*takes deep breath* It took me a long time to gather enough courage to post this piece of fanfiction. (Super thanks to everyone who reached me inbox and encouraged me to share more on them, you give me strength! <3) I had that sketch ready for awhile… I’m so better with sketches than words. <br> Also English is not my first language, so please, please, be gentle. It’ll improve over time and tips are greatly appreciated (inbox, pls, so I can find it easily! xD)  This is set after the Umbara’s betrayal.  Aaaaaaaaa here goes nothing.

The moon was high on the Odessen’s sky, its light bathing the Commander’s quarters. The Commander was sitting sleepless on her bed, her mind light years away from their base planet. It had been a rough day and she had a lot to think about, but first things first. “There is no emotion, there’s peace.”, it was all she managed to mumble between her recollections, trying to make sense of Theron’s words as he betrayed everything they fought for. The Code often eased her mind and gave her the clarity she needed to keep control over her actions, and now she needed to keep it cool more than ever. It wasn’t just an ideology conflict between friends, not when he left her in such a fragile position as the leader of the Alliance.

Her thoughts were disrupted by the sound of the door opening, only one person could be visiting her at this hour. 

“How’s it?”, Lia’s voice echoed in the room, the figure by the door entered the room, closing the door behind her.

“Nothing on Satele’s location. The bright side is that everyone is backing you up. I never thought I’d see the day a merciful leader was going to have such a successful campaign. I got to admit that this is truly remarkable, people look up to you, I look up to you. More the reason that miserable son of a je- worm will pay dearly for putting you in danger.” Lana had to get used to the thought of Jedi not being an insult, Lia appreciated her trying. She also had been working non-stop after all intel she could gather on Theron.

“Lana, my love, I meant the wound from him shooting you.” Lia’s voice was peaceful as usual, but her frown didn’t leave her face.

“It was nothing.”

“At least let me take a look later.

”Lana sat next to her, curled up on her back, burrowed herself on her hair. It usually soothed her. 

“I still can’t believe I wasn’t able to see through him… What if something happened to you? I’d never be able to forgive myself.”

“Well, for all that it’s worth I’d forgive you.”

“I can’t stay mad when you look at me like this. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

The sith smiled under the Jedi’s blonde locks.

I kinda ended up gradually leaving social media altogether. It's just Too Much and overwhelming. I still draw swtor art sometimes, and I draw an swtor fancomic about like, a dread master being the outlander but mostly just hopping fandom to fandom and keeping to myself. The person also leaked my Reddit account recently even though it's been like years since the whole incident...

Oh man, I am really so sorry, anon. That sounds really rough. I’m glad that you’re still having fun with fandom in your own way though. 

*hugs*

The digital art is a panel of 16 year old Lycaea holding a sword out, saying “Peace is a lie...” end image]

Well, I mentioned being in the fancomic mood earlier today, and I had these four pages halfway done from months ago, so I figured why not finish them?

Sparring scene, which was *really* good practice for future fight scenes. For example, I now know I take way too long showing each individual movement, and if I want things to progress quicker I need to tighten it up

also in addition to sparring: the basic philosophy Lycaea was raised with

[image: four images associated with my fancomic, three of which are digital art and one of which is a title script. the title scrip reads in the yellow star wars font: “Trials. A SWTOR fancomic. Starring: Sith Warrior and Smuggler. By: Fade31415 @deviant art AKA Fancyfade on tumblr”

The first image is the above view of two symmetrical courtyards for a school on dromund kaas. the school building is all black, with red imperial flags hanging up near the roof. there are marble pilasters projecting holostatues all around the walkways, and two hexagonal tables in the middle of each courtyard.

The next image is Raihon Kor, a red skinned sith with an oval shaped face and black hair in a bun. She’s smiling slightly. After that, there’s Lycaea, a purple skinned togruta teenager with a round face and white face patterns. She’s rolling her eyes and smiling sarcastically. end image]

end image/begin commentary

It’s been 7 months, but I finally got up the next page of my fancomic! Click here to read it on deviant art and here for a transcript if you need one

The main purpose of this scene is to continue establishing the family dynamics, including bits that will be important later. Also, I got to draw Raihon so. It was fun scene to draw overall.

and the first page (link), if you wanna start from the beginning (if you do, tws that apply are badly drawn dismemberment and creepy/unhealthy family dynamics i think? not sure how i’m making that part come across)

[image: a simply drawn, lineless art of three star wars aliens. The first one is Patrus, a mostly Sith 11 year old with a round face and pinkish reddish skin. He is wearing a grey and black outfit and a black cape, and looking up at his father, who is resting a hand on his shoulder. Next is is his father, a half togruta, half sith with red skin, gold eyes, and short stubby montrals and lekku. He’s wearing bulky red armor with black trim and a cape, and he’s resting one hand on each of his kid’s shoulders. The last character is Lycaea, a 16 year old mostly togruta with purple and white skin and light yellow eyes. She is wearing the same outfit patrus is. end image]

A background tapestry I did for Lycaea’s room for the next Trials pages. her house involves so much background tapestries or holostatues -_-

EDIT: can’t belive I forgot this. But Kyros (the dad’s) armor is my own design, but Lycaea and Patrus’s outfits were influenced by Ablative War armor (link). Except you know... with pants and a cape. I never draw Lycaea in robes/dresses when she’s supposed to be able to spar for some reason. I just don’t think of a character who can fight in dresses.

