CT-0845 Sergeant Ragnar | 104th Battalion / Lone Wolf Squad
And glory, eternal glory, we shall bear its weight together Forged like the saber in the fires of death Brothers all
Tumblr media
Information about this OC below the cut
Ragnar is a clone OC from my TCW/TBB longfic A Lupe Of Faith (aLoF)
DESIGNATION CT-0845 NAME Ragnar RANK Sergeant HOMEWORLD Kamino BORN 32 BBY (somewhere during or shortly after)
SPECIES human (clone) GENDER male (he/him) GENETIC DONOR Jango Fett HEIGHT 1.83 meters (6 ft) HAIR COLOUR dark brown EYE COLOUR brown SKIN COLOUR tan
AFFILIATIONS Galactic Republic / GAR / 104th Battalion / Lone Wolf Squad Lupe of Lothal (Jedi General) and others (no spoilers)
SUMMARY In 21 BBY, Ragnar and three other clones are assembled into an elite clone squad under the 104th Battalion. Newly knighted Jedi Lupe is assigned as their general because of her creative way of problem solving. After their first mission together, Lupe names their squad the Lone Wolf Squad (Lone Wolves for short). During their time together, Ragnar grows a very deep bond with their Jedi General, always being at her side, having her back and granting her tactical advice (which she highly values).
PERSONALITY Ragnar is very reserved and serious; he will only say something if he thinks it's necessary during the situation. He is a skilled and tactical leader, but will never act like he is better than any of his brothers. He is fiercely loyal towards his brothers and those he grows close to. He might even soften up to them and share an occasional (yet rare) smile. He would sacrifice himself for those he cares about; vode an.
TATTOO The tattoo on his right cheekbone reads 'vode an' in Elder Futhark runes.
ARMOUR Ragnar wears the usual Phase II clone armour. He wears emblems on both his shoulder pieces. He isn't much into customising his attire; any painting was enthusiastically chosen by Fang and carefully painted by Twist.
On his left shoulder piece, he wears the Lone Wolf Squad emblem. On his right shoulder piece, he wears the Wolfpack emblem.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
RUNES Ragnar has three runes painted on the front of his Phase II helmet: ᛏ Teiwaz | justice, victory, warrior ᛖ Ehwaz | loyalty, stability, trust ​ᚹ Wunjo | comfort, glory, harmony
WEAPONS Besides the usual DC-17 hand blaster, Ragnar wields a (one-handed) vibro-axe.

Thoughts on Xanatos in the Jedi Apprentice Books (so far)
m reading the jedi apprentice books for xanatos lore. im here for my blorbo who did it all. i do see why the obi-wan whump enjoyers got onto this, there is so much bad stuff happening to obiwan.
In summary-
Qui-Gon:
“Why was it so hard for Qui-Gon to trust him [obi-wan] still? Because I trusted another. I trusted Xanatos completely, and disaster was the result. The sense of loss was so great that even now Qui-Gon felt it like a living wound. He’d rather have taken a dozen blows from the pirate chieftain’s vibro-ax than to ever feel such loss and pain again.”
Me: xanatos mention!!! 🥺 🥰 🎉 🍿 <- eating popcorn
Xanatos: *haunting the narrative*
Obi-Wan: *numerous injuries, passes out, develops a dangerous fever, blames himself for everything*
Xanatos's entrance in the second book is brilliant. thats my blorbo, hes shown up late without starbucks and hes definitely up to something.
“The door suddenly flew open. A young man stood in the doorway. His shiny black cape was lined in a blue so deep it was almost black as well. A broken circle scar marked his cheek. Qui-Gon's gaze locked with the intruder's. The moment hung suspended in the air. Then, to Qui-Gon's surprise, Xanatos broke into a delighted grin. "Old friend! So you are here. I hardly dared to hope." Xanatos strode forward, handsome and commanding. His black hair flowed to his shoulders, and his dark blue eyes matched the lining on his cape.”
the only warning qui-gon got of this was an ominously vague note:
"“I have been looking forward to this day." The message had included a small drawing of a broken circle next to Xanatos' name — there was a gap where the ends should meet. It was a reminder to Qui-Gon. A taunt. Xanatos had a scar on his cheek in that form. Qui-Gon meditated on the message again, letting all the possible implications come to him. He could be walking into a trap. Or Xanatos could be playing a game with him. He could be galaxies away right now, smiling at the idea the he made his former Master shudder in fear at the sight of his name.”
now im thinking about an all is well au where xanatos is a jedi and now a knight. he still gives his former master heartattacks leaving ominously vague sticky notes in unexpected places and kiddnapping his apprentice. but instead of for evil, he is taking obiwan out for milkshakes at dex's, feeding him too much sugar, running around the city together and doing things that obiwan would think quigon would not let him but qg probs actually would. xanatos is a teeny bit desperate for his padawan brother to like him that hes resorted to both blatant attempts at bribery and asking feemor's advice, not that he'd admit to any of it.
whats driving me mad is that in the comics (THERE ARE XANATOS COMICS OF HIS LAST MISSION AS A PADAWAN AND FALL THAT HARDLY ANYONE SEEMS TO KNOW EXIST GO READ THEM AND SCREAM WITH ME), he clearly has light brown hair as a teenager, not black, and his eyes are brown that looks sometimes murky greenish or hazel depending on the lighting/colouring consistency but unmistakably not blue. i need an explanation other than inconsistencies in the text. the hair is explained by xanatos dyeing it for goth purposes, but the eyes? darksider burning orange would not be unexpected, but not dark blue. i think the answer could be that he's wearing coloured contacts to cover the darkside orange then chose blue both cause its different from his natural eye colour and for dramatics. also we need more brown-eyed characters, im sick of everyone having blue eyes as default.
okay back to reading the books, i simply needed to ramble. this will happen again.
he's my blorbo as in im grabbing him and shaking him in a most feral way. why im suddenly so obsessed. also why did they make him pretty with his swooshy cape and swooshy black hair and dubious intentions, that was somehow a choice made there. i want that cape.

