A Messy First Draft Of A Hound Redesign. One Hand Is On Backwards So We’ll Ignore That. What This

Qyzen Fess Dynamics

-Respect-

Elvira and Qyzen’s relationship is characterized by a deep mutual respect. The Trandoshan Scorkeeper’s way of the hunt is quite different from the Jedi code. So Elvira learns how to be open and respectful of Qyzen beliefs while still staying true to the Jedi code.

Through Qyzen, Elvira sees that the way of the Scorekeeper isn’t all that different from the Jedi. Both codes treat life with a deep respect, both teach awareness of the environment, mind, and body. These are similarities that Elvia begins to uncover, further cements her this sense of kinship.

Qyzen’s loyalty isn’t something Elvira asked for, and it definitely isn’t something that she feels like she deserves. But she has it anyways, so now there is part of her that is trying give back some of what he gave her.

It this respect that binds them together, because of they grow from each other. Elvira now has a part of her that is a hunter. She also much more prepared to deal with incredibly different cultures because of first hand experience with Trandoshan culture.

I just accidentally started as relationship with Felix. Like I not mad about, just surprised. Like man over here chatting to Elvira and she knows somethings up, but being Jedi doesn’t have that much experience with romance. So she does not realize he’s into her. What she does sense is that he’s hiding something, so naturally she wants the truth from him, and it comes out and then boom! He kisses her.

After this I think Elvira probably went to her cabin and just sat on the end of bed just, shook. Like, oh that happened.

I genuinely didn’t think Elvira would romance anybody during this play through because of how closely she follows the Jedi code. But this happened and it could work, Felix is sweet dude and he offered her something precious that Elvira wants to honor. So yeah it’ll be interesting to see how they feel their way through this budding relationship.

NPC Sunday

Thank you @frauleiiin and @reigrace-keyboardjam for tagging me.

Answering for Crodek because he’s been on the mind lately.

What type of npc would they be and where to find them?

He would be Sith Lord that the player character has to work with for a military mission. He more of a warlord type Sith so it would a military mission.

Crodek can be found on either Yavin 4, or stationed at random imperial military base. Walking around the soldiers making sure everything is in order is one of his happy places.

Yavin 4 is Crodek’s favorite planet because of its beauty and atmosphere. Some of this is his Cathar genes talking because the Cathars home planets is jungle planet. He also likes how strongly he can feel the planet’s ancient connection to the force is, he finds it reassuring.

If they were a merchant what would they sell?

Crodek wouldn’t a merchant unless it had been the family business for generations. In which a case would proudly inherit the business and seriously apply himself to his trade skill until he’s a master at it. His products would only be the best.

This business would be old school weapon smithing or armor smithing, me thinks.

As a quest giver what’s the question they’d give? A one off or a chain? What the reward be?

Crodek would have a question chain. Where he has a slightly rivalish disposition toward the play character through out the question line. The first quest is sending the player character off to do something menial or beneath them. This entirely for the purpose of testing them.

Crodek used this ‘test’ to determine the player capability and if he can can work them to complete the larger quest line’s missionThe fast be failed by certain character choices which terminates the question chain for that character.

The reward is the usual credits and gear. The only special reward is his grudging respect.

This question would be roughly alliance era were he hasn’t joined the alliance and doesn’t think to much of them. Dismissing them as so something more wishful, rather than an actual faction with power.

If they were a companion how do you unlock them? Do they have a specific quest.

Yes he would be a companion. Crodek would receives after his quest line as a reward. What happens is that as they accomplish the mission together, Crodek makes the alarming realization that the player character is not only his equal but perhaps more capable than he is.

There is two different ways he can be recruited depending once again player choices the first peaceful solution. One he agrees to/offer to join the player as result of his growing respect for them.

Or he can fight them when defeated he will join them once again as a sign of respect. He still feels a rivalish, but the respect is very much their.

Can they be romanced? If so what’s the reward?

Crodek is can be romanced! But only by female characters, apologies to the all the good gentlemen. He doesn’t flirt first but once he is flirt with. He is flattered and toys around a the possibility before fully going for it. Once he committed though he stays.

I don’t fully know what reward means so I’ll assume this means how far the relationship goes. He’ll fully commit to the character but he expects them to commit back or no deal. Crodek is more private, so most romance content is banter. With some physical displays of protection and affection. The procterion hauling the character to safely, shielding with his body type of stuff. The affection is meaningful forehead bumps and the rare hug. Kisses are for total privacy in either a special place or declaration of commitment.

As a regular npc what’s their dialogue?

Crodek doesn’t give opinions he gives statements. Which will happen as reponses to what’s going on.

Occasionall he’ll point out acts or honor skill, or to comment about the the lack of it.

