Meet Elvira Gwandarae

This is my first Swtor character Elvira Gwandarae. She deep yet detached diplomat whose seeks to truly understand the Jedi Code for herself. Her drive to grasp the essence of the force which flows through her and alters her life is unquenchable. It characterized her journey forward.

So far she has a ship dubbed The Visionary’s Resolve. Which only has three crew members besides herself, Qyzen, Tharan, and Holiday. I imagine they’ve got quite the dynamic going on already.

They’ve currently finished chapter one of the consulars story it has become incredibly personal for Elvira who truly respected Youn Par. She incredibly angry for the destruction that the plague caused and is determined to prevent it from harming anything more then it already has.

Here this first outfit that I’m proud of I’ve so far. It’s her stealthy/operative outfit yet still feels Jedi.

I hope to share more about Elvira and the other characters I make for Swtor. Since it’s been a delightful so far.

Note: Since my old masterlist is getting notes again (and I'm hosting @tbb-appreciation-week this year), I thought it's a good time to release a new version with a lot more resources. If any of you know another site or thing that it's missing from the list, let me know and I'll include it!! [Altho, I'm getting this close 🤏 to the hyperlinks limit on this thing 😆]

Note 2: To avoid tagging the 3 people from whom I got multiple resources repeatedly, I've placed 1-3 asterisks between square brackets after the links, depending on the OP. I give the respective credit to them in a legend at the end of the post.

Check her #medicposting tag and you'll find tons of information. Also check #star wars reference and her art tag while you're at it.

WRITING IN GENERAL (For those who don't want to die like Stormtroopers)

SlickWrite: Completely free; online. Checks grammar, punctuation, flow, and writing style according to different settings (including fiction writing).

ProWritingAid: [RECOMMENDED] One of the most thorough online proofreader I've ever used. Although when using a free account gives extremely thorough feedback, with +20 different in-depth reports, for only the first 500 words. However, you can earn a premium account license (for a year or for life) if you get 10 or 20 new users signing up for free; (if you wouldn't mind doing so using the link above and help me earn mine, please). The settings allow you to check your writing according to your needs, from general to formal to creative. It has a bonus that you can check depending on the genre you're writing. For example, in creative, you can choose romance or sci-fiction (there are 14 sub-genre in total). And just like google docs, you can share a document, and people can view, comment or edit it too.

LanguageTool: [RECOMMENDED] Another excellent proofreader. It also has a word limit in free accounts, but if you use the add-on for Google Docs, it counts each page as a new document, so hitting the word limit is nearly impossible. It helps you to rewrite a sentence (3 a day), even if it doesn't raise any flags; it's very useful for when your sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn't feel quite right.

Grammarly, Hemingway Editor: No so great, but they do the basic job.

Character Interaction: Vette

To Vette, Crodek is very off putting, because he he values her and treats her with more dignity then she’s accustomed too. While still being very much a Sith and dangerous killing machine. Sure Crodek is decent enough to her but he hasn’t truly freed her.

This man bargained with Vette for her freedom and did give it to her. Only when on his ship where it’s assured that she has no where else to go.

Crodek very much considers Vette his property, so in his mind he wants to grow her as much as possible. This gives him a vested interest in her well being. Which was part of the reason he removed the slave collar with the other reason being a demonstration how he keeps his word.

Vette understandably feels stifled by this behavior. So she holds her ground by using jokes and commentary to point out the holes in his logic. This aggressive sort of verbal grappling does actually end developing both of them into more competent and sure individuals.

This dynamic of those will continue to unfold and perhaps Crodek may grow enough to fully give Vette her freedom. At the moment it seems unlikely that Crodek will romance Vette as they’re busy enough as frenemies.

it's been a minute since i did a kadmus' dromund kaas apartment tour and it's gotten a lot of updates since the last one bc i take crafting in swtor seriously now and i'm almost finished with it!

My Hearth of Stars

from the tips of my fingers, the cosmos yawns

each star a hope. suspended in its web 

so immense, so small

lost in it glory, yet lost to space 

just grant me the strength 

to shield just one star

its warmth so distant

it’s an ache that never goes 

for there is an emptiness even a soul can’t fill

please just let me be a shield 

that defends what I can’t reach

so that others may have a hearth of their own

maybe by faith, I’ll finally feel 

the warmth, I never knew

Galactic Standard Time Measurement

60 Seconds = 1 minute

60 minutes = 1 hour

24 hours = 1 day

Galactic Standard Calendar

5 days = 1 week

7 weeks = 1 month

35 days = 1 month

368 days = 1 year

10 months + 3 Fete (Festival) weeks + 3 holidays = 1 year

Fete/Festival Weeks

New Year Fete Week = first five days of the new year (takes place before the first month)

Festival of Life =  five days between the sixth and seventh months. It was marked by parties, get-togethers, and gift-giving.

Festival of Stars =five days between the ninth and tenth months of the year that celebrates interstellar space travel. It was marked by vacations to other worlds most often.

Days of the Week

Primeday (first day of the week)

Centaxday (second day)

Taungsday (third day)

Zhellday (fourth day)

Benduday (fifth/last day of the week)

The Galactic Standard Calendar is based on the luno-solar calendar of Coruscant (from before the official founding of the Empire). It is the ‘standard’ in both the Republic and the Empire for basic measurements. However, there are many, many variations for various species, planets, etc. This is just the ‘standard’ used; similar to measurements of weight, etc. 

Basically, this is not the ‘only calendar’ but the one used most often by governments, the military, etc. to be the ‘standard’. I thought it might be useful for people writing or roleplaying in the Star Wars galaxies to have a rough idea.

NOTE: There is mention in some sources of a 12 month/368 day calendar, but it doesn’t mention length of weeks, months, etc. other than ‘30-31 days’ so basically seems to be a ‘real life calendar’. I’m not 100% sure which is considered ‘canon’ so I choose to list the one that was a bit more ‘different’ for fun.

Thoughts about Miraluka Society

We'll probably never get actual Miraluka lore, i doubt disney will even acknowledge their existance. So I thought it'd be fun to imagine what their society would be like.

Miraluka forever see through the force, their connection to the force is so strong they can feel major events from other planets. Their vision allows them to see through objects, see the force, etc.

Thinking about this, implies their buildings and ships wouldn't need windows. Windows are structrual weaknesses and to a MIraluka would be irrelevant asf, as walls are basically windows. Even lights wouldn't be needed, the concept of light and dark would be entirely different to a Miraluka to others.

As their entire race sees through objects, things like nudity would mean very little to Miraluka. Although they can see the clothes you're wearing, they can also see through it (not intentionally). Because of how open their views are (pun intended) Miraluka would generally live amongst their own kind, non-miraluka would most likely find it awkward to live amongst the Miraluka because of just how much they see. Fortunately Miraluka are very emotional and understanding of other species, they wear coverings over their eyesockets because other species find it very offputting.

Because they can't see colours, their art would be based around the force or music. Miraluka art would be less about sight and more about feelings, their art would radiate certain emotional or spiritual feelings through the force. To a nonforce sensitive, it may look bland but they'd undoubtably be able to feel the emotions off of their art.

There are many objects in the Star Wars galaxy which are force sensitive, the most common are kyber crystals used for lightsabers but as all living things have the force, plants would be very beautiful to Miraluka and it's probably the only things they use to liven up their homes. Gardening and tending to plants would be considered a spiritual practice and very cathartic to a Miraluka.
