#darthmarrsgf asks

[murder-and-mayhem]

ok I just remembered I liked that emoji ask post you reblogged yesterday to come back and send you an ask lmao SO, for any oc(s!!!!!) you want: 👁️, 💥, 🌙, 🙈, 🌌, ✏️ , 💘 (and if that’s too many just pick your faves of course!!)

OMG YAY!!! I'm so sorry it took me so long to post these. Work has been BRUTAL lately and it took me a minute to get my thoughts organized on these, but thank you so much for the asks! I'm gonna post them below the cut so people don't have to scroll through my wall of text because....well, you know me.

👁️ - What color are their eyes? Do people notice their eyes? Is there anything special about them (shows emotion easily, literally magical...)?

Jaidys/Torvahl - Both mother and son have very striking silver-blue eyes—nearly white they're so pale.

While Jaidys' eyes are one of her more prominent features, they often aren't the first thing people notice about her. Her appearance is a little eccentric for a Sith considering she favors all-white clothing and blatantly displays her slave brands. However, when people do look into her eyes it is a deeply unsettling experience. Her gaze is cruel, cold, and unyielding, leaving you with the sickening feeling that you are being stalked by a predator.

Torvahl inherited Jaidys' strange eye color, however where his mother's eyes hold malice, Torvahl's are distinctly kind. When he was younger he absolutely hated his eyes. Anything that reminded him of Jaidys filled him with absolute dread, and he assumed that others would only ever see a Sith when they looked at him. This was especially true when he first arrived on Tython. Imagine his shock when he arrived at the temple only to find out that he was actually rather...boring. Basically just another run-of-the mill human, and he was thrilled. He does get a lot of compliments on his eyes since they're his most noticeable feature. It always makes him happy to know that people find them warm and comforting instead of instilling the fear that Jaidys' gaze always inflicted.

💥 - What emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

Lizseth - Lizseth does not handle guilt well. At all. When she finds out the galaxy has gone to hell after her five year stint in carbonite, she is convinced that it's entirety her fault and the thought makes her physically ill. She feels like she abandoned her companions, her friends, her husband...everyone. Even though she knows that her imprisonment was beyond her control, it doesn't stop her from hating herself for not fighting harder.

In order to function, she essentially has to shut down all emotion, but she isn't as good at it as she thinks she is. As Alliance Commander, she takes every loss personally, and Lana and Theron worry about her constantly. When she slowly begins to reunite with her companions, her heart bleeds for the suffering they went through.

This is especially true for Torian.

When they finally have a moment alone on Darvannis, it takes him clutching her face in his hands and practically shaking her before he gets her calm down long enough to listen to him.

It wasn't her fault. It never was.

🌙 - What is your OC's greatest wish? How far are they willing to go for it?

Torvahl - Torvahl's greatest wish is to be reunited with his sister, despite knowing that there's a high chance she isn't the person that he remembers. He vehemently believes that at the very least he owes her an explanation for leaving her all those years ago, even if she refuses to forgive him—or worse, tries to kill him. It's a wish that he harbors in secret. The Jedi Council would hardly approve of him hunting down a Sith during his scarce moments of downtime, and more importantly wanting to reconnect with her goes against the Jedi Code. So, how far is he willing to go? His sister is important enough for him to break the very Code he's sworn to and risk his place among the Jedi, however he wouldn't put the lives of others at risk to make it happen. If anyone has to face the threat of death or exile it will be him and him alone.

🙈 - What's a side of your OC that they don't want to show other people?

Sehlaan - It may be cliché, but she struggles with showing vulnerability in any capacity, including her love life. She was raised to believe that any show of weakness was a death sentence—a belief that was often proven true, especially during her time at the Academy and during her apprenticeship. When she's on the battlefield, her stoicism is a virtue. She knows from experience that leading armies demands that she be a pillar of strength and resolve. Any crack in her façade could tank morale as well as put her ability to lead into question. This was especially true during the operation on Yavin-4 and during her leadership of the Alliance. One false move while commanding an army composed of two warring factions would have killed both endeavors in their infancy.

