#oc: Astraea

[kriscentrics]

sketching some OC concepts to round out my cast/story.

*said while gripping the sink and covered in blood* only three days late :D

the name of alia’s carbuncle is helios — something about the name calls to her, some sort of instinctual pull to it that she can’t describe even if she wanted, but it seems right for her little glimmery topaz being of aether. and after she learns of astraea and concepts and familiars, a part of her wonders if it’s somehow lingered across lifetimes that she can’t remember and transferred to this one in a connection between soul and aetheric companion, even if she isn’t the same. she doesn’t know if she’ll ever get the answer, but it doesn’t really matter anyway at this point, having found a semblance of purpose and peace with the legacy left to her.

“Life Debt”

“Starling” dialogue challenge snippet (492 words)

A snippet of a future argument between Sol and Astraea during the middle of the clone wars that includes only dialogue. I thought it would give me some more practice working on dialogue and challenge me to make sure it flows well 😊 I also wanted to try to delve deeper into Astraea and Sol’s relationship dynamic without giving too much away so please let me know how I did. Hope you enjoy! (Looking to doing a Rae’n focused snippet in the future cause I have so many ideas for her but still waiting for inspiration to strike 😅)

***

“What happened to the life debt you haven’t stopped going on about? I saved you and now you owe me. Isn’t that how it goes?”

“I don’t know, what happened to ‘I saved you because it was the right thing to do, so you don’t owe me anything.’? Let’s not change the story all of the sudden.”

“You owe me a debt, Sol, you gave me your word. As slaves our thoughts are the only things we own but when we were freed that changed. I don’t have to tell you what that means.”

“Now you want to mention it, when you’re actively trying to put yourself in harm's way? All so that I’ll allow you to get yourself killed without me interfering? Well you don’t get to do that! Not when you’re asking me to go against the oath I made to you. I swore I would always protect you and I'm not going back on that now. And you of all people do not get to use my oath as a bargaining chip.”

“I’m not going to get myself killed and I wasn’t bargaining. They’re in trouble and I refuse to stand around and wait for them to get killed…killed because of me, just like—”

“It wasn’t your fault then and it’s not your fault now.”

“You don’t know that. You weren’t there! You weren’t there… Get out of my way, Sol, and let me do what I have to.”

“No. I’m here now and if you’re expecting to go in there with no back up and half a plan you’re going to have to take me out yourself, because I’m not going anywhere.”

“Kriff it all, Sol, why can’t you just let me do this!”

“Because at least one of us has to keep you alive and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be you.”

“Sixty-seven percent.”

“What?”

“You said I have half a plan. I have sixty-seven percent of a plan and that’s an above fifty percent chance of survival, so I’m pretty satisfied with that.”

“Well I’m not. The other fifty percent chance—”

“Thirty-three percent.”

“—you’ll die isn’t an acceptable risk for me!”

“Well then what is an acceptable risk?”

“Zero! A zero percent chance is an acceptable risk!”

“Sol…we’re at war…”

“I know! I know… But I’m not willing to let you put yourself at more risk than we already have to face every day. We’ll figure out another plan, one where you’re not going in alone. That way I don’t have to risk dying of a heart attack before a blaster shot.”

“Don’t you dare joke about that.”

“Together then alright? You’ll have my back and I have yours.”

“I guess I can agree to that.”

“But try…to use my oath to manipulate me again—and I will continue to remain at your side, but as your guard, not as your friend.”

“I’m—”

“Don’t. Just…as long as you remember we’re in this together.”

“Yeah, together.”

𝗺𝗶𝗺𝗼𝘀𝗮, 𝗺𝗮𝗶 𝘁𝗮𝗶 for Astraea

Ahhh thank you for the ask!! ☺️ I actually meant to reblog the ask game to my writing blog @bluejay-in-write (if anyone's interested) so that's my fault oop but I shall just reblog this there eventually 😄 anyways try again!!! 💙

𝗺𝗶𝗺𝗼𝘀𝗮 〜 has your oc ever committed any crimes? if so, what did they do? if not, what would they be most likely to commit?

So umm crimes well that's a bit complicated… I mean the first time we see Astraea she is blasting some slavers with the force but should that even really be considered a crime 👀 (although she isn't doing the whole force thing on purpose it just kinda happened when she was trying to protect Sol) And really is it committing a crime if no one can prove you did it 😅 So basically yes Astraea has committed crimes but you can't prove a thing 😇

On a more serious note though Astraea would straight up break the law to protect or save someone but is very careful and smart about the way she does it so that someone might know it was her but they have absolutely no proof other than common sense. The law to her is only important so far as she can use it for her and others benefit and once it becomes something that hurts people Astraea tosses it straight out of the window.

𝗺𝗮𝗶 𝘁𝗮𝗶 〜 how was your oc’s life growing up? did they do well in school if they attended? do they have any awkward teenage memories?

Sooo uh Astraea grew up as a sex slave which her being a twi’lik well you know how the Galaxy sees/treats them. I'd rather not go into detail with that because while it's very important to her story and character the specifics are… Not great.

Anyways because of this she has to grow up fast and learn the rules of her enslavement and how to bend them as much as she can and use them to her benefit. By this I mean she quickly realizes that when she draws attention to herself and makes herself “attractive” to prospective buyers it takes attention away from the other slaves.

