Ooh what happens to Darmas, Baras, and Zash in your canon?
Darmas probably ends up in a Republic prison (with a small chance that he eventually escapes and returns to either the Empire or the galactic underworld...or both), but there is a chance he'll end up being shot by Jezari, Risha, or Corso, or otherwise meeting his end in some fashion.
I haven't entirely nailed down what Darmas's plotting will look like in ficverse, but I just can't pass up an Imperial Intelligence nemesis for Jezari and crew. There's just enough there for him to be kind of a dark mirror, and I still like the idea of trying to make something that's recognizably based on the Smuggler story, just adjusted for character and coherence and also the fact that the galactic cold war is going to last longer in ficverse than in game.
Daska's story in ficverse more or less follows the Sith Warrior story, even if her background is different, so Baras ends up banished from the Empire and plotting revenge. Which is to say, in the long run, he's going to end up dead. He's kind of a study in self-destructive Sithery as it is, and with no allies (because he had them all murdered) and no position in the Empire, revenge is not going to go well. Daska is nice for a Sith, but there are limits, and coming back for revenge after having your life spared is definitely exceeding those limits.
As for Zash... uh... given that Lysara doesn't at all follow the Sith Inquisitor storyline in ficverse, I'd say it's about 50/50 whether she successfully body-snatched her apprentice or whether the Sith Inquisitor storyline (or something like it) plays out for some Sith who isn't Lysara. Either Zash is off playing murder games with Thanaton, or she's been stuffed in a Rakata mind prison somewhere.

Force Sense (generic ability to connect with the Force)
★★★☆☆ – She’s a good solid Force Sensitive, but nothing special.
Force Empathy (ability to know what other people are feeling. Easier with Force sensitives than civilians)
★★★☆☆ – She’s just good enough at it to have a pretty good idea when people are lying/up to no good (though it’s a safe bet that’s everyone when it comes to fellow Sith). It’s not a power she sees as very desirable in the Empire.
Telepathy (what it says on the tin. Easier with Force sensitives than civilians)
★★☆☆☆ – She could manage a little, but it’s another of those powers that aren’t so desirable when you’re surrounded by Sith.
Thought Shield (What it says on the tin. It blocks both of the above skills.)
★★★☆☆ – She’s okay at it, but she generally backs it up by being careful about her thoughts when around other Sith.
Mind Trick (Ability to influence people’s thoughts. You know, the “These are not the droids you’re looking for.”)
★☆☆☆☆ – Not in her skill set. ... Unless she unwittingly uses something akin to this to back up her “I am scary Sith, you really want to run away now” thing.
Force Stealth (Ability to mask your presence from other Force-sensitives)
★☆☆☆☆ – Not really in her skill-set.
Farsight (the ability to evoke visions of events happening in other places)
★☆☆☆☆ – Not in her skill-set.
Force Meld (A technique wherein battle a number of Force users join their minds together through the Force, drawing strength from each other)
★☆☆☆☆ – Nope. (She might be able to, but better to just not, you know.)
Precognition (Passive ability used in combat to have premonitions of where danger is coming from)
★★★★★ – Yup. Huge part of lightsaber combat and she is very good at lightsaber combat.
Instinctive Astrogation (Ability that allows you to find a route through hyperspace without the help of a navigation computer or astromech droid)
★☆☆☆☆ – She has never tried. Probably not in her skill-set, though.
Comprehend Speech (Ability to understand the spoken language of any sentient, though it does not necessarily mean you can speak said language)
★★☆☆☆ – Maybe? It’s not really something that comes up much.
Animal Friendship (what it says on the tin)
★★☆☆☆ – Maybe in a pinch?
Plant surge (Ability to channel life energy into plants)
★★☆☆☆ – Same here.
Force Body (Ability to enhance your body, allowing you to jump mad heights, move super fast, survive otherwise mortal blows, etc.)
★★★★★ – Oh yes. This is her primary Force Power and she makes excellent use of it in combat.
Force Healing (what it says on the tin)
★☆☆☆☆ – Not really in her skill-set.
Telekinesis (what it says on the tin)
★★★☆☆ – She’s pretty good at moving things with the Force, or moving people with the Force...
Force Lightning
★☆☆☆☆ – Not really in her skill-set.
Pyrokinesis (Ability to burn stuff)
★☆☆☆☆ – Nor is this.
Daska is not really a powerful Sith. She’s extremely good at combat and pretty good at convincing other Sith that she’s powerful enough to be useful but not powerful or smart enough to be dangerous. But when it comes to Force Powers, hers are pretty much lightsaber combat focused.
