#oc: brenki dvuhmi

[disaster-bi-shan]

quick note for my own reference and anyone else is interested, for which of my ocs I'm planning to draw as disco skills next, though I tend to mix in other skill styles which would feature in their builds.

penndi: drama (although it was a big toss up between that and suggestion), with high rhetoric, inland empire, middle savoir faire + authority. INT/Purple mix

pannatt: volition(?) or maybe a phys skill, I'm still thinking on it. she'd also have high interfacing. purple/PHYS/MOT

(sil: aside from empathy, they have high encyclopedia, logic, suggestion, conceptualization and rhetoric etc. so INT with a bit of additional purple from volition and a little bit of authority. I'd think in this instance all force users would have at least a higher baseline level of endurance, volition, perception, shivers and pain threshold; empathy might vary between different force users, as that tends to be variable across real life people Anyway)

ry: pain threshold, HEAVY as shit PHYS build, incl. half light, with a little bit of rhetoric, empathy, drama, and suggestion.

ralith: logic? INT build, some MOT mixed in

brenki: shivers (toyed with electrochemistry as she's an adrenaline junkie but thought since she's mildly force sensitive and streetwise shivers fit better + savoir faire and hand-eye coord), phys/mot build

hypothetical c9/IA: suggestion (as seen with penndi, I struggled to allocate the more appropriate skill. obv high drama, volition and pain threshold, plus perception, interfacing, hand/eye coordination, and savoir faire so INT/MOT weighted)

keidara: authority or esprit de corps (self explanatory, purple/phys)

mezkai: savoir faire (MOT: hand eye coord, interfacing, perception, + a bit of purple thru inland empire, INT from drama, conceptualization, suggestion, and a dash of PHYS for electrochemistry)

tathrik: electrochemistry (lmao. additional drama, savoir faire, hand eye coordination etc.)

outfit stressdoodle + meme w/ tath for good measure

alright

feel free to reblog for a bigger sample size if you'd like :p

[disaster-bi-shan]

when I get round to remaking turaa (as a commando bc god i cannot stand vanguard, pt at least has the animations going for it being at least kinda satisfying although GOD I was so fucking squishy doing onslaught on Brenki as pyrotech it was an absolute nightmare even with 306 gear, so I'm not sure if I even wanna keep her and reroll her as merc instead.) im gonna change his lekku design so they aren't so fuckign infuriating to draw, probably stripey

maybe change his face paint up a bit too, we'll see, still try and keep the "eyebrows" thing tho

a preview >:3c

(it gets worse :D)

[disaster-bi-shan]

the dvuhmis have a shared theme of declaring that they don't belong to someone and retaining their PERSONHOOD and independence and sense of self in the face of adversity and someone trying to strip it from them. whether it be abusive parents, partners, even slavery and corrupt institutions, they always find eachother again. They fight for what they believe is right, because of their strong sense of justice, and though they often suffer through hardships because of it, that conviction is unshakable and they are ALWAYS able to pick themselves up again and help eachother through.

They can weather pretty much anything, because their family came together because of compassion, taking what they were deprived of and so desperately craved and giving that back to their spouses/children/siblings/parents(delete as applicable). Their sense of honour and overall sense of conduct is guided by overwhelming love and compassion for others and eachother, and it SHOWS. They embody the epitome of Cathar values whilst not clinging to the dogmatic old and often bigoted traditions that often stifled the older generation, instead keeping to the spirit rather than the letter.

And I'm gonna go into a corner and cry now

I just really... love my cat family

[aurriearts]

this is harddd

[disaster-bi-shan]

how do you deal with stress?

ry, looking extremely frazzled and surrounded by baked goods in various stages of being made. (vette is to the side swiping a tart off the counter): baking.

pannatt: train! also eat a lot of yoghurt.

pannatt:

pannatt: i need so much yoghurt. this galaxy is falling apart. why am I always the only one people say who's able to fix it. [eats another spoonful and sighs]

sil, who paces up and down the ship so often they've worn in the floor now: stressed? i'm not stressed. this is my 'i'm very calm right now' look, see? i'm so calm. I'm the pinnacle of jedi serenity.

