#* dorian & alyrisa.

[kovnynir]

❝ what’s up, poggers? ❞ kota questioned his lovely daughter, flopping on the couch. he set his head in her lap, smiling softly up at her. stars above, he loved her. he loved that he was home. he loved that he could see her again.

❝ did i use that right? poggers? is that cool slang? ❞ he asked, little chuckles bubbling from his chest. ❝ i don’t know if i’ll ever catch up. ❞ 

kota was acting extra jovial -- he could sense there was a lot on al’s mind, and he wanted more than anything to ease it. he reached up and lightly touched some of her hair. ❝ the green’s nearly gone... do you wanna touch it up? we could do that tonight if you wanted! or soon, if that doesn’t work for you. ❞ // @alyrisa-dorian

The Force will be with you…always.

anakin laughed somewhat arrogantly, “i am the force, the force made me into everything I am and could ever be.”

(( @alyrisa-dorian ))

    in the short time he had been on batuu, quinlan had learned that it had been decades since the last memories he held. and that he had died and came back to life. whether it was after his troops betrayed him -that had been a shocker- or from old age, it was anyone’s guess. quinlan was mad that he didn’t know whether he survived the great purge, but even more so that if he did survive he had not helped the rebellion. so either way life sucked. but here he was, seemingly getting a second chance, at what exactly? again, anyone’s guess.

    he kept trying to find others. it was impossible to believe that the jedi had been hunted down, eradicated. but if he had come back, surely there would be others. he had gone over and over again through each particular force aura, the results had been zero to none. still he kept trying. quinlan was not one to give up easily. 

    “finally” quinlan said picking a familiar aura, he hurried up to reach them, the memories seemed like a lifetime away, he wondered what would he find, an old woman? he could only hope. “oh kriff” quinlan said looking at the very young alyrisa, “please tell me you didn’t die too?”

[kovnynir]

why was he so afraid to return to his home? this was his space, his hospital, his family was here. why was he afraid? he knew he traumatized them all -- he felt responsible for his own death, that was no real surprise, of course he’d take the guilt from that. he was worried about re-traumatizing them somehow. he’d been gone for a few months, he figured they were moving on. would he make everything worse by coming back? 

he couldn’t question everything for too much longer -- as much as he hated the idea of staying away from them, he also hated the idea of not being near them. he wanted to fix what was broken, he wanted to be there to comfort them somehow. 

perhaps the back entrance. he’d go up to the apartment first, perhaps he’d be alone there, and he could assess from there. he wanted to change out of what he died in, just in case. there would likely be blood all over the back and he didn’t want them to see it. so, that’s exactly what he did -- he snuck into his own house, got up to his apartment through the back, snuck into his bedroom, and changed. 

as he walked out, he locked eyes with the black kitten.

❝ shit- ❞ kota blurted, not expecting him to be right at his feet.

mug’s eyes got big.  ❝ AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❞

kota sighed and hung his head. alright, he supposed this would be how it went. // @alyrisa-dorian​

[kovnynir]

okay, so that wasn’t good -- that definitely wasn’t good. he managed to get into the hospital, waiting on deimos to bring the body -- this wasn’t good. kartal was breathing heavy, his already-rapid mind spinning nearly out of control.

lead.

what the fuck, lead -- kota, why?? why me? i’m not- i’m not you!

he squeezed his eyes shut for a few moments. it’s okay -- he could figure it out. one of kartal’s gifts was thinking fast. he could figure this out. he had to figure this out. 

❝ al- al, i know- i know, just breathe, ❞ he said, still feeling her struggling against him. // @alyrisa-dorian

[kovnynir]

finch was dreading it, but he knew he couldn’t keep putting it off anymore. he’d gotten comfortable crashing on kota’s couch and hanging out with the family. he cared about them a lot -- so much more than he ever thought was possible. but unfortunately, his time was up. he knew he couldn’t stay on batuu anymore, not when he had so much on his plate that was waiting for his return. so that night, he knew he had to tell them the truth. 

❝ this looks really good kota, thanks, ❞ finch said as kota set plates in front of him and al.

