Ask Me About SWTOR NPCs Thank you, @jjjwhovian !

And… hoo, boy! Did you just hit the jackpot! LOTS of notes on these two!

So first for Rylee Dray - You may already be familiar with some headcanons I have for her in my Halcyon Legacy: The Slice Girls Its possible that not long after Zu'fanda Pampya (my Sith Inquisitor) was killed, the Cult of the Screaming Blade collapsed. Destris Veran, Rylee's partner, was killed during the fallout, and Rylee was soon left on her own, without protection. Its possible that SOMEONE snapped her up, effectively enslaving her for her slicer skills. Maybe its also possible that someone else (like Kira, Mako, and company) will hopefully come rescue her someday. (We can hope.)

The Lady of Pain - the leader of the Exchange of Tatooine - does not take the Eternal Empire's subjugation of Tatooine well. She conducts a vicious guerilla-style resistance campaign against the Zakuulans. But after about a year, it goes south, and she's captured by Tarso Gren, the Exarch of Tatooine. Imprisoned aboard the Star Fortress, she's subjected to…. well. It's bad. I'm not getting into it. A few years later, Tarso is visiting a colleague: Forta Gair, the Exarch of Belsavis. On a lark - visiting a prison-world with a dreaded criminal of his own - he brought the Lady of Pain with him. The two Exarchs were both a bit sadistic by this point, and it eventually occurred to them to have an impromptu gladiator fight between the Lady sand someone Forta was keeping prisoner. (You'll recall Zakuulans have a history of being into gladiator fighting, including with enslaved fighters.) The fight was vicious. It started unarmed, but both were allowed to use random objects as makeshift weapons. Both women were just fighting for survival, knowing what would happen to them if they didn't fight. Ultimately, the Lady of Pain lost. She died because two Exarchs had a bet going, and were looking for cheap entertainment. Oh - and her opponent? Who was forced to kill her? That was an imprisoned twi'lek smuggler named Bas'riish.

Thank you!

Ask Me About SWTOR NPCs Thanks for the ask, @voidendron !

I have, indeed, spoken about Praven before! @isi7140 asked about him once, and I referred them to this little gem. Needless to say, he's doing alright.

He's definitely one of my favorites from the Jedi Knight story!

Regarding Watcher Three… I have more bad news.

So after the dissolution of Imperial Intelligence, the former Minister setup (the former) Watcher Three with a new identity, and he takes a nice little data analyst job, making decent money and otherwise keeping a low profile. Generally not harming anyone.

And nobody bothered him because no one knew who he was! The Minister had done a good job helping him hide.

Then, years later, some months after KOTET, several former members of Imperial Intelligence are suddenly murdered in the space of a week.

Watcher Three is one of them.

True story - I have a WIP that opens with Gahraath (Cipher Nine) and Kaliyo standing over Watcher Three's corpse, trying to find out what happened on behalf of the Alliance.

They know the Minister and others have been killed. They know they are almost certainly on the 'kill list' themselves.

Who could be responsible? Who could have been clever enough to find the former Intelligence personnel?

(Dun-dun-DUUUUUN!)

Character Development “Hard Mode” Meme: send a number & character to my ask box and I’ll write an answer/headcanon in reply.

What does your character like in other people? Dedication and a sense of justice, I think. Compassion. A willingness to sacrifice. A desire to leave the galaxy in a better condition than when they found it. Corellan works with a lot of people with a vast array of backgrounds and beliefs. But there is a cord running through (most) of them.

What does your character dislike in other people? Selfishness. Not being able to distinguish their own interests with everyone else's. Intentionally sacrificing others for their own desires.

What did your character dream of being or doing as a child? Did that dream come true? Corellan wanted to be a hero. drumbeat
