#edric ordo

[scope-dogg]

I definitely think the portrayal of the Dune universe in the recent movies is pretty peak, but I’m nearly as fond of its portrayal in the RTS games made by Westwood (the original command and conquer devs, rip.) It was based fairly closely on the 1984 movie, but with some additional liberties taken. The most notable was their own self-insert OC house, the Ordos, whose house mentat in Dune 2000 by the name of Edric O lives rent free in my head.

I don’t know what you call this weird cyborg’s aesthetic and vibe but I aspire to it

Su Cuy’gar (Part 1)

Notes: This was longer then I intended, ah well. This also took a while, any who.....hope you folks enjoy it!

Revan froze in the middle of speaking to two of Canderous’s kinsmen as he sensed a familiar presence, he turned just in time to find Edric escorting two Mandalorians into the makeshift meeting hall.

“Revan.” One of the visitors says with an accent that was blended somewhere between Concordian and Coruscanti. The hood and goggles had been removed to reveal a youthful face beneath, familiar green eyes staring at Revan in wariness and shock. “What are you doing here?”.

“Tarre?” Revan asks as he moved toward the younger man who just stood there, staring at him with wide, dark green eyes. The elder Jedi could feel the shock resonating in the Force, yet he could sense no anger or fear, or  even resentment; the only other thing he could sense from his former Padawan was doubt and sadness.

Revan stopped short of actually reaching out to Tarre, just staring at the young man. Tarre’s features are sharpened and their was a now eerie peacefulness to his presence, in stead of a more chaotic one. He had grown too, he was only a centimeter or two shorter then Revan now.

“You two know each other?” Canderous asks as he watched them with mild interest, Revan knew that Clan Vizsla was one of Clan Ordo’s closest allies, if not the closest. 

“Yes, he was my Padawan during the Mandalorian War.” Revan responds as he kept his attention on his former Padawan and sighed, running a hand back through his hair. “Tarre, I....”.

Without warning, the boy just rushed forward and hugged him. “Cin vhetin, Master.” Tarre mumbled as Revan sensed overwheling joy coming from his Padawan. It was the first time in a long time that another Jedi had actually been this pleased to see him. “It’s the Jedi way to forgive, right?”.

Revan couldn’t help but chuckle at that as he returned the hug. “Yes, but that isn’t always the case, Tarre. Especially considering what I....”.

Tarre released him and then slugged his shoulder, in that rough -- almost painful -- way of his and jabbed his forefinger at him. “Don’t ruin the moment, Master.” Tarre warns as he folded his arms and gave a threatening smirk. “Seriously, I can yell at you later. Not even you are above mistakens and flaws.”

“Who are you and what have you done to my brat of a Padawan?” Revan recalled vague memories of thirteen-year-old Tarre and what many other Jedi had said about the boy being convinced he was some all powerful deity of sorts.

“I grew up.” Tarre responds thoughtfully as something flashed in his eyes too quickly for Revan to pick up. “Apparently, my kinsmen actually do care about me.”.

“Harm our children., we will kill you.” Tarre’s companion states icily, which caused Canderous to snort a laugh while Revan stared at the woman in a bit of shock. “If you decide to fall back into your previous self, I will personally gut you. Do I make myself clear, boy?”.

“Crystal, Sari. I’ll keep Revan out of trouble.” Canderous says as he waved her off, evidently accustomed to the woman’s attitude. “I am sure he regrets most of his choices.”.

Sari simply glared at Revan with eyes hardened from life and the same shade of green as her grandson’s. “And if you ever cast him out like you did, I’ll be sure to return the gesture, Vizsla.” Revan countered boldly, causing all those present to stare at him with looks of awe and shock, even Canderous seemed a bit taken aback.

“Oh gods.....” Grizzer muttered from his spot before the old woman actually let out a laugh.

“Ha! Candy, did you and Veela have a brat and not tell me?” Sari asks as she smirked at Canderous who actually seemed to be pondering that. And that was a very unpleasent thought, even if Revan did consider the man as family. “Now I know where Tarre got his boldness from!”.

“Grandmother.....” Tarre singsongs which caused Revan to resist a smirk while the old woman waved the boy off. 

“Right, right. Moving on.” Sari responds as she turned her attention to Canderous. “So, it’s true then? You are Mand’alor?”.

