5.letters between two of your OC’s companions about them – Hadrea

Ishev,

I know you did warnme that Hadrea is still upset over the loss of her mother. I've triedto be as nice as I can to her. I've apologized. I've tried to ignoreher. I've tried to engage her in pleasant conversation. But did youever ask her to be nice to me? Every time I leave my rooms togo to the kitchens or the library she's lurking outside and throwinginsults at me, and I'm becoming paranoid about dinner.

Also, there is ahidden speaker somewhere in my room playing songs from the RepublicArmy Band's Death To The Empire albums 1 through 4. Can you come fixthis?

Auriva

Dear Auriva,

I will come find thespeaker.

Hadrea isn't goingto poison you. She will come around and find that you've redeemedyourself and are actually a good person, I'm sure. Until then, I'llhave another talk with her about not waging psychological warfare onpeople I like.

Ishev

Ishev,

Have you had thistalk with her before?

Auriva

Dear Auriva,

I routinely have towarn Hadrea against waging psychological warfare. She rarely listens.

Ishev

Ishev,

...comforting. Not.

Auriva

9. a futurehistorian’s account of your OC’s actions – Dakhri

It is well-known tohistorians of the Force that different traditions have very differentways of handling individuals with a psychological trauma that rendersthem damaged or unstable, and that some are significantly moreeffective in their methods than others. The Jedi Order is the largestRepublic-affiliated organization for Force-sensitives, but there aremany who consider its approach to healing its members to be the leasteffective of all.

There are manyaccounts of Jedi who suffered traumatic events that left scars ontheir psyches during the Great Galactic Wars I and II, and whoreceived inadequate treatment to recover from it. In the best cases,these Jedi received care from other groups and were able to overcometheir issues. In many cases, they had to treat themselves withinadequate support. In the worst cases, these Jedi were unable tohandle their traumas and several fell to the dark side and inflicteddamage on others around them.

This historian'sopinion is that the most effective organization for handlingForce-sensitives damaged by wartime trauma during both Great GalacticWars was the Massani aliit, based on Iridonia. The aliit was knownfor producing a high number of skilled combatants and for providingthem with the correct kind of support to recover from any woundsphysical and mental sustained during it.

One example of theJedi Order failing their own is that of Dakhri Massani. She wascaptured by the Sith Empire while still a Padawan and imprisoned inImperial space for eight months before she escaped. She was treatedfor her physical wounds bu the Jedi Order, then cleared to return toaction and promoted to Knight. Her career in the War wascharacterized by an extremely high success rate of missions she wasassigned to, and she was known for never abandoning or leaving behindpersonnel.

However, the traumaof her capture by Imperials fostered a growing hatred of them thatfostered a weakness to the Dark Side in her. When a Republic basecontaining her husband was captured by an Imperial special operationsteam, she single-handedly invaded it, killed all hostiles, andrescued the captured personnel. Her combat display at the time wasdescribed as violent, brutal, and dark-sided by Republic survivors,but her rescuing of key personnel prevented the Imperials from takingHaruun Kal.

It was only afterthe Haruun Kal incident that the Jedi Order realized that somethingwas wrong with her. They pulled her off of active duty and intendedto treat her fall to the Dark Side but individuals close to herinsisted on sending her back to the aliit instead. The aliit was ableto help her recover, bringing her back from the edge of the darkside. She later returned to the Jedi Order to teach as a combatinstructor on Tython, but was never again sent into combat againstthe Sith Empire.

The world had goneto shit.

Hadrea had dreams.She had goals for her life. Keep working the books for ThrantaTransport to make sure they made tons of money, keep smugglingrefugees and medical supplies, keep flying fast ships, keep bangingpretty people. Keep fucking over the Empire as many times as shecould, in as many ways as she could, while keeping it lookingcompletely aboveboard so her family could remain ignorant and morallycontented.

The problem was, allthose images of her future were made with the idea that her familywould still be around. As long as she was supported by her family,she could do anything. There'd be a reason for it all to matter inthe end, because there someone to come home to.

Well, she supposedsome of those goals were still achievable. But no one was there towitness her doing it. To come home to with bright eyes and lies onher lips, after she'd done something daring they wouldn't approve of.

Where was her familynow? Her father, dead when an Eternal Empire ship shot it down duringthe blockades. Her brother, dead when the Eternal Empire destroyed afleet he was with at the time. Her sister still survived and stilltaught at the University of Aldera, but they hadn't talked in months– Soris  had quit TTS and wanted Hadrea to keep her head down andHadrea couldn't accept that as a possibility – so that was out. Hermother was dead, murdered by a Sith years ago, and now that Sith wasreformed and living on planet, and Hadrea couldn't even killher because she'd promised her brother thatshe'd take care of the karking stray.

Alldead or estranged. That wasthe fate of the noble line Hadrea had been adopted into.

Nowshe was the only person of the Aves-Teral household still working atTTS. And wasn't that a stars-damned joke? She was a woman of adifferent species, adopted into the line because some rich noble feltsorry for her. She knew whenever someone stepped in and asked forLady Aves, or wanted to see “whoever the owner is”, that theyexpected some tan-skinned human with a lineage that took 15 minutesto recite. Not a pretty green-skinned tattooed Mirialan. She didn'tfit the image at all.

