Characters Discussion The ABCs of our OCs

Nisha Vyom-Vokar a human female business woman from https://boards.theforce.net/threads/dont-look-back-oc-pre-rots-disney-quote-challenge.50046341/. She is married to Javed Vyom-Vokar and together they have four children: Kalyan, Kamakshi, Singh and Lakshmi. During a family trip to the Outer Rim the family was taken prisoner by pirates and both Nisha and Javed were brutally tortured.

When they were finally rescued it was discovered that her youngest child Lakshmi was missing and was nowhere to be found.

Nisha copes by not dwelling on the past.

 

W is for Erik Weasa. Professor Erik Weasa was a surgeon in the Coronet city university hospital and he was the main teacher of Jarin Keana. He taught self defence as a pass time in the university. He appears in my stories about Jarin and his diary.

 

X is for Karan Xothi He was a Dunai elder surgeon living in Monir on Moniron and adopted Tim Kirwin when he crashed on Moniron after the purge. He appears in my stories about Tim Kirwin.

 

Y is for Yrin Llyr, the first Jedi OC I wrote and therefore wildly not canon. A Corellian Jedi, he was padawan to Master Khil. He was one of the Jedi assigned to help with post-war humanitarian efforts on Naboo shortly after his knighting. He trained two apprentices and was involved in the infantry during the clone wars. At the fall of the republic, he went into hiding with his wife Ana. He died defending her on Yavin and never lived to see his son born.

 

Z is for Zinn Yannata, a Duros Jedi Knight from the Corellian System, around halfway between the Second and Third Alsakan Conflicts. Much of her role involves dealing with the suffering caused by deep poverty and the resulting increase in violent crime, following the collapse of Corellia's shipbuilding industry. Recent pushes to reestablish the Republic Navy give her hope that the system's fortunes can be turned around.

 

A is for Aytaol Vooma, a kindhearted, blond-haired girl from Chandrilla, brought to the Jedi Order at a young age. She likes flowers, tooka cats and has a fiery determination to do what is right by any means necessary. Plus, a slightly mischievous side that first drew the attention of Jedi Knight Ortatious Aski, who after some prodding from his friends, took the girl as his Padawan learner shortly before the outbreak of the Clone Wars. She's a lover not a fighter but I pity anyone who tries to keep her off the field of battle, and even more those who try to threaten her teacher.

Meet her in a future chapter of The Shattered Minds Eye.

 

B is for Jika Bale, a likeable man leading the Jedi intel department until he rushes to the aid of his former padawan Ken Zamay on Alderaan. He gets undercover after order 66. And sees his friends leaving after a show with animals where he will be hired to protect Leia Organa and her family.(story They are animals)
His master was Ker Zomorian and one of the recent stories he appears is Angsty moments for Ker Zomorian post 24

 

C is for Cadir Maneas, who has the misfortune of being Admiral Ozzel's orderly aboard the Executor and who is responsible in particular for looking after Ozzel's cat. I say "misfortune" because being Ozzel's orderly can't be fun, but having to look after Whispurr is worse. Luckily for him, Vader takes care of Ozzel in the end, and Whispurr can take care of herself, thank you very much. You can read about his (mis)adventures in The Whispurr Omnibus.

 

D is for Rungox Drarte, a Zabrak Jedi that was part of the founding stages of the Jedi Order. A contemporary of Shroft, Illinlude, and Huy, Drarte was often part of the committees that set the rules and ordinances of the Order. An unflappable diplomat, Drarte was often the voice of reason amongst his more fiery counterparts.

You can read about Drarte in Rule Maker

 

E is for Elias Cain, a Jedi Knight and close friend of Ben Skywalker, as well as the first mate (and eventual captain) of the Daybreak. First introduced in Enter the Foreign, where he finds love with fellow crewmate Arden Veiss and faces his own demons in his battles against the Sith, Elias emerges as a positive and stalwart member of the resurgent Jedi Order. As of All These Broken Pieces, he and Arden live at one of the Jedi enclaves with their four kids, and Elias has become a mentor to multiple students, including Ben's younger Solo cousins.

 

G is for Jaszvin Gott, a female Iridonian Zabraki Jedi Knight and one half of a sibling team with her brother Giylrut Gott. She's the brains of their pair and he's the brawn. After stumbling on their relationship in their teen years, they arranged with the Jedi Council a way to maintain their connection while honoring the orders nonattachment principles. She would go on to train a Nikto Apprentice named I'tvik Thoom, and eventually advise Depa Billaba on her relationship with her own sibling. Jaszvin Gott is a reoccurring character in A Shattered Minds Eye.

 

H is for Hxitik the Grorandhi. Hxitik is a giant space!hedgehog from the planet Grorand in the Unknown Regions, but despite his cute and fluffy appearance he's a seasoned spacer and the captain of the flagship of the Grorandhim that joins the Empire of the Hand in a campaign against the Yuuzhan Vong on the edge of the galaxy in 8 ABY. So far he has made only brief appearances in Ἀνάγκη – Necessity beyond Sway, 35:07:01 GrS and The Colonel’s Datapad, but he'll be getting his own story in Worlds beyond the Stars before the UDC XI is over.

 

I is for Imogen Tarkin. She is the eldest of Grand Moff Tarkin and his wife Astoria's five children. As of one year after her father's death, she is a thirtysomething failed academic (because who needs frail and flawed people to teach unused languages when there are droids) drifting through life, one day at a time of terminal ennui. She doesn't believe in the Empire, and she doesn't much believe in the rebel alliance either. When she makes one of her first attempts at changing her life, she succeeds--though not at all in the way she might have expected.

