#czerka

Originally founded as "Czerka Mining and Industrial," this centuries-old, galaxy-spanning corporation has diversified into businesses ranging from consumer food products to military weapons. It is one of the wealthiest and most successful economic enterprises in operation, conducting commerce on virtually every civilized planet and--as owner of multiple star systems and employer of several billion individuals--has representation in the Republic Senate.

Day 3 - Roll Initiative

So remember Soren from my previous post?

When Lunalee met him, she felt his connection to the Force and she thought « hey, here’s someone like me! » and followed him. This was a stupid idea for several reasons.

First, her Master was very specific that she shouldn’t try to get in touch with either the Temple or the Jedis. Ever.

Second. Jedis aren’t the only ones strong with the Force. Turned out This guy wasn’t expecting to be noticed and he... knocked her out and kidnapped her? Yeah, they started out on great basis for friendship...

Now of course upon realizing he was a Sith and he was determined to bring her back to Korriban with him, Lunalee wasn’t to happy. But he was obviously stronger than her and better trained so she quickly understood she was no match and if she wanted to leave, she’d have to outsmart him.

However, the Sith and her were looking for the same thing: the lost cargo of kyber crystals. No surprise there. But they weren’t the only ones looking. They found a group of smugglers and had to team up to beat them.

There’s been a lot of dice rolls. And Lunalee and Soren often rolled the same, at one point it was almost ridiculous how predictable they were xD. But they managed, barely hurt. And found the kyber!

But there was still something else calling onto them through the Force and upon a quick search, they found an old artefact. Lunalee touched it and she was trapped inside of some weird Force illusion. She met an ancient Alien who tried to coax her but she felt something wrong and tried to leave, connecting to the Sith who was still outside. Instead of pulling her out of there, she pulled him in.

The Sith was quicker to understand what was going on - aka the alien counting on using one of them to escape his prison jungle - and seemed ready to fight but Lunalee, on the other hand, realized that if the alien needed them to leave, maybe they could leave by their own means and convinced the Sith to try.

So they did some kind of an emergency meditation, connecting with the Force and with each other and it worked, they were free. But somehow a remnant of the bond lingered between them. However they left the Czerka bunker they’d been roaming in until then and went back to the surface. The Sith said he wouldn’t take Lunalee after all (which she appreciated because she really had no idea how to get out of this one...) and that’s when Jonas, B’ob and B’ob’s jawa clan arrived to save the day.

Sith wasn’t impressed but didn’t fight, Lunalee negociated to let him leave. He gave back her weapons and commlink (gave his contact in the process, Jonas wasn’t too happy to see a random dude throwing finger guns at his « daughter ») and left after finally sharing his name : Soren.

Republic-side, you actually meet the man himself. He’s old, he’s living alone in the desert, and when you come across him, he’s apparently talking to himself, addressing the friends he left in the base. 

Grommik: Twenty more minutes until I’m leaving. Then the doors are clsoing. Wallner. I love you like a brother, but the doors have to close...

You discover that he was a security guard at Czerka and had no idea what was happening in the excavation, until things got out of hand and he had to help seal the base. The incident traumatized him so much that he retired, and he’s afraid to leave his house. 

Grommik: When it all went wrong...I had to lock up the base. Leave the others behind. I left the desert and the horrors and went to Anchorhead.  Even when he’s helping you escape from the base, his friends are still on his mind. 

The rules are simple: pick an OC, and then answer these interview questions in-character for them. Then tag five more people to keep it going!

I got tagged by @swtorpadawan

As if there were any question about which SWTOR OC I’m picking, I gotta go with Cirak; I’m pretty sure he’s the undisputed favorite of my SWTOR disasters. I’ll probably do this again though later with Raz, since I think half my followers here are here for my SWTOR stuff and the other half my original writing (with some overlap of course).

1. What is your name?

Cirak Kiht. But you already know that.

2. Do you know why are you named that?

No idea. It’s probably because my parents liked that name. 

3. Are you single or taken?

I’m often being taken if you know what I mean, but no, nothing serious.

4. Have any abilities or powers?

Fastest draw in the galaxy. I dare anyone to try having faster reflexes. Nothing mystical though. None of that Force crap.

5. Stop being a Mary Sue.

I can’t help it if I’m so perfect.

6. What’s your eye color?

I’m going to be nice and just assume you’re colorblind. Red.

7. How about your hair color?

If you are colorblind you’d be right anyways. Grey, like Mom’s. 

8. Have any family members?

None who are still breathing. Mom got sick and died when I was twelve. Dad got himself killed a few years after that. And Tyar, my kid brother, he died when the Jedi Temple fell on Coruscant. 

