Their Jedi Exile from KOTOR 2, Qatya (who is super god damn cute btw)

[azems-familiar]

...........i may or may not be writing kotor/totj fic again tonight,

“Must we exile even her?” Vash asks softly, as the silence stretches and the sun begins to dip towards the horizon. “If she’s penitent-”

“She is the worst offender of them all!” Vrook snaps back, gesturing with one hand. “Among the first to follow Revan to war, according to all reports one of the creators of this planet-destroyer and the one to give the order - what does penitence absolve her of?”

From the other side of the room, Kavar says, “She’s also the only one who came back.” There’s something exhausted and dust-dry in the words, and Nomi slants a look at the other master, younger than her by a little less than a decade, but old enough to recall Ossus.

There are dark circles under his eyes and an unhealthy pallor to his skin that speaks of little sleep and poor meditation, and his aura is locked down more tightly than Nomi can ever recall sensing it during a meeting - as if he’s preparing himself to take on a shadow’s mission once more. She…suspects she knows why, in truth. Not only is Knight- former Knight Petheir his padawan, but he had been the one to bring the infant Revan to the Temple all those years ago, and…there is a set of battered, blackened dog tags around his neck, resting over top his tabard. She hasn’t asked who he knew in the Republic military well enough to be known as their next of kin; the man has never been in contact with his blood family. But grief is a heavy companion, especially when fresh, and the Mandalorian Wars have brought it marching back to their sides once more.

Gaze lingering on the dog tags, Nomi finds herself thinking of Yavin IV, Ulic’s and Exar’s bodies lying across from each other on a temple’s stone floor, lightsabers between them. She thinks of Cay bleeding into the Ossan sand, the light of ten dying stars overhead, crying for his brother, and how it had been ground-shattering fury that drove her in that moment, a scream trapped in her chest and echoing into the Force instead of the air, binding Ulic within his own skin. Something in her had shattered, there on Ossus, something she has never been able to reclaim. Cay had been lost, and then dead; Ulic had cried, and then gone numb entirely, and it hadn’t been her fault but the guilt festers anyway. A deep, secret poison, one she has never let show.

Ulic Qel-Droma chose to redeem himself, even cut off from the Force, she’d told the High Council, as they’d gathered on Coruscant to try to rebuild their fragmented order. He engaged Exar Kun in combat, without support from the Order, and struck him down, though he was killed while doing so. Cay - her voice had hitched on his name - wanted nothing more than for his brother to return to us, and while Ulic’s actions are certainly far too reprehensible to be pardoned, even in death, I’d like to request his change of heart be noted in the Archives. Let him be known as dying seeking atonement, even if only to the Jedi with the clearance to look.

(She doesn’t know what Ulic would have wanted. She never has. He didn’t say a word to her after giving her Exar Kun, or to anyone else, as far as she knows. But when they burned his body, on the Yavin moon, she gave him and Exar a shared pyre. It had seemed…the least she could do for a man she had loved, who had never loved her.)

…to say she understands the weight on Kavar’s shoulders would be an understatement.

“Please,” she says tiredly. “The time to debate this was three days ago, when the votes were cast - and as I recall, we had a debate lengthy enough to rival the Senate. I agree the early vote was…distasteful-” not exactly the word she’d like to use, but as the High Council’s leader she has to be professional- “but we had no way of knowing Knight Petheir would even come back. Revan’s influence is as strong as Exar’s and Ulic’s was.”

Their youngest and newest Councilor, Atris, shifts in her chair. She had recused herself from the vote on young Qatya, stating that their past romantic relationship made her biased, but considering her response to the verdict Nomi wonders if that bias had inclined Atris towards exile, rather than away. Still, the echani woman has looked uncomfortable as the hour for Qatya’s trial draws near.

(The masters were right, Cay, she’d said, tugging him back towards the palace window. Cinnagar buzzes around them, an insect hive roused to furious action. If they don’t leave now, they never will. Ulic must make his own choices, and suffer his own consequences. We’re leaving him here.)

The same tragedies, again and again. How many more times must this repeat? How much more pain, writ galactically in blood, echoing the recent past?

Nomi presses her lips together and slides one hand from her temple to her forehead. Wonderful.

“And I did,” snaps Kavar, every muscle in his body tensing - there’s a sharp light in his eyes that hasn’t been present before, and his aura flares with heat before he hides it once more. “I didn’t vote when you decided to exile my padawan to keep her from coming back. I let this farce of a trial stand. I’m here, against my better judgement. But don’t think that means I agree with your verdict. The least you could have done was look her in the fucking eyes before you made your decision.” - Qatya Petheir returns to the Temple for a trial that everyone knows the outcome of. Kavar makes a choice.

