wip whenever

tagged by @sullustangin (well, tagged @firecatwashere which is also me but i do all of my fandomposting over here) (thank you for the tag!!)

tagging @templarhalo @tiredassmage (sorry if you've already been tagged, and as always zero pressure if you don't want to)

i've been way too busy with school this term to write anything new, but here's another fluffy snippet from the collection of Elara-and-polycule centred stories i've been slowly plotting out

Are you ready, my love?” Lana asked, standing by the door to the captain’s quarters.

“Almost,” Elara said as she stepped out of the fresher. “How do I look?”

“Breathtaking.” Her hair had been curled loosely, and a crown of Chandrilan t’iil blossoms sat atop her head, tendrils intertwining with the strands of hair closest to her face. The dress she wore was light and shimmery, the same purple as the flowers. The soft off-the-shoulder neckline gave way to a gauzy, ethereally flowing skirt, and Lana found herself lost for words. Instead, she reached through the Force to convey her appreciation, eliciting a soft "oh" from her partner.

“Green suits you,” Elara replied, and Lana felt herself blush. Her own dress was a similar style to her soon-to-be wife’s, with the same neckline and airy layers of fabric, but long sleeves that came to a subtle puff at the wrists in a rich forest green.

Autisticbones' SWTOR character list

this post is where i keep track of (most of) the characters who appear in my SWTOR-verse in various roles and some basic info about them, although it's far from comprehensive. i edit periodically to add updates, which can include anything from photo changes to adding entire new characters to adding this blurb and the read more button below it bc this post is getting so long it was making my blog difficult to navigate. i'm always down to answer questions about any of my characters, i don't bite! thanks for hanging out!

[last updated 03/17/24]

the Friss legacy

Jedi Knight - Elara Friss

they/them

Age at start of class story: 23

Height: 5'10

Sexuality: Bi ace polyam

Combat style: Sentinel

Lightsaber colour: Green and amethyst. In-game, these are their main and offhand colours, but in my canon they're left-handed and therefore the amethyst is their main colour.

Elara starts out as upstanding Jedi, a bit of a goody-two-shoes type, but the war wears them down. They start to get weirder as they figure themselves out, eventually finding themselves in a leadership position they never wanted but can't deny they're good at. Every so often someone around the base on Odessen finds themselves deeply startled to hear them let out a string of expletives when their datapad glitches out or they drop whatever they're carrying, because the Alliance Commander, Jedi Battlemaster, Hero of Tython, every public persona they've ever worn, does not swear, but Elara Friss sure fuckin does.

In a semi-closed quad with Doc, Theron, and Lana.

i did not know any swtor lore when i started and discovered later that elara dorne exists and thought it was hilarious

Jedi Consular - Aethrii Talera

she/her

Age at start of class story: 19

Height: 5'2

Sexuality: Aroace

Combat style: Guardian

Lightsaber colour: Green, white-blue-purple

Aethrii is serene and stubborn, accustomed to being underestimated due to her age and size. Her enemies often regard the calm certainty she emanates as Jedi foolishness, and she uses their overconfidence to her advantage. She developed a couple of motor tics as a side effect of Force-shielding several Jedi Masters from Vivicar's plague, which occasionally make it difficult for her to use her lightsaber or move with the agility required in combat, and in those moments she calls on her companions to protect her while she focuses on telekinetic defenses.

Aethrii and Elara have known each other since they were 15 and 18, when Elara arrived at the enclave Aethrii was raised in.

Smuggler - Te'vrila Sohnn

she/they

Age at start of class story: 27

Height: 5'7

Sexuality: Demiromantic, bisexual

Combat style: Gunslinger

Pure of heart, dumb of ass. Te'vrila started out as a properly legal freighter pilot, flying cargo in the Bantha's Bounty, but fell into smuggling when money got tight, just trying to get the job done and make a living without getting too tangled up in the process. Instead, she failed upward spectacularly, taking down the Voidwolf and stealing his underworld throne.

Meets Sav in a business deal, eventually starts seeing xem romantically during the Zakuulan occupation.

Sith Warrior - Virinistra Thul

she/her

Age at start of class story: 24

Height: 6'3

Sexuality: Bisexual

Combat style: Juggernaut

Lightsaber colour: Red

The daughter of lower Thul nobility who joined the Imperial military, Virinistra had a comfortable upbringing on Dromund Kaas. She presents a physically imposing figure, but is often presumed to operate on pure brute force, leading to her opponents' downfall.

