omg ty! ;0; some of them, their names are pretty much just a little bit of keysmashing until it looks right (enough vowels, easy to say, stuff like that) but as far as the ones that have meaning or taken from in-universe languages, lemme think... 

Coshbyss: Taken from two words in this fan zabraki dictionary - specifically, the names section. “Cosh” means “pride,” as in “pride of the family,” and “byss” is a variation of “Bez,” referring to someone who “protects her young.” Since I wanted to go with the idea of protection, I tried to find an alternate spelling of Bez, which is apparently a feminine name only? (but gender binaries are wonky anyway so who cares lmao) But yeah tried to find an alternate spelling that sounded less harsh than “Bez” - since the Z made it a very harsh sounding name.

Rakeshi’s daughters, Mirho Kutaau, and Phida, are all names derived from Greek numerology and/or the Greek alphabet! (Rakheshi, however, was a keysmash name. Same with his surname Keiroda.)

Chaf’aul’iflar aka Fauli was difficult because holy shit, chiss names y’all. I did want something where the core name sounded very... cute? sweet? so finding the house names and core names etc that’d actually fit the bill took.... weeks, i think. lmao.

عارف aka Arif: It’s an Arabic name that refers to someone who’s an expert in their field, or something similar to that. He’s an intelligence agent, so his name ties into that!

Athenyia: Derived from goddess Athena! 

Howlite: I just. Really wanted an OC that had a type of precious/semi-precious stone as a name. It was a little easier to find Chiss names this time, which was nice! 

Davi Mingxin: First name is literally just “David” with the last D taken off. Mingxin is derived from 明星, which pretty much means “celebrity” though the individual characters mean “bright” and “star” individually.

Wanwo: variation of the romanization of 望和. afaik, individually, the first character means either “to expect, to hope for” etc., or refers to the full moon. Second should mean something like “peace” I think?

Ying Zii: very loose interpretation (and definitely wrong lol) of the romanization of 明淨, “luminous.”

Kara Wren: A Mandalorian derived name. Kara refers both to the stars and to a ruling council composed of former leaders to Mandalorians. (I guess I have a lot of star/space based names lmao) and Wren is a surname taken from Sabine Wren from star wars rebels, aka my daughter and Mandalore of my heart.

OC most likely to asks

7. most likely to be two hours late to their own eventI feel like, when Azukni and Leika’le first adopted her kids, she and her family would have definitely been late to a lot of things until either/both moms got the hang of it. But Athenyia, who’s much more likely to skip out on an event entirely, would have to be dragged kicking and screaming to her own birthday party or something. She just hates formal events and the like, or even informal events. If she has to put it on a calendar, she’d rather not do it. Just leave her alone in her obscure little hut like home and let her go take down rancors on her own or something.

13. most likely to ruin everythingXyrus, now dead, has definitely ruined everything before out of sheer spite, or at least everything for one person. Beside him, maybe Nalakii, though she’d ruin everything out of sheer spite for as many people as she can.

oc rivals ask meme

ahhh ty for sending a bunch in!!! <3 here we go :o

For each first mention of an OC, I’ll add their tag so that it’s easy to check out their stuff~ My main OC page is here, though it’s still undergoing renovations as I very slowly but surely add everyone’s profile images :’D

#long post ahoy!

Meanest VS Kindest

Meanest: Out of the living ones, Nalakii or Ming Long. Nalakii is intentionally mean for legitimate reasons, but Ming Long (one of maybe... two? movie era OCs I have?) is mean for stupid reasons or out of ignorance. If you include the dead one, then Xyrus is like. literally the most evil OC I have. Luckily he’s dead. (I don’t actually think I’ll talk about him for the rest of this meme just cuz like. He’s the Worst TM)

Kindest: Azukni. Undoubtedly, Azukni. She’s the mom friend and she is the best mom friend. She will research to the ends of the earth to make sure you get your vitamins, your sleep, your meds, and considering she’s like, a certified metal health therapist? She can make sure your mental health is good too. She also will cook for you (even if she isn’t the best) if you’re sick.

Tallest VS Shortest

Tallest: At one point, this might have been a tie between Coshbyss (6′3″) and Xyraan (6′1″), the latter who is almost always wearing heels that are at least 4″ tall. But now? Sorry you two, Tallest goes to Wanwo, who is literally so tall that he didn’t fit completely on screen in a cut scene at one point.

Shortest: Lei’ti and Athenyia are 5′2″ and 5′1″ respectively! I had forgotten that Athenyia was so short tbh until I checked out the heights I have listed on my page lmao.

