A, C, F, I, L, O, S, U for fanfic asks 😄

A: How did you come up with the title to Eternal War? >Arro, sadly, thinks that the Sith have a point. Peace is a lie in that it doesn’t last. In the early days he wrestled with this realization, even considering quitting several times during his career. But shortly after the Shadow of Revan incident—and especially Ziost—he decided to pursue a different solution; to try and foster in a peace that would last at least a generation, one which would allow the galaxy to recover and know some regrowth before the next round of Star Wars got started. Eternal War starts with the Eternal Throne conflict, but is supposed to go a lot further. The Alliance, in particular. This is from an IRL reason: I thought that the question of what happens to the Alliance after KOTET deserved some thinking about. Do they just... go back to the Republic or Empire? Have they all gotten hopeful about a real, lasting peace with the other side now that they’ve worked together? I want to make them a peacekeeping force—peacekeeping in a different sense, they serve as an example of a workable unity. So they don’t necessarily seek out and extinguish the fires of war wherever they spring up; they lay the groundwork for trade and commerce and cooperation between Republic, Empire, and Zakuul. I also have an idea of how long this peace lasts—till Arro and Lana’s Apprentice’s Apprentice, and even how it ends. But I don’t have any plans on writing those stories yet.

C: What member do you identify with most? >Hmmm the answer was Arro in the initial stages... but he became too god-tier. This is also why I don’t write as often from his perspective as the chapters go on. The one I identify with most right now is Koth; in that he has started questioning his worth, and is trying to find his part in the big world again. He’s a good man and loves his home. He is capable of great loyalty to his comrades so long as they aren’t psychopaths. He loves a woman he knows he can’t be with, but after some initial downward spin he starts moving forward again. He’s reckless, but an everyman hero. As I write him more and more I start to see why an unromanced Lana might possibly end up falling in love with him.

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it. >I think it’s the entirety of Chapters 20: Fog and 21: the Mirror from Book II: Mission Scorpion. They show Lana’s guile and skill; she’s sitting right in front of one of the galaxy’s deadliest Sith, impersonating someone he worked with for longer than she has been alive, and he doesn’t even realize it. She gets him to spill his guts. Fog also had my own headcanon of Agent blowing Hunter out of the water in her own game and in his own home territory. I enjoyed writing that scene where Hunter is utterly dumbfounded by how badly the Cabal have been beaten, and I was deeply satisfied with Nine’s final blow: “Keyword: Checkmate!” In 21: the Mirror I wanted Lana to confront her inner self, which has been a little shaken after she spent a little time resurrecting her old and buried life. This chapter was one I planned out to my complete satisfaction. It has a special place in my heart.

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)? > Powerful heroes whose conflicts aren’t the enemy in front of them, but their own inner demons. I’m starting to like the idea of heroes who won’t have much character growth in their stories—or at least relatively less growth—because they’re already war vets and know themselves quite well. Now their struggle is how they see and deal with current events with these established characters as their lenses. Not to worry though, they won’t all be ridiculously OP monsters. And I’m also looking at adding in Arro’s missteps and failures through flashbacks and short stories because I’m doing him too much of a disservice ignoring his true growth chapters.

L: How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting? > Usually review them twice or thrice at best.

O: How do you begin a story–with the plot, or the characters? > Hmmm this is a tough one but I think characters take precedence. As I said, I’m writing a troupe of war veterans and survivors who have been through the works. They won’t be changing *that* much as I write the story, so it’s important I know them well beforehand.

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist? >running gags mostly. “Three minutes,” or crashed shuttles. Damn I really wanted to go with the broke Jedi too but can’t believably fit it in since that one mention in Early Book I. White Knights are the class I enjoy best; moral paragons who protect entire civilizations in their shadows, but backed up by comrades and loved ones they trust their souls and dreams with. Writing tropes: I always add descriptors or verbs in twos and threes (like “ And so Baras sweated and paced”, “ He attempted violently to free himself from the heavy shackles on his wrists, shrieking and roaring like a mad beast.” “ his enemy’s body language hummed a different tune; it was warming up. Toying with him. And relishing in the skewed mismatch.”). A bit embarrassing but I think this little piggy’s here to stay.

