a forlorn ember

I'll still never have a nice OC page, and this page will probably always be ‘under construction.’

I try my best to tag spoilers for new swtor content (when we have new content), but I'm pretty bad at tagging anything that could be considered spoilers for older content and for class stories. My general tagging scheme is "swtor [thing that's being tagged]", whether that be the name of an expansion, the name of an origin story, or the expansion number when content is new. When I post about playing the actual game, I use the tag ‘november plays swtor’. I often avoid using just the general ‘swtor’ tag because I feel like it’s sometimes a minefield. Character tags are ‘oc: [character name]’ but not all of them have a lot to be found (and some I forgot if I was using their full or nickname).

The only swtor fic I think I still have publicly available because it’s the only one I’m proud of: it’s the way that you are and the way I’ll forever be (tulia/zhorrid with agent/hand of Jadus spoilers and major character death)

(I also went through a spree of deleting almost everything I had ever posted of my own writing because I really don’t want my writing ever to be fed into an LLM, especially without my consent or knowledge, even if it’s not good or interesting, that would just piss me off. Unfortunately that means a number of my fics and wips are entirely lost but I would rather that than feed the machine.)

ffxiv

Teshi Sen

Kiyoyo Kiyo

Q’ora Neva

I haven’t played enough ffxiv yet to decide how I’m going to tag the various expansions (if I even end up going beyond a free trial account), but so far it’s just “november plays ffxiv” and oc tags

gw2

Euanduna

Farenne

Disassembler Eubi

Daghrun

Taira Sootpaw

I’m not really active on gw2 right now, but I am still fond of my characters there, even if I didn’t really get that far on any of them before abandoning them. I don’t really have a tagging system for gw stuff, but I’ll work on it if I ever start posting it again.

palia

Chatelaine Ath

I haven’t posted much of my Palia stuff here, because I had been posting it to my other blog, so I don’t really have a tagging system for it, but if anyone else plays, feel free to say hello or drop in to my plot sometime. My refer-a-friend link if you want to join and get me some in-game loot :)

Tulia Neperi

Hair and skin almost the same bronze color, bright turquoise eyes

Hair worn in low bun, but I committed oops, has to smoosh under helmets

Always looks either bored or judgy

Corner of mouth typically has a slight sneer, has to remind herself she’s gonna get early wrinkles, has to stay a “pretty alien”

Only has minimal cheek tattoos, highlighting her sharp cheekbones

It doesn’t help that the character I ran through is… canon-complicit at best. Tulia was never Cipher Nine, but she was always in the periphery of the main Agent storyline and became the Hand of Jadus, so I wanted to bring her through all of the Jadus-related content in the hopes that there would be some small payout there.

And there were at least some tiny crumbs to be had for Hand of Jadus agents, like a line about how the Imperial delegation were ‘lucky Jadus betrayed [me],’ suggesting that if he hadn’t, the Commander would have returned to his service, to which Lana responds that Acina (or Vowrawn, presumably, depending on your playthrough) and Krovos know your history with Jadus and want to punish you for it. But then that was kind of it. There’s no real closure for the Agent and Jadus. If you tell your team that no one touches Jadus or that you will personally handle him, everyone agrees with you, but that doesn’t matter, because once you actually get to the heart of the fortress on Kar Shian, it’s the Malgus show.

Shae’s death felt like yet another forced companion death. Sure, it was a touching scene, but like. Why do you have to kill off companions all the damn time? At least none of our class companions are even around doing anything to be in the line of fire, I guess.

I had seen fan theories leading up to the patch that running Nul’s machine would reveal a Force sensitivity in our non-Force-sensitive player characters. And it did make for a cool cinematic moment. But I really don’t know how practically they’re gonna do anything with that moving forward. I’ve been let down way too many times by the promise of ‘your choices matter!’ only to be shoehorned back into the same result from every side.

Still kind of rotating some of it, but not like. overly so, I guess.

I think my favorite part was seeing Maiya Vix again. I’m glad she’s still alive. (for those unfamiliar, she’s Lord Hargrev’s assistant on Oricon, helping him manage the troops and ground operations when you arrive. If I had to guess, resurrecting an old model NPC who is already voiced by one of your main NPC actors is probably easier than making a new one from scratch but still, I always liked her.)
