Probably the inquis? Khem is... Khem. I like the Agent and their companions more in general, but... Khem. He is pretty important, storywise.

Wow. Poor Wynston. Poor Ruth. Not worth it then. (To Livia, anyway.)

I definitely would like more physical affection in the romances. I feel the lack of it, especially with Vector - the way they circle around each other all the time, and the gentle, chaste kisses are charming, in their way, but don't really reflect the fact that she (at least) has been lusting after him pretty hard for well over a year before he ever lays a finger on her. What I would really like

And yes, best story ever.

I kind of like the ftb for the love scenes? I think it's more interesting to be able to speculate about the sexual dynamics of the particular pairings than to have them dictated for me. (This has been a topic of in-depth conversation in my guild chat more than once.) Also, I remember the absurdity of those scenes in DA:O, and I am really, really glad that I am not getting that. (Would be nice to let us see Vector with his shirt(s) off once in a while, though). Ohhh. The swagger. The funniest? Vector when he finally visits the agent in her room. It is so out of character for him. Eh. That didn't bother me. Livia always enjoys the ride, even if she finds the 'mount' personally distasteful - she takes pride in her work and that is part of it or her. And he was so grateful afterwards.

Pretty much every time my BH takes her boything out on a job it is date night. She gets, um, excited when she gets to shoot people and set them on fire.

He is just going to have to learn to like it eventually, at least on occasion.

Not the Agent, because it is kind of harrowing. I have found the BH and the Smuggler to be the lighter rides, (although I have not finished my smug - she is at the start of Ch. 3). The Inquisitor one was not really emotionally deep for me either, once Chapter 1 was over, except for my lady's lost love and her pathological need for Khem's affection.

1. Vector - Those eyes, that voice, his personality. Yum. 2. Torian - He tickles my fancy for young, pretty, earnest boys. I don't even have to feel bad about it because he's only very scarcely younger than my BH. 3. Andronikos - THAT VOICE, my god. (Also the customization with the eye patch - he's a pirate, he should have an eye patch, and his initial look was very off-putting to me with the scarring around the eyes.) 4. Doc - So delightfully sleazy and cute. 5. Quinn - His discomfort. That voice. ( .) His unrepentant competence and a**hattery. That face. 6. Pierce - Such a nice voice, any one of my ladies would give him a tumble, if not necessarily anything more. Corso - I like him, but I don't find him compellingly sexy. I can't really rate most of the Pub companions, not having had a lot to do with them.

She is really the only one who I have anything detailed for. I am not a writer, and this is the first time I have written most of this stuff down (except for a quick summary of the stuff on Quesh the first time, and some of the stuff about Hunter at the end, while I was talking to a friend who was at those points in her story). It really came about because I freaked the f**k out about chapter 2, and decided that the best thing for me to do would probably be to spend some time processing Livia's experiences, both because it would be (really) interesting to do so and to separate them out from things in my past from which they were bringing up unresolved feelings. It didn't hurt that I found both the story and her personality as it unfolded and changed over time to be completely fascinating. (And Vector, and his relationship with her also fascinating, oh, yes.) I will probably post my BH's stuff at some point, once I have written it down, but it will be much, much shorter. My other ladies don't have much at all going on. My inquisitor has hardly anything to her, except her love for the poor, dead guy on Alderaan, and her almost pathological need for Khem's approval. She and my smuggler are mostly played as me (and in fact are both called Celacia), and so don't have a lot going on on their own. My trooper is my smuggler's much younger sister, from their father's second marriage, but they haven't even seen each other since she was a toddler, and aren't in contact. My consular has nothing to her at all - I don't really know anything about her. My SW is Livia's younger sister. She knows Livia is in the Empire somewhere, but not how to find her, or even what her name is, and Livia is very, very grateful for that - she was troubled when she heard rumors of a Chiss Sith apprentice surviving Korriban, and when she investigated and saw a picture, she was horrified. Livia is not a good person, by any measure (except LS/DS points I suppose, which really has more to do with her practicality and political sensibility than any sort of virtue), but Kesh is a terrible person. So far the defining features of her personality have been her extreme disappointment that Baras wouldn't let her help torture his prisoners, and how very much she is enjoying terrifying Quinn with her advances.

That is certainly how my agent felt by the end of Chapter 2.

Well, the whole situation is really creepy, isn't it? Your agent isn't really himself, now, is he?

Yeah. He is the only person in the galaxy that my agent trusts absolutely, and it was his responses to her at the end of chapter two that sealed that, but it started with his staring down Jadus in the beginning, and was reinforced by his willingness to protect his people at the end, when it had all fallen apart.

About the flirting: For my agent it works - because she is an a*****e, and stubborn, and when he doesn't respond she gets a little absurd because she is not at all used to men not falling all over her when she hints that she might be interested. She is also completely stupid about actual feelings, and doesn't know how to properly express them.

Spoilers because a) it's really long, and b) there are some spoilers, in chapter appropriate places. It's really, really long. I seem to have spent most of the last 12-15 hours writing it. I... have thought about this a lot, it seems. Backstory: Chapter 1: Chapter 2: Chapter 3: * The aunt mentioned here was the mother of my BH, Thanys. Thanys knows nothing about the Chiss side of her family, as her mother died while she was still very young. Livia saw her once, noticed the resemblance, did some research, and discovered who she was, but never contacted her. Edit: Cleaned up some of the later bits in Ch. 3, expanded some things a bit. Edit 2: Cleaned up a few more typos and added the end of the last fleshed out scene in Livia's room.

I seem to recall him doing that too. I think it was intentional. He is a broken man at this point. I mean, you've won, and saved the galaxy, and that's great, but he's still quite possibly going to be hanged, the organization that he has devoted his life to, the only official organization that really had any power to work against the Sith (except of course, for the Dark Council) and for the good of everyone else, has been destroyed, and everything he has worked for has kind of crumbled into ruin. He had the worst job in the galaxy before it all fell apart. Now what does he have?

It made sense in the context of what she and I had been discussing. I address asides at npcs fairly often, to be honest.

I was talking to Vector in party chat last week and the person I was grouped with logged while I was typing and I didn't notice, so the whole thing went to general instead. I was very glad it was like 3 in the morning and there were only 10 people on the fleet.

It's in the marriage vows: Mhi solus tome, mhi solus dar'tome, mhi me'dinui an, mhi ba'juri verde - "We are one when together. we are one when parted. We will share all. We will raise warriors."—Mandalorian marriage vows Not having babies specifically, but raising kids at least.

My lady agent told him the same thing about the gentleman back home, but she was teasing, in the same way that she was when she told Keeper that she wanted to work in Intelligence because she was a patriot. She hasn't been home in 10ish years, and wouldn't be welcome if she tried to visit. There was a gentleman once...

If you let yourself get emotionally involved with your character there is no better story.
