge clicked his tongue in mild disapproval, shaking his head irritably. But there was a certain begrudging admiration there too, deeply hidden in the dark burn of his presence in the Force.

“I suppose we never could snuff out that last little spark of light in you, Jedi, no matter how far you Fell,” the Sith scoffed, ignoring the sudden shock rippling off the Jedi across from them, and the mild surprise of the Mandalorian hunter watching them from the trees, horror mixed with relief and joy evident in their expressions. Kaedan in particular looked stricken, the ashes of his promise with Orgus blowing away in a cold Alderaanian breeze. And then Kira took a shaky step forward.

“Corrain?” she called, uncertainly, recoiling slightly when his gaze met hers, once-grey eyes poisoned with golden yellow. He flinched on instinct, tension pulling on his every muscle, cloying terror creeping up the back of his throat again. Since when had he flinched at shadows, and feared the Jedi?

“...I’m sorry I took so long, Kira,” he forced out, blood pounding in his ears. He blinked as the mountainous horizon blurred - another frigid arc curved down his cheek. Kira’s face was a sudden smudge, all the emotion currently pent up inside him finally starting to boil over, escaping. The frigid burn of the metal implants against his spine ached then, and he had to fight back a wave of raw dread, irrationally expecting pain to explode through his head and down his back, searing him from the inside out. The air felt thin suddenly, weak, like there wasn’t enough oxygen saturating the atmosphere. “I-I’m sorry…I c-couldn’t-”

The clack of heavy weaponry being put away suddenly echoed across the plain, the Republic soldiers - Deitente? Was that Havoc Squad? - all holstering their weapons at a gesture from their leader, her feline blue eyes bright with understanding, and then Kalvonût strode forward, raw compassion like a sun shining from behind his face, so bright he had to duck away. The Sith Jedi reached out slowly, movements deliberately lethargic as if to give him time to pull away, and as he set both hands on Corrain’s shoulders, gentle and grounding, a soft curtain of peace and stillness fell over the chaotic roaring in his ears. He choked on his own breath, the panic and grief and pain rising in his chest clashing with Kalvonût’s gentle aura, friction vibrating in the air between them. He could feel the sparks starting to form in his palms, shadows gathering to cool his blood.

“Kalvo- I-”

“It’s all right, Corrain,” he said gently, and after a few slow heartbeats Kalvonût gently pulled him in, wrapping both arms around him protectively. The shadows at his back wavered- dissipated- and then broke, and Kalvonût’s presence around him swept warmly into the void at his back. “Breathe. You’re alive. And you’re safe now.”

Just for fun, what do you think your Legacy. would think of my sith warrior, Tyrrnith? As in, how'd they see him, would they get along with him, ect? You can list as many or as few of your OCs as you want.

You're gonna get all of them then, LMAO! Moonrise Legacy takes on the Zarmahan.

Corrain: Depends on when they would meet, to be honest. If it's baby-Jedi Corrain, prior to the Vitiate Trauma, he'd just be confused. Praven kind of baffled him, and since Tyr's a pretty honorable Sith, it would only deepen that confusion. They'd get along eventually, it would just take Corrain time to figure out how the fuck he felt about it.

However, if Corrain first meets Tyr as the *Emperor's Wrath* rather than the *Empire's Wrath* - he's almost certainly never going to trust Tyr, ever. That first impression will stay with him far too long, and his hatred of Vitiate/Valkorion never truly fades - it's a scar he carries for the rest of his life. Meeting Tyr around JK chapter 3 or Ilum would mean Tyr gets caught up in that association.

But if they meet around the SoR or KOTXX point, he's likely to want to reach out - he'd see Tyr as someone who sticks to his ideals and he respects that a lot. They wouldn't see eye to eye, but that's something Corrain values because it challenges him to think outside the box. They'd probably have some pretty decent conversations.

Kalvonut: Kalvonut would probably be conflicted. He's extremely diplomatic and actively avoids confrontation where he can, so they'd 'get along' for the most part, but Kalvo would see Tyr as the embodiment of the culture he never had a connection to. As a Pureblood Sith taken in by the Jedi after his Revanite mother was killed by the Dark Council, trying to learn about Sith customs would be almost certainly viewed with suspicion by the Republic (though not the Jedi, per se) and so he stayed away.

Actually, on second thought? If Tyr isn't patient they probably wouldn't click - Kalvonut would almost certainly bombard him with questions. He's a massive nerd, lmao.