There are a few strategy, war or philosophy saying type stuff he’ll pop out with.

He occasionalmy share a fond memory.

Tagging @blackberry-command-cap, @villainship, @califrey, @queen-scribbles and @kemendin if you’re interested in this challenge.

FINALLLYYYYY 1/3 reference

Very cool

Maverik'a || Action Figure

I commissioned a few months back this action figure of Maverik'a and there she is! Huge props to Old Architect Customs for building her, who's also been nothing but super kind and patient c: If y'all want your Star Wars OCs made into action figures, hit him up on IG! Just keep in mind these take a lot of time and effort.

More pictures of the photoshoot below lol >>>

bonus: Maverik'a angry at Shae (we all know why)

Battery percentage ask for Elvira:

95%. If your character was a smell? What would your character smell like?

(😭😭 this is kinda a weird question but I'm curious now-)

If Elvira was a smell she’d be a light barely there floral scent. A bit like rose in how delicate it is, I’m think the smell would from flower that grows in the Jedi temple on Coruscant.

Thank you for asking, I don’t often describe smells so this was fun.

just out of curiosity... how would Elvira respond if someone that she had locked up managed to escape and caused a lot of damage/killed a lot of people? Would that shake her belief at all that people should always be given a chance to reform, or would she stand by it? What if said person killed or hurt someone she cares about?

In the case of someone she imprisoned escaping and causing harm. Elvira would try to personally stop them or right the situation. How she does this depends on time, if the threat needs to stopped quickly and efficiently then she’s likely to end their life.

If she has more time she would try to make the best of the situation in a more tailored manor. Offering path way that is specific the escaped individual needs and the needs local populace.

It might take her while emotionally come to grinds with her role in the event, depending on what happens.

side note

At the beginning of the jedi consular story Elvira started out firmly believing in second chances. Now at the end of the class story she a bit more jaded, her ideal to preserve life and encourage growth is still the same. She just now knows that that best she can do doesn’t always meet this ideal.

Thank you for both of your questions it gave me some good stuff to chew through.

This is my very messy design process for Bumblebee. I wanted to incorporate Micheal Bay’s antenna and doorwings. Which tie into to his namesake. Plus they’re very expressive, and I feel that expressiveness suits Bee.

I read Bob Budiansky g1 profile on Bee to try and understand him better. It said that he was in espionage, which surprised me since he is usually depicted as a Scout that graduates to warrior. Interestingly his weakness on the profile was being physically frail. So a small, quick ambush fighter was born.

The thing that really got the creative juices flowing was that he has good sensors for on land and WATER reconnaissance. So here is an aquatically capable Bumblebee.

His altmode is his cybertron one from the g1 cartoon. It hovers by the use of magnets since cybertron is a metal planet, this is quite handy. The magnets are the blue circles.

Bee has vents to cool his internals. His vents have the added ability to provide propulsion for liquid based travel. On his alt mode these vents serve as his front grill and back grill, allowing him to shoot forward and backward. At speed.

These propulsion vents can be used in root mode as well they’re on the back of his calf’s, forearms, shoulders, and upper back.

His door wings are on the back of his vehicle mode where they function like the tail feathers of a bird.

Mictransformations! His alt mode has one where the ‘wing’ part of his alt mode segments into four independent parts. This gives him more mobility for uneven terrain. These can adjust to currents (land, sea, EM) while simultaneously gathering information on said currents.

Overall Bee is entirely a multi terrain information gatherer. Perfect for infiltration and espionage. Which accomplishes my design goals. Also I love the fact that his alt mode looks like both a string ray and a pupa. It’s awesome!

Zenith Dynamics

He is bit tougher to figure out for me. Grit and willingness act to are what he inadvertently teaches Elvira. Zenith has Mad Eye Moody’s mindset of constant vigilance.

This trait in particular is necessary for Elvira to learn from because of her penchant for being a being distant. To play the roles of diplomat, consular, duelist, and Barsen’thor she has be alert! Through Zenith she sees what it looks like actually do it.

What Elvira desperately want to provide Zenith with is a more developed vision. She wants to show Zenith what peace is. Because Zenith literally has no conceptualization of what peace even is. She would love for Zenith to reach a point where he see a future that involves more than fighting the empire and standing up for Belmorra. Elvira does want forcibly change him being a fighter but does what him to fighter and… whatever he chooses to be like his potential interest in politics.

You know writing this out allowed me to see why I was struggling to figure out Zenith dynamics. I was trying feel out how he’d interact with other crew member domestically and I realized Zenith doesn’t know how to be domestic! Cause of his upbringing. I guess the dynamic would be being awkward as he learns how live outside of being a soldier.

My prompt was: Felix and Elvira finding treasure together.
