They actually don't sell physical security keys anymore, they are only available on your phone. For free. So it's not going to cost you a dime.

Ditto.

Let's see.......I'll try to provide at least one of each type of companion(Ranged tank, ranged dps, etc). And I'm going to ignore the ship droids, HK-51 and Treek. Trooper: Jedi Knight: Jedi Consular: Smuggler(got a few of these): Bounty Hunter: Imperial Agent: Sith Warrior: Sith Inquisitor: BTW, has it ever occurred to any of you that we have NO male Jedi companions(depending on how you count Guss)? I never noticed before, but now that I have, that sort of bothers me.

And yet, she refuses to get married without the approval of the Jedi. That speaks of a loyalty to the Jedi that surpasses that which she has to the Inquisitor.

Wasn't advocating for the idea. Just saying that Bioware gave us the chance before, I can't see them not giving us another.

Obviously. What did you think this thread was for if not that?

Been going over the info we have on KotFE, and this paragraph stuck out to me: "You're able to recruit help and additional companions from an expanded cast, including companions who were previously exclusive to other classes. Building that alliance involves going to all the planets in the galaxy and doing activities and missions that build faction. If you want to recruit a character who's favorable to the Mandalorians, you'll be able to do missions for them. You want to recruit a character who hates the Hutts, you'll do missions to build your alliance standing against them." This has got me thinking: If our player character has been gone for 5 years, what have our companions been doing in that time? We know that both the Republic and the Vitiate's Empire have fallen, the the Supreme Chancellor is under the influence of the Eternal Empire, that Setele and Darth Marr are not(and the Jedi and Sith have both retreated to their temples). This is a new galaxy to us, and our companions have been forced to survive in it. How have they done so? Who have they fallen in with and what have they been doing? I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on the matter. Here are my own, as best I can guess. Sith Warrior Bounty Hunter Jedi Knight Trooper Inquisitor Imperial Agent Jedi Consular Smuggler 2V-R8/C2-N2: Our friendly neighborhood ship droid is either taking care of our character's collective ships, a key helper in the storyline("I know for a fact at least one old droid companion was there to help you out of a tight spot", from the Massivelyop article hints towards this) or scrap metal. I'm fine with any of these options. HK-51: Without an owner, I think that HK would default to serving the Empire. Or at least fighting the Republic. It's what the Maker programmed it to do. On the other hand, maybe HK will set itself to guard it's master's legacy. For instance, if owned by the Sith Inquisitor, it will protect its master's power base until he/she returns. Given the fact that we'll be running into an HK-55 droid(who supposedly is programmed to protect innocent people rather than eliminate them), I'm thinking we might be given a choice between the two. Or both? Please be both! Treek: Still a mercenary fighting for whoever she chooses to fight for. Anyone else got any thoughts on what their companions are up to by the start of KotFE?

No matter what happens, LS or DS, you never see Jaxo's body. Just saying.

Ah. Thx.

I'm leveling up my Bounty Hunter right now, and I'm trying to pick up the HK parts as I go. When I was one Hoth, however I found the HK part around the wreckage, but the game did not allow me to pick up the part saying "You do not need this right now". Do I need to have a character in my legacy actually ON the HK parts quest in order to pick these up? Or do I only need to pick the parts once?

Well, it's been a long time since I submitted anything to this thread, but an idea hit me as I was playing my JC this weekend, so I looked for a prompt that suited it and wrote it out as best I could. Tbh, I think it ended kind of abruptly. So if folks are curious enough for a resolution, I may write a follow-up. Not sure, though. Now, for your reading pleasure: Prompt: ...Like No One's Watching Title: Footloose Characters: JC, Nadia Grell Word Count: 2756 Spoilers: Not really

Ah. Gotcha. Done. Thx for the tip.

Well, this is my first contribution to this thread, so correct me if I'm doing something wrong. This one was done a late-night writing binge, so I hope you can ignore any writing errors. It's a Zombie of the Stomping Grounds prompt. Figured someone should respond to that one, and I didn't see anything for it. And my FemBH seemed to fit the bill. Things you need to know about her: Her name's Zasch, she's Mirialian, she's married to Torian, but is NOT a Mandolorian(thinks they are a little silly), and she's mostly lightside. Mostly.

My God.....WHY would anyone want/need to create 50 chars?

She basically says that Atton remains a fool, but the Force always has a use for those. Very non-specific. Always been curious what happens to him as well. along with the rest of the Exile's crew.

