#oc: Jaimari

[swingingliveaway]

1, 11, 17 for oc rivals

1. MeanestI wanna say Azhirei because hegrew up really privileged and also he‘s a dick. Like he can be adecent person, maybe, but he just doesn‘t really care about peopleor consequences and being from a pretty influencal family hasn‘thepled with that.Also probably Daís because she still hasn’tfound her moral compass and can be a grade A asshole if she feelslike it.

KindestTerysh. He‘sbasically my „cinnamon roll, too good, too pure for this world“baby Jedi. Like he just wants to help people and be good and theOrder really doesn’t deserve him tbh.

11. Most ticklishLam‘ya, not that anyone(besides Andronikos) would dare to find out just how ticklish sheis.

Cruellest ticklerN‘heri,especially when it comes to certain tiny Twi‘leks who willconstantly steal every single one of her sweaters.

17. Judges a book by its coverAgain Azhirei and Dais becausethey‘re terrible people, but also Jaimari because she basicallyonly judged people by „worth trying to rob them or not“ and thatcan‘t be good.

Judges mostly by personality I would say Cerulian, but since shesees with the Force that‘s basically just how it is because shecan‘t do it any other way. Other than her, definitely Shadil. Atsome point she doesn‘t care much for factions or anything likethat, she just refuses to put up with any shit from anyone.

Character A: [Character B], have I ever put you in a dangerous situation?

Character B: All the time.

Character A: Then you should be used to it.

*The handwriting is a neat but small scrawl, showing many years of practice.*

Woman,

A letter should have a name addressed on it, but… I no longer know what to call you. I no longer know what to even call myself.

Part of me understands your reasoning, so I cannot find fault with you and your choices. But for you to think this family would accept me now? That they would accept me after all of this time? You say they are a noble family, and they buried me. Not just a body they buried, but they buried a memory they never even had a chance to enjoy.

Yet you say I have my mother’s eyes. Since when have eyes ever proven a lineage? You never taught me birthing as there was never any child born out here in the wilderness you hid us in, but you taught me the details of recording that we must endure to show a lineage - details that have no doubt never seen the light of day regarding my own birth. There is nothing to prove I am who you say I am.

Maybe that is for the best. If no one knows my name or my line, if no one knows where I came from, perhaps I can find peace in the snows of Zul’Drak. Perhaps I can fade away like a ghost in this place. Har’koa knows, there’s been more than enough death here. I would just be one of the many.

I know your intentions for this letter is not for me to hide away until I die. I… I have much to think about. But today, I must prepare for your rite of burial. Then I will plan mine. For it does not matter that my body physically walks any more.

Jaimari as we both knew her has died today.

[swingingliveaway]

7 and 8

7. “Sleep is for the weak!”N‘heri, probably, especially while onthe job. She just gets so focused on her target that she at timesbarely slows down to eat until the hunt is over. And, to a lesserextent, Shadil when on a mission that needs to be done becauseeveryone else is fucking incompetent.

“Sleep for a week”Definitely Jaimari – as fun andsmuggling and partying can be, in the end she just face plants intoher bed and doesn’t get up until she got a solid 12 hours of sleepand some snuggles from the gf

8. HappiestThat would probably be Cerulian becauseshe‘s scarily well adjusted after everything that happened in theJC story line (and no thanks to the Jedi tbh). But she still findshappiness in helping people, her extended family and spending timewith Qyzen. If it weren’t for Valkorion she‘d already havesettled down somewhere nice and quiet.

Saddest Shamira, my poorbroken Knight who apparently the Council doesn’t give a fuck about.Being the Emperors meat puppet was bad, but then Ziost happened andyeah, that did not help things. Especially after she found out thather partner Nally just disappeared, so she‘s not in a great placeand basically just keeping up appearances to not feel completelyworthless.

[swingingliveaway]

For whoever you want, how about 1, 7, 12, 19, and 22 for the oc psychology ask?

Thanks again for the ask :D I’m gonna go with Jaimari, my Smuggler because she never gets the attention she deserves from me.