U: Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much. >This is really tough coz there’s so many! I’m going to have to add six instead of three because I cannot decide between these. In no specific order: @kunstpause and @elveny who function as one single writer sometimes but do just as well solo. Their flagship fic—The Precipice of Change—is about their twin Hawkes, Adrienne and Cassia, and the humans behind the title “Champions of Kirkwall”. They deal with themes like addiction, depression, oppressive regimes, and communication failure between two people who love each other to bits (the twins that is) and their effects on both women. @captainderyn, whose characters are so dear to me. She has written them very compellingly. @nusaran whose Skyrim fic has a very fantastic character arc, and whose ‘Marr the Outlander’ fic is equally brilliant. @inyri. She basically inspired me to write, and was kind enough to help my first, shaky steps. Her current story—and the one I read as soon as I see a new update— is about Nine. And finally but not least, @chubbyooo, whose Zandar legacy is full of the most lovable kids I have ever read. Their fic is full of action, laughs, and a very real, strong story-driven plot.

CHARACTER PROFILE — AERITH LYLIN

BASIC DETAILS

full name | aerith idiian lylin.

reason or meaning of name |

aerith — soul, spirit. name of his mother’s late mentor.

idiian — only, lone.

lylin — to thrive. family name of his father, vale.

nickname(s) / alias(es) | aer, aeri(th) lorus, valin avalor / valin kano / idiian kano.

how'd they get it? |

aer — a shortening of his name. given to him and used by his friend and traveling partner, vestir kano.

aeri(th) lorus — the name used shortly after birth to age 15 (and occasionally onward), to protect his father’s position within the jedi order. lylin was readopted purely out of spite when his father left.

valin avalor / valin kano / idiian kano — valin avalor was an alias commonly used from 3956 to 3954bby; simply a combination of his parents’ names. avalor was traded for kano, in memoriam, when he thought vestir kano dead. and valin would later be traded for idiian, his middle name.

age | varies depending on point in timeline.

date of birth | month 10, day 11, 3978bby.

zodiac | libra sun, pisces moon, cancer rising.

species | force-sensitive human.

gender | cis male, though largely unattached to “traditionally masculine” gender roles and gender presentation.

sexual orientation | undefined, open to all genders.

when did they realize this? | his sexuality wasn’t something he ever “realized”; it just was what it was.

nationality | jedhan.

hometown | nijedha, jedha, jedha system.

current residence | vestir kano’s ship.

work history / occupation |

caretaker for the temple of the kyber.

for how long? | from 3963 to 3956.

did they like their job? | it was alright. there were some enjoyable aspects but it was also a lot of strenuous work on one end and long hours of doing nothing on the other. in the end he just wanted something else, a change of pace.

salary | dirt, basically. but meals and shelter and other necessities were provided.

independent gardener / merchant.

for how long? | several months in 3955.

did they like their job? | yes.

salary | it wasn’t lucrative by any means, but it was enough to at least help out a bit and take some of the pressure off of vestir.

ABILITIES

if they had an element, what would it be? | water—turbulent, but adaptable.

can they use it? | no.

what animal best represents them? | knobby white spider. hardly an animal, but still. its life cycle is something that resonates with him.

hand-to-hand capability | low to average, but he’s working on it. can win maybe 40% of fights of this nature.

when did they start learning? | as a child. had about 8 years of training before falling out of practice for a solid 7.

who taught them? | his instructors at the temple. he began to retrain himself at the age of 22, with the help of vestir.

weapons training | extremely proficient with a lightbow and reasonably capable with other ranged weapons. melee skill is lacking but effective occasionally.

when did they start learning? | see above.

who taught them? | see above.

physical strength | moderate.

speed | moderate.

planning | virtually nonexistent. relies heavily on instinct.

powers | moderate force-sensitivity.

weapon of choice | lightbow.

