And this got really fucking long so I hid most of the non-OT3 ones under a readmore for your scrolling convenience sjdhfakjdfadfgjasd

Lana/Theron/Corrain

Corrain, in Lana’s window: I thought I’d find you here! Theron, climbing past Corrain: WE COULD HAVE USED THE DOOR- - Lana: Corrain ! What did I tell you about lying? Corrain , looking down: ...That it only works on Theron. - Theron: *looks at Corrain * Theron: Baby boy. Baby. Theron: *looks at Lana* Theron: Evil. - Corrain : Hi, sorry I’m late. I was doing a couple of things and got distracted. Theron: I’m “a couple of things”. Lana: I’m “got distracted”. - Lana: *speaking Spanish* Theron: I know, I know. Corrain: You speak Spanish? Theron: No. I just know the phrase, 'this is all your fault' in every language Lana speaks. - Theron: The moon looks beautiful, doesn’t it? Lana, looking at Theron: Yeah… but do you know what’s more beautiful? Theron and Lana in unison: *sighs* Corrain - Corrain: If you water water, it grows. Lana: ...What. Theron: They've got a point. - Lana, watching Corrain do something stupid: Theron, you're officially only the second highest risk here. Theron: Hell yeah! I'm gonna— Lana: Don't finish that sentence, you'll move back up.

You're gonna get all of them then, LMAO! Moonrise Legacy takes on the Zarmahan.

Corrain: Depends on when they would meet, to be honest. If it's baby-Jedi Corrain, prior to the Vitiate Trauma, he'd just be confused. Praven kind of baffled him, and since Tyr's a pretty honorable Sith, it would only deepen that confusion. They'd get along eventually, it would just take Corrain time to figure out how the fuck he felt about it.

However, if Corrain first meets Tyr as the *Emperor's Wrath* rather than the *Empire's Wrath* - he's almost certainly never going to trust Tyr, ever. That first impression will stay with him far too long, and his hatred of Vitiate/Valkorion never truly fades - it's a scar he carries for the rest of his life. Meeting Tyr around JK chapter 3 or Ilum would mean Tyr gets caught up in that association.

But if they meet around the SoR or KOTXX point, he's likely to want to reach out - he'd see Tyr as someone who sticks to his ideals and he respects that a lot. They wouldn't see eye to eye, but that's something Corrain values because it challenges him to think outside the box. They'd probably have some pretty decent conversations.

Kalvonut: Kalvonut would probably be conflicted. He's extremely diplomatic and actively avoids confrontation where he can, so they'd 'get along' for the most part, but Kalvo would see Tyr as the embodiment of the culture he never had a connection to. As a Pureblood Sith taken in by the Jedi after his Revanite mother was killed by the Dark Council, trying to learn about Sith customs would be almost certainly viewed with suspicion by the Republic (though not the Jedi, per se) and so he stayed away.

Actually, on second thought? If Tyr isn't patient they probably wouldn't click - Kalvonut would almost certainly bombard him with questions. He's a massive nerd, lmao.

Kessin: They'll shoot him in the face before anything, unless Corrain or someone else they trusted told them to back off. It doesn't really matter when - they never trust Sith. Ever. Tyr would never be able to prove himself to Kessin, even if he wanted to.

Deitente: She can respect Tyr's sense of honor, but she'd view him more as a formidable opponent than anything else. So she'd respect him as a warrior and enemy, but that's about it - she's too loyal to the Republic to ever befriend him.

Eiri: They'd probably get along, to be honest. Eiri doesn't give a rat's ass about the Empire (because he's not Imperial, he's Zakuulan, and he maintains that identity) but he'd be able to respect that Tyr does. He'd also be the most comfortable in the face of Tyr's aloofness, as he's a fairly laid-back guy - he doesn't mind awkward conversations or silences or anything of the sort. He makes them comfortable, honestly.

Sekulyn: She'd see Tyr as a threat, and just for that she'd respect him. Even more so after they become Darth Occlus and rise to the Dark Council. They don't have a code of Sith honor in the traditional sense - but they don't half-ass it when going up against formidable opponents, and they wouldn't spare any effort if they had to take Tyr down. As long as they share the same goal, however - keeping the Empire strong (and therefore Sekulyn's powerbase secure) - then they'd get along fine. Probably pretty damn well, all things considered.

Elennye: She'd begrudgingly like Tyr. He puts the Empire first - as she does - and isn't one of the fuckhead Sith whose power struggles are tearing apart the Empire from the inside. Not to mention he's not a jackass about aliens. She'd gladly offer her services as the Star Cabal leader/Information broker to him when he needs them, as long as it doesn't fuck with Vaylin and Zakuul.

Astayr: Honorable Sith are a decent sort, and he's good in a fight, so xey would be more than happy to work with him if he's willing to pay hir fee. Plus, xey know that xey can trust any bounties he pays xem to take out to be fair play - there's not going to be falsified info or coercion (of Astayr) involved. Xey might be too rowdy for him though - xey would almost certainly try to get him to shoot net'ra gal with them and the other Mandalorians LMFAO

Since you were kind enough to do both- I will be too! (Corrain's part will be below a readmore, for Scrolling Convenience)

Sekulyn first! Beloved Darth Occlus <3

14. What is their favorite food? How often do they get to eat it?

Gruuvan Shaal kebabs (traditional Twi'lek food), and spiced aric tongue. She eats the latter when she wants to snack in public, so she gets it a lot when she's eating out (which she tries to do often). The kebabs are when she wants a quick snack at home.