Sith Inquisitor - Sav'eera Lenneji Kallig

she/they/xe/xem

Age at start of class story: 23

Height: 5'4

Sexuality: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sapphic of some sort

Combat style: Assassin

Lightsaber colour: Purple (specifically the colour of the high roller saberstaff with an open colour crystal); sometimes red or yellow.

Sav'eera is vibrant and unapologetic, impulsive and unambiguous. They're out to raise the dead for a midnight snack. She's not cruel, most of the time - but she is ruthless. Xe has a soft spot for Ashara, and sometimes ends up making choices xe'd rather not because of it.

Flirted with Andronikos as banter, had a few flings, dated Lana up until Manaan, ultimately ends up asking out Te'vrila after they've made a few deals trading in Sith artifacts.

Imperial Agent - Danestri Avela

they/she

Age at start of class story: 24

Height: 5'6

Sexuality: Bi, greyromantic

Combat style: Operative

Danestri joined the Imperial Military Academy on Dromund Kaas when they were 15, looking for an escape from the life of watching her mother barely make ends meet for years. They excelled and went into medical courses, only to be abruptly recruited to Intelligence at the end of their third year of medic training. Most of her squadmates assume she dropped out. One or two swapped her name into the old ghost story of Intelligence recruiting that upper-years always told to scare the freshmen, despite genuinely believing it to be no more than a story.

Married to Vector and partnered with Shara (formerly Watcher Two/Keeper). The rest of her crew knows about Vector but only Vector knows about Shara.

Trooper - Vedru Cresik

he/they

Age at start of class story: 26

Height: 5'11

Sexuality: Bisexual

Combat style: Gunslinger

Having grown up on Coruscant with his moms and sisters, Vedru joined the army wanting to make a difference. Havoc Squad threw them for a loop, and they've had to reevaluate how they can still pull that off.

He and Aric and Elara are all flirting obliviously with each other and haven't figured it out yet.

Bounty Hunter - Kestrala Mevos

does not care (any pronouns)

Age at start of class story: 25

Height: 5'3

Sexuality: fuck your labels doesn't know, doesn't care (gender: Butch Bitch)

Combat style: Powertech

Kes is just here to kick ass and take credits, she doesn't like the spotlight too much. Has worked for the Voidwolf, and continues to take jobs for the Voidhound.

Extra - Kyelasi Tirje

she/they

Age at start of class story: 18

Height: 5'5

Sexuality: demiromantic, grey-ace

Combat style: Marauder

Kyelasi was Zash's apprentice immediately prior to Sav'eera, and she was granted independence as a Sith Lord to allow Zash to seek out Sav. They're about a year older than Sav, and the two become acquainted throughout Sav's run of the class story, bonding over being alien Sith and also over having similar research interests.

Toma Haskren

she/her

Age at start of class story: 12

Height: 5'3

Combat style: Marauder

Lightsaber colour: Red

Toma is Danestri's estranged half-sister. They were quite close as children, but Toma was sent off to the Sith quite young and Danestri was erroneously told that she did not survive her final trials on Korriban, while Toma came to believe that Danestri should have rescued or protected her from the Sith and has grown to resent her for it.

[autisticbones]

blorbo birthday!!

it's Elara's birthday and a year since i started playing swtor, and i miss yelling about her on here, so my asks are open!

#they always are but especially so today bc i want to get back to posting about my own characters regularly #oc: elara friss #blorbo birthday!!!

[autisticbones]

i need to yell about my swtor polycule

my jedi knight elara is married to doc but also partially romanced theron in shadow of revan and then romanced lana through kotfe and i am still So Mad that the game forced me to choose between lana and doc after ossus

the reunion scene with doc also is just so deeply out of character to me??? i've gotten influence points with him for flirting with others with him as my companion do not tell me this man has suddenly decided he's monogamous

anyway

elara marries doc before they land on dromund kaas to take out the emperor, and they both go into it knowing it changes the name of their relationship but not the contents of it

then they meet theron and elara starts flirting with him and soon enough so does doc and eventually it turns into a Thing, it's pretty on-and-off/casual because theron has to be pried away from his work when he can be reached but none of them mind

then kotfe happens and elara is kind of freaking out over everything and lana is the only familiar face to be found and they start to have feelings for each other

at some point they have a heart to heart in the swamp about whether those feelings are genuine or a product of being the only familiar face around and decide that the only way to know is to stick it out until they find their people again

theron kinda backs off from being involved with elara on odessen because he doesn't want to piss off lana