Grogu yelling 'Yippee!' while sitting in front of the Razor Crest with his dad, Din Djarin, the mythrol and Kuiil. LEGO Kit 75331 The Razor Crest. Grey model sits on blue batik fabric, in front of a TV and armoire.
Yippee! Epilogue to LEGO My Lightsaber
Grogu was exhausted. Rowan was exhausted. Leia, Jek, Seb, and even Luke were exhausted. It had been a tough couple of days. Yes. Days! Pulling pieces off the ship, moving them through the layers of Zoh’s atmosphere, placing where they belonged. Sending the right pieces to Axe Woves and to the crew of the ‘Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong’. The near miss with his dad… uff, that had been scary. Now it was over. Finally. 
Grogu hoped they would have a little time to celebrate, but he was pretty sure that everyone wanted to get back to their routine doing something else, somewhere else, while Jek-14 definitely wanted Zoh back to normal, which meant absent all of these visitors. Grogu understood that. He wanted to go back to Nevarro, chase some frogs around, build something fun, and may, just maybe, help his dad take care of some pirates. 
He preferred pirates to ex-Imps because pirates had simple goals. They wanted stuff and they didn’t want to pay for it. So they took it and ran away. He liked chasing them and he liked being able to give the stuff they took back to the people who it was taken from. Those people were always happy to see them and that was a nice change of pace when you spent so much time in the company of a Mandalorian. No one else was happy to see you until they confirmed that they were not the person the Mandalorian planned on bringing in cold. 
Grogu wondered if there was something they could do about that. As annoying as it was to see his dad just standing there and holding a lightsaber like he’d been born to be a Jedi, he was actually pretty proud of his dad. He hadn’t managed to hurt himself with it, which was a big plus. Grogu knew that the Darksaber hadn’t been that forgiving during the brief time that Din Djarin had lugged it around the galaxy with him. 
Maybe the boy Djarin had been meant to be a Jedi or something like one, but the Separatists had interfered with that and he ended up on a path to being a Mandalorian instead. Of course, just holding a lightsaber that had been activated and not managing to hurt yourself with it wasn’t much of an indicator that you were destined to be a Jedi. Yes, the Force had to flow through you to allow the weapon to be truly useful, but it wasn’t like his dad had thrown it and had it come whizzing back to him. As far as Grogu could tell, the Mandalorian had simply lifted the lightsaber and the blade sliced through that cowling like a vibro-knife through flash frozen Krayt dragon steaks. 
Dank Farrik! Now he was hungry. Never mind. 
He didn’t think that his dad was a hidden Force adept. He would known. Right? It was have been apparent. A person who was way too lucky. Always escaped the worst predicaments. Talked their way out of consequences that might interfere with their mission. A person like Grogu’s friend Ian. Now there was a Jedi in the making… if only the Emperor hadn’t interfered. 
Every once in a while Grogu wondered if somehow the Mandalorian was really Ian and that’s why he kept that helmet on so much of the time. It was pretty easy to hide your identity if you were a human who wore a helmet. That sort of thing didn’t actually work for Grogu at all. Oh sure. He’d worn his ‘Darth Vader’ costume including the goofy helmet to keep from being a target on Zoh. But after the first five minutes it was so annoying he took it off and he had no idea what RO-GR did with it. If he was as lucky as Ian some droid would be wearing it now and if bad people showed up that droid or mech would give them the run around, allowing the New Jedi Council to formulate a plan and address the issues proactively.
Womp Rats! Ian was right! Once you found yourself on something called the Jedi Council you started to talk and act like some sort of Master Jedi who couldn’t even tell what the weather was like outside without sending a padawan to find out. Uff. Another clear sign that Grogu was excessively tired from all that work and really needed to eat, sleep, and spend time with his dad watching Diggle and Daggle. 
“Hey, Buddy. I brought you some fresh frog stew. Turns out Skywalker’s friend who’s the captain of that YT-1300 had some in their preserver. The Princess said it was all yours. That was very nice of her, so don’t disappoint her by refusing it, okay?”
Grogu nodded his head and walked over to his dad to take the bowl. It looked so small in Din Djarin’s hands, but Grogu had to use the Force to make sure he didn’t drop it. It looked delicious and smelled better. Always a good sign. 
“Yeah, the captain said someone a lot like you had left it on ship and they’d been hoping to find someone who liked the stuff. Just lucky they crossed paths with us, I guess.”
Din Djarin sat down next to him and pulled a small ration pack out of his cloth bag. 
“Yeah. They had some ration packs stowed away as well. Lt. Valeria gave me some during your work periods because the N-1 ran out. I guess its time we started to look for a bigger ship. That one’s a lot of fun, but it doesn’t make our work easier and that’s what it should do.”
Grogu only had one thing to say that.
Yippee!

