I’m Really Enjoying This Look For Crodek, I Plan To Refine It The Future, But Dang He Does Look Good

Jedi Consular Ch 3 Thoughts.

Finished JC’s class story with Elvira. It’s definitely made her more Jaded. Her feelings on the dark side much more defined after dealing with the First Son.

Dealing the possession that is the Empire Child was especially upsetting as she did kill all these people were totally not in their right mind. They lived for lives until being possessed, by helping others only for the First Sun hide that away to turn them into his own personal pawn. The realization that she killed people whose actions weren’t truly there is just haunting.

Yet it was the most decisive way to stop more from being hurt. She was only able to save master Syo. Who will forever be trailed by the wake of destruction he caused when he wasn’t himself.

She did literally everything she could to make the best of tragedy.

SWTOR Encyclopedia - Companions

So someone on reddit posted the link for the extremely hard-to-find SWTOR Encyclopedia - which I recommend checking out because the quality of these screenshots came out really bad for some reason. 

There’s a lot of super interesting stuff there, but the companion pages I found particularly striking. They contain a lot of info that is never given in-game, so I thought they were worth sharing! 

A face for Red that I liked.

What are some of the more creative ways Kai has found to get himself out of a predicament? Or, what's the strangest/funniest predicament he's ever found himself in?

I think this question was meant for Reigrace whose ocs I reblogged. 😂

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 find comedy to be an interesting way of developing a character, so this question is super delightful. Also the way you describe Zarsha’a humor as subtle has given me the realization that British comedy would perfect for the empire.

51% for Kaayden and one other of your choice.

Literally perfect for Kaaydan and I'll do another one for Zarsh'a, thanks for the ask!

Ask

51%. What kind of comedy does your character prefer? Toilet humor, vulgar, slapstick, morbid, etc.

Kaaydan: Sarcasm, mockery, self-enhancing, occasionally dark humor. Overall, typical smuggler humor lol!

Zarsh'a: Sarcasm and dry humor. Due to her Sith past, she kept a lot of the Empire's mannerisms, so her sense of humor is very subtle. People often don't realize when she's joking and just think she's rude.

I want to build

Not run around collecting resources in the hopes that I might use them. So went back to Minecraft to beautify a randomly generated world. Spawned directly into a taiga village which was good cause I wanted to renovate a natural Minecraft village into something touched by me.

The house are turning out good but my difficulty turns out to be from the farming aspect, specifically the animals. For instance I built a nice sheep pen for the Shepard. I turn around to see my sheep galavanting about, …outside of their enclosure

So I rebuilt the fence an putter away to do something else when I return. There is only wool and mutton in my pen, along with a very happy wolf.

Take two to did the trick! and the sheep pen is successfully wolf proofed. Sadly, my struggles didn’t end there. I went on to build a cozy little chicken coup and turn around to find that all my chickens are gone! The only thing in my chicken coop was a fox, who evidently jumped right.

All of this misfortune, has made so that my brother is calling me the worst thing to ever happen to this village, and I wish he was wrong. The many villager that died from the mobs that spawned around me is an unfortunate sacrifice. But I promise it won’t be in sacrifice made in vain. When give them a new home.

The real blow to my pride is that all this happened creative mode where your supposed to be overpowered. Yet I can’t stop the course of nature from wrecking havoc to my village.

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.

Dude this is awesome! Of course they’d love music.

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.

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.
