Hap Birf to yet another one of my star wars ocs!

this time it’s Jesse “Curry” McCarty (born on the 5th day of New Years Fete, 17 BBY), who’s literally named after three different famous outlaws, lmao. he’s the Clyde to a pair of ocs who’re basically space!Bonnie & Clyde, so i felt the naming convention appropriate.

he’s Pantoran who grew up on Pantora working in the kitchens for a wealthy noble family alongside his single mother Megarrera Urgo (or just Meg). back then, he went by his given name, Frandelme Urgo (or just Fran), and was good friends w/ the noblewoman’s three daughters, Preela, Naydelia (Naydie), and Chandi Grenlan. but after an altercation w/ some nobleman who was visiting and trying to court their mother, Weylani Grenlan, he was framed for a pretty serious crime. knowing the odds were stacked against him, being only a servant boy, he decided to flee the planet instead of trying to prove his innocence. 

he ended up making his way to the planet Taris, where he resides now. after dying his hair (he’s a natural blond) and changing his name, and after a series of unavoidable circumstances, he decided to begin a life of piracy b/c at that point it seemed unavoidable. he eventually met up w/ another Pantoran runaway, an up-and-coming doctor named Barnaby, and his Twi’lek mercenary friend Serena, and together they form the start of their currently unnamed crew. not too much longer after that, he and Barnaby save Barrow Cassidy (another oc of mine i’ve mentioned before) from her crashed ship; she ends up joining their crew as their pilot and becomes the Bonnie to his Clyde.

~one year later...

not a whole lot has changed plot-wise for Jesse; mostly just filling in some blanks. i think i had an idea for the crime he was framed for but didn’t really commit to it: basically, it was murder. it’s the easiest option to go with, and if poison was involved, he’d be the obvious choice to frame since he knows his way around food and drink.

as for when he meets up w/ Barnaby and Serena, that probably happens sooner than i originally planned; more like w/in a day or so of his arrival on Taris. most likely, he was just bumbling around in a panic so much, the two took pity on him, lol. and sort of speaking of which, i once played around w/ the idea of him and Barnaby potentially being romantic partners at one point. maybe they considered it, but ultimately decided they weren’t the ones for each other. i did however keep that one point i mentioned on Barnaby’s post that he’s responsible for for (re)dying Jesse’s hair whenever that needs to be done.

and then at some point i also decided he’s responsible for recruiting Lydas to the Siren’s Echo (finally came up w/ a name for the crew btw). probably witnessed Lydas just being a general badass or something lmao, and thought “hey, why not ask if he’s available for hire?” jdhfjd which. brilliant planning on his part; no one else besides him was particularly thrilled by the idea, and esp since it almost went south as soon as the others found out Lydas is an Imperial defector. but, to Jesse’s credit, it definitely worked out in the end.

lastly, the big Taris Mission (that i swear one day i’ll actually explain, fdsjfjksg) is when he finally learns he’s a Grenlan. he and Barrow end up being the ones to find where Preela and her sisters were imprisoned, and there’s of course a whole big reunion where the truth of Jesse’s past finally comes out to Barrow (b/c she still doesn’t know at that point; Jesse was purposefully cagey about it). and then the sisters all find out he’s been a pirate the whole time for really no reason b/c their mom had already proved his innocence years ago so he could’ve come home whenever, but. yeah, rip. anyway, either Weylani or Meg finally mention it, and frankly none of them are really surprised about it. but ultimately Jesse decides he’s gonna stick w/ the Siren’s Echo b/c at least now they’re all one big happy family again, so yay.

~continuing updates...

is how i’m gonna phrase it where it applies, hsdhg thankfully nothing really at all to change or add, since this is already longer than i remember, lol rip. if anything, i guess i’m just a little perplexed on how to handle his name since obvs his pirate fam know him as Jesse while Pantoran fam still know him as Fran. and like. given that Jesse McCarty was essentially something he made up on the spot? idk. like it’s still a big part of his identity now, so he prob just lets people call him either/or after a point.