[image: two screencaps from an in progress comic page. They show a sith character from SWTOR with black hair and reddish skin, wielding two training blades. She’s leaping through the air, and the first picture has her drawing one of her swords back and the second one has her having completed a partial rotation and swung it forwards. end image]

i should be drawing on my original comic but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  SWTOR mood

I’m doing a sparring scene and its really time consuming to draw but fun so have a WIP

still might not get the next Trials pages for another month tho, because I do this scene-by-scene instead of page-by-page in my posting

edit: she’s doing blade barrage if you’re curious

[fancyfade]

[image: two digital art drawings of the same two characters, but three years apart. The first character is Lycaea Archeliou, a purple skinned togruta with a round face and yellow eyes. the second character is an unnamed Sith with reddish skin, bright yellow eyes, and poofy black hair. in the first image, they’re both 13 years old and shorter, lycaea has smaller lekku and montrals, and the sith has her hair in a ponytail. in the second image they’re both 16, lycaea’s montrals and lekku are now long enough her lekku go down to her mid-pec. the sith is holding a vibro blade and has an undercut now. end image]

This wasn’t what i was drawing today, but figured i’d post it because why not

the lycaea pics are a couple months old, her head is too large when she’s a teenager.

lycaea + one of her semi-friends she had on Dromund Kaas (they weren’t very close which is why I rate her as semi)

first pics are when they’re 13, last ones are when they’re 16. 

also her friend nearly always makes that expression so i have no clue what her eyes look like when they’re not like that

also also her friend needs a name

okay SWTOR post day 1

(in response to this post (link)

Tank: Before the class story, Tank was in wherever they train spec force officers (I get the idea they have more training than regular republic soldiers because a) Forex says so and b) when you talk to Jakarro after understanding him in Shiriiwook, you say something like “amazing what they teach you in spec force training”.) But before that, she was working with some other people her age, Tam Zaris and Sharr Kii, who she met on Nar Shaddaa.

On Nar Shaddaa, Tank pissed off some Hutts by telling their enforcers to fuck off when they were trying to collect “protection” money from some guys who weren't paying up. Things wound up escalating until she got a bounty on her head, she wound up laying low in the sector of Nar Shaddaa Tam and Sharr Kii were in. Sharr Kii wanted to fight the empire because her wound up being pushed around during that Togruta rebellion thing (IIRC mentioned on Imp Side Nar Shaddaa plot?), and Tank went along for the ride when Sharr Kii suggested going off planet and helping rebels against the empire. The three of them (Tam Sharr Kii and Tank) eventually wound up over their heads and a section of Republic troopers both noticed them and rescued them when they invariably got kidnapped. They were each offered a place in Spec Forces, Tank took it but Tam and Sharr Kii didn't, preferring to stay helping rebels directly wherever they existed.

Tai: Since I've been playing him a bit recently, people who read my tumblr posts about SWTOR probably already know that Tai used to go to Korriban. He was the only child of Raihon Kor, and due to her hopes that he would continue their family and keep making them look strong, she ignored some of his flaws in battle and was happy when he got picked to go to Korriban. Sadly, he was way less powerful in the Force and lightsaber combat than all of his peers, and lived mostly by sneakery and getting other acolytes killed by other people or beasts (in the instances where the ultimatum is “one of you will succeed, the others will die” by the teacher).

After about two years of this, his Overseer got sick of seeing acolytes who were obviously more talented than Tai dying because of Tai's trickery (even though by sith logic, they'd be too gullible to stay alive) so he took Tai out to the Valley of the Dark Lords and slashed him across his back and cut off all his limbs, leaving him for dead. Tai finally tapped the force for something impressive and stopped himself from dying, hanging on until he was rescued by a team of smugglers (a zeltron, Dahxa Lyshow, and a twi'lek, Hay’laya).

Hay'laya and Dahxa wound up getting Tai medical care and taking him off Korriban. Tai learned how much of an asshole he was slowly over the course of 10 years and became a person you might not mind hanging around. The three of them also wound up rescuing Oriah Sam after she was wounded in an Akul hunt, and Oriah and Tai sort of became rivals, as Tai didn't like Oriah's edge and Oriah didn't like Tai's pretentiousness (because he was pretentious for a while).

