#alex's backstory is. sad. i apologise for this

[albatris]

Hemlo I was on the bus today and was wondering about how darling Alexis was turned into a vampire can you shed some light on this perhaps maybe :)???

Hiii!!

Ya absolutely I can shed some light on this! But I'm afraid it's a pretty depressing series of events :c poor sweet darling Alexis Anders

Here is a short but tragic answer, and then a lil about what immediately follows, tw for brief talk of suicidality, coercion and animal death -

Alex was turned entirely by accident. wrong place wrong time :c

When it was 17 it was attacked by a starving vampire, one who was confused and alone n had been struggling not to hurt anyone, a schoolteacher named Amanda Fies. There was no thought behind the attack, it was just a total loss of control

A hunter stepped in before Amanda could drain Alex (Zeke's old mentor - hi Niamh!) and killed Amanda thus "saving" Alex. Truth be told, she was absolutely about to move on to killing Alex next, knowing it would turn due to its injuries. However, people showed up before she could finish the job and were all like "aaa we heard screaming oh my god that child is bleeding someone call an ambulance", so Alex was whisked away to hospital instead to deal with its blood loss and wounds

Alex dealt with the usual onset of symptoms - sunlight sensitivity, intrusive thoughts, paranoia, isolation, sensory overload, sudden bloodlust - and turned around a week later, when it accidentally killed [REDACTED] who it considered a friend and mentor and who was only there to try and help :c Whole thing is very sad and awful, Alex had a big ol' crisis about it of course and carries a severe amount of guilt, it was a terrible thing to have to go through

Alex spends its early vampire days confused and alone, all the while Niamh is attempting to track down this mystery kid she didn't get a chance to kill. She eventually catches up with Alex a few weeks later, after it had spent some time feeding on animals to try and keep from harming humans

Niamh sits and talks with Alex for a bit, and gently explains that while it can subsist on animal blood for a while, it can't survive solely on animal blood and eventually it will cave to its thirst and kill a human, and it doesn't want that, right? After all, the fact that it's even trying to live off animal blood and is willing to sit and have a civil conversation with a hunter proves it's one of the Good Ones, anyone can see that, smile? Doesn't it want to be a good person and not a monster? Doesn't it understand the only good and moral and kind thing it can do is die? Come on, it won't hurt at all, Niamh is very good with a knife, and this is The Only Right Thing To Do, Alex Knows That, Right?

So um. Yes Niamh very politely but VERY aggressively tries to persuade Alex to just peacefully let her murder it and Alex very nearly listens to her, but its nerve breaks at the last minute, possibly due to its heightened vampiric instinct for self-preservation kicking into overdrive, or possibly just because Alex is a frightened confused kid who doesn't want to die, n Alex bolts

Alex more or less abandons its entire life and skips town shortly after, scared of being tracked down by Niamh again or hurting the ones it loves. Vanishes without a trace as best it can. Then we reach the parts of Alex's story that I've already talked about, where it hops from place to place and attempts to only feed on Bad People and Criminals (and struggles with this because hardly any of the humans Alex can actually access are Bad and Criminals for funsies :c), then it goes to the wilderness for a while and tries to fight god, then it meets Quinn, yada yada

But uhhh yeah!!! yeah the tale of Alex turning is not a fun one unfortunately :(((

But!!! Of course 30-year-old Alex is in a much better place!! even if it still has a lot of work to do with its mental health!! Young Alex has a rough go of it but it's not all doom and gloom I promise

I will let the lad be happy <3333

Rough general rundown on Strike’s backstory until I finish a polished version

CWs: child death, experimentation, physical and emotional child abuse, war, death, the Kaminoans, Strike’s sad love and family life, my sadistic use of smiley emojis during angsty bits

spoilers for the fics I have not written (and one I have) lol

at first the Kaminoans were trying to clone assassins for their own use (bc who doesn’t like having a personal assassin?) but the fast-aging thing they were trying to do didn’t work and they terminated the whole batch, except for one kept by Nala Se as a side project: FC-0025

(ten of the other baby clones were saved by a nice Kaminoan, Gona Ta — the Mandalorian donor’s gf — and sent off to random places in the galaxy a la superman, but no one knows that until later)

FC-0025 is born around 37 BBY. then is trained by Dred Priest and Nala Se. is blissfully unaware of anything on Kamino, after a while starts to visit 99 sometimes (In the Stars segment 1) then gets yeeted off to war like the rest of the vode except Omega ksbdjdbdjdbh

Gets shipped off to planet Maoldis with Blink, is hidden in a supply room for a while, meets OG Theta Squad when they come to get stuff, punches Dryn out of surprise, Blink arrives like the meme with the guy holding pizza walking into the burning room and quickly explains and she joins Theta)

Battle of Teth (TCW film), Torrent gets wiped out, squad dies (some protecting her), she is Big Sad before getting new Theta