My favorite of my toons is Eighan, my Zabrak smuggler. When he was still a little child(about 4 yrs old), the ship he and his family were travelling on was attacked by pirates. The pirates were quickly dispatched by Imperial forces. However, the captain of the Imperial rescue vessel, corrupt Sithspawn that he was, decided to mark the rescued passangers and crew as 'Cargo', enslaving and confiscating them as Imperial property. Eighan's father managed to overpower a shuttle pilot and escape with Eighan, but Eighan's mother and older sister were left behind in Imperial hands. Eighan's father never forgave himself for being unable to save his wife and older child, and died a broken man when Eighan was 17. This left Eighan with a great hatred of the Empire(and distaste for the Republic for allowing the Empire to continue), along with a constant need to be on be move. He sought refuge in the stars, joining a number of freight crews and smuggling captains, learning anything anyone would teach him. He soon found he had a knack for piloting and gunplay, particularily duel-wielding(he's ambidextrous). Eighan's last captain before he came ot Ord Mantell, an old Duros, left him his ship and his last contract with Rogun the butcher, giving Eighan the start he needed to begin his rise to power as a Privateer of the Republic. For those of you who want a chart: Name: Eighan Dothe Age: 29 Gender: Male Planet of Origin: Iridonia(Born there, but raised on the Zabrak colony of Feldrona) Occupation before Smuggler: Pilot and mechanic for a variety of ship captains Ship Name: Starstream. It was the previous name, and Eighan didn't mind it. Romance: Akaavi Spar, former Mandalorian. Relationships: Treats his crew like family. Corso is like a brother, Risha a sister. Bowdarr is his most trusted friend and bodyguard. Guss is his lieutenant-in-training. And Akaavi is the best wife he could possibly ask for(though hardly the doting type). Physical Attributes Hair color- Sandy-blond Hair length- Long, for a Zabrak. He has it wrapped around his horns, and is particularily proud of it. Eye color- Green Body type- Average build, but strong leg muscles due to many tiems he has led his enemies on a merry chase. Height- 6'1 Weight- 192 Blemishes- None. He's proud of his pretty mug. Tone of voice- Violent and angry, particularily when it's tim to kill Imperials. Dislikes 1. Empire. 2. Slavery. 3. Republic being timid with the Empire 4. Bullying 5. A fair fight. Likes 1. Akaavi(He didn't know beauty or perfection until he met her), and their 9 (future)children. 2. Unfavorable odds(Well, beating them, specifically) 3. Flying(No feeling like it) 4. Playing cards 5. Drinking soft liquor Fun Facts: 1. His older sister, who he lost to Imperial slavers, is Darth Imperious, his universe's Sith Inquisitor. He has not found this out as of the end of the current class quests, though they have fought multiple times, along with the other 6 player classes. 2. An early partner of his on Ord Mantell, Coltun Orrick, is the current Major of Havoc Squad. Their Anti-Imperial values are shared, and they count on one another to bail eachother out of hotspots. 3. He's not attracted to non-Zabrak women. It isn't that he doesn't realize that they CAN be attractive, or that he dislikes how they look in general. Just that if they don't have horns on their head, he won't dance the horizontal tango. 4. He names his two blasters after contant insistence by Corso. His offhand blaster is Ath, named for a figure from Zabrak mythology who ushered Zabrak into the afterlife. His mainhand blaster is Sash, Zabrak for 'dancer'(meaning literally 'dust dancer', refering to ancient Zabrak courting rituals). 5. He wears a locket with a picture of his old family before beaing torn from them. It shows his father smiling(something he never saw), his mother looking tired but happy and holding baby Eighan in her arms, and his sister(about 6 yrs old in the photo) laughing and carrying a play lightsaber. It's the only thing that he still retains from that time, he never takes it off, and only Akaavi has ever asked about it. But he simply isn't ready to face the memories yet.

Love the new blog! Excellent quotes about Kaliyo. I nominate T7!

