Full Bio (Toyhouse) | Spotify Playlist

Ar'eonis'terrinxx | "Terrin"

Grand Champion of the Great Hunt | Alliance Commander

Chiss | Cis Woman | She/Her | Bi

Born: 9 BTC (19yo class story / 34yo Onslaught) Alignment: Chaotic Neutral SO: Torian Cadera (married) Child(ren): Atten, Araa, Anaehr

Loud, confident, sarcastic, and surly, she likes to make her presence known when she enters a room. With a temper as hot as her preferred weapon of fire, and those unfamiliar with her often not knowing what might set it off, they tend to bite their tongue in her presence. There's little variance between her primary modes of scowling or grinning, and she can switch between the two on the flip of a coin, which makes her short temper that much harder to predict. Also extremely protective of innocents and unafraid to tear her enemies apart, she's a force to be reckoned with.

Fortunately, she does mellow out considerable when she unexpectedly comes into leadership of the Alliance, realizing the responsibility she held and knowing that acting like a punk teenager wouldn't make her many allies. Though she stumbles a lot at first and relies on her advisors for direction, she grows into an excellent leader supported by many. Though she still has a temper, she's working on it.

what do you do when they ask you to betray family?

Whumptober 2023

Day 2: “I’ll call out your name, but you won’t call back.”

Thermometer | Delirium | "They don't care about you."

Star Wars: The Old Republic

Warnings: Manipulation

Characters: Anaehr Cadera (Bounty Hunter, Chiss/Human, he/him), Ehna'dissen (Sith Interrogator, Twi'lek, she/her), Ataiqo (Sith Assassin, Rattataki, she/her)

They’d called him for a job. Anaehr was no stranger to working for Imperials, nor Sith, but the Twi’lek’s jabber-mouth was quickly getting on his nerves.

Even so, he wasn’t dumb enough to tell her to shut her trap so they could get to the point and lay out the details for the job.

Instead, he crossed his arms and scowled at the pair as he waited. While the Twi’lek talked on and on, sprinkling cutesy nicknames in all the while, the other (he couldn’t tell what she was behind her mask and the robes that covered her head-to-toe) hadn’t said a word. Still, he knew she was Ataiqo, the Empire’s newest Wrath in everything but name.

“Now, Mr. Cadera—”

He suppressed a grimace. “Just… Call me Anaehr.”

Ehna’dissen hummed, then prattled on as if his interruption hadn’t happened—albeit, she didn’t call him Cadera again.

“Don’t you see our vision? Oh, this could be wonderful!”

He sighed. Took a breath (don’t get annoyed with a Sith, don’t get annoyed with a Sith). Quirked a brow. “Look. I’m just a mercenary. And what you’re askin’ me is to betray my family.”

She tsked at him, waggling a finger as she strode across the room to stand before him. She seemed so much smaller standing there, but he knew better than to underestimate her. She may have been tiny, and talked as if they were the best of friends, but she was well-known for her cruelty. One wrong word, she’d turn on him in a heartbeat.

So he bit his tongue and let her speak her mind.

“Oh, come now! Your family? Pah!” She circled him, manicured nails tracing his pauldron, across his back, and he had to resist the urge to shudder and pull away. “The same family that ignored you? The same family that offered leadership to your elder siblings upon a silver platter, leaving you with nothing?” His lip twitched, but he didn’t let himself snarl. “Tsk. Dear Anaehr… Do you not realize what this itty bitty little job could get you?”

His arms tightened across his chest, eyes averting to the floor.

“All we’re asking is a distraction. You distract your darling mum, we take the information, we leave, job done!”

“You’re asking me to betray the trust of my mum and dad.”

She circled back around to his front, both hands finding his shoulders and squeezing; it would have been painful had he not been armored, he was sure of it. “So what?” There was a grin upon her lips. It bared teeth filed into perfect fangs; he couldn’t shake the feeling that she’d use them in an instant if she saw the need.