(felix, handing them a cup of tea: it's denial.)

penndi: oh, that's easy, tending to my plants. of course. electrocuting people is also good for pent up stress.

penndi: better to eliminate the source of it, you see. [smiles brightly]

brenki: exercise! punching bags are great since i can picture someone who I'm real mad at and just go to town with it.

sundyia: [sharpens their knives and stares down the camera] wouldn't you like to know.

mezkai: sketching my crew and the places we go to. we see some cool stuff and it'd be a waste not to practice.

[risha: uh huh. so by your crew you mean just drawings of akaavi while she's training in the cargo hold?

mezkai, turning beet red: uhhhhhhh..... that's not true, there's some of the rest of you guys!

risha: keep digging that hole, captain.]

turaa: tinkering with my gear works pretty well, since there's always things to tune up. i tend to pull things apart and see if I can put them together again. I like to sit by elara to while she does her own thing, it's nice.

ralith: [is in a perpetual state of stress and has never done anything calming in his life] ???

[disaster-bi-shan]

oh god imagining the get help scene from ragnarok with ry and brenki is hysterical even if the scenario for it to occur is entirely infeasible

B: let's do "get help"!

R: no.

B: come on you love it

R: no, it's humiliating

B: do you have a better plan?

R: we are *not* doing "get help".

Jumpcut

Brenki, stumbling out of the lift with ry's arm slung over her shoulder: help, please, my brother is dying, get help!

*yeets ry at the enemies like a sack of potatoes, toppling them over like dominos*

B: ah, classic :')

R, dusting himself off: ughhhh

[aurriearts]

2a brenki!!! and/or 2c ry!!!!

DIDN’T CRASH THE SHIP :D

[disaster-bi-shan]

Ten facts about Brenki?

THE GIRL!!!!!!!!!!

Brenki was in the Dantooine Militia before during the Battle for Dantooine (around the time the Treaty was signed so 0 ATC) and saw a lot of conflict in the few months she was stationed and made her PTSD even worse. Quit right after it was over. I guess also consolidated a lot of her opinions on the Empire and the Republic, which is to say pretty negative although the empire wins out for Worst Faction, holy Shit war crimes

I guess it's a matter of desperation (and a whole load of railroadery, hey Bounty Hunter story!!) taking jobs from Imperials although she does try to maintain a level of honour and not take marks on innocent people

Loves spicy food, from just eating cathar food and her other tendencies, it just kinda… fit? "If it's not capable of making a human feel like they're dying, it's not hot enough." Don't let her be in charge of seasoning for cooking unless you want half the crew down for a week, just give her the chili seasoning for her own food.

I think her sense of smell and taste is a little messed up from all the fires she's set off. that might also be why.

remains the coolest aunt forever, she's the kind of gal that wears leather and denim jackets with a shitton of patches on, think aubrey little from amnesty

OOH now I've decided she can embroider, she picked it up bc she wanted to make custom patches for herself and she got really good at it, she already knew how to sew and fix up her clothes so why not make them look cool too??

Has gone through the entire rainbow dyeing her hair, including at one point having the rainbow and the aro flag. I guess when something traumatic happens it's like, wellp better dye it.

speaking of, she cuts, styles and dyes her own hair bc doesn't let anyone touch it except her family or very close friends

she'd be a pretty good hairdresser I feel since she'd do her siblings hair (and eventually her mothers' hair) too bc it was just cheaper and more convenient for the four of them.

mako gets her hair cut by her a lot. maybe torian too? It's a good opportunity to talk :')

(ohhhhh modern au brenki is a part time hairdreser?? that's an idea….)