❝ it’s been a while since i’ve made it, ❞ kota said, sitting down now that everyone had what they needed. he was just so happy that his family was together and they could spend time like this. it felt like things had finally settled and they could do this without worry.

and yeah. he was starting to see finch like family. after everything they’d been through together, how could he not? // @alyrisa-dorian​

[kovnynir]

roo had always been afraid of everything, but now she was anxious of even her own shadow. she was petrified to leave the house out of fear that her brothers could find her and snatch her up. but... there were things that she had to do. davy and finch were working together. they were out. and reumah needed to be an adult and leave the house so she could donate the clothes her mother gave her and just be done with it. 

so she gathered the bags of clothes and carefully exited the house, trembling like mad. she only made it a few steps away before she heard a loud ‘roo!!!’ behind her.

reumah screamed and dropped the bags, her hands coming up instinctively to cover her head. 

today was not a good day.           // @alyrisa-dorian​

[kovnynir]

kota entered the apartment after a long day. his mind had been racing ever since finch came back, especially given all that the man had done for kota while he was gone. finch’s generosity was boundless, and it only made kota remember how he had no family, and kota found it to be unacceptable. he wanted to be a safe place for finch to go back to. 

he knocked on al’s door. ❝ yo, short stuff, ❞ he said through the door, ❝ c’mere, i wanna pick your brain really quick. ❞   // @alyrisa-dorian​

[kovnynir]

roo was trying so, so hard to put herself out there. she wasn’t good at it, in fact she was the worst at it, but she was trying. kota was really encouraging her to hang out with alyrisa more, and roo thought it was a good idea, she just wished she was better at talking to people. the girls had decided to go shopping -- roo was still dealing with the horribly over-mature wardrobe that roo’s mother had given her, so they wanted to try and find her something fit her better. as roo was trying on a dress, she walked out shyly and stood in front of the mirror.

it was certainly her style, a delicate white prairie dress with little embroidered flowers on it. she glanced over at alyrisa. ❝ do you think this is okay? ❞ she asked softly. ❝ i-i don’t want to look stupid when i meet your friends... ❞ she knew she’d already look stupid just because she was stupid, but she didn’t want her clothes to reflect it too. // @alyrisa-dorian​

[kovnynir]

mug was so grateful that al was home and they were back on batuu. it was still chaos, things were still bad, but at least certain things were slowly being set right. their family was back together again -- and it looked like they would be gaining family soon. mug would be very pleased with that. he liked finch. he was interesting.

from his perch in al’s overalls pocket, he craned his head up to look at her. ❝ hi, ❞ he said. ❝ can we go get caff? we can’t stay cooped up in here much longer. you’re gonna go crazy. ❞ // @alyrisa-dorian

[kovnynir]

CONTINUED FROM HERE.  // @alyrisa-dorian​

roo sniffled and nodded, trying her best to keep control. she wanted to be good and do as the doctor told her to, but it was all very scary. ❝ i just don’t know what to do -- there’s- there’s this- this contract, and- and i don’t- i don’t know- ❞

kota nodded. ❝ it’s okay. you’re going to be okay, i’m going to help you any way i can, i promise. ❞ he sensed alyrisa in the doorway, his attention flicking over to her. ❝ excuse me- ❞ he told roo before standing up and walking over to her. 

❝ hey kid- you okay? ❞ he asked her, making sure she was alright and didn’t need anything.

[kovnynir]

elodie blinked open her eyes, and she was cuddled up in the plushest grass, surrounded by trees and the soft glow of early morning. she felt different -- lighter. there were still angry voices in her head, but... it was no longer controlling her actions. she could think a little clearer. 

she was even wearing something different too, a flowing powder-blue dress she remembered getting as a gift during her time. she gently pawed at the fabric, curious as to how she ended up in this. on her head, a gold circlet, the only piece of her family she had. it had been hidden away with her when her family gave her to the jedi. a token of love from her parents since they would never be able to tell her themselves and have her understand.

tears sparked in her eyes. was she finally free? the force moved differently here. she was still hesitant. a foot or so away, her lightsaber sat. so she grabbed it and curled around it, just working on breathing and studying the force. making sure that she wasn’t going to nearly awaken nihilus again.  // @alyrisa-dorian​

[kovnynir]

this wasn’t exactly what he’d imagined when shit hit the fan. yes, he expected everything to go crazy and fall apart, but he hadn’t expected all of this. it was troublesome for him, especially given his position in the universe. technically, he was above all of this suffering. but still, he suffered. he watched the people he loved fall apart and experience so much pain... for nothing. it was all for nothing, none of this had any reason to it, it was just pain for the sake of pain. 

so, he did something he knew he probably shouldn’t do, and re-entered the world between worlds. he made his way back to the clone wars, to the temple. he needed to find al and see how he could get her back without too much headache. what good was he as an interdimensional being if he couldn’t use those dimensions for something? the teensy kitten padded around the halls, searching for his friend. // @alyrisa-dorian

[kovnynir]

he could barely move. his body was working overtime to take care of the town. the droids were a great help, finch was incredible, but that wasn’t fixing kota’s deteriorating health and stability. finally, it got to the point where finch wasn’t fucking around.

