Rank your characters from least to most likely to survive a horror movie. Show your work (offer explanations). Happy Spooky Month!
HI HELLO
dear lord okay lets go from my main eight. in celebration of finally having EIGHT OF THEM
Least
Ohah’veki [Smuggler] — Dude would think this was all a massive joke until he literally gets killed. Master of taking nothing seriously. The galaxy is a giant game and he is about to lose his winning streak!!!!!
Karsiyn Haxut [Trooper] — She may be a big buff cheeto puff but she got the nickname “Kote” (‘glory’ in Mando’a) for a reason. She is glorious! But not necessarily victorious!
Unihmawa [Bounty Hunter] — I’m sort of in-between on him, since he’s a bonafide survivor that will find a way even if he has to beat it out of someone. But he is very much practical and prone to moving in one straight line.
Dilieth Lawioh [Consular] — As we are learning now, poor girl has a terrible streak of getting scared of something and allowing that fear to convince her to lash out. She’s liable to overextend and expose that as an exploitable weakness, which could be Awful Since She Is A Little God
Chixo Kallig [Inquisitor] — Dude IS the horror movie. He is smacking on ghosts like Skittles. Somehow he’s not quite the eldritch horror yet, he tends to keep those at bay because he’s busy nose-down in a holocron he’s got no business touching.
Darrash Nealev [Agent] — Cryptid man. Sniper, likes to hide in high-up places where you’d have to go extremely out of your way to find him - would be most likely to split his time between burrowing and sneaking around to figure out what’s really happening, and putting a stop to it if he can.
Eikutyr [Warrior] — If it’s killable, she’ll kill it; if it’s subvertable, she’ll exploit it. There is no room for failure when success grants you freedom, and freedom above all is what she chases.
Cota Douaiou [Knight] — He is born of the Force. He is Force Incarnate. Good luck even trying.
felix being referred to more or less exclusively as "your soldier" in-game speaks to how little the writers put into his character beyond his noggin full of sith secrets & his relationship with the consular; still, i do find it kind of sweet and funny, in a way. he's not a republic soldier, not even your personal bodyguard; he's your soldier. the consular is a small nation-state in and of herself
spent my evening making this little thing, which I'm sure someone must've done before
it's a Chiss namemaker!
I know there are others online, but I always felt like I couldn't quite do what I wanted to on those. this should scratch that particular itch

I’ll stick to what I’ve been mulling over for … months: lifespan!
The closest thing to an answer I could find was fluffynexu’s estimate of 250-400 years on average, with extensions possible with the Force or medical intervention. Naturally I have to make everything more complicated and skew the average because I have a Pureblood (Priestess Nikpiutiuth) who lived to be nearly 800 years old. She was a Light-sided Sith and was already about 300y/o when Tenebrae was born, and endured (enjoyed) a horrific 500 more before she finally shrugged and said “I’ll call it quits, Force”. She lived to raise her own granddaughter and meet her great grandchildren.
For most of my LS SPB roster, they do tend to see their 500s-600s if they’re not . outright murdered before that. My DS SPBs.. as few and far between as they are.. generally see their 300s if they’re lucky, since they’re a tad busy killing one another off.
I think Vindican was maybe in his 100s-150s when Malgus slaughtered him, so he was still relatively young.
(Purebloods don’t talk about age much, after a certain point most people stop counting and nab the closest historical event to their birth for generalizations.)
actually, fuck it, woe! wip wednesday be upon ye! [i'm. we're basting another hyrohtyr au. i'm being unwell.] i'm currently too tired to give the entire context and i have no idea if i'll finish the whole piece, but i had to do something to get blorbo feelies out of my braincase bc i'm. i'm having a time. anyway!
what i will give you is this is sometime after ziost, but before kotfe. bc that's like. that's important timeline detail. xD
“Did you get my message?”
The shell is familiar, the outline of a stance, but that’s where it ends. His feet steady into an ingrained rhythm that suggests parade rest, save for his hands clasping in front around the datapad. There’s… something about it she hasn’t seen since… Yavin.
The frown finally stirs upon her lips. Nine was not one about whom she often searched the Force for answers upon, having learned quickly it was much too akin to an infringement upon the agent’s boundaries and trust, but she didn’t need it now to feel caution cool her previously racing thoughts.
What happened on Ziost… It would change everything. Everyone. Touched by Vitiate’s influence directly or not. It was changing everything, almost faster than she could fathom stamping down upon it.
And they’ve never spoken about what’s in his files, handed over to her in the wake of Imperial Intelligence, in the aftermath of Revan. She had known enough, when they stood on Ziost. It had not spared them a violent, jagged reality. No matter her intentions on the matter.
“I… admit I haven’t had time to read it in full,” she says carefully.
“Good.” He nods, his eyes dropping to his hands. “I… This is.” He clears his throat again, more roughly this time. “I felt this would be better delivered in-person.”
Her brow furrows as he hands over the datapad without so much as a hint of expectation.
Just an offering and exhausted, hollowed, waiting eyes.
She takes the datapad. “I thought I made myself clear, Commander,” she says, stern eyes still on him. “You were supposed to be off-duty.”
For barely a moment, a ceding, knowing smile ghosts the corners of his lips before he merely nods again. “You did,” he says evenly. His hands settle in front of him - a bit more easily, more familiar now in full rest.
A beat of silence between them before he draws in a slightly deeper breath quietly with a faint bracing of his shoulders and a firmer set in his jaw as he levels his gaze with hers.
“I… would like to make that arrangement more… permanent, Minister.”
He knows how much I hate that title-
bonus:
i want to shake him and lana's dynamic like a gumball machine.
If the TOR games are, in fact, not fully Legends material, but rather inhabit an accursed liminal space in the canon, being non-literal mythological stories passed down rather than history set in stone, I don't think I have to tell you how funny that is for lineages.
If TOR = Star Wars equivalent of Arthuriana or the tales of Robin Hood, then we gotta consider the fact that, like, real people in history rewrote those stories/their own family trees to give themselves direct ties to these allegedly historically-based mythologies. It then follows that if you hear a name from the mainline continuity in SWTOR, that's because the characters from the mainline continuity put it there. These bloodlines haven't persisted for 3,000+ years uninterrupted, it's just really culturally and politically useful for there to have been a Shae Vizsla who lived and fought alongside the Commander of the Eternal Alliance. 'Cause like, you can't prove she didn't, and her self-described descendants in the modern day have all this extensive oral history about her, so there.
