ANOTHER AU Idea, As If I Don’t Have Enough Already

So, in addition to the snippet I posted earlier today for the WIP meme, my brain threw this idea at me at 1am last night when I was trying to sleep lmao

As I said I only lit on this idea last night so it’s a very baby AU idea, and only has a very vague plot (it’s also been a while since I’ve looked at anything to do with His Dark Materials so it’s only gonna be like...very loosely a crossover and definitely not follow the “classic” rules so to speak, because I don’t think that’d work with the plot idea my brain has given me.)

I present to you: Daemon AU, but what if, still in the SWTOR-universe and therefore daemons can be SWTOR-based creatures, too ;)

So, sort of kind of the same plot basis, at least in so far as: most inhabitants of the galaxy have daemons/familiars. If your daemon dies, you die, but unlike in HDM, daemons can walk or travel separately from their people it’s just....very ill-advised, if you’re a long long way away from your daemon and someone follows and kills it, for instance...buh bye your life :’) however, in this manner, a daemon might also survive their person’s body being killed and by virtue of being attached to that person, could flee and find them a “new body” so to speak, as a part of that person would still exist attached to their daemon even if they have no body to inhabit (Valkorion, of course, has mastered this, same as the body-hopping in canon ;3).

Ergo, what if the JK kills Vitiate but his daemon gets away and runs to Zakuul etc. and our merry band of heroes have to band together to chase it down through the galaxy and kill it before it finds Valkorion/Vitiate a new body, picking up some familiar faces along the way :’)

I have a couple other daemons picked out, too, for most of the mains, I need to think of some for the others, and still need to pick one for Vitiate/Valkorion if I end up taking this idea any further, we’ll see. :3

and a teeny tiny snippet which is as much as I’ve been able to work on atm. I have no idea where in the story this will fall or what it’ll connect to, I really need to plan this more, but I wanted some content to put out this evening cause I haven’t been posting much (”original” content) this weekend due to being busy, so *throws the bone* here ya go XD

The pup was gangly, it struggled to keep up with the Darth’s larger tuk’ata daemon, tottering on legs far too disproportionate to its own body; it tripped on its own paws and yelped as it fell, causing the young Sith to whom it was tethered to grimace, touching her fingertips to her chin out of reflex. “Oof.” “Still so clumsy. At least she’s finally settled, though.” Noctis chuckled in amusement as Chwûq, his own daemon, rumbled in mild amusement and swung about to grab Aria’s by the scruff, setting her back on her own paws again. The younger tuk’ata chittered up at her in delight, wagging her tail, until Chwûq snorted at her once again and sent her skittering back to her mistress’ side. “Be careful.” the Darth continued, looking down at both of them severely. “Do not let her wander far. A stray daemon without its person is an easy target...and the quickest way for other Sith to kill you.”

#swtor #swtor daemon au #swtor oc: aria saal #swtor oc: roan saal #it's gonna be tricky trying to work with only *one* of the saal's tuk'ata #because canonically he has two and they go to aria when he dies #bc aria reminds them of roan and vice versa #like i said this is in the VERY baby stages rn and i really shouldn't be letting new candy distract me from the *canon* fic(s) lmao #i am a bad writer /jk #or am i? i mean...we all do this right LOL #[working on current wip] [new idea lightbulb] OH LOOK. SOMETHING SHINY #i thought about making taral aria's daemon but idk it'd be kinda weird since he & chwûq are canonically the same age & also a mated pair #so i might end up pulling one of their pups' names from the zephyrverse au rp and using that as ari's daemon's name #if i continue on with this idea at some point :P #yes aria's daemon decided to copy dad's #because if dad gets a big scary daemon aria wants one too #maybe then people will stop calling her ''shorty'' and take her seriously /lh

💿💿💿 for Roanan, Ni'kasi and D'leah 👀

[ Send 💿 + a muse name and I'll list the songs I associate with that character!] --feel free to send more, you can even send for the same characters if you want. I am not joking when I say I have plenty of songs to choose from for all of them LMAO

Thank you for the asks, Pinky! ❤️ picking out the good ones, as usual 👀 So, in order! Warning up here for explicit language so don’t click past the cut if you don’t like that (tho I swear a lot so honestly y’all should be used to F bombs in songs and otherwise by now XD) Also, polite reminder that my ficverse is canon divergent so it doesn’t 100% follow in-game canon regarding the Empire’s backstory etc. No clowning, I will not be responding to “ThAT’s NoT CaNoN” posts 😘

Roan

My Way (Frank Sinatra Cover) - Chase Holfelder

Yes there were times, I’m sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all when there was doubt, I ate it up, and spit it out! I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it my way!

