Okay, but Have You Considered...

Okay - so the track is "The Other Side" from "The Greatest Showman", right? But instead of Hugh Jackman and Zac Effron singing about joining the circus, it's Lana Beniko singing with a reluctant Outlander about starting the Alliance with her. It is basically the same energy.

Sometimes, I'm a genius. 🤓

I liked doing this for Amitia, so since I have some more new SWTOR followers I figured I’d continue doing this meme to introduce my characters.

Meet The OC: Arex Vinen

Arex Vinen is my Sith Warrior.

Arex is the son of Dark Council member, Darth Occul. Arex is quite different from most Sith. While most rage or terrorize, he is calm and collected, level headed, and at times, a gentle giant. He is a Light Side Sith Warrior. He was raised in his Mother's estate, having lived in the large manor most of his life before being sent to Korriban for training. Arex was not impressed to be used by Overseer Tremel for his superiority nonsense. But he still did his best to pull through his training and survive, leading to him meeting and befriending Vette. He managed to make it off Korriban with Vette as Darth Baras's apprentice. He had immediately felt off about Baras, having gotten the worst feeling about him. But he focused on trying to do what he needed, without being killed. Along the way, he met and befriended Malavai Quinn. Then Baras sent him after Noman Karr, his unknown Padawan, and those close to her. Something he was not fond of doing. He did what he could to mitigate the damage Baras's quest would do, leaving Master Yonlach and Knight Yul-Li alive, convincing Jaesa's parents to go to Drommond Kaas since he couldn't leave them there knowing Baras knew they were there, and convincing Baras to leave them alone and get them a decent living when they got there. All while letting Baras think he had everything going to plan. Then he finally met, and defeated Noman Karr, and met his Padawan, Jaesa Willsaam. Officially, Jaesa became known as his apprentice that he turned away from the Jedi and the Light. In reality, Jaesa was still a Jedi Padawan. Noman Karr was exposed to Jaesa and their Order. Arex and Jaesa both agreed to call the Council ahead of Karr's arrival to tell them what happened with him, Jaesa, and Arex. The Council was surprised, but grateful for the information. Arex warns them that his Master knows of Jaesa and her power, and wants her destroyed. He does not want to do that however, and with Baras's spies in the Order, there's too much risk to send Jaesa back. So he offers, as a way to save her, that they pretend he's taken her as his apprentice, but still make sure she could continue her Jedi training. To anyone else, that's what she'd be, but to them, and the Council, she'd still be a Jedi. The Council is, understandably, a little hesitant, and ask Jaesa what she wants. She used to her powers to feel out the situation, and agreed that it was for the best for her safety, the safety of her parents, and that Arex was being genuine. The Council agrees, and they set up everything Jaesa would need to continue her training, even if she couldn't safely go back to Tython yet. His adventures continued on, leading to him being betrayed by Baras, protecting Vowrawn, defeating and imprisoning Baras, and becoming the new Wrath. Sometime later in his career, he ends up crossing paths with Havoc Squad Commander, Tyrlin Drish. He watches as the Trooper prepared to fight him, most likely having heard reports of what he is capable of.

Yet, Arex makes no move to fight him. Instead, Arex and Tyrlin end up talking for a while, learning a bit about each other before Arex takes his leave. The experience leaves Arex rather curious about the Major, and wanting to know more. He does as much research as he can about him, but information is slim. But he keeps trying. Eventually, they meet again. And as it turns out, Tyrlin was also learning about him, and was just as interested in him as he was in him. Neither are quite sure why, but they can't deny the interest, or feelings, growing between them. He meets with Tyrlin more, getting closer to the Trooper and falls in love. But he and Tyrlin both know they can't really be together; Tyrlin because of his loyalty to the Republic and his team, which is part of what he loves about Tyrlin, is his fierce loyalty, and Arex because of his family and friends still in the Empire. So despite loving him, Arex lets him go. But his superiors find out not long after he and Tyrlin decided to separate. They wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, and order him to go essentially undercover, learn more about the Major and the Republic and report back to them on it. He doesn't want to do that to Tyrlin, but doesn't have much choice. And he's most certainly not happy about it. So he goes on the new mission he'd been assigned. Arex meets with Tyrlin, and Tyrlin immediately tells him what his superiors want him to do, and that he doesn't want to do it. Immediately after, Arex also tells him that his own superiors want him to do the same thing to Tyrlin. He can senses the other man's doubt, confusion, and pain in the Force. He wanted to make it better, for both of them, as its not fair to either of them. Then he gets an idea. He suggests to Tyrlin that they take advantage of the situation, having basically been given permission to be together, even if it was meant to be sneaky. He can see and sense that Tyrlin still has his doubts, as it would mean going against the Republic. Arex then suggests they both give good, but effectively useless information when needed, that way it looks like they are sticking to their missions, but aren't actually betraying anyone. Tyrlin thinks about it for a moment, as Arex waits with baited breath, then agrees, as it won't really make him go against his loyalties. He's beyond relieved that he can be with Tyrlin and not force him to betray anyone he cares about or go against his loyalties to the Republic. The plan works, and no one is the wiser about it. Arex finally ends up dating Tyrlin, becoming his boyfriend and later, his husband. And he is very happy about it. His mother is also very happy for him, as are his friends.

