About: Seekers

Seekers, a colloquial name used for most Vosnians these days, are a basic frame-type common to the floating city of Vos.

The definer of most seekers is the crook-ended wing (up to four), thruster pedes (up to ten per foot), and somewhat excessive ventage (used as identifier). Heads can vary deeply, but the common ones are pictured; sometimes, they even blend. Armor doesn't change much between civilian models and militant models.

Almost all Vosnians are born as part of a trine, or triplets. Traditional structures of the trine place the First Born (one stripe) as leader, Second Born (two stripe) as protector, and Third Born (three stripe) as agrivator. This varies greatly in actual usage but most Trines are run by the first born. Trines are expected to work as a unit with little complaint or in-fighting, a concept often contested by the basic law of siblings.

Head molds vary greatly, but all trinemembers will share the same basic shape. Head molds also seem somewhat influenced by the current ruling party: most younger Seekers are cat-molded, while many older Seekers use the prior King's bird-mold. The ruling trine tends to flip between cat, bird, and visor: no Liege has been snapper or cone.

The name 'Seeker' derives from their initial use in hunting. Many prefer the more modern interpretation of this nickname, where it refers to colony-finders.

Most are Decepticons. Any Seekers who align themselves otherwise are at great risk, as all of Vos was dutied to Megatron's cause. Thus, most have tinted red optics; they naturally have quite the rainbow of shades.

Notable examples:

Two examples of somewhat more unusual models.

Slipstream is a UAV-modeled Seeker, lacking a decorative cockpit. Like most nobles, she has a stone embedded in her helm. Her four-paneled wings allow for excellent maneuverability in the air, well earning her name.

Sunstorm is a Megatronus Throwback, and a rather volitile one at that. His brainwashing was admittingly a little much, leading to the constant smile and seeping rust down his cheeks; but the assureness that he very much loves his Queen is not enough for everyone else, so he gets bomb-collared like the rest. Poor, pathetic thing is about ready to pop anyway. Best to just be careful.

The ruling party is comprised of Starscream (third-born, Queen), Thundercracker (first-born, notary), and Skywarp (second-born, pilot). Unlike most trines, Starscream is not actually related to her siblings: she was brought in before they were installed into their bodies, with the prior third being discarded in her favour. Despite this, she's had her trine modded to better resemble herself and insists on much of their bodyplans.

In fact, she insists on much. Their paint, makeup, and decorative finishes are deeply monitered and enforced. TC wanted rings for her brow: Starscream required garnets, to better match her. Neither is allowed to outshine her, even as she tells them they never would.

Thundercracker is the only non-outlier in this trine. Skywarp's ability as a teleporter gives her unprecedented skill in manuevering through spacebridges, a thing she doesn't even need to bind her eyes for. And Starscream was literally hand-delivered by Primus (or so everyone says), which is awfully special even before you consider her weird spark.

You, uh, can kinda see how that's resting on poor Thundercracker there.

Mace: *dragging Kenobi and Vos out of the slam poetry night by their tunic collars and stops Tholme and Jinn from leaving them behind* No, you heard our rules after last week’s incident, they’ve been banned!

Qui-Gon: *ready to argue* What in the galaxy could my sweet baby padawan have done to get kicked out?

Tholme: I must admit, despite Jinn’s willful ignorance, I understand that mine could get banned, but he never mentioned it so I would like to know what he did.

Mace: Obi-Wan wrote a poem about a galaxy wide war that gave seventeen people True Visions and I had a shatterpoint migraine till last night. So for him it’s either me or him in that room and I’m the host so it’s me.

Qui-Gon: *taking a sheepish Obi-Wan into his arms for a pity cuddle cause that poem had led to like four straight days of council sessions and an enslaved Dathomiri child being found in a senator’s house on Naboo* To be fair. Obi-Wan had some good points.

Tholme: I’m scared to ask. What did mine do?

Mace: He didn’t write a poem so he went up to the mic and started licking it. It was the most disgusting noise I ever heard. If he gets near a mic I might have to drop kick him. Safer for him out here.

Tholme: *deep sigh of sadness* Yeah that sounds like something he’d do.

