#lei'ti

(It’s bc I was listening to my sib talk about this one wannabe “socialite” who basically scammed everyone and their mother, but it got me thinking about instagram anyway???)

Also this got SUPER LONG so I’m throwing it under a cut. OCs included in this post:

Azukni, mention of her kids, her giant pet bird Lt. Green has his own social media account, her brother doesn’t really. Rakheshi, Xyraan, Fauli, Arif, Nalakii, Slovir, Lei’ti, Drelan, his AI child ALIS, Howlite, Davi, Wanwo, Ying Zii, Kara Wren.

Kara definitely runs warriormando.

oc rivals ask meme

ahhh ty for sending a bunch in!!! <3 here we go :o

For each first mention of an OC, I’ll add their tag so that it’s easy to check out their stuff~ My main OC page is here, though it’s still undergoing renovations as I very slowly but surely add everyone’s profile images :’D

#long post ahoy!

Meanest VS Kindest

Meanest: Out of the living ones, Nalakii or Ming Long. Nalakii is intentionally mean for legitimate reasons, but Ming Long (one of maybe... two? movie era OCs I have?) is mean for stupid reasons or out of ignorance. If you include the dead one, then Xyrus is like. literally the most evil OC I have. Luckily he’s dead. (I don’t actually think I’ll talk about him for the rest of this meme just cuz like. He’s the Worst TM)

Kindest: Azukni. Undoubtedly, Azukni. She’s the mom friend and she is the best mom friend. She will research to the ends of the earth to make sure you get your vitamins, your sleep, your meds, and considering she’s like, a certified metal health therapist? She can make sure your mental health is good too. She also will cook for you (even if she isn’t the best) if you’re sick.

Tallest VS Shortest

Tallest: At one point, this might have been a tie between Coshbyss (6′3″) and Xyraan (6′1″), the latter who is almost always wearing heels that are at least 4″ tall. But now? Sorry you two, Tallest goes to Wanwo, who is literally so tall that he didn’t fit completely on screen in a cut scene at one point.

Shortest: Lei’ti and Athenyia are 5′2″ and 5′1″ respectively! I had forgotten that Athenyia was so short tbh until I checked out the heights I have listed on my page lmao.

Most humble VS Most arrogant

Humble: Well, this is where it gets hard. I have a number of OCs who are pretty self deprecating to the point of verbally hurting themselves? Though I don’t think that counts as humility. Either way, I think the winner of this category goes to either Coshbyss or his sister Azukni. Coshbyss is the self-deprecating one, but Azukni at least seems to recognize enough of her own self worth to not be verbally hurting themselves all the time.

Arrogant: If I hadn’t already said that I wasn’t going to count Xyrus, he’d be the most arrogant one. Arrogance, I personally define as “putting more worth in yourself, and bragging about it, than what actually exists.” A lot of my OCs act arrogant, but know their limits. Wanwo, Davi, Rakheshi, even Azukni’s daughter Elanii to name a few. Still, if I were to point out another arrogant character, it might fall to Nalakii. She’s the one where you kind of need to actually beat her in something before she believes she isn’t strong enough for said something.

Coldest VS Most emotional

Coldest: Xyrus again lbr Uhhhhh that category belongs either to Arif or Alis. As a spy character, Arif is definitely trained to not become too emotionally attached to whoever or whatever task is set before him. Alis, a literal robot, wasn’t programmed to have any sort of emotion based modules at first, though later they sort of learn what it’s like to express or show appreciation, at the very least, to their father figure creator Drelan.

Most emotional: ngl a lot of my characters are very emotional, and always express it. :’D Ummm, hmm. If we’re judging emotion based on how immediately someone explodes? Probably Wanwo. That’s what happens when you’re forced to be Sith as an alien in the Empire I guess???? :’D

Most chaste VS Most lustful

Most chaste: Here comes another movie-era OC! Roskah, whose FC was Donnie Yen before Donnie Yen was cast as Chirrut, is Super Fucking Asexual. Asexual, Aromantic, Sex-repulsed, everything. They just focus on making their lightsabers in peace lmao. 

