#also fuck belsavis and scorpio

[serenofroses]

revised Agent storyline for chapter 3 in my canon divergent verse by sacking Belsavis arc and retcon the fate of Intelligence where it didn't get disbanded but comes with... cost of consequences.

[rainofaugustsith]

Apropos of nothing, some Viri head canons.

I play Viri as a very intelligent, pragmatic and cunning warrior who can be ruthless when necessary, but tries to avoid hurting civilians and the weak. 

1. When Baras asks her to recite the Sith Code in the game (Korriban) and she makes something up, she’s fucking with him. The woman has been in training since she was a preschooler, and she knows the Code backwards, and she is insulted by the suggestion that she doesn’t, so she decides to pull Baras’s chain.       2. Viri’s favored lightsaber form is Ataru, but she’s very skilled in several others, such as Soresu, Shien and Shii-Cho, and her trademarks are mixing forms constantly so her opponents don’t know what’s coming next and moving extremely quickly. She’s also very precise, and jumps around a lot. She completely sucks at throwing lightning, but she’s very good at mastering the Force in other ways, such as healing and Force Crush.   3. Viri hates torture, so if she’s going to kill someone, she does it quickly.   4. She knows from Day One that Baras will use her only until he deems her obsolete or too powerful, and then will try to destroy her. Thus, she has no compunction about thwarting Baras at every  turn. She saves Tremel (I retconned this LOL), allies with Rathari, etc.        5. She also makes as many friends and alliances as she can, because of point 4, and is willing to learn from anyone who actually wants to teach her something. However, she never lets Baras know just how powerful she is, and how much she’s learned outside of his apprenticeship. 6. She’s not a pushover, and if you try to kill her, you will  die, unless you have a very, very compelling reason. Thus, she lets Rathari and Tremel go, but she has no mercy for people who try to murder her in the Academy; Jedi who try to kill her; Senya; Arcann; SCORPIO; etc. They all die, and Viri doesn’t regret it at all. 

But by the same token, she will let people go if they are not trying to hurt her and are weaker, including Republic soldiers (Belsavis, Nar Shaddaa stories, etc.), and she makes the Dread Masters stop when they try to torture the Republic team. . 

7. Quinn joins her crew as Baras’s spy on the ground, and she knows it. Viri does  not like Quinn on a good day. After the incident, Viri has Quinn sent to prison and he is no longer on her crew. The only reason Viri does not kill him on the spot is because she knows Baras would have her arrested for killing an Imperial officer. But he can’t do anything about her turning him in for attempted assassination of a Sith, as well as theft of that Imperial cruiser.

Viri refuses to work with Quinn when he surfaces after KOTET and insists that Acina sends someone else. She sends Major Orzik, who was the Black Talon’s captain and worked well with Viri there. 8. Viri and Major Pierce get along very well, and work closely on many of Viri’s projects during both her Wrath and Alliance days. 

9. Viri helps Vette take out as many slavers as possible, and uses her wealth to free any of Vette’s friends, family, etc  that she can. Even though Viri stops Vette from attacking that Hutt in the game after her mother dies, Viri also makes sure that Hutt and his slavers have an unfortunate mishap shortly thereafter.

10. She also buys Imperial citizenship for Vette and lets her use her surname, so she can’t be enslaved again. They consider themselves sisters for real, so this means something to both of them. So Vette’s actual name is now Ce'na Revarre - she takes Viri’s middle name as her surname (which is her father’s name), because ‘Dragoi’ would attract too much attention and potentially make Vette a target. 11. In the game Viri has LS Jaesa, but in head canon, Jaesa fully embraces the Dark Side but does not go off the rails. Thus, she is  a Sith, but not sadistic and cruel. 

12. In the Sith world, the acolytes further their academic educations, too. Viri is gifted in STEM and thus was able to go to the University of Corellia and finish a science degree before hitting Korriban (similarly, Lana was sent to Kaas City University and has a double degree in polisci and Sith history).     13. Viri gets sterilized and has a hormone implant (the equivalent of the Pill) when she’s 18, because she knows she never wants kids, and will not negotiate on that.   14. Viri’s first mentor was Darth Merwo, who was an apprentice of Darth Vowrawn.   15. Viri is very edgy in areas with rakghoul plague because her parents and Darth Merwo died in a rakghoul attack on Taris. She insists on always carrying two doses of the vaccine and nobody can dissuade her from this.