Yes, this version specifically, because the way the switch to minor key makes it both more heartfelt and yet sinister at the same time is just Roan’s entire aesthetic, as well as the lyrics all fitting his character arc very well~ 😃 Lawful Evil dad who saw how destructive the Emperor’s nonsense was becoming and did the best he could to help Vano, Ni’kasi and Vowrawn correct the mistakes right till the end, even if it cost him everything.

Ni’kasi

Judith [Explicit] - A Perfect Circle

Oh, so many ways for me to show you how your saviour has abandoned you... FUCK YOUR “GOD”! Your Lord, and your Christ, HE DID THIS! Took all you had and left you this way! Still you pray, never stray, never taste of the fruit, You never thought to question “why”.

With the “God” in question here referencing Tenebrae/Vitiate/Valkorion, The Emperor, of course 👀 Now we all know by now, Ni’kasi knows he’s full of shit, she knows exactly who he is, what he did, and that he’s neither a good ruler for the Empire nor the rightful one. Yes, it’s been over 100 years since Vitiate’s hostile takeover but like her mama, Kas holds grudges and she’s not about to take his nonsense lying down. She tamps it down for a long while but safe to say eventually She. Goes. OFF. 👏🤣 and the minute the opportunity comes along to branch out alongside Vano and Lana and break away from the crappy laws and slavery in the Empire and create somewhere better that people can flee to, she’s outta there.

D’leah

Daniel In The Den - Bastille

And you thought the lions were bad Well, they tried to kill my brothers And for every king that died, Oh they would crown another... And it’s harder than you think, telling dreams from one another. Felled in the night, by the ones you think you loved. They will come for you!

Or more accurately, did in fact, kill one brother. And your parents. And your huband. And yea... I don’t think it’s possible for me to talk about D’leah and not get a little bit angsty, I’m sorry. 😔 Anyway, Tenebrae/Vitiate/whatever you wanna call him definitely took the Ahaszaai by surprise, both she and Kissai had “funny feelings” about him but they really didn’t clock how big a threat he was until it was too late, and before she knew it, it’s just her, the twins, Abaron and maybe Vowrawn (tho until they go back to Kaas once the twins are grown she has no idea if Vowrawn’s alive or dead and can’t put the babies at risk going back to check 😭)

Someone take these silly memes away from me.

The blank/original is by @thefrogwild HERE, if anybody wants it, this one was fun to do ngl :P Are we even surprised by the two ladies who end up in the 3-way intersection? if you’re a regular on this blog you shouldn’t be /lh 😂😂😂

Anyway have another one while I chase the plot chickens around and try to make them let me finish this oneshot

The new face in the arrogance, hubris and/or hypocrisy/causes problems on purpose intersection underneath Kissai is Shakkai, the twins’ younger sister, who I believe I made an intro post for a little while back and have talked a bit about before but didn’t really show a picture of her, so...there ya go that’s what she looks like! :D You’ll get a closer look at her later on in the week when I finish answering a meme tag from a while ago, don’t worry! ;)

Everyone else should be easy to identify for most. The Cathar is Qanarr, Aria’s Jedi Master who has appeared in the most recent chapters of Creeping Shadows (which I promise is not dead, Aria is just on strike rn/the Ahaszaai family keeps hogging my attention XD), for anyone who needs a refresher, I know I don’t talk about her much, she suffers from serious Pretty Boring Basic Side Character disease. Sorry Qanarr 😔✊ 😔✊

19, 24, 29, & 34 for the 175 OC Asks (for any oc's you'd like to answer for)? c:

thank you for the asks @mimabeann :D

from the 175 OC questions asks here

We’ll go with Roan/Noctis, for these two shall we. I don’t think I’ve ever talked about him in one of these memes yet so might as well give him the weird ones XD

19. Does your character like carrots?

This is a very strange question in and of itself, for the OP that wrote this question set....why this one? 🤔

He thinks they’re alright. Not his favourite thing to eat in the world, but he doesn’t hate them either, so, yeah I guess he likes them!

24. What is your character’s opinions on squirrels?

Odd little things, mostly a nuisance, but the Tuk’ata like eating them so he supposes they’re useful in the end XD

29. Are any of your characters nameless? (In that there is no legal record of them existing, they just don’t have names in canon, or history remembers them but not their name?)

