Chosen Of Valkorion (Shaisha Q&A)

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Ask away!

You won't see Shaisha next game, after all!

[Sylvain Torsin]

So when do you plan your inevitable betrayal of us all?

Thanks again sis!

[Moyr Ahaya]

Some basics to catch up on Shai Shai's developments!

Highlight of the game?

Biggest regret?

Moment of desperation?

Dirtiest in-character thought?

[Aphr Ahaya]

Shaisha is such a cool character, I'm glad to have had a little time to roleplay with you.

What was Shaisha's opinon of Aphr by the end?
Does she think Aphr made the right decision regarding her Force future?

[Cole Ormont]

A selfish question, but did Cole have an impact on Shaisha? Because she definitely changed him. Cole finally understands that he has the agency to stop pleasing his father and work out out what he wants from life (though he did, I'm sorry to say, have a IC reason for not going with the Imperials, despite the multiple job offers).

[Remmington Thalalas]

A shame that Shaisha is not coming back next game.

I wanted threads with her but once again ended up doing other stuff.

Does she even have an opinion about Remmy?

*looks at timeline*

Oh, you still got some years before I eat you all.

*blows away the last hair that Syl pulled out*

What are little sisters for if not for being hair-pulling inducing individuals?

• Dapper offering Shaisha a deal with the devil. Hands down. It was not at all what I expected of curveballs to go my way. It was also a moment where I had to set aside all my knowledge on the canon-SWTOR storyline and take a hard look at Shai's Morality, which is Ambition/Greed. Valkorion taking the route of offering her power and appealing to her ego rather than being "I am the Emperor, you are my Child. Do as I say" as he had done before. And well... it feels like it will be a much more interesting story this way.
  
• Hmmm... not participating in some of the other plots that were going around. Like the pirate queen, or doing more with the missing kids, or Project Evolution.
  I didn't want to butt in on other players and make myself "the star", so to speak... thinking Nar Shaddaa is big enough for everyone and I don't need to be involved in everything. But in hindsight I think I would've liked to involve myself in one of the three stories there.
  
• Being in way over my head in the Shade-fight. Thank goodness for my rolls and Destiny-usage before the fight that provided us with an easy escape route! And for Kristal for picking me up!
  
• lulz Too many too mention!

Thanks! It was great meeting Aphr and I'm glad we had an established connection there too.

Shaisha still thinks Aphr is waaay too sweet and naive, and well... she thinks Aphr will be eaten alive by other Sith. Not that she doesn't think Aphr isn't capable of pushing when it comes to it, but because she is getting dragged into a mess she doesn't even comprehend or understand.

So she thinks Aphr would've been better served with seeking out to understand the Force on her own, rather than to throw her lot in with the Sith, who Shaisha is already considering to be a failing constitution. Which is an interesting change for Shai since she used to be die-hard Sith philosophy, but now she's thinking that she needs to rise above the limitations of the Sith Code (and the Jedi Code is still bull ).

[Alysele Cortess]

Eh.... go Shai?

Not too much to say at this point.... anything to say on Aly at this point?

[Shaisha Vreysk]

A selfish question, but did Cole have an impact on Shaisha? Because she definitely changed him. Cole finally understands that he has the agency to stop pleasing his father and work out out what he wants from life (though he did, I'm sorry to say, have a IC reason for not going with the Imperials, despite the multiple job offers).

He did!

It was mostly small things though, and Cole came the closest to making her see that the Empire's way isn't always the best way. If he had decided to go with Shaisha to the Empire, she would probably become a lot more altruistic and considerate in her choices, thinking more of how she can improve things overall for everyone in the galaxy. Which of course would work well with the vision of a more "perfect" society. So I wouldn't say that he'd redeem her to the light, but that he would for sure have a more positive effect on how she sees life for non-Sith.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Does she even have an opinion about Remmy?

Well, very few of the Imps are coming back next game, since it's a Republic-focused game. As how Korriban was an Imperial-focused game.

Her opinion of Remmington... well, it's not a good one. >_>

While she never met him at the Academy, her impression of him then was "who? Oh right, some nobody from a trash-house". He didn't improve it very much when he was basically preaching against the Sith and the Dark Side during the Jedi lunch (and yes, Shaisha did tell Jaina that in passing >_>), as well as hearing about the fallout with the Hutts and the Valkyries... Remmington was pretty much just reinforcing the idea of "idiot who makes bad decisions"-impression he had given her early on.

What can I say, Remmington has yet to do something she thinks is noteworthy or impressive.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Eh.... go Shai?

Not too much to say at this point.... anything to say on Aly at this point?

Alycat, why you no want to hang with me?!

Alysele was very appealing for a Jedi to maybe tip more towards Sith philosophy. Especially if Shai had found out about you and Niall, you temptress you. Overall, she liked Aly though, and would enjoy meeting her again, and bring her into the fold for the new world order!

Do you know what the repercussions of this will be yet? Wanna tell us?

[Shaisha Vreysk]

I don't know what Dapper has planned, but I have some ideas of where it might lead, based on the Knights of the Fallen Empire+Knights of the Eternal Throne storyline in SWTOR. So because of the spoilers there, I won't say anything more. ^_^

Of course, Dapper could just go a completely different direction with things and surprise us all even! It's certainly a story I am very interested in seeing where it will lead!

[Zeno Deathwright]

What will Shaisha tell Zeno when we talk about fighting the Emprah?

[Shaisha Vreysk]

That we're totes still gonna do it?

I mean, just because a girl has agreed to work with someone right now doesn't mean she can't also plot their downfall, right?!

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Also, because I often end up making entire playlists for a game or a specific character... I decided to go even further and change up my music each IC-day.

So, here's the list of what we had each IC day:
Day 0/Pregame: Freeze You Out (Sia)
Day 1: Crimson Bow And Arrow (cover by Jonathan Young)
Day 2: The Absolute Destiny Apocalypse (from Revolutionary Girl Utena)
Day 3: My Therapy (Kamelot)
Day 4: The Moment (Miracle of Sound ft. Karliene)
Day 5: At The Break Of Dawn (Arion ft Elize Ryd)
Day 6: To Be Human (Sia ft. Labrinth)
Day 7: My Confession (Kamelot ft. Eklipse)
Day 8: Dark Horse (Katy Perry)
Day 9: To The Beginning (Kalafina)
Day 10: Break The Ice (Britney Spears) - this was also my main inspiration for Shaisha's interim-fiction >_>
End of game: His Brightest Star Was You (Two Steps From Hell)

[Vec Gunnar]

Thank you for the scenes, free drinks and the cigarette!

Shaisha's spoken intent to change the Empire had him somewhat curious and suspicious, whether she had intended to do so or it was merely a platform for other things. He knows Sith are ambitious and their ambitions often aren't so direct.

[Remmington Thalalas]

Ah fair enough.
