OC profile meme

I got tagged by @aeducanka / @reverienne !! thank you! My darling Revan/Jess Ashley ❤️

PHYSICAL

Name: Jess Ashley/Revan    She chose the name Revan when she was pretty young, after dropping her deadname. The jedi council gave her the name Jess Ashley along with her fake memories, but it stuck and she doesn’t mind being called either.

Nickname: Rev, Jessie

Age: 30 at the start of kotor1

Morality: Neutral Evil     I always have a hard time choosing an accurate alignment for my characters since I feel like they’re always in between somewhere. Jess is definitely neutral, since she does defy laws and rules if it’s in her best interest, but doesn’t go out of her way to break any. She certainly isn’t “good”, either. Neutral evil is being capable of anything as long as it advances the character or their goals and I feel like that fits quite well. (also she was on the red morality side ingame) PERSONAL

Religion: does the force count?    Jess doesn’t follow either the jedi or the sith code closely, but she’s very attuned and connected to the force and has created her own religion-like thinking around it. She definitely believes the force has a certain predetermined destiny for anyone and anything, and that she is able to sense that destiny. This has quite gone to her head, as she believes she’s some kind of prophet who can see the force’s will. However, she doesn’t dare going against that destiny(and if she does; it’s only reserved for the people she loves most in the universe). 

Sins: greed/gluttony/sloth/lust/pride/envy/wrath

Virtues: chastity/charity/dilligence/humility/kindness/patience/justice

Known languages: common, wookiee, and since she has the force power comprehend speech, a lot more (even if she can’t remember how she got the ability to speak those languages)

Build: scrawny/bony/slender/fit/athletic/curvy/herculean/pudgy/plus size/average

Height: ~1.70m?

Scars/Birthmarks: Claw scars on her lower back    Headcanon time! She and some other padawans were stationed on Hoth for some training in the snow and of course she wandered off cause she was bored. Alek was right on her heels cause he was always the more responsible of the two and he was worried. They got sneak attacked by some big creature, which left Revan with scars on her lower back (since she was too embarrassed to go to a proper healer) and from then on they both hated Hoth, and even disliked the cold. Even after her memory loss, Jess had an unexplainable reluctance to go to Hoth, and still disliked the cold. ABILITIES/POWERS

1. She is able to sense the “will of the force”, and sees destined outcomes through the force. However, these destinies can be pretty vague and have to be interpreted by Jess herself.

2. Jess has an incredible amount of patience, mostly because she can see the humour in almost every situation and she doesn’t mind waiting if she is amused in the meantime.

3. She is a skilled warrior with double blades, both lightsaber(red and yellow) and vibroblades. She can handle herself in hand to hand combat too.

4. If she truly wants something, almost nothing will stop her from reaching her goals, and she is not above using any powers possible or playing dirty if it is convenient for her. However, this rarely happens as she is cocky enough to believe she can do most things with half her effort. 

5. Jess is very good at swoop racing and is NOT afraid of going fast. Mostly cause she doesn’t care if she hits anything on the way.

6. She is also a pretty skilled mechanic, she can fix any swoop bike and do small repairs/improvements on ships and other machinery.

RESTRICTIONS

1. Because she thinks she can sense the “will of the force”, she often blames the force for stuff that she alone is to blame for. She also uses it as an excuse, which is infuriating for her friends.

2. She strongly believes that people do not change; they can only realize potentials or go ‘off track’ on their destiny. If people change drastically, they either have always been like that without realizing or they are just plain wrong. So, if she has made her mind up about you, she rarely ever changes her perspective. For example: in her opinion, Bastila’s true destiny was being a jedi, so she was not very concerned when she ‘turned to the dark side’. 

3. This makes her very stubborn and stuck in her thinking. Once you get to know her, she is actually pretty predictable and sometimes really frustrating.

4. Jess is really arrogant and believes she is practically unbeatable, and that her ideals/ideas are always right. She cannot wrap her head around being wrong about something or someone.

5. She cannot cook for shit, which is why she likes making soups best (can’t burn that!)

6. Jess gets.. ‘moods’. These ‘moods’ are difficult to describe but the best similar thing I know is PMS, but different and very aggressive. During these moods, everything feels wrong and she’s like a spring full of tension about to jump up and blind someone. It’s like an accumulation of all the wrong things in her life (and there are A LOT) that sometimes just needs to… get out. She usually solves them by getting into a fight or physically destroying something, and then just waiting for it to get out of her system. Nobody really knows where these moods come from or how to solve them in a nonviolent way, but meditating with Jolee seems to lessen the aggression a little.  

FAVOURITES

Food: Creamed Rishi corn soup (there is a lot of food on wookieepedia omg)

Pizza topping: Peppers 

Colour: Red!

Music genre: Electronic Dance Music    F.E.M.M. would be her fave artists

Movie genre: Heist movies or like... fast & furious stuff 

Curse words: Jess is one of those casual cursers who doesn’t even think about it anymore. So her fav is probably just “kriff” which she uses every other sentence. However, being around Mission (and Bastila tbh) would make her more cautious with her cursing. She also definitely picked up some Mando’a curses from Canderous.