sulemio week 24 - prompt: (science) fantasy
(i.e., the star wars au no one asked for)
“I said to keep your guard up!” Even as Miorine’s head rung from the previous blow she tried to block the next that she knew was coming. She raised her arm up and activated the energy shield in her gauntlet. A blue disc of light snapped over her wrist in time to spare her an amputation from the vibro-axe that arced down and spat an angry fountain of sparks from where it struck the shield. But the strike was jarring, reverberating in her bones. Her guard was down again and she knew she was about to get punished for it. A heavy boot impacted her armored chest with enough force to drive the air out of her lungs. She flew backward, the clatter and screech of her armor striking the metal deck echoed in the large space. “I yield,” she said through gritted teeth, the words echoing in her helmet. Kenanji Avery was not the sort to stop a sparring match just because his opponent was on the ground. It was a hard thing for Miorine to swallow her pride, but it was a harder thing to spend two nights in the infirmary. The adjudicator echoed her as she lay sprawled on the floor. She heard heavy footsteps approach and she could already imagine Avery smiling down on her. “You require more training, milady.” Miorine coughed and rolled over, getting to her feet. “You do not train, Grand Marshall Avery,” she said. “You brutalize people who cannot fight back and you call that instructive. It makes for poor lessons.” “When the enemy can be defeated by criticism, I shall take your input into consideration,” Avery said. “Until then, stow your armor and inform your father of your latest defeat.” Miorine took off her helmet and looked up to the observation deck where several figures could be seen standing. “I’m sure he already knows.”
i missed a few days because my brain got seized by this thing so please enjoy it!!!

Gurgoyle G-10 Power Armor for Savage Rifts
Originally released on p. 205 of Rifts World Book 5: Triax and the NGR
Tumblr media
The gurgoyle power armor is a full environmental suit with robot augmentation much like the human suits. It is giant-sized because the wearer is a giant. The armor has wicked, spiked shoulder plates, jet thrusters for power leaps , and a few basic weapons. The complexity of the weapons and the suit's operation have been kept to a minimum. Weapons are deliberately familiar and easy to use. They include vibro-claws for hand to hand combat, a vibro-axe, an optional hand-gun and built-in ion blasters and mini-missiles . The sensor and communication system are similar to those of the human units , but with simpler display screens and more automated systems to make the armor user friendly.
Tumblr media
Size 3 (Normal), +11 MDC Armor, +6 Toughness, Strength d12+6, Pace 18 + d10 (100 MPH). 3,086 lbs, Rarity -6 Restricted, 2 million or more credits
Notes: Jet-Assisted Jumping (Jump +12" horizontal, +6" vertical), 100 MPH overland speed.
Weapons
2x Anti-Personnel Ion Blasters on the lower portion of the chest. Each is a circular style turret that can rotate in all directions 90 degrees.
1x Concealed Back Mini-Missile Launcher holding 4 mini missiles.
2x Giant Vibro-Claws, one in each hand. (Str+2d6 MD, AP 10, +1 Parry when paired, Min Str d8, Weight 10, 22000 credits)
Giant Vibro-Axe as a standard weapon. (Reach 2, Sized for 2+ or larger, requires 2 hands if not size 3 or larger, Str+3d6 MD, AP 14, Min Strength d12+2, Weigh 14, 45000 credits)
While the default Power Armor doesn't come with Energy Rifles or Rail Guns, they are often carried and used.

