Qyzen Fess Dynamics

Nothing quite like Slavery and being denied learning to make you crave it the moment you’re free. Now she is a true master of ancient knowledge.

For Aresyl 📚and 🎮?

Thanks so much for the ask!!

📚 BOOKS — what level of education has your oc most recently completed/is currently in (GED, undergraduate, grad school, phd, etc)?

Aresyl has a really complicated education history. In her youth she was pretty much taught the bare minimum- she could read and count, at least. As soon as she was able, she made up for lost times by reading a lot. Around this time her fascination with history was sparked and grew an obsession with learning from the past. Aresyl was head of the Sphere of Ancient Knowledge on the Dark Council, making her the historic advisor for the Empire. She’s one of the only people in the galaxy that can fluently read, write, and speak the ancient sith language. So, in terms of history (especially pertaining to the force and the sith empire) she’d definitely be PhD. She was also able to catch up on reading pretty easily, but in terms of math and science… not so much.

🎮 VIDEO GAME CONTROLLER — what are three of your oc's favorite hobbies?

-Aresyl loves to spend her free time studying! After living so long without any education, she craved to read up on as much as she could, overcompensating for lost time. Aresyl spends most of her free time studying history, politics, and occasionally (as a special treat) philosophy. She’s a huge history buff, but she also spends a lot of time brushing up on galactic languages.

-By the time Aresyl became Alliance commander, she’d grown a large and genuine interest in people and will spend an unusual amount of time getting to know her employees/the people she works with. Her interest might come across as disarming considering her cold demeanor, but after spending so much time in the Sith Empire, Aresyl learned to quickly identify and respect the good in people. It became fun and important for Aresyl to get to know the people around her.

-Theron and Aresyl are two very busy people, so they formed a silent pact to spend time together going on casual strolls away from the Alliance. It started when Theron noticed how frequently Aresyl would wander around Odessen on her own. Theron would offer to join, and Aresyl enthusiastically accepted. Overtime, it became an expected pastime. Aresyl would mention needing some air, and Theron would meet her outside. These walks were always important to them, because it was one of the only chances they had to slow down away from all the drama. It was a chance for the conversation to steer away from politics or galaxy-saving, although some days the work weighed so heavily on them it seemed like they didn’t have anything else to talk about. On those days they would happily walk without exchanging a word- the important thing was just that they had each other's comfort.

I made a very twisted choice with Crodek yesterday and…it fits him.

Crodek isn’t the happiest about working with Timmns. So when they finally catch the dark lord their after. Crodek refuses to kill her, making Timmns choose between letting her go or killing her. So bloodies his hand and conscience which he feels the weight so much more keenly as a Jedi.

As messed up as this choice is it fits Crodek surprisingly well.

This whole thing was a slight accident on my part since you don’t know what you’re getting with some of the dialogue options in Swtor.

Crodek Ger’Nok

Titles: Sith Lord,

Home Planet: Dromund Kaas

Age: ?

Backstory: His father Ragnarr was a Jedi knight before falling in love another Cathar, the lovely Nenasu. So Ragnarr renounced the Jedi and followed his passions to the dark side. Although he went on to become full Sith, Ragnarr’s Jedi ideals of duty, temperance, and community are still with him. Especially so in his family life as the father of a litter of five boys.

Fighting Style: Vengeance Juggernaut/?

Crodek favors the simplicity of single lightsaber as it allows him to focus on more what he can improve on while fighting.

Crodek is unsurprisingly for a Sith an adept user of form VII: Juyo. The sheer aggression that juyo expresses is powerful, but precisely directed and it can be stronger still. This is what Crodek’s measured light saber assault exemplifies.

He is despite his considerable bulk, Crodek is incredibly fast, leaping, and dashing around constantly. He has the reflex’s and senses of a cathar with the force pumping it all up to hundred.

Relationships:

Love Interest: none (at the moment)

Family: Ragnarr (father), Nenasu (mother), Tovah , Ryosh, Jarivan, Norik (all brothers).

Apprentices: Jaesa Willsaam

Best Friends: none

Friends: Vette (dubiously), Malavai Quinn, Pierce, Broonmark.

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!

Here’s a squiggle of my Jedi Consular while I ramble.

The subject of today’s ramble has to do with the captured enemies that the consular either get handed over to the republic and or to the Jedi counsel.

Elvira does not spare these people out of a sense mercy, she spared them out a sense of justice.

She spares the life of her enemies and turns them into custody where they have all the tools they need to change their own lives if they so choose. The difficulty of reform is that it takes work. They have to put in the effort to use those tools and if they have no desire to change they’re stuck as a prisoner essentially. A prisoner of their own choices really.