Oohhh, I would say probably most of the early-dynasty Ahaszaai Purebloods could be considered nameless, no-one before D’leah, Duuma and Vowrawn’s parents were named by me (but obviously existed, all those Purebloods had to come from somewhere! lol). Though even the twins don’t know their grandparents names, much less anyone else in the Empire. Hell, it wasn’t until Saarai’s oopsie with Ty’s dad that any of Vitiate’s Sith even realised D’leah and the girls were still alive at all - he was so convinced he’d wiped them all out of history and nobody would remember them ;)

34. Do any of your characters collect sea-shells or wear shell jewelry?

Yes, and yes! Ty loves collecting seashells, though he doesn’t get to do it as often on Odessen because there’s much less “beach” there, when he was growing up on Rishii, Rai used to walk him along the beach and let him pick up as many as he could find and as he got older and got interested in making things with his hands, he started to make little accessories etc. out of them which he could later sell to help his mom make a bit more money. He made himself a bracelet out of one of his favourites that he didn’t want to part with, and even made something for his mom, too! Saarai still has the seashell hairclip he made for her when he was a teenager and she wears it sometimes (not to battle, obviously, she doesn’t want to lose it or break it, but around Odessen or sometimes to other formal functions if it fits with her outfit) :3

Subterfugeverse Name Pronunciations

Jumping on the name pronunciation bandwagon cause I’ve seen a couple of my mutuals doing this *fingerguns* and I realised that even though I included it on the fancy bio page (yes, I’m still working on it I haven’t forgotten, I just need more screenshots/pictures and time to write out all the detailed lore schtuff) I forgot to put it on the mobile Masterpost. So I’ll be popping this link onto there now too for everyone’s perusal :’D LONG POST AHEAD

So, the only ones I ever really used specific “grammar” rules for were the tomato family (+ Aria because her name is actually rooted in High Sith), all the others are just pronounced as we would normally use the syllables in English.

I haven’t got any OCs rn who would have used Common Sith, they’re all Highborn Nobility Brats 🤣 so High Sith it is pshshsuysgd

I used the canonical information we’re given on the pronunciation of the vowels, I ignored absolutely everything else about it bc if you scroll down and read the bit at the bottom of “Behind the Scenes” it’s clear that the phonetics are a hot dumpster fire so it’s basically free real estate* *a.k.a. I used my (admittedly limited) MFL knowledge of pronunciation in Afrikaans and German to make “educated guesses” on what seemed to flow best with the vowel sounds so pls don’t come for me and be gentle, I’m trying to make them sound ✨pretty✨ while still being as lore-accurate as is possible mmmhmm

Ok good, without further ado then~

The Ahaszaai - High Sith

“Ahaszaai” itself is pronounced “ahh-zzy-aye” (with a very quick “flow” and little pause between the first and second syllables, but more stress on the final syllable, as in “buy”). Phonics-wise, I could have spelt it “Aszai” and kept the pronounciation the same per the messy “rules” given by canon, but I think “Ahaszaai” reads a lot nicer, don’t you? :D

Saarai

“szah-rye”

“S” is more of a “Z” sound in both Afrikaans and German so it made most sense to me, to say the same would be true in High Sith given the “hardness” of the vowels. It flows together better. As with her family name, the end of Rai’s name is stressed on the last syllable (as in “buy”) as well. Named both for the High Sith word, meaning “Truth”, and chosen by her father due to the similarity with her late grandmother, Saa’thri (”szah-th-ree”), as a way to honour her memory.

Ni’kasi

“nee-kah-zhee” ETA: after some time and a lot of research, I’ve discovered that Kas’s name DOES in fact have a meaning in High Sith, it means “Divine Warpath” (yeah, D’leah went hard with her kids’ names sjkgdjkgd). Again, as is true with a lot of Sith words, all long vowel sounds here. Ni’kasi’s name tends to sound a lot more “elegant” than her twin’s, as the “s” in her name is softened by the surrounding vowel sounds, whereas Saarai’s is a lot harder as it preceeds the vowels ;)

Kissai

“kee-sz-igh” Named after the Priest caste of old (by the same name), for his more serene personality. This is somewhat ironic, as topping out at near 7 feet tall it’s almost certain that he had Massassi (Warrior caste) blood in his line and was unlikely to have been related to any Kissai-caste Sith at all.

D’leahane | D’leah*

*whose name breaks nearly every “rule” but she’s the token red herring don’t mind her lmaooo

“Duh-leh-nuh”, the second “a” in her name being a silent letter that isn’t enunciated with the others | “Duh-leh”

Abaron

“ah-bah-ron”

Not much to add about this one! Basically what it says on the tin!

Tyûk

“tee-uck”

From the High Sith word meaning “Strength”, Saarai wanted to give him a “strong” name in the hopes that it might bring him better fortunes in his life. For so long, part of me wanted to break the “rules” here and pronounce it as “tee-yook” because it would have sounded equally plausible, but if I’m gonna treat the other circumflexed letters as short vowels like they’re supposed to be then the same thing has to apply to Ty’s name. 🤣

Shakkai | Sha

“zzh-haah-kye” | Zs-hah

Same as her sisters, “s” makes a “z” sound, for her “full” name the vowel sound is quite drawn out, but for the shortened/nickname version both the beginning syllable and the vowel sound are shorter and less stressed.