A bend in space-time Season 4 - [Chapter 9: Yet another him]
Tumblr media
[Chapter 9: Yet another him] Links : AO3 - Wattpad - FFN
Summary: Five isn't dead.He teleports Rin to the heights of Hargreeves Mansion, and explains that the only alternative to Oblivion… is their erasure from existence, known as The Cleanse.
Excerpt:
My eyes drift again over his soot-colored travel clothes: worn, riddled with holes, torn here and there, not unlike Klaus’s coats back when he lived on the streets. No sharply tailored blazer now, no high socks stuffed into polished dress shoes: he wears heavy-soled boots, the laces wound haphazardly around his calves. Perched amid the tousled mess of his black hair, a pair of aviator goggles glint under the dim lights. And at his side, the prosthetic hand of his mechanical arm opens and closes reflexively, as if it too is trying to master its emotions. (…)
"You built it yourself?" He smirks, understanding that I'm talking about his prosthetic (…). "Not to brag, but I’m the inventor of the retractable-blade vibro-axe; the 'AquaPure' chemical purifier for making water drinkable; and the pneumatic communication network 'PneuNet'". I chuckle softly, somehow relieved that he found himself a post-apocalyptic hobby, but he quickly grows serious again. "Add it to the list: I busted my ass trying to recreate the tech behind those good old time-hopping briefcases." "You managed to do it?"
He turns his head toward me with an unreadable expression, his mechanical fist tightening.
"I managed to build an imperfect but functional prototype. I was close to finalizing the last details, close to creating a model worthy of a patent. I worked non-stop… until the day my notebooks were stolen. All of them. Without exception. Years of work, almost-complete blueprints". "Some competitors stole them?" "The Commission".
This time I burst out laughing. I can’t help it: it’s purely nerves.
"The Commission? Agents literally sent by you?" He nods, though clearly a little annoyed. "Affirmative. They needed to replace the oversized, non-miniaturized transporters they were still using at the time. Big leap forward. You’re welcome, I guess".
Now I finally understand why the mechanics of those briefcases had always felt so familiar to me (…), why I had always felt that whoever designed those briefcases knew Five and his power intimately: allowing those machines to replicate his jumps. Through rustic technology, sure, but still beautifully miniaturized. The reason is simple and crystal clear: he invented them himself… before another version of him stole the idea.
"You're ruthless with yourself", I say, unable to stifle another small laugh, and he doesn't deny it. "The Founder is one of the versions of me who lived the longest and went the furthest. I swear, if I ever catch that bastard now, I'll strangle him with my own hands".

In this fic, I use an OC appearing almost only in deleted scenes - Rin - to revisit and analyze The Umbrella Academy: to clarify certain points and try to fill in the plot-holes. This fic is not a self-insert nor a OC-centric fic : Rin exists to flesh out the canon characters, and the fic is mostly focused on Klaus Hargreeves. Please read the introduction for more details ♡