Kessin: They'll shoot him in the face before anything, unless Corrain or someone else they trusted told them to back off. It doesn't really matter when - they never trust Sith. Ever. Tyr would never be able to prove himself to Kessin, even if he wanted to.

Deitente: She can respect Tyr's sense of honor, but she'd view him more as a formidable opponent than anything else. So she'd respect him as a warrior and enemy, but that's about it - she's too loyal to the Republic to ever befriend him.

Eiri: They'd probably get along, to be honest. Eiri doesn't give a rat's ass about the Empire (because he's not Imperial, he's Zakuulan, and he maintains that identity) but he'd be able to respect that Tyr does. He'd also be the most comfortable in the face of Tyr's aloofness, as he's a fairly laid-back guy - he doesn't mind awkward conversations or silences or anything of the sort. He makes them comfortable, honestly.

Sekulyn: She'd see Tyr as a threat, and just for that she'd respect him. Even more so after they become Darth Occlus and rise to the Dark Council. They don't have a code of Sith honor in the traditional sense - but they don't half-ass it when going up against formidable opponents, and they wouldn't spare any effort if they had to take Tyr down. As long as they share the same goal, however - keeping the Empire strong (and therefore Sekulyn's powerbase secure) - then they'd get along fine. Probably pretty damn well, all things considered.

Elennye: She'd begrudgingly like Tyr. He puts the Empire first - as she does - and isn't one of the fuckhead Sith whose power struggles are tearing apart the Empire from the inside. Not to mention he's not a jackass about aliens. She'd gladly offer her services as the Star Cabal leader/Information broker to him when he needs them, as long as it doesn't fuck with Vaylin and Zakuul.

Astayr: Honorable Sith are a decent sort, and he's good in a fight, so xey would be more than happy to work with him if he's willing to pay hir fee. Plus, xey know that xey can trust any bounties he pays xem to take out to be fair play - there's not going to be falsified info or coercion (of Astayr) involved. Xey might be too rowdy for him though - xey would almost certainly try to get him to shoot net'ra gal with them and the other Mandalorians LMFAO

Thanks for the ask! I love Tyr, so these were pretty fun answers to brainstorm.

Moonrise Legacy on twitter/socmed

oh god what have I done

Imperial side first!

Elennye Trizz: Social media ghost. She doesn't have any social media that anyone knows about and people are always wondering how the hell she understands any internet memes. (little do they know she makes all the internet memes. she is the origin point. she has 800 gimmick blogs all spouting vaguely republic-critical noise and cat pics. she's a psyop and a half)

Astayr Caleo: surprisingly domestic. Xey have a cooking space-instagram where xey document hir disasters in the kitchen trying to replicate Mandalorian dishes. Torian and Mako feature in some of them as damage control or taste testers. people love how ridiculous it is and cheer when xey manage to make something yummy. Xey never post anything work related and actively block people that try to ask about it.

Sekulyn'torr: before her rise to the Dark Council she mostly just used her social media to troll and annoy other Sith - she's proud to admit she's been suspended from all social media platforms at least three times for threats of violence that offended even the Hutts. (Especially aimed at Thanaton) After their rise to the Dark Council however, they use social media mostly for policy updates and to bait their political opponents into saying some Dumb Shit that they can then use to attack or arrest them. They also occasionally get into twitter-fights with certain ex-Jedi Alliance Commanders.

Republic-side now!

Deitente Verrni: the only completely normal one of the bunch. She uses socmed for life updates and posting cute pictures of her and Aric when they're on dates off duty. She also runs a memorial page for SpecOps soldiers who fell in battle and posts obituaries upon family request.

Kessin Meyka: incendiary radical but also memer. Kessin is *always* in politicians' comment sections aggressively pointing out hypocrisy and claiming wild shit like "uh huh remember the time you tried to pay me to smuggle spice? bitch" which is usually actually true and people hate them for that. They have a library of political memes to put the Jedi archives to shame and always have at least two snappy comebacks ready on demand. their fatal flaw is that they're always commenting on random people's posts like "oh you're cute :) hmu if you need anything...discreet" and it's simultaneously a hilarious business strategy and also really cringe.