1: What’s your OC’s biggest insecurity and how would they react if someone pointed it out to them?Her success coming from luck instead of skill - Jai knows she is really good at what she does, but whenever someone tells her she is where she is just because of luck her self-confidence kind of falters and she begins doubting herself. That is, inwardly at least. On the outside she would put on a huge grin, shrug and say something along the lines of “Well, what can you do. The Galaxy just loves me.” (Also possible finger guns, because that’s the kind of person she is.)

7: Does your OC have any irrational phobias?Earthquakes, specifically being swallowed by the ground during an earthquake. Makeb was not a fun time for her.

12: What is one of the most primary things your OC feels that is missing from their life?

A sense of community. She doesn’t want to settle down and start a family or something, but she grew up in a kind of “it takes a village to raise a child” place and sometimes she really misses bonds like that. Which might be why she latches onto any interesting looking Miralians she meets.

19: What boosts your OC’s confidence the most?

Accomplishing a heist or similar things that people tell her are impossible to pull off.

22: How does your OC usually show affection? Are they openly romantic or more restricted with their affectionate emotions?

Jai really doesn’t believe in holding back your emotions. If she likes someone they will know it - and everyone in their vicinity too. It took Akaavi some time getting used to Jai loudly (and slightly drunkenly) proclaiming how amazing and cute and hot she thought the Zabrak was and telling people to look at her awesome girlfriend because !!!!! So yeah. Definitely not shy about being affectionate.

This page seems to have poetry or lyrics written upon it. Perhaps this is the lullaby previously mentioned.

The sky is dark and the hills are white

As the storm-king speeds from the north to-night;

And this is the song the storm-king sings,

As over the world his cloak he flings:

“Sleep, sleep, little one, sleep;”

He rustles his wings and gruffly sings:

“Sleep, little one, sleep.”

On yonder mountain-side a vine

Clings at the foot of a mother pine;

The tree bends over the trembling thing,

And only the vine can hear her sing:

“Sleep, sleep, little one, sleep;

What shall you fear when I am here?

Sleep, little one, sleep.”

The king may sing in his bitter flight,

The pine may croon to the vine to-night,

But the little snowflake at my breast

Likes the song which I sing best,

“Sleep, sleep, little one, sleep;

Weary you are, next to my heart;

Sleep, little one, sleep.”

[drakkarijaimari]

There would be spots were tears had hit the parchment, not quite smearing any words out.

Mother,

     What a difference we had in the experience of burying our parents. Yours went out with cheers and burning passions. All I was able to give you was… me.

     You rest atop that hill we used to sit on to watch the sunrise some mornings. I think now on the lessons you taught me then - my herbs the primary of these lessons. But there was another lesson that was more subtle than what was led on. That even in bleakest areas of our life, beauty can be found.

     I took a bit of leather from that old worn out cloak of mine you were always telling me to replace and with it formed a satchel to carry the doll in. She now rests in it, carried on my hip right behind the sheath that carries my dirk on the left side.

     You said to sing the lullaby if I find the tears upon my eyes. I have been, ever since I laid the final stone on top of your grave. I dare not hope that I will find myself worthy of a child in the eyes of the Drakkari men. And I fear losing the lullaby I cling to so dearly as I fear it means I will lose your memory.

     Wait for me in the great mead hall, Mother. I know not how long it will take me to get there, but I know I will see you there when I arrive.

[drakkarijaimari]

*There are dark spots where tears have fallen on this page, smudging some of the neat writing.*

Mother,

    I buried you today. Gave you the burial rites as you taught me. And it was the worst day of my life. Drakkari are supposed to be strong and determined. Yet, I felt myself break down. I felt myself getting weaker. I might as well have been a Winterfang.

    The words I said to you before, the letter I wrote you before… It was all in anger and hurt. I still do not believe that this family will accept me. Why should they? But I know now it does not matter who birthed you. It does not matter what my line is. The woman who raised me to be the woman I am turning into… She will always be my mother, and she did not raise me to fail. But if this other family accepts me, then I am just receiving a blessing from Har’koa.

    Forgive me, Mother. Forgive me for being weak and wanting to just give up. You did not raise a child in the way of cowards. And yet, I was one. I was… not a Drakkari. Something less. Even for one of us that has not lived in the city all these years, outcasts as we are, I was something less than the snows on the ground.