My Smuggler, the Zabrak gunslinger Eighan: As a hard-liner Repubublic privateer, he sets up a criminal organization with the primary purpose of making the Empire's life difficult. They steal imperial credits, artifacts and cause general mayhem on planets they control. And he goes right into the thick of it, a smile on his face. Akaavi Spar: Over the next two decades, she and Eighan have nine children: Corso, Spar, Berra, Canderous, Bowie, Risha, Varic, Novic and Guss. Of course, they all have names in Mando, not that Eighan could understand a one of them. Akaavi continues to be by his side, no matter her 'condition', and insists on raising their children in the Mandalorian way. 'Tough love' doesn't even begin to describe it. Bowdaar: Keeping with his promise to watch over Eighan and his future children, our friendly shipboard wookiee has his hands full. He's no Mandalorian, but what better sparring partner/bodyguard/nanny could a bunch of Mandalorian rugrats ask for? Risha: After a few more years of indulging her wanderlust, she goes to Dubrillion and(with Eighan's help), claims the throne that has been a long time coming to her. Afterwards, she marries Mr. Nice Guy, of course. And like Eighan and Akaavi, the two of them are productive, producing three heirs who grow up to be close cousins to Eighan and Akaavi's horde. Two of them even marry, much to the shock of all the parents involved. Corso: Eigan's best man and closest partner, the two of them spend their days getting into trouble, only to get out of it again just as quickly. The most awsome uncle Eigan's kids could ask for, Corso shows them a thing or two about handling a weapon that even Akaavi doesn't know. But after a few years, Corso begins to feel the need to settle down a bit(but not too much!). At Eigan's suggestion he gets in touch with Beryl Thorne, their contect on Taris back when they were just getting started. He becomes her new bodyguard and eventual husband, and the two of them raise a horde to rival that of Eighan and Akaavi's. Guss: Every criminal empire needs a mascot, right? Guss refuses to leave Eighan's side through all of his adventures. And with each new one, he learns another leason about what to do(or what not to do ) when he takes over the day-to-day operations of Eighan's vast criminal holdings. Eighan continues to tell him, even as the decades roll on, that he's just a few more years away from being ready to take over.

That....actually sounds pretty cool. I've usually been in favor of the 'not including children in game' side. But this could actually be done, and wouldn't be too difficult. As long as they had a time lapse in-between, it could be done. Kids are usually something saved for the fanfics, but this sounds like it could be implemented in-game. Put this in the suggestion box, I say.

I seem to recall that KOTOR II had palns for a droid-only planet. I think it would be cool to go to a planet like that. Other than that, I'd like to see a Imperial city-planet like Coruscant. Dromund Kaas is just too jungle. I want in Imp metropolis!

I would put Akaavi in her late-twenties, early-thirties. But then again, Mandolorians tend to age much quicker than normal people(mentally/emotionally I mean). She talks about being given her first weapon at 3 years old. Still, I can't imagine her being younger than 27. And I can see her as old as 37. And please, BW, never tell me what her age really is. Let my smugglers who like older women keep their kink.

Just completed the last conversation with a romanced Akaavi, where she talks about how Mandos all seek to one day have children to add to their clan. My smuggler asked her if she was "looking for someone to make rug-rats with". Akaavi replied that she "knew there could never be a child of our bodies", but that we might find children to adopt one day. Just one problem: my smuggler is a zabrak. So, barring either him or akaavi have serious fertility issues, a "child of their bodies" should not be a difficult thing to manage. I mean, I chose to play as a zabrak specificlally to see what Akaavi said different during this scene. For science. And I'm just wondering if this is a conversation bug or if that's all Akaavi ever says. Cause if it is.....it doesn't make much sense.

Best thing about Akaavi? Every time my smuggler says "It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am....", +40 affection. Love it. And kidding aside, my main smuggler loves Akaavi. She's got the tough exterior but on the inside....well, she's still a ******, but she does have the capacity to love someone. And so does Risha, but I think Akaavi takes it a bit more seriously, when all's said and done(this is NOT to say that Risha doesn't love as deeply, just in different ways). And for the more flirty smugglers, Risha is probably your gal. But for the select few who don't start cracking jokes at EVERY opprotunity, Akaavi provides a welcome relief. And my main smuggler, he just doesn't like being flirty. For the most part, he stays away from flirt lines. And he HATES it when girls start acting like ****es in heat around him(I mean, that girl on the Hutt's barge on Nar Shaddaa *shudder*). And to be honest, he felt like he was nothing more than an object to that Alderaanian noblewoman, which he found just plain insulting. So when Akaavi just point-blank asks him if he's interested in her as a woman, he's "YES! FORCE, I LOVE THIS WOMAN!"

As if I needed more reasons to go Imp....

But what about the non-Jedi parent? Do they lose any and all parental rights as well? THAT is what I'd be damned pissed about. As a Jedi, you have to accept certain things as far as family goes. You can choose to disobey them as you will, but non-Jedi shouldn't be held to the same standard. IMO.