But it was Ataiqo to speak next. Her voice was so soft he’d almost call it a whisper, and when he met the eyes of her mask he got the sense that she was staring into his very soul. “They don’t care about you,” she murmured.

He grimaced, and he wasn’t sure if it was because of what Ataiqo said, or that Ehna’dissen brushed a gentle hand over his cheek. “They left you with nothing, dear. Atten and Araa are the stars, but what of you?”

Anaehr swallowed. Were they right..?

“It’s a simple job, you can show them what you’re capable of. Be a dear and do this for us, hmm?”

“I…” He bit his lip—hard—but found himself nodding slowly. “...Okay. I’ll do it.”

tagged by @raven-of-domain-kwaad - thank you, Raven! 💚💜

tagging @teetertottertales and whoever else wants to do this! (bc most of who I'd have tagged are tagged already haha)

I'll be sticking to SWTOR characters for this, just for consistency

Favorite OC: Rediaex'aere'zortiea

This was a difficult one, but I think I've got to go with Xaerez. I've really enjoyed developing him over the last few years, and I always enjoy writing fics for him, answering asks, or just doing Certified Oliver Ramblings about him. The way duty contradicts morals for them (A Lot) makes them a lot of fun; I always enjoy thinking "ok, this is what he Wants to do, but this is what he's Going to do" when it comes to the various situations I shove them into whether they Want those situations or not.

Newest OC: Fower Vek

I believe it's Fower ("Flower"), from the Rediscovery Era crew! Like Farsc, she's a professor - they worked together at a university on Coruscant, so that's how Farsc ended up going to her to get her on the crew and in on a little grand theft auto to steal the Star Hopper from a museum oops. She's an astronomer and cartographer, so makes sure the crew doesn't get lost while they search for where the Alliance disappeared to all those thousands of years ago. I like to think she's an ancestor to Lina and Varrich.

Oldest OC: Synnda V'ehsz

I have many OCs much older than Synnda, but in keeping it to SWTOR, he was my very first. ...Probably not surprising, considering my legacy name haha - although he was named after my legacy, instead of the other way around. I did (and still kinda do) self-project a lot onto him, but I've developed him a lot over the years and he's very dear to me. I've got a Synnda clone on just about every server if that says anything - including 2 versions of him on Star Forge alone.

Meanest OC: Ehna'dissen

Ehna, hands down. (Commander!Varrich comes in close, however) She's an interrogator, and enjoys holding power over others. It's because of her that Xaerez's Castellan restraints get re-triggered. Because of her Synnda eventually loses his life. Because of her that the Cadera siblings nearly tear each other apart as she watched on. She's absolutely horrible, she knows she's horrible, and she thinks it's all just a fun game that she's winning.

Softest OC: Parrakh Djal

He just wants to be a healer, help others when he can. His life had an unfortunate start, but he finds his place as one of Synnda's students.

Most Aloof/Standoffish OC: Anaehr Cadera

The youngest of Terrin and Torian's kids, Anaehr was already distant from his older siblings who were less than a year apart. He distances himself from his family as he grows jealous and angry of his siblings' success, makes terrible mistakes for it, but stands his ground and refuses to feel guilt for the actions that make him Dar'manda. He doesn't let anyone get close to him; his anger becomes numbness, and he becomes a cold and hateful man.

Dumbest (Affectionate) OC: Jen Sept

My Voidhound. Need I say more? ajksl;djaskld Jen is. A lot. He can walk into a trap, know he's walking into a trap, and continue to walk in with zero plan anyway. It's....a good thing he has Risha and Kitty to steer him in the right direction, or this cat man probably would have gotten himself killed a long time ago.

Smartest OC: Kitty

While Synnda and Qizulth are both extremely intelligent, their knowledge is a lot more limited to their interests. Kitty? He learned to survive during over a decade on the run after sneaking out of the academy on Korriban. Medicine, cultures, languages, mechanics, history--chances are if you ask him something, he can at the very least point you in the direction of getting the right answer even if he doesn't know it himself. Good thing, too: Marrying the Voidhound means someone needs to have the braincell or they're doomed.