Kalvonut: Basically just one of those Inspirational Christian Instagrams, but the Jedi version. it's lowkey tacky but he thinks it's funny and nobody on the council wants to burst his bubble so they just smile and nod. he also gives out pretty decent life advice too though, so while his socmed is THAT his DMs and askboxes and comments are always filled with really sincere advice and well wishes. he's wholesome cringe, basically.

and Zakuulan SocMed (aka Greine family)

Corrain Gealai: While he was a Padawan and Jedi Knight prior to his capture, his social media presence mostly consisted of retweeting/reblogging cool art and occasionally yelling at nuclear-waste-bad takes from some Republic senators - nothing too odd. But after his stint as Lord Lune under Vitiate's control, he doesn't return to social media...until he's unfrozen from carbonite during KOTXX. He immediately starts using his old accounts to post stuff promoting galactic unity against Zakuul. He also does 'blooper reels' where silly Alliance moments that Lana and Theron declassify can be posted - mostly featuring Imperial and Republic troops coexisting or getting into stupid mischief (ex: a video of a food fight where some uppity Sith lord threw applesauce and before long there were nineteen Sith and Jedi just. dripping gravy and being lectured by Sana-rae and Bey'wan while Corrain's in the corner laughing his ass off). His socmed presence is essentially a combination political and PR account that communicates in memes and sass. After he takes Zakuul's throne however, Indo Zal jumps in to manage his public persona. This mostly consists of "please stop telling Saresh's allies and Malgus to go 'karking jump in the interstellar void,' it's bad form" so there's a notable drop in fiery internet debates after this point.

Eiri Greine: pre-KOTXX he has Generic Badguy SocMed just to keep up appearances and occasionally bitch about other Sith Lords. he rarely uses them. Post-KOTXX and his return to Zakuul he deletes everything and starts running a "shit my nephew says" account where he details all of Corrain's shenanigans and other random Eternal Family buffoonery. Iomlan features a lot just with her head in her hands. it's got several billion followers and Corrain is constantly trying to get Eiri to delete that one post about the lightsaber cheese baking incident. Eiri posts updates about Corrain's saga to delete that post. This is a Viral Meme and Eiri is constantly tagging verified accounts in the dumbest shit just to fuck with them.

Iomlan Greine: She doesn't use socmed at all until Corrain's coronation, at which point she develops a very mild case of Cat/Nexu Pic Addiction. Her socmed accounts are all just cute pictures of animals and publicly scolding her son for being an ass, or on occasion tag-teaming with Lana and Theron to publicly shame Corrain into self-care. It works pretty well, and she's confused by the number of people who follow her for cute animal pictures, but she's having fun with it.

For Odd OC Asks, how about these ones for whichever OC(s) you prefer?

🌽: How does this OC feel about acts of affection? What's their favourite act of affection, physical or emotional? 🍻: What's your OC's favourite comfort ritual? How do they calm themselves down after a rough day?

🍕: How does an OC spend a lazy day?

I'm gonna do a three by three! Three asks, Three OCs, hehe.

🌽: How does this OC feel about acts of affection? What's their favourite act of affection, physical or emotional?

Corrain: He's a cuddler. He can and will flop onto someone's lap and not let them get up, like he's some kind of overgrown cat. He's also, however, a "Quality Time" sort of person. He doesn't have a lot of time to spare, so he does his best to make sure he *makes* time for the people he loves.

Deitente: She'd never admit it, but she's very affectionate and she appreciates receiving affection just as much as she likes to give it out. Her love language is mostly "Acts of Service" - she loves doing things to make her loved ones' lives easier, but when she's feeling particularly affectionate, she WILL purr. (Jorgan denies that she purrs this every time he is asked. He would like to not be banished to the couch thank you.)

Astayr: Xey don't mind affection, but xey're generally not super affectionate by nature. Xey do like kisses and battle-dates with xir boy though, and xey're more than willing to give Blizz and Mako all the hugs those two could ever want though.

🍻: What's your OC's favourite comfort ritual? How do they calm themselves down after a rough day?

Corrain: Pre-Vitiate - he meditates or turns on a trashy holodrama to binge with Kira. Post-Vitiate, and pre-KOTXX? - he. doesn't calm down. he shuts all that boiled emotion up in a corner, and maybe tries to murder spars with Scourge for a bit to burn all the anger off. KOTXX and onward - He goes to find Lana or Theron and just kind of. lays on them until they get the hint and cuddle him. Lana will sometimes bribe him with sweets to wait until she's done working to cuddle, Theron usually caves because he's a sucker.

