A bit of a confession

I've...somewhat outgrown Theron Shan. I don't hate him as a character and he was my closet key, but I came to the realization I'm not as obsessed over him as I thought I was.

So, for Artek, he's been demoted from Love Interest. Instead, a character with 0 romance options will take his place as my Knight's love interest...

Praven, my beloved.

Lord Praven cameo on Corellia. I love Scourge and Praven's snippy banter. I wish there were more.

Praven's pants are outta control. (WHEEZES)

My beloved honorable Sith Lord Praven <3

part 2

and unfortunately classic swtor game bugs

this time I made different dialogue choices

“Now I understand why Tarnis was no match for you. His death was my failure. I should've trained him better.”

For NPC asks.... You might have answered for him before, but Praven? Or Watcher Three?

Ask Me About SWTOR NPCs Thanks for the ask, @voidendron !

I have, indeed, spoken about Praven before! @isi7140 asked about him once, and I referred them to this little gem. Needless to say, he's doing alright.

He's definitely one of my favorites from the Jedi Knight story!

Regarding Watcher Three… I have more bad news.

So after the dissolution of Imperial Intelligence, the former Minister setup (the former) Watcher Three with a new identity, and he takes a nice little data analyst job, making decent money and otherwise keeping a low profile. Generally not harming anyone.

And nobody bothered him because no one knew who he was! The Minister had done a good job helping him hide.

Then, years later, some months after KOTET, several former members of Imperial Intelligence are suddenly murdered in the space of a week.

Watcher Three is one of them.

True story - I have a WIP that opens with Gahraath (Cipher Nine) and Kaliyo standing over Watcher Three's corpse, trying to find out what happened on behalf of the Alliance.

They know the Minister and others have been killed. They know they are almost certainly on the 'kill list' themselves.

Who could be responsible? Who could have been clever enough to find the former Intelligence personnel?

(Dun-dun-DUUUUUN!)

Thanks for the asks!

[sassheliosazuras]

And he got those beef tomatoes

He do. He like ‘em biiiiiig. GO GET ‘EM, RE’FANN

So I had to draw something in response to all of this fantastic feedback (and more that I didn’t end up screencapping, y’all know who you are and every single one of you is so appreciated). Y’all have made my entire week with commentary like this, I’m so happy

Y’ALL GET IT. MUCH LOVE. MUAH.

[raven-of-domain-kwaad]

Lol it’s kinda funny how the Jedi Knight can just collect Imperials / Imperial aligned npcs like pokemon

@swtorpadawan

Edit: and as @swtorpadawan pointed out, this doesn’t even take into account temporary enemies like Bengel Morr (not Imp aligned but an enemy), Galen, Warren Sedoru, Leeha Narezz and Tol Braga.

JK out there with all the people that ever tried to kill them lol “Sure they tried to kill me but that was like a whole planet ago. Times and people change, you know?”

Alliance Commander Ask Game

THE WAY I SCREAMED WHEN I FOUND THIS IN MY DRAFTS. I was tagged a very long time ago by @sullustangin to do this and I completely forgot

1) Who’s your Alliance Commander? What class are they? Alignment? Random other facts you wanna share?

My Jedi Knight is my canonical Commander for my legacy. Her name is Minerva and she’s been through a lot of changes since I started playing her in 2018. She is a Guardian tank with a Shadow secondary class. She’s trapped at Light 5 because of how the old alignment system worked, but I headcanon she’s closer to Light Three. She has one of the most detailed backstories I've ever made for a character and I'm so proud of her :') She's like my child lol

2) What’s a reason or two you like that this character is your Commander? Minerva is not and never wanted to be a leader in any way and I live for that kind of inner conflict. Plus the expansions feel very natural with the Knight as the Commander imo.

3) What’s a reason or two you don’t like about them being Commander? I can’t think of anything other than I wish the writers would let her get some rest. Give me a cutscene where she's just enjoying being with her friends and boyfriend pls

4) Why did this character of all your OCs become Commander? Like I said earlier, it felt natural for Minerva to continue her fight against Vitiate and she was also the first character I got to endgame before Onslaught came out so she's just fixed as the Commander in my mind.

5) Who did they side with? Did they stay loyal or go saboteur? Or maybe you headcanon they defect properly? Minerva decided to side with the Republic, but she kept the Alliance separate and declined the offer to become a member of the Order again. She believes in the Republic but she hasn’t been a Jedi for a long time – even before she was put in the carbonite. And it would be incredibly inappropriate given a new “attachment” in her life. 