Horniest OC: Jen Sept

Jen again! He kinda just. Slept his way through the galaxy until he met Kitty. And now that they're together, Jen likes to experiment in bed, and sometimes they'll bring in a third for the night, too. With Jen having so much power in the underworld, it works Mighty Well for getting other bosses to cooperate with him.

OC You'd Bang: Aaz'n Tarnak or Lina Tophrik

I like strong women OKAY don't look at me

OC You'd be Friends With IRL: Kidak Hess

He's just a very gentle person, and the thing about him is he Knows How To Be Friends With Introverts Without Being Overwhelming. He's totally chill to just be in someone's company without needing to be Doing Things. He's happy to talk about his own interests for hours, but at the same time he'd be happy to listen to someone else ramble about theirs while he he just soaked up everything they said. He'd just be really nice company, and the exact type of person I'd love to hang out with.

[voidendron]

some new looks for 7.0 that I finally got around to posting about, and two new(ish) faces!

Chakem has proper facial hair, and I also decided to change him to a redhead for the Color Coordination™. (and because Apparently I only had one redhead before??? so thought I'd change that)

Terrin looking badass in her new armor pieces

Jessi finally has a fitting hairstyle and complexion. She's on the intersex spectrum, and doesn't mind the bit of stubble she tends to get

and finally, two faces finally on Live instead of just theoretical Next Gen OCs on the PTS... Anaehr and Deca. Anaehr, or Cadera'naehr, is youngest child of Commander Terrin and Torian Cadera; his actions lead him down the path of a Dar'manda, shunned by his elder siblings who now lead the Alliance. Deca is only child of Lina and Felix Iresso, and takes the lead of Alliance Security after the Wrath's death or retirement from the position

History

Born not even a year after older brother Atten, the two grew up to develop a close bond as they were raised together.

Araa proved to be the "muscle" between the two even when they were just toddlers, breaking into things they shouldn't have while Atten figured how to do it in the first place. This trait would follow them into adulthood, with Araa taking charge of the military side of the Alliance while Atten kept it all together and acted as its face and voice of leadership.

They had a little brother born when Araa was nearly eleven, and unfortunately that age gap made it hard for either of them to connect with Anaehr. This would go on to cause issues as Anaehr got older and grew jealous of the other two; it would be Araa to get into a verbal fight with him that sent him to find work away from Odessen.

When their mother retired, though it was Atten to gain the actual title of Commander, they both knew they were equals and one couldn't perform all the work required of Commander without the other. Araa supports the decision to steer the Alliance more toward neutrality, standing loyally at her brother's side even as he's the one who ends up with the blame on his shoulders due to being the "voice" between their decisions.

Araa, as a result, works with the Alliance's military to ensure it does its work properly and doesn't find itself dragged back into Republic or Imperial conflicts. For the most part, she finds that having it aid with rebuilding efforts becomes a good use for their forces. They have it nip at opposing factions to keep them in their own spaces, watches hyperspace routes, and uses more force when necessary when the Empire, Republic, or Hutts or overreach.

Unfortunately, Araa wasn't aware of Anaehr's eventual treachery that results in the deaths of their parents until Atten's frantic comm after the fact. She wholly supports him in disowning him from Clan Cadera, and in banning him from the Alliance - though can't help but feel guilty. Maybe if they'd tried a little harder, maybe if they hadn't treated him as an outcast, then maybe Anaehr wouldn't have become... Well. She's knows it's too late to think of the "what ifs" now, but can't really help it, either.

And when the Republic and Empire both get sick of the Alliance being a thorn in their sides? Araa is the one to suggest looking for a new planet, and contacting their only remaining ally of Zakuul for any help it can spare.

And Araa, one step ahead of Atten, is the first to set foot on their new planet that the Alliance would come to call home, lightyears away from known space that would come to lose records of it for thousands of years to come.
