Hi, everyone! It's Louisa here (for Iphigenia and a few others~), and I am trying very hard to get back into RP. Boo, work.

So! I have a kind of getting-to-know-you game we can play. Maybe it will be...fun? Hopefully? /cringes at self

I'm curious about everyone's pups' and their respective canons, and I'm hoping others are as well! So, in this post, feel free to link to video clips/blogs/general flailing about the worlds from which your characters come from. Go wild! Wax poetic! Just be excited about media!

Also, if anyone wants to use this post as a sort of ~enabling~ thing, go right ahead. We probably all need more characters to play, right?

Indeed. I figured it'd be more interesting to play an exiled Sith who has next to no resources, and is more or less forced on the run, and having to cope with that, and learn from it, rather than one who's at the peak of her power.

And as her profile more or less states, she's not Darth Zash's apprentice (although when I'm writing her, I do picture her with the canon sith inquisitor's voice, rather than anyone else's. No one else can do the sassy tone nearly as well), but some other Sith Lord's instead so I can have more freedom to do what I want in terms of backstory and the like. Though on that note, I really should name him at some point.

Plus it makes shit less awkward with Companion characters, imho, if any of them ever turn up, since I've got my own ideas on how to play and characterize her (Plus I like the idea of her being isolated and on her own).

Good to know she's not under Zash specifically.

Since every player would play different with the companions, this makes a lot of sense to me (please tell me Andronikus 'voiced by spike speigal' Raval was your friend/husbando in that playthrough he is srsly the best).

He was until I got Ashara, who more or less gave me the idea of Dia-the-Gray-Sith as we now know her.

But yeah, she's not under Zash specifically since I figure SWTOR covered that kind of story fairly well without my help. Her former master is a Sith Lord still obsessed with history and artifacts (and it was on one of these artifact finding missions that she nearly died), but he's got different motivations than she did about it (he's not seeking immortality as such, more interested in learning from history and using it--hell, he sees Dia's survival as a kind of bizarrely fascinating thing, which is why he hasn't had his new apprentice hunt down and assassinate her yet).

And honestly, I find it interesting and fun to flip the concept on its head. We usually see Jedi go gray or straight up dark, to even Sith. While Dia probably won't ever become a Jedi (she's too passionate and emotionally driven), I find it fascinating to play with the idea, especially in a canon famous for its Absolutes.