when they find doc on ossus, lana invites him to odessen and he tells elara he's glad she's found loves to support her through the ~6 years now since he last saw her and asks if she wants to pick up where they left off too, which of course she does

at some point in all this lana has failed to catch on that a) she has a bit of a thing for theron and b) elara is not monogamous, and gets it in her head that she and elara have run their course

so they have a fairly weepy conversation (because elara cries when anyone else cries in front of her and lana is a mess) about all of that and how if lana isn't comfortable with being involved in a polyamorous relationship then elara will respect that, but doc returning doesn't inherently mean they have to part ways

essentially the only direction where there isn't much non-platonic involvement is between lana and doc

they try all of once and it just doesn't spark so they decide instead to bond over loving their mutual partners

also lana takes one look at doc and tells elara that she now understands why she's such an incorrigible flirt

eventually the four of them settle down somewhere and adopt a bunch of loth cats because i'm feral for giving soft epilogues to characters who go through hell and back in canon

[autisticbones]

something i've neglected ironing out the particulars of but do eventually need to address is how Theron's betrayal and the resulting loss of trust is handled by Elara and Lana (and Doc, though to a lesser degree because he wasn't present for any of it) after they get him back

in my canon, Theron and Elara and Doc had a casual thing going on throughout rishi and yavin, but after yavin it ended bc of Theron's workaholic tendencies combined with the fact that he doesn't quite believe they really want him

during the carbonite years Theron and Lana get into a rather tense fwb situation heavily influenced by the fact that they have feelings for their missing friend and each other and won't talk about any of it.

when Elara comes out of carbonite, she starts to develop feelings for Lana, and they take it slow despite both wanting to rush into it, because despite having been yearning about it for years, and despite Elara being perfectly willing to dive in headfirst, Lana doesn't want to risk hurting her or being hurt herself by jumping into a relationship that could end up being little more than comfort in the familiar. during this time, Elara and Theron become pretty good friends, sharing late nights in the cantina when neither of them can sleep and talking about the people and places they miss, but he remains strictly platonic with both her and Lana.

when Theron turns out to be the alliance's traitor, Elara and Lana are both completely blindsided, and Elara hands off the alliance to Aethrii, realizing that she's dangerously close to a breakdown. she and Lana take a reverse honeymoon of sorts, getting married in an intimate ceremony inspired by sith and voss rituals at the end of their vacation, just after the end of the whole zildrog debacle. Elara is kind with Theron after his return, but angry, and it takes some experimentation to find herself a way to process it healthily. they spend a lot more late nights in the cantina, but this time there's a tension as they're trying to rebuild trust and process the losses and damage done and simultaneously realizing they're still romantically interested, but not ready to act on it again just yet.

when they get to ossus and find Doc, things start to pick up speed again, because he finally gets to see his wife again after ~6.5 years, and he's still as in love as ever, and he still has a crush on Theron. Lana shares some of her poetry with him to break the ice, and they become unexpectedly close friends. they don't necessarily come together completely smoothly, but they are all deeply enthusiastic about it, which makes things very much better than they could be.

#oc: elara friss #lana beniko #theron shan #swtor doc #constellation: the lovers #this has been sat in my drafts for months i felt like polishing it up and posting it #q

[autisticbones]

i started playing dragon age recently and it's been a very refreshing break cause i've been getting a little burnt out on swtor

and i have had a Thought

which is that Elara needs a dragon age au and Eira (my current warden) needs a swtor au

Elara is a human jedi, so i'm thinking probably human mage? and then Eira is a dalish rogue so i'm thinking mirialan (for the face tattoos) and probably smuggler, but i'm also just throwing ideas around for the moment.

#can you tell i have a thing for E names with fantasy vibes #i very badly want to make elara also dalish because i love elves #but dalish can't be mages and i feel like it's very important that she be a mage #ej rambles #dragon age #oc: elara friss

[autisticbones]

actually, inspired by a conversation i just had with an irl friend about OCs and creating the representation we want to have, i've just decided elara is nonbinary and everyone is chill about it

#oc: elara friss #i'll have to come back to this later to think about elara's pronouns but like. this is a character who is happily not cis #because i am a person who is happily not cis #and i want to see more of that

[autisticbones]

WIP whenever (and it's even Wednesday)

tagged by @should-i-say-it-like-a-spy (or rather, @firecatwashere was tagged but that's my main and this is where my fandom stuff lives)

this is a bit of fluff with my jedi knight Elara and her polycule, set at some unspecified time after Ossus.