❝ you’re taking the day off tomorrow. no protests, i don’t care what you have to say, ❞ finch warned as he helped kota up the stairs. there was a lull, the droids had it covered. both men needed to go upstairs and relax for a minute. ❝ i’ll take your fuckin’ pager, i don’t care. ❞

kota rolled his eyes. ❝ you’re acting real familiar, finch -- i thought i was the adult here. ❞

❝ i’m four years younger than you, tweak. as far as i’m concerned, when you’re in this state, you ain’t in charge of shit. ❞  // @alyrisa-dorian

force signature : kota’s force signature is a living jungle. when he’s calm, it’s sunny and peaceful and you can see the sunlight make patterns out of the leaves on the trees and the vines, sometimes you might be able to catch an animal playing – little examples of his own playful spirit. he’s deeply connected to his home, so the glittering lakes miles away and the beautiful forests make up who he always will be. when he’s upset, the pouring rain takes over the forest, borderline flash flood. the animals are nowhere to be found, the branches whip against the trees, the whole place feels dark and overwhelming and nothing is in order, nothing is as it should be. he’s only ever been upset enough to spark a forest fire once, and that was probably the worst moment of his life. pray it never happens again. but when he calms down, the rain slows, and the foliage feels comfortable fluffing out again. there might be some mud thanks to the heavy rains but when the sun starts peeking through the trees again, everything feels right again

❝   HISTORY.

in kota’s family, mistakes did not happen. any little thing that happened, whether it was your fault or no one’s fault, was damnable evidence against you as a person. it was walking on eggshells to be perfect, which naturally frustrated the shors children, but it wasn’t like there was anything they could do about it. but it wasn’t bred out of cruelty, but out of pride. it was no mistake that this family was blessed with the force, and therefore they had to do right by it. all the shors children ought to pick careers that kept the balance and protected others. kota was the firstborn, so he had a lot on his plate, a lot of expectations on his shoulders. he chose medicine, because he knew that his abilities would make him better at helping people. his parents were pleased.

this constant requirement to never make mistakes bred a lot of self-doubt and obsession in kota. if they were punished every time something went wrong, even if it was out of their control, what else could he do but put that blame on himself, internalize it, and turn it into a complex? he argues that his obsessive-compulsive behavior makes him a thorough medic. but his fear is debilitating. most days, he can barely get himself out of bed.

he trained to become a jedi by a master that used takodana as a hiding place after the great purge. they helped him in all the most important lessons, how to protect himself, how to fight, how to use the force, but especially how to use the force in his medicine. he was so grateful to them, he promised he’d become a great doctor, just for them. he wasn’t motivated by his family, but by this person helping him from the kindness of their heart, even despite the risk.

growing up, unrest wreaked havoc over the galaxy, and he couldn’t allow people to go without the help they needed. the new republic was floundering and the first order was quick to take the place of the empire, so he knew that war wouldn’t stop for anyone. so regardless of his parents’ wishes to remain at home and self-preserve, when he was eighteen he left takodana in the search of a planet that needed more help than his peaceful one.

he accompanied various rebels, peacekeepers, shock troopers, republic soldiers, anyone and everyone that would recruit him for some help. since he was a human, he could connect to his patients better than a droid could, and thanks to his force sensitivity ( which he definitely had to cloak for the sake of avoiding too much trouble ) he was much better at identifying and solving problems. droids were great, but he had a natural talent for healing.

he wound up befriending everyone he could, simply because people were always nearby and superficial wounds gave them a chance to keep coming back to him for this little problem here or there. it also meant that it hurt that much more to lose someone. his constant fear of making mistakes was shoved in his face whenever someone was injured past the point of saving, and nothing he did could heal them.

when kota was twenty-two, his family notified him that they had fled takodana to try and find a new place to stay. takodana was still relatively peaceful, but rumors of imperial resurgence and overthrow was haunting the villages, and they didn’t want to take the chance. their ship malfunctioned mid-flight and was destroyed, leaving kota completely alone.

