14, 23, & 27 for Vilkas for the swtor oc asks?

TY so much for the ask! The questions are from here would love some more!

14. Who is/are their favorite companion(s)?

For the main story its vector hands down. 

Kofte/Kotet onwards it’s theron, he likes going out with his boyfriend/husband.

23. Do they like their role in their current situation? ei: if they are a Sith do they like being in the Sith order?

He hates it. He never wanted to be an intelligence agent. Prior to certain events in his life he was going to be in the diplomatic core. The moment he has the chance he becomes a double agent which in his story actually happens shortly before Hutta.

27. Do they have any regrets?

He has quite a few. The first major one comes to mind is not defecting to the republic sooner. It was actually extremely difficult post iokath to work against his husbands (Ligastar & Theron). His time with the alliance made him realize just how much he actually hated the empire. He officially defects during Ruhnck as he was torrid with the empire.

4 for corrain, and 11 and 13 for kalvonut!

The Jedi beans!!

4. Do they have nicknames for other characters (NPC or OC), & if so, what are they? (Corrain)

Corrain has a couple! He often calls Kalvonut "Kal" or "Kalvo," and after meeting my smuggler he tends to call them "Kess" rather than Kessin. And in return, both of these OCs call him "Cor" instead of Corrain, so they all have nicknames.

Later on, after the KOTXX fiasco and Vaylin's eventual surrender to him and their slow steps into trying to act like siblings, he starts calling her "Vay." Arcann ends up following suit on this one - and as Vaylin recovers from the years of Valkorion's bullshit she finds that she much prefers this nickname over her actual name.

Then, finally, Corrain will sometimes call Lana "my lord" if that counts as a nickname. Same with Theron and calling him "Agent." But it's usually only when he's being a cheeky little shit, because using either of those 'nicknames' usually gets him pinned to a wall and kissed aggressively (which is entirely why he does it, lmao).

(He also calls his partners soft names. Like "love," "dear," and "sweetheart." But he only uses them in private)

11. What's something they'd really like as a companion gift that isn't available as one in-game? (Kalvonut)

Kalvonut would absolutely love to get his hands on anything Revanite, or anything connected to his Sith heritage without being, y'know, saturated in Dark Side Energy. He'd also be really touched by gifts of facial jewelry with traditional meanings, because he doesn't have much in the way of cultural connections he can have without the Republic side-eyeing him hard, but the jewelry gets a pass.

He'd also really enjoy any romance novels available. Kalvonut is aroace, sure, but he LOVES sappy, dramatic dollar-store - 'scuse me, credit-store - soap opera style romance holonovels. He'd get really excited if you ever gave him one.

13. If there a Commemorative Statue were released of them, what pose would they be in? (Kalvonut)

Oh, easy! He'd be sitting cross-legged on the ground, in his usually long robes, with an open holocron held in front of him between both hands.

He's a scholar, and an avid lover of books and history and research, but he's also very meditative and calm, and this pose would capture that well, I think.

Thank you for the ask, friend!!! This was fun! <3

NPC Sunday. NPCunday? (we're no longer Sunday but that's alright)

I'll do this for Maverik'a! Thank you for the tag! @cinlat

What kind of NPC would your character be? Where could you find them?

Morally grey Jedi with authority, helping the MC in her own special way. I kinda imagine this as an AU where she never became the main character, she'd probably be on her own after the KOTFE stuff. You could find her anywhere, but probably more near Jedi interest zones.

Merchant - what would they sell?

Probably lightsabers, a few Jedi armors and at the very end a speeder 👀 as a treat lol

Quest Giver - what's the quest? One off or chain? The reward?

I could see her having a similar role to Satele Shan, like a Jedi with authority giving insight on the MCs missions. Even temporarily becoming a companion to help out. The reward is either a lightsaber or a special companion's gift

Companion - How do you unlock them? Do they have a specific companion quest line?

Honestly it would be like Jolee Bindo in KOTOR (or Senya now that I come to think about it), you randomly come across her, not thinking much of her but then you discover she's actually one of strongest force users in history. She'd probably want to join you cuz she's been in a hiatus and wants to help out again.