6) Are there any NPC’s from the class stories you’d like to see/HC join the Alliance? Ex: Master Timmns, Ardun Kothe, Watcher One, etc. Lord. PRAVEN. In my hc, he was on Ossus during kotfe/kotet and joins the Alliance after Onslaught. He's Minerva's bestie and the writers can't take this away from me.

7) How’s your OC feeling about the current Malgus situation? She's over it, honestly. She is so tired of people coming back from the dead.

8) Are any of your other OC’s part of the Alliance? If yes what do they do for the Alliance? Do they get along with your Commander?

My Chiss trooper, Jame Harper, is Minerva's cousin but they're closer to sisters. Harper had given up hope she was still alive and attacked Zakuul to avenge her. Once she joins the Alliance, Harper is responsible for training new recruits and strategizing for the big battles.

After the incident on Dromund Kaas, Acina sent her Wrath to Odessen to show the Empire’s support. Tegan and Minerva’s old rivalry picked up right where it left off but now that they're on the same side, they actually start to respect each other. They become frenemies but it doesn't last long.

Freya and her Clan join Torian on Odessen and are responsible for keeping the peace between Imperial and Republic personnel. Freya knows Minerva doesn't have much family so she takes on an almost motherly role, fussing over her and making sure she takes care of herself.

My Smuggler, Lyall, is Minerva's eyes and ears in the Outer Rim. He's a friend to the Alliance, not an actual member, but he appreciates what they're trying to do. He and Minerva share a history so it's no big deal for him to help out on the occasional mission.

9) How does your OC feel about Odessen? (Bonus: how do you feel about it) Despite all the craziness around her, Minerva feels at peace on Odessen - something she's not felt in a long time. She loves the wild forests and the endless lakes and rivers. It feels like home. She's never felt that way about anywhere before, not even the Jedi Order. I personally love Odessen. I wish there was a stronghold on Odessen so I could decorate it to Minerva's tastes.

10) How does your Commander feel about being the Commander? To say Minerva has a complicated relationship with it would be an understatement. Some days, it's great. She's doing more for the galaxy than she ever could as a Jedi. But sometimes she realizes just how many lives will be effected by her decisions and she feels trapped. She doesn’t feel anyone should ever have so much power. But she's lucky to have such a strong support system behind her and they make it bearable.

11) Favorite place in the Alliance base? Minerva's favorite is the little pool at the base of the statue in the Force Enclave. She meditates for hours in the sunlight coming in through the crack in the ceiling. As for mine, it has to be the war room. I love seeing my companions just vibing with each other.

12) Favorite mission in KotFE? Definitely visiting the old world on Zakuul with Senya. I wish we got to see more of it or at least get a Zakuulan stronghold but I doubt the story will ever bring us back to Zakuul :(

13) Favorite mission in KotET? The palace mission, just because it's where we get Arcann lmao

14) Least favorite mission in either? Why? The walker missions are brutal. Except for the one on Iokath. That one is so much fun lol

15) Is your Commander successful because they’re skilled? Or are they perhaps just really lucky? Minerva has worked hard to hone her body and mind into a weapon, but she also believes the Force is on her side as long as she listens to it. To her, luck doesn't exist.

16) From our OC’s point of view, SoR -> KotET wasn’t a fun experience, did they develop any fears as a result? A lot of her fears were realized. She was abandoned by the people she trusted and the Jedi Order, the only constant in her life, was practically wiped out. Valkorion was once again in her head and the fear of him taking over at any given moment made her distance herself from the people around her in order to protect them. It was the loneliest period of her life. 

She also has a fear of public speaking so she hates it when she has to give speeches to encourage people.

17) AU time! If your Commander wasn’t Commander, which of your other OCs would have likely taken their place? Harper has a habit of falling into positions of leadership despite her loner attitude. I can see her somehow accidentally becoming Commander in Minerva's place because no one else stepped up.

18) Who’s someone your Commander hopes they never have to deal with again?

19) Does your Commander hold on to/still use any titles they earned before KotET? Minerva's begun to let go of her old life but she doesn't mind being called "Master" or "Battlemaster" by other Jedi. She earned those titles so it's a sign of respect for her.

20) Share something, anything at all, you want about your Commander that you’ve not really gotten the chance to share before but really want to. Minerva loves trashy entertainment. Holovids, shows, books - it doesn't matter, she loves it all. It's antithesis to everything she was used to growing up that she found it so compelling. She's also a sucker for those romance books you see in line at the grocery store.