Qatya Petheir

(art by foxyartchive)

Qatya Petheir was Master Kavar's padawan prior to the Mandalorian Wars. a Coruscanti native and strong in the Force - though never as strong as Revan - Qatya was gifted with a mind for strategy and a unique ability to form minor Force bonds with the people she spent time with, as well as the ability to sever a person's Force connection. she was very close with her master as well as with Atris (the person who gave Qatya the flower pin she wore in her hair for most of her life), and she struggled with the realization that neither of them were going to go to war with the Republic when the Mandalorians finally properly invaded; Atris because the Council had released an official stance, Kavar because the rest of the Council had voted not to until they understood what was driving the Mandalorians, and he understood the danger. Qatya chose to follow her friends to war anyway, and by very early on in the war she'd settled into a position as Revan's third-in-command, the sapien face to the mask's heroism and rapidly-growing legend.

by the time she gave the order to activate the Mass Shadow Generator at Malachor V, Qatya had fallen far from the bright young Jedi she once was - but faced with all the pain and death and darkness of a planet's utter destruction, she severed her own Force connection rather than let it bring her crashing the rest of the way down into the dark side. she managed to escape the death of the planet, despite the gash across her face she sustained when the facility she and Bao-Dur were in crashed down around her, and she was the only one of the Revanchists to report back to the Jedi Council to stand trial for her actions. the Council chose to exile her, and she spent the next ten years wandering the Outer Rim, hiding and keeping her head down and never looking back. though she maintained she was as far from a Jedi as possible for someone who wasn't Sith, she was never quite able to stifle her kindness, and it left a trail that made it easy for the Republic to track her down when a new breed of Sith began attacking their borders and killing Jedi at a frightening rate, including killing everything on the miraluka world of Katarr.

Qatya resented being brought back into galactic affairs, briefly, but the events on Peragus - an entire station of miners killed just to get at her - and her interactions on Telos, especially meeting Bao-Dur again, reminded her of the duty she'd had when she was younger, and though she'd only ever spent a few months as a knight before the Wars began and she went off to fight in them, Qatya put everything she could into becoming the kind of Jedi the Code and her padawanship had taught her to be, rather than the one she'd seen emulated too often by those in power. she stopped Sion, Nihilus, and Kreia, saved Telos, and brought Atris back to herself, and after everything, she returned to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and established herself as Grand Master of the Order, rebuilding it from the ground up.

she lived a long life, trained several padawans and had a couple children with Atris, and did not get fridged by Drew Karpyshyn on Dromund Kaas. there's a rumor that she left behind a Force ghost, but no one can quite report ever meeting it.

Character Masterlist

so this is an updated version of my last oc masterlist post; it's going to be a work in progress with links being updated as i create bios and whatnot. the end goal is it's going to have all three of my swtor canons and my kotor canon listed here, each character will have a small blurb, and i'll link a bio about each character that has images and a little more in depth description of them and their plot!

under a readmore because it's going to be long.

EDIT: decided to add my mass effect and dragon age blorbos as well, though the dragon age ones are going to be a massive WIP until i finish some playthroughs.

SWTOR/KOTOR

how does a man change the universe?

(kotor fics, solo, connects to swtor canon "like a moth to you, sunlight")

Revan Adarii: a mostly-light-side, incredibly powerful young Jedi with an unprecedented gift for psychometry and a skill with strategy and tactics not often seen, Revan drags herself back to a difficult and painful redemption after falling hard during the Mandalorian Wars and briefly having her memories stripped from her.

Qatya Petheir: young and barely knighted at the start of the Mandalorian Wars, Qatya's gift for strategy and her tireless determination and commitment vaulted her into the position of Revan's third-in-command. after ten years of exile, punishment for activating the Mass Shadow Generator, she returned to the galaxy at large to defeat another Sith threat, finally settling in and rebuilding the Jedi Order as its Grand Master.

a few final notes: start a war follows the swtor game plots fairly closely in a lot of ways. there's a lot of minor canon divergences, and some characters play different roles than they do in canon, as well as the occasional swapping around of an expansion in the timeline, but it's fairly canon-accurate.

sunlight is fairly canon-compliant through the early expansions and the Zakuul arcs, in terms of broad arcs, but from onslaught and on is heavily canon-divergent, and post-class stories it has quire a few moderate canon divergences.

god-child's canon starts out with an entirely different worldstate in which the Republic fully didn't exist in the majority of the galaxy for a solid fifty years around the kotor era, and that echoes forward into swtor in multiple ways. the biggest story arcs - the class stories, zakuul - remain the same, but everything else is heavily canon divergent, although most of the canon expansions exist in some form or another.

