Meet Elvira Gwandarae

This is my first Swtor character Elvira Gwandarae. She deep yet detached diplomat whose seeks to truly understand the Jedi Code for herself. Her drive to grasp the essence of the force which flows through her and alters her life is unquenchable. It characterized her journey forward.

So far she has a ship dubbed The Visionary’s Resolve. Which only has three crew members besides herself, Qyzen, Tharan, and Holiday. I imagine they’ve got quite the dynamic going on already.

They’ve currently finished chapter one of the consulars story it has become incredibly personal for Elvira who truly respected Youn Par. She incredibly angry for the destruction that the plague caused and is determined to prevent it from harming anything more then it already has.

Here this first outfit that I’m proud of I’ve so far. It’s her stealthy/operative outfit yet still feels Jedi.

I hope to share more about Elvira and the other characters I make for Swtor. Since it’s been a delightful so far.

Crodek Ger’Nok

Titles: Sith Lord,

Home Planet: Dromund Kaas

Age: ?

Backstory: His father Ragnarr was a Jedi knight before falling in love another Cathar, the lovely Nenasu. So Ragnarr renounced the Jedi and followed his passions to the dark side. Although he went on to become full Sith, Ragnarr’s Jedi ideals of duty, temperance, and community are still with him. Especially so in his family life as the father of a litter of five boys.

Fighting Style: Vengeance Juggernaut/?

Crodek favors the simplicity of single lightsaber as it allows him to focus on more what he can improve on while fighting.

Crodek is unsurprisingly for a Sith an adept user of form VII: Juyo. The sheer aggression that juyo expresses is powerful, but precisely directed and it can be stronger still. This is what Crodek’s measured light saber assault exemplifies.

He is despite his considerable bulk, Crodek is incredibly fast, leaping, and dashing around constantly. He has the reflex’s and senses of a cathar with the force pumping it all up to hundred.

Relationships:

Love Interest: none (at the moment)

Family: Ragnarr (father), Nenasu (mother), Tovah , Ryosh, Jarivan, Norik (all brothers).

Apprentices: Jaesa Willsaam

Best Friends: none

Friends: Vette (dubiously), Malavai Quinn, Pierce, Broonmark.

I just accidentally started as relationship with Felix. Like I not mad about, just surprised. Like man over here chatting to Elvira and she knows somethings up, but being Jedi doesn’t have that much experience with romance. So she does not realize he’s into her. What she does sense is that he’s hiding something, so naturally she wants the truth from him, and it comes out and then boom! He kisses her.

After this I think Elvira probably went to her cabin and just sat on the end of bed just, shook. Like, oh that happened.

I genuinely didn’t think Elvira would romance anybody during this play through because of how closely she follows the Jedi code. But this happened and it could work, Felix is sweet dude and he offered her something precious that Elvira wants to honor. So yeah it’ll be interesting to see how they feel their way through this budding relationship.

Jedi Consular Ch 3 Thoughts.

Finished JC’s class story with Elvira. It’s definitely made her more Jaded. Her feelings on the dark side much more defined after dealing with the First Son.

Dealing the possession that is the Empire Child was especially upsetting as she did kill all these people were totally not in their right mind. They lived for lives until being possessed, by helping others only for the First Sun hide that away to turn them into his own personal pawn. The realization that she killed people whose actions weren’t truly there is just haunting.

Yet it was the most decisive way to stop more from being hurt. She was only able to save master Syo. Who will forever be trailed by the wake of destruction he caused when he wasn’t himself.

She did literally everything she could to make the best of tragedy.

The mushroom flavor for the spell casting is *chef’s kiss*

My Spore druid got a new look! and some visual for the spells he normally use.

Jazz is the best goober. These dynamic poses turned out great and really do suit him.

pose practice with my fav goober B)

Turned out good!

SWTOR OC sketches! Pt.3

I've got 3 sketches freshly out of the oven! I drew @nekorinnie's best birb Evo, @catohphm's sweet guy Fernie and @blackberry-command-cap's hippie smuggler Shae'zena!

Evo was truly amazing to draw, I've always wanted to draw him in his Asizi (original @nekorinnie's species) form and I'm really proud of this drawing! I really like Fernie, I think he's a cutie patootie so I'm really happy how he turned out c:! Also, a hippie smuggler? I just had to draw her lol.

Again, if y'all want to color these sketches feel free to do so just be sure to not alter the original drawing (like tracing, removing the signature, etc.) and to give credit! Also if you want the uncompressed file dm me!

Part. 1 & Part. 2

Commission for the lovely @swtorpadawan 

Yeah this, I feel like a lot the of the Jedi are boring and suffocatingly dogmatic complains come from not really understanding this idea.

I think the most frustrating/disheartening misconception I often see about Star Wars, and the Jedi specifically, is the misguided notion that love and attachment are one and the same. Which in turn leads to fundamental misunderstandings of who the Jedi are and what their teachings on non-attachment mean. While you absolutely can be attached to those you love, you do not need attachment to have love for someone. That's as true in Star Wars as it is in real life. The reason that Jedi teach non-attachment is because attachment leads to suffering, and suffering is a path to the Dark Side. This, like many other facets of Jedi philosophy, takes inspiration from Buddhism. Buddhism teaches non-attachment for the same reason: to mitigate or eliminate suffering, which is caused by greed, delusion, and/or aversion. This does not mean that the Jedi are forbidden from loving others. They are forbidden from developing attachments to others, which is why the Order, by the time of the Clone Wars, has outright banned romantic relationships. It's hard to be in a romantic relationship without attachment. But Jedi can love, and do. We see beautiful friendships throughout Star Wars. Parental-like relationships between Master and Padawan. Sibling-like relationships between Master and Padawan. Outside of the Clone Wars era, especially in the High Republic, we often see the Jedi in acts of loving service. Obviously, what that looks like varies from individual to individual, but that loving compassion for all living things is absolutely instrumental to being a Jedi.

Galactic Standard Time Measurement

60 Seconds = 1 minute

60 minutes = 1 hour

24 hours = 1 day

Galactic Standard Calendar

5 days = 1 week

7 weeks = 1 month

35 days = 1 month

368 days = 1 year

10 months + 3 Fete (Festival) weeks + 3 holidays = 1 year

Fete/Festival Weeks

New Year Fete Week = first five days of the new year (takes place before the first month)

Festival of Life =  five days between the sixth and seventh months. It was marked by parties, get-togethers, and gift-giving.

Festival of Stars =five days between the ninth and tenth months of the year that celebrates interstellar space travel. It was marked by vacations to other worlds most often.

Days of the Week

Primeday (first day of the week)

Centaxday (second day)

Taungsday (third day)

Zhellday (fourth day)

Benduday (fifth/last day of the week)

The Galactic Standard Calendar is based on the luno-solar calendar of Coruscant (from before the official founding of the Empire). It is the ‘standard’ in both the Republic and the Empire for basic measurements. However, there are many, many variations for various species, planets, etc. This is just the ‘standard’ used; similar to measurements of weight, etc. 

Basically, this is not the ‘only calendar’ but the one used most often by governments, the military, etc. to be the ‘standard’. I thought it might be useful for people writing or roleplaying in the Star Wars galaxies to have a rough idea.

NOTE: There is mention in some sources of a 12 month/368 day calendar, but it doesn’t mention length of weeks, months, etc. other than ‘30-31 days’ so basically seems to be a ‘real life calendar’. I’m not 100% sure which is considered ‘canon’ so I choose to list the one that was a bit more ‘different’ for fun.