Officially added Arex's mother, Darth Occul, to the game!!

Much like Styx, Dahru and Noirin, Darth Occul has only been in the game for a few weeks, as opposed to months. She is also waiting her turn while I finish all my current stories. It will probably be a bit longer even after that, however, since I want to do all the other stories I mentioned in the Tein's Sithly Parent Trio post next. But she's here and I'm happy. She is wearing The Lana Beniko's armor set, dyed black. Much like Arex, my original plan didn't work out, because I forgot about some sets mandatory hoods lol. Regardless, she still looks fantastic!! And it gives the same vibes I wanted from my original plan. I also gave her the Etched Dueler's lightsaber. I just liked the look of it with her and her armour. And she got an Advanced Pink-Red Indestructible crystal to recolour her saber, and I thought the colour was pretty while still staying in the Sith lightsaber colour theme lol.

I love how beautiful she looks, both in the armour and just in game in general.

I think the entire moral lesson behind the inception of the Sith Empire (not Galactic Empire, that got completely different shit going on) is that failure to properly handle fascism leads to more victimization and more fascism. Real Sithheads know that the OG Sith Species pre-Jedi Exiles we’re not on shit. These mfs didn’t even know what a starship was. Mfs were shook when they saw that starship pull up on their fuckass evil tatooine planet. Dawg, they was not thinking about the Jedi or Republic. They was thinking a out how to handle the shyrack infestation in the local cave when all they got is Stone Age spears and some rocks.

The Jedi being too liberal-coded is what led to the creation of the Sith Order. Mfs thought they could just let the Jedi Exiles go free and they’d have this “come to the lightside” moment but instead, the Exiles invaded these poor mfs planet, colonized it, and fucked their shit up. Like seriously the Sith species by the time we get to The Old Republic era has gone through some All Tomorrows lite ass genetic and cultural engineering. You see how mfs was looking Pre-Great Hyperspace War and you’re like “wow is these mfs geonosians?”

Them going through everything they did is the Jedi’s fault bc they gave them no consequences then let them go fuck up some poor Stone Age era planet’s shit. The Jedi are weak as fuck and it’s not because they’re on the lightside, it’s because they’re bitchmade hippies who can’t stand on business fr. Mfs didn’t even confiscate their lightsabers, like total stupid ass bitch decision.

The Jedi let the extremely dangerous fringe ideology into the wild without even a slap on the wrist or getting rid of their weapons all bc they was too “peace, love, and positivity. Trust the Force”ed out. This why Sidious ends up bodying them thousands of years later tbh.

Jedi fans jealous that the Sith highkey win the “oppressed and victimized fake religion” contest. Like I’m talking about countless generations of people with compounded trauma that leads to Darth Bane destroying their whole “on life support” ass Empire all bc he had deep rooted daddy issues so the entire Sith Order had to reflect that. They did deserve better and imo I stand by my headcanon that the Sith being a warrior culture probably just thought it was a fun lil rivalry between them and the Jedi and would’ve had Winners Remorse if they did actually wipe them out. The Jedi were their favorite opps

Y’all gotta stop blaming the poor Sith on Korriban for embracing the darkside bc if you was an Stone Age Technology ass mf, and you knew that any second of the day, a pack of ghoulish worm bats was ready to maul you to death, you’d be pulling out the force electricity

Every animal on Korriban is scary as fuck and before the Jedi Exiles arrived, mfs was using spears, whatever they could make with rocks, and the darkside of the force.

Hell, Mfs was still using that same shit too up until the Great Hyperspace War. They loved their stone Sith Magic enchanted weapons

All I’m saying is that we can’t judge them bc mfs wasn’t on Naboo or some shit. Every animal was war ready and about that action. If you can’t use Force Electricity good, the starving horde of tuk’atas is killing everybody in your tribe.

Y’all judging mfs bc they not moving like Yoda but Yoda never had to live with the risk of his Younglings and Padawan Learners being jumped by 12 feet tall buff as hell tusk monsters. Like we gotta factor in environments here lol

.....i had honest to god completely forgotten that the Republic after revan (cuz who else) made the sith illegal up til the clone wars.

The organization, philosophy, artifacts, language, public and private conversation about them, research, EVERYTHING.

Like,,,, HOW did that go during the swtor era and onwards. HOW.

There were confirmed PURE BLOOD SITH IN THE JEDI ORDER.

No fucking cap, throughout all of their history for these poor people it was literally ON SIGHT, and it somehow NEVER got better.

First the Rakata. Then these sad wet socks that called themselves jedi who colonized their planet so hard, they COLONIZED THEIR ENTIRE SPECIES' GENETIC MAKE UP. then sadow and kreshh are so bad at getting their shit together that they loose a major part of their population and their entire home planet. Then vitiate goes bonkers and inhales most of what's left. And there's 4000 years more to go.

Smh if I were a sith pureblood I'd be glad that my species is dying out so we can finally fuck off from all this suffering