Deitente: She likes a cup of tea after a long day. Her favorite teas lean on the fruit side, and she curls up on the couch with a novel while she sips. Woe betide the moron who brings up that she 'likes fruity little posh drinks' in front of her

Astayr: She usually spends a few hours scrolling mindlessly on the Holonet, then either grabs pillows to go smack the shit out of Torian and Mako, or if she's been gifted any beskar ingots recently, she spends time designing her armor. Xir first beskar armor piece was a pair of gauntlets, given to xem by Torian, and xey're set on making a full set to match someday.

🍕: How does an OC spend a lazy day?

Corrain: He doesn't really know the meaning of a lazy day (without feeling like absolute garbage) until after KOTXX - so...prior to KOTXX, he's training or meditating on a slow day, maybe reading a book or trying to learn a new skill. After KOTXX - he probably goes hiking, or drags Vaylin off somewhere where she can try (and fail) to teach him ways to braid his hair. (if Theron or Lana get to him first though...he's probably not getting out of bed that day. hehe😏 they're bingeing game of eternal thrones, i promise-)

Deitente: If not catching up on sleep? She's grabbing a friend or Jorgan and dragging them off to the cantina to relax. She's not the kind to spend a "lazy" day - a day off is a day out to have fun! Whatever the Star Wars equivalent of a rollercoaster is, she's doing that.

Astayr: Either chugging ne'tra gal with the clans and partying, or - especially after xey and Torian have kids - learning and practicing elements of Mandalorian culture that xey're more unfamiliar with. Xey're end up being almost completely fluent in Mando'a, but xey're absolutely set on mastering Mandalorian cuisine, and well. Astayr isn't a fabulous cook *in general* lmao. Xey sure do have fun with it though - and most of the results are at least edible XD

Thank you for the ask!!! :DDD

Deitente and Jorgan: Obligatory OTP ask #s 5, 12, 17, 31 and 51

OHHHHH These are gonna be such fun answers!!! Thank you for the ask!

5. Describe their cozy night in. Dei curls up on the couch in front of a trashy holodrama with a cup of tea and three blankets, sticks her head in Aric's lap, and starts doing the Cat Thing where she huffs if she doesn't get head scritches. Aric, for his part, is usually completely engrossed in a book while also dutifully stroking wife's hair and agreeing with every comment she makes about how garbage the movie is. They're sort of doing their own thing, sort of not, they both love it.

Occasionally they watch Republic war movies together to pick everything apart, critique the stupid propaganda to high hell and back, and make fun of the directors incessantly.

12. Do they have many heated arguments? How do they smooth things over? Every five fucking minutes, it sometimes feels like. They're both extremely strong willed, and as Dei's Executive Officer and right hand man, Jorgan feels very strongly about providing alternatives, and they're both full of ideals and passion and things can get Spicy in the unfun ways very quickly. But they're both also extremely mature people, and when they're getting heated, they're both likely to realize it, mutually agree to step back for a little while to calm the fuck down, and then resume more calmly. Their relationship is good communication in action.

17. Who's more likely to pull the other in by the waist and kiss them passionately? Somewhat surprisingly, Aric is. He low-key loves embarrassing Dei like this - she always gets super flustered, but she likes it too so he doesn't have to worry about her getting mad at him.

Dei gets him back with the occasional ass-smack - he jumps about a mile, lmfao!

31. Can they sit side by side without touching the other or are they handsy? (lacing fingers, touching knees, etc.) They're both very disciplined people, and they both know that a commanding officer being married to someone in their direct chain of command is an EXTREMELY slippery slope, so they're extremely careful to remain professional in public at all times.

At home though? Ass smacks for DAYS. Deitente is a little shit sometimes, but Aric loves her anyway.

51. What’s a non verbal way they say I love you? Deitente purrs- I mean. I didn't say that. She'd eviscerate me XD. But she also often completes Aric's reports for him when she knows he's had a hard day, and she's the kind of person to spontaneously gift him with a day alone at the shooting range...with whatever that entails OwO

And Aric? He puts Dei to bed a lot of the time when she falls asleep working at her desk, and makes her breakfast in bed the following day. He's also defends her and her decisions to death - even if they've gotten into a shouting match and still disagree about it, he will be damned before he lets any karking moron disparage Deitente, even if that moron is a general. He's the ONLY one allowed to think she's a dumbass sometimes (lmao)

🍇 ALL OF THEM.