Doodling in between studying for the final state exam tomorrow. Wish me luck!

commander fox as the stakeholder specialist on an interview panel for a new pantoran security official. he thought he was turning up for the usual briefing. he has never sat on an interview panel in his life—he learnt what one was approximately twenty minutes ago.

the panel is him, riyo chuchi, her current head of security, and bail organa (padmé isn’t allowed on interview panels anymore because she intimidates people).

fox manages to get through the day without anyone seeing him sweat (buckets: so useful) and vibrates his way back to the barracks to yell thorn from bed because he’s had an amazing idea.

rex, opening his comms: what’s an ‘annual review panel’ and why is fox sending me an appointment for one? is this a joke?

cody, having read his own messages and still cross about it: why am i interviewing to be his brother. i’m already his brother. do i have to go?

ponds, via holo, serenely: yes 😌 i’m on the panel 😌 and i’m taking notes 😌

Question: whose Cal Kestis other parent?

On another day I would have told you that can be anyone, even a random stranger he met on a bar- BUT THEN, @babygirlbridger and @krispyswips infected me with the brainworms via discord chats and this Fic [To Out Halcyon Days] (E) that I'm so obsessed with!!

So yes, is Quinlan.

But Obi and his stewjoni biology are so powerful that his womb just photocopies himself.

As promised earlier today, here's the separate post of the new guys and their icons :3 Well. The guys who have something new to show for themselves (as is the case with Maul, Kit and Shaak Ti). I took some extra care to make Luke and Leia have the same face and eye shape, same with Omega and a younger Boba. I'm also sorry about Fives' blue tint, okay? TBB!Echo just fit better to stand out without a body and a whole character T^T (You guys, I cannot wait to get to Sabine and Ezra's character drawings!!)

And then there are these babies too: they are squishy and adorable Q^Q

More of the Star Wars meets Hades AU (I'm trying to give monthly updates on my progress with it), and the other collections of character icons for the Mandalorian half and the Prequels bunch specifically.

Her Majesty loves Pomgarnets. They're a rarer gem-fruit, being rather difficult to grow outside of certain climates and soil constitutions. She has a small tree in the orchid dedicated to this snack, but it struggles to fruit without help from someone she's a bit loathe to owe favours to.

If you ever want to be in her favour, even if it is only for a few minutes, offer her one. Rumors going about the Vos is that Swindle's very life is tied to gathering these fruits: she's the only thing keeping Megatron from taking his capitalistic head off.

Her Host, Liege Maximo, also quite enjoys these gem-fruits. Most colony ships are so large that finding anything with flavour is quite hard, so feeling taste through their Cityspeakers suppliments their rather bland solar-energon diet.

Maximo still snacks on meteors and comets on occasion. Not too often, mind you. Forward and selfish as they are, they know how consumption can look; and having lost limbs to that bias tends to sour most sweet comets anyway.

quinlan, full on staring at cody as the commander sat chewing on dry oats beside obi-wan, tapping away at his datapad: why the oats.

obi-wan, fondly: he likes them that way.

quinlan: seriously?

cody, nonchalantly: it's efficient.

quinlan: ugh, does foxy do this?

cody: no.

quinlan: good.

cody: ..but he does have a caffeine addiction, im sure you've noticed it. i would think that is more concerning. he practically inhales it.

obi-wan, humming in agreement as though he doesn't drink an abnormal amount of tea when he has the time: cody is quite right.

quin: DRY oats. obes that's..

cody, flatly: at least i'm not like skywalker.

obi-wan, shuddering, squeezing cody's now oat-free hand: thankfully. and please.. do refrain from having an appetite for bugs, if possible.

cody, raising an eyebrow, just pressing a soft kiss to obi-wan's cheek.

quinlan, still just stood in front of them: wtf.

What happens when padawan quin miraculously comes back from a shadow mission gone wrong…

More quinobi, now with a side of angst!!

And look, I adore quinlans locks, but sometimes sacrifices must be made for the plot (I will not ask for forgiveness)

although most of his beautiful hair clasps are gone, at least obi was able to hold onto one for him (what he thought was likely the last piece of quin he had left) 💔

Quinlan: *stands up wearing a pair of silk pants with a matching tank top, turns so he can show it off* Guys, I have the best news ever. It turns out, Fox wasn’t ghosting me, he was on trial for murdering the chancellor. He was guilty but they’re letting him walk because the chancellor was a Sith so this is what I’m wearing to his award ceremony for it. *does a cute little spin and shows off his polished boots* It’s gonna be awesome, Senator Organa is holding the after party which means Obi-Wan will show up already drunk it’s gonna be great.