@pyr0clast has been sorting characters according to the Sorting Hat Chats elaborated, er, Sorting Hat sorting.
I did my main three characters last night here, and now here is everyone else.
Ianya: double burned Gryffindor – modeling Ravenclaw Primary, or trying to
She did the right thing, she made the right choice, and all it got her was pain. She chose the Order, she chose the war, and the war was lost and so was her family. All she has to cling to is being a Jedi. She can pretend to be what she should be, but the problem is she doesn’t have the faith she’d need for rebuilding herself that way to work. It’s more that she can’t throw the Jedi away, not after she lost everything because she thought it was the right choice.
Since her secondary is burned as well, any method will do. But I’m pretty sure it was also Gryffindor.
Novani: Ravenclaw Primary/Gryffindor Secondary – trying to model Ravenclaw Secondary
Novani cares deeply about doing what’s right and good, but she doesn’t instinctively know what that is. She spends quite a lot of time trying to make all of the things she believes a good person should be and do fit together properly with what she believes a good Jedi should be and do. And feeling like it should all fit together much better than she can get it to.
She wants to act with careful reasoned thought but she keeps finding herself doing things that aren’t carefully reasoned at all.
Daska: Gryffindor Primary/Slytherin Secondary – performing…evil Hufflepuff Primary/Gryffindor Secondary? (people are the Empire, hit everyone else with a lightsaber)
She believes in the rightness of her morals and her interpretation of the Sith Code, despite being surrounded by people who have a very different interpretation and very different morality. She wants to fix the Empire, even if she has some doubts about whether that’s possible, and in the meantime she’s going to do what she can to help people – even if it’s in the guise of being a terrifying Sith. She wants very much to find her sister and mother, but unlike her sister, there are things she won’t do to accomplish that.
She’s comfortable with wearing the mask of a useful but not dangerously ambitious Sith and comfortable solving problems in ways that look direct but aren’t, because what’s on the surface is a sham. (No one asks why a prisoner claimed by a Sith is never seen again, for example.)
Lysara cares for herself and her family and would do anything to have her sister and mother back, but she also has a constructed morality around a combination of vengeance and not wanting what happened to her family to happen to others. She’s built a morality of caring for other people on a foundation of hatred. She’ll help random Republic people because she wants the Empire to burn. She’ll help slaves or the downtrodden because she was once a slave and because she wants those who enslave or tread on others to burn.
She cannot let anyone into her inner circle as long as the people around her are all Sith and/or Imperials. She simply can’t take the risk of trusting anyone enough to come to care about them. If she can manage to find her sister and mother and get the hell out of the Empire, she could risk expanding her circle beyond her family. Until then, she’s going to pretend to be a good Sith, sabotage the fuck out of the Empire wherever she can, and hunt for her family.
Her secondary is so burned it’s very difficult to figure out what it was, but her illogical irritation with people who are incompetent or lazy makes me think it was probably Hufflepuff. (She should be glad when Imperials/Sith are incompetent and lazy, since it’s bad for the Empire, but it just irks her, damn it.)
Tevin: Gryffindor Primary/Hufflepuff Secondary
His morals line up closely enough with the stated morals of the Republic that I briefly considered Ravenclaw for him, but the Republic not actually living up to its morals hasn’t shaken his attachment to those morals or prompted any rethinking.
He could be a double Gryffindor modeling Hufflepuf Secondary but he isn’t really a charger and there’s something that just seems very Hufflepuffy about his leadership. He’s more of a dedicated hard worker who kind of accidentally ended up in a leadership position, and that works more because his teammates feel like part of the team than because they’re following him.
Bonus extras! Novani’s Jedi Master and the main trio’s villain!
He has an instinctive internal moral certainty his Padawan lacks, and when push came to shove he would go with what felt right. But he’s Ravenclaw enough to be very good at helping her (and other people) think through moral quandaries in a reasoned, logical way. (Though he has a tendency to encourage morality that matches his own.)
He’s good at and comfortable with fitting in wherever he needs to be and is most comfortable going at things in a quiet and indirect way. He is the ideal Jedi, the comforting master, the cunning spy, the clever detective, the brave rescuer…and while all of those things are true, they aren’t true at the depth they would be if he were actually Hufflepuff secondary.