After coming into possession of another ship, Dahxa and Hay'laya suggested that Tai and Oriah could use it for a second smugglign vessel, since they'd already taught the two everything they needed to know. Unwilling to work together without the glue of Dahxa and Hay'laya, the two of them settled the ship's ownership with a game of cards. Tai won and started smuggler story shortly after

Messilandre: Messilandre was training to be a Jedi on various planets, occasionally following around her mother, a politician from Miral, as mom wanted to instruct her on the way of her mirialan heritage and the political situation of the world. As she got older, Messilandre grew apart from her mom due to her own interpretation of the Jedi code, and she wound up working in a more formal capacity as a guard for her on dangerous missions. Mom disapproves of her daughter tagging along as a guard, because Messilandre's dad died on a combat mission, and mom is a bit worried. Messilandre takes this to mean her mom doesn't understand the realities of being a Jedi (it's dangerous). They have a strained relationship.

Either way, not too long after her last mission with her mom, Messilandre gets sent to Tython to finish her training and the plot starts.

Harin So: Harin So was a Voss Commando (IIRC military conscription is mandatory for the Voss?) who got tapped for mystic trials due to strategic acumen that wound up a little “Hmm, can zie see the future?”-y. Harin So never had a vision while training to be a mystic or in the mystic trials, and eventually sort of “dropped out”. Feeling useless and disconnected from zir society, zie wound up sneaking off world to try to learn more about the wider galaxy. There, zie met Yuon Parr, who trained zir in the way of Jedi on Tython until the start of the planet plot.

Lycaea: Lycaea's exact pre-planet plot will be told in my Trials fancomic if I ever finish it. The main difference between what's implied in game and her story is that she is not forced into Korriban early – not because she did all of the proper training channels, which she didn't (that wouldn't mesh with the Baras dynamic you have at first), but because she was ignored for a long time due to being mostly togruta. Her father sees what he views as his last opportunity to get her into Korriban by contacting Tremel, who also dislikes her for the aforementioned reasons (and her being part sith part togruta). Her dad convinces Tremel that she has at least been instructed in the ways of thinking like a Sith, and therefore will carry on Tremel's ideology. A desperate Tremel accepts, and Lycaea starts her planet plot (plus other details, revealed in comic if it gets finished)

Xareesh: Xahaiyarishin was a warrior on Kalee who was the second-in-command in her town (married to the first in command, the war leader). At one point, her town got attacked by a group of Czerka thugs because they had something Czerka wanted. Xareesh was left as the only surviving warriors after she had successfully evacuated a decent portion of the civilians. She felt aimless and lost, having lost too many friends in the battle, and wound up falling into a depression and working as a bounty hunter, alone, because staying with the rest of the survivors was a too painful reminder of what had happened.

When she is aimlessly bounty hunting, that's when she gets contacted by Braden, Jory, and Mako, and makes her way to Nal Hutta. After hearing their proposal for the Great Hunt, she figures that it will somehow snap her out of this and make her feel worthy again.

Aereinys: Aereinys's parents were exiled from Chiss space for (reasons I'll think of later). They died before she was born, and she grew up in an Imperial orphanage (probably state run and focused on getting the kids to be good little soldiers). She joined the army when she turned 18, as was expected of her, and impressed recruiters for Imperial Intelligence. Her path from Intelligence to the start of the prologue is straight forward, she was just assigned there due to her performance in the Academy, as the dialogue implies.

Nehari: Nehari grew up on Nar Shaddaa as a storekeeper's daughter. She started scavenging scrap metal to sell to help her mom make ends meet, and when her mom died when she was fifteen, Nehari took over the business and ran the store for a couple years, before getting fed up with kicking up protection money to hutts. She figured that she could be the victim or the victimizer, and quickly started fighting back and establishing her own miniature criminal empire. She became a pirate and raided cargo from everyone – and got captured by the Imperials, where she was put into slavery as a punishment. That is how she gets to the start of the Sith Inquisi plot, where she's recently been freed to become a Sith or die trying.

[image: a digital art drawing of 13-year-old Lycaea Archeliou (a pastel purple togruta) sparring 18-year-old Taimen Kor (a tall buff red skinned Sith). Lycaea is on the offensive, making a wild strike across Tai’s body that he blocks as he steps backwards. In the background these characters watch: Kyros Archeliou (a half-togruta, half-sith chubby guy wearing red plate armor), Patrus Archeliou (a skinny seven year old with purpleish reddish skin and big brown eyes) and Raihon Kor (a red skinned Sith with black hair in a bun, wearing a purple and black robe). end image]

Sparring Lessons by Fade31415

So when I was looking through my Swtor fanart folder on my comp, I saw this halfway finished picture I then decided to finish.

