Tagged by @a-master-procrastinator for an OC Tag Game <3

Tagging to play next (if you wanna!): @lavampira, @consulaaris, @astrifer-bound (oops just saw Lex was tagged by Pauletta, sorry for the double-tag!), @wilvarin-chan, @mimabeann, @vihola, and anyone else who sees this and wants to join in

Favorite OC Razimiri.

My first tech toon, my first Agent, my first blueberry, my in-game "main," and probably the real reason I love this dumb game so much.

More below the cut!

Newest OC Sunena “Sunny” Krasul and Rom’neln

And oh man they are very different from each other.

Oldest OC Ember.

Created waaaaaaaay back in beta, played a tiny bit and then abandoned. Created again when I made my new account after I lost access to my original account and then abandoned on Coruscant. Created again on a different server and actually leveled, then transferred to what ended up being my main server and actually played through all current content at the time, but still not played much, since I am a tech main but she’s a Force user.

Meanest OC Tulia Neperi.

God she is awful and I love her.

Softest OC Vyshtal Sekra.

She is so tired of everyone else being so mean, but she will get them to play nice if it is the last thing she does.

Most Aloof/Standoffish OC Ev'enai Kesh.

As a Pureblood Sith trying to heed the call of the Light and serve as a Jedi Knight, Ven is naturally very standoffish in an effort not to fall victim to what he is afraid are his "natural" dark emotions and avoiding connections so that he has fewer people to disappoint if he does come up short.

Dumbest (affectionate) OC Orcodaa Vadesh.

Love her to death, but this smuggler-adjacent Bounty Hunter sometimes acts dumber than a box of rocks. She has a decent head on her shoulders, but if @miss-spooky-eyes Indy wasn’t there she would lose said head, most likely

Smartest OC Eleison Kirnah.

My little Loremaster is smarter than me and I'm ok with that.

Horniest OC Nizuvhi Kenno.

I went stereotypical smuggler, so shoot me. (you can't even see Zuvi in the screencap, but it's one of my favorite shots of Zuvi being Zuvi, just letting Risha take literally all the heat with like 12 mobs that she thought she snuck past)

OC You’d Bang Chatelaine.

(I don't bang, but I enjoy her a lot aesthetically, so if I did.)

OC You’d Be Best Friends With Kestrel Fortuna

(with a close inner circle of friends consisting of: Chatelaine, Veld’arelith, Eleison, Vysh, because I can’t pick just one Best Friend)

Teething Problems (belated OC Kiss Week fic)

I know, believe me I know, that I couldn’t be later with this one ... but if you know me at all, you also know that I physically couldn’t write something for OC Kiss Week fic and not write about the murder wives, aka my BH Indirae (Indy) and November’s BH Orcodaa (Coda).

So I started thinking about kissing and this is what happened. I think it’s the shortest and silliest fic I’ve ever written, which is saying something on the latter front.

When a Togruta and a Cathar fell into bed together, there were always going to be problems.

Hope you like it @vespertine-legacy, and thank you for continuing to be so generous with Coda <3

Author Notes: Vaguely set when the murder wives are mere murder girlfriends/accomplices/partners-in-crime-with-benefits/it’s complicated. Cathar/Togruta biology headcanons vaguely taken from fanon. Coda belongs to @vespertine-legacy​ as aforementioned. 

Interspecies romance, or something within ninety degrees of romance, had been a part of Coda’s life since she was sixteen and realised how good humans smelled when they were nervous (a nervousness not unconnected to the fact she was sixteen, she realised in retrospect). And while her private fantasies about her partner-in-literal-crime had been free of fumbling and awkwardness, she’d been around enough to know that two women from such different species were not going to come together in instant, seamless harmony. Especially when Indy hadn’t been … around.

So she had expected there to be difficulties and surprises and oddities that had to be overcome with the aid of an open mind and a sense of humour, a prospect that seemed all the more daunting when you considered that they had one of each between them and both were Coda’s. But the biggest surprise was how swiftly things fell into place once Coda got Indy into bed (or rather, got herself into Indy’s bed, which was bigger, softer and didn’t have Mako sleeping three feet away). Coda found that she loved the sleek glide of Indy’s fur under her hand and the slight drag against her palm when she brushed it the wrong way, the contrast of hard muscle clothed in smooth silk and the hint of claws sheathed in soft velvet. When Indy’s smell changed with arousal, Coda breathed it in hungrily, and she delighted in eliciting all those involuntary sounds Indy got so embarrassed about. And even if all of that had been awful, it would still have been a more than acceptable trade for the texture of Indy’s tongue.

