swtor oc asks, 19. who is their rival? for any/all of your choice? 👀
19. who is their rival?
Novei. Darth Thanaton, though unwillingly. their rivalry frustrated Novei because she was genuinely ready to serve him—she believed he was more knowledgable and capable than Darth Zash, but in the end he turned against her because of “tradition.” while there was no love lost between them, i do think Novei at least somewhat lamented Thanaton’s death because of how unnecessary it was in her eyes. Kur Ha’rangir is another one of Novei’s rivals, the Mandalorian who scarred her face and then sold her off to a Hutt. their rivalry is more…distant and still ongoing.
Hysi. she doesn’t have a rival per se, but she tends to dislike people who dislike her loved ones. for example, Santi and Koth have never gotten along so she dislikes him; she doesn’t like Selaea’s parents; she hates Darth Thanaton even though she’s never even laid eyes on a holopic of him; she dislikes certain members of Supreme Chancellor Rans’s entourage because they dislike Staz; and so on.
Sena. she’s too focused on herself to have a rival 🤡 not in a narcissistic way, but Sena has long since stopped concerning herself with what others think of her and worrying about what they’re doing. the closest to a rival she has is probably Icarus—they’ve been arguing/bickering since day one, and there’s definitely been a few jabs here and there about the Council trusting Icarus to do more jobs than her.
hiiiiii just catching up on sending asks to everyone and i remembered you reblogged this game 👀 i know you said you don’t have a playlist for Katari, but is there a song or song(s) that remind you of them?
ask!
Rise Up - 2WEI & Edda Hayes
I'm speaking to you, don't wait
Whatever's for you, don't wait
Just go and break through, don't wait
The future's for you, so rise up
I think this one is a pretty good fit for Katari because their whole thing is that they want to be a hero. They want to do good in the galaxy and they want to live for something after their parents died. They don't want to let themself rot away on a planet like Mek-sha, doing the morally questionable thing all the time just so they can eat meager rations at the end of the day. Katari has discovered that they have a power that makes them strong, makes them useful to others, and stars do they just want to be worth all the struggles the people around them went through to make sure they were okay. Whether that be against the Empire or the Republic, they're growing up alongside a galaxy that is constantly changing, and they've decided their name should be in the history holos showing that they made some tangible mark on it all.
They just need a little help to get there first, but they won't back down no matter what.
it’s complicated. Staz believes in principles of the Jedi Order and the Republic, adhered to them for most of her life, but really dislikes when politics gets in the way of things. she’s a firm believer that you should help people regardless of the political repercussions, which is why the formation of Eternal Alliance was so important and freeing for her—she’s able to help people without worrying about what the Republic will think, which politicians will be offended, etc. despite this, i don’t think she’d ever return to the Jedi or the Republic. she has a family now, and both “factions,” if you want to call them that, did a number on her 😭
8. How do they feel about the opposite faction?
it’s…not complicated per se, but Staz’s opinions on the Sith have always been in flux. at first, she was very distant from it all. even when actively fighting the Sith and Imperials, when shielding the Jedi Order from a literal dark side plague, the Empire was just this abstract enemy that she was told to fight (granted, she did believe the galaxy would be worse off with the Empire in charge, but still). then, she learned that Syo was the First Son and she was. not okay. especially after he died. Staz became overly aggressive towards the Sith and Imperials, abandoning that legendary Jedi calm and going in for the kill all the time. she was so blinded by rage and grief that she genuinely believed the only way the galaxy could be safe is if all Sith died. it’s not really until she met Lana and Novei, and worked with them during SoR, that Staz’s mindset shifted. she does still think that the Sith are dangerous, but she acknowledges that some can be pragmatic like Lana and Novei, and therefore there’s the potential to work and coexist with them.
9. How do they feel about the Force and the orders that use it?
the Force was Staz’s first companion, the one constant and comfort in a life that ever-changing, and not always for the better. i think to Staz the Force feels like standing in an open field after it’s rained, breathing in all the crisp smells. she loves the Force, and is truly unsettled when she can’t feel it.
aside from the Sith, Staz has always been open-minded, if not curious, about other orders that use the Force. best believe that if Manaan hadn’t been a life or death situation, she would’ve spent time researching the Order of Shasa and mingling with them if they let her. in terms of the Voss, she never agreed with the way the Jedi viewed them—especially since she worked with and recruited a Voss Mystic to her cause—and was eager to learn more about how they viewed the Force. she definitely had many philosophical conversations with Gaden-Ko in between missions, and i like to think they were in correspondence about said topics long after the Rift Alliance came to an end.
10. What is their specialization class? Was there a reason they picked that discipline?
i answered this question here!
11. Do they have a favorite color crystal they like to use? What color?
from the time she was a padawan to about the end of her knightship (is that even a real word? idk lol), Staz used a green kyber crystal for her lightsaber. currently, her kyber crystal is silver-blue.

hello :] not sure if you're still doing this, but 📻 + Fenyx 👀
Absolutely! No expiration date for yapping about blorbos. <3
[ send me 📻 + an oc and I’ll give you a random song off their playlist ]
But firstly, I have to clarify Fenyx (sinqy edition) doesn't have his own playlist (yet, at least), but is a swtor... port-ish, if you will, of my Grey Warden Rook from Dragon Age: the Veilguard, who does have a playlist, so we'll pull from that one. <3 [I loved him so much I wanted to take him elsewhere to keep iterating on his story]
And I am biased, and I adore a lot of the ocs I made in Veilguard's creator, but man... Feenie's one of my favorites. I mean. He's an angel...