Her name doesn’t have a particular meaning, I just liked the way it sounded. There’s a word on the known vocab list (without a translation), “Shokkai”, I typo’d an “a” instead of an “o” - I already have a “Sho”, so I’d decided her nickname would be “Sha” instead so I wouldn’t get confused - when I did her first Character Sheet but actually liked how it sounded so I kept it hahaha

*fun fact, I nearly named her Shâsot which means “passion” but it just didn’t sound “right” as a name, so I went with Shakkai instead.

Paalea Izreni | Paa

“Paah-lee-uh ees-ren-ee” | “Paa” is literally just like the first syllable of her full name

Just like “s” makes a “z” sound, “z” makes an “s” sound. She gets to go here because she’s Kissai’s half-sister and therefore through marriage is part of the Ahaszaai family, even if she still uses their family’s “maiden” name and not the Ahaszaai name herself.

Again, it doesn’t mean anything in particular, it just sounded pretty *shrugs*

Non-Ahaszaai High Sith Names

Other characters who were named with the High Sith language, though they don’t belong to the Ahaszaai bloodline.

Aria

“Ah-ree-ah”, all long vowel sounds for her, no short “uh” ‘s here, vowel sounds in Sith are loooonggg (unless you’re D’leah because she said “fuck you Elven this is my name we’re keeping it” XD) , which means absolutely no “arrie-uh” either, please, you’ll upset her.

“But Elven “arrie-uh” is a real name and that’s how we would pronounce it!” Well, yes, except that Aria’s father actually named her for the High Sith word “Ari” (ah-ree), which means “Lord”, and not our version of the name and therefore, she uses the “Sith pronunciation” :’D

Chwûq

“Chuh-wuck” One of Aria’s Tuk’ata, named by her father Roan when he earned their trust, Chwûq’s name means “Embers” and was chosen for the glowing appearance of her eyes. All short, quite heavily stressed syllables for her name.

Taral

“tah-raah-ll” Aria’s second Tuk’ata and Chwûq’s mate. From the High Sith word meaning “He who protects”, for his loyalty to his mate, Roan and Aria.

Kahri

“Kh-haah-ree” Ni’kasi’s pet miniature sleen, named for the High Sith word meaning “Fang” (yes, she gave her lizard the lame typical “dog” name, but it sounds so much cooler in High Sith! 😂). The first syllable is heavily stressed, as if with a catch in your throat.

Naalush Zuzuul | Alu

“naah-loosh soo-zool”, as with Aria, the first syllable of his nickname is drawn out, like “ahh-loo”, not a single-syllable, “alloo” as it would be in English.

Tsâhis Zuzuul

“saah-hees soo-zool”

Pretty standard pronunciations, neither of their names mean anything, I just put together some Sith phonics and they came out pretty neato! ^^ Using the same logic from the “s” sound, I’m assuming “z” and “ts” can both function as a phonetic “ss”, the second “z” in their last name is a little more stressed and closer to an English “z” - it just sounds less weird that way ok guys? Good. ^^

Others - Elven Is Too Lazy to Separate The Rest By Species

Vano Shenly | Va

“Vah-noh shen-lee” | “Vaah” (in her full name the syllable is quite short, but for the shortened version that Aria, Merak and Vette use as her nickname, the “a” sound is a little more drawn out ;)

Merak Shenly

“murr-ack shen-lee”, pretty much how it’s spelt again. His and Vano’s are by far the easiest ones to not get “wrong” pfpfpf

Zi’verikreen | Ziri/Zee

“Zee-veh-ree”, “kreen” is pronounced pretty much as spelt. “Ziv’eri” is a Twi’leki word meaning “scorching”, for her fiery personality. I couldn’t find any solid fanon on Twi’leki phonetics/pronunciation (*cough* and I fell down the spiky tomato rabbithole and started to obsess over them instead*coughcough*) so I kind of used my best judgement here, other than Saarai, hers is one of my favourite names to say. It’s just so ✨pretty✨. Zee is pronounced as spelt, but Ziri is more drawn out, too, like “zee-ree”, though Ziri is far less “fussy” about pronunciation and will answer to “zir-ee” too, she doesn’t really care too much as long as you’re not cussing her out.

Roanan Saal | Roan

“roh-nahn” “s-aah-l” (short first and last syllable, long middle syllable) | “roh-ahn” (like “rowan”, but with a longer last syllable!)

Myala Thulie | Myla

“mee-ahr-luh thoo-lee” | “mee-luh”

mee, not my or mai for this lady! I have no elaborate explanation for this one, I just thought it sounded prettier this way

Qanarr Thimu | Qan

“Kwan-arr thim-oo” | “Kwan”

first “a” sound is somewhat stressed, as in “band” and “stand”, rest I think is self-explanatory. Again, no canon material on Catharese pronunciation so I did my own thing :3

That should cover all the mains I’m pretty sure?? If I’ve missed anyone give me a shout. How many did you have “correct” from what you thought, let me know in the tags or replies, I’m curious! :’DD
