OC Tag Game

Tagged by @raven-of-domain-kwaad, thank you! I'll be keeping it within SWTOR characters since I just focus on them here.

No pressure tag (if you feel like it): @vespertine-legacy, @astrifer-bound, @mmigrainee, @chaoticspacefam, @spitzobsessed

Favorite OC - Jett

Not surprising. As much as I love my other characters (Auletta don't kill me), Jett just gotta be my favorite. Bounty hunter storyline being one of my favorites definitely affects this, but there is much more to this. She is this 'tough on the outside, softie on the inside' type of character that I just adore, I love her personal arcs about trauma, meaningful connections and leadership. And of course strong badass Mando women are just cool and get an instant liking from me :) I can go on for hours on this, but let's move on.

More under the cut.

Newest OC - Beirya and Zin

I had more ideas for new characters after I made Rya and Zin, but they are not yet actual characters that I plan to develop. So these two are my newest at the moment.

Oldest OC - Auletta

Technically, the first character I ever rolled in SWTOR was smuggler, but I didn't keep her in any way, so it's Auletta. Although she looked slightly different and was assassin instead of sorcerer in the game (which doesn't fit her background), the core of her character remained the same.

Meanest OC - Jaria

It's a tough spot between some of my characters, but when others can be polite or maybe it's not their nature to be rude (they just do it for others reasons), Jaria is unapologetically mean to people almost all the time (only shutting up if it saves her skin or gives an advantage).

Softest OC - Shailla and Lorri

(there are actually two more but I wanted to keep it short)

They are just so kind and gentle, striving to do more good in this imperfect galaxy. I mean, there is a reason why Lorri is often considered the heart of her little found family.

Most aloof/standoffish OC - Xaele and Jaria

Xaele in general is pretty distant from the world and even her own actions, which fit well for agent's life. And Jaria is, honestly, pretty mistrusting, and after being separated from her sister, probably the only person she gave a Hutt about, Jaria couldn't form meaningful connections with other people, so she's a loner. Plus she's mostly interested in self-gain and money, and she doesn't care how she gets it.

Dumbest (affectionate) OC - Vintu

Well, there may be others, but no one radiates chaotic dumbass energy like Vintu (yeah, not even smugglers, though they are close). Just look at his dumb face.

Smartest OC - Auletta and Elixess

I would betray Auletta by not including her here. She is a quick learner, a schemer, always hungry for knowledge and information. She's very good at using all available knowledge and information to get the best out of her situation, whatever it might be (back in slavery, in Sith Academy, Dark Council, you name it). The only period when Auletta made kinda dumb decisions was around chapters 1 and 2 of Inquisitor storyline, mostly bc she was drunk on power and freedom, testing how far she can go. But when she failed to kill Thanaton for the second time, Auletta adapted and got the best out of it.

Elixess is similar in many ways, except she doesn't have the same malicious intent as Auletta and maybe not as nerdy. She is a quick thinker, which helps her talk her way out of most trouble and see possibilities for profit. Also, I just thought having a smuggler as one of the smartest characters is funny.

(actually, there are more characters who are on the same level, but I wanted to mention these two)

Horniest OC - Vintu and Jaria

Jaria just likes to flirt around and have one-night stands almost every time she visits a new place (Mako got tired of it real quick). Shame that bounty hunters don't have a lot of flirt options with NPCs other than companions. And Vintu... well, for my own sanity we have an agreement - he doesn't tell much about his private life, and I don't get to know much about it. Let's just say that when he's with Jaesa they are very active, and even after he's done with her, Vintu still hits on a lot of people.

OC you'd bang - none

I'm way too asexual for that.

OC you'd be best friends with - Raen and Alaine

Both of them are great friend material. Raen shares some of my interests (that weren't a bit of self-insert to begin with, no no), so she can tolerate a bit of infodumping about special interests from me. She's generally fun to be around, except for maybe when she's being chased by law enforcement or when she's sleeping. Plus we might have 'introvert adopted by an extrovert' dynamiс in a good way.

Alaine is someone I could trust to discuss a lot of complicated topics without being judged harshly. And she's a good person and a reliable friend in general, so great to have her as a friend. Alaine is more of "calls me out on my shit" friend, and Raen is more of "tags along with my shit" friend, and I definitely need both these types of friends.

Pride asks for Xaele, Kyira, Bal’sara: 4 and 10

and for you: 14 and 17

💜

4. Is your oc's environment supportive about their identity? How does this impact them?

Well, Kyira isn't queer, so I'm not sure this question applies here. (although she's flattered if she gives off queer vibes)

Xaele, agenderfluid asexual lesbian, they/them or she/her

(Congratulations, this question made me reevaluate their identity, so it's different from what I previously said)

With Xaele it's more interesting. Admittedly, I don't know enough Chiss lore, so no idea how they treat queer identities. I want to think that it has little meaning in their society, and that could lead Xaele to not question their identity bc it's irrelevant. When it comes to Imperial Intelligence, they were a little concerned that Xaele might not use seduction when it is useful bc of their asexuality. However, it's not a big problem for Xaele - while she doesn't like it, she sacrifices a lot more than just comfort for the job.