I found this and thought it would be fun to fill out. If you’re reading this, consider yourself ‘tagged’ and tag me in your answers! I’m curious how my opinions differ from others in the fandom.

GENERAL

Your main(s) name: I know I’m supposed to have a “main”, but I don’t really know that I do. The character I play new content with first is my never-made-a-dark-decision Consular, who is also the first character with whom I finished a class story. Her name is Maralla. However, I would say I have a “main” for each class that I focus on to do post-vanilla game content. (Except Smuggler, Trooper, and Knight, which I haven’t taken through any kind of expansion. I’ll get around to it eventually. I do have characters that I would specifically use for those classes, though. Does any of my ridiculousness make sense?)

Your main(s) level: All of them are level 60+ at this point.

Your main(s) class: I’m gonna say that I have multiple “main” OC, all of whom have completed at least some post-vanilla content. So.. 2 Consulars, 2 Warriors, 1 Inquisitor, 1 Bounty Hunter, 1 Agent.

Your server: Star Forge! I do have two on Satele Shan, though. I didn’t have any character slots left, so I transferred one to Satele Shan and deleted a few unused ones.

How long have you been playing SWtOR: Since either May or June of 2016.

Why did you start: My boyfriend suggested that we play together as a bonding thing when we can’t physically be together. (It’s funny. He rarely plays anymore because he gets bored with things and has to shuffle through what he’s playing at a given time.)

FAVORITE

Planet(s): Rishi! If you want me to pick from the base game, then definitely Voss. Honorable Mentions: Yavin 4, Dromund Kaas, Imperial Balmorra, Alderaan, and Korriban.

NPC(s): How long do you have? Jonas Balkar, Hunter, Grandpa Kallig, Darth Zash, Keeper, Watcher Two, Darth Marr, Darth Vowrawn, Aristocra Saganu, Sanju Pyne, Darmas Pollaran, Master Orgus, Tai Cordan, Tobas Grell, Attros Finn, Ardun Kothe, Sergeant Jaxo, Lokir-Ka, Tora... Okay, I need to stop.

Companion(s): Oh geez. How am I supposed to choose? The first ones to come to mind are Vector, Theron, Quinn, Light Jaesa, Vette, Zenith, Jorgan, Kira, Doc, Andronikos, Talos, Khem, and Torian.

Class: Agent! (Followed by Consular and Inquisitor.)

Discipline (madness, combat, carnage…): Infiltration for a Jedi Shadow (Consular) and Concealment for an Operative (Agent).

Moment: I have so many! The female Warrior flirting with Quinn during the Balmorran Arms Factory debriefing, the female Bounty Hunter distracting Torian with a flirt to flip him and point a gun at his face, the female Imperial OC Force choking or Force lightning-ing or punching the sexist asshole on Quesh, the Consular getting an Esh-ka name, the Agent’s final battle with Hunter, the Warrior’s final battle with Baras, the Inquisitor’s final ghostly battle with Thanaton, the Doc proposal/marriage conversation, the Moff Broysc saga with Quinn, KhemZash, the end of the Agent story... Okay, that’s way too many examples.

LEAST FAVORITE

Planet(s): Corellia, Ord Mantell, Hutta, Belsavis (even though it’s pretty), and Taris.

NPC(s): Darth Baras, Darth Zhorrid, General var Suthra, Tarro Blood, Skavak, Falner Oeth, Duke Kendoh, Senior Agent Zane, Nomen Karr, Master Kaedan, Darth Ravage, and Thana Vesh. I guess you can include Darth Jadus, too, because he scares the shit out of me. I’m sure that I’m missing some..

Companion(s): I tag all of the companions by their actual names.. Except for “Fucking Skadge” and “That Asshole Pierce”. Tanno Vik, Sergeant Rusk, Dark Jaesa, SCORPIO, Corso, Guss, Broonmark, Koth, and Kaliyo are at the bottom of my list, also.

Class: Trooper. Without a doubt.

Discipline: I don’t really know off the top of my head. I only knew the ones I put as my favorites because I had them in my phone for some reason.

