Characters Discussion The ABCs of our OCs

P is for PyleTom Vuton, who usually just goes by Tom. Another Clawmouse to add to the collection! He's a precocious little boy with confidence for days and a constant smile on his face usually hinting at one kind of scheme or another. He's very competitive, some might say over eager, and quite the troublemaker whose primary goal in life is having fun and telling stories. He's not a bad kid by any stretch of the imagination, but like many his age he can be quite self-centered at times and doesn't find value in anything that doesn't make him laugh. His two favorite classes are Swimming and Lightsaber Training, but he also wants to be a Consular and Healer some day betraying some hidden depths for those who pay close attention to his interests.

He received a rather prominent introduction in a Shattered Mind's Eye, and serves as something of the Deuteragonist in a Diary for the Historical Record.

 

Q is for Qualdo, a Weequay gamin on Pasir. Qualdo's parents, the Banquos, were loath to raise a third child, let alone a boy, and so attempted to abandon him by moving houses. Qualdo, who already came and went as he pleased, returned home to find them gone. When the landlord kicked him out for squatting, he found an abandoned comms tower to live in instead. He soon located his family's new resident by secretly following his eldest sister, but found family life boring, and so returned to his tower. Qualdo had a close relationship with the middle Banquo child, his older sister Portia. Qualdo appears in Stars in Their Multitudes.

 

R is for Rohan Tarkin, Grand Moff Tarkin and his wife Astoria's eldest son and second child. He followed his father into a military career, and as of one year post-Battle of Yavin, is serving as a captain on a star destroyer in the mid-rim. He is married to his best friend from university, Brienne (who knew exactly what sort of marriage she was getting into) and they have two children.

(So far, he has been Mentioned Only in "The Wrong Side of History" but there will be more of him soon.)

 

S is for Tarko Sanek and his brother Rihan Shellan. Tarko, a Dunai elder and twin to Rihan, was born on Bor Rhimmol in a hospital where religion forbade twins. He was taken away by a kind nurse and brought to an orphanage where he was found by the Jedi and raised as a Jedi-knight. First as a padawan from Gavin Maurishka and after Muarishka died taken by Tomy Itis. Both masters were engineers but Tarko became a special ops Jedi, studying on Anaxes with the military. During the clone wars he was injured and sent to Lingala with healer Leslie Tualan and a group of initiates. He survived order 66 on that planet, became a surgeon and travelled to Moniron where he met his twin Rihan and took a job in Noranan general hospital. Meeting twin girls the two married at the same day. Tarko and Rihan are featured in many of my stories.

 

T is for Tarkay, a Weequay scavenger-turned-innkeeper. Tarkay and his wife would scavenge battlefields during the Clone Wars, looting corpses and picking droids apart for scrap to sell. They eventually settled on Monderon with their two daughters, opening a tavern called the General of Wotalu, named after a Jedi Tarkay claimed to have rescued on the final day of the war. Tarkay was an unscrupulous businessman who never hesitated to pick his own patrons' pockets and upcharge them at every opportunity. Tarkay is a recurring antagonist in Stars In Their Multitudes.

 

U is for Cherith Unola. She was an Ossan Jedi-knight and a teacher in the Jedi-temple involved with Anakin Skywalker during my story Tetrahedron. She raised a padawan Carli Espino to knighthood and was killed during Order 66

 

V is for Vid Meehal, a Twi'lek holostar. Vid portrayed the protagonist of the Paladin series of fantasy genre holofilms. Vid's son, Than Meehal, was the boyfriend of Kaltha. When Than threatened to dump Kaltha over an unexpected pregnancy, Vid took his son's side in the conflict, stating that Than was too immature for fatherhood. Several years later, Vid would appear in a spinoff holofilm of the Paladin franchise entitled The Rogue's Tale, where advanced holoimaging would be utilized to make him appear as he had in Paladin III. Vid's biological granddaughter, Calisuma "Leela" Broque, would attend the premiere of the holofilm, though she would not enjoy it very much. Vid Meehal is a minor character in Stars In Their Multitudes.

 

W is for WM-565758
Walker Mechanic Walter, or just "Whoarckkh" as the Mimbanians call him.

Forgotten and left behind when the Imperial Forces abruptly abandoned their base, he survived on dehydrated meal packages and fear and loneliness. One day, to his terror, he looked out of his habitat module window to see himself surrounded by fearsome Mimban warriors.