Sorry, I... I got distracted in my screenshots folder. Ahhem.
God. This one used to play at my last job so much that I got used to it and then it morphed into catchy instead of me being annoyed they overplayed it. Which is an important aside for how I even know this song akdfnalksdfnl;sdf.
But anyway. It's pride month, it's the perfect month to talk about Fenyx, because gender is something he struggled with for... a good long while, and there's still ways he... He's not sure about all of it. And Fenyx is... not the readily confident sort. He's been made to feel like an outsider by others, and had that further weighted by struggling with his own feelings - whether they were wrong or right, or... what they even were to begin with.
Part of the journey was... accepting an "imperfect" answer. One where all the "sense" wasn't... necessarily figured out. A place where maybe he couldn't explain it all, maybe he didn't have a name for it yet, but... he was happier than where he started. Something, however small, started to feel a little bit more right.
And maybe that was always going to be something a little imperfect. And maybe he didn't need it to sound like anyone else's. This one's for the stumbling steps. And for the first times he could stumble and it made him smile, instead of adding to the doubts. Because at least they were his own. At least he was him. And that was his to figure out and have.
And while swtor Fenyx I don't think is... quite there yet, I'd like him to be. There's... small little places he's starting to figure that out. He's starting to put together a few people who help make that place feel a little more achievable, a little more real.
do any of your ocs have pets? if so, what pets do they have? how did they come across/adopt their pets?
Ooo that is a good question!
Zanya has the litter of tooka cats that he took in sometime between Onslaught and slightly after that into Echoes. Rory, Russ and Tilly technically are a result of the cat distribution system because no one knows what shipment they came in with, but they were tiny and hiding with a crate of rations when he discovered them, so he figured he’d feed them and see if he could find someone else to take them in on base because there was no way he was keeping cats.
And then. Then He Did.
He fed them because he was worried they wouldn’t make it through the week’s end, so small and clearly underweight. And then let them stay in his quarters in a makeshift bed where they’d curl up and hide for hours at a time. He’d get a little mouse droid to run around and entertain them, “just so they would not be encouraged to dig their claws into my things” but they seemed not to really be having it until a few weeks in. By the time Zanya was satisfied with how much they weighed, they’d become quite … attached to him. Greeting him when he came home for the night, purring quite loudly whenever they managed to catch him sitting down for a while, and being terribly vocal whenever he made the cardinal sin of being a whole five minutes late to feed them.
Russ is a glutton, and the whole base would know if he was even hungry for a minute. Rory was wholly indifferent to most people but evidently would somehow find his way on top of Zanya whenever he woke up. Sometimes attempting suffocation. Tilly just claimed most things for herself … usually things Zanya needed. Lightsaber hilt, datapad, shoes, you name it, wherever there was a thing a tooka cat did not need, Tilly was there. And then would get rather annoyed if Zanya moved her.
In the span of six months, Zanya had somehow become the proud (???) father to this litter. He’s still a bit bewildered on how that happened because he doesn’t even want the extra responsibility and still says he intends to find them proper owners, but he’s very dutiful about watching over them. He even has Osiris or his sister take care of them if he’s not there for weeks at a time.
I think they have a tendency to wander the base, but never the wilds. He doesn’t want them to disrupt the natural balance of the forests, but they’re friendly enough most of the council and others that live there know of the cats. It is, admittedly, always nice when you can decompress with a tooka cat by playing with them. And then one more appears because if you have a treat for that one, you have one for the this guy too. And then one more yells at you because he hasn’t been fed.
hi hi! popping back with another question about timkon eheh what do you think makes them fit so well together?
oh gosh, how do i articulate this??
there is a lot of subtext throughout their entire relationship in the comics that i could go into.
but i think for me personally, what it boils down to is that they complement each other. they are the best friends that have always bickered with one another like an old married couple. they are the parents of the friend group (with bart being their first child). whenever something big happens, the other is always front and center in their mind.
part of it is also the young justice team is truly a friendgroup made up of lonely teens in a volatile field, but tim and kon are incredibly intense about each other in a way where it is hard to ignore even if you tried to (i have multiple examples for this, but again, a lot of subtext bc dc are cowards).
on an individual level, though. kon is snarky and flirty on the surface. he is lighthearted and doesn’t take things too seriously, and yet, at the same time, he is hotheaded, headstrong, and determined. but underneath everything is an incredibly kind and caring boy in a way that you might not notice at first glance because he hides that behind the snark. in very much an acts of service type of way. a lot of kon's story is about identity and family, and in many ways, young justice and tim are his first family.
and tim's character, tim steps into the robin mantle in an act of care (i won't say selfless bc eventhough tim tried to get dick to come back first, he is excited at the thought of possibly taking up the mantle himself. he wouldn't ever impose himself or suggest it, but if asked, he wouldn't say no). the very reason he is robin is love, he loves batman and robin, he loves gotham, he loves dick grayson and jason todd and bruce wayne. he loves what they do for this city, his city. and he cannot stay silent when his heroes are suffering under the weight of tragedy. that also means that, at times, he can be abrasive, overly logical, and serious. because whilst to dick and jason, robin might have been freeing and magical, to tim, it can never truly feel like that. he has put an enormous responsibility on himself and his version of robin reflects that. and kon gets him to open up a little, kon is the reason tim can relax and loosen up.
tim and kon complement each other really well, both in the suits and out of it. they balance one another.
Mutual pining is great, but you know what's even better? Mutual pining where they're both fully aware the feelings are requited, they just can't do anything about it for other reasons. Or maybe they technically could but they've had to choose not to, because of The Circumstances.