She appears in The Wrong Side of History.

 

J is for Jim. A Common Naboo Emerald Arboreal Weevil.

Living a simple weevil life high in the a green Nabooan Forest, until he chews on a bit of leaf infected with bacteria scientifically known as "Bactus Suisidious", setting off a chain of events of Galactic proportions.

 

K is for Jarin Keana. A Jedi surgeon living during the days of the high republic. As a Corellian Jedi he was allowed to marry with Elsi Bel Innis and settle on Corellia where he got a son Luka. He has written all about it in his diary Cat clan member, the diary of Jarin Keana DDC 2024

 

L is for Huat Loraw, a crotchety old Devonian and Battle Master of the Jedi Temple preceding Anoon Bondara and Cin Drallig. In the century before the films he has trained thousands of Jedi, and taken up a no-nonsense approach. He can be extremely harsh, unfeeling and critical of the younglings in his charge. He has grown use to driving his pupils to tears, and more than a few view him as an unfeeling monster to be avoided at all cost, but deep down his crankiness is a coping mechanism to deal with the reality that he knows that every single lightsaber lesson he teaches will determine if his students have a long and happy life or will be left unprepared and doomed in the face of crisis. He plays a significant role in the early chapters of a Shattered Minds Eye.

 

M is for Gavin Maurishka, a likeable Serindian Jedi engineer with a big yellow moustache, yellow hair, yellow skinned and brown eyes. He was working in the hangars of the Jedi-temple and famous for his barbecues. He had Keith Warris and Tarko Sanek as his padawans and instructed Ker Zomorian when he was the padawan of Makan Arin and studying to become an engineer. He is famous for his dirty greasy appearance and when he smiles the tips of his moustache are dancing. His nickname is Grease and he works often with the engineers of the Jedi Intel department. He appears in many of my stories. One of them is Angsty moments for Ker Zomorian Another is Spooks are good at finding and is in the 2025 diary Stellar Express diary DDC2025 the buyer of the freighter

 

N is for Nazmat Koch. She's an artist whose immense talent is recognised on a galactic scale and a professor in the Galactic Academy of Fine Arts, where she teaches history of art, even after the academy is eventually renamed the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts when you-know-what happens. She has the appearance, the voice, the class and most importantly the dry wit of Judi Dench. She is the OC for which I developed the most iterations so far: she appears in the Legends-compliant version of Ἀνάγκη – Necessity beyond Sway and its various spin-offs but also in an entirely different storyline with an entirely different cast of characters in The Tale of Noora and Seyf, and that's before we even get into the Ἀνάγκη/Song!verse crossover Song of Fate that I wrote after @Mira_Jade adopted her for her own story And Dances With the Lilliadils.

 

L is for Dave d'Lorrion an admiral of the republic defending the great hospital on New Holstice with his stardestroyer Indefatigable. He was essential for rescuing a Jedi-apprentice during the purge and escaped with doctors from Hospital squadron to his home planet Lingala, a planet shunned by the empire because of a deadly plague that was supposed to rage there but was a ruse from the planet's protectors the Sheir-Irel. He first appeared in my story Reunion.

 

M is for Manôl Vos. He's a prominent citizen of his homeworld of Kiffu; he's the bek (elder) of the Kunisu subclan of the Vos and the custodian of the Pelekys, a valuable ancient axe forged many millennia ago by the founder of Clan Vos. He's also the grandfather of Ayesha Eskari, the OC protagonist of my Ἀνάγκη!verse, and he teaches her about her Kiffar heritage in The Day of the Founders.

 

N is for Noelani Syndulla-Jarrus the young daughter of Ronen Syndulla-Jarrus and Noemi Bridger. Noelani inherited her father’s short lekku and her mother’s red hair, along with her mother’s (and grandfather’s) beastwarden abilities. Even though she is just a toddler, she attracts small animals when she plays in the jogan orchard near her home…and a not-so-small creature, a Loth-wolf cub named Sashi, who is a an incipient “person warden”. The two immediately take to each other, much to their parents’ surprise and consternation. Noelani appears in Happiness Is a Warm Loth-Wolf.

 

O is for Ohara Uam: A mischievous Bith youngling with sticky fingers c.43 BBY, Ohara is a relatively minor character in a Shattered Minds Eye, where this child makes his introduction by casually stealing from the rest of his clanmates and being chastised by Depa Billaba, who had only recently become a Jedi Master and Teacher. He is very much a living embodiment of the difficulties that await his instructor going forward as she acclimates to her new role as a teacher. Despite his borderline criminal tendencies as a child, he will grow up to be a dignified Jedi Knight during one of the most intense periods of galactic history and as any teacher would, Depa cares for him and his clanmates deeply and feels responsible to ensure he is given the instructions and resources necessary to go far in life.

 

P is for Grand Duchess Peascodd of Geonosis. I mean, with a name like that, how is it even possible that she hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet? A Geonosian noblewoman and notable plangonologist (which is another P-word that deserves to appear in this thread ), Grand Duchess Peascodd is the brainchild of @Findswoman and made her first appearance in Pandemonium at a Hutt's Garden Party. She's not the most pleasant person, but you're guaranteed to laugh whenever she appears. She comes and goes in Finds's stories that feature Bonvika the Hutt and has made a few cameos in some of my own fics (you can find a complete list in the intro notes here).