    Jaimari as we knew her did die. But we both know a different Jaimari now. One that has outgrown her old fur and has a chance to find a life outside this small hut we have repaired together over and over in the years. While I know nothing else beyond this, it would be the traditional Drakkari way to meet this challenge head on. And so, I will.

    I may not continue my story for a few days, Mother. I must gather things and make plans. Trade for items I may need. I think the first part of my path will take me into the city. None know me there, so perhaps I can traverse it with little consequence. If my birth family was noble, then they must live close to the temples. Or maybe I can find clues there, even these years after the destruction of the Drakkari empire.

    For now, the story takes its pause as I plan. But my first steps will be towards the city. And from there, we will see what Har’koa lets me find.

[swingingliveaway]

...and that is all you need to know about Jai, probably.

[swingingliveaway]

...also I’m head over heels for you.

I love those two idiots together, kick-ass bi ladies in space, my ultimate weakness.

[swingingliveaway]

smol kiwi and tol mando girlfriend :D (or rather average kiwi and super tol girlfriend)

Jai somehow looks a lot more serious/professional in screencaps than she actually is (by a long shot) and I still love the imp pilot suit on her

Also the Cathar aand the blondie from that one mission are definitely a thing and no one can convince me otherwise

[swingingliveaway]

Look at those two *clutches face* Those horrible nerds. And I assume their entire relationship is something like

Jaimari: I WILL DO THE THING

Akaavi: Jai, don’t do the thing.

Jaimari: *does the thing*

Akaavi: Damnit, Jai, not again. *goes to keep her gf from being killed*

[swingingliveaway]

16, 26, 27 and 30 for all your ocs? or whoever you'd like c:

Oh God, sorry Aurrie, I (of course) totally forgot about his yesterday D: (And, man you picked some tough questions here). I’ll just do two characters for each question I think.

16. What are their best school subjects? What are their worst? List five of each.

In the Imp military academy Daís was really good at anything strategic or infiltration related because that stuff is some really valuable knowledge to her. She was really vored by some politics related stuff though, especially when it came to things like which Alderaan house is related which which other house or in a truce and stuff like that. She prefers to just read up on those things when she actually needs it.On the other hand during Sha`dils training all the physical things were really her thing, combat and assault training were a lot of fun. The basic medical training she received wasn’t really her thing, she doesn’t have the patience for things like that (so she is very, very glad to have an excellent medic like Elara in her team)

26. How does your character prepare for bed? Do they sleep at all or can they stay awake for days on end without trouble?

Thanks to the Force Carulian can actually stay awake for anextended period of time, but rarely does it if not entirely necessary because that jet lag/hangover feeling afterwards is just really not worth it. She likes to read in the evenings or talk to Qyzen in her or his quarters where it’s at least kind of quiet. They sometimes just talk about the planets they’ve been to, but also memories from their lives and things about their respective cultures. She actually takes off her mask during those talks because Qyzen doesn’t care about her lack of eyes (and that thing really isn’t that comfortable).

27. If your character had one thing to say to their parents before they died, what would it be?

Phena doesn’t really remember her mother, but if she had the chance to talk to her father again she would thank him for keeping her safe as long as he did and tell him she got their estate back amd that despite everything she’s doing fine.Lam'ya would tell them of her rise to power and something along the lines of „not suffering in vain“ and about Lord Kallig and that about her plans to reform the Empire in the hopes of making them feel better about living and dying as slaves.

30. Finally; if your character was forced to eat one thing for the rest of their life, what would they choose and why?

Since Jaimari is a bit of a food lover / foodie having to eat only one thing for her entire life would be pretty horrible to her, but all things considered she would probably decide on some kind of high quality steak dish.Larn’her‘irca on the other hand can survive on pretty much everything, food is more of a means to an end to her, so she would take the practical approach and choose something that would provide the right amount of energy.

[swingingliveaway]

Finally got Jaimari off Balmorra (God, I hate that planet...) and the nice thing about having Bowdaar with you instead of Corso: he doesn’t judge you for flirting with that cutie Twi’lek.

Also: Akaavi *raptor noises* beautiful badass Bounty Hunter <3 Finally :D