My crew’s my family now. Mako’s the Team Mom, and she knows it. Blizz is like our energetic, destructive child. Gault’s that cousin who’s always getting in trouble that we have to bail out. Torian - good kid by the way - is the one we can always trust to get the job done. We’re all one big family that kills together.

Except Skadge. -censor bleep- Skadge. Not literally though. Not in a thousand years. It’s one of the only things you couldn’t pay me any amount of credits to do.

9. Oh? How about pets?

I don’t have time to look after any pets.

10. That’s cool, I guess. Now, tell me something you don’t like?

I mentioned Skadge right? I also hate Hoth. 

Getting stranded on Hoth with Skadge? That’s a hellish nightmare.

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?

I had a boyfriend a long time ago who taught me how to whittle, so I like carving things from time-to-time. Hunting big game is a lot of fun too, and it’s not too hard to find opportunities for that when I’m out on a job. I don’t have as much time for it anymore, but I used to race Swoop, but that was awhile ago. 

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?

Buddy, I get paid to hurt people.

13. Ever… killed anyone before?

Yeah, plenty. Even on those bounties where they’re wanted alive there always seems to be a goon of their’s who rushes you that you gotta put down.

14. What kind of animal are you?

No idea.

15. Name your worst habits?

According to Mako it’s the “revolving door” that is my bedroom, but I like to think of that as my best habit. Mine is probably that I don’t plan enough, and that I charge headfirst into jobs without doing thorough research ahead of time.

But hey, that’s why I have Mako.

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?

Me. I figure if my fans look up to me, I should too. That way I don’t let them down.

17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?

Bisexual. I’ve slept with men and women.

18. Do you go to school?

I haven’t been to school since I was 15, right before Dad left for the last time. I never did turn in that assignment.

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?

Sure, if the right person came along.

20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?

Plenty. One of the best things about my victory tour after winning the Great Hunt was meeting all my fans during photoshoots and sponsorships. I didn’t realize just how many were out there before that.

21. What are you most afraid of?

Getting sick and becoming feeble. I don’t enjoy feeling like other people have to take care of me. I plan on going out in a blaze of glory. No getting old and infirm for me.

22. What do you usually wear?

I’ve been wearing a custom-fit set of armor for most of my jobs. Called in a few favors with some people at Mili-Corp and got it made especially for me. It’s light, but has the quality of defense as what you might find in Czerka’s pricier lineup of products, and comes with a backup shield generator and an autohacking system in case Mako or Gault are indisposed. 

23. What’s one food that tempts you?

Crispy fries with lots of salt and hot sauce.

24. Am I annoying to you?

Nah you’re fine.

25. Well, it’s still not over!

Good. More time to talk about me.

26. What class are you (low/middle/high)?

Let’s just say credits are no longer an issue for me.

27. How many friends do you have?

A few. Most people are acquaintances at best. 

28. What are your thoughts on pie?

I like pie.

29. Favorite drink?

Just a good ol’ cold beer.

30. What’s your favorite place?

There’s this beach on Ord Mantell that my boyfriend Dekon and I would go to when we lived on the planet. It was away from the city a bit, and hardly anyone was ever on the sand. Really remote. Sometimes we’d train there, race our swoop bikes, or just watch the waves, among other things. I went back a couple years ago. The Republic bombed it all to hell after some Separatists set up a bunker nearby.

31. Are you interested in anyone?

Like attracted? Sure, plenty. There was this cute twi’lek girl I met last time I was on Nar Shaddaa that I wouldn’t mind meeting up with next time I’m back, but if you mean in a serious way, then no.

32. That was a stupid question…

I once had an interviewer ask me my favorite color. You’re good.

33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?

Ocean.

34. What’s your type?

Depends on what we’re talking about. Physically I partners who are athletic and well-fit, but I don’t care much about what species they are as long as they’re sentient and not a Hutt. But I will say, you can’t go wrong with muscle. Men, women, I don’t care. 

As far as personality though I like people who are collected and calm. They don’t take too much too seriously, and you can just be around them without having to think a whole lot, and yet they’re always thinking. Planning. It takes care of what I don’t want to do. A twi’lek woman I dated once was like that, and it saved me a lot of hassle on day-to-day things. 

She also tried to stab me when we were doing a job, so maybe she’s not the best example.

35. Any fetishes?

What kind of magazine is this again...?

But, to answer your question: not really. Sex is sex, and sex is fun, so if there’s something that gets my partner going I’ll play along unless it’s -censor bleep- weird.

36. Camping or outdoors?
