NPC Sunday. NPCunday? (Any day can be NPC Sunday when you really put your mind to it)

Thanks @frauleiiin for the tag!

Today I will be turning my beloved Aresyl Kallig into an NPC

((imagining the expansions haven't happened and Aresyl is on the Dark Council))

--What kind of NPC would your character be? Where could you find them?

I can see Aresyl being either the mentor figure or character you have to go to for help. I mean, she has girl bossing to do, she's not going to be the NPC to idly stand around or follow the MC around. You could find Aresyl on Dromund Kaas in her office or on Nar Shaddaa with her cult, but you have to catch her at the right time!

--Merchant - what would they sell?

Artifacts, antiques, and information. To be honest Aresyl gives away more money than she asks for (she has more credits than she would ever want), but she could give you some exclusive items in exchange for your service.

--Quest Giver - what's the quest? One off or chain? The reward?

Remember the cult the Sith Inquisitor acquires during the class story? Aresyl used the cult at first as a kind of side hustle- she'd have the members make credits from the underworld/black market for a cut of the pay. Later, once the cult grew, she used it as more of a charity. She'd use the profits to fund rescue missions for escaping slaves and help them reach stability. Eventually, a large chunk of the "cult" (she kept the title as not to raise suspicion) was freed slaves given employment.

All that to say! If you're visiting Aresyl because of Nar Shaddaa connections, she would be a side quest giver, assigning you to help her operations. She'd give you a cut of any money you make, but the MC would be most interested in the exclusive items she'd give in exchange.

--Companion - How do you unlock them? Do they have a specific companion quest line?

Honestly, I can't imagine Aresyl being anything more than a temporary companion like Darth Marr. An essential part of her arc is being a leader, so I just don't think she'd join a random crew unless the situation really demanded it.

--Rrrrrrromanceable? 😘😍💘💌⚘️🥀 What's the reward?

No way, haha! Before she was officially with Theron, Aresyl was a big flirt, but unfortunately that's only because she also has a habit of messing with people. If you tried to flirt with her, she'd either scoff you off, laugh in your face, or subtly make fun of you by flirting back. Aresyl might lead the MC on if they don't recognize her sarcasm, but there's no way she'd ever actually commit to anything.

--Regular NPC - what's their dialog?

*Ambient soft chuckling* *Ambient scoffs*

(She's not very talkative haha)

Very casually tagging (if you're interested) @califrey, @swtorpadawan, @blackberry-command-cap, @serenxanthe, @fernfrond-inks, @veil-nebula, and anyone else who wants to join!