FAMILY

any significant ancestors? | none that he’s aware of.

grandparents | unknown / no relationship.

aunts/uncles | unknown / no relationship.

parents | avadrie lorus (guardian of the whills, deceased), vale lylin (jedi master, living).

are they still together? | no. but they were on-and-off from the time aerith was born, through to avadrie’s passing.

birth order | first and last.

siblings | n / a.

nieces / nephews | n / a.

children | n / a.

are all children with the same partner? | n / a.

is their relationship with their children important to the character? | n / a.

grandchildren | n / a.

what is the character's family life like? | his father was always distant to the point of more or less pretending like he didn’t exist, but up until her passing, he was very close with his mother. she was his main mentor when he was training as a guardian, and was extremely patient and supportive of him. and while that very well could have been enough for him if he’d let it be, aerith was still always striving for his father’s approval—or even just his acknowledgment—only to be constantly sidelined and ignored in favor of his father’s padawan.

what does their family love most about them? | his father is the only remaining family member that he has any connection to, and it’s safe to conclude there’s not a single thing vale loves about his son.

hate? | he is a reminder, is evidence of his father’s shortcomings.

does the family have a specific set of values? | naturally, there was a heavily ingrained respect for the force and an aim to always trust it and follow its light. this was the root of everything avadrie did and said and encouraged in him.

what would their family be described like by another person? | at one point, they might have seen a single mother raising her son well, and a healthy and flourishing relationship there. the second you introduce vale back into the equation, there is constant conflict and neglect and heartache.

have they ever had any pets? | none. he would often feed the birds in the temple courtyard, but that’s about it.

what happened to them? | n / a.

RELATIONSHIPS

are they a virgin? | no.

how did they lose it? | at 19. to zhorin vandreen, a disciple who’d found their path to guardianship and began training at the temple. it was a fairly short-lived affair that was, like, 70% physical. they messed around a few times before distancing themselves from each other.

have they ever cheated on a partner? | no. he’s never had an official partner to cheat on, anyway. but in any case, he wouldn’t.

has a partner ever cheated on them? | see previous answer.

how did they react? | n / a.

who was their first crush? | when he was 13, a fellow acolyte a level above him, kaida lissiri.

first love? | vestir kano. as unfortunate as that is for everyone involved.

have they ever been married? | no.

divorced? | n / a.

how many times have they been married / divorced? | n / a.

are they in any kind of romantic relationship? | no, but yes.

how serious / relaxed is it? | it’s completely unofficial; he’s just pining so deeply, he’s unavailable to any prospective sexual or romantic partners who aren’t vestir.

describe the relationship with their current partner | they aren’t exactly a thing, but everyone else can see it, honestly. it’s fairly safe to say they’re never going to arrive at a point where they’re honest enough with themselves or each other to give their dynamic a name. they’re a certified disaster.

how did they meet? | in 3960bby, aerith harbored vestir in his room for a short period of time, under the pretense he was on a pilgrimage and seeking shelter. they later reconnected in 3956bby when vestir returned to check on a stash of credits previously hidden in aerith’s room.

who made the first move? | aerith, unsuccessfully. every subsequent move has also proven unsuccessful.

how does your character truly feel about their partner? | aerith is vestir’s ride-or-die. there’s nowhere vestir can go that aerith won’t follow, so long as vestir will have him. he will kill for him, will die for him. aerith is deeply in love with him—though he’s tried to resist as, for all he knows, the feelings are unrequited. but they always come rushing back no matter what.

when did they realize this? | just shy of a couple years into them traveling together.

who is your characters closest friend? | it’s vestir.

how did they meet? | see above.

why do they get along so well? | a deep sense of trust built on going through so many harrowing experiences together.

describe their relationship with any other significant friends |

liora virai — took aerith in when he was separated from vestir for the span of several months.

inyri silthen — master guardian inyri more or less took on the role of aerith’s guardian after the passing of his mother and the departure of his father.

