Character Masterlist
so this is an updated version of my last oc masterlist post; it's going to be a work in progress with links being updated as i create bios and whatnot. the end goal is it's going to have all three of my swtor canons and my kotor canon listed here, each character will have a small blurb, and i'll link a bio about each character that has images and a little more in depth description of them and their plot!
under a readmore because it's going to be long.
EDIT: decided to add my mass effect and dragon age blorbos as well, though the dragon age ones are going to be a massive WIP until i finish some playthroughs.
SWTOR/KOTOR
how does a man change the universe?
(kotor fics, solo, connects to swtor canon "like a moth to you, sunlight")

a few final notes: start a war follows the swtor game plots fairly closely in a lot of ways. there's a lot of minor canon divergences, and some characters play different roles than they do in canon, as well as the occasional swapping around of an expansion in the timeline, but it's fairly canon-accurate.
sunlight is fairly canon-compliant through the early expansions and the Zakuul arcs, in terms of broad arcs, but from onslaught and on is heavily canon-divergent, and post-class stories it has quire a few moderate canon divergences.
god-child's canon starts out with an entirely different worldstate in which the Republic fully didn't exist in the majority of the galaxy for a solid fifty years around the kotor era, and that echoes forward into swtor in multiple ways. the biggest story arcs - the class stories, zakuul - remain the same, but everything else is heavily canon divergent, although most of the canon expansions exist in some form or another.
MASS EFFECT
solo mass effect content
Lyrida Shepard: a fully paragon colonist/sole survivor who romances Kaidan, brokers peace between the geth and the quarians, and destroys the Reapers without losing the geth. she survives and builds a family on the Citadel.
unnamed verse shared with @ipreferfiction
Mikka Shepard: the very renegade younger sister of paragon Taryn Shepard, Mikka is earthborn/ruthless and is the Spectre out of the two of them, though she's not the one to sacrifice herself on the Citadel at the end. she romances Javik and is a full biotic.
DRAGON AGE
Desri Surana: a half-elven mage raised in the Denerim alienage before she was discovered to be an apostate and sent to the Circle. Duncan's daughter, though she doesn't know this. probably going to romance a hardened Leliana.
Vivian Hawke: a mostly blue, slightly red mage who romances Anders and campaigns heavily for mage rights both within and without Kirkwall. she supports Anders' decision to destroy the Kirkwall chantry and remains with him after it. her brother Carver is a templar.
Vythral'a Lavellan: First of her clan before she was sent to spy on the conclave, Vythral'a is a very unwilling Herald and a slightly-more-willing Inquisitor, determined to defeat Corypheus and protect her clan. very much loves her people and her culture and would do anything for them. her curiosity and love of unique magic endeared her to Solas, and she falls into a romance with him.

Giant Swallowtail (Papilio cresphontes)
Distribution: Found across the United States, up to southern Canada and down to Mexico, Jamaica and Cuba.
Habitat: Mainly found in deciduous forests and citrus orchards.
Diet: Adults feed on nectar and the liquid from animal waste; plants fed on include lantana, azalea, bougainvillea, soapwort, dame's rocket, goldenrod, Japanese honeysuckle and milkweed. Caterpillars feed on the leaves of plants in the citrus family.
Description: The giant swallowtail's larva is also called the orange puppy due to the fact that it's a pest of citrus trees, including orange trees. In order to protect itself from predators, the caterpillar camouflages itself by imitating the appearance of bird or lizard poop. If this doesn't fool a predator, it has a trick up its sleeve—or more accurately, its head; it can deploy an osmeteria, which is a brightly-colored Y-shaped growth, whose appearance is often accompanied by a strong, foul odour. This only really works to startle smaller predators, though, such as lizards and other insects.
Due to global warming, the giant swallowtail's range has gradually expanded northward. However, they're still only able to overwinter in areas of the deep south. They can be spotted fairly easily—adults have a wingspan of up to 19 centimetres, making the giant swallowtail the largest butterfly in North America!