AT ONCE, MY DEAR SIR!

🍇What sort of friend are they? Where are they in the group dynamic?

Corrain (Knight/Outlander) - Sleepless Friend - This is the friend you actively worry about. Not because he's doing something illegal or causing drama, but because you genuinely don't know the last time he ate or slept on purpose. He's always the first one to volunteer to help someone else out but in the same breath he's completely oblivious to his own issues and needs. you've got to kick him in the seat of the pants from time to time.

Kalvonut (Consular) - "Mom" Friend - but in the kind of resigned way where he's not going to STOP you from doing something batshit insane, he'll just sigh disapprovingly, maybe warn you once or twice, and then be ready with bandaids and ice packs when you inevitably hurt yourself. he's the one that bails you out of jail and gives you hugs when you're upset, no questions asked.

Kessin (Smuggler) - the Party Animal Friend. Somehow they know ALL the best parties to go to, AND they've got the fake IDs to get you in if you need it. 10/10 a terrible influence, but they'll kick ass if someone looks at you wrong and they absolutely take shit seriously when it's their turn to be the Designated Driver. Having fun is only surpassed by being safe in their book, and they can and will frog-march you home if you get blackout drunk. They're the one to ask for info on the least-sketchy bars and clubs.

Deitente (Trooper) - Can't-Relax Friend. She's the one you go to for a good time that's also a clean time. She's the one that always knows the best local restaurants and scenic spots and also organizes every surprise party ever. you never just sit around and do nothing - she *will* find something for you to do out of the house! god forbid you catch her actually RELAXING for once in her life.

Eiri (Warrior) - Tired of Socializing Friend. You go to his house, play video games in silence for three hours, you go home. Sometimes you even talk to each other about books you've liked recently, and you bitch about all the assholes you both know. He's the one you don't need to do stuff with or really talk to to just. be able to hang out with, quietly. he wordlessly makes you hot chocolate when you're sad, throws blankets at you, and turns on the shittiest sitcom ever so you laugh.

Sekulyn (Inquisitor) - Broken All the Laws Friend. This is the one who's got your back 100% but will also show up to a knife fight with a bazooka, flamethrower, and a pack of grenades. They don't necessarily ASK you to do illegal shit, but you've heard very true stories about how they've gotten away with arson and grand larceny at least seven times and each story is different. you're 90% sure that if you weren't friends that they'd have to kill you, but they manage to keep you out of their shady shit pretty well out of respect? you're not sure and you don't ask.

Astayr (Bounty Hunter) - Shit-stirrer Friend. Like the Party Animal, but she doesn't go to a party just to have a good time, she goes and starts shit. Most of the time it's because Xey've gone and thrown someone into a wall for groping someone else's ass, a fight starts, and by the time it's 2 am you're both sitting in jail drunk off your ass and laughing. On the rare occasion xey DON'T start a barfight, xey get roaring drunk, kiss a bunch of people, and eventually find two people that will start a fight for xir amusement. Do not tell her ANY gossip in the AITA vein or you will get a confrontation between her and whomever the asshole is.

Elennye (Imp Agent) - Tough Love Friend. She's the one you call when you get into shit and Kalvonut is too busy rescuing kittens to pick you up. She will berate you for being stupid even as she's patching you up, but her advice is always sound even if it's not what you want to hear. She doesn't mince words and she's never nice for the sake of being nice, but she's the person to call when you need some sense shaken into you.

THANK U FOR THE ASK KITTY YOU'RE A BEAN <3

#swtor oc #swtor oc ask game #oc ask game #sekulyn and astayr are UNHINGED #astayr just drags you into it #and sekulyn just kind of 'yeah so last week when i robbed a bank i saw this adorable boba tea place' and you just go with it #corrain #kalvonut #astayr #elennye #eiri #sekulyn #deitente #kessin #swtor

🍾: Does your OC believe in luck? If so, do they have any charm or ritual they do before a stressful event?

You didn't specify which OC, so I'm going for all of them! (Hope that's okay. Hehe)

Corrain (Knight/Outlander) - not really. If it's a low probability but still possible situation, then yes, 'luck' exists. But random chance is random chance to him, he doesn't have anything he thinks will affect it one way of the other.