Lord Dralick: Double Ravenclaw
His values are selfish and self-serving, but there’s something very thoughtful about them. He’s embraced the general morality of the Sith, but adjusted it in places based on observation and evidence, not just what’s easiest. (His decent pay and treatment of his employees is evidence for this. He doesn’t feel the need to lead through pure fear just because it’s the done thing. In fact, it would be wrong to pretend fear is the best motivator of loyalty when it clearly isn’t.) He’s also someone more likely to be swayed by reason than emotion. (Not very Sithy there, I suppose.)
And sure, that all sounds like it could be Slytherin, but there’s nothing loyalty based about his values. He wasn’t morally outraged by discovering Kyrian was a traitor; he isn’t loyal to the Empire, himself. And, while he was decidedly irritated that these annoying people kept wrecking his shit and occasionally killing his people, there was no Slytheriny outrage at that. He also has an observational reaction to things that a more instinct based house might not – he didn’t just immediately go after the group again at the end of Conflicts of Interest, he was content to build a case against Kyrian and file away that Savler might have been party to what happened.
(Villains are harder to sort. And not just because I don’t spend a lot of time playing “how does Lord Dralick think?”)
So, another SWTORsian (or whatever we want to call people who partake of and write SWTOR stuff) posted about the challenge of naming starships...
and I realized that, despite assorted ships appearing in my fic, I have named exactly one: the Luck. More accurately, the Wayfarer’s Luck. A ship with many aliases, but also an actual name.
Savler has a ship. She presumably calls it something. (Besides “my ship.”) For one thing, I’ve always had the impression from Star Wars stuff that ships have to have names. It may also have aliases, but it probably has an actual name, too.
Kyrian did not name the shiny silver ship Intelligence let him use, as it was not his ship. If needed, he used whatever alias Intelligence put on the registration.
Ianya and Novani (and her master) just use Jedi Order ships as needed. They probably have names. It has yet to come up.
Tevin and Havoc Squad do, probably, have a specific assigned ship. Which would have a name.
Aril’ree is not assigned to a specific ship, and just uses whatever military transport is going her way when she needs to get somewhere.
Daska probably does have a specific ship that’s “hers,” which would have a name.
Lysara is not a pilot, and I’m not sure whether the Sith she’s an enforcer for would assign her a specific ship and pilot or not. Something to ponder.
Pheodra might name her shiny silver ship. I”m not sure. Something else to ponder.
I clearly have ship names to consider. At an absolute minimum, I’ll need to come up with one for Savler’s ship. Possibly some of the others as well. Oh dear.

2. Family. Is your OC’s family a large part of their story? Why or why not? Are they on good terms? Are any of your characters related?
Jezari Solarin
Her father is dead and her mother disappeared when she was twelve. One could argue that her father, in whose footsteps she followed as a smuggler, was at least a large part of why she has the story she has. Then again, she’s more successful than he ever was, and there’s her secondary career with the SIS. She’s certainly not just her father’s daughter.
She’s never looked for her mother because she doesn’t want to know. As long as she never knows, she can believe her mother is out there somewhere, leading whatever her mysterious second life was. Is.
[And “is” is the correct tense.]
Aori Savler
She has taken measures to make sure her family are never part of her story. Her name is (mostly) a pseudonym, and her career as a bounty hunter involves layers of pseudonyms. The one thing she never wants is for her career to follow her home.
She keeps in touch by holo and visits her family regularly, with presents for her nieces and nephews, and wild stories of her adventures (carefully tailored for her audience). Her parents don’t exactly approve of her career (it’s nearly as bad as if she’d gone into law enforcement!), but they’ve accepted it.
Kyrian Nessar
His parents died when he was very young, killed in the war. If he has any living extended family, they didn’t take him in when he was orphaned. Perhaps he has none, perhaps his parents were estranged from them, perhaps they didn’t want the bother of raising a small child, perhaps they thought an Imperial Orphanage would provide for him better than they could. He doesn’t know.
Ianya Solarin
She has a little, rather distant, contact with her family back on Mirial. But there’s so much she never told them, and never can. Her husband and daughter were killed in the war. That loss shaped her life thereafter greatly, particularly considering she came about thiiiiis close to falling completely. (And even a semi-fallen Jedi is a pretty terrifying thing.) Her greatest regret is choosing her duty and the war over her family. If only she’d been there to save them.
[You may notice a certain repeated last name. Ianya’s daughter is very much alive and well and working as a smuggler and unofficial SIS agent. And everything Ianya thinks she knows about how her husband died is wrong.]
Tevin Eberel
His family certainly shaped his story. The Eberels have always served in the military and are staunchly loyal to the Republic. He has a good relationship with his parents, sibling(s?), and extended family and holos or sends messages when he can.