Azriel glides low over the carnage. When he flares his great black wings to slow and land, he veers sharply to the left, but recovers and stumbles to a stop as his claws strike the earth.
All around is devastation. The Arch-Warmage fits here well — he does not fold his wings down as he turns to face Kha’xanzyr, and as he draws closer the reason is apparent. Wounds that would have sent a lesser sorcerer running after the first one litter his wings and his thick black-and-white scales are cracked near his left side. The inboard feathers there are reduced to scorched, sharp quills, as are the leading primaries of his right forewing. The right rear is bent at a wrong angle and missing most of its flight feathers, practically dragging.
Nothing has damaged him this badly since the realm of Lanar fell. The memory is too fresh.
But he is still standing.
He stoops to claw the heart from a fallen corpse — friend or foe, it does not matter, they aren’t using it — and he tears into it before he acknowledges the towering, electrified beast. There is a short silence, he casts his eyes across the battlefield, and his question comes out flat.
“Where is he.”
Where is he?
The question hangs in the air, echoing in Kha'xanzyr's mind, joining his own inquiries. Where is he? Where? That's what the Bloodthirster wants to know but no matter where he looks he does not see the familiar orange shape of his brother. Azriel's presence causes him to flinch, the only indication that the calmness belies a fretful daemon.
Where is his brother?
Bloodthirsters don't mourn one another, not really. When one fell in the vast legions of Khorne, it was but an opportunity for another to rise. Long had Kha'xanzyr coveted Khazaan's spot as second strongest, and he would've leered at Skarbrand too had he acquired it. But now Khazaan was actually gone, dead or perhaps taken. And the Blood Legions were far behind them.
They were far from Khorne's sight and his favor and Skarbrand would want answers and accusations and blame would fly and--
" I don't know." Kha'xanzyr finally answers, masking uncertainty and fretfulness with anger and rage. " Check the dead. Where is Vhiarn? Vhiarn!"
The she-daemon fails to answer and the Bloodthirster trembles with growing fury, muttering daemonic curses. Where was his brother? His second in command?
....Where was Skarbrand?!

Vreila Lanar
Vreila is the oldest member of the start a war cast, being 26 when the class stories begin. she was Syo Bakarn's padawan and specialized as a diplomat during her padawanship, and was knighted two years before the game. she spends a few months working with Coruscant's senator and the migrant merchants' guild, attempting to resolve some of the refugee crisis, and when the dark plague begins affecting various masters of the Order, she learns the shielding ritual from her young friend Riali, who she's known since Riali was young and Vreila was helping her with her saber forms. as one of the only Jedi capable of helping, Vreila was sent to Alderaan, both to safeguard the negotiations taking place there and to assist Master Sidonie; she suspected from early on that Sidonie was plagued, but her attempt to shield the master met with disaster and Vreila herself fell under Vivicar's sway. after Riali came to Alderaan and helped her, Vreila in turn went with her friend to stop Vivicar. she was given the rank of master for her assistance, even though she struggled for quite a while with feelings of inadequacy over the title, given her failures.
still, when the Republic asked the Order for a diplomat to assist with the Rift Alliance, Vreila was the one chosen, and her work with the representatives led her to spearhead the hunt for the Children of the Emperor and the gathering of an army of allies to help fight back. after the disastrous events of Corellia and the First Son's reveal, a broken but alive Syo abdicated his Council seat and Vreila was chosen to replace him. she served the Council well for several years, even after Zakuul attacked and her husband, Felix Iresso, was taken as a POW - she was pregnant at the time and Felix's loss was a huge blow, but she stayed with the Order and made attempts to convince the Senate to authorize a rescue of the various Republic POWs held on Zakuul itself. after years of asking and being denied by Saresh, Vreila took matters into her own hands and got herself assigned as the Republic liaison with the Alliance.
even though Vreila now lives on Odessen with her husband and son, she remains a member of the Jedi High Council, formally instated as its Grand Master, and is occasionally called back to the Core Worlds to assist with matters. she serves as the Master of the Odessen Jedi Enclave and attends to all manner of diplomatic concerns across the city-base and the worlds that make up the Eternal Alliance.