(He believes in fate eventually, though. Being the son of a Zakuulan Scion and prone to pretty vivid visions himself, it's hard for him to not think that some things are just. Inevitable)

Kalvonut (Consular) - he thinks it's more 'the will of the Force' than anything, but he keeps his mother's brow piercings in a safebox, and he tends to just...look at them for a few minutes before any important or dangerous undertaking. It's not quite prayer, but it's close.

Kessin (Smuggler) - yes. They're superstitious AF. They have "lucky blasters" lmao. But hey! It seems to work for them.

Deitente (Trooper) - absolutely not. Everything she and her team have is due to hard work, skill, and sometimes the obnoxious interference of political bullshit.

Eiri (Warrior) - not luck. Fate. Given that he is both son of and brother to two powerful Scions of Zakuul, he disbelieves in luck completely.

Sekulyn (Inquisitor) - Sort of? They do rain dances for fun and ABSOLUTELY kiss their partner (Andronikos, then later Acina) for luck, but if you seriously asked her if she believes in luck they'd be offended. (They're not even sure if they believe in luck. Maybe when it's a convenient explanation, lmao)

Astayr (Bounty Hunter) - no way. Xey attribute every one of hir unlikely triumphs to pure skill. To hir credit, that's mostly accurate.

Elennye (Imp Agent) - math reigns supreme and luck is just probability working in people's favor. She's with Corrain on this one.

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK I love answering these things :3

incorrect SWTOR quotes generator

I saw this going around and had to jump on board with my Moonrise legacy and some of the ships/friendships there. Generator Link Here. Ship indicators are done ao3-style (slash = ship or qpr, ampersad = plain friendship, v. = rivalry or enmity)

And this got really fucking long so I hid most of the non-OT3 ones under a readmore for your scrolling convenience sjdhfakjdfadfgjasd

I was doing a couple of things and got distracted. Theron: I’m “a couple of things”. Lana: I’m “got distracted”. - Lana: *speaking Spanish* Theron: I know, I know. Corrain: You speak Spanish?

Lana, looking at Theron: Yeah… but do you know what’s more beautiful? Theron and Lana in unison: *sighs* Corrain - Corrain: If you water water, it grows. Lana: ...What. Theron: They've got a point. - Lana, watching Corrain do something stupid: Theron, you're officially only the second highest risk here. Theron: Hell yeah! I'm gonna— Lana: Don't finish that sentence, you'll move back up.

Torian/Astayr & Mako

Mako: Hey, Torian, are you free on Friday? Like around eight? Torian: Yeah. Mako: And you, Astayr? Astayr: Umm... yes? Mako: Great! Because I'm not. You two go out without me. Enjoy your date! Astayr: Did they just- - Mako: Do you think different paints have different tastes? Torian: They do. Astayr: ...Why did you say that with such certainty? - Torian: How do you know how to kiss? Like who teaches you? Astayr: Well it’s actually a class, but unfortunately it’s full right now. Astayr: Would you like me to tutor you? Mako: That was smooth. - Astayr: Due to personal reasons, I will be fucking sinking to the bottom of the ocean in a large metal box. Mako: Did Torian say 'I love you' and you said 'Thanks'?

What a coincidence! - Corso, walking into Risha and Kessin’s bedroom in the middle of the night: I had a bad dream. Risha: What was it about? Kessin: No, don’t ask them that! Risha: Why not? Kessin: Cause they’ll answer! - Corso: Ooh, somebody has a crush Kessin: Pfft, I don’t have a crush on Risha I just think they’re cool, it’s not like I stay up at night thinking about them. *Later that night* Kessin, very much awake: Uh oh. - Risha: We've got to find a way to cut down our expenses. What can we live without? Kessin: Corso, probably. - Kessin, looking through their clothes: Has anyone seen my top? Corso: Risha's in the kitchen. - Risha : I have a bad feeling about this... Kessin: What do you mean? Risha : Don't you ever get that little voice in your head that tells you if you're going to get into trouble? Kessin: No? Corso: That actually explains so much.