Scents: The scent swoop bikes leave behind after speeding away, Kashyyyk after a rainy day, the smokey smell that’s present in the shady part of bars, the oily smell at the work bench, the black tea she likes to drink with Juhani. FUN STUFF

Bottom or top: Top but she also doesn’t mind switching

Sings in the shower: No, she absolutely hates her singing voice even after assurations from her friends that it’s fine. She doesn’t mind her normal talking voice anymore, but singing is just too deep and masculine and wrong and not her.

Likes puns: Yes. The worse the better. She would have the worst shit-eating grin on her face after telling one and she wouldn’t be able to stop herself from smiling.

11 Questions

I was tagged by @itsmadea (tysm lovely) to answer these questions. Tagging @pens-swords-stuff, @write-and-fight, and @zeesqueere (plus anyone else who wants to answer these questions).

1. How long have you been writing?

Oh god since forever. Like I found this old book (pile of papers stapled together) I made when I was five(ish) about a princess looking for a dragon I think. It had illustrations and everything. But I think I really started being serious about it when I was 10? Like I have this old notebook with nearly 20 parts. It's all about these trio of sisters chasing after a magic orb or something-it's been forever since I looked at it. But yeah. Most of my life really.

2. What are the major themes of your current wip(s)?

That's a good question, it really is. Um, there's some of me trying to break stereotypes but I guess that's not really a theme. I suppose that the biggest them is family. That family shapes you, can make you better or worse, that family is more than blood and DNA because you can choose it. 

3. What do you want people to take away from your story once they’ve read it?

Just to enjoy it really. Syzygy wasn’t written to be some big intellectual piece. It was written because I wanted a bunch of disaster bis with magic going on a space trip. 

4. Would you be excited if people write fanfiction about your wip(s)?

Absolutely! It would be so cool to know someone was that invested in something I created. I might literally cry.

5. What’s your go-to writing beverage?

Strawberry smoothie when it’s warm and hot chocolate in the cold weather.

6. Who is your favourite oc? Tell me about them!

Just one? Oh this is hard because I adore all of my OCs. But I’m going to go with Kalix because he’s one of the first OCs that I really fleshed out and got attached to. I originally wrote about him in a completely different story (featuring evil royalty, Vala as his badass sister, magic, and talking griffons) but he eventually ended up as one of the protagonists of Syzygy.

In a nutshell, he’s a guy who does everything wrong because he’s trying to heal his sister but (like you might expect) he’s much more complex than that. He’s insecure af due to constantly feeling overshadowed by his younger sister Vala whom he both adores and is envious of. He’s ridiculously protective of her because she’s the only family member left alive (they’re both essentially immortal), hence the entire premise of Syzygy. At the same time, he’s selfish because he’s going on this quest to heal Vala and to prove that he’s better than her. He’s just this mess of conflicting motivations and ideals and I love him to pieces.

7. Do you feel that mistakes are important learning tools in the writing journey?

100%. Mistakes mean you can grow, and I personally believe that all writers should grow in some aspect as they continue to write.

8. Rank your ocs by their capability in a footchase (either running after or from smth, your choice)

The fastest would be Hymera, hands down. She doesn’t train relentlessly like Yarus and Amaranthina, but since she’s a werewolf, she has enhanced speed that gives her an edge. Second fastest would be Metos or Betia, because they grew up in a place where it was important to run away from people bigger and stronger than you. On the other hand, Yarus and Amaranthina would have the most stamina because they train relentlessly. They’re endurance runners, so they’d win the 10K but Metos/Betia would win the 100 yard dash. Reyja is better in water than on land, but she can run when she needs to. She’s just a bit faster than Kalix, who hates running with passion.

9. Does your wip have romance? tell me about it!! if not tell me about a friendship/important relationship in your wip!!

It does actually. One of the subplots is Betia and Metos eventually dating. I love these soft boyfriends so so much. They are the mutual pining/best friends to lovers tropes personified and I adore them. And they’re so supportive of each other??? Like Betia went out and made a little kit of mini car parts for Metos to build/fiddle with and will verbally tear into anyone who tries to make a joke about it. Metos has a list of stupid jokes to tell every time Betia gets nervous and he’s constantly adding new ones. 

They have this entire shorthand consisting of eye rolls, head tilts, raised eyebrows, and half sentences that no one else completely understands and a plethora of inside jokes that go as far back as when they were both 14. But like, they don’t even get together until like the last half of the story and it drives me nuts because these two are hardcore pining for each other. Like everyone sees it but them. So the first half it’s just them being pining best friends while their other friends just shake their heads. alkdj;kfakdj I just really love these two excuse the rambles.

10. Do you believe in the advice kill your darlings?

I personally don’t. I don’t think it’s bad advice, I just don’t think it’s fitting for every type of story. 

11. Do you prefer plotting or worldbuilding? Why?

Worldbuilding, no contest. Fantasy is my favorite genre to write (and read) because of the possibilities. You can create worlds where the impossible happens and it’s totally normal. You can create entire universes where dragons and selkies and wyverns exist. You can create cities where it’s totally normal to live in underwater cities and planets are made of diamonds. You can create anything and I love that.