FAVORITES

favorite foods | anything with a complex flavor profile. he likes things that don’t seem like they’d work together, but somehow do.

least favorite food | any and all things with a remotely slimy texture. would sooner eat sand.

favorite colors | green. despite the amount of red he wears.

least favorite color | he doesn’t have one. thinks all colors have pleasant shades to offer.

music | he’s drawn to the music of singing bowls and string instruments mostly, though he does favor some wind instruments, as well. he likes music with a soothing quality.

literature | he hated everything he ever read from the temple library. so he has yet to discover his favorites.

favorite sport(s) | swoop racing.

possession this character values most | his kyber crystal—a jagged-edged white crystal that spans the width of his palm.

why is it so important to them? | he’s had it since he was a small child. it called to him and bound itself to him through the force. holding it in times of stress or pain or anxiety has always helped to calm him to some extent.

complexion and skin tone | fair to somewhat golden, depending on time of year and where he’s been; warm toned.

any particular blemishes? | jagged scarring framing the outer corner of his right eye, cutting through his eyebrow and over the top of his cheekbone, fainter as it crosses the bridge of his nose; jagged scarring down the right side of his neck, expanding to his shoulder and partway down his back; hands are covered in lesser scars, especially at his knuckles; scarring of a large gash on his left arm.

clothing style | deep reds are a near constant; a lot of layering and a lot of excess material. is wearing at least ten bracelets at any given time.

other distinguishing features | can occasionally be found wearing red pigments, kohl, and kyber dust—generally around his eyes, though prone to wearing sigils anywhere from his throat to his arms.

voice | sits right in the middle of high and low. will fluctuate slightly up or down depending on the mood of the conversation or his personal mood.

what are their nervous tics? | nail biting. picking at scabs. messing with his hair. turning his crystal over in his hands.

how do they walk? | he walks quite fast by default, but will slow down to match the pace of others or if he’s tired.

usual body posture | he tends to shrink into himself a bit; has to remind himself to stand / sit up straight.

do they have any disabilities? | nothing that largely affects the way he goes through life, but he does have chronic pain.

speech patterns | he speaks at an average pace. quite casual in his tone and vocabulary in most instances. pauses a lot in conversations that are more serious, as he likes to think his words through first. when he gets highly emotional or is inebriated, however, he stumbles over his words a lot.

what were their grades like? | he was a diligent student who showed promise.

any mental illnesses? | ptsd, generalized anxiety disorder, clinical depression.

character's short-term goals in life | keeping his plants on the ship alive. making sure vestir stays alive. getting more proficient with fighting.

character's long-term goals in life | he would like to get some sense of closure when it comes to vestir and how aerith feels about him. he’d also eventually he’d like to find somewhere to “settle down” (not that he wants to stop traveling anytime soon, he just thinks it’d be nice to have somewhere to return to after a long trip once in a while, and space is cold).

how does your character see themselves? | he likes to think he has something to offer.

how does your character believe they are perceived by others? | he thinks people underestimate him. he knows he’s not the most skilled person in any area at all, but he can do more than people give him credit for.

how self-confident is your character? | his self-confidence is on the lower end of the spectrum, but the air he gives off makes it seem somewhat higher than it actually is.

what makes their self-confidence waver? | failure to accomplish tasks he thought himself capable of. failure to accomplish tasks he promised someone else he was capable of. not receiving the level or type of attention he craves.

what would embarrass your character the most? | his failed advances.

how does your character feel about love? | inconvenient. but he lives here.

about crime? | depends on the crime, depends on the circumstances. sometimes people do what they must and he understands this. he’s not above crimes, personally. he’ll go as far as killing someone if there’s purpose behind it.

politics? | often they find their way into spaces they don’t belong. he always felt uneasy about the jedi order’s level of involvement with the republic—especially their place in the military. he felt it made the temple unsafe, and sure enough, it did. he prefers to stay out of politics.

people of a different sexuality? | doesn’t affect the way he sees someone.

different nationality / race? | doesn’t affect the way he sees someone.

how does your character show affection / love? | for the most part, physically. but he also likes to give gifts when he can, and is also big on acts of service.

how does your character handle grief? | depends on how pressing the cause of his grief is. there are situations that call for an immediate response—typically anger or depression. but in other cases, he doesn’t handle it at all, really. he lets it live inside of him and he learns to live like that. he is rarely vocal about deeper feelings like this, and often the only time he speaks on them is when they inevitably overwhelm him and just come pouring out.

what are they like when they cry? | most times he’s more of a silent crier. will hold in like 9 out of 10 sobs. usually doesn’t attempt to talk through it at all. if it’s bad, he trembles.

what can make them cry? | traumatic situations and otherwise close-calls. physical pain, if it’s bad enough. loss. believing he is at fault for ruining things.