(Not to mention the body heat that Indy, with her faster metabolism, generated. Coda’s vague, shamefaced plans of sneaking back to her own bunk before the crew woke up hadn’t even lasted one night, her resistance to all the implications of awakening in Indy’s bed melting and evaporating amidst the sheer warmth of the body curled around hers.)

And Indy, for her part, didn’t seem the slightest bit repulsed by or hesitant about some of the aspects of Coda’s anatomy which had thrown previous lovers for an understandable loop. Quite the contrary.

No, what had been most surprising about finally becoming lovers was how natural it all seemed, at least while the actual lovering was going on.

Which is not to say that there weren’t teething problems.

Literally.

Because Togruta and Cathar had both evolved as apex predators, and that meant two mouths full of fangs. And while many millennia separated the two bounty hunters from the ancestors who had hunted to survive in a much more immediate way, Shili and Cathar had still left their marks on Coda and Indy. Which meant that they left marks on each other.

The peculiar reaction of Cathar to Togruta venom aside, a little enthusiastic nibbling was not an issue for either woman as long as Coda’s glands remained unexpressed. But when it came to kissing, two sets of fangs meant a certain amount of delicate manoeuvring was called for, a modicum of care and attention required.

Care and attention which Coda was not always, in the heat of the moment, capable of applying. Especially not once they discovered that one position that felt so good for both of them. Because Coda could be as careful as she liked, but when Indy braced herself with her palms flat on the wall and sank down on Coda and squeezed in just that particular way, Coda’s vision reliably went white around the edges and her instincts took over.  

Which, if Indy happened to be kissing her at that moment, could have painful results.

There were probably worse ways to be abruptly yanked back from the brink of an orgasm, but discovering you’d just involuntarily pierced your lover’s lip or tongue with your teeth was rapidly becoming Coda’s least favourite.

And late-night trips to the medbay in which she had to call upon her long-ago medic training were not her idea of basking in the afterglow.

Things got worse when their spare handheld dermal regenerator was cannibalised for parts by Blizz and their spare spare got lost on Voss, meaning that any crew member who had absentmindedly taken the regen unit back to their room to treat an abrasion was risking being woken up in the middle of the night by a frustrated, half-dressed Coda.

‘I think,’ Torian said diffidently one morning after watching Indy wince her way through a bowl of porridge, ‘the problem might be ... teeth.’

‘Because of you both being predatory species,’ Mako added. They were all in the cargo bay, which Indy had decided needed to be reorganised, since there was still stuff in there from the Mantis’ previous owners.

‘Really?’ Coda said sarcastically as she dragged a heavy crate away from the wall.

‘Maybe you could wear mouthguards,’ Mako suggested brightly. ‘Or file down your fangs?’ She blinked as both Indy and Coda turned to stare at her. ‘Maybe not.’

‘Why do you even have to kiss anyway?’ Gault demanded from where he was leaning against the wall next to the door. ‘That’s such a -’ he waved a hand dismissively - ‘human thing. On Devaron, mouths are for lying.’

‘Devaronians don’t kiss?’ Mako demanded incredulously.

‘Not other Devaronians, no. But sometimes I make allowances for the primitive habits of humans.’

‘Humans aren’t the only species who kiss,’ Torian objected, helping Mako lift another crate.

‘No, but they’re the worst offenders.’

‘Wait,’ Mako said, frowning. ‘Why do humans kiss? I never really thought about it.’

Indy forestalled the slicer as she reached for her datapad. ‘Cargo inventory first, HoloNet research hole later.’

‘I think it’s a reconciliation gesture,’ Torian suggested. ‘Like declaring peace after aggression.’

‘That’s such a Mandalorian perspective,’ Mako objected, rolling her eyes.

‘Humans kiss because they have such weak senses of smell that they can’t detect each other’s pheromones unless they’re squashed up against each other,’ Gault said scornfully. ‘Disgusting business, really.’

‘Oh, like you never kissed that hot Mirialan woman whose holo you keep under your pillow,’ Mako retorted.