Stifling a yawn, Elara stood in the doorway to her apartment within the base on Odessen and took stock of the day. Many logistical loose ends had been tied up, and she wanted nothing more than to rest and recharge with her loves. Fragrant spices wafted from the kitchen; Doc had promised comfort food and the smells were comforting indeed.

"I'm home," she said to no one in particular, strolling through the corridor toward her room. The Commander's quarters were a truly personalized marvel. The foyer opened into a large living space and kitchen, with a cozy dining nook for four in the far corner. Opposite the kitchen, a small corridor branched off into six rooms: an office with a private comm and Holonet link, a fresher, and four bedrooms. The largest bedroom was Elara's, with the en-suite fresher and the bed capable of accommodating her and all three of her partners simultaneously.

Approaching it now, she heard giggling from within. Unceremoniously, she stripped herself of the formal grey armor she wore on official Alliance business and reached into the walk-in closet for a pair of purple leggings and an old jacket of Doc's she liked to wear around the house - and found the source of the laughter. Theron and Lana sat below her clothes, lounging in what appeared to be a nest made from pillows and blankets. Elara smirked. "Having fun?"

"Very much," Lana answered, grabbing her hand and pulling her down to press a kiss to her lips. "The boys suggested it. Theron was particularly convincing." Elara's eyes flicked over to the vibrantly blushing spy snuggled between Lana and the wall, then back to a light bruise just under her left ear.

"Mmm, I see. And what brought this on?"

"You've been working so hard, gorgeous, so we wanted to give you a reason to take a break." Doc answered from behind, where Elara turned and saw that he'd brought dinner with him. Abruptly, Theron grabbed the arm Lana didn't have a hold on, and together they toppled Elara into the nest between them.

“We’ve also been doing some thinking,” Lana spoke next, wiggling to make room as Doc climbed in beside Theron, “about the four of us and our future together.” She kissed the forehead of the other woman softly as she settled, letting out a sigh. Elara tensed slightly; Lana’s usual certainty seemed to have made a sudden departure.

“Oh? What kind of thinking?”

“We want to get married. Properly, all of us, and invite guests.” Theron piped up next, reaching over to rest a hand on Elara’s shoulder. Her cheeks turned red at the contact, but she leaned into it. “But we need to know if you want to do that first.”

“So, Elara,” Lana’s confidence had returned in force.

“Gorgeous,” They’d planned this. She knew it. Joy scrambled any coherent thought she tried to have.

“Will you make us the luckiest constellation in the galaxy and marry us?” Theron finished the question, and she realized he had moved to hold one of her hands in his, with a ring ready to slip onto her finger. Lana and Doc watched her warmly and patiently from either side.

“Stars, yes, you chaotic fools,” The words burst forth once she’d finally untangled them from the sudden overwhelm, and time no longer seemed frozen as Theron slid the ring onto her finger. “Nothing would make me happier, but that was the most ominous buildup to a proposal I’ve ever heard, Lana,” Elara said. She was still almost dizzy with excitement. Somewhere in the background, Doc giggled.

“I was nervous!” Lana exclaimed in mock defensiveness. Elara grinned and planted a kiss on her nose.

no pressure tags for @templarhalo and @neurodiversebones and anyone else who wants to share!

#in the spirit of this being a WIP tag i am choosing to ignore the fact that there are parts of this i Know i need to edit #anyway here are my fluffy goobers #constellation: the lovers #oc: elara friss #lana beniko #theron shan #swtor doc #wip whenever #q #my writing

[autisticbones]

still gnawing on the negotiation and communication that goes into elara and lana and theron and doc forming a polycule, especially after the whole traitor arc and how that plays out

i'm torn between writing an analysis of the intersecting relationships and how they weave together from the class story through to the polycule wedding, or just saving it for the fic i plan to eventually write

#thoughts? #oc: elara friss #lana beniko #theron shan #swtor doc

[autisticbones]

i keep accidentally making my swtor characters polyamorous

like the main example is elara and doc and theron and lana

but then i've also decided vedru, aric, and elara dorne also form a triad, with jaxo occasionally joining in when she's around

danestri has vector and (eventually) watcher two (and has also slept with kaliyo a few more times than she'd like to admit)

#constellation: the lovers #maybe i should make up polycule tags for the others as well #constellation: havoc triad #constellation: clandestine #oc: elara friss #oc: vedru #oc: danestri #shhh i know the other polycule tags don't have the same vibe as the lovers #i used the most obvious tarot reference because i couldn't think of anything else thematically appropriate
