Hi! I love your new OC Yemmi jai Quleissh.
I was wondering if she lives in the same time period of Grievous and if so please give us a backstory!
Much love, Moo 🩷
Hello! Happy to hear you enjoy Yemmi!
And maybe, I don’t really know. Yemmi could easily be put in just about any area without too much issue with how I decided to write her character. She doesn’t really have much of a connection to Grievous beyond hearing stories mostly told by B1-2419, a previously inactive Battle Droid she’d somehow gotten a hold of from an old battle field and decided to have reprogrammed to follow her and act as her pilot and guard when she’s away.
Yemmi is a bounty hunter mostly making money to either bring back to Kaleesh directly or use it to purchase food, water and supplies to bring back home for her people and whatever is left of Kalee. If she doesn’t have anything to bring back, she’ll resort to theft with B1-2419 (B for short) as her get-away pilot. There isn’t anything particularly special about Yemmi aside from her skill with the lig swords. She has no connection to the force and dislikes Jedi due to them siding with the enemy that put them in their current position now, but does not go out of her way to hunt them down. She’s more focused on making sure her people survive than she is getting vengeance.
I didn’t really want to build any characters with any deep rooted connections to any of the canon characters nor set an era in concrete mostly because I do enjoy roleplaying them sometimes just for the fun of it. The vagueness also just gives me the freedom to explore her own stories without rewriting existing stories or characters in them just to put Yemmi in there. Maybe some time an era will become a bit more clear the more I develop her, but for now I don’t really know yet. I don’t have too terribly much in concrete at the moment since she and B are both pretty brand new OCs of mine.