Most lustful: Probably Xyraan this time! Davi might’ve tied with her at one point, but ever since Davi decided to become a full-time tattoo artist and ever since Xyraan decided to do her modelling/socialite-ing/sugaring full time, Xyraan wins this round. Her Sith!AU version has literally fucked her way up the Imperial Social Ladder, while her usual version still fucks her way up the social ladder, just not as aggressively. Well, constantly. If you’re into aggressive, she’ll do that, if you give her enough reason to. (Reasons, in this case, being social status, money, and clothes. :’D)

Most serious VS Silliest

Most serious: Probably Alis? They do slowly go from “complete stoic robot” to a sort of Captain Holt style “complete stoic robot that is sarcastic.”

Silliest: Rakheshi, undoubtedly. Even when he was Sith, he’d constantly be joking around to make himself seem like less of an important target in the Sith Empire. And then don’t even get me started on those dad jokes. Good fucking lord.

“Sleep is for the weak!” VS “Sleep for a week”

Sleep is for the weak: Davi Mingxin

Sleep for a week: Davi Mingxin

Listen, Davi is the person who will over exert themselves ten times over before crashing and not waking up for 72hrs straight. :’D Just in general, they’re usually a very extreme person lmao.

Happiest VS Saddest

Happiest: Azukni! Coshbyss’ sister!

Saddest: Coshbyss! Azukni’s brother!

This one’s interesting, bc it kind of shows the dynamic of how two similar characters can be completely different if you put them in different settings. I have no doubt that Azukni would be my saddest character if she were put in Coshbyss’ place, but she wasn’t. She was fortunate to have lived in a part of the galaxy where she’s accepted for the horns that crown her head, the tattoos that adorn her skin. Coshbyss wasn’t, though he remembers what that was like.

Darkest backstory VS Lightest Backstory

Darkest: Excluding Xyrus (again), it’d still have to be one of my Siths’ backstories. Though Rakheshi grew up in the Empire, Wanwo and Coshbyss didn’t. The two latter ones remember what not being discriminated as an alien was like. At least Wanwo remembered his sibling’s name though. Coshbyss didn’t, couldn’t, after being thrown into hard manual labor and various other tasks that was no good to his sense of self worth or his memory of Azukni’s name. I guess this might go to Coshbyss again, then.

Lightest: It’d probably fall to Davi or Drelan or maybe even Azukni this time. Davi honestly just wanted to get off Zeltros, same with Drelan with Glee Anselm. But Azukni is generally the happiest, and maintains that happiness, and is also a much more complex character than Davi “Hey let’s get smashed and have a three-way with the future Wrath because he has a big dick” Mingxin

Biggest eater VS Lightest eater

Biggest eater: Davi probably, again. They like indulging and frankly, with all the back alley fist fights and bar fights and everything else they purposely fight, they can keep all the weight off. Helps that they have that Zeltron liver for all the alcohol consumption.

Lightest eater: Considering she’s the most traditional Jedi I have, probably Azukni. It’s not that Jedi don’t put flavor in their food, but she was still brought up to eat fairly lean foods that suits her dietary requirements as a Zabrak. 

Most ticklish VS Cruelest tickler

Most ticklish: This will be someone I have yet to mention, but it’s prolly going to be doctor Fauli! She’s a chiss who, though grew up in the Ascendancy, was handed off to the Empire partially because they didn’t want to deal with her anymore. (She’s far too emotional and cheery to act like a normal Chiss. Why would anyone want to deal her? Though it looks like the Empire could use some help taking care of their Chiss allies stationed in their part of space... Maybe we can dump her into their very capable hands.)

Cruelest tickler: This will be someone I haven’t mentioned as well, and it’s Howlite! Howlite’s a Chiss dude who grew up in the Republic for various reasons. He’s hella fucking bad at expressing affection but apparently, tickling is one way he’ll do that. Maybe he likes teasing his loved ones????