It's a different story when it comes to her relationships—both platonic and romantic. Her stubborn refusal to relinquish control and just allow herself to be a human being often did more harm than good. After being burned during her relationship with Malavai Quinn, she was determined to never let anyone worm their way under her skin again. Then she met Arcann, and she slowly began to open up in order to help him heal. She found it was easier to be herself around him, which in turn allowed her to open up in her friendships with Lana, Jaesa, and Theron. Sehlaan still has days where she struggles, but it's easier to remind herself that she doesn't have to be perfect all of the time—that she is allowed to have moments of doubt and to feel insecure.

🌌 - What was the inspiration behind your OC? What was the first thing you decided about them?

Sehlaan - I don't know if I had any particular inspiration for Sehlaan. She just kind of came to life in the character creator, and the more I fleshed her out in-game the more I loved her. The first things I decided about her? I knew that she would 100% be played neutral and eventually lean towards more light-side choices in a nice redemption arc. I also had her family tree sorted pretty much immediately. I knew she was going to be the daughter of my SI, and that she would have a Jedi brother.

✏️ - Is there a particular quote/lyric that you associate with them?

Jaidys - "A smiling face draped over stone cold eyes / reflecting a fire, fueled with lies" — "Vaudeville" by Priest

Lizseth - "She's a Killer Queen/ Gunpowder, Gelatine/ Dynamite with a laser beam/ Guaranteed to blow your mind" — Killer Queen by Queen (of course)

Sehlaan - "The darkness was a cocoon / Just like the moth, I escape the gloom / A sparkle deep within / Let out the flame that begot me to win" �� "The Pit" by Priest

Edge lord lyrics probably but ✨oh well ✨

💘 - What traits do they look for in a relationship? Do they believe in love at first sight?

Sehlaan - Sehlaan does not believe in love at first sight. At all. She believes that you need to truly know the good and the bad that comes with a person—all of their quirks and annoying habits, the things that keep them up at night and the traumas that come into the relationship with them—otherwise you are simply in love with a façade. It's one of the reasons she and Arcann work so well together. She knows him inside and out, and every day she chooses to love the good and the bad that comes with him just as he does with her.

When it comes to relationships, she looks for comfort and solace. To her, being with your partner should feel like home no matter where you are in the galaxy. She also looks for a solid friendship in her partner. If she can't find common ground with a person and enjoy their company platonically, throwing romance/sex into the mix would only be a recipe for disaster.

Lizseth - Lizseth doesn't believe in love at first sight either. In her eyes, love at first sight is a prettier way to justify pure animal attraction. There's nothing wrong with lust. She just believes that there's a lot more work required than simply looking at someone and deciding you love them.

When it comes to partners, Lizseth wants someone who can make her laugh. If the person she's interested in has no sense of humor, she doesn't even waste her time. She also craves intimacy in all of its forms, despite being a bit of a hard ass in most other aspects of her life. She wants to be wooed by her partner—though not necessarily in the traditional sense of the word. She enjoys a good game of cat and mouse in her relationships. This means flirting, teasing, lingering touches, and heated glances—the thrill of the chase even if she's already in a committed relationship with that person. It all boils down to the fact that Lizseth needs to feel wanted. The moment she feels like she's a burden to someone, the relationship crashes and burns.

[murder-and-mayhem]

Excuse me hi yes hello um....the angst??? It hurt so good and I KNOW I DID IT TO MYSELF. My heart ached so much for Naya and Nikos jus reading that little snippet 🥺 (if you have the fic posted anywhere I'd love to read it 👀)

I feel the Darth Marr thing on a spiritual level. He may be a Sith, but istg he was the only one who was worth a damn in the entire Empire. My Warrior had mad respect for him, especially when he stood up to Valkorion at the end knowing he would probably die.

In other news, I love your inquisitor and her story the more I learn about her. Reading about how her motivation is more freedom than power? And how she refuses to lose herself by chasing power? I love it. I admire a character who has a strong sense of self and a enough willpower to fight the status quo. I went the opposite with Jaidys because I wanted a Dark V character (I also struggle with being a dick in a video game, and it physically hurt me choosing the mean choices). She had a taste of power after a life in the slave pens and lost her fuckin mind.

So TL;DR Unayah is a boss and I fuckin love her.