Moment: KOTET Chapter 8, Iokath/Umbara, the decision after the second boss fight on Copero, the Quinncident, the seemingly endless appearances of Draahg, the death of Master Orgus, the Jaxo thing, Falner Oeth’s bullshit, Vette’s final companion quest, the end of the Knight story (as a result of the expansions released after), etc.

GUILD

Currently in guild(s): Yeah. I don’t think any two of my characters are in the same guild. Whoops. I did have a guild full of kind people that taught me about crew skills and crafting, but there was some kind of break-up that happened at some point. Now I’m a drifter.

Currently GM: Does GM stand for guildmaster? (I always associate it with the baseball acronym for general manager.) If so, no. If not, I have no idea what I’m being asked.

Have you been in a PvP, RP, Social, PvE, Conquest oriented guild: The aforementioned guild did regular raids and stuff.. But I don’t have a set guild at this point.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Are you Legendary: Yes! It makes Heroic Moment very useful.

Do you PvP: Nope.

Do you do Galactic Starfighter: I’ve never done it before. I feel like I would need to do it with an actual mouse and not the one built into my laptop, and I can’t find my old mouse. It always looked fun, though.

Completed Chapters: For the vanilla game? All.

EXPANSIONS COMPLETED

Rise of the Hutt Cartel: Yes.

Shadow of Revan: Yes.

Knights of the Fallen Empire: Yes.

Knights of the Eternal Empire: Yes.

QUESTIONS

Have you ever tried to fight a world boss solo? Yeah. That was a complete accident. I was very new to SWTOR and gaming in general, and I knew that starred bosses gave bigger rewards, so I had a mid-teens leved character on Coruscant try to beat the world boss. Whoops.

Most hilarious/embarrassing death(s)? I have a propensity to fall off of things. Especially elevators. I have poor depth perception, apparently.

What do you miss from the old SWtOR? I don’t think I've been around long enough to know how to answer this.

What do you like from the new updates? The newest one? I guess the fact that three companions came back at all, even though I would have loved for everyone to get Andronikos as a companion, not just Inquisitors.

Most hilarious/embarrassing PvP moment? I’ve never done it.

Anything else you’d like to add? I wish the Voss were available as a playable race. I know that would never happen, but it’s nice to dream.

[meonlyred]

MEME! 14, 23, 27

14. Favorite planet story arc?

I think my favorite planet story arc is Imp side Belsavis planet story. I love when you meet the Dread Lords for the first time and being able to tell them to go fuck themselves when they try to mind dominate you. I also really like Pub side Nar Shaddaa. Where you find out just how evil the Empire is by committing mass genocide against the Evocii. It’s kinda satisfying to kill that Imp dude while playing an Alien Pub. 

23. Share some of your favorite quotes/dialogue with us!

Oh man this is a hard one. There are so many. 90% of the shit that comes out of the Smuggler’s mouth is golden. The snark you can lay down in KotFE and KotET is amazing. 

My favorites probably include:Jaesa to a Light Side Sith Warrior: “Your conviction and purity bring a reckoning that can not be denied.”Bounty Hunter to Darth Marr: “If I spent as much time hunting Jedi as I did your kind, we’d might be winning this war.“Master Kaedan to the Consular at the end of the class story: “After the First Son’s shield collapsed, we suddenly felt every Child of the Emperor. The Darkness screams at us, they can never hide again.”The Smuggler on Ilum: “They are not the type of Sith who have been physically corrupted by the Dark Side, are they? You know how their skin gets all wrinkled, grey, and gross.”Theron post Ziost: “Growing up I had an idea about who and what I would be. In a lot of ways that didn’t happen. But in the ways that matter, what I’m saying I belong with the SIS. I’m not throwing in the towel.“ The Smuggler on Ziost: “The galaxy eating ghost is worried because… he thinks I’m gonna beat him in a quick draw?”Vitiate to the Knight on Ziost: “That’s all right, though. Seeing you, it’s like visiting with a forgotten friend. I’m oddly pleased you’re here.”Lana talking to SCORPIO and Theron: “Five minutes. Can we please go five minutes without you two at each other’s throats?” The Commander: “Setting the clock… three… two… one…”

There are more but I think those are my favorites. 

27. If you could make any current NPC a player companion, who would you pick?

JONAS BALKAR! Ahem…
