#oc: Khano Vexa

[lanabenikosdoormat]

A long time ago, @vexa-legacy drew Jed for me, and I’ve been dying to repay the favor! So here’s a Khano sketch for you 💙

[sullustangin]

Many thanks to @shywizardflower // @harukoo14 (I'm having trouble tagging your main) for illustrating my minor insanity.

Because you see, I'm in a guild with Khano Vexa, main OC of @vexa-legacy who has a heart of gold and a sometimes Rated R life....we talk about art and fic.

And I just finished a fic exchange centering around Vexa Pasan, one of the OCs of @starknstarwars. She's a child/young teenager and a super light-sidey Jedi with a destiny...

There are just some activities that one Vexa does, but not the other. And that goes both ways, as illustrated above! So I've been having some cognitive dissonance trying to catch and feed plotbunnies for "Vexa."

Here's to the Vexas!

@shywizardflower //@harukoo14 has a Ko-fi, and their commissions are open.

Eventually met Theron Shan and they began their relationship. They broke up after the betrayal on Umbara, and in this time Khano became briefly involved with Torian Cadera.

It took several months after Theron returned home from Nathema before they got back together and then eventially got married.

(Their wedding took place on Odessen; Corso was Khano's best man, Lana stood in for Theron. Both Jace and Satele were present. Theron surprised Khano and took his last name, becoming Theron Vexa.)

Friends/Allies: Best friend is Corso Riggs. Considers both Koth and Lana to be close friends. Risha, Torian, Mako, and Rass Ordo are also notable friends.

History:

Khano's parents were both Republic soldiers in the Great galactic war. His father was a combat medic, and his mother was a sniper. (She was the one who taught Khano how to fire a blaster.) After the war they essentially became hippies and settled on a back corner of Dantooine where they grow the Long-Leaf.

Khano was a tall, wiry kid who wouldn't stop talking. His older sister usually bossed him around and never approved of his shenanigans.

When he got older and began to grow bigger and more hardy, Khano was put to work for his father and spent his summers trimming his father's crops, then accompanying him on deliveries and drop offs. When he got old enough, he started doing the rounds himself.

Khano had a penchant for getting in trouble, and in his late teens, he ended up leaving home to work with a smuggler crew who regularly ran spice.

He has a good relationship with his parents and visits them regularly.

Personality: Khano is laid-back, flirtatious, and charismatic. It is hard not to like him. He possesses a sharp wit, laughs frequently, and is usually seen smirking. He does, however, exude a sort of "bad boy" vibe. In his smuggler days he slept around, drank a lot, dabbled in spice. As a married man, he is a doting father and a loyal husband. He is a lot smarter than he lets on.

Other Information:

Likes: Huttball, gambling, swoop racing, ice cream, sex, Weequay metal, fist-fights.

Dislikes: "Last Call."

Hobbies: Restores classic swoop bikes, has an impressive blaster collection. Massive Huttball fan. Surprisingly, Khano enjoys reading. (Theron likes to tease him and call him a nerd, but actually finds it attractive.)

Habits: Khano enjoys smoking the long-leaf, usually what his father grows. He rarely smokes tobac. Social drinker. He requires caf in the morning to function.

Fears: Losing his hair

Trivia: Khano is left handed. He was named after his paternal grandfather. His eye colour is a genetic trait on his father's side, which he passed on to his own daughter.

It's 2023 secret Santa and I can finally release my gift from the closet.

This year I got to draw @vexa-legacy character Khano Vexa, the blue hair smuggler. Since I was allowed be creative I took inspiration from Han Solo Magazines. Hope you like it.

Commission Done💜😍 thankyou for commissioning✌️

[chaoticstrata]

So I am trying to work on a bio write up for Izenom and Zaberial. I'm kind of at a loss for want to do (also trying not to do one for Aketho since the whole point was to give my other OCs the spotlight. XD). Might do something similar for them that @vexa-legacy did for Khano, but possibly not as detailed?

I don't know, I'm always at a loss for these things, especially since all the lore is just jumbled up in my head...and I have the pension to switch things up for toons. LOL

Here's @vexa-legacy 's Khano, for a trade art :)

Found a silly pose, used a silly pose

🤷‍♀️

[sullustangin]

Matching Guildee shame shots. The wrinkles are worse in neon lights.. .which is a lot of the smug story. And Date Night.

edit: @verbose-vespertine woe woe woe my boat

I am NOT okay with this.

[vexa-legacy]

Tia and Vellis Vexa

Khano's parents are the equivalent of Space Hippies who served their time in the Republic forces, but retired to a farm on some back corner of Dantooine to grow the "long leaf".

No tragic backstory here, just regular down-to-earth folk who love and support their son.