how does your character handle physical pain? | his pain tolerance is fairly high. he suffers from chronic pain in bones throughout his whole body due to overuse, strenuous work, and previous injuries that never healed quite right, so he’s more or less just used to it. most times, you’ll see it in his expression or the way he’s moving before he says anything about it.

emotional pain? | depends on the situation, whether it errs more on the side of anger or sadness. he’ll either snap and make a big deal about it or shut down and isolate himself.

is your character typically a leader or a follower? | follower until it’s inconvenient.

are they 'big picture' or 'little details'? | he thinks there’s importance in both, but is more prone to focusing on the smaller details.

what kind of energy level does your character typically display? | low to moderate.

describe their sense of humor | equal parts teasing and self-deprecating. no stranger to sarcasm. he’s a bit of flirt by nature and this bleeds into his humor on occasion.

hobbies | gardening, ceremonial makeup.

talents | being a pain in the ass.

extremely unskilled at | staying out of trouble.

if any, what musical instruments can they play? | n / a. jizz-box

EMOTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS

how does the character relate to others? | he listens. if people will tell him, he listens and will try his best to understand where they’re coming from.

how does the character deal with anger? | will lash out and say hurtful things if pushed far enough. might get physical in very heated arguments or if he perceives a threat.

with sadness? | he’ll either want to be left alone or want to be close to someone who can comfort him. it depends on the nature of the situation.

with conflict? | removes himself from the conversation and isolates himself, sometimes for up to several days.

with change? | he’s very susceptible and easily adapts to change, so long as it’s not the result of an unfavorable situation.

with loss? | he dwells on it. with quite hard-hitting losses, to the point that it affects his health.

what does your character want out of life? | new experiences. to find the beauty left in a galaxy torn apart by war.

what would your character like to change in their life? | the attack on the temple is the biggest thing for him. he feels like it triggered this sort of downward spiral for him, of losing himself, of trying to rediscover himself. of course that means he likely never would have taken off with vestir, and he likes their arrangement for the most part. wishes he hadn’t developed feelings for him like he did, though.

what motivates your character? | being useful, being needed.

what frightens your character? | he startles at loud noises. and he’s not exactly dying to run into any sith.

are they afraid of the dark? | no.

death? | not so much death itself, but the thought of dying alone and in pain. but he will charge straight into a fight and risk everything if he knows it’s for someone.

what makes your character happy? | seeing new places and their flora. sharing tea with vestir before they go to bed.

sad? | when his plants die. being under the impression that he’s let someone down.

angry? | threats against his well-being. being kept in the dark about things.

aroused? | kiss him with any sense of resolve and he’s gone. it’s been a while, so it honestly doesn’t take much.

annoyed? | not being taken seriously.

guilty? | when he says things that go too far. when vestir doesn’t accept his advances.

is your character judgmental of others? | not necessarily in the way that he judges people’s choices—so long as they’re not hurting anyone—but more in the way that he thinks literally everyone is suspicious.

is your character generous or stingy? | he’s generous when he can afford to be.

is your character generally polite or rude? | depends on the way he’s being treated. is polite by default because he doesn’t want to cause problems, but that only goes so far. if someone mistreats him, he doesn’t lie down and take it.

optimistic or pessimistic? | pessimistic. he always assumes the worst.

introvert or extrovert? | slight leaning towards extroversion.

daredevil or cautious? | 50 / 50. he’s an anxious soul, but he throws caution to the wind in a heartbeat when it comes time to act.

logical or emotional? | emotional. he might consider the logical option at least, if given the time to do so, but follows his heart and his instincts in the end.

disorderly and messy or methodical and neat? | organized mess.

would they rather be working or relaxing? | he doesn’t mind working as long as it doesn’t leave him feeling drained. he prefers doing at least something to just lying around doing nothing and waiting for time to pass.

how do they feel about animals? | he appreciates them from a distance, mostly. he’s never wanted the responsibility of keeping a pet or anything.

they are most at ease when | he and vestir are in bed together.

ill at ease when | unaware of vestir’s status and / or whereabouts.

what is their best quality? | his patience has always served him well.

what is their biggest flaw? | his lack of direction.