Not a brave man. A mechanic, not a Stormtrooper. He took the only action possible. He walked out of his module, hands high in the air, waiting for a spear in his belly. And when that didn't come, he knelt in abject submission, and lay down face first in the mud.

 

X is for Xizarel, also known by the nicknames Zarel and Sheezy, was a young Falleen criminal. Xizarel was a street urchin who quickly rose to prominence in the criminal underworld due to his murderous talents. A vain youth, Xizarel prided himself on his expensive wardrobe and ability to seduce any woman with his powerful pheromones. Though he was a talented thief and watchman, he was disinterested in criminal activity which did not involve murder or sexual activity, and would often shirk his duties as a gang member whenever he could get away with it. Xizarel belonged to the Gasha Tonka gang, which operated in the Auril Sector, mainly on Pasir. Xizarel had a noncommittal relationship with Portia Banquo, the daughter of one of Gasha Tonka's frequent collaborateurs. Xizarel appears in Stars In Their Multitudes.

 

Y is for Yithilia Dweval, a poverty-stricken human single mother of three clinging to life on level 1009 of Coruscant. Despite her destitute circumstance she is one of the lucky ones, with a stable job as a nurse at a charity run hospital called Liberated Medical, Just Ask. She's the best friend a Aurasezesr, a Dressellian immigrant to her community who works in the sanitation department. Yithilia being one of the few members of the staff who treats the poor woman with anything resembling respect, and kindness, even offering to fill in for her job when she needs to be elsewhere.

Thus far she has only appeared in a rather one note role in A Mothers Mourning, but it wouldn't surprise me if she could find herself popping up again as part of Aurasezesr's entourage in future stories.

 

Z is for Ken Zamay, Ken was a human Jedi-knight and spy. He was the padawan of Jika Bale, knighted and on a mission with his partner Nil Monwa when he was injured on Alderaan after a crash. He was saved by members from the Alladea agristation. His former master Jika Bale rushed to Alderaan and decided to stay until Ken was recovered. But order 66 happened and the two stayed and went undercover. Ken escaped with Rian Solma and other undercover Jedi during a show in Aldera. He ended up on Moniron where he lived in the village Mitrinna until his death. He appears in many of my stories

 

A is for Moff Amulon, who replaced Moff Zeniff as governor of the Auril sector in 11 BBY. Aberon Halmath, an official appointed by Zeniff, was revealed to be guilty of identity fraud, leading to the arrest of Halmath and the removal of Zeniff. Following his appointment, Amulon took possession of the factories previously owned by Halmath. In his attempts to restructure Halmath's company, Amulon encountered resistance from Halmath's union boss, Kino Loy. Amulon saw Loy arrested and the union dissolved. Montal declined significantly under Amulon's leadership. Moff Amulon is mentioned in Stars In Their Multitudes.

 

B is for Blu. Blu is a feboar (feoboar) hunting dog, bred by the people of an unnamed Outer Rim planet to take on the ferocious feboars. Feboar hunters are long legged, powerful dogs with an acute sense of smell. These dogs are bred to track, chase and deal with wild feboars by pulling them to the ground and holding them until hunters arrive. Although most feboar hunting dogs are not allowed out in public due to their dangerous nature, Blu is a softy more likely to lick someone to death than bite them.

Blu, the puppy of Red, was given to Zallie Jinn and became her life-long companion, saving her from dangerous situations and protecting her when she got into something way over her head. Blu loves bacon, scratches behind the ear and laying in front of a warm fire.

You can read more about Blu in Good Boi OR The five times Blu saved Zallie's life and the one time she couldn't do the same.

 

C is for CC-1861: Clone Commander of the 78th division of the 403rd Legion and Ortatious Aski's personal officer during The Clone Wars. He has an annoying habit of almost dying, for which Aski's Padawan will eventually nickname him "Grave", though this professional Soldier might take offense to the implications and is quick to remind everyone that he only ends up in such situations because Aytaol Vooma's recklessness. He is a hardy man, and has tanked things that would kill other clones, but is certainly not invulnerable either, despite the legends his own men may have developed about him.

He has thus far only appeared in a brief but important chapter of A Shattered Minds Eye (And not even with a proper introduction), but I know we will be seeing him again eventually.