I had an idea that mostly solves a huge problem I was having with justifying the gameplay of MaA: sorXa being the way I want it to be while maintaining reasonable armor functionality, but that simultaneously creates an absolute nightmare for the Machine at Arms TTRPG :^I
Maybe the TTRPG needs to be explicitly set in a slightly different period than sorXa's story... or maybe MaA: sorXa isn't canon from the perspective of the TTRPG (and vice-versa)...??? Fuck if I know :^/
The idea, for the record, is that the gold ether that gives sorXa her golden eyes and her sword its golden blade (when in its two-handed form) is somehow different from (and superior to) the sky blue/cyan ether seen in the sword I depicted her with in the first draft of her pre-transition appearance. I don't know if gold ether is "purer" or what, but it's far more effective at damaging matter when concentrated into a beam or a pellet,¹ to the point where it cuts through most things - even etherite² armor - like a knife through butter.³ "Blue" ether is potent in its own right, but etherite is able to stand up to it well enough to be worth wearing. With this specific concept, part of the idea is that Jos somehow found a way to harness gold ether without it becoming blue ether or something, allowing them to create weapons for sorXa et al. that utilize it offensively, and uhhhhhhhh doing something to sorXa's function that wouldn't be possible if she were powered with blue ether I guess? maybe? If I do end up going with this, it means sorXa can cleave through reasonably armored enemies without having to go for gaps in their armor the whole time or whatever,⁴ which better matches the "Mega Man Zero but it's in 3D" gameplay style I had in mind.
This still doesn't solve the issue of sorXa's non-ether weapons, though, like her sword and spear in their "vibro" forms, or her axe's blade... Hm. Much to think about.
(Also the reason it fucks with the TTRPG is that it seems to me like a nightmare to incorporate while keeping things reasonable, considering how powerful it is)
______
... for lack of a better term. Y'know, like the lemons that come out of busters in the Mega Mans those darned kids play these days.
Well, that's what I've been calling the material in my head, anyway. No clue how it incorporates ether exactly, just that it's strong, hard, tough, and (relatively) lightweight.
When it comes to stuff like armor or whatever it's more like a cold knife through chilled butter, but you get what I mean. You can still cut through armor with a blade of gold ether, it just might take a few good hits.
I know I could obviously just say "I don't care, whatever, cleave through the armor anyway, who gives a shit, don't think about it too hard", but like. I do care, at least in the specific context of my own work. I find the material realities of arms and armor interesting, and I like to have some semblance of believability to the setting, so having someone just cleave through armor with relatively normal weapon types raises the question of why the hell anyone bothers with that armor in the first place, y'know? There are probably other ways to deal with this problem - like, I dunno, maybe the people sorXa's fighting are equipped to deal with people who don't have access to modern military-grade weapons, so when someone comes along with a vibro-sword and a buster pistol they're suddenly underdressed for the occasion⁵ - but this is the one that occurred to me first, so it's the one I'm writing about. :^]
.... Shit, I actually kinda like that................... Hm. Hmmmmmmmm. :^I We'll see where I decide to go with all this.

Name: Armageddon First Appearance: Wonder Woman #234 (1977) Creators: Gerry Conway and Don Heck Abilities: Axe haver. Possesses ‘vibro boots’ which can cause anything he strikes to vibrate until it disintegrates. Jetpack haver. Possesses a super serum which can turn anyone into a mindless hulk-like berserker. Wields Poseidons trident. Possesses Neptunes trumpet of translation.
Backstory: His identity wreathed in mystery. Armageddon was a nazi agent driven by both a disgusting belief in eugenics, and an undying hatred for Russia. Acquiring a number of weapons and concotions, he would be sent to America in order to collapse its government so that Germany could conquer the world.
Between scientific inventions which were decades beyond anything possible in the 1950s, and magical artifacts capable of incredible feats, Armageddon was a force to be reckoned with who was fervently dedicated to his twisted beliefs.

Boomslang
Boomslang, xXxbeefman300xXx, 2020
Making a kitchen sink setting can be surprisingly difficult. Boomslang tries to incorporate a wild-west aesthetic, 4chan style trolling, a non-sexy interpretation of Naughty & Dice, subtle bio-implants, zombie Pinkertons ruling Texas, and an unexpectedly long section on vibro-axe dueling. And of course it uses a d12.
It turns out that... sigh... xXxbeefman300xXx, which I refuse to type again, was participating in 5 simultaneous game jams. Bonus points for ambition and audacity, but the resulting game isn't really playable. It's also packed full of trolling, some of which is funny and some of which is racist, and the author doesn't seem to be able to tell the difference.
The system has you roll 4d12, looking for the lowest number, but counting 12s as "successes". The game does not define what "successes" do. Attributes are rated from -1 to +11, with higher numbers clearly being better (the "Followers" attribute gives you more people the higher your rating is) but one page saying that they get "added to your roll," with an example of a +6 attribute turning a roll of 3 into an 8. No, that's not a typo - at least not from me. The attributes are Followers, Folly, Folklore, and Folderol, so they all have the exact same three-letter abbreviation.
The combat system is 10 pages, 9 of which is dueling with vibro-axes. There are extensive rules for positioning, stances, terrain effects, what happens if one of you is flying (nothing in the game gives you flight), and the effects of fame and morale. As you might guess, none of the mechanics for those match. "Damage" is referenced without having anything named "Hit Points" or "Wounds" or the like. There are no non-combat mechanics.
There are things worth mining from Boomslang, but honestly, give this one a pass. You can mine cooler things from much better games. Hopefully someone will do something better with the name some day, so that this one can be forgotten.
Boomslang can be found alongside other games of similar pedigree, by which I mean nowhere. It probably lives on some sort of chan or kun, honestly.

Vibro-axes were a type of melee weapon common in the galaxy. Varying in size and shape, some resembling primitive axes. With their weight, vibro-axes were effective at chopping through objects and beings. The vibro technology behind them caused the weapons to vibrate, causing more damage and giving them a better edge in combat.