SPIRITUAL CHARACTERISTICS

do they consider themselves religious? | formerly. still believes in the force and will acknowledge it, but doesn’t really care what it can do for him.

what religion? | disciple of the whills.

what entities do they believe in? | the force, the ancient order of the whills, the force priestesses, the ones.

why do they believe as they do? | it’s what he was raised into from the day he was born.

how prominent is this in their life? | it isn’t. he renounced his position and his faith at age 15. that doesn’t mean he doesn’t occasionally call back to ideologies or practices of his religion. he is still very much a disciple in the way he dresses, if nothing else.

how far would they go in the name of their beliefs? | will speak up for someone else’s faith, but won’t, like, hurt people in the name of it unless it’s a matter of protection.

how strictly do they follow the rules of their religion? | it’s not strict to begin with. there are basic morals, but it’s more about knowing the force deeply.

are there any things they do specifically they aren't supposed to? | wishing harm upon people that hurt him or people close to him is generally frowned upon. questioning the will of the force is another.

Note

Character asks: Mon Mothma, Gavin Darklighter, Inyri Forge, Grarik "Face" Loran

Wow, that’s a lot of people, anon! Most of whom I don’t have nearly as many opinions on. ^_^

Mon Mothma:

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life (Gotta respect those powerful ladies. And she is very good at politics. I just don’t know a hell of a lot about her. Given the varying levels of consistency in Legends, I’m not sure anybody does. I understand she has a role in Rogue One, which I still haven’t seen due to low tolerance for everybody dying.)hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang (I keep choosing these “neutral tending toward yes” answers for her. I don’t have strong feelings about Mon Mothma but what feelings I have toward her are positive?)hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff (Uh. No fucking idea.)best quality: Ability to do politics on a super-high level in a very complicated galaxy.worst quality: *pulls hair* This is not going to come out right. Setting off Legends/EU writers’ tendencies toward misogyny? Like, that sounds like I’m saying her worst quality is that she’s a woman, which it isn’t. It’s that I don’t know what, if any, bad qualities she has that aren’t “She’s a powerful woman in politics and somebody didn’t know how to write that sympathetically”.ship them with: I don’t, really. @drinkupthesunrise writes some rather adorable Wedge/Mon, but mostly it’s kind of... Mon Mothma/The New Republic. She might be aroace in some part of my head. It’s not a strong enough feeling to put me off Amanda’s fic but I think it’s there.brotp them with: Leia and Wedge, definitely. SO MUCH RIGHTEOUS IDEALISM! :Dneeds to stay away from: Borsk Fey’lya, but doesn’t everybody? ^_^misc. thoughts: I really like her hair. Her iconic dress confuses me, I think because I expect drapey shoulder-necklace things like that to be big heavy Elizabethan chains of office, not... rope.

Gavin Darklighter

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would banghogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff (I went back and forth, because in my head “Gryffindor” is approximately “idealist” and “Hufflepuff” is approximately “absolute sweetheart”, but I think he’s a little bit more of a Gryffindor. He is so idealistic and driven to make the galaxy a better place.)best quality: Gavin is a good boy. He tries so hard.worst quality: Uh. He starts out a bit naive, I guess? I don’t know, I’m not terribly familiar with him. (Also I’m too damn nice. I hate saying bad things about most characters. XD)ship them with: I mean I guess he and Asyr were cute? Other than the absolutely horrifying circumstances of their first meeting, which I try to ignore as “these characters do not deserve my hatred just because they were badly written”.brotp them with: Corran. They really are good together, even though Corran Horn would not be my first choice for a role model for anybody... but somehow it works.needs to stay away from: Facial hair.misc. thoughts: Gavin is a good kid and I really don’t have much grasp of his personality.

