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)

SWTOR OCs Infodump (pt I)

I wanted to introduce 4 of my swtor ocs- more aliens coming after I finalize the character designs! Feel free to skip around and read whatever is interesting to you and let me know if there's anything you'd be interested to hear more about <3

Under the cut:

My Echani Cousular Aura'dann

My Smuggler Kai

My Sith Warriors Alykaa (canon) and Hrafen (side OC; not part of class stories)

+little sketches of each <3

Aura’dann (Jedi Consular)- Aura’dann grew up with her Echani, who gave her values of passion and justice. She carried these values into her time as a Jedi when she joined the order at 17. When she left for Tython, she had already been practicing and learning from the force on her own. Aura used her force abilities to become a great, if unconventional, fighter in her community. Among the Echani, combat was a near-sacred art, making Aura’s accomplishments all the more esteemed. Despite all this, Aura had a thirst for more and knew she had plenty of untapped potential outside of what she could teach herself.

As a Jedi, Aura’dann could often forget that the force was more than a tool for her to hone. She always struggled to focus inward and sense the spiritual workings around her, which sometimes left her feeling out of place among her Jedi peers. Aura is also visionary at heart, and craves to serve the Republic and strives to be a shining example for the Jedi.

Kai (Smuggler) is honestly a little doofus. A little himbo goofball, if you will. Upon contact it wouldn't seem he has much to offer, but truthfully Kai is very cunning and will find a creative way out of any predicament. He's always ready for a challenge and can hardly be stopped once he has his eyes set on a goal.

Behind his eccentric personality, Kai really does have a heart of gold. Kai is a strong extravert and will do everything he can to uplift the spirits of others. He's loud and flamboyant and the life of the party. 

To be honest I don’t really have any kind of crazy backstory for him; Kai just exists to be my little goober man and to live out my platinum-blond shag dreams for me.

Alykaa (Sith Warrior)- After Alykaa’s mother passed, she was destined to be her family’s only child. She was part of a kind of Sith royalty, her family legacy having strong influence in the Empire’s affairs. Being the only child that could maintain respect for the family, the responsibility that Alykaa carried was clear from a young age. Her single father, although barely involved in her upbringing, made sure Alykaa knew she had to succeed.

Alykaa grew to be a fierce warrior, with an unmistakably fiery essence. Desperate to prove herself, Alykaa was put on a pedestal from a young age, being a poster child for the perfect imperial. She was always a strong patriot and held her devotion to the empire second only to her family.

Alykaa is ruthless and unforgiving, especially if someone is in her way or acts against her values. For this reason, she fit perfectly into the role of emperor’s wrath and served as a formidable force against those who stood in the empire’s way. This is also the reason why things… didn’t work out with Malavai Quinn. She was uncertain she could ever find a worthy partner. That is, until she met Hrafen who effortlessly shattered her understanding of the galaxy. There was something about his indifference that compelled her. Hrafen was so unimpressed with her power, it should have been infuriating. But there was also a kind of understanding in Hrafen, that Alykaa couldn’t shake. He was able to see untouched parts of her with such casualty, being the first to truly see who she was.

Hrafen (non-canon Sith Warrior) is known for being totally unserious. He can never seem to accept or trust any authority and was known to wander on his own unconventional path. Relentlessly speculative, Hrafen questions everyone and everything, which turns a lot of people off to him. This proves to be a good filter to finding like-minded people, however, and when Hrafen meets someone who he can have respectful debate/conversation with, he is quick to call that person friend. Despite his off-putting demeanor, Hrafen is a big people-person and has a genuine fascination with people and understanding how they work. Hrafen ends up collecting a peculiar crowd of people who are willing to question the Empire’s authority. 

Similar to Alykaa, Hrafen’s family had strong connections in the Sith Empire, although the expectations were never so strong. While Alykaa had it hammered into her mind that she needed to support and honor her family, Hrafen’s family was never so desperate. Being sith purebloods, they already had an inherent and effortless leg up in society.

If you're interested, I'm taking asks from here (details) and here (situations)!

Tagging my swtor pals: @califrey @fernfrond-inks @blackberry-command-cap @swtorpadawan and special shoutout to @frauleiiin for her kindness and encouragement.

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 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.

Tharan Cedrax Dynamics

Tharan plays the role of adversary to Elvira. He is always the first to question her methods. They spend a lot of time bickering, knocking the other down, only poke them back up into standing. He gets her to question herself and she is able to the same for him.

The thing that really makes this dynamic work is that fundamental both are chasing the same thing. Truth. Tharan does so as scientist and Elvira as Jedi. So even though there approaches are quite different, they still are still pursuing the same thing.

Elvira treasures that she can have intellectual sparing matches with him. He is the one who is most eager to play a card/board game or debate. Because of this he can grow her in a way that the other crew members can’t.

He does have a lot of faults which Elvira and the rest of the crew are definitely aware of. True to path as jedi shadow Elvira’s just gives Tharan little nudges to act more selflessly. Where he is shallow, she is deep. Tharan is able to pull her out the weight of the force to be more present it the moment. Which something Elvira needs.

The rough and tumble combat medic comes through strong.

A couple more Emryn outfits! I really like how rugged the brown one looks in particular.

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.

After a long time of not posting, mulling over my fic work, deal with personal issues, I have returned!

Here’s my SWTOR Light-sided sith, Kai’theria! I’ve been listening to Pet Sematary by Starcrawler and kept think about her.