(I'd like to think it's a cathar thing? since ry is like that too although that's less cultural related and more boundaries and practicality for him)

another thing she and ry have in common is that they dumb themselves down around people so they underestimate them. They're much smarter than people give them credit for, and to be working inside the Empire for so long as outsiders (and not give away that they absolutely loathe it) they have to be

brenki can use two blasters at once! she's better at close quarters fighting (read: powertech) but i think it's cool so now she has two blasters. yeehaw.

absolutely hates the texture of berries with loads of seeds in them and especially anything where they're preserves n making it all gritty. Like she barely eats fruits (cathar aren't meant to have much fruit) and it's just all out rude that food has the audacity to taste so bad

oh yeah spicy nerf jerky is a favourite of hers, she likes her dried and cured meats

[disaster-bi-shan]

hm for no one's point of reference except my own ry's deadname was irai and brenki's was kharym bc I feel the names should be more different to their chosen names but at least keep (some of, in brenki's case) the nicknames derived from the deadnames ie. rai/ry and khara

[aurriearts]

*HOLLERS* HEY BWA ABOUT THAT POST-KOTET KOTH CONTENT

will this ever be properly done? prooobably not but god do i love them 

[disaster-bi-shan]

assorted oc thoughts

im bored and sick so here

Pannatt loves yoghurt, especially yoghurt pots. She'd happily eat them all day, which Doc doesn't approve of because she'll get malnourished so he convinces her to try more high protein versions too.

(In a really off the wall bodyswap fic idea where thanks to valkorion hijinks ry and pannatt swap consciousnesses, Theron can tell something's off when he finds what looks like ry with a tray of snap pot blue milk yoghurt in hand. Meanwhile "Pannatt's" made a bee line for the kitchen and repeatedly crosses her arms infront of her trying very hard not to dig her nails into them and scratch her arms up. Also knocking her head and montrals on doorframes and open cupboard doors while she pulls out ingredients for baking something.)

Salvurr's a demi-girl! so all the dvuhmi grandmas are at least gnc if not all trans (ruha is a butch lesbian and uses she/her and he/him pronouns. also makes it easier for their kids to differentiate between them when talking about one of them, because three mothers mean lots of confusion about who they're referring to.)

Sometimes Salvurr's former husband drops in to visit with his husband :D

ry's favourite animals are kath hounds and brith from dantooine. thrantas are a close second, but mostly because they remind him of the brith.

silanu loves flowy clothing, both robes and casual wear. makes them look like they don't have a form at all which is great for androgyny :D. Also very dramatique when their long cardigan billows out from behind them as they walk.

the Dvuhmi siblings used to make pillowforts in their shared bedroom and sleep in a cuddlepile there when one of them was upset. They stopped when ry disappeared.

Eebie's thought to be a runt because while he grows normally for a while from a baby hatchling into the in-game mini pet size keet, his growth is stunted for a bit so he ends up being a shoulder bird with nashka for a little bit up until her late teens when he suddenly has a massive growth spurt and can barely fit through the doorway. He's at least at the size ce'nashka can ride by that point.

If Ry laughs hard enough he snorts and immediately gets embarrassed and self conscious because he "sounds like a grophet" and he got shamed by some of the kids in his hometown/village on Dantooine for it, so he tries VERY hard not to laugh too much.

Pannatt had a short relationship with Leeha Narezz. maybe even part of a polyship with Jomar, though she's a lesbian so it would only be with Leeha. She also pined a lot for Kira. And they're both knights in my canon, bc the Padawan thing is silly.

Turaa and Elara go cheer eachother on when they go to conventions to deliver talks on engineering and medicine respectively.

Ry has two missing fingernails/claws on his non dominant hand, his right. It was a punishment for not throwing the fight to one of the cage beasts. The progress on the second finger was botched because he managed to overcome the force restraints and push the person doing it into the wall. They stopped after that and only put him on more sedatives while out of the ring. He's still got like, phantom pain from them even though eventually he gets an inconspicuous cybernetic replacement for the joints that were ruined in question.

He's also got neural implants to help with the aftermath of being shocked a lot being hard on his nervous system. Those get overloaded when Valkorion possessed him and he has to get pretty extensive implants or else his arms shake too much to do anything with them.