💢🌌🎭🎵📎💧❄️🌪💚 (anger, milky way, masks, music note, paper clip, droplet, snowflake, tornado, green heart). Okay friend, this is for any OC(s!!) your heart desires! I know went nuts with the choices so feel free to pick your favorites 💖😬

omg omg ok ty so much for the ask and sorry it took me a second to think through everything bc i loveeee to ramble!! i picked my faves for my inquisitor/darth imperius, unayah (who btw is really slaying kotfe with the color crystal you gave me! thank you again!!):

• 🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

Not so much inspiration I guess, but part of why I gravitate toward the Inquisitor storyline so much is because I really like characters who’ve been betrayed or taken advantage of people they thought they could trust (esp people who were in a position of authority over them), and how they grow and assert their independence from that. So pretty much from the beginning, I knew that because of her background, Naya would be pretty skeptical and independent. I have a really hard time picking the mean options in video games lol so I also kind of knew all along she would end up mostly light side but I think that’s consistent with her character—she’s always been more motivated by freedom than power. The power is nice if it’s on offer but she’s not going to lose herself to attain it.

• 🎭 MASKS - do they act differently around certain people? what's different between the way they act around friends, family, strangers, etc.?

Definitely. It’s a survival mechanism, and one she takes pretty seriously, as she knows that any perceived weakness is dangerous when dealing with other Sith. I think she definitely shields the kind of impression she gives in the Force to hide her use/acceptance of the light side and doesn’t drop that for anyone (except Ashara, to gain her trust, and Lana, because she trusts her) until well after she’s escaped the Empire and established a life as a member of the Alliance. In terms of general demeanor, she definitely lets her cold and snarky side rule when she’s dealing with other Sith. Andronikos sees the softest and most thoughtful sides of her, though he quickly realizes the snark is 24/7 and not an act, which is one of the things that initially drew him to her.

• 🎵 MUSIC NOTE - what is their playlist like? their favourite artists? do you associate a particular song with them?

I didn’t expect to have such a hard time with this one!!! I’m not sure what kind of music she would be into, but I think the #1 song I associate with her is La Paura del Buio by Måneskin, especially the chorus (I don’t speak Italian and it also obvi sounds better not translated but you get the gist):

And so take me, bite me, strip me of everything I still won't be afraid of the dark When I'll be on the ground, shattered I still won't be afraid of the dark And so spit on me, tear my clothes off of me I still won't be afraid of the dark And so buy me, sell me, do everything to me You're the only one afraid of the dark Not us, not us, not me, me

• 📎 PAPERCLIP - a random fact.

She was very close to Darth Marr and was gutted by the death of someone she saw as a parental figure. She definitely felt his death in the Force when it happened. (Ok maybe I should’ve put this under angst headcanon lol)

• 💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon

Omg ok I hate myself for this but I think about it a lot… Naya isn’t my canon Outlander but I did have an idea that wouldn’t leave me alone for a while so I wrote a little bit about it—she’d had a baby a few months before Arcann iced her so the reunion with Andronikos and her daughter would have been really fraught and emotional in that alternate, angsty universe.

• ❄️ SNOWFLAKE - do people consider them cold? if so, what made them this way?

People who don’t know her on a personal level definitely consider her cold, but not thoughtless—she’s always scrutinizing different angles to a problem to find an advantage. Those close to her know that the coldness is mostly a front, and if she does carry it into their interactions, it’s because she’s trying to cover for something that’s actually troubling her.

• 🌪️ TORNADO - what is the biggest change you've ever made to them? how have they changed from their original version?

Ooh this is so interesting. I can’t think of anything off the top of my head but I did actually stop playing through her class story for a bit to make a sorc (before the combat style changes lol) and I thought that new character was going to be Thee Inquisitor but once I switched back to finish things up with Naya, I ended up really getting attached to her!

WIP whenever

the lovely @sleepswithvillains tagged me in this a few days ago and i completely forgot about it until now, but i have a snippet to share from a mass effect/swtor fusion i'm writing! in which Lia and J'lima are about to have a Very Bad Day.

no pressure tags for sharing snippets: @ipreferfiction @darthsassacre @tarrevizsla @darthmarrsgf and anyone else who wants to do it, consider this an open tag!