Inyri Forge

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life (The thing with Inyri is that I like her a whole lot better in theory than in practice. The character concept has a fuckton of potential; the execution could have been a lot better. Bear in mind that I didn’t even warm up to Tycho until Heath sort of dragged us all by the hair into acknowledging his awesomeness. Mike Stackpole’s writing does not click with me.)hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would banghogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuffbest quality: Inyri is smart. She’s the one who comes up with most of the Millennium Falsehood plan to bait Zsinj into a trap. worst quality: That time she hooked up with a weirdo crimelord because her sister was The Good One? Relatable as hell, but there are better ways to rebel against your parents. I guess that would boil down to “doesn’t have great taste in men”.ship them with: Nobody, really. Shalla, Inyri, Mon Mothma, and Dorset Konnair are the only unattached women in the Legendsverse that I can remember, and I haven’t seen any compelling reason to change that. (Granted, Wes and Hobbie are about the only officially unattached dudes in the Legendsverse, which makes it a lot more gender-equal than most fictional universes where all the ladies wind up in het relationships.)brotp them with: Hm. I feel like I had an answer for this. Inyri and Hobbie are the two Rogues who contribute significantly to the conversation about the Millennium Falsehood; I feel like they might work well together. I really don’t remember enough about Inyri’s appearances in the Stackpole books to have any other ideas.needs to stay away from: Zekka Thyne.misc. thoughts: Due to the thing I mentioned earlier where Shalla, Inyri, Wes, and Hobbie are some of the very few people in Legends without official endgame relationships, it used to be custom back in the day (when slash was much more frowned upon and had to be hidden behind passwords) to ship Shalla and Inyri with Wes and Hobbie in some combination. So I’m always sort of eyeing the concept of shipping Inyri with either of those two, which probably distorts how I see her as a character on her own. :P

Garik “Face” Loran

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life (Finally, somebody I’m actually familiar with! XD)hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang (Face is like canonically hot but also very much not my type. Although if he’s played by John Cho, as @tigerkat24 suggested recently, all bets are off. ^_^)hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff (All the best spymasters are. Took him some time to grow into it, though.)best quality: His sense of humor.worst quality: The whole guilt thing.ship them with: Ton, Dia.brotp them with: Ton.needs to stay away from: That’s a good question, really. Face can walk in and out of situations that would kill most other people, because he’s just that good of a spy (eventually). Maybe Castin Donn? :Pmisc. thoughts: I really, really love that Face’s reaction to the Yuuzhan Vong war was to start learning to speak the language so he could go undercover as a Yuuzhan Vong if necessary. That is so fucking Face.

Tagged by @riajade01. I’ve been awful about answering asks recently so let me get this quick one out of the way. Thanks for the nudge!

This is for the spy!AU which is taking me forever to finish ... thinking I might just say fuckitall and start publishing it serially and if I fuck up a plot point, fixing it and seeing who notices, lol. [Spy!AU is where my canon Sith Warrior and her crew are spies; it’s an original story built from canon components.]

Rules: List 10 words/phrases that have something to do with your work(s) in progress and then tag 10 people (or however many) to do the same.

Tagging: @sunsetofdoom, @kunoichi-ume, @lyrishadow, @inyri, and @darth-khal and as always, anyone else who wants to do this.

And I promise I’ll get to the couple of asks languishing in my drafts folder. I think my 18-month brain fog might be lifting.

playin cipher 9 and i let watcher x go and covered for him bc i need that data he’s willing to give up. something hinky’s going on - more than just “spy stuff” - and Inyri needs answers.

alas, Kaliyo now thinks Inyri is a “cowardly piece of shit”. grow up, Kaliyo, honestly.

Question did you ever read the Annihilation novel?

I sure have! It’s one of the few places to get backstory on Theron (that and the Lost Suns comic- just ignore the art). While I do take some creative liberties with him, I like to stick to the source where it exists.

(Unless the source contradicts itself. Then we get creative.)

What’s the current status of the Star Cabal from the Agent storyline? Could they be involved with the Traitor arc?

I honestly do not know! I haven’t finished the Agent storyline (I’ve only run four out of the eight vanilla storylines right now), so I’ve actually kind of not looked into the Star Cabal too closely – as I have general spoilers for the storyline, but not in-depth ones. So I might direct an inquiry to someone who’s a bit more familiar with the Agent storyline and Star Cabal, such as @inyri, @andveryginger, @keldae, or @mjaydziarand.

They were name-checked briefly during the Uprisings prior to Iokath, but as far as I’ve seen, that’s the most concrete we’ve heard of them/from them in… uh, again, I would have to volley that over to the Imp Agent experts. Were they even referenced on the class storyline wrap ups on Rishi?