17. Where were they born?

She doesn't remember, really. She only has scattered memory of the time before the ship taking her to the Jedi was raided and she was sold to the Sith on Ziost. Childhood trauma did wonders on her (sarcasm). If she ever wants to find out, however, she'll learn that she was born on Nar Shaddaa

32. What is their self esteem like?

Pretty high. She's got a lot of confidence in her own abilities and cunning, and she knows and enjoys actively irritating traditionalist Sith that hate her being nonhuman and a Dark Councilor.

46. How easily can they express emotions? How easily can they hide emotions?

She's fantastic at concealing her emotions, she just mostly doesn't have to choose to do so. As for *expressing* emotions- eh. does Zapping things and people with Force Lightning count? She's good at that. Not so much talking about it.

6, 28, & 45 for Sekulyn/Acina

Oooooh! Thank you for the ask! This was really fun to do :DDDD (OTP Ask Game)

6. Who would beg the other not to leave? Who has to leave to protect the other?

Ohhhh, this is a tough question for them! See- if these two ever got into a situation like that, where the options were "stay a couple" or "lose power, standing, and potentially your life among the Sith," then both Sekulyn and Acina would mutually split. Their position and power among the Sith is more important to each of them than their relationship - and they both know and understand why.

Part of the reason for this is that they don't get together until after they're both on the Dark Council and after the Revan Fiasco. So they're dating in the midst of the Eternal Empire absolutely tearing them to shreds, trying to hold their nation together, and the only way they successfully do that is by combining their powerbases. This remains the same after they sign the treaty with Zakuul - Acina's rule works because Sekulyn's powerbase is backing her own. If either of them have to lose all of that political influence for any reason, the Empire destabilizes and it's likely they'd be deposed and killed by conservative Sith.

So...neither of them would beg the other to stay if it endangered them, or their consolidated powerbase. They'd both be the one walking away.

28. What are their thoughts on pet names? Do they have any?

They think pet names are cute, but Acina is the only one that gets an actual pet name - Sekulyn calls her "darling one" or "sweet Cina" a lot, no matter where or when.

As for Sekulyn- Acina's terms of endearment for her are different, more of an affectionate usage of her titles than anything - and this is done purposefully, to pointedly remind their enemies that Sekulyn being both a Twi'lek and former slave is irrelevant, and that her position must be acknowledged. Acina tends to call Sekulyn "my lovely Lord Occlus" when speaking about her to others, and "dearest wife" when speaking to her in front of others.

When they're alone, however - Acina likes a bit of cheese, and will call her "Lyn-Lyn" or "Lynnie." They're sappy when they're not scaring the shit out of people.

45. Can they fall asleep without the other?

My Sith Inquisitor - Sekulyn!

Sekulyn - who is nonbinary (she/they) - is the darkest character of my Moonrise legacy, due mostly to me staying true to the Sith Inquisitor's origins as a slave. Sekulyn was originally a Force-sensitive child bound for a Jedi enclave, but their transport was captured by slavers when the Republic soldiers guarding them deserted on Nar Shaddaa, and they and all their fellow younglings were sold to the Empire.

However, unlike her human counterparts, Imperial bigotry got in in the way and instead of being shipped off to Korriban with the others, she was thrown in chains and sent to Ziost, where she was forced to labor rebuilding ancient Sith tombs. And the cruelty of the Imperial slavers and the injustice of Sekulyn's separation from their fellow Force-sensitives - combined with the painfully Dark auras of the Sith tombs - proved a terrifying cocktail that only fed their spiraling anger and hate for Empire, Republic, and fellow slaves alike. Eventually, this all comes to a head when they mature into adulthood, and their appearance begins attracting certain forms of Unwanted Interest.

Sekulyn is able to figure out how to Mind-Trick the first few Imperials that try to buy them away from the (relative) safety of the labor crews, but eventually they're faced with a strong mind who doesn't respond. And when finally faced with the prospect of a future as a courtesan - Sekulyn retaliates, conjuring a lightning bolt big enough to fry two Imperials on the spot. Ordinarily, this kind of stunt would result in death, but instead her burning hate and strength in the Force (and repeated electrocution of her captors) catch the Sith's attention - and so she's finally sent to Korriban to become Sith.

Due to these awful early-life experiences, Sekulyn is loyal to absolutely no one but herself, and has a sneering "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" kind of attitude. They take a kind of malicious pleasure in ignoring or toying with people they view as whiny, helpless, or spineless, and will occasionally stop to indulge themselves in wanton cruelty if they're feeling too irritable. However, on the converse side of this, Sekulyn has a fairly healthy respect for people who don't need her to do everything for them, and can be persuaded to offer assistance with personal vendettas or goals - so long as her own aims aren't interfered with. Furthermore, she doesn't take offense to those who shit-talk her as a person (rather than for being an alien), often engaging in nasty banter with them for her own amusement.

Well! I just played through this FP and - I'll have to say, I actually somehow played on the character I think would have been tapped to kill Darth Ikoral. I didn't even mean to XD

Sekulyn, as a Twi'lek Sith Lord and my Inquisitor. is actively one of the most radically progressive Sith around. They HATE any sort of xenophobia towards aliens and considering Thanaton's grudge towards them, they're more than happy to leave any and all Sith traditionalists to burn. Bonus points if they get to watch said xenophobic traditionalists go down in flames.

In addition, Sekulyn likes Malgus's approach to being Sith - she's perfectly fine annihilating everyone onboard the Red Reaper at his request. Especially since it means she can cash in on a favor later. (Of course, she likes power more than Malgus, which is why she doesn't join him in his Rebellious Phases, but- eh)