It did influence the way they see intimacy - as a tool, not something they can actually enjoy for the sake of pleasure. When it comes up in the relationship with Lana, it needs a lot of work. Takes a lot of trust and learning from Xaele to do it, but in the end it works out.

Bal'sara, bisexual cis woman, she/her

First, I'll give my thoughts about how Jedi probably view this in general, and then how it impacted Bal specifically.

I don't see the Jedi being homo/trans/aphobic bc why would they be? Jedi strive for knowledge, to understand the world around them and within them. They seek to achieve harmony, and that can't be done if you do not know yourself or have an internal conflict. Pretty sure the Jedi teach younglings and padawans about different identities and all that, so they wouldn't feel scared or confused or misunderstood when discovering their own identities.

As to how it impacted Bal'sara - positively. When she started having doubts and questions about her identity, she went to either her master or whoever was in charge of teaching this stuff, and they helped her navigate through this. In her free time Bal did more self-exploration, tried different things, and before she was knighted, she was already confident in her identity as cisgender bisexual woman.

10. Does your oc celebrate Pride? How?

I'm not sure how I would approach the concept of Pride in Star Wars (and tbh I know little about it irl), so this is more of 'what if my characters existed in real life'.

Xaele - probably not, they have too much going on and no time or energy to celebrate. She appreciates its existence though.

Kyira - tags along with her queer friends if they celebrate.

Bal'sara - hell yeah she would celebrate with her girlfriend.

14. Do you have ocs on the aro or ace spectrum?

Yes! Their number grew bigger especially after me realizing that I'm ace and learning more about nuances in ace and aro spectrums. Admittedly, I don't have a lot of aromantic characters, but maybe it's bc they haven't told me yet.

Xaele, Myk and Rykeer are asexual; Shailla and Drechard are demisexual; Auletta and Lorri are aroace.

Also, I'm beginning to think Jett is somewhere on the asexual spectrum as well, but no specific label yet (maybe grey asexual?)

And Jaria strikes me as aromantic, but I'm reluctant about this bc for now she would be my only aromantic OC, and that's a bit problematic, considering her personality. (yeah, I have two aroace characters, but to me aroace is a little different to asexual or aromantic)

17. Do you share identity with any of your ocs? Which ones?

Well, I'm not yet completely set in my identity (it's mostly to do with aromantic spectrum and gender identity), but any asexual character has this in common with me (see above).

[a-master-procrastinator]

I saw @vespertine-legacy​ doing this and my stupid brain immediately demanded to do the same. I tried to resist, but failed miserably.

Bonus: Jaria isn’t exactly in a relationship, but she definitely got this message once.

[a-master-procrastinator]

And then Tulia was the one to die during the final boss fight. Hmm......

Had a fun run yesterday with @astrifer-bound​​ and @vespertine-legacy​​. First we grouped on rep side for a couple of heroics on Belsavis for levelling, probably could’ve finished one of them using stealth tricks, but decided it was Murder Time instead. Apparently, I got achievements for completing all Belsavis heroics on both sides (good, I think).

Then we decided to switch to Imp side for conquest. We’ve been having fun time with uprisings recently, but since my subscription ran out, we had to do something else instead. Ended up doing both Czerka flashpoints on master mode bc they aren’t too easy but not as hellish as that one boss on Korriban. And bc we like to suffer in this game. Or maybe it’s just me.

A few things I learned:

- I knew Jaria was charging for healing (and extra for healing companions, important addition), but neither I nor she knew we were getting paid for jokes

- this might have been the real reason Tulia dies during the final boss fight

- this made me come up with a headcanon: Jaria can’t read or spell (at least not at the start of class story). Unless not being able to read makes her less competent at killing people (and she’s waaaay above competent) she refuses to do so, and you better not point this out (Jaria might not spell, but she sure knows over 146 ways of ending your life).

What? You expected me to talk about fun gameplay moments? We did as we always do: charge into a fight, complain about comps staying in stupid, staying in stupid ourselves, making it to the boss, probably dying and leaving Vidi to deal with everything on his own (credit where its due, Lex, you carried these fights many times). The usual.

#i mean it probably makes sense to jaria #they don't really teach slaves how to read and spell #reena probably had to learn it in the academy but jaria? #she'd rather learn how to shoot and stab and poison and kick and pucnh and #oh the only thing she can read is numbers bc money #yup #thank god i still could switch three tacticals even as preferred #i think as along as items that require artifact equipment authorization stays in your inventory you can equip it even without one #but i'm disappointed in crafting #you can only send 3 comps #and they can't be assigned to craft more that one item at a time #ugh #anyway #i got to do group stuff with friends! that's always a good thing #swtor #swtor with friends #oc:jaria

Follower Meme

How would your character act if they would be an In-Game Follower/Companion?

Got tagged by @a-muirehen​​ and @raven-of-domain-kwaad​​ ages ago, thank you!

Seems like everybody did that, but if you’d like, consider yourself tagged!

Decided to go with my mean healer because she seemed fun.

Jaria

Selection line:

Make it quick, I’m busy.

Yeah?

Tell me we’re going to kill something.