‘The point is that you two don’t have that excuse,’ Gault said, pretending not to hear Mako and gesturing to Indy and Coda. ‘Which means you don’t have any excuse for waking me up in the middle of the night looking for the regen unit because you accidentally pierced your girlfriend’s tongue again, Coda.’

‘Gault,’ Indy said ominously.

The Devaronian held up both hands in a conciliatory gesture. ‘Sorry, champ, but it’s getting ridiculous. Torian agrees with me.’

‘Torian?’ Coda demanded, turning to him.

‘I -’ Torian floundered, his fair skin reddening under her scrutiny. ‘I don’t want to get involved.’

‘Smart decision,’ Indy said quietly.

‘No, let’s hear from everybody,’ Coda said, waving her hands. ‘What do Mandalorians do, anyway? Bump helmets? Blizz, we haven’t heard from you yet, don’t you want to tell us about Jawa kissing?’

There was a sudden silence. Blizz put down the tool he had been fussing with and drew himself up to his full height. ‘Coda-boss should not ask Blizz such things,’ he said stiffly. ‘Is for Jawa to know.’

Coda didn’t need the look Indy directed at her to step forward and drop to one knee in front of Blizz, bringing her eye level much closer to his. ‘I’m sorry, Blizz,’ she said gravely. ‘It was rude of me to ask you that. Please forgive me.’

Blizz patted her shoulder graciously. ‘It OK, Coda-boss. Blizz knows Coda-boss mean well. It not Coda-boss’s fault that no one taught Coda-boss to behave civilised.’

‘Thank you,’ Coda said meekly.

Indy cleared her throat. ‘Back to work.’

*

‘What do Jawas do?’ Coda asked Indy much later as she lounged on Indy’s bed, watching Indy get undressed.

‘I don’t know, and I don’t think we should ask Blizz any more.’

‘I’m just wondering.’ Coda shuffled to one side as Indy sat down next to her. ‘Do Cathar kiss, though? I mean, I know you kiss me, but on Ord Mantell, in your town, were kids sneaking away into dark corners to kiss, or what?’

‘I wasn’t.’

‘If you had been, though?’ Coda pressed.

Indy considered the question in her slow, thoughtful way. ‘We do kiss. But it’s not the main thing.’

‘What’s the main thing?’

‘Well, we do this.’ Indy dropped her head to Coda’s shoulder and stroked her cheek and the side of her jaw against Coda’s skin, then did it again, her warm furry face pressing against Coda hard enough that Coda had to brace just a little bit to keep her position.

Coda smiled, enjoying the feel of Indy’s fur against her bare skin. ‘What else do you do?’

Indy pulled back and considered. ‘A bit of this?’ She leaned in again and bit Coda, very, very gently, on the cheek, then trailed down, alternating nuzzles from her soft nose with the most delicate, deliberately restrained bites along her jaw. ‘And I might groom the fur on your ears, if you had it.’

‘Feel free to try anyway,’ Coda said a little breathlessly, shivering at Indy’s breath against her skin.

Indy made a little noise deep in her throat that Coda knew was the sound of temptation, but pulled away. ‘Why, what do Togruta do together?’

‘This, mainly.’ Coda took Indy’s hand and lifted it to her lek, guiding the Cathar’s fingers down the inner surface. ‘And you already know I like this.’

‘I do,’ Indy said, a faint growl rumbling from her chest as she watched Coda close her eyes briefly and shudder.

‘And I’d smell the back of your neck.’ Indy obediently bent her head, and Coda buried her nose in the nape of Indy’s neck. There wasn’t a scent gland there for Cathar like there was for Togruta, but it didn’t matter, because being this close to Indy’s skin, breathing in her fur, her smell … Coda reluctantly pulled away before it became overwhelming, touching the nape of Indy’s neck with one finger instead. ‘That’s where I’d bite you, if. You know. We were. Looking to mate like that.’

‘It always comes back to teeth with you,’ Indy said, but she was smiling.

‘With us,’ Coda corrected, and they kissed, just brushing their lips together, although even then Coda felt the light pressure of Indy’s incisors.

‘So if kissing isn’t a big thing for Cathar, and it’s not a big thing for Togruta,’ Coda said, stroking Indy’s soft cheek with one finger as the Cathar settled herself between Coda’s legs so they were face to face, ‘why do I always find myself kissing you?’

‘I don’t know.’ Indy shifted her weight to drape her legs over Coda’s thighs.