Rrrrrrromanceable? 😘😍💘💌⚘️🥀 What's the reward?

There would be like two [Flirt] options but she wouldn't be romanceable, she'd mostly ignore you or laugh at your attempts to seduce her. Kinda like trying to flirt with Senya, she's more mature than you, had more experience than you and finds it cute you think you've got what it takes to date her lol.

Regular NPC - what's their dialog?

oops forgot to tag (no pressure) : @aeskanera @fernfrond-inks @reigrace-keyboardjam @nekorinnie

[lanabenikosdoormat]

in honour of pride month,, do you have any sexuality headcanons for some of the swtor companions?? god i have companion brainrot

Semi /hj but I have specific hcs too,

For example:

- darth vowrawn is everyone’s gay uncle

- agender revan

- hunter canon gay evil trans masc (we knew this alr)

- VAYLIN IS A LESBIAN REAL!!!!

[ainyan]

do your muses get along with each other?

Kal'istae and Ciprys do, whenever they share an AU. Maybe Kali doesn't quite get Ciprys's... predilections. And maybe Ciprys thinks Kali's just a little too sweet. But they both know it would be boring if everyone was the same.

Kal'istae and Shiala haven't yet interacted, but I have a feeling when they do, they'll both be incredibly wary of each other. Kali's married to Thancred, so she can't scruple at Shiala's choice of profession - but she can question the woman's morals, and would. Shiala, on the other hand, would be wary of Kal'istae's reputation, especially regarding Ishgard and Garlemald, and she'd be doubly-wary of the woman who killed her former master.

They'd probably agree to be civil for Kabniel's sake, since Shiala's relationship to Iskra means she'll probably be popping up now and again just to keep an eye on her protege and protege's family. Shiala has no desire to draw the ire of the Warrior of Light, and Kal'istae has no desire to earn the distrust of Emet-Selch's personal assassin.

And Miurani'kal'istae wouldn't trust the lot of them, though she'd probably make friends more easily with Shiala, being in the same business, than with Kal'istae, whom she would view as far too Jedi-like for comfort. (Though she would absolutely approve of her choice of husband, seeing how alike Theron and Thancred are)

Thank you for the ask!

Multi-Muse Asks for the asking!

“i hate how you put yourself in situations like these.”

"I hate how you put yourself in situations like these."

Eight crushed his cheek into the palm of his hand further at the sound of Ain'res' breaking voice, making a point not to turn around as the Chiss tended to his wounds.

"...I couldn't leave you alone." He answered, voice just above a whisper.

The other agent's own expression remained sharp with professionalism-- but Eight could sense the rawness of his emotions without even looking at him. For all his purposeful gentleness, Ain'res' frustrations betrayed him, his fingernails digging so tightly into the kolto-soaked rag that it bubbled with foam beneath his cuticles.

The sting of it against his open skin did little to relieve either of them. Still, dutiful as ever, Ain'res scrubbed at his scars. The repetition was a calming tactic, mere routine in a time of constant threat. It didn't stop tears from blooming at the edges of his crimson eyes.

Saying nothing, Eight reached past his shoulder to interlace his bandaged fingers with his.

Ain'res latched onto him. His forehead came to rest between Eight's shoulderblades, just beneath the shock collar that mirrored his own.

Eight pretended not to hear the sobs muffled into his skin, nor feel the wetness that trailed down his back. He held onto him tighter. Yet his gaze remained fixated on the wall in front of him, refusing to bear witness to his suffering.

This was his fault, after all.

It was his decision to follow him right into Rivix's trap. It had been his choice not to sacrifice Ain'res when he was a step away from landing the finishing blow, and it was now his responsibility to be with him beneath a new master's thumb.

Even if it made them both pawns. Even if he hated him for it.

From now on, he would have to be stronger for both of them.

🔞 Ulfran in something sexy. (might be from a tipsy Chandra)

I think maybe 'new robes' might be the sexiest you can expect from Ulfran? But I mean, I think there's something to be said for new robes, too, if he can be convinced to get out of his usual drab browns and greys.

[cryo-lily]

For the swtor ask game 3, 17, 26 & 34 for Issie!

