thinking thunks again about how despite the fact they're cousins, yana and marda are very much the very idea of star wars twins

at its core, phase 2 is about two sets of "twins" - the zeverons and the ros - and how their star wars twins-ness reshaped the very fabric, the very fate of the galaxy

and then you have the literal twins of the acolyte and how they also fundamentally reshaped the fate of the galaxy

honorary and literal twins of the high republic i love you dearly

so I’m currently playing curse of strahd for my main dnd campaign and it’s a MIRACLE we haven’t all been arrested yet, so here’s what 4/6 of the party WOULD be arrested for if it happened

Teric - incitement to riot: urged on a crowd to violently overthrow and murder a bad regime

Marda - assault, battery: attacked people

Gerra - assault, aggravated battery - brainwashed by Strahd into assaulting and harming civilians with intent to kill

Sil - petty theft, murder: we don’t actually know if she’s done anything. but we Know shes probably murdered someone. probably.

Combat questions: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 for Marda.

wow, thanks for the big ask! lets get down to it 🥰

3. marda is a minimum height asura, so hand to hand is really gonna depend on who shes up against. she knows how to fight up close and could probably pull it off, but she strongly prefers distance.

6. she can do either, but her last krewe typically had a lot of frontline fighters that freed her up to get into position and take out targets from a hiding spot/vantage point, and that was kind of the ideal. shes been ambushed/outnumbered before and hasnt backed down, even though one instance of that led to her getting pretty severely injured. basically, she agreed to stay behind on a kodan sanctuary as 'collateral' while the reat of the krewe investigated something, and icebrood overran the sanctuary while she was alone there.

9. she can probably tear off some strips of her shirt or something to jerry rig a splint or bandages, but she isnt a medic.

12. marda is one of those thieves with a jillion little weapons or devices hidden on herself. without her guns shes still able to grab a dagger, a smoke bomb, or what have you. her hair ribbons are canonly hidden garrotes and shes used them :D

15. while she does have shadow magic and uses it occasionally to hide herself or teleport short distances, its not very strong at all. shes hurt herself just trying to teleport one other person.

18. with no weapons or magic? she fights dirty. i hope you like pocket sand, crotch punches, and being kicked in the knee!

21. she runs deadeye and usually works as a sniper, or uses pistols at a somewhat shorter range.

24. her girlfriend, a dynamics grad, gave her the arcane marksman rifle and pistol set as a gift, and special ammo to go with it. she has other guns, but these arw her go-to.

wed be here all day if i posted ALL of them, so heres the main ones! ill still cut it to be courteous for folks who dont care, also my screen shots are still shit, i tried my best lmao

the one i originally made this sideblog for, and still one of my mains for gameplay. Makk is bisexual and genderfluid, though hes chill about pronouns. call him what you like.

featuring snuggles, the golemite he built to help him remember shit because he has adhd so hard yall

Yaria is panromantic and asexual! though her first love is still toxicology.

Zenni quit her job as a peacemaker the same day she transed her gender. shes a tattoo artist now and living her best possible life.

Marda is a lesbian. shes on the ace spectrum as well.

Halle is pansexual/panromantic. And awkward as hell 💖

HAPPY PRIDE GW2, SHARE YOUR LGBT+ OCS!

As pride month gets underway, I think it'd be fun to kickstart a chain of sharing our ocs who fall anywhere under the pride umbrella! From gay/lesbian/bi to aro/ace to trans/gnc, please tell us all about your ocs that are being celebrated this month! (And yourself if you'd like to!)

I've finished reading Path of Deceit today so have some doodles with Kevmo, Marda and Zallah🥰

omg news from reddit I hadn't considered: someone pointed out the plot of the Acolyte wouldn't be happening if not for the hyperspace disaster, because that's what brought the Jedi to Brendok, which wouldn't have happened if not for Marchion Ro and the Nihil which wouldn't have happened if not for

FUCKING MARDA RO.

It all comes back to Marda fucking Ro.

I mean I'm joking because you could continue extending the causal relationship back....but also wait...

Because Marda was radicalized initially by Elecia Zeveron, the Mother. And the Mother was who she was and took over the Path of the Open Hand...because her sister was Force Sensitive enough to become a Jedi and she wasn't and she was left behind.

wow this is a circle.

This but THR Phase II.

and i said i really love when star wars is women being traumatized and gaslit into being something wicked and broken they were never meant to be, and sometimes they make it out and sometimes they don't but i love them every time

[tremendouskoalachild]

finally updated my little plot of young star wars women whose inner rage could power a sun

thank you for the additions, acolyte

9, 11 and 25 for Makk and someone else you'd like to ramble about!

9. makk is actually super squeamish around blood and cant help anyone XD best he could do is construct a healing turret for some passive wound closing?

yaria is something of an herbalist and field medic, though her skills aren't on par with an actual doctor. she can patch you up well enough to get to one.

halle had to put his skills with needle and thread to work in verdant brink after the pact ships went down, stitching wounded soldiers together. he doesn't LIKE medical work, but he can and will do his best if situations happen.

11. makks weapons have to be things he built or can do physical damage with. guns, explosives, a giant wrench he can use as a hammer, etc. hes no good at all with arcane weapons like foci or scepters, unless he can bonk you on the head with it.

marda does have daggers on her to use in a pinch, but shes kind of bad with them XD long range weapons are way more her speed

25. i played a long time in an rp guild that encouraged canon compliance, so i dont have a whole lot of non-in game magic.

makk is a pretty straightforward engineer who works with his hands a lot, though he does magic up some aspects of his gear like bombs and turrets so i can handwave him just having those things.

halle is necromancer, but has learned how to use his own life force to 'tether' someone on the brink of death and buy them time, if that counts?

yaria treats her undead minions like pets. shes named her flesh golem aloycious and usually has him out and lumbering around behind her for combat, heavy lifting, what have you. she also sometimes holds onto the 'tail' of her blood fiend for comfort, like a kid with a balloon. she tends to supplement her magic with various toxins, and she was doing that well before harbinger dropped :D