‘Maybe, with people from different species, kissing’s like Basic. The universal language,’ Coda mused. ‘You know, it’s like barter credits. Acceptable everywhere.’

‘Maybe. Or maybe you just like my tongue.’

‘I do like your tongue.’ Coda traced Indy’s lips with her thumb. ‘I’d like it intact.’

‘It’ll survive.’

‘I don’t want to hurt you,’ Coda persisted.

Indy considered her for a moment, her expression unreadable. ‘Don’t I hurt you when I scratch your back?’ She lightly touched Coda’s upper arm, where rings of fingertip-sized bruises were fading. ‘Or grip you too hard?’

‘I like it when you do that.’

‘Exactly.’ Indy leaned in to rest her forehead against Coda’s. ‘And I don’t mind bleeding a little.’

Coda smiled, sliding her hands down Indy’s back to her hips and pulling them against her own. ‘So we can keep kissing?’

‘As long as you keep your venom to yourself.’

Coda’s lips traced the two small puncture-shaped scars on Indy’s shoulder, relic of the bite that had started it all. ‘As long as you warn me before you do that … squeezing thing.’

Indy leaned in for a kiss, nipped lightly at Coda’s lower lip, surprising a laugh from her. ‘Where’s the fun in that?’

SWTOR Character Meme!

Tagged by @swtorpadawan

This looks interesting to try, to say the least!

Do you have more Imperial or Republic characters?

I have more Imperials, mostly because I'm trying to complete that half of my Legacy first, and I tend to delete characters I'm bored of...

What class do you play as the most?

Sith Inquisitor! I love the abilities they get, plus the class story is just very interesting to me.

What race do you play as most?

Nautolan, actually. Personally I think they're underrated and underrepresented in Star Wars, and I like making them.

How many have completed KOTFE/KOTET? How many have completed Secrets of the Enclave?

The answer to both of these is only one so far. My favorite Inquisitor, True Coda.

Who stayed loyal to their class romance?

None, as of yet, because I've only completed one run of the Inquisitor storyline and didn't pursue a class romance.

Who started a romance with Lana, Theron, or Koth?

My Inquisitor True Coda started a romance with Lana and I thought it was lovely!

Who is your oldest character?

I no longer have him on my profile, but I started with a Republic Trooper Cyborg named Cado Muraan.

Who is your newest?

My newest is actually a self insert! The Sith Juggernaut Human, Calvus Teccone.

Thanks for tagging me in this meme, it was a lot of fun!

I can't really think of anyone to tag, but feel free to fill this out yourself if you want to!

[empressofthesith]

I don't have a screenshot at the moment but I have this art one of my players drew for my Inquisitor, True Coda Kallig

RETURN OF THE 5TH!

It’s Sith Day!  Time for some serious Sith appreciation.  Celebrate by reblogging with your favorite Sith and embrace the Dark Side of the Force!

What Eras are your OCs a part of?

Most of my Star Wars OCs are from the Old Republic Era! You can check them out over here (deathmarkd is my star wars/swtor sideblog). The list is non-exhaustive, I have more SWTOR OCs but I need to rewrite their profiles. I have a TCW/Rebels OC too but I haven’t properly written down her profile for now, she’s a Chiss named Coda.

[imkerfuffled]

30 Day SWTOR OC Challenge Day 21: Coda

How do they change after their story? What is their “epilogue” like? Is it different from canon?

The Outlander: Are they the “Outlander” or do they have another part in the Alliance? Do they leave the Alliance or stay? Do they still consider themselves a member of the Sith or the Republic?

While Theron was spying on Manaan in the prologue to Shadow of Revan Fucks Up Again, Ker is approached by Kimarra aka Darth Nox about a certain ritual Kimarra has… ahem… discovered in her travels. (She would prefer not to disclose precisely how she discovered this ritual, and after much deliberation, Kerfaff decides she would prefer that as well.) The ritual is intended to locate the Emperor’s true form in order to track him down and kill him while he’s still vulnerable, which Kimarra knows about because she’s also recruited Cethric aka the Emperor’s Wrath, who would very much prefer not to be that.

To perform this ritual, Kimarra needs people who have had direct contact with the Emperor, which is, understandably, hard to come by, and the only people she can use without tipping him off are the former Children that Kerfaff dealt with, including Kerfaff’s brother, Kerfaff’s brother’s girlfriend, and Kerfaff’s brother’s former Emperor’s Wrath. (She would also prefer not to disclose how she knows this information. What kind of Dark Council member doesn’t have spies, after all?)