“It is, are you here to declare war of pledge loyalty?”.

“Loyalty, old friend. Now if were Veela, then it would be war.” Sari responds as she leaned against some crates, exchanging a look with Tarre. “Times are changing, might as well change with them if we wish to survive and thrive.” Sari offered her arm to Canderous, in a familiar gesture. “Clan Vizsla stands with you.”.

“Never thought I’d hear a Vizsla agree to change, much less you. “ Canderous remarks as he took Sari’s offered forearm.

“I made a mistake and my clan.....my family suffered for it. I chased my own grandson away because he was too terrified to speak to me because he thought I would kill him, and I probably would have.” Sari states sadly as she looked towards Tarre then back at Canderous. “Clan Vizsla has changed, Canderous. And I can see that you have too.”.

Tarre quietly moved over to stand beside Revan, leaning against him slightly. He was on edge, understandable considering who they were amongst. 

“Jedi beliefs are infective.” Edric points out with a teasing smile.

Revan nudged Tarre, who looked at him and he nod towards a more secluded area of the meeting hall. He had some catching up to do and some mistakes to fix.

#1 for the KOTOR1 crew + Tarre Vizsla

Ooh! Now this one is an interesting one!

Revan:

This one’s a tricky one, tbh, but after playing SWTOR and reading the Revan novel, Revan’s likely proud of what his crew and his followers have all accomplished. Probably Vaner and Theron too, since despite not being Jedi, they still proved themselves to remarkable men in their own right.

Canderous:

Canderous has made it known numerous times that he takes pride in the battles he’s won, but it wouldn’t surprise me that he is, in fact, very proud of how Clan Ordo managed to survive the scattering of the Mandalorians. Consider this, we only saw a few of the elder Clan Ordo members in the novel, so what if Clan Ordo mostly consisted of children and young adults who survived the end of the Mandalorian Wars? These kids – even if Veela was leading them and Edric’s still around – were the ones who banded together to keep their traditions alive, kept their clan alive, Canderous would likely be very proud of his younger kinsmen.

Bastila:

She’s most proud of the man Vaner became.

Carth:

I’ll admit, I have nothing on Carth. The guy’s just, well, Carth.  I would assume he’d be proud of what he did with Revan’s crew, Dustin or something like that.

Juhani:

I do believe after some time, Juhani finally learned to control her emotions and let go of most of her bitterness, which she takes pride in since she probably eventually became a Jedi Master.

Mission:

The girl started up a shipping business when she was fourteen, ‘nuff said.

Zaalbar:

Probably Mission.

Jolee Bindo:

Considering the amount of Jedi on Revan’s crew, as well as the others like Canderous and Carth, I’ve always kinda pictured Jolee as that father figure who – despite being proud of his honorary kids and grandkid – is absolutely done with everybody’s nonsense. As well as being that type of Jedi who supports/encourages younger Jedi who follow his example.

T3-M4:

I have absolutely nothing for this little guy, I think the novel pretty much confirmed my headcanon for him.

Tarre:

For Tarre, it’s more along the lines of if he was Revan’s Padawan, then he was probably the first Mand’alor to make peace with the Republic and may or may not have been on one of the Jedi Councils (there’s about three or so, the High Council is the head council). I think he’d take absolutely pride in his accomplishments.

HK-47:

I literally have no idea with that dang droid other then the fact taking pride in serving his master. Be it Revan or Malgus or whatever.

It has been a while since I’ve played KOTOR (*coughs* years *coughs*) so my intreperation of characters might be off or I might have missed one.

[tanadidreamer]

Tib, Jax, and your version of Tarre? Pretty please?

Hmm….will do! Here are the Vizsla boys!

Tib:

Tib is a very protective uncle and father , to the extent he actully helped Rau and Xan escape when Pre Vizsla had caught them and simply lied to Pre about being overpowered.

Tib is colorblind.

Tib was born in 56 BBY.

Compared to  his elder brothers, he’s the politician of the family. As well as the most relaxed and playful sibling.

He is married to his former second-in-command,  with three adopted children. His only son is a Trandoshan while his eldest daughter is a Kiffar and his youngest daughter is a Togruta.

Tib’s favorite hobby is actually pestering Jax, since he’d only been roughly two-years-old when Jax was exiled, so he’s making up for lost time.