Lycaea and Tai wound up sparring each other a lot before Tai went to Korriban, since Lycaea was fairly talented for a 13-year-old and Tai was fairly untalented for an 18-year-old.

Raihon, Tai’s mom, is in the background trying to ignore how bad Tai is at fighting.

Also, Raihon, Kyros, and Patrus have only appeared in my very simply drawn fancomic up until this point. Transposing them to my normal style was hard, especially seeing as Kyros’s body type is normally “an oval w/ four tubes attached”.

I started talking 2 my twin about RS and now Im in the mood to do a runescape fancomic... its like jeez i've already got an original comic i have to get a backlog on and a swtor fancomic i’m halfway thru... i do NOT have time for this @ me.... but my brain thinking won’t go away

[image: screencap of Lycaea Archeliou, a round faced pastel purple sith warrior togruta from SWTOR. next image is her in a desert tomb, holding a warblade and pointing it towards the camera. end image]

I started a new Lycaea while playing SWTOR with my girlfriend!

i took a ton of screencaps, since lycaea is one of my most screencappable OCs

also i like that warblade screencap, gonna try to draw it when i have spoons

[image: dialogue from Lycaea reading “Mark my words, I am destined to be Sith.” end image]

anyway, lycaea has been thinking about being sith since she was  a little kid.

but what i’m really thinkinga bout here is that Messilandre, my Jedi Knight, would probably phrase her being a jedi as something similar (like “i’m destined to be a jedi”)

they were both raised since they were very young to be part of the order they’re part of, and kind of have their entire identities tied up in it and anyway that’s what i’m thinkign about now. they have a couple more parallels, maybe i’ll post them later :p

[image: dialogue from Jailer Knash reading “You should know this situation is highly unusual. Normally, an acolyte goes offworld for thei nterrogation, Overseer Tremel had these three shipped in for you. He thinks you’re hte next coming of Exar Kun. But you ought ot know, Tremel ain’t the only one paying attention to you.” end image]

two things

a) lycaea is glad people got flown in for her, because she’s like “oh well now i’m missing a boring hyperspace journey how sad”

b) Lycaea doesn’t care if she’s the next coming of Exar Kun, but she does think she’s Hot Shit

[image: dialogue from Overseer Tremel reading “Now, the last prisoner -- the forger. Letting him go was highly questionable. Explain yourself.” there’s a dialogue wheel under this with three options. “He didn’t do it” “other options were pointless.” and ‘i’m done justifying”. “other options were pointless” is the one that’s highlighted. end image]

This is how Lycaea winds up being mostly lightside despite being raised in a place which deeply discourages that.

a) its a little harder to be evil when people are right in front of you and you can see the consequences of your actions

b) she doesn’t see any point in being pointlessly a dick

and c) if other sith question her, she starts normally being like “well i can do what I want (not be a terrible person) because I’m powerful and powerful people can do whatever they want”. since she was raised with the idea that power justifies itself (aka having power means u can do what you want), she appeals to that before actually appealing to morality or whatever.

[image: Lycaea holds a hand up and says “I’m not worried about impressing Baras.” end image]

IDK mostly posting this because I like how Lycaea looks :P she’s pretty confident tho. She just had her personal arc (which you’ll see if/when I finish her fancomic) and is feeling pretty successful

[image: dialogue from Darth Baras reading “He has been hardened into a lethal machine” end image]

i think this pretty well sums up what the sith academy seems like they’re trying to do

[image: dialogue from Darth Baras reading “Recite the Sith Code for me, acoylte, and explain its meaning in battle, war, and politics.” underneath this is a dialogue wheel showing three options. “I can’t” “[bluff] I know the code” and “I don’t need it.” then lycaea says “sure, give me a minute. See, there’s the dark side--” end image]

I think its kind of stupid your character doesn’t know the code, considering your backstory here is that you were one of the empire’s most promising warriors or whatever, and some dialogue options can indicate you come from an fancy sith family or something (IIRC?)

I mean I can buy not being able to give Baras the interpretation he wants, which is probably “college level” or whatever, but I assume you’d be able to come up with something better than “there’s the dark side --”

[image: dialogue from Darth Baras reading “Pathetic. I can read the lie from a nascent Force user with my eyes closed.” end image]

Either Darth Baras is lying here or he totally knows when you don’t kill Tremel

[image: Dialogue from Lycaea reading “then Be a man and try to get the shards again.” end image]

I can’t rememeber whether i’ve complained about this before (I think I have, but can’t find the post i did it) but I find sith warrior’s “Be a man” here very weird. like Lycaea doesn’t associate men with toughness, she associates sith or warriors with toughness.