Her other option is to kidnap the Emperor’s Hand, with Cethric assures her is a Very Bad Idea. So, reluctantly, she turns to the Jedi.

Kerfaff considers the offer, goes back to the Council, considers the offer some more but this time with more people… and eventually they agree to it, with the understanding that, when Kimarra inevitably tries to take over the Empire just like the last Sith they accepted help from, they would Deal with her.

Then, while Kimarra’s looking for a way to kill the Emperor before they perform the first ritual, Revan Fucks Up Again, rendering all of that a moot point.

Then the Eternal Empire shows up, and suddenly revisiting that idea of an alliance doesn’t sound so bad. So when Marr figures out where Valkorion/Emperor proto-Palpatine is, he immediately calls Kimarra, and Kimarra calls Kerfaff and Candron and Cethric.

And then Candron dies in the initial attack, Kerfaff selflessly soldiers on, and Valkorion specifically singles out Cethric to kill even before Marr because of the whole traitorous Emperor’s Wrath thing. Or Cethric just isn’t there because he’s finally said “fuck this shit I’m out” to the Sith and moved to Alderaan. Idk yet, but Kerfaff and Kimarra are both the Outlanders.

Aaaaand, this ended up not actually being about Kerfaff per se. Ooops. Here’s more about my plans for her specifically.

Also, while I’m at it, I made a swtor blog! I’ll be transferring stuff over there, and posting the rest of this 30 day challenge directly to that blog

30-Day SWTOR OC Challenge -- Day 21

Day 21: Coda

How do they change after their story? What is their “epilogue” like? Is it different from canon?

The Outlander: Are they the “Outlander” or do they have another part in the Alliance? Do they leave the Alliance or stay? Do they still consider themselves a member of the Sith or the Republic?

I have no idea how to answer these things because I never have considered any part of the class stories as any sort of canon to Yuned'rar's personal story. Nothing that happened in those were anything that happened to him, thus, never affected him other than Galactic events.

He's not in the Alliance, certainly not the Outlander, he's not exactly defected from the Empire but he did step back from it. He doesn't consider himself Sith.

[cathuia]

(For the 30 Day SWTOR OC Challenge) Three days together again because I was lazy and missed it.

Does your OC get involved romantically or sexually with anybody? When do they first fall for them or get involved? If they fall in love, when does it happen? Does the relationship last?

Friendships (for the aromantic and otherwise): Do they have a serious platonic relationship with anyone? How does it begin? Does it last?

Ethrean gets involved with his pilot, Jevan. Since Ethrean can’t fly ships at all, after becoming Darth Imperius he appoints Jevan (who previously made a name for himself due to his outstanding performance in the war against the Republic) as his personal pilot, because he doesn’t want to keep the “canon” companions around. Due to their vastly different positions, and Ethreans general struggle with emotions, it takes quite a while for any of them to realize how much the other has grow on them over time. Also worth noting is that their relationship is all strictly private, Ethrean would never allow anyone to know about them, for a variety of reasons. Their relationship lasts up until the beginning of KotFE when Ethrean “dies” and vanishes. Jevan spends a lot of time trying to get over it, dedicates himself entirely to the war in an effort to strike back at the Eternal Empire and eventually rises in the ranks and stops being just a pilot and becomes an Admiral.

After he sees what Ethrean has become, how he’s fallen more to the Dark Side, he just doesn’t see the same person anymore and they never get back together. Though he’s very broken up about it, Ethrean understands that and respects Jevan’s choice, but somehow still thinks he can somehow convince him to come back to him over time. Also, Jevan reluctantly joins the Alliance, not for Ethrean but for the greater good of everyone.

Haven’t thought too much about it yet, but after they’ve won and Ethrean has taken the throne, Jevan probably leaves the Alliance and returns to the Empire again.

Also worth mentioning friendship wise, Ethreans best friend would be his (former) apprentice, Novki. :^) And his sister, Evelyn. (both @s0tc’s characters)

Day 20: Conclusion

How did they want their story to end? How did it actually end in the Class Quests (Chapter 1-3)? What about Shadows of Revan? What about KOTFE? KOTET?