During his time on Carlac, Tiberius had been the most outspoken about the enslavement of the Ming Po women and had dedicated himself to guarding them, since he didn’t trust men like Gar Saxon to do so. His actions resulted in the Ming Po to welcome House Vizsla as both guardians and allies when Tiberius lead his people in a counterattack to free the Ming Po from Imperial occupation.

Tib is bisexual.

Tib is fluent in Mando’a, Concordian, Galactic Basic, Twi’leki, Huttese and Dosh.

Tib isn’t very fond of taking off his armor amongst strangers or in the presence of other House/clan leaders. He feels too exposed when he does so.

Jax:

Due to refusing to get a cybernetic eye, he has a blind side but his hearing is still very sharp on his left side. It comes from raising three children and training clone cadets, all of which were troublemkers.

Jax has had an on-and-off relationship with Rav Bralor for years, to the extent that his daughters and adopted son all consider her to be their mother since she helped raised them. And Parja affectionatey calls him ba’vodu. It’s a running joke that they’re married in every way but vows.

By the Battle of Yavin, Jax had been the director of the Concordian Defense and Intelligence Ageency for five decades.

Jax was born in 72 BBY.

The reason as to why Jax doesn’t get along with Kal Skirata is due to a rather harsh comment about Jax having never actually being exiled but working as a spy for his father.

Jax has a low-degree of Force-sensitivity, but never actually realized it nor has it ever been brought up by Edric or any other Jedi he’s met.

Jax was one of the few people to able to break through Walon Vau’s shell, resulting some weird friendship.

Jax adopted all of his cadets who managed to escape after Order 66, as well as Rav’s which results in the running joke. He loves being a father, and is actually surprisingly good at it.

Jax served as the chief of Clan Rau until Fenn was about sixteen, allowing his adopted son to assume the mantle. Jax’s title of the “Elder Lord of House Vizsla” is for formality only, as a way of showing that he was accepted back into House Vizsla but he still serves as an advisor for both Tiberius and his adopted son.

Jax is incredibly paranoid, which is born out of the type of childhood he had, the betrayal of his adopted uncle and of a close friend – which resulted in the deaths of people he loved dearly. Which results in his standoffish personality.

Tarre:

After Canderous Ordo became Mand’alor, Tarre took up the responsibility and his second-in-command and an ambassador to the Republic.

Tarre loves singing old Concordian and Mando’a lullabies, especially hen he’s scared or overwhelmed, it’s distracting and soothing to him.

Meetra Surik was the first person he actually opened up to about feeling like he was cursed and actually broke down about how lost he felt and being dar’manda, it just so happened that Revan as nearby when he did so.

As a result of the destruction of the Jedi Temple during the Sacking of Coruscant and his descendents wanting to deny any connection with the Jedi, they reimaged him as a Dark Jedi who was apprenticed to Darth Revan, which the story was passed down from generation to generation until all Mandalorians believed he was a Dark Jedi, and later Sith Lord. Thus, he became known as Mandalore the Forsaken, losing the title of Mandalore the Wise to somebody else.

In the aftermath of the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi Council choose not to punish Tarre for his actions since he had been a mere Padawan and was elevated to the rank of Knight, much to his disgust. Meetra convinced him to stay, thus resulting in Tarre to take his former Master’s place when the Sith Lord attacked (I thank another anon for this one, I totally plan on writing about it at some point).

Tarre never liked being around Kreia, since he never appreciated the predictions about his future nor did he particularly like how the Force was when she was near him.

Tarre ended up becoming the Jedi Master of both of Revan’s grandchildren. As well as assisting Bastila in raising Vaner, and informally adopting him as Mandalorian since Revan had adopted Tarre as his own.

Canderous Ordo had been the one who guided Tarre through his verd’goten since Tarre was already an orphan and Canderous had been old friends with Tarre’s father.

Tarre was the one who founded the Senate Guard, as a result of trying to prevent assassintion attempts during Darth Revan’s invasion.

Tarre Vizsla is a direct ancestor of Tor Vizsla and Ursa Wren. As a result, usually those in his bloodline or Revan’s bloodline who were born with attunement or sensivity to the Force can see him, since he still keeps his promise to watch over those who need it.

[tanadidreamer]

I wonder if Revan was ever adopted into Clan Ordo by Canderous.

Even if it was honorary, and even if it wasn’t Canderous, it was probably Edric.
