Well I finally completed all eight main character story arcs in SWTOR. Whew. What a ride.

I gotta say I’m pretty damn attached to the Sith Inquisitor, Sith Warrior, and Imperial Agent stories. They’re damn good.

The Sith Inquisitor was my first playthrough, and has everything I ever wanted in a Sith Lord - tiny, gleefully destructive, yet fiercely defensive of anything and anyone he cares about (which is a lot). He even has the violent, intensely loyal subordinate whose devotion is either thinly veiled intent at erotica or homicide and there’s no telling which it is at any given moment. Mm. Yes. Exactly what I signed up for.

The Sith Warrior is an absolutely lovely story arc that I had a blast playing through, but since I’m so very smitten with Char’s Evren as the canonical Sith Warrior, I kept having it in my head throughout the entire time that Darth Baras must have had another apprentice out there (my character), wandering around doing secondary, slightly-less-galaxy-shattering-important things instead. I... had no idea how much I would end up loving both Vette and Quinn, they’ve managed to make the top 30 of my favourite Star Wars characters in general, not just in swtor. That’s a feat. XD

The Agent storyline is stressful and upsetting, but it’s also very good and that’s a combination that made me become extremely protective of my poor agent. He only gets Good Things now, and I’ll probably end up writing a little story for him just to give him some nice endings. Mostly involving my agent and Transman!Hunter and better closure for their little cat-and-mouse game.

I liked playing through the Jedi Knight storyline too, despite beating my head against a wall every five seconds due to the dizzying amount of stupidity. My knight is a relentlessly adorable cream puff without a violent or mean-spirited bone in his body, so that made him... challenging to play, being as I avoided him killing anyone at all costs. It also made it challenging for him to get Scourge’s approval, so there was a lot of gift-giving going on, lol. That’s ok considering how intensely I ship them ahahahahaaaaaa (long-suffering sigh).

The Jedi Councilor arc is one I really need to play twice, because my councilor is a horrible, horrible man at the same time he is an exemplary Jedi. He’s practically the opposite of my knight, killing anyone and everyone who crosses him. It’d be interesting to see a playthrough that DOESN’T involve slaughtering the masses. He had a storyline all his own before I ever plunked him in swtor, but he fit the councilor arc so well I actually tweaked a few things in his tale to make it fit better. XD

The smuggler storyline was... entirely forgettable, but my character is cute (and is also in stories I’ve outlined but haven’t finished or posted), and I liked some of the characters you meet along the way.

The Bounty Hunter arc was also bordering on forgettable, but it was also a rollicking good time so I can’t really say it was bad. I liked a lot of the characters you meet (mmmm, Darth Tormen.), and the bounty hunter’s mentor is absolutely charming (honestly any time I hear a southern accent in Star Wars, no matter how badly done, I still clap my hands and feel represented, lol). My bounty hunter is actually my Jedi Councilor’s older sister, so that makes everything more interesting from my pov, ahaha.

The Republic Soldier storyline made me want to strangle the commanding officer every step of the way, and I was furious that I never got to shove my foot down her throat at the end but... oh well. Even though my canon soldier character is Basrel from Opening Dialogue, I still wasn’t terribly attached to what happened in the soldier’s storyline.

I have more characters than these, but these eight are my first completed playthroughs for each arc. \o/ I have yet to completely play through anything past the Hutt Cartel and the Revan expansions too, so that’ll be another ride once I get there.