Ce'nashka learnt to crochet from Jaesa from her old days making lace as a handmaid to Giselle Organa!

(she also has a baby crush on her.)

(ce'nashka idolises vette too.)

teffhan is a neurotic little kid and is anxious about a lot of stuff, so he needs a lot of reassuring (and hugs). if his dads aren't around or able to give him hugs at the time, ce'nashka holds his hand.

On that note, while he takes a while to warm up to people, if baby teffhan likes you he will Not Let Go and possibly fall asleep on you. Jaesa and Vette had this happen to them a lot.

teffhan and ce'nashka held eachother in their sleep as babies and into toddlerhood.

Sometimes if Ry falls asleep cuddling the twins while Theron's still up, he likes to take a holo with his implants of them and rewatch it later when he's away.

Ry gets a dad tum because he can't maintain that body type with two kids. also because it's cute.

An oldie - Ce'nashka used to be very grabby as a baby so Ry had to nearly always keep his hair tied up, and later when she's got a bit more motor control he lets her practice braiding it and leaves her handiwork in, even on semi-official business and holocalls bc he's got No Embarrassment whatsoever bc he's too proud of Nashka to care.

She tells Theron to grow his out so she can braid his too, but then she reconsiders when he shows her a picture with his teen mullet. "I don't like it." Theron was crushed.

Jakarro and C2-D4 have sometimes babysat the twins (under vigilance of someone else)

Teffhan first met Teff'ith as a baby and though initially she didn't know how to hold a baby at all when Theron asked if she'd like to hold him, she grew to have a soft spot for the kid named after her.

Mezkai sketches candids of the crew while they're doing things, and they know he's there, they don't mind.

He's probably done loads of akaavi while she's training. Big emphasis on her back and arm muscles lmfao. Maybe even a couple of coloured in portraits of her from memory.

Kai had a Talk with Corso about when he was presenting femininely wrt the whole chivalry thing. It was weird and a little uncomfortable at first but ultimately they got closer as friends.

at some point silanu and felix adopt a little non force sensitive sith pureblood who'd been orphaned during the kotfe timeskip.

Mezkai and Silanu have a living parent, a human sith dad (both their parents were slaves but the dad was force sensitive so he was shipped off to train before they got to know him enough to remember him). He only knew them both as boys and different names, so he doesn't know they're alive or that the Barsen'thor or the illustrious Republic privateer that keep interfering with Imperial operations are his children until he finds himself in a confrontation with both of them seeing how alike they look like their late mother and him.

Kai was nearly made into a /full/ Child of the Emperor, the Emperor's Hand originally thought Kai would be the strong force sensitive one because Silanu was a late bloomer and they sensed nothing from Sil at the time. They clearly fucked up on that count. But that does mean at one point Sil has to fight Kai and snap him out of it.

Penndi's plants and constructs are sentient, and she can tap into them to increase the range of her senses, as she's a Sith alchemist specialising in phytokinesis, botany and necromancy. She likes to call herself a necrobotanist.

Silanu and Kai don't remember much of when they were kids on Ziost, they were put on a transport at four to neutral space by their mother and a Green Jedi, probably one of Pannatt's dads, intercepted the carrier, taking them to Corellia.

turaa's been shortlisted for the bao-dur science prize twice (dang oggurobb) :D

sil and ry would've been really good childhood friends had they met when they were younger because people were scared of their powers and both autie with not very good people skills. probably pannatt too? they're all good friends as adults by the end of kotfe though! they originally form a mini coalition to take down Malgus on Ilum with the rest of my ocs, and then that comes to include the SoR gang and eventually that becomes the alliance.

(slightly unrealistic but hillarious) Vette comes to learn Ry and Theron don't know what a dad joke is, or at least why they're so terrible (Ry has three lesbian mothers, Theron was raised by master zho) when they tell Vette they're going to be dads. And she's fucking astounded.