Brainiest VS Brawniest

Brainiest: Well, this depends on your definition of brainy. Book smarts would definitely fall to Azukni, even if she has ADHD worse than I do. She’s both got attention deficit and hyperactive disorder, but she absolutely loves to learn. When she can manage, she’ll happily sit in a sunny corner and read for the entire day. And probably forget to eat because it’s such a good read! Lei, I’m learning about the history of the Jedi, it’s interest- babe, don’t laugh at me! Learning’s fun-- hey!

Name: Lei'ti Aranxia

Role: Former Slave

Species: Twi'lek

Gender: Female

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Age: 41 galactic standard years

Height 5'2", 157 cm

Lei'ti's family was sold into slavery before she could remember. When their mother died during an uneasy childbirth, Lei'ti was forced to take on the role of both older sister and surrogate mother - along with the help of a few other slaves. She thanks the stars that a Jedi came along, and was able to get Slovir out of there. He only did, though, because the Jedi sensed that the child was Force sensitive. Either way, Lei'ti ended up becoming the slave for a Hutt. For once, life seemed "stable," even if she hated being a slave to a Hutt.

Afterall, staying in one place for years of your life can make a place seem like the one thing you call "home." Unfortunately, after a rather terrible series of negotiations, the Hutt was forced to give her up to the Sith lord Xyrus Asha. She was then forced to put up with a Sith master she hated more than the Hutt, along with an Imperial agent that didn't seem to understand that the Sith is abusive.

3 sentence AU fic

y’know, surprisingly, none of my characters are really artists. specifically because i go to art school (and i don’t want to have a character seem like too much of a self insert.) (plus idk much about other majors)

not a pair so much as ‘a couple OCs derping around in art school’

Xyraan pulled back from her tablet, staring at the pattern with great stubbornness. “Lei’ti, how the hell do you come up with ideas?”

Honestly though, most of my characters don’t fit in. A lot of them are leftover from what Vertical City used to be, a more Republic government based guild, so this is really different for me. Currently, only a handful of characters COULD fit in:

Nalakii

Slovir

Lei’ti

Athenyia

Drelan

and, in extension, Alis

And as for the reasons they might fit in...

Nalakii would because she’s just a (mostly) independent Sith (apprentice until the start of KOTFE, but whatever) who doesn’t know what she wants to do, except for free slaves (because of her history as one) and crush the Empire. She’d join in mostly for those reasons, to finish off what’s left of the Empire and to get out as many aliens as possible. (Humans, she’s more ambivalent about.) I think her main issue in the gang would be that she wants power, a lot of it, and she’d probably always be fighting with the heads of the gang about it, unless she gets what she wants.

Slovir would fit in because he just kinda wanders around after the start of KOTFE. Considering that this specific swoop gang may be considering doing good acts for the community (e.g.; those biker gangs that protect the abused, that fosters animals, that hold back protesters at whatever events), I feel like he’d use that as justification for joining a gang. Since he’s force-sensitive (even if just mildly so), he’s likely going to be some sort of asset for the gang.

Lei’ti tags along because she needs to make sure Slovir doesn’t get himself into TOO much trouble. Where Slovir may be the brawn and poster child of whatever operation, she’s the one who’s actually behind it all. She’s the smarter, more cunning of the two siblings, and can see much further ahead than he can.

Athenyia doesn’t have much of a purpose other than “Leave me the hell alone” and “Let me hunt my big game.” I believe that she can hold a strong place in the gang, as long as she can stay mostly by herself or stay on a mostly uninhabited planet. Like Tatooine, which happens to be where the guild stronghold is lol. I don’t know how much of a hand she has for being a leader, though. We’ll have to see...

Drelan would be a great asset to the gang, since he’s a mechanic. He’s the one able to fix all the swoop bikes, the droids, etc. He still prefers to work on droids, though years of working in the Duros Sector and DEALING with swoop gangs for most of his adult life, he’s become very fluent in how bikes work.

Day 13: Use your favorite color in a graphic

I like to keep my issues drawn It's always darkest before the dawn

But with lei'ti, the obvious choice is the slave bikini. Thing is, I'm not too sure how comfortable I am putting her in one? Like, IC, she doesn't mind; she's used to wearing scanty clothes as a hutt slave. But as her creator, I don't know if I could put her in it IC.

WHAT SERVER IS SHE ON THO