It ended in way he wanted it so far. Class story ended unexpectedly, but very satisfactory for him. KotFE was his turning point, since it was everything he never wanted to happen bundled up together - losing his position in the Empire etc. He would have wished that he would have spent forever as Darth Imperius within the Empire, honestly. LOL. If that were the case, might have even tried to take over once the Emperor is gone….

The way KotET ended for him though was very good. Of course, he declared himself Emperor and finally he has a throne back, and a much fancier one than the Dark Council chair he lost.

Day 21: Coda

How do they change after their story? What is their “epilogue” like? Is it different from canon?

The Outlander: Are they the “Outlander” or do they have another part in the Alliance? Do they leave the Alliance or stay? Do they still consider themselves a member of the Sith or the Republic?

Haven’t thought much about how he’d change after the story, since the most important change already happened for him within his story, which was KotFE. Since he’s the Outlander, and declared himself Emperor, he’d just try to rule as he sees fit and try to rebuild Zakuul. Though he’s still not satisfied enough with the Eternal Throne. He still very much considers himself to be a Sith and for him, his place is within the Empire and still wishes to go back. He might rule an “Empire” now but it’s still the wrong one.

So, his next step would be to try and take over the Empire eventually. That’d very complicated though, since Acina would never just hand it over to him willingly, even if he’s on diplomatically good terms with her. Meaning, publicly values her as an ally and accepted her support in KotFE, but personally, he’s still very jealous and upset that she’s the Empress when that position should, in his opinion, obviously belong to him. He know’s that with the Eternal Fleet, he would have the strength to overwhelm the Empire’s forces, but he does not want to wage war against “his” people and be responsible for Imperial casualties. Also that would make him really, really, unpopular and he values his reputation and thinks he could only rule with the support of the public and would absolutely loathe to be seen as a tyrant.

But we’ll see what happens in that regard in the next expansion, I guess. :^)

Name: Orcodaa Vadesh Also Known As: Coda Pronouns: she/her [cisfemale] Race: Togruta Origin Story: Bounty Hunter Canon Compliance Level: canon non-compliant Combat Style/s: Mercenary, Scoundrel Combat Role/s: DPS, heal Alignment: LS-leaning Allegiance: Eternal Alliance Title/Job: Combat Medic Romantic Interest: Indirae (@miss-spooky-eyes) [orientation: pansexual]

Information: Fraternal twin sister to Cershaa Vadesh, Coda was always the more rebellious of the two. While Cershaa was willing to follow in their mother's footsteps and serve in the Republic Army, Coda had no such aspirations, and ran as fast as she could from their military schooling (she appreciated the combat medic training, but had no interest in war). She bounced between a few different crews (some legitimate operations, some smugglers, some shadier than others), and eventually found herself on Nar Shaddaa in the employ of the Eidolon. When things went south with the Eidolon, she fled on the first freighter she could board, which unfortunately only took her as far as Hutta, but fortunately landed her in the path of Great Hunt hopeful Indirae Jexqzk. Coda charmed her was onto Indy's crew (and bodychecked Skadge into the lava on Belsavis to keep her spot on the ship), eventually accidentally chemically married Indy well before the two realized they were falling in love, and made it her mission to cause as much mayhem as possible with her for the rest of their lives.

[empressofthesith]

True Coda Kallig, also known as Darth Nox, Master of the Dead, the Great Dragon, and Heir of Tulak Hord and Kallig, was born and raised as a slave on a labor crew in the Ancient Sith Empire. At the age of 22, she managed to free herself and torture her former master to death with her first use of Force Lightning. After being caught in the act, she was freed from slavery and made a Sith Inquisitor in the Sith Empire, eventually rising so far as to become a sitting member of the Dark Council, head of the Sphere of Ancient Knowledge. She defeated the reborn Revan, and witnessed the destruction of Ziost, before being ambushed in the Outer Rim by an upstart Sith and frozen in carbonite.

Her frozen form was passed around thfough the art community for centuries, before landing in the hands of Darth Sidious in 44 BBY. He freed her from carbonite, hoping to use her as a tool in his plans to overthrow his own master and raise his new Sith Empire. She managed to escape by faking her death, after learning that his plans for the Sith revolved around human supremacy and the enslavement of vast amounts of people. She resolved to work from the shadows to rebuild a better Empire, one unshackled by xenophobia and untainted by slavery.