❝   ARRIVAL ON BATUU.

at twenty-five, kota knew his time for exploration had run out. it seemed like things in the galaxy were more dire than anyone wanted to admit. many of the groups he ran with wound up dying out or going into hiding, so he had to do what was best and just find somewhere to settle that needed the help. he decided on batuu, which, at the time, had no medical practice to speak of. for their sake and his own, he decided they’d all be better off if they had some way to control any health issues if he started up a general practice to take care of them. since they were so far out, getting supplies could be more difficult, which definitely wasn’t good. and he’d been charmed by the locals and the wonder of the planet, so he knew it would be best for him. there were plenty of people rolling through town on their way to wild space, just trying to escape the first order, so he wasn’t worried about losing interest.

he found a condemned building in town and fixed it up thanks to tiernan, another traveler that had come to establish his life on batuu around the same time. he had money from his time roaming saved up so he could use it now, he took odd jobs to earn enough credits to buy medical equipment, even gambled some for overhead, and by the end of the first month or so, he was established as the town medic. he was fucking lucky, that’s for sure, and he makes a point of saying so. he couldn’t have gotten there without a ton of luck, and maybe the force, who knows. it was no mistake that he was there.

❝   PRESENT.

he lives in an apartment above his work, just to make life easier for himself and others. he’s more than proved that he’s available 24/7, no matter the problem. he belongs to this town, their health and safety is his everything.

he does everything and more, because why the fuck not? medical practice hasn’t changed much over time, and he was always learning and growing throughout his life, so innovation was never an issue. he can perform emergency procedures, surgery, basic health checkups, mental health evaluations and support, dole out medication, deliver babies, he has plenty of training for procedures for all species, he can hype you up… whatever you need, he’s got your back. because medicine is so necessary to survival, he gets enough business to keep his practice in great condition, which only continues to benefit the population. it’s a cycle that works in everyone’s favor.

he read a first order publication pretty early on that warned all force-sensitives to turn themselves in immediately. so naturally, he decided to absolutely not do that and instead cloaked his signature to hide in plain sight. he’s had to do it plenty of times, so he was just fine doing it now. he also had to make sure that if he was going to use the force to heal someone, he’d have to do so very discreetly. he doesn’t consider himself a jedi, how the fuck could he? and he isn’t really interested in getting more training, he has enough to get by and keep his head down.

batuu didn’t really have a government, per se, but kota more or less became the mayor of black spire outpost. he was the one that everyone trusted to get things done, so... he became their representative. much to his surprise.

now that the jedi have resurrected, he has become a master thanks to obi wan and he teaches force healing and signature suppression. he also teaches how to put protections on locations or people.

he’s adopted alyrisa dorian, a young jedi knight. they’re the cutest little family.

he’s dating kaydel co connix and they’re adorable.

❝   HEADCANONS.

he works alone, he likes to work alone, and he’s pretty much always preferred it that way. because he’s so obsessed with the way things should be, he doesn’t like to see other people doing things in a way that might contradict how he would do it. honestly, it’s for everyone else’s sake, he knows he can be a pain. he does have a nurse droid named T-K8E, which he calls ‘katie’. she’s the best, she’s mostly just around if he needs an extra hand.

he makes armor, because he wanted a difficult hobby that could keep him busy on the side. he never likes to be bored.

loves to cook, has lots of takodanan recipes and he makes lots of food for the food drive.

loves the muppets uwu

can’t see very well, is afraid of contacts, his glasses are fucked so he’s just kinda winging it. uses the force for clearer vision. honestly kota, get new glasses you dumbass.

has.... a uhm drug addiction oops let’s not talk about it

ALYRISA.

Alyrisa let her force sense spread out a little, acknowledging the forest that was Kota and then toward the rushing subway of Tristan. It was surprising how well her signature slotted into it, like it was always meant be there. With the information that Kota was giving her it just… seemed to make sense. “I have more family?” She asked softly. 

-

kota gave a little nod. he hoped this was positive news for her -- he’d be there to help her if it wasn’t, of course. he just wanted her to be happy, no matter what that looked like. even if it meant leaving him to go be with her brother. he’d understand. sure, it’d probably break him a little, but he supposed blood would take precedence over paper.  // @alyrisa-dorian @tristan-grieves