MASS EFFECT

solo mass effect content

Lyrida Shepard: a fully paragon colonist/sole survivor who romances Kaidan, brokers peace between the geth and the quarians, and destroys the Reapers without losing the geth. she survives and builds a family on the Citadel.

unnamed verse shared with @ipreferfiction

Vythral'a Lavellan: First of her clan before she was sent to spy on the conclave, Vythral'a is a very unwilling Herald and a slightly-more-willing Inquisitor, determined to defeat Corypheus and protect her clan. very much loves her people and her culture and would do anything for them. her curiosity and love of unique magic endeared her to Solas, and she falls into a romance with him.

[azems-familiar]

For Qatya: what was the most difficult part of rebuilding the Order?

"If I say everything, will you accuse me of looking for an easy out?" Qatya asks, with a laugh. The amused smile settles into something more serious, and she leans back in her seat. "I think the easiest part of rebuilding - I know that's not what you asked, but it's the easiest thing to quantify immediately - was stepping up and taking the position. Despite my status as an exile, I had Atris backing me, and circumstances meant that even most of the masters remaining on Coruscant supported me. I didn't actually reach for a Council position, much less becoming Grand Master, right away; people just started calling me Grand Master, and no one disagreed, and eventually it was made official."

She sighs and takes a sip of caf from the well-loved mug on her desk, which was apparently a gift from her former master, the late Master Kavar, back when she was a padawan. "The first hard thing was just walking back into the High Council chambers. Actually, no, that's a lie - it was setting foot on Coruscant itself. I hadn't been back since the trial after the end of the Mandalorian Wars, and coming back here, and to the Temple, left me with a little bit of a hard time grounding myself in the right time." It's a reference to the PTSD she's dealt with ever since the end of the Mandalorian Wars, which often manifests itself in flashbacks.

"Beyond that, one of the more difficult issues we had to overcome was the fact that the Republic and the people of the galaxy had lost trust in the Jedi Order. The Jedi Civil War did a lot of damage, and very little of it had been properly repaired when the Purge happened. Convincing the greater galaxy that the Order could and would help them, that they were right to place their trust in us again. That the Order would not abandon them again. Oh, the logistical issues were rough, and building our numbers back up took a long time, and as always the Republic Senate wanted too much from us, but those are the problems I expected to have to deal with when I took on this responsibility. I hadn't realized that I would also have to be the one rebuilding the Order's trustworthiness - a task that is, to me, far more delicate and important than the logistics of training padawans when we had barely any knights and repairing and reestablishing contact with the enclaves." She pauses, and then laughs again. "I suppose that's why I'm the Grand Master, and not the Master of the Order."

Oh the inspiration struck...

(I hope I did her justice!)

WIP Whenever

i was tagged by @sleepswithvillains, thank you lovely for the tag!! i don't have a particularly good section of my current chapter of my Sith Years kotor fic ready (i need to work on that again, but i've just been stuck on it... oops), and while the HP AU chapter is coming along it's getting close to done and i don't want to spoil things, so.... have a snippet of kotor 2 things i was writing after playing through the game again!

“Hello, general.” The voice is soft, lightly accented, and Qatya groans and rolls onto her side, keeping her eyes closed against the pounding in her head, like something has it in a vice grip and is trying to split it in half. Grass tickles her cheek and the hand on her shoulder is a familiar weight, steady and solid. “You need to get up.”

Get up, general, we have to get out of here- “Lieutenant?” she coughs out, and she’s forcing her eyes open against the glare of the sun and the pain before she can think about it. The smell of smoke, and green grass around her, and Lieutenant Bao-dur kneeling next to her to pull her to her feet, and a bolt of adrenaline snaps lightning-hot down her spine and she lurches to her feet, sucking in a sharp breath (rocks falling around her and Bao-dur’s arm keeping her upright and wedged so tightly under her shoulder it keeps him standing, listing into each other like drunks as they stumble onto the shuddering planet’s surface, grass still green beneath her feet except for where their blood stains it, and she cannot breathe through the screaming, aching, endless pain in her skull as a world tears itself to pieces around her on her orders-), and for a moment all she can see is plains fracturing into planetoids and green turning sickly black and ash choking the air from thousands of ships plummeting like falling stars through the sky. “Where-”

“Easy,” he says, soothingly, and Qatya blinks and blinks again and the headache-blur in her eyes resolves itself into a wrecked shuttle and a winding gulch through a set of cliffsides, and Citadel Station a just-visible shadow on the horizon. “At ease, general, you’re all clear.”

Right. This is Telos, and there’s a collapsible double-bladed vibrosword strapped to her hip instead of a lightsaber, and the Force is no more than a whisper stretching out to her across the bond between her and Kreia, and the scar across her face is ten years healed instead of fresh and bloody and raw. All the same, for a moment she can taste the dust of Malachor V on her lips (like an echo, or a promise - and she’s known for a decade she would make all her choices the same if she made them again, but Force, that doesn’t mean she isn’t terrified that going back to war again won’t lead her back to the end of it all once more), and the shuttle’s whining engines sound all-too-much like broken screams in her ears, enough to make her flinch if she lets herself. (She doesn’t.)

