Swtor toons and hobbies
I was doing some brainstorming today trying to think about hobbies for one of my characters and realised I was sorely lacking in that department for a lot of my characters. So to that end, I wrote a stupid long list of characters and the things they do to waste time and indulge themselves
Ona’la
Endurance training, especially weights and long-distance running
Parenting/baby-sitting/crechemaster duties at the academy PILE MORE BABIES ON HER SHE LOVES BABIES
She has a soft spot for action holoflix and romcoms. She likes things that have unquestionably happy endings
Is chocolate a hobby? Thexan says no, Ona’la says yes
Asmi
Gardening, a strange hobby for a carnivore, but it helped her recovery while living on Voss
She was trying to study for at least a Bachelor of Law after being assigned as attache to the Chancellor’s Office, but her various chronic illnesses made it very difficult. She was studying from home, but the workload was a lot to keep up with
Used to binge watch a lot of holoshows while she was bed-bound, has watched every season of Galactic House Hunters (yes, all one hundred and thirty-eight seasons). And yes, she loves watching those cringey old action flix that Felix loves
Ellaz
SPORTSBALL. Surprising no one, Ellaz is a bit of a jock. Also, one of her brothers was a pro-racer for over two decades, and she was heavily into speeder sports as a result
Collects and builds model spaceships and speeders- another hobby she picked up from an older brother.
She and Aric are fans of crime procedurals. They yell at the screen and throw popcorn when the forensics lab in the shows offers completely implausible evidence about blasters and shrapnel in the murder case
Tahrin
Would you call it mixed martial arts? Whatever it is in a GFFA, Tahrin was extensively trained in every available saber style while locked in The Facility, and many of the more common fighting styles, and likes to practice in her private gyms. She likes to zone out while exercising
Meditating. Again, likes to zone out. Tahrin, do you not like being in your own head or something?
She likes logic puzzles. Something she can sit and ponder for hours until the answer comes to her, something that tests the limits of her knowledge
Kallathe
Lana says she’s not allowed to say sex, what’s even the point Lana?
To the surprise of literally everyone who knows her, she likes strategy games, the harder the better. She’ll play against an AI opponent or another person, and despite her hotheaded nature, she is a masterful tactician. Again, to the surprise of literally everyone.
She used to be a regular attendee in the front row at Dromund Kaas Fashion Week
Thessa
Reading, especially in bed, or in some kind of blanket cocoon on a rainy day. She will read anything, but has a particular interest in romance novels. They always have a happy ending. Also subscribed to numerous science journals specialising in xenobiology and xenochemistry
An art aficionado, she has a Patron Pass for the Dromund Kaas Imperial Museum of Art so that she can go year round whenever a new exhibit is unveiled
Is tea a hobby? She likes to go to this particular Tea House in the Csillan Quarter near to where she and Vector and Arram live in Kaas City, it’s easy to lose an entire afternoon in there
Ysaine
Because of her years on Nar Shaddaa, she is inevitably a Huttball fan. Stans hard for the Djilka Dancers, an all women’s team
Involved in a lot of Women’s Support networks- for trans women, for veterans of the Great Galactic War, for domestic abuse survivors. Her services as a bounty hunter prior to the Great Hunt were almost exclusively in aiding women and children escape from bad situations, and she’s tried to follow through with making sure they’ve got networks to support them when they’re free
Enjoys a good raucous cantina. Drinking some beers with friends and watching the game and eating some greasy food and yelling a lot
Kol’aya
Long distance running, just likes to put her headphones on and start running and not stop until her legs are jelly
Subscribed to a number of medical journals, specifically for neurosurgery and cybernetics but some general ones too
If pressed hard, she’d admit to enjoying sitting down with a beer and binging a couple of horror movies back to back, none of them scare her but she enjoys the genre
When she was younger, she used to enjoy clubbing, and going dancing until dawn
Xolani
Small scale gardening, like keeping small bonsai like plants in her home
Opera, and while she’s not a singer worthy of the stage, she does a worthy rendition of some of her favourites. Visited the Zakuulan theatre a lot during her time as the Lady of Sorrows
Crosswords and word puzzles
Bejah
R O B O T S. What’s that Nikos? Can I have that? Can I build that? I bet I can build that. Unconfirmed reports that she once built a Gree teleportation platform from scratch just from seeing them on Ilum
M A R S H M A L L O W S. Do you know you can MAKE your OWN MARSHMALLOWS??? DO YOU KNOW MARSHMALLOWS HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT FLAVOURS???
She loves comic books, because the limited text and bright colours doesn’t make it too overwhelming for her to follow along with. If it’s particularly dense, she and Nikos will read it together. He does silly voices for all the characters.
Pop music. She got to see Moon Room in concert for her 25th birthday and she cried
GLITTER AND BRIGHT COLOURED MAKEUP, she watches a lot of tutorials on HoloTube to get it right
Evie
Typical pub games- card games like pazaak and sabaac and ball games like billiards and pool
Computer games, especially arcade games
Not much of a reader, but she’s great at mathematically minded things. She’s memorised the stats for her favourite Grav-ball team, and knows how to count cards, and plays things like Sudoku when she’s got nothing else on hand
She follows Grav-Ball religiously, has a tattoo of her favourite player’s number from the Terminosi Terrors
That’s not everyone obviously but it was all I could get done during work (oops, work?) so we’ll leave it there for now :D