Lord Daska
She hasn’t seen her mother or her little sister since she was taken away to be trained as a Sith. She believes they’re alive, somewhere, and has been secretly trying to locate them. But searching Imperial records is extremely difficult when you don’t want anyone to know you’re searching, and slave records are a challenge to begin with. Still, she hopes to find them. Somehow.
[Her little sister also proved to be Force Sensitive and has been trained as a Sith. A small, round, angry Sith, made of crabbiness and lightning. In game, Lysara is a Sith Inquisitor, and the powers are right, but my headcanons for her really have nothing to do with game story. Which is why I can’t really include her in this. Not that my headcanons for Daska exactly match up with the Sith Warrior’s story. But at least they’re in the ballpark.]
9. Rivalries. Who do they hate most? What’s the fastest way for someone to earn their dislike?
Jezari Solarin
Currently? Lord Dralick, the Sith Lord she and Kyrian tangled with a few times and who got Kyrian arrested for treason. And tortured him. All of which checks off the fastest way to earn Jezari’s hate: hurt someone she cares about.
If Lord Dralick weren’t a Sith Lord, she’d hunt him down and use him for target practice. Sadly, it isn’t so easy to shoot Sith full of holes.
Aori Savler
Tarro Blood, though it’s kind of a second-hand hate. Mako wants to avenge Braden, and Savler’s more than happy to feed Tarro Blood to the Sarlacc, in bite-sized pieces, if that will help Mako feel better. (Savler: a most excellent revenge buddy!) Again, hurting someone she cares about is the best way to get on her bad list. (Go after her family, and I doubt that even the best equipment in the galaxy could find your constituent parts again. There wouldn’t be enough of you left to make a stain.)
Kyrian Nessar
Is not very good at hate. Anger, sure. But hate? That’s so focused and sustained and… and most of the people he could hate have so much more power than he does. Even anger is somewhat tied up with helplessness. People he couldn’t save, things he couldn’t stop. It’s easy for it to end up being anger at himself.
Fastest way to earn his dislike? Hurt people. Treat them as expendable. Enjoy collateral damage.
Ianya Solarin
The Empire. All of it. Everyone in it. But most especially everyone serving on the ship that destroyed the Luck.* Fastest way to earn her dislike? Be Imperial. Hurt people. Threaten people she cares about. There’s quite a long list of ways to get on her bad side; she’s got plenty of hate to go around.
*Something which never happened, but she won’t know that until she finally does meet up with her daughter again.
Tevin Eberel
I can’t think of anyone he hates. Not because he’s incapable of hate, but because he hasn’t gone up against anyone who’s really pressed his buttons. Tavus and company are more incomprehensible than anything. He finds Garza’s illegal orders appalling, and hopes the book gets thrown at various soldiers doing things soldiers for the Republic ought not to be doing, but he can put a stop to the latter, and Garza’s motives aren’t evil. (Just her orders.) Put him up against a Sith, or a nasty crime lord – someone who revels in suffering and destruction – and he could hate them, easily.
Lord Daska
Hate is a tricky thing for Sith. They’re encouraged to hate, and a lot of things get lumped in with hate. Competition, anger, frustration, dislike, disgust, irritation... almost any spikier emotion in Sith is encouraged with some version of “Ah, yes, use your hate.” There are certainly lots of people she “hates,” but sorting out who she actually hates is far more difficult. And not helped by her tendency to live in the present. Who she hates most is generally the worst person she’s having to deal with right now.
Slavery and people abusing their power over other people are the fastest ways to earn her dislike. (To put it mildly.)
Set Two: The other characters I have who even remotely follow the class story
5. Wardrobe. How many outfit slots are filled? Did their look change over the course of the game, or stay consistent?
Ianya Solarin
I’ve fussed about what she should wear a lot. Somehow nothing Jedi quite felt right for her, and I wanted her to have an underworld outfit as well. These are what I currently have for her as Jedi, underworld outfits, and cold weather outfits.
Tevin Eberel
I’m not a big fan of the game’s heavy armor, so I’ve generally put Tevin in more of a ...I don’t know...scout outfit, I guess. So he has that and his cold weather gear.
Lord Daska
I always wanted Daska to have a comfortable, non-Sithy outfit, and when the game started adding stuff by way of the cartel coins, I found something I really liked. I also found stuff for a better Sithy outfit for her there, too. So these are her current comfortable, everyday outfit and Sithy outfits, and her cold weather gear. (She miiight be overcompensating a tad with all the black and red.)