Most humble VS Most arrogant

Humble: Well, this is where it gets hard. I have a number of OCs who are pretty self deprecating to the point of verbally hurting themselves? Though I don’t think that counts as humility. Either way, I think the winner of this category goes to either Coshbyss or his sister Azukni. Coshbyss is the self-deprecating one, but Azukni at least seems to recognize enough of her own self worth to not be verbally hurting themselves all the time.

Arrogant: If I hadn’t already said that I wasn’t going to count Xyrus, he’d be the most arrogant one. Arrogance, I personally define as “putting more worth in yourself, and bragging about it, than what actually exists.” A lot of my OCs act arrogant, but know their limits. Wanwo, Davi, Rakheshi, even Azukni’s daughter Elanii to name a few. Still, if I were to point out another arrogant character, it might fall to Nalakii. She’s the one where you kind of need to actually beat her in something before she believes she isn’t strong enough for said something.

Coldest VS Most emotional

Coldest: Xyrus again lbr Uhhhhh that category belongs either to Arif or Alis. As a spy character, Arif is definitely trained to not become too emotionally attached to whoever or whatever task is set before him. Alis, a literal robot, wasn’t programmed to have any sort of emotion based modules at first, though later they sort of learn what it’s like to express or show appreciation, at the very least, to their father figure creator Drelan.

Most emotional: ngl a lot of my characters are very emotional, and always express it. :’D Ummm, hmm. If we’re judging emotion based on how immediately someone explodes? Probably Wanwo. That’s what happens when you’re forced to be Sith as an alien in the Empire I guess???? :’D

Most chaste VS Most lustful

Most chaste: Here comes another movie-era OC! Roskah, whose FC was Donnie Yen before Donnie Yen was cast as Chirrut, is Super Fucking Asexual. Asexual, Aromantic, Sex-repulsed, everything. They just focus on making their lightsabers in peace lmao. 

Most lustful: Probably Xyraan this time! Davi might’ve tied with her at one point, but ever since Davi decided to become a full-time tattoo artist and ever since Xyraan decided to do her modelling/socialite-ing/sugaring full time, Xyraan wins this round. Her Sith!AU version has literally fucked her way up the Imperial Social Ladder, while her usual version still fucks her way up the social ladder, just not as aggressively. Well, constantly. If you’re into aggressive, she’ll do that, if you give her enough reason to. (Reasons, in this case, being social status, money, and clothes. :’D)

Most serious VS Silliest

Most serious: Probably Alis? They do slowly go from “complete stoic robot” to a sort of Captain Holt style “complete stoic robot that is sarcastic.”

Silliest: Rakheshi, undoubtedly. Even when he was Sith, he’d constantly be joking around to make himself seem like less of an important target in the Sith Empire. And then don’t even get me started on those dad jokes. Good fucking lord.

“Sleep is for the weak!” VS “Sleep for a week”

Sleep is for the weak: Davi Mingxin

Sleep for a week: Davi Mingxin

Listen, Davi is the person who will over exert themselves ten times over before crashing and not waking up for 72hrs straight. :’D Just in general, they’re usually a very extreme person lmao.

Happiest VS Saddest

Happiest: Azukni! Coshbyss’ sister!

Saddest: Coshbyss! Azukni’s brother!

This one’s interesting, bc it kind of shows the dynamic of how two similar characters can be completely different if you put them in different settings. I have no doubt that Azukni would be my saddest character if she were put in Coshbyss’ place, but she wasn’t. She was fortunate to have lived in a part of the galaxy where she’s accepted for the horns that crown her head, the tattoos that adorn her skin. Coshbyss wasn’t, though he remembers what that was like.

Darkest backstory VS Lightest Backstory

Darkest: Excluding Xyrus (again), it’d still have to be one of my Siths’ backstories. Though Rakheshi grew up in the Empire, Wanwo and Coshbyss didn’t. The two latter ones remember what not being discriminated as an alien was like. At least Wanwo remembered his sibling’s name though. Coshbyss didn’t, couldn’t, after being thrown into hard manual labor and various other tasks that was no good to his sense of self worth or his memory of Azukni’s name. I guess this might go to Coshbyss again, then.

