*Holds Up Like A Proud Parent,* -This Is My Boy,, This One Is Mine-,, You May Have Seen Him Running Around

Fanart of my brother’s Path of the Giant Barbarian, Hawthorn. Who has some truly terrific muscles.

I’m really enjoying this look for Crodek, I plan to refine it the future, but dang he does look good in hoods. Catnan doesn’t need a mask when he’s got this face.

Turned out good!

SWTOR OC sketches! Pt.3

I've got 3 sketches freshly out of the oven! I drew @nekorinnie's best birb Evo, @catohphm's sweet guy Fernie and @blackberry-command-cap's hippie smuggler Shae'zena!

Evo was truly amazing to draw, I've always wanted to draw him in his Asizi (original @nekorinnie's species) form and I'm really proud of this drawing! I really like Fernie, I think he's a cutie patootie so I'm really happy how he turned out c:! Also, a hippie smuggler? I just had to draw her lol.

Again, if y'all want to color these sketches feel free to do so just be sure to not alter the original drawing (like tracing, removing the signature, etc.) and to give credit! Also if you want the uncompressed file dm me!

Part. 1 & Part. 2

Looks snazzy, his style fits him really well.

All of Dhamari's current outfits in ESO (ten slots is not enough I need more I beg). It's interesting to see the patterns and preferences that emerge when they're all laid out together. For colours, he favours blues, greys, browns, sometimes purples. Stylistically he can go with either short or long sleeves, but always long pants, and he vastly prefers to have his toes free, with an inclination towards Khajiit or generally cat-like foot-wear (something something he's actually a feral cat in sea elf form). He doesn't like flowy fashions OR bulky armour - mobility is extremely important. And he ALWAYS has his wrists covered to hide the scars on them.

💭 💜🩹 for the swtor OC of your choice!

Thanks for the ask!

^Very rough sketches of my OCs to give you something to imagine

💭 THOUGHT BALLOON — what is your oc's MBTI, enneagram, and/or other personality aspects (if known/interested in)?

I’m actually going to answer this for several swtor OCs- you know how I love 16 Personalities!

Aresyl (Sith Inquisitor) is an INTP-A: She’s very preserved and quietly inquisitive, always questioning both the galaxy around her and the abstract nature of it. In true INTP nature, she seems totally detached from the present, lost in her own head. She's also very spontaneous and doesn’t believe there’s much of a point in planning when her reality and goals are constantly shifting. However, being assertive (-A), Aresyl feels confident in her ability to navigate her adventurous mind and find the solutions she needs to.

Katynn (Imperial Agent) is an ISTP-T: She’s always restless to explore the galaxy and get her hands on new experiences. Katynn’s fiercely observant (S) and thinking (T), making her perfect for her imperial agent role. She’s able to examine the world around her and decode it with decisiveness. Katynn’s introverted (I) and turbulent (-T) nature manifest in her loner mentality- always straying from the norm either because she doesn’t care for rules or because she’s afraid of growing close to others.

Alykaa (Sith Warrior) is an ISTJ-T: she’s a firm proponent of tradition and upholding order. ISTJ’s easily accept the standards of their society, which is not a problem with a moral upbringing, but this just lead Alykaa on a path to becoming the ruthless and unforgiving Emperor's Wrath.

Hrafen (Sith Warrior) is an ENTP-A: he’s at constant debate with others (and sometimes himself, although not as much as Aresyl) but is unable to take any argument seriously. Although his constant questioning of others often seems brash, it comes from a place of deep unseriousness on his part since he sees all viewpoints as temporary. Being a constant contrarian, he could never trust any society to be worthy of conforming to, although he understands his deep need for community.

Kai (Smuggler) is an ESTP-A: He’s always looking for a new reckless adventure to share with good company. He has a kind of reckless, self-assured nature that could bring him to the top as fast as it could ruin him. Despite this, he remains purely rational and never lets person feelings get in the way of making the right decision.

Aura’dann (Jedi Counselor) is an ESTJ-T: Similarly to Alykaa, Aura’dann is a strong upholder of order and values. Aura’dann and Alykaa are kind of two sides of the same coin, but instead of growing up to be a ruthless sith, Aura’dann is a stark defendant of the republic. However, Aura’dann does not follow the Jedi blindly and instead follows the teachings of the Echani people she grew up with. She was never able to accept the Jedi’s strict rules and opted to keep to the rules she had already lived by. Aura’dann takes it upon herself to be a good example among the Jedi and to the republic with brutal honesty.

💜 PURPLE HEART — what is your oc's ancestry/genetic background?

I kind of talked about this already, but Aura’dann is Echani and grew up in a strong familial community until she joined the Jedi Order at 17. She felt the need to escape her home since she had a quarrelsome relationship with her family (Aura’dann has very strong opinions, which proved difficult when it came to making family compromises). Luckily, she has so much love for them that Aura’dann was able to keep in touch.