She signed on with a pirate crew in the Outer Rim, taking control of it easily and building her own fleet out from there under the title of the Frozen. In 40 BBY, Kallig rediscovered Ashaa the Mother machine, and began to build an army of clones of herself, as well as a daughter, Serene Coda Kallig.

In 24 BBY, she captured a droid manufacturing plant on Geonosis in secret, building out her Frozen forces with reprogrammed Separatist battle droids and weapons. Soon afterwards, she went home to Korriban, finding the hidden location of her former fleet of Silencer dreadnaughts.

During the Jedi Purge, Kallig made her move, using a hyperspace beacon to drop out of hyperspace directly above the Jedi Temple and use her Frozen forces to repel the 501st Legion and Darth Vader, indebting the surviving Jedi to herself and taking their Temple as her new forward operating base on Coruscant for the Second Battle of Coruscant, in the start of what would become known as the Imperial War.

With the Jedi in her debt and a foothold on the capitol world of the brand new Galactic Empire, True Coda Kallig declared herself Empress of her own New Sith Empire and managed to force the Jedi into siding with her, both to supposedly save the now defunct Republic and exact vengeance on Darth Sidious, dragging them even further from the Light side.

During her occupation of the Jedi Temple, she encountered and bound to her will the Force Ghost of Jedi Master Qui Gon Jinn, whose council she often considered in making her decisions, and eventually came to rely on. She also commonly asked for and listened to advice from living Jedi and, eventually, Fett clones she managed to capture and free from the control of their chips.

30 Day SWTOR OC Challenge, Day 21: Coda

How do they change after their story? What is their “epilogue” like? Is it different from canon?

The Outlander: Are they the “Outlander” or do they have another part in the Alliance? Do they leave the Alliance or stay? Do they still consider themselves a member of the Sith or the Republic?

(Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8, Day 9, Day 10, Day 11, Day 12, Day 13, Day 14, Day 15, Day 16, Day 17, Day 18, Day 19, Day 20) 

So, immediately post-chapter 3, Mara is a mess, thanks to the Quinncident. By the time we finish Shadow of Revan, though, she’s... well, still kind of a mess thanks to the Hand. However, she’s more able to deal with the emotional trauma thanks to lessons she learned in the aftermath of Quinn’s betrayal, and she’s just... more well-rounded, I suppose. More able to ask for help, less fearful of appearing vulnerable in front of her crew. She’s still convinced of the Empire’s superiority, but less convinced that perpetual war with the Republic is the answer. In Theron and my knight, Czessara, she sees people who could potentially form the basis of a diplomatic relationship with the Republic. (I’m thinking Mara is in fairly steady contact with Theron and Czess after Ziost, pushing for a coup or SOMETHING against Saresh, for the good of the galaxy.)

Mara is the Commander on Yavin IV - she’s the person both Lana and Theron make contact with - and she leads the coalition forces there. She also, unintentionally, mentors Czessara during that operation, a fact that ultimately contributes to Czess leaving the Jedi Order. 

**everything below is assuming Kotfe/Kotet are a (fixed) thing in the Maraverse; I haven’t decided yet**

Originally I had Mara as my canonical Outlander, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that makes very little sense. Mara is consummately Imperial; in the aftermath of being awakened on Zakuul she would do everything in her power to get home to Dromund Kaas. That may not be the best tactical decision, but her duty so far as she is concerned is to her people first. Czessara is the one with the one-galaxy vision of peace. Mara, and possibly Marr, make it off the Terminus but are unable to save Czess.

Instead, Mara (as a plain ol’ Darth Something now; I’m thinking she fought against Zakuul as the Wrath and had to make the Wrath disappear as part of the peace forced by Arcann) and Major Quinn (and possibly Jaesa and Vette; no reason I can’t screw with canon completely) bring their children and join the Alliance during Kotfe as combined military advisors/fact finding delegation for Acina. Mara acts as an executive officer to Czess; she’s the internal bad cop when necessary, and she handles most of the auxiliary missions (i.e., recruitment, star fortresses) and some of the more dangerous forays to Zakuul. At least, the ones she can talk Czess out of. She also reports back to Acina on the Alliance’s activities and her assessment of Czess’s ability to bring stability to Zakuul once Valkorian’s children are removed from power. Ultimately both Arcann and Vaylin abdicate the throne. 