Eventually she becomes so popular that any time the slavers go to punish one of the other slaves she steps in to take the brunt of it knowing that her punishment won't be as harsh because she's made herself indispensable. And these things that she learns as a child strongly affect the way she approaches and handles situations as an adult.

Couple Goals Original under the cut

[atlantahammy]

Astra: First imprisons? He's waaay prettier than in my visions... I was also cleaning the building for my dads second Magic shop... He caught me off guard, heard me singing, and saw me dancing around.

Donnie: I was rather stunned by her singing voice! That and this big beautiful brain of mine was... loud in what it thought.

First Imprisons prompt V2 for @tmnt-ocxcanon-comp ;3

Drew a sketch of a friend, Sele Astraea of Astralog for practice with complementary colors!! It was really fun!! 🫶🏼🧡

[bluejay-in-write]

I love how this is just a thing like if you have a star wars oc they have a droid 🤣 and honestly that's so valid droids are great!!!! 😍

I haven't figured out what Astraea's droid companions name is but she's from the KX series which are the security droids that pretty much end up being a small army. But Astraea's droid friend is a dysfunctional prototype years before the KX series officially comes out.

For some reason she had an extremely high loyalty to whoever they had test her and would resist when they would try to reset her. So because of this they were planning on just destroying her and starting over but she escaped before they could do so, setting the company back by several years.

Somehow Astraea and the KX droid meet somewhere (still haven't figured out the details of this) and the droid stumbles upon Astraea crying. She is holding her legs to her chest with her head bent and the droid sits down in front of her and mimics Astraea.

The KX was programmed to recognize emotions and gauge if someone was a threat and during her travels she learned sadness and sees it in Astraea. But sadly they hadn't yet programmed the ability to talk into her and so she's unable to comfort the girl.

From the moment she saw the girls destress Astraea unknowingly acquired a loyal droid friend who would never leave her side. And KX acquired a human friend who would do anything to protect her and keep her safe.

Also this is KX!

Star Wars OC creators, tell me about your OC's droid companions!! pls

[opossumbloom]

This was going to go with an unrelated drawing but, I got caught up watching episode 5 of HOTD 🧍🏻‍♀️sooooooo

ANYWAYS REFERENCE:

yEAH

[artekai]

Guess what - new Horizon OC just dropped!

Though I feel like Astraea is more closely related to my crossover AU than most of my characters, so I'll take the chance to plug my fic which explains her origins here - Artificial (Emotional) Intelligence.

Xe's my most recent character so as you can see xyr playlist is a work in progress, but I'm excited to explore xyr story so hopefully I'll be adding more in the future :D

[lavampira]

how haunting it must be for venat to mentor astraea after the elpis events though. setting aside the responsibility of saving her world and her people, and having faith that fate will play its course and d’alia will keep her half of their promise to each other, but to come to terms with the fact that her successor on the convocation will one day die, that her soul will be sundered because of venat, and she can’t share a word of it with her, even though astraea has surely heard rumors of this supposed familiar of hers wandering elpis. not a word about this shard of her soul bearing an eye the same color as her. not a word about how brilliantly her soul’s color still gleams, nor the tale of how two warriors of light merged to make it so and protect another world from the man whom astraea knows best, nor the crystal she carries of her magic. not a word about the very similar justice-seeking, curious, adventurous, and hopeful nature that would possibly bring astraea comfort in her final moments to know that her legacy would live on through a woman such as her.

"I calculated the odds"

"Starling" Snippet (278 Words)

A snippet of a scene that I'm not sure is even gonna be canon at least not like this but I was inspired by @starqueensthings Bad Batch post I stumbled upon and knew I had to write it out. It's missing specific context of Astraea's and Sol's friendship and the repeated interaction I'm referencing but I hope I wrote it well enough so it's still conveyed! ☺️

This is also for the WIP Wednesday (Friday) @avasrhodes tagged me in tyyyy sorry it's late 😅

***

“Please, tell me you calculated the odds!” Sol begged, staring from across the precipice that stood between him and Astraea.

Sol waited for her confident little smirk that she'd flash, showing him that Astraea knew she'd survive the whole time. He waited for Astraea to say the exact same words she did every time she returned safely from whatever crazy stunt she decided to pull.

But despite Sol’s pleading, Astraea remained silent, avoiding his gaze as she stared into the dark black drop in front of her.

“Tell me you calculated the odds!” Sol repeated—no demanded this time, growing more desperate as the seconds passed.

Still the only reply he received was the whistling wind echoing in the emptiness that surrounded them.

For the first time ever Sol wished he was a Jedi. If only he could use some of their force magic and tug Astraea away from the edge and stop this madness, Sol thought, as he watched his best friend step closer to the edge of the precipice. But he wasn't so lucky.

With the looming pit dividing them, Sol was too far away to get to Astraea in time and unable to stop whatever insane idea she had in her head to save the galaxy. Kriff the Galaxy. If Sol lost his best friend because of it, well then the galaxy could burn for all he cared.

Finally, Astraea looked up from the chasm at her feet, as if just noticing Sol standing there for the first time.

“I’ve calculated the odds,” She said as her lips curled up into a smile. Yet there was a sadness in Astraea’s eyes that terrified him.

She jumped.