SWTOR Headcanon Project, The Forsaken

So, to finally get back in the swing of things. I came up with a fun headcanon project that I'm really into so far. Credit to @swtorpadawan 's Unforgiven headcanon and @raven-of-domain-kwaad 's love for Lord Loyat (and all the shit Ryscha Kine goes through) inspiring this, as well as @serenofroses and @voidendron for getting me into headcanon writing.

Now let's get into it! 'Forsaken' is a codename for a Jedi Strike Team (and eventual found family) underneath the SIS (a bit like the Sixth Line, but not as...religiously militant) that's comprised of 'misfits' within the Jedi Order. I'm still working on the formation, but so far, this is what I got for the main cast.

Artek Sefyr, the Hero of Tython and leader of the Forsaken. After breaking free from the Emperor's influence, Artek frequently tapped into the Dark Side to face against the Emperor during Chapter 3 of the class story. This led to him not being promoted to Master and getting taken off of the front lines, which he was not happy about. However, the SIS took notice of his physical prowess and leadership abilities, offering him an opportunity to put his skills to use in this Jedi Strike Team. Artek easily accepted the role.

Praven, my beloved. Anyway, Praven is here for a somewhat different reason. While part of him has felt somewhat out of place in the Jedi Order, that's not why he joined the Forsaken. Rather, it's his concern over Artek's decline into the Dark Side, worried he'll end up just like Angral. Because of his cool-headed disposition and honorable side, Praven acts as the second-in-command for the team.

Bengel Morr was more or less the first member recruited after Artek. While he had been redeemed following his defeat, he was still very guilt-ridden after the Flesh Raider Uprising he caused. He joined the team as a way to atone for his past mistakes.

Nalen Raloch, formerly seduced with power, now looking to restore his status as a protector of the people. Also tends to butt heads with Bengel up above.

Ako Domi, the former hero of Sullust, now hoping to restore his status as a heroic figure once again.

Loyat here is the newest of the Forsaken. After being defeated by Artek on Ilum, she abandoned the ways of the Sith, later joining Artek in killing her lover/abuser Darth Arho. She's actually a pretty nice gal, but really struggles with her emotions.

Sajar rounds out the team, more or less acting as their 'seer' for lack of a better word. Definitely the most reluctant to violence on the team in fear of relapsing into his old ways. And that's all I have so far. I might add in some more, and I do have a few ideas for non-force sensitive auxiliaries (including Watcher One and Agent Galen), but I can explain those later. For now, what do you folks think?

Lord Praven Appreciation Post

Been replaying the Jedi Knight storyline because I have a perfectly healthy obsession with Swtor and I totally forgot about this man. Look at this man and his dumb hat, and his dorky little backpack and his beautifully confusing outfit. This man is hiding behind his "honorable facade" because they're just bullying him for his fashion sense back at the Empire. I love him.

S T R E T C H

Wish we saw more of him. We need more redeemed Sith Purebloods. Just my JK and him so far.

[serenofroses]

the moment Lord Praven told her that her "fathers would be disappointed" in her, claiming she was a traitor to the Empire. Jazz doesn't believe his lies, but what Lord Praven didn't know was that after she was rescused from the rogue Sith's clutches, her parents sent her to the Jedi as per argement with Grandmaster Oteg to keep her safe and heal her mind... Jazz still wanted to see her fathers one day. To ask them questions with one wondering whether they're proud of her or ashamed by the fact she's a Jedi Knight.

My beloved honorable Sith Lord Praven <3

and unfortunately classic swtor game bugs

[kemendin]

At first i didnt get why Scourge was so appealing

But. I may have been

Enlightened

I have two hands but i love Kira, Lord Praven and Lord Scourge? Help? Im very confused of my preferences

Clearly someone is going to have to ride piggyback while you hold the other two, and then I suggest a rotation so that everyone gets a turn being held 👍

I feel you though! Scourge is (obviously) my number one fave, but I adore Kira, and it’s a shame Praven doesn’t show up more because he is so excellent (Scourge sassing him later on is hysterical xD) Praven in particular definitely needs more love!

[swtorpadawan]

Bela Kiwiiks and her apprentice, the Sith Pureblood known as Praven, had been transporting a small ship of Jedi younglings from an auxiliary enclave. Since her retirement from active field duty, the Togruta Jedi Master had been most active nurturing and protecting the Order’s youngest recruits. When her ship had been cut off from Tython during the fighting, she’d sent an encoded transmission to inform them that her immediate charges were safe, but that they would not be joining the Order on their retreat into exile. She gave assurances that she had a plan for their survival and their education. Ulannium had been concerned with her plan, but Gnost-Dural had been satisfied.

“She must find her own path for her charges.” He had told Ulannium. “Besides, there are many more younglings we must evacuate and protect.”