Andin some cases, that lost them business. People came in to negotiatecontracts and then left after an awkward conversation, and if shetracked them down she found out they'd gone elsewhere. In other casesthough, she'd gotten the business, sometimes a reluctant smalltransport and when it was done faster and cheaper than expected,they'd come back for more. And a few knew who she was in advance,even approved of her; one memorable time she'd been told, “Thatline had the business sense of a wet thranta, of course they neededsomeone on staff who knew numbers”. She'd laughed and then cut thema discount on the shipping. Hadreawasn't entirely immune to flattery, after all.

Butthings were just so dissatisfying.

Ridingspeeders too fast across Alderaan, figuring out how to  navigate thetreacherous waters of the new three-way political map (skate someillicit imports by under Zakuul's eye, advance the Republic (becausethey were still fighting the Empire like they didn't even noticeZakuul's leash), fuck over the Empire (because they were also tearinginto the Republic), carefully protect  her company's legal andillegal assets from rival underworld groups and companies… therewas a thrill in it, but Hadreathought it wasn't the same.

SometimesHadreafound herself longing for the relative simplicity of outsmarting theImperials of the Sith Empire, the days when the only powers wereRepublic and Empire and maybe the Hutts in a very distant thirdplace, if they thought highly enough of themselves (which they did,but it didn't make them a power, no matter what Karagga and thatmogul on Makeb had thought). That had been better for business thanthis. And she'd been able to fly more herself, get offworld and enjoythe fast ships and risky lifestyle that she longed for so badly. Thatshe'd been addicted to.

Onthe other hand, she was personallyricher now than she'dbeen in those days. Business was profitable enough that there'd be asolid inheritance for the young cousins who were still years awayfrom maturity and who would inherit the business when she steppeddown. No one could say she'd run things into the ground.

Shemight be bored, but she was still surviving. And, in a certain way,thriving.

Ishev would take a cheek kiss and turn bright red. Auriva and Hadrea would both be up for lip-kisses as well as cheek kisses.

Pros:

-She’s adventurous. You’ll go on trips, see glittering cities, seedy spaceports, fly a fast ship and dodge blaster bolts. 

-She has a tendency to lavish partners, with gifts, with sex, with everything they could need.

-She has so. much. money and will buy you things. Expensive things. Luxurious things.

Cons:

-She’ll buy you things. You may not want the things. They may be horrifying.

-She’s fickle. She’ll love you for a bit, then leave you if she’s bored. But sometimes she’ll come back, if you haven’t run off.

This is like the world’s most belated answer, but:

3.) Hadrea is intentionally driving a shitty car and playing awful carols.

Full Name: Hadrea Aves

Gender and Sexuality: Female (cis), pansexual

Pronouns: She/her/hers

Ethnicity/Species: Mirialan

Birthplace and Birthdate: Unknown, 9 BTC

Guilty Pleasures: Fancy food, expensive liquor, sex with hot people.

Phobias: Being un-adopted or disowned by her new family. Being taken by the Empire.

What They Would Be Famous For: Being a trashy tabloid party girl.

What They Would Get Arrested For: Public indecencies (being too drunk, sex in public, stripping inappropriately)

OC You Ship Them With: I crackship her hitting on @ravenkinlegacy 's Aurekthesh. She'd tap @karanan's Roscoe if they ever met (bonus points if they're both pretending to be party trash while working their own agendas). She'll hook up with most OCs at least once.

OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Imperial loyalists who catch her thieving or who don't believe an alien can legitimately be running an Alderaanian transport ship.

Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Bad action movies in the Rambo style.

Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: When orphans turn out to have important parentage and destiny.

Talents and/or Powers: Up close dirty fighting. Excellent shot with a pistol. Enough medical training to keep someone alive to get them to better treatment. Sharp, cutting tongue.

Why Someone Might Love Them: Her devotion to keeping safe the people she considers hers is an admirable trait. She's good at being spontaneous and fun and not letting people get too serious.

Why Someone Might Hate Them: If they take her trashy party girl behavior too seriously. The fact that under all her casual fun behavior, she's actually ruthless and unafraid to murder, lie, cheat, steal.

How They Change: Honestly, Hadrea hasn't changed very much since I started writing her (she's added more complexity under the hood, but she's in a static place). The KotFE-era version is likely to be more bitter, cynical, and ruthless - a much scarier version.

Where to start?

-Erysai doesn’t know she likes girls yet, but she will when she meets the right girl. It just better not be a Jedi girl, since she’s so mad at them…

-Hadrea sometimes resents her good-time-girl image. It helps people think she’s a fluffbrain so she can scam them better, and it’s fun as a distraction, but she really wants people to know how smart she is.

-Sehavi tends to get custom fashion made. She likes to hide weapons everywhere in her clothes and accessories. It’s a holdover from preparing for an unhappy marriage - she wanted to feel like she could kill her partner anytime, if she needed to.