On bigger colonies, the ones everyone talks about on the extranet, the ones like Eden Prime, it’s said there’s enough light pollution it’s hard to see the stars, or the flung out curves of the Milky Way’s arms. Lia finds that hard to imagine; their town is quiet, mostly farming, and with the power rationing most nonessential electricity gets cut a few hours after sunset, meaning there’s hardly anything to interrupt her view of the night sky. There’s a spot a ways outside the colony, up at the top of a small hill, where none of the lights reach and it’s like there’s nothing but the sky, glittering with countless stars and the golden aurora of the galaxy itself - she and J come out here all the time, to watch the stars and try to guess which way to the Citadel. They’re going to be out there, one day, sailing between the stars, Lia knows it with all the unshakeable certainty of a truth of the universe, the same way she knows the mass relays will always tie their galaxy together and the colony will always be here at her back to welcome her home. Two more years until they turn eighteen, and then they can enlist with the Alliance military and leave the farms behind.

Lia hasn’t been offworld since she was nine, after the last of her experimental medical procedures - the doctors had pronounced her officially free of all eezo-induced cancer, and now all she has to do is see the colony doctor a couple times a year for checkups to make sure it doesn’t come back - but she can still remember the way it’d felt, metal humming beneath her feet with a life of its own, space streaking by outside the viewport. She’s never been through a mass relay herself, only ever gone FTL to a neighboring system, but she’s imagined it enough times it almost feels real: the arc of blue light as the mass effect energy reaches out and grabs hold of the ship, the way that energy crackles across the ship’s hull and floors and hurls it across the galaxy in the blink of an eye.

Here, outside the colony’s borders with no one but J’lima at her side and nothing to ground her, it’s all too easy to look up at the sky and imagine that her eighteenth birthday has already come and gone, that they’re shipping out soon to join the Alliance as they protect humanity all across the stars, that one day soon maybe they’ll set foot on the Citadel for themselves and finally see the heart of the galaxy, the first humans from their colony to ever do it. They’ll become the best soldiers the Alliance has ever had.

(Spectres, maybe even, Lia’s been starting to think - they don’t have any training, sure, but they’ve been practicing their biotics religiously through extranet courses ever since they got their implants, and any potential lingering weakness from her years of illness is long gone, meaning she can keep up with J’lima just as well as if she’d never been sick at all. She knows it’s a long shot that they could be Spectres, when there hasn’t ever been a human one and humanity hasn’t been part of the galactic community for that long, relatively speaking, but they got their embassy in almost record time, so why not Spectres? One of the fastest expanding races in the galaxy, surely the Citadel Council will have to see that they deserve the recognition.)

It’s a quiet night. Just over the hill, the colony’s nonessential electricity is shutting down, bit by bit; in the wave of darkness something bright and near-blinding streaks across the sky like a meteor to vanish in the distant trees. “Did you see that?” Lia asks, pushing herself up onto her elbows, and J’lima follows suit, squinting out over the rolling hills towards the woods they aren’t supposed to explore (and so, of course, have spent hours in). “I wonder what it was.”

It’s past ten at night, that much is obvious with the way the colony is closing off until the morning, but that doesn’t stop the slow, curious, determined grin crawling across J’lima’s face, the one Lia’s can’t help mirror. “We could go find out,” her best friend suggests. “What if it was a meteorite? If we find it, get a scan of it, send it back to the colony…”

She doesn’t need to finish the sentence. Any space debris is almost guaranteed to have useful metals and other raw resources in it, maybe even element zero - of which there hasn’t been any around since the deposits dried up when Lia was around three or four. Any secondhand exposure to it could spark biotic potential, bring Alliance attention back to them, and if there’s valuable materials to be found, if it’s a crashed ship instead of a meteorite and there’s information on it… if they’re the ones to find it, it could be their ticket into the military. This could be everything they’ve been waiting for since they were children and seeing an Alliance vid for the first time on the extranet.

“Eliass is going to kill us,” Lia says, and vaults to her feet, offering J’lima a hand. Her stepmother (the only asari in the colony besides her half sister Leda) tends to be somewhat protective, but since she lost her last partner and their children to some kind of accident several decades ago, Lia supposes she can’t blame her. Still, a lecture will be an easy price to pay if they bring back useful information or materials, and if they manage to catch the Alliance’s attention yet again.

[murder-and-mayhem]

DEFINITELY NOT ME IN LOVE WITH YOUR BLORBOS RN

Also, when I tell you that I get you with the utilitarian outfit....I get you. I have like 25+ painstakingly crafted Bad Bitch™ outfits for Sehlaan, but then I got the Noble Decurion chestpiece and I accidentally made a whole tactical-vibe armor set that I cannot part with.