Thank you Thank you for the ask! [ask prompt]

(Adding a read more because I got carried away with some of the answers)

3. Do they fit in with their faction or were they sort of born into it?

Honestly? Not really. Isadola was born to an exiled/former sith lord and rouge cipher agent, in neutral space. Only to be eventually found by the republic after the latter tried (and succeeded) to kill the former due to some old grudges. So Issie is almost literally a daughter of Imperials found by the republic and taken in by the republic by sheer chance they found her first after her mother's death. She survived and lived in the republic for decades but never really felt she belonged anywhere amongst the republic anywhere she went.

For Issie's Sith AU; it's not too much different for Issie (or Atteia as she took on a different name) where the Empire found her first instead of the republic. Different timelines, same result more or less. Except Issie tried to make herself belong even if it meant suppressing a lot of herself to do so and losing parts of herself along the way that took her a long time to regain when she eventually left the empire. Like mother like daughter on that account huh?

17. Do they have family? Silbings, parents, children?

Yes she does! Her mother is Tilera Colet Shir (said former sith lord), and Donovan Teiner (The former cipher agent gone rouge due to his own ambitions). That dynamic is a whole other rabbithole, but to sum it up, Donovan views Issie as a mistake that needs to rectified (for the mere crime of existing outside of his sphere of control). And Tilera viewed her as more or less a blessing after everything she's done, "A light born from my darkness" as she used to say in confidence to her droid R3-M1.

No siblings, maybe a few half-siblings that share their father's distaste of their half-sister (haven't too far in writing Issie's personal arc that starts when the Nul plot ends to name them or flesh them out more beyond their existence).

She does have (or eventually has) children, at least when this whole Nul plot ends anyway, with her wife Lana. They eventually have 3 biological daughters (little human/miraluka hybrids), and adopted another. First born was/is Kelsa Tilera (named after both of her grandmothers), then a month or two after she was born Issie & Lana ended up adopting an orphaned (force sensitive) chiss girl, Orla Cevrus, that had stowed away on an Alliance supply ship and ended up more or less on their doorstep to only then quickly steal their hearts. A few years after that they later rounded out their chaotic brood with Katarina Lina and Anira Candora

So their order, by age at least, would be Orla, then Kelsa, then Katarina, then Anira being the baby of her sisters. They were all given Lana's surname, as Issie didn't want them to bear the stigma that came with her surname.

26. Do they have any vices?

Oh boy does she! I mean... Yes she does. Issie is hot mess before she slowly starts to clean up her act. One that hasn't changed is she 100% drinks. She used to use some illicit substances and smoke, which she slowly began to give up as her personal life began to stabilize, which now is a once in a blue moon kinda thing.

Before when meditation wasn't really working for her she would turn to such in a heartbeat for some stress relief or to take her mind off of things. Now during her Alliance days, she's picked up some healthier habits, but when her old childhood friend turned smuggler throws some wild parties... well... she still likes to enjoy herself. That's not crime right?

34. Any major flaws?

To be honest? Only one comes to mind. Which is the attachments Issie develops with those closest to her. It's one of the reasons she started to drift away from the Jedi order the closer KOTFE rolled around, and she eventually left the order. Issie lost almost everything in her life before the Jedi found her, she doesn't want to repeat that past of hers again. She watched her family droid, R3-M1, fatally throwing his self at the pirates attacking their village to allow Tilera & her to escape, only to then watch her mother die at her father's hands (if by proxy) after rescuing and protecting her in their escape attempt from the same pirates a few days later.

Issie can't handle going through that loss again, especially not with those that have managed to get past the walls, masks, and facades she's built up over the years. So it's one of the reasons she throws herself into danger to even at least try to protect the ones she loves. Whether she's learned the right lessons from it all is still very much in the air before she gets closure on that chapter of her early life.

Heck it's probably one of the reasons Issie sustained the latest major injury that she has. Just before the Nul plot starts during a mission that went to hell, Issie, in probably an desperate act of protection or reflex, pushed Lana out of the way of an attack that led to Issie breaking her spine. Issie had for a couple of months lost the ability to walk before her new spinal implant was able to take, and recovery was tough as some of the very same of those closest to her had to help her out of her own head to begin to recover properly. Now she partially wears the new outfit she does to hide the spinal implant and back brace she wears.

