OC Tag Game

Tagged by @raven-of-domain-kwaad, thank you! I'll be keeping it within SWTOR characters since I just focus on them here.

No pressure tag (if you feel like it): @vespertine-legacy, @astrifer-bound, @mmigrainee, @chaoticspacefam, @spitzobsessed

Favorite OC - Jett

Not surprising. As much as I love my other characters (Auletta don't kill me), Jett just gotta be my favorite. Bounty hunter storyline being one of my favorites definitely affects this, but there is much more to this. She is this 'tough on the outside, softie on the inside' type of character that I just adore, I love her personal arcs about trauma, meaningful connections and leadership. And of course strong badass Mando women are just cool and get an instant liking from me :) I can go on for hours on this, but let's move on.

More under the cut.

Newest OC - Beirya and Zin

I had more ideas for new characters after I made Rya and Zin, but they are not yet actual characters that I plan to develop. So these two are my newest at the moment.

Oldest OC - Auletta

Technically, the first character I ever rolled in SWTOR was smuggler, but I didn't keep her in any way, so it's Auletta. Although she looked slightly different and was assassin instead of sorcerer in the game (which doesn't fit her background), the core of her character remained the same.

Meanest OC - Jaria

It's a tough spot between some of my characters, but when others can be polite or maybe it's not their nature to be rude (they just do it for others reasons), Jaria is unapologetically mean to people almost all the time (only shutting up if it saves her skin or gives an advantage).

Softest OC - Shailla and Lorri

(there are actually two more but I wanted to keep it short)

They are just so kind and gentle, striving to do more good in this imperfect galaxy. I mean, there is a reason why Lorri is often considered the heart of her little found family.

Most aloof/standoffish OC - Xaele and Jaria

Xaele in general is pretty distant from the world and even her own actions, which fit well for agent's life. And Jaria is, honestly, pretty mistrusting, and after being separated from her sister, probably the only person she gave a Hutt about, Jaria couldn't form meaningful connections with other people, so she's a loner. Plus she's mostly interested in self-gain and money, and she doesn't care how she gets it.

Dumbest (affectionate) OC - Vintu

Well, there may be others, but no one radiates chaotic dumbass energy like Vintu (yeah, not even smugglers, though they are close). Just look at his dumb face.

Smartest OC - Auletta and Elixess

I would betray Auletta by not including her here. She is a quick learner, a schemer, always hungry for knowledge and information. She's very good at using all available knowledge and information to get the best out of her situation, whatever it might be (back in slavery, in Sith Academy, Dark Council, you name it). The only period when Auletta made kinda dumb decisions was around chapters 1 and 2 of Inquisitor storyline, mostly bc she was drunk on power and freedom, testing how far she can go. But when she failed to kill Thanaton for the second time, Auletta adapted and got the best out of it.

Elixess is similar in many ways, except she doesn't have the same malicious intent as Auletta and maybe not as nerdy. She is a quick thinker, which helps her talk her way out of most trouble and see possibilities for profit. Also, I just thought having a smuggler as one of the smartest characters is funny.

(actually, there are more characters who are on the same level, but I wanted to mention these two)

Horniest OC - Vintu and Jaria

Jaria just likes to flirt around and have one-night stands almost every time she visits a new place (Mako got tired of it real quick). Shame that bounty hunters don't have a lot of flirt options with NPCs other than companions. And Vintu... well, for my own sanity we have an agreement - he doesn't tell much about his private life, and I don't get to know much about it. Let's just say that when he's with Jaesa they are very active, and even after he's done with her, Vintu still hits on a lot of people.

OC you'd bang - none

I'm way too asexual for that.

OC you'd be best friends with - Raen and Alaine

Both of them are great friend material. Raen shares some of my interests (that weren't a bit of self-insert to begin with, no no), so she can tolerate a bit of infodumping about special interests from me. She's generally fun to be around, except for maybe when she's being chased by law enforcement or when she's sleeping. Plus we might have 'introvert adopted by an extrovert' dynamiс in a good way.

Alaine is someone I could trust to discuss a lot of complicated topics without being judged harshly. And she's a good person and a reliable friend in general, so great to have her as a friend. Alaine is more of "calls me out on my shit" friend, and Raen is more of "tags along with my shit" friend, and I definitely need both these types of friends.

my assessment of pll's male love interests so far if they were gender swapped to women

in order of uhhh appearance for lack of anything better

Ezra: grown woman version is as pathetic as the grown man version, but also she is somehow less realistic than her canon self in predicting the response to her. oh god, is her stopping nick mccullers in this version supposed to be a hashtag gay solidarity moment? the only positive thing here is that contemporary viewers and reviewers made jokes abut Ezria being lesbians with how much repetitive emotional processing they did and them actually being an f/f couple would make those jokes slightly tolerable. slightly.

Wren: again, extremely pathetic grown woman. only slightly interesting thing is if Ian is still a dude and so Melissa goes from f!Wren to Ian and happy baby times ever after except haha not. also would involve Spencer kissing a lady which is undoubtedly a positive. pll finding a way to offscreen kill a queer character in the series finale would crack me up too.

Toby: ok, now I'm actively interested. I have no idea how you handle the Toby -> Emily angle so we'll ignore all of that, I just think I would approve of area motorcycle-riding hated-by-town teen carpenter lesbian with a six pack that Spencer has truck makeouts with. I'd still dislike her for the later stuff I dislike later Toby for, but it would be a good ride till then! As would what Spoby get in the finale.

Noel: Okay he's not a liar love interest but as a fan of area edgelord Noel Kahn, I just want to note I'd approve of the female version of him as well, that's all. Running around town thinking she's the baddest girl. This would also make Emily's brief jealousy over Maya and Noel talking more fun.

Alex: Oh 100% approve, also I guess Melissa's comment that Spencer is just dating Alex to piss of Dad Hastings has an extra edge to it.

Caleb: Another 100% approval, and this might be the rare case of whatever later behavior annoyed me in the male love interest would annoy me less in a woman? I don't remember exactly how he annoyed me though, so unclear. Also because Caleb pops up in 1B, it would be very funny to have an entire half season of Emily angsting about her sexuality and then Hanna starts dating F!Caleb like it's no big deal XD. Oh, and Mona hates F!Caleb more. So much more. Hanna is kissing a girl and it's not even one that dresses well???

Jason: Again, still a pathetic grown woman, but the most interesting of our three grown women here? To me, at least, in being a stoner creepster with the guys, and there's something interesting about Alison and Spencer having F!Jason as an older sister, especially with Spencer's existing issues with her known older sister. Uh the Jaria stuff remains immensely boring.