Lightest: It’d probably fall to Davi or Drelan or maybe even Azukni this time. Davi honestly just wanted to get off Zeltros, same with Drelan with Glee Anselm. But Azukni is generally the happiest, and maintains that happiness, and is also a much more complex character than Davi “Hey let’s get smashed and have a three-way with the future Wrath because he has a big dick” Mingxin

Biggest eater VS Lightest eater

Biggest eater: Davi probably, again. They like indulging and frankly, with all the back alley fist fights and bar fights and everything else they purposely fight, they can keep all the weight off. Helps that they have that Zeltron liver for all the alcohol consumption.

Lightest eater: Considering she’s the most traditional Jedi I have, probably Azukni. It’s not that Jedi don’t put flavor in their food, but she was still brought up to eat fairly lean foods that suits her dietary requirements as a Zabrak. 

Most ticklish VS Cruelest tickler

Most ticklish: This will be someone I have yet to mention, but it’s prolly going to be doctor Fauli! She’s a chiss who, though grew up in the Ascendancy, was handed off to the Empire partially because they didn’t want to deal with her anymore. (She’s far too emotional and cheery to act like a normal Chiss. Why would anyone want to deal her? Though it looks like the Empire could use some help taking care of their Chiss allies stationed in their part of space... Maybe we can dump her into their very capable hands.)

Cruelest tickler: This will be someone I haven’t mentioned as well, and it’s Howlite! Howlite’s a Chiss dude who grew up in the Republic for various reasons. He’s hella fucking bad at expressing affection but apparently, tickling is one way he’ll do that. Maybe he likes teasing his loved ones????

Brainiest VS Brawniest

Brainiest: Well, this depends on your definition of brainy. Book smarts would definitely fall to Azukni, even if she has ADHD worse than I do. She’s both got attention deficit and hyperactive disorder, but she absolutely loves to learn. When she can manage, she’ll happily sit in a sunny corner and read for the entire day. And probably forget to eat because it’s such a good read! Lei, I’m learning about the history of the Jedi, it’s interest- babe, don’t laugh at me! Learning’s fun-- hey!

All he hears is the sound of his breathing - in, pause, out, pause, in, pause, out, pause. All he sees is clouds and smoke swirling in the space above him, and he knows he’s in trouble, but he can’t remember why, so he’s at peace instead.

In, pause, out, pause.

Bright, blinding light and he winces. Something loud, screaming in his ear and reverberating through his head. He turns towards the source - Gold and dark mahogany and bronze and red lips and green eyes wide and noise. 

“Can you tone it down, please?” he croaks, but Athenyia doesn’t seem to hear. She’s yelling.

“I! Have told you!” She’s yelling, she’s crying, she’s sobbing, she’s something but it’s not clear to Skaeln what. “Stop taking that shit on my ship!” 

And then she’s on the bed beside him, and the world and smoke above him is going fuzzy as she shakes him. 

“Can you stop shaking me, please?” he mumbles, or thinks he does and she stops, but now her nails are digging into his arm. 

“I hate you!” she’s screaming again, and now he feels guilty, now he knows he’s in trouble, and the weight feels like lead on his chest. He tries to mumble an apology, but isn’t sure he does. Instead, the world goes whirling, twirling and he feels himself fall with a soft thunk. He thinks she must’ve shoved him off the bed, but he’s not sure. 

Name: Athenyia

Role: Big Game Hunter

Species: Human, Cyborg

Gender: Female

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Age: 40 galactic standard years

Height: 5'1" - 155cm

Short tempered and shorter in stature, the big boned bounty hunter would much rather spend her time being digested by a sarlacc than socialize with more than one person at a time. She prefers the country to the city, but still finds herself weaving through Nar Shaddaa to buy equipment for her one of two passions in life: hunting.

Cooking, on the other hand, is something she prefers to keep to herself.

When it comes to the never ending fight between the Empire and the Republic, she'd choose neither side- though it seems like the Republic is less likely to invade her privacy. And with the Empire, there's the problem of the Sith, which she actively avoids. One too many bad experiences with being employed under a Sith taught her to avoid them at all costs. Especially one named Xyrus Asha.

Her past is for the most part, boring - or so she'll claim. It'd depend if a spice-addicted mother and a non-existent father is considered boring or not. Either way, she abhors the scent of spice, any spice. At this point, it's nearly become a phobia, one where she's scared she'll turn out like her ma- dead in a ditch and rotting from overdose. That, and a blaster hole through her head. Spice is a temptation, one that she tries to avoid. But it follows her almost everywhere, even to the hot sands of Tatooine, and it tempts her again in one of the few people she comes to trust- a Chiss named Skaeln.

Notes:

A damn good cook
