#indirectly mentioned

Okay first off ships

Erikar (they don't stay in a solid quadrant for long)

Gamtav

Solfef (one-sided <3, sorry Fef)

Arasol

Ok Now with that out of the way let us begin

First off our crab and fish become a thing shortly after Fef breaks things off. Specifically when Gamzee talks to Eridan as Karkat is preoccupied speaking with Jack.

Except in this au Karkat and Gamzee switch places so Kar immediately answers Eridan while Gamzee is bothering Jack cause he thinks it’s funny

Kar upon seeing Eridan’s current state goes “Wow okay you’re a literal mess right now more than usual. I’ll be your moirail for now cause if you don’t have one things might get bad for everyone and we can’t have that”

So now Eridan has a moirail so he doesn’t go off the deep end, Karkat has more responsibilities but like he has sort of has a buffer

Any who cut to the meteor and the others finally catch on that Kar and Eri are unusually close for having just met, and upon realizing they are a thing™ now everyone gets sort of weirded out but ultimately are accepting (not like they have much of a choice tbh)

This leads to a couple of things but most importantly it leads to Gamzee getting kind of bummed that his best bro doesn't have as much time for him as usual so he decides to stick to Tavros to sulk

So for the time being just picture Gamzee resting his head ontop of Tav's hair while he trolls the humans

This also has the side effects of Tavros not getting his legs cut off cause nobody wants to deal with the creepy clown he has attached to him and Gamzee not getting completely out of control cause Tavros is there when the whole ipc incident happens and calms him down pretty easily

The whole thing with Vriska still happens but she doesn't kill Tav cause again NOBODY WANTS TO DEAL WITH THE CLOWN SAINT BERNARD THAT FOLLOWS HIM AROUND

So with these changes Tavros doesn't die, and since Gamzee is somewhat chill (even if he's fuming inside) Karkat won't need to ask Equius for help stopping him so he and Nepeta both live

Aradiabot still explodes unfortunately

Which bums Sollux out so Feferi steps in to be his moirail cause she kinda of learned a thing or two from watching everyone else

Eridan still gets his wand but doesn't go on a killing spree cause he's got a moirail now so he gets chilled and just kind of sulks in the far ends of the meteor

By the time Rose and Dave arrive everyone is alive and well (or as well as they can get)

It's very much an instinctive ability, but I imagine also one that will vary a lot from person to person depending on their strength and connection to the force. Could be that there’s two different elements – the spatial aspect that’s a bit like force echo-location and allows them to know where things are around them, and the more visual aspect that allows for different elements such as texture, even colour. The wiki says the sight is more black and white but I’ve always imagined my knight seeing in colour, partly because I didn’t know/hadn’t thought so much about the Miraluka when I started and having not actually played KOTOR 2 either..., so it could just be something that varies with the individual, much as human sight varies as well. Likewise, there’ll be Miraluka who are short-sighted or long-sighted - and their vision is so strong in that area that it lends itself to certain professions maybe (I’ve long had the idea of making a Miraluka sniper so this could factor in there).

They can see through solid objects – they appear more as translucent and it really depends on what they need to focus on. Can be distracting depending where they are so sometimes try to limit it, on missions it is very useful so tap into it more.

Sight is 360 degrees but very much like our peripheral vision after a certain point, still needing to choose an area of focus and so still instinctively moving their head in response to sounds etc. or if something is only picked up in the peripheral. They generally have enhanced senses and reflexes much as typical force users have, but possibly even more so on average because they are so attuned with the force, it’s something intrinsic to them. As battlemaster my knight would certainly be teaching and really encouraging her students to build up their force sight if they can to help their combat abilities because of this. Also think that enhanced senses in all areas, beyond sight, also influences Miraluka art and culture, making it a lot more sensory in a way.

Might be naturally more expressive in body language, in that there’s not the same communication through eye contact (and avoidance of) that humans are more used to. There’s a lot of communication of emotion through the force as well, and they’re naturally empathetic and can pick up on emotions of non-Miraluka and non-force sensitives really easily even when it’s not consciously being communicated that way. Quite often they see emotion radiating from a person in colour too.

Technology is interesting, as so much of the SW world is on screen, and things like holograms etc. aren't solid and so the force doesn’t interact with them in the same way. But in a gameplay perspective characters obviously do use them so it must work somehow. Possibly they prefer paper and ink or braille for written communication though. Haven’t really figured out the tech bit yet. 

Connecting a bit to that - also really intrigued by how they are affected by physical light and dark because it won’t have been relevant for them in the way they’ve evolved? So like, will happily sit and work in a room with all of the lights off and probably startle all non-force users who come into a room and turn on the light (actually chuckling now imagining this), will also be immune to things like flash grenades and stuff because their energy affects physical vision as opposed to the force. But there are types of light that affect force-sight, so like – force ghosts, powers that use light (there’s a lot of these in the game – lightning, healing, lots of consular things etc), visions – they can be dazzling in the same way. It may also be that they can sort of see patterns of force use that are quite every day – lines from telekinesis, ripples of force powers and such (thinking of the blade storm and focused burst guardian abilities here, among others)  – though that’s another thing dependent on their strength with the force.

 “What’s going on?!” the AI said, panicked.

 “I was nearly a duck splatter, that’s what!” Donald spat back, scurrying up to safety and closing the doors again. He slumped against the corner furthest from them, panting and trying to calm his racing heart.

 “Confound it, something’s overriding my subroutines! Let me check the security cameras.”

 “Sometimes I wonder if you really do control the Tower like you say,” said Donald, massaging away his developing headache.

 “I do! I don’t control unforeseen variables like this, though- Bingo! Found the culprit!”

 “Thank goodness,” Donald sighed. The elevator doors parted for the last time, Donald sighing again in relief upon seeing One’s familiar green mug. “That was enough excitement for one day,” he said, walking over to his pal. “So who’s Mr. Funny Britches?”

 “I found this creature inside a duct pecking at a hidden control panel.” One’s many mechanical arms shot out of the floor and toward Donald. He quacked in surprise and jumped back.

 Held by its neck by the hand and looking around the joint curiously, was a wild goose.

 “A goose?!” Donald balked. The goose honked in Donald’s face. Donald raised his fists in response.

 “Hey!” One chided, “Don’t hurt him! I think he’s rather cute. We could keep him as a pet, eh?”

 Donald stuck his finger directly against One’s globe. “Not a snowball’s chance in the Sahara! After it almost killed me? Plus, I have one thorn-in-my-side goose to deal with, and that’s plenty!”

 One raised an eyebrow. “Well, then, smart boy, what do      you     suggest we do with it?”

 “Why, thank you, nephew. I’m sure the little feller will make an excellent guard for me Money Bin,” said uncle Scrooge, shaking Donald’s hand.