They almost die on a mission, but then she accumulates Some Leadership Skills and emotional journey

Battle of Kamino, gets chased by Grievous with '94, a cadet, and tries to protect him but he dies in her arms. she doesn’t know about 99 until Echo tells her [“was he a friend of yours?” “the very first”]

The Citadel, is sad after losing Echo (TCW stuff happens, Ahsoka gets kidnapped, Battle of Mon Cala etc)

Umbara. Gets thrown in the brig for ‘unauthorised communications’ until Rex and Co. mutiny then fights Krell with the others

Fives, Tup die (after In the Stars segment 3), she kind of meets TBB in TCW s7 but leaves with Jesse, Kix and Cody to tend to Cody’s wounds, and they find Echo on Skako

sometime near the end of the war, she finds out that the other clones from her batch exist and goes off to find them. only five of them besides Strike have survived. she brings them back to the Republic, only for the Kaminoans to assert that they are Kaminoan property and therefore have to fight in the war instead of going back to their families. tension moment between Strikey and her new friends but eventually they reach an understanding. they’re still not close, but they’re friends at least.

O66 is declared, she starts to go with Anakin to the Jedi Temple but sees a Padawan (Leo) and runs off to shoot him (she doesn’t remember much of this it’s fuzzzzzyyyy), Alex finds her and manages to KO her to get her de-chipped by a smarty friend with some fancy equipment She wakes up, tries to apologise to Padawan but he runs away, then she runs away and cries (In the Stars segment 9)

She leaves Coruscant, finds TBB in A Super Dark And Creepy Tunnel and kind of makes friends over their non-reg-ness, hangs out with them for a while and finds the Tribunal and Jesse’s helmet, is v sad (In the Stars segment 5)

After two years (17 BBY) ends up on some planet working at a diner for a bit, meets Kaydee and dates her for a while (slightly unrequited on Strike’s part bc she’s still a little in love with Alex. it’s complicated.) but then leaves soon after

At some point after O66, she cries over all her loved ones being missing or dead :) (In the Stars segment 2)

Goes to get a job (bounty hunting?), gets found by rebels in 9-7 BBY and joins the Rebellion (recruited by Cassian), reunites with Alex and they get married, she sees Kaydee in the rebellion again at some point Meets Phoenix Squadron sometime before Rex does, finds him and Ahsoka during Rebels (4 BBY), but then Ahsoka disappears (3 BBY) and she and Rex are sad :( (In the Stars segment 4) participates in the Lothal Liberation Thingy (0 BBY)

Is in the battle of Endor with Rex and Co. (4 ABY), then settles down and Five and Acho are born (9 ABY) then loses Wolffe and then Rex a few years later (16 ABY; In the Stars segment 6) to natural causes

Goes to some planet with a ‘local insurrection’, but SURPRISE! It’s the nascent First Order!! Alex d i e s (21 ABY), Five and Acho’s first childhood trauma \:)

She goes missing a few months later (on First Order investigation with Leia), gets captured and confronts Ben at some point and she just goes ‘something something you’re still the little boy who cried when Acho tripped him on his butt’ ‘I AM nOt I am eVil I am a SIth’ ‘ok lmao’

Eventually she finds her way back to her twins 🥺 and runs into a First Order base and blows it up, Not Throwing Away Her Shot (29 ABY)

Five gets the pistols and Acho gets… the recklessness They become X-wing pilots for the New Republic at first, then the Resistance after buir dies

I have no idea who else to ask so please give me your thoughts on this matter 🙏 It's about the Soul Riders aesthetic and I'm not the best in the topic of clothes and aesthetics.

Alex = Tomboy

Alex grew up in a poor household and I'd think a lot of her clothes would obviously be oversized and masculine themed. I also think her design in Starshine Legacy could be considered Tomboyish but from the 2010s

Lisa = Punk/Grunge/Rock

Lisa is back to her Punk and Rock self. In Star Academy she has some really cool outfits, I'm sad she no longer is a Rockstar but in my Reality, everything can be what I want. 😈

Linda = Light Academia / Academia smth

Anyway, I'm not fully sure about Linda. Light Academia sounds right because she's a geek and a nerd but I'm not sure if it looks light on her cus her outfits are really basic in both games.

Anne = ???

We're now at the part where I need your opinion 🫠 I'm not sure if that's a me thing but I feel like Anne is the least developed out of the Soul Riders and I played Starshine Legacy (didn't read any books or comics though because I'm not a reader). She doesn't lack motivation or backstory, I think Anne obviously comes from a very rich and a very known family who simply puts a ton of pressure on her which makes her act a bit bitchy and middle school famish in Starshine Legacy. Instead she lacks interests Which makes me struggle giving her a proper aesthetic. Also she's rich so she probably can't even express herself properly due do her family most likely being really focused on what they do in public.

