#oc: taket

[killikhive]

the inquisitor balmorra story involves less actual genetic fuckery than I think it should tbh. this serum's only meant for colicoids? I think the inquisitor should be able to be like "okay what if I had colicoid dna then"

is it absurd? yes. but I think taket does suggest this because. listen. shes got scientific curiosity in her but she doesn't have much actual background education. it's just the right combination for her to suggest something absolutely batshit and I think it'd be fun if it Sort of Works. or at least is one of those things where it doesn't actually change how the serum works but just fucks with her DNA a bit and might contribute to the whole mess with what is mostly the forcewalking sickness.

get to the mother machine and it's like "what the fuck did you DO?"

Estrella and Taket being dumb together

[killikhive]

I like to imagine this just means that he's going to credit her in the acknowledgements section of the paper he will eventually publish in the peer-reviewed academic sith alchemical science journal which definitely exists.

but probably only as a "thank you to the many acolytes who assisted with the collection of tuk'ata specimens", in much the way i've once been credited in a paper as one of "many undergraduate students"

[killikhive]

takets just like me (curious by nature)

[killikhive]

been thinking about taket and andronikos revel's relationship lately and i love them so much. they're besties. they're friends with benefits. they cause a little chaos and destruction wherever they go. they antagonize each other for fun. they antagonize other people for fun. they have killed for each other and would again. they support each other's missions for revenge and then for fulfillment and purpose after that. they're best friends and i like them so much.

pride time in the old republic! part 1

[Image Description: A digital illustration of a group of characters with various pride flags. From left to right: Taket, a Zabrak sith, wearing the bi flag as a cape; Kvel’ata, a Sith Pureblood, with both the nonbinary flag and the transgender flag over their shoulders; Kicth, a Chiss bounty hunter, wearing the lesbian flag as a cape; Yvix, a Chiss imperial agent, with a small transgender flag in one hand. Taket is smiling, and one hand is raised mid-gesture. Kvel’ata has their eyes closed and a grin on their face, patting Taket on the back. Kicth is smiling too and her arms are crossed, facing Yvix, who has a nervous smile on his face.]

exclusive taket art from like 2 years ago that still makes me laugh

[killikhive]

it’s oc introduction time babey

about time, too. here’s we go time for some blurbs on all my main swtor kids, in order of when I made them. (I still haven’t finished all the class stories yet tho…working on it!) 

All of them are on the Star Forge server, feel free to add them as friends if you want to play with me or something! 

And also feel free to ask questions about them anytime!

Taket

(Sith Inquisitor: finished class story)

Taket has gotten this far pretty much entirely by spite alone, but she’s started to appreciate that anger isn’t the only emotion that can fuel the Force (and to continue relying just on anger isn’t sustainable either). Hates to be looked down on, and in turn won’t treat others as below her just because she made it onto the Dark Council. (That was kind of incidental anyway.)

————-

Hade Thava

(Jedi Knight: finished class story)

Born in the Empire, Hade nearly died as a child on Korriban, escaping with the help of another failed acolyte into the ruins until they could make it off-planet. Not long after, she was picked up by the Jedi- which maybe wasn’t the best thing, actually. A lot of the demonization of the Sith and the Empire in the Jedi teachings Hade internalized until it became a pervasive sense of guilt. As an adult, Hade’s developed quite a martyr complex, driven by an almost compulsive need to “make up for” her past and any harm she may have caused. She overestimates what she can handle and puts herself on the line again and again without much hesitation or thought for her own well-being. She hardly recognizes the unhealthiness of it because hey, this is what a Jedi’s supposed to do, right? (Going to decide where her character arc goes with the expansions as I play them, but I’d like for her to be able to grow past this, and to realize the harm that the Jedi mindset has done to her. I want her to be able to keep pursuing what she cares about, but to realize it’s more nuanced, and that her self-sacrificing is really just self-destructive.)

————-

Kicth

(Bounty Hunter: finished class story)

Kicth grew up on the streets of Coruscant, and has gotten used to fighting dirty to survive. She’s a lot like a feral cat (has gotten into fights over scraps of food, Will Bite You). There’s a Cards Against Humanity card that’s “A little sewer girl strangling a pigeon” and that’s Kicth. She’s tiny and desperate and always on alert, and is also very determined to Stick It To The Man. Over the course of her class story she’s gone from “Trust No One” to “Don’t You Dare Hurt My Friends Or I Will Kill You,” and I for one am proud of her. She’s still not sold on the whole Mandalorian idea of honor though.

————-

Sabik Rykal

(Republic Trooper: finished chapter 1 of class story)

Sabik is jaded and grouchy and kind of just getting by, though stuff he’s experienced during his time as a soldier has messed him up big time. This isn’t where he wanted to be in life and but he doesn’t really see another option for himself- he feels stuck. But all his service to the Republic has gotten him is trust issues, unresolved trauma, and a drinking problem. He’s bitter about it but he’s spent long enough there that he doesn’t feel like he has much to go back to, anyway. (He once wanted to be an actor, and to make music with his friends- he was in a band once!- but he’s lost passion for it, resigned himself to the belief that it would never happen.)

————-

Antaeres Skor

(Jedi Consular: not far in story yet)

Now we’re getting into the territory of characters I haven’t really played (and consequently developed) much yet. Antaeres is…terrible. Definitely not a nice person. What she cares about, first and foremost, is power. Or maybe self-preservation would be more accurate- it’s just that the constant pursuit of power is what she sees as necessary to attain that. Her view of the world is very zero-sum, and she kind of assumes that everyone else thinks the same way, too. And she’s really into Force secrets. She doesn’t even have much issue with the Sith- probably would have no qualms joining them if it seemed like a better position to be in. For now though, she’s pretty comfortable being a really awful Jedi.  (P.S. her name in-game is Antæres Skor, with the æ…not easy to type. I’m sorry. )

————-

Kvel’ata

(Sith Warrior: not far in story yet)

Kvel’ata is a former underground arena fighter. (The latter half of their name comes from their alias in fighting circles: The Tuk’ata.) They originally didn’t even seem to be Force sensitive at all, and had already pretty much accepted that. They found their passion in fighting- and then, found they were at least a little bit Force-sensitive after all. In the thrill of the ring they found themself instinctively using the Force to enhance their strength and fighting ability. While they still lack the full suite of Force abilities that a Sith usually has, they make up for it. They’re generally laid-back, even friendly, but that friendliness shouldn’t be mistaken for weakness. They don’t need anger or malice to be a good fighter- they’re willing to test themself in combat against anyone they meet, and they’ll probably genuinely enjoy it too.

————-

Kavis Alzirr

(Smuggler: barely started)

At first glance, Kavis might seem naive, but his stubborn optimism has been tested plenty. He…is kind of a dumbass, but he’s full of love. He’s trying to have a good time and help other people have a good time too.

————-

Yvix

(Imperial Agent: barely started)

Yvix is a former Chiss ambassador who may or may not have been manipulated and brainwashed to be an agent for the Empire. Very good at being persuasive. He’s kinda high-strung and kinda falling apart, simultaneously trying and not trying to poke at the gaping holes in his memory. Tries to make sense of it but when he tries to directly think about it his mind is just [static noises].