“I suppose I don’t have to ask if you remember me,” Bao-dur says, and Qatya tears her eyes away from the planet around them to focus on his face, the familiar warm half-smile that twists the lines of his tattoos, tan skin more weathered than she recalls and horns gone a little sharper, a little less neat and military-precise. “It’s good to see you again.”

It’s been a decade since she saw the iridonian zabrak last; he’d still been in the Vengeance’s medbay when she took a shuttle down to Coruscant for the last time, and she’d trashed her military comm and gotten a new one, keeping only her old personal Jedi frequency attached to a commlink left at the bottom of her tote bag, in case of emergencies. (The only time it’d ever gone off had been something like a year, a year and some months after her exile, a desperate message sent out to the entire Order recalling them to their enclaves and the Temple itself in preparation to fight a war none of them had believed they’d need to face. She’d watched the transmission once, twice, a third time, eyes flickering nearly-hungrily over the familiar faces of the High Council - Kavar stiff and serious and quietly burning, Atris stern and uncompromising but with the faintest touch of uncertainty around her eyes - and then she’d deleted it and shoved the comm away, and packed her bags and made for the deepest part of the Outer Rim, where no one, not even the Jedi, not even Revan, could ever find her.) She can’t deny that it is good to hear his voice after so long, even if the sameness of it and the title send her spinning back into the war she’s been trying so hard to escape - he’d been one of the few she’d regretted not staying in contact with, after she left.

“Likewise,” she says, and when she smiles at him, it’s sincere.

[azems-familiar]

For the ask game - 5 for your Revan, and 11 for your Exile.

Revan - 5. handwritten or typed?

typed, definitely. she learned how to hand write in the Temple as a child and a padawan, of course, but that's not exactly that useful of a skill during a war, and she let it fall to the side during all the fighting. she could probably pick it back up again easily enough, but she doesn't have the patience for sitting around a lot, so her handwriting is extremely messy and hard to read

Qatya - 11. city or countryside?

both, honestly? she grew up on Coruscant, so the city has always been a home and a comfort for her, but she loves the beauty of the countryside. it's not something she spends much time thinking about, because it's easier to disappear into the chaos of big cities, and for quite a while disappearing is all she wants to do. (the exception to "countryside" is jungle, which will never not be Dxun in her head, all the blood and death three)

[azems-familiar]

i don't think i can explain how aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i am over this, like. this is Qatya after Malachor but before kotor 2 itself and i am SCREAMING at how perfectly the vibes were captured, like. look at her! the green being the same shade as Malachor and the scar across her face and the way she's just sort of. clinging to herself-

not to mention the KREIA QUOTES in the background like, holy shit, the ones you used are perfect and i'm just very aaaaa in general

I drew @revanchxst​​‘s Jedi Exile Qatya Petheir, because I had art block and I needed to power through it. ID under readmore.

Keep reading

[azems-familiar]

for the ask thing! I can't pick just one so 1 for beloved Vyl, 3 for girlboss Revan and 8 for my girl Qatya ✨

Vyl - 1. homemade food or take out?

homemade, every time. something something making food for people is a labor of love and shows kindness. he's not a naturally good cook, and it's not like anyone taught him anything about it when he was a slave or on Korriban, but he spends hours in hyperspace on the holonet looking up cooking videos and teaching himself.

Revan - 3. travel back in time or travel to the future?

hmmmm honestly this depends on what era of Revan we're looking at? mando wars and Sith years Revan would travel to the future to see if she won, if everything worked out, if she really did save the galaxy; post-kotor Revan would do neither, but if she had to choose it'd be the past, to stop herself from going after the Star Forge. SoR era Revan is too focused on killing Vitiate, but i think she'd travel to the past if only to kill him quicker with her knowledge of how the future turned out the first time. and Revan during kotfe/kotet/onward - the swtor expansions after the confrontation on Yavin - would want to travel back to the past, to the few years after kotor but before she and Alek went after Vitiate again, just to have a little more time with the people she loves, who are now all ghosts. man that's depressing isn't it!

Qatya - 8. happy endings or cliffhangers?

this is another one that changes over time. before the war, cliffhangers for sure - she liked the suspense, the intrigue. she was a young teenager, and then a young adult, and she liked the drama of it. then she went to war. then she spent three years breaking herself to pieces for a chance at victory, only to be completely shattered by that victory when it came, and after that- happy endings, absolutely. she wanted the characters, at least, to get everything she didn't, to get the things she's half-convinced aren't real in this galaxy. over a decade later, when she and Atris and her crew are rebuilding the Jedi, she may know that happy endings are possible, even for her, but she still prefers them. she's had her fill of fear and uncertainty.