To be clear these prisoners are treated well, but from Elvira grim understanding all you can do, is extend a hand and hope the other person extends theirs too. Sometime people don’t reach out their own even if she wanted it otherwise.

Yeah this, I feel like a lot the of the Jedi are boring and suffocatingly dogmatic complains come from not really understanding this idea.

I think the most frustrating/disheartening misconception I often see about Star Wars, and the Jedi specifically, is the misguided notion that love and attachment are one and the same. Which in turn leads to fundamental misunderstandings of who the Jedi are and what their teachings on non-attachment mean. While you absolutely can be attached to those you love, you do not need attachment to have love for someone. That's as true in Star Wars as it is in real life. The reason that Jedi teach non-attachment is because attachment leads to suffering, and suffering is a path to the Dark Side. This, like many other facets of Jedi philosophy, takes inspiration from Buddhism. Buddhism teaches non-attachment for the same reason: to mitigate or eliminate suffering, which is caused by greed, delusion, and/or aversion. This does not mean that the Jedi are forbidden from loving others. They are forbidden from developing attachments to others, which is why the Order, by the time of the Clone Wars, has outright banned romantic relationships. It's hard to be in a romantic relationship without attachment. But Jedi can love, and do. We see beautiful friendships throughout Star Wars. Parental-like relationships between Master and Padawan. Sibling-like relationships between Master and Padawan. Outside of the Clone Wars era, especially in the High Republic, we often see the Jedi in acts of loving service. Obviously, what that looks like varies from individual to individual, but that loving compassion for all living things is absolutely instrumental to being a Jedi.

Haven’t shown wildrider some love in a while

This head cannon has been immediately adopted!

sometimes i think about how jro said that cybertronians are naturally v social and that’s why everyone on the lost light has a roommate and idk i love that bit of worldbuilding so much

For the oc asks: not-so-nice edition : alone for the swtor OC of your choice!

I’ll answer this one for my sith warrior Crodek. When he is alone he tends be pretty still. Doing things like reading, meditating, and just sitting down to watch nature. He likes being by himself.

He grew up with four brothers and his parents so his first (and so far only) time really experiencing loneliness was Korriban. Where he was the special acolyte who got a free pass there this caused him to be a target of other acolyte. Which gave him a lot of anger that he funneled into determination to out preform them.

If he was lonely for long period of time. Crodek would blame himself for ending up situation to begin with. While at the same time he’d contumely rationalize whys and how’s of his loneliness. He’d sort of mentally tear into himself to the point where whittles down his pride enough to go out and get help.

Thank you for the question.

Elvira Gwandarae

Titles: Jedi Master, Barsen’thor, Paladin of House Organa.

Home Planet: Alderaan

Age:

About: Reserved and distant Elvira often acts as an anchor in times of hardship. She has a nack for gently telling the people want they need to hear, even if they don’t want to hear it.

Driven by insatiable need to know, and an aching sense of hope she follows the force with her ship the Visionary’s Resolve. Her journey has deepened her belief and understanding of the Jedi code. Though there are times when falls short of her own ideals, this is always something she struggles against.

Backstory: Elvira’s mother worked as a high end escort for Alderaan nobles and caught feelings for client from house Alde. Elvira was the result of this union though her mother elected not to tell the father or anybody else about Elvira. As she didn’t want to risk her child being taken away from her.

The first 6 years of Elvira’s life was with her mother. Where she learned manners and how to act professionally, as well as how to look nice. Then the Jedi order found her.

Because she was taken in a letter age she was always older than peers. This causes her to take on a mantle of maturity at a young age. She has a very strong connection to the force that makes her feel too connected to everything which leads to being overwhelmed. Elvira has a distinctly distant presence as if viewing events from afar as method of coping.

Fighting Style: Infiltration Shadow/?

She’s an infiltration shadow fighting the same way she negotiates by slightly nudging things in the direction she what them to go. Combat isn’t something that she rushes into but when she is fighting Elvira will give herself every possible advantage.

Her lightsaber form of choice is Niman, because of its versatility. Which for diplomat who never knows when a negotiation will go south is a must. It also the form that mixes the force with blade work best and provides more space for creativity. This some that Elvira values and the force heavily guides in combat so this style is very much an expression of that.

Elvira’s particular brand of Niman borrows some inspiration from Makashi. Not because she is skilled with form but because she hold an option that is most elegant of all the forms. This influence makes much better at one on one combat so much of her force work mid combat is forcing the enemy to face one at a time where she strongest.