But from the very general general spoilers I know of the agent storyline, I would say…

…maybe? I don’t know – I can only be honest in that I’m really not sure.

Again, I haven’t looked into anything too in-depth because I’d like to have a few surprises when I eventually run my Agent through, but I know the Star Cabal had a connection to SCORPIO. According to the Codex entries, SCORPIO was likely created by the last master creator on Iokath, Vel Jyc Boer (who seemed to get bored and pressed the apocalypse button about a thousand years ago, I’m assuming that at least from the last lines of that entry) – and I know from general Tumblr spoilers that the Star Cabal themselves is old, as well as that SCORPIO has a Belsavis connection.

(Side note: I do find that piece at least very interesting considering the connection to the Makeb uprising – which is a fascinating mystery from a lore perspective in and of itself. Is Gethul a creation of the Mother Machine on Belsavis? Some other Rakatan experiment gone awry? Definitely a dark side creature in origin – again, a really fascinating Uprising! Super creeptastic and has some potential for further exploration if the devs decided to go that route.)

At this point, it seems likely we can be reasonably certain that the Order of Zildrog is responsible for most of the events leading up to and within the Fractured Alliances arc, and there are hints within the Alliance Intelligence reports they have a lot of money, as well as a lot of influence. The real question is – are the Order of Zildrog a shiny new cult created during the events of KotFE after SCORPIO kills the original leader of the Heralds of Zildrog – or is the Order of Zildrog a different branch… possibly a much older, more widespread branch? (And the Heralds were just fanatical thugs…?) That’s where I would ask about a possible Star Cabal connection (at least to those a bit more familiar with them). It seems a stretch to me that a shiny new, twelve-month-old death cult from a relative backwater planet like Zakuul somehow managed to infiltrate everything so thoroughly as has been hinted at, and get as much money and power as they’re indicated to have. It makes me wonder exactly how old the Order of Zildrog really is.

It’s also worth noting that the nature of what/who Zildrog is possibly a much deeper mystery – one that hopefully will either be answered partially or in full on May 1st with 5.9. Why I say that, is that we actually know very little about Zildrog himself, and all we really have is bits and pieces from fanatics we’ve heard on Zakuul (mostly the Heralds).

There’s the possible Gravestone connection, which might finally be confirmed or refuted for good on May 1st. So, it’s still very possible that Zildrog is a giant Iokath death machine that will burn up the entire galaxy because why do anything halfway? But we really only have hearsay, Force visions, and ancient prophecies at this point – as well as guys in snake masks plotting mysterious things and stealing our spyboys away from us.

(However, I’m going to refrain from going to deep into all of the possible things Zildrog could be, because I’ve already climbed out of that rabbit hole once, and there’s really not enough information to know for sure.)

What we do know about Zildrog is that who/whatever he is, he’s very old – at least older than a thousand years– because his presence/the worship of him as a god predates the Izax pantheon, which we know were around a thousand years ago (probably longer) when they wiped out all life on Iokath. Probably/possibly older than Valkorian/Vitiate’s 1300ish year blight on the galaxy.

The History of Iokath codex entries hint that the people of Iokath were experimenting on the worlds around them (and possibly just beyond Zakuul and Wild Space if memory serves me correctly) for countless generations. More than a thousand years – I’m not sure if the Iokathan culture is as old as the Rakatan one – but they were around a very long time before they wiped themselves out with their own hubris.

So is it possible that the Order of Zildrog is a thousand plus years old? And the Heralds were some strong men driven crazy by some mysterious swamp creature *coughcoughAncientWhisperyMonolithcoughcoughGravestone* before Arcann was like “Hey guys, I like your style! Why don’t you terrorize the citizenry of the Old World for a while? I got shit to do.”

I mean… maybe? But it could also just be that the little punk who SCORPIO cut a deal with in Chapter 7 of KotFE is just really good at numbers, robbed a bank or five million, and is awesome at recruiting, and grabbed a few buddies from Arcann/Vaylin’s inner circle and started trying to wake up his Apocalypse Cobra the moment his father’s corpse hit the ground.

Either way… we’ll hopefully know soon! T-minus NINE DAYS guys! We’re getting so close!