Alykaa is part of a strong bloodline of sith and her family is a defining aspect of her personhood. Her mother wasn’t present in her youth, but he father hammered in high expectations early in Alykaa’s life. She always felt the need to do her family proud and being a shining example among the sith order.

Hrafen, being a literal sith pureblood, obviously also has a strong family connection to the sith, yet is less bothered by it. In part due to his skeptical nature, he never felt the need to be chained to expectations. He doesn’t have much to do with his family- they weren’t a particularly nurturing bunch anyways.

🩹 ADHESIVE BANDAGE — does your oc have any physical and/or mental disabilities?

(I’m going to include mental illnesses/disorders here)

Katynn nearly lost her hearing completely on a mission early on in her career which involved a partner being reckless with explosives. Fortunately, Katynn was later able to pretty much restore her hearing to normal with the use of her cybernetic implants. Katynn also has borderline personality disorder (BPD), which includes having unstable moods, behaviors, and relationships. She has a lot of difficulty letting people in because of this.

Aresyl has inattentive ADHD, further contributing to her detached presence. Aresyl’s history as a slave is reflected in her struggles with PTSD and depression.

Aura’dann has chronic migraines, mostly because I have chronic migraines and need at least one character that can bear my pain with me.

Transformers Hound Headcannons

His Awe

Hound is blown away by the small things in life like how molecules make metal he appreciates how delicate their structures have to for life to just work. To him the fact this can echo from molecular level up the levels of an ecosystem. He never gets tired of how miraculous it is that things just work and that work well enough for things to just keep living.

Hound carries this awe with him as an insatiable curiosity. He can see the miracle in things working! Enough to listen appreciatively has Prowl ranting about strategy, Wheeljack gushing about what could work, and Mirage literature takes. All of these things are genuinely incredible to Hound.

He always wants whoever he talking to tell him more about ever it is their going on about. As a result of being a very engaged listener he has a lot friends amount the Ark crew. Even with difficult bots like Cliffjumper and Mirage. Hounds ability to always talk to people can be annoying since he has held two separate conversations at the same time before. To the irritation the two bots trying to talk to him.

This curiosity is what drives him. Drives Hound to explore, to make friends, and to lay on his stomach in the mud to watch the fish doing their thing for hours at a time. This curiosity and constant learning that goes with it is part of where is his reigned tracking skills come from.

His cause

It is this constant amazement that life just lives, that Hound fights for during the war. This is cause he chooses to risk his life for, this is what he comforts himself with on nights where even the stars are dark.

This part of his being is why Hound treasures Earth. There is so much living in the earth from the people to the worms beneath their feet. It just blows Hounds mind. Because it’s so beautiful, and so preciously balanced it’s…every Cybertron isn’t. Was but is no longer. So Hound will treasure and record as much of Earth’s life as possible.

He’d treat a weed he dug up like it’s sacred. While carefully photographing and documenting it, for his holograms. Then he’d gently replant it before going to the Ark to reconnect and share.

Authors note: I just think there could be this beauty to Hound so now you all get to have it too.

SWTOR Ages of the Companions

I search for these often. So it might be helpful to have them in a single document. I don’t know if it is stated somewhere, but I myself interpret the ages as those the companions have when you first meet them.

These are the ages as stated by the SWTOR Encyclopedia:

Trooper Aric Jorgan           30 Elara Dorne          26 Tanno Vik              34 (enlistment records suspected of falsification) Yuun                     28 M1-4X                     -

Jedi Knight Fideltin Rusk          40 Lord Scourge       300+ Kira Carsen            20 Doc                         28 T7-01                   200+ years in service

Jedi Consular Felix Iresso              31 Nadia Grell              22 Zenith                      36 Tharan Cedrax        29 Qyzen Fess             unknown (claims to be middle-aged)

Imperial Agent Vector Hyllus            26 Scorpio                     age of programming unknown, current chassis  < 5 Raina Temple           24 Kaliyo Djannis          29 (unconfirmed) Eckard Lokin            65 (unconfirmed)

In the far distance my father coughs weakly

And scares the cat off of my lap completely

This is some serious food for thought.

ya know, chapter one of the Jedi Consular story is actually really sad if you take a lightside path. You have this character who barely gets to be a knight before it’s rushing off and their Masters life is suddenly in their hands and then before they really have time to process that, it’s off to save other Jedi because they are the only one who knows how to save them. The next months are spent fighting your own people who mock, and belittle, and insult you, and your just constantly reaching out and trying and  and it’s not meant honestly because they’re sick but I mean that’s going to wear on a person after a bit, especially a young Jedi who may not even be fully sure of their place in the order yet.

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.