3, 10, 24, 27, 30, 33 for any OC you'd like :) if this is too many questions feel free to pick your favorites!

omg omg ok. ok. we've got this. we've been training for this. (cracking my knuckles and whipping open my laptop bc this is too much to type on mobile...) i think i'll probably rotate through a couple blorbos for this one!

3. What is something they really like about themselves and what is something you really like about them?

Unayah (my Inquisitor/Darth Imperius/babygirl/perfect angel, etc. etc.) - I think something that Naya really likes about herself is the lengths she's willing to push herself to get what she wants. I think she genuinely thinks (knows?) that she really is Built Different—while others are short-sighted and let themselves get bogged down in Sith grandstanding and politicking, she sees that getting too comfortable is a mistake and a limitation. I think that's what I like about her, too. Her ambition stretches beyond complacency; she'll do whatever she has to in order to attain true freedom, even if it's uncomfortable, painful, or contradictory to what the Sith have taught her. I have kind of a version of a conversation I think she had with her mother before they were separated that I toy with in my head—she told her daughter that even if she became a Sith, she didn't have to let herself lose her most important and human characteristics. She's never forgotten who she is and where she came from, and she uses that to her advantage.

Sohlara (Consular) - I think Sohl would speak positively of her own candor, and, kind of like Unayah, the deep reserve of grit and mental toughness that she keeps kind of intentionally concealed from others. I just always think of the mental load that the Consular's mission would have required of them, and I think she accepts that duty so readily because she knows it's right, but she also knows that she can. I think I've kind of funneled a lot of little bits and pieces of my own likes/dislikes into her but I really admire how unflappable she is, which is not a trait that I share, lol. I think her attunement with the Force makes her very confident that things will simply work out the way they're supposed to if she moves through them with the best of herself. I also really love her relationships and friendships with others, like the deep and genuine respect she and Qyzen have for each other and how tolerant and eager she is to learn from others' perspectives.

24. How do they relax? Is that a solitary activity, a group activity, or both?

Unayah has never relaxed a day in her life so jot that down (jk jk). This is a good question... I think she would really take advantage of her newfound freedom to get completely lost in reading/researching whenever she had the free time. I think she would also get a kick out of skulking around seedy bars with her surly pirate husband, just for old times' sake.

Sohl is definitely that kid who was like sitting crosslegged or walking aimlessly in circles around the outfield watching clouds and/or picking grass during recess (me). I think she would relax by doing some kind of active meditation outside, especially on Odessen once all the evil Force ghosties have vacated the premises.

27. What is their romance’s theme song?

When I tell you I have PLAYLISTS...

I think for Unayah/Andronikos it would be Sunlight by Hozier from my perspective, and For Your Love by Maneskin from his lol, both for pretty self-explanatory reasons. For Sohl/Theron, I associate them both so deeply with Who's Gonna Love Me Now by Cold War Kids, because it's generally a song about your life not turning out the way you were told it's supposed to and wondering... who's gonna love me now? And in their case, it's the person who's had sort of the eerily opposite life trajectory that fate keeps throwing you together with to run absolutely batshit missions <3

30. What is their love language?

Ooh this is also such a good one. I think for Naya it'd be physical touch, because feeling grounded and in control of her body is extra important after all the shit she's been through. For Sohl, I think either acts of service or quality time. She loved and valued her Jedi upbringing and how communal it was, but because of that, she secretly really likes feeling like someone is spending a little extra effort just for her.

33. What is their favourite color? And which colors do they like to wear the most?

Okay SO I made so many slay outfits for Sohl and then I randomly got the remnant underworld consular chest piece and put it on her. It is lichrally so boring and brown but something about it just feels so perfect for her. My girl is utilitarian. She loves the poncho vibes it's giving and so do I. Idk. I love it so much. In general I think she's def a neutrals girl and prefers not to draw attention to herself or her status through her clothes. (UNLESS... it's Relics of the Gree and then it's blue scalene armor all day every day.) I think her fave colors are definitely very earthy greens and aquatic blues.

Naya is a purple girl which is def me projecting but I LOVE a purple lightsaber and purple lightning. She mostly wears black with occasional, subtle, slightly threatening pops of gold, purple, and red.

HEHE THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!!!!! this was so fun! <3