Boss.

Don’t forget the money.

Class: Mercenary (healer)

Weapons: Two blaster pistols

Healing Lines:

Oh, this doesn’t look good.

That’ll cost extra.

A skilled fighter wouldn’t get hurt so easily.

Can’t pay me if you’re dead.

Exiting Battle:

Saved your skin. Again.

Eat that!

Payment better be worth it.

Finally!

Next time, let’s just sneak around.

KO'd/Low Health:

Ouch!

No, no problem. Just fashionably dying over here!

If you think death will save you from paying me, you’re dead wrong!

Fine, skip the payment, just help!

Resurrected:

Just kidding! You’re still paying me.

If only you listened to me.

You owe me a drink for that.

Misc. Click Lines:

I know, I look amazing. I’m giving fashion advice for a fair price.

Credits only.

I’m not really into a friendly talk, but get me a fine drink and a good spot in a cantina, and I’ll be your best friend.

(rare) Ever tried working for a Jedi? At least Sith are fun.

OC Fighting Style

Wow, I was tagged 3 times by @chaoticspacelesbians​, @shanfamilydrama​ and @thelastenvoyyy​, thanks you!

Tagging: @kyber-heart, @raven-of-domain-kwaad, @darth-bagel, @darksunning and @palepinkycat (no pressure, of course).

This time I’m going with some OCs I don’t have much of (because others already had this one).

Shailla, Jedi Consular

fight honorably / fight dirty / prefer close-quarters / prefer range / chat during / go silent / low pain tolerance / high pain tolerance / attack in bursts / attack steadily / go for the kill / aim to disarm / fight defensively / bait an opponent’s first strike / strike first / provoked easily / provoke their opponent / tease / get visibly frustrated / shout while attacking / use strategy / focus on their battle / experience conflicting thoughts during battle / rush in recklessly / try to read their opponent before fighting / fight wildly / fight calmly or apathetically / fight with anger / fight with excitement / fight because they have to (it really never pleases her to fight anyone) / fight because they want to / fight without regard to wounds / run away when wounded / hide wounds / take a blow to protect another / prefer a blade / prefer a gun / prefer a bow / prefer a shield / prefer a spear or naginata / prefer a personalized weapon / prefer magic or spells (even more than lightsaber) / prefer brawling / their greatest weakness is physical / their greatest weakness is mental  / their greatest weakness is emotional / transform for battle / fight as they appear / rely on strength / rely on speed / use everything they have / hide their full potential / exhaust quickly / high stamina / doubt their strength / proceed with caution / behave arrogantly / brag after landing a hit / belittle their abilities / use psychological tactics / use brute strength / avoid civilians / strike down civilians / damage surroundings / avoid damaging surroundings / signature fighting style / making it up as they go / mastered skillset / learning their skillset / fancy footwork / sloppy footwork / messy fighter / elegant fighter / accept defeat / refuse defeat / beg for mercy / compliment their opponent / insult their opponent / use unnecessary movements / move efficiently / barely move / prefer to dodge / prefer to block / defend their blindside / has no blindside / use all available advantages / strictly use one main method / play around / hold back / fight ruthlessly / show mercy / wait for opponent to be ready / strike when opponent isn’t ready / fear death / fear pain / fear killing / has PTSD / avoid fighting / has lost a fight / has won a fight / has killed / refuses to kill / want to die standing / would succumb slowly

So, here’s a fun thing - Shailla is more of combination of both JC sub classes: she wields a double-bladed lightsaber but focuses more on using the Force (basically Zannah but on the light side and with Jedi powers). In combat prefers to go with Soresu form, never strikes first and prefers to defend herself.

Xhireenah, Sith Inquisitor

Unlike most of my Force-users, Reena wasn’t trained as Sith for years, and while she was able to use of her Force abilities, before getting to Korriban she never learned melee combat, so she isn’t skilled in lightsaber fight. But her mastery of the Force makes up for lack of dueling skills.

Dress Uniform Day: free dress for everyone!

Have I mentioned that Dress Uniform day goes to every Alliance member? Luckily for most of my characters, they don’t interact with Vintu so they are safe from this silliness, but some still have to wear this.

Ollin isn’t sure it’s a good idea but she’s way too polite to refuse (she’s also a bit shy about such clothes. poor cinnamon roll)

Reena seems to be nailing it, she rather likes the look. (yes, Vintu chose colors of the dress for everyone personally)

Jaria absolutely loves this dress, and who can blame her? She does look rather pretty. (plus one to her soon to be countless number of outfits)

Werkilin knew working for the Alliance may present its risks, but he definitely did not sign up for this.  

(don’t mind not having shots from Odessen, not everyone is there yet)

For the first time I finally earned more than 3 mil credits in SWTOR, what should I spend them on? 

Some good options:

- tacticals that would improve character’s abilities

- bonus armor sets that would give me an edge in difficult fights

- unlocking expensive areas in strongholds

- some helpful legacy unlocks (Hk-51 or rocket boots, for example)

- just anything even slightly useful that costs credits.

Nah, screw this, I’m buying expensive cosmetic armor. 

Is this stupid? Yes. 

They look good tho.