I’m still toying with this idea, but I’m thinking that Mara, in light of Czessara’s stubborn refusal to take the throne and deal with the power vacuum left by Valkorian et al., might take the Eternal Throne from Czess at the end of Kotet. She joins Arcann, Vaylin, et al. in defending Czess’s body in the last chapter, and then suggests that Czess return to a ship for medical attention. And then opens a holo channel introducing herself and her connection to Valkorian/Vitiate, announces her rule and politely requests that all Alliance ships leave Zakuulan space immediately or face the wrath of the Eternal Fleet. (The extent to which Arcann and/or Vaylin knew about this in advance is TBD.) A day later Zakuul and the Empire have entered into a very close-knit alliance, with the two empires exchanging ambassadors and several Zakuulan politicians gaining seats on the Council, which has become a large body governing both political entities. 

Mara ends the policy of stripping raw material from both the Empire and the Republic and  removes any remaining star fortresses as a sign of good faith. She then opens diplomatic talks with the Alliance. I haven’t decided how well that goes. (Probably not very.)

30 Day SWTOR OC Challenge (Ruqi and Tig Edition) Day 21: Coda

How do they change after their story? What is their “epilogue” like? Is it different from canon? 

The Outlander: Are they the “Outlander” or do they have another part in the Alliance? Do they leave the Alliance or stay? Do they still consider themselves a member of the Sith or the Republic?

Ruqi

With Ruqi, I've talked about how she ends up friends with some Jedi and effectively in exile from the Empire, but one thing I've only talked about a little is how much it changes her to learn the truth about Vitiate and how that comes about (not much of which has been ficced so far, but all of which I hope to fic eventually).

When you take a SW through Ziost, there's this one dialogue choice where you can tell Vitiate "there was a time when I took pride in being your Wrath". For Ruqi, that's...sort of true. When she becomes the Wrath, she has her doubts and worries about whether serving the long-absent Emperor will always be something she can do willingly and cheerfully, but she is genuinely proud of having achieved such a position, proud of having fought her way there against steep odds and proud of the opportunity it gives her to serve the Empire as she best sees fit.

Then Ilum happens. Ruqi encounters Tig and Scourge for the first time, asks Scourge why he did what he did, and he asks her if he really wants to know, if she's prepared to hear an answer that could change everything for her the way it did for him. She doesn't get her answer then, but the conversation sticks in her mind. Then Makeb happens. Ruqi confronts the idea of an Empire without the Emperor, realizes it may not be such a terrible thing, not if qualified leaders like Marr can step in to fill that void. Then Oricon happens. Ruqi, who helped free the Dread Masters from Belsavis because the Imperial Guard asked her to, is forced to confront what they've done--what SHE’S done, what she's allowed to happen by going along with what she was told was the Emperor's will.

Then Rishi happens. Vowrawn, like Scourge, poses questions that make Ruqi think twice. She learns the Hand has been tracking her with the Opticron droids, and hears what those droids have to say.

The next time she asks Scourge why he turned against Vitiate, she's ready to hear the answer.

Jumping ahead to the Alliance--I've referred to Ruqi's position in the Alliance as "Emergency Backup Outlander". It was circumstance and timing that kept her from being on the flagship with Tig and Marr, so she could easily have actually been the Outlander, and if Tig ever fell or was captured the Alliance would revert to joint leadership by Ruqi and Chrisera (Tig's idea in setting that up being that they would basically balance each other out and if you combine the two of them you get the closest thing you're going to have to her). Eventually, she settles into the role of supreme commander of the Alliance's Force users--Chrisera handles their recruitment and training, and Tig has the final say in all things, but when it comes to actually deploying the Alliance's Jedi and Sith troops in battle, that's Ruqi. She currently doesn't see herself giving up that post, though she would very much like to at least be able to visit the Empire again.  

Tig

I think the biggest changes Tig undergoes between the end of the base game and the start of KOTFE are all things I've covered pretty well already--the way her views of the Jedi Council change, falling in love with Lana, etc. Becoming the Outlander obviously changes her a lot, and one of the ways it does so is by thrusting her into such a prominent leadership role. She never wanted to rule an Empire or anything close to it, and even taking the "I'm no Empress" route, even emphasizing that the Alliance is going to continue to be an Alliance (which I interpret as turning Alliance Command into an Alliance Council and trying to govern democratically)...she's at the head of that Alliance, and feels that she has a duty to stay there.