Aric/Deitente v. Garza Aric: Okay, I’m going to get the wedding cake. Deitente: Perfect, while you do that I’ll check on the ring bear. Aric: ... Aric: You mean ring bearER, right? Deitente: ... Aric: Look me in the eyes and tell me you are not going to bring a dangerous wild animal to our wedding. - Deitente: Do you feel any better? Aric: I feel much better now that you here with me. *Garza walks in* Aric: I feel half better. - Deitente, Entering Aric's room: Garza did it again. Aric: Peace disturbance? Deitente: What no- Aric: Arson..? Deitente: NO, JESUS CHRIST, HOW MANY- Aric: uh....Attempted murder? Deitente: NO, THEY ATE ALL THE FOOD IN THE FRIDGE, BUT WHAT THE FU- - Garza: Did you take out Deitente as I requested? Aric: Deitente has been taken out, yes. Garza: You have my grat- Aric: It was a great restaurant. Aric: We had a romantic candlelit dinner. Aric: Deitente proposed afterwards- we’re filing the wedding papers. - Garza: Uh, I think I got your lunch. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘I am very proud of you. Love, Aric’* Deitente: Oh yeah. I didn’t think this was for me. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘Be good. For the love of God, Please be good.’*

Acina/Sekulyn & Ashara (& Khem Val) Ashara: Everyone synchronize your watches. Khem Val: I don't know how to do that. Acina: I don't wear a watch. Sekulyn: Time is a construct. - *Everyone is playing a board game together* Khem Val: I will put 'A' down to make 'A'. Ashara: I will add onto your 'A' to make 'AT'. Sekulyn: I will add onto your 'AT' to make 'RAT'. Acina: I will add onto your 'RAT' to make 'BIOSTRATAGRAPHIC'. Sekulyn: *flips the board* - Ashara: Why are your tongues purple? Acina: We had slushies. I had a blue one. Sekulyn: I had a red one. Ashara: oh. Ashara: Ashara: OH. Khem Val: Khem Val: You drank each others slushies? - Ashara: I hope you have an explanation for this. Sekulyn: We have three actually- Acina: Pick your favorite. - Sekulyn: Where are you going? Acina: To get MYSELF a gift cause somebody didn't get me one! Sekulyn: I told you I did! Its coming here on Friday! Ashara, knowing full well that Sekulyn got Acina an engagement ring: *eating popcorn*

Corrain & Kira & Scourge

Corrain: It's locked. You got a lock pick? Kira: Yeah- Scourge: *kicks in the door* - Kira: Scourge won’t come out of their room! Corrain: Just tell them I said something. Kira: Like what? Corrain: Anything factually incorrect. Kira, shrugging: If you say so. Scourge, arriving moments later: Did you just say the sun is a PLANET? - Scourge: Kira, I know you love Corrain. I mean, we all do, they’re a very nice person and I respect them immensely. Scourge: But I think they might be a fucking idiot. - Kira: Corrain got into a fight. Scourge: That’s bad. Scourge: Scourge: Did they win? - Corrain: The best part of an oreo is the cookie part, not the frosting. Deal with it. Scourge: Darkness without light is an abyss. Light without darkness is blinding. You cannot have a coin with one side. Kira: YO SOCRATES! IT'S A FUCKING COOKIE!

Kalvonut/Arcann & Corrain Arcann: Are you a painting? Kalvonut: What-? Arcann: Because I want to pin you to a wall. Corrain: OH GOD I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY YOU WANTED TO HANG THEM OR SOMETHING- - Kalvonut: Goddamn it, the printer broke while printing out Arcann's birthday invitations. Corrain: Well, what are they supposed to say? Kalvonut: "Arcann's birthday". Corrain: So, what do they say instead? Kalvonut: "Arcann’s bi". Corrain: Corrain: Works out either way. - Arcann: It's pretty cold outside.. wanna hold hands? We should stay close. Kalvonut, blushing: Okay. Corrain: It's fucking summer. - Kalvonut: When Arcann was born, the gods said, "They're too perfect for this world." Corrain: Please. When they were born, the devil said, "Oh, competition." - Arcann: I asked Kalvonut out. Corrain: Oh, I’m sorry. Arcann: Why? Corrain: Well, I assume they said no. Arcann: No, they said yes. Corrain: Really? Then I’m sorry for them. - Arcann: *yawns* Kalvonut: Yeah, being that pretty must be tiring. Arcann: Then you must be exhuasted. Corrain: Will you two shut up? Some of us are lonely.

Elennye/Vaylin & Corrain Vaylin: Did Elennye just tell me they loved me for the first time? Corrain: Yeah, they did. Vaylin: And did I just do finger guns back? Corrain: Yeah, you did. - Elennye: What time is it?