She's still yet to confront the very issue that causes her to throw herself aimlessly in harms way for everyone close to her.

8 & 9 for dark ocs ask for oc(s) of your choice

Ty for the ask!

8) Would your OC consider themself evil?

Cain struggles with accepting that he is not evil even after healed following the events of Ziost. What happened on Ziost had only worsened his view of himself. Cain unfortunately was possessed by Vitiate despite resisting him for quite some time. He remembers everything he did while possessed. He believes he was only possessed due to the darkness in his heart. In truth he is far from evil and only starts to realize this during the five year gap between ziost and KOTFE

9) Would you consider your OC evil?

I have one truly evil oc and that is Tal’ien. I will admit I struggle with keeping an evil character consistently evil. Tal’ien carries the title of Darth Nox, is extremely loyal to the empire and is a boot licker to whomever is emperor/empress in order to gain more power. Some of the things he has done that I consider evil is killing his wife Adria upon realizing Vilkas was not his son. He has also attempted to kill Vilkas on several occasions due to him being a bastard in his mind. During the game's original story he was one of Baras’s and Thanaton’s allies. Despite being Chiss he views everyone beneath him as utterly useless whether they be force sensitive or not.

[selenescantina]

Trying to get some more questions into my inbox, so let's give this a shot! All I ask is that you specify the character you're asking. Send in a number!

[frauleiiin]

4 and 10 for Yuthuura from the love asks? <3

hihi thank you for the ask! <3 these are very interesting.

Ask

4. Does your OC consider themselves to be attractive? Do they put much effort into achieving this?

I have yet to see an ugly Twi'lek but she does perceive herself differently from reality. For a long time, she thought she could never be loved, that she'd always be seen as a lesser being.. A slave. And she thought that if she couldn't be loved, then she would be feared. Despite her undeniable beauty, her tattoos and scars definitely make her look intimidating. As for her own perception of her physique, she doesn't hate what she sees but doesn't love it either, she definitely doesn't stand infront of mirrors often. In terms of effort, she doesn't actively make herself "prettier" but she does dress herself well! She often prefers robes and dresses because she's kinda self-conscious about her legs (she's quite skinny). With time she does battle her insecurities and start seeing herself as the beautiful woman she is <3

10. Does your OC have a type? Have they ever been surprised by their feelings for someone who doesn't fit this?

Due to her past as a slave she built a lot of distrust for humans (men specifically), so for a while she was mainly attracted to aliens or Twi'leks. I guess she does have a thing for complicated men lol, she's complicated herself so she needs someone who's unapologetically flawed too. "Have they ever been surprised by their feelings for someone who doesn't fit this?" Yes, Mr. Nikos wins that prize LMAO. He does fit the complicated man category, however he does NOT fit into the alien one. She 100% never thought she'd be able to be loved, at all, but even less by a human. Falling in love with him was unexpected but after getting to know him better, she had no doubt he was the right person for her 🥹 (I'm like so normal about them)

Thank you, Pauletta! 💚💜 I can Totally see her wearing something like this to like a party or something 👀

two versions again, because I couldn't help myself

10. which muse is the most fun to write for?

It's a toss up between Kal'istae and Miurani'kal'istae. I absolutely love writing for them both, and mostly it's just a case of 'am I in a fantasy or science-fiction mood' when it comes to deciding which I'm going to work on.

Despite sharing a name, the two Kalis are actually very different, and so writing for one isn't like writing for the other. Kali-XIV is a generally happy, helpful girl who is accounted a big hero and works very much in the open. She is generous with her time and her affection, though she only lets a select few see beneath the cheerful exterior to see the doubts that lurk beneath.

Kali-SWTOR, on the other hand, is an imperial agent who prefers to work from the shadows, doesn't scruple to get her hands dirty, and whose only motivation is to ensure the survival of her people, whether that means the Chiss or her allies and companions. She actively works against the Empire as a double-agent for the Republic, but she's not terribly fond of them either. She has no doubt about her role or that she's done exactly what she's needed to in order to get things done.

They're both incredibly fun to write!

Thank you for the ask!