I apologise if anything seems like a ramble, I do not have the best attention span 🥲

don't worry about rambling, I don't mind it at all! I love hosting other people's opinions so it's always nice to hear them 〔´∇｀〕

now, onto your question. as someone who has read the books Anne does get more development in them, though her character is a bit different than in the starshine games. personally, I still prefer her starshine version, so that doesn't really matter lol. I'd also like to think her aesthetic stays pretty much the same, which I always invision as some sort of angel core aesthetic. lots of whites and golds, as I personally feel it also fits her fashion interest and it looks really elegant, which Anne has had that vibe for me. not in a princess sense, but in a queen kind of way. and the soft girl aesthetic also fits her, but with more of a white and gold color scheme. and throw in the minimalist aestehtic, too

tl/dr: Anne for me has always embodied the angel core/soft girl/minimalist aesthetic.

ps: for Linda I always opt for a mix of light and dark academia vibes since I associate darker greens with her bc of the starshine games

Hey, what was the context of Jemma saying 'I'm a tart for a laugh' at the talk on Saturday? could you do like a summary of things she said? xxx thanks!!!

I can absolutely do a summary!! The ‘I’m a tart for a laugh’ was in response to what her favourite role was, which was a farce that she did many moons ago (I cannae remember what it was called tho)

I’ll stick the rest under a cut here, bc it’s about to get long lads (99% of this is paraphrasing bc i have a brain like a sieve):

she said bloody hell like twice in the first 2 seconds and apologised bc of the kiddos (didn’t stop her from doing this adorable giggle after she said ‘brick shithouse’ like 5 mins later though)

she loves doing big finish stuff, but she said that in the tv show kate is a lot more still whereas in the audios ‘IM SAVING THE WORLD ALL THE TIME!’ and in the booth she’s way more animated actually throwing punches and doing a lot of running on the spot to make her out of breath and shit, so ironically the audio stuff is way more physical but she loves it & it is really fun

she loves bramwell and was super inspired by her when it comes to feminism bc women back then had it so so hard (also she loved the costumes the more it went on, the ‘brick shithouse’ comment came in here when she was talking about eleanor’s ridiculous sleeves in the first series, and how most of her shots were filmed from the waist upwards, so anyone that met her couldn’t believe she was so tiny with those stupid football player shoulder puffs)

she grew up watching doctor who so it was so natural playing kate bc 'i grew up being [the brig’s] daughter’ (she was so excited when DW got rebooted!!)

she got really emo abt NHS doctors and she is so in awe of them and the medical professionals that help out on holby (but she cant remember medical jargon lmao 'LFTs… Us and Es… christ please don’t ask me to remember any more’)

ALSO SHE ISN’T FLUENT IN ANY OTHER LANGUAGES !!! she speaks 'schoolgirl french’ but its her boys that are good at languages ('OTHER LANGUAGES??? I CAN BARELY SPEAK MEDICAL STUFF’)

she would pick serena over alex any day (everyone cheered)

also when she was asked if her and catherine would stay pals post-holby she was like ‘oh yes’ and did a v lovely puppy smile my heart is still melting two days later

the lack of lesbian representation makes her sad so she is humbled by how big berena is but she says its really telling of how little stories there are about lesbians (but many more abt gay men)

she fucking rattled off a sonnet that i cant remember for the life of me but the kid that asked her was 7 years old and she was like ‘...i’m gonna kill myself’ bc this actual child knows more abt sonnets than she does

someone asked her abt a role and she got distracted talking about how nice the lunches were and that she loves lunch (and food) also shoutout to this guy called toby who is apparently the master of good lunches

she likes to headcanon stuff for her characters that don’t have a lot of backstory (which is where the gay kate thing comes from, which she also couldn’t remember saying lmao)

she’s heartbroken that kate hasn’t been in the tardis and she REALLY wants to travel with the doctor she would do it in a heartbeat

matt is her doctor bc she worked with him first, but she loved pertwee growing up

bernie ties up her hoodie with the little bow bc it is SO COLD OUTSIDE the studio like she had to keep asking them to let her do it and there is never any sun 'only for like… one hour?? In the middle of august???’ so it is a jemma thing and not a bernie thing

also that fucking line in bramwell abt the enema is her fave and she and michelle dotrice KILLED EACH OTHER W LAUGHTER and it would only take one look for them to break down on set 

she also talked a bit about other plays she’s done, but i was too busy heart-eyeing to pay any attention to what was actually going on bc she is horrendously pretty

when asked if bernie and connie (from casualty) would work well together she was literally like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

uuuuuh that’s all i can remember really, i’m so sure i missed a bunch of things so i am calling on everyone else to fill in the blanks for me and/or correct anything that isn’t even right but i suppose we will see when someone properly uploads it somewhere :^)
