@connectionparadox asked and she shall receive. (I mean... after I do that little "nah you don't wanna know that, do you" dance (YES ASK ME ABOUT MY OCs))

A collection of all the info I have about Amiss so far – minus some details. Will edit eventually.

Amiss lives in a slaver's encampment, where he's the general drudge. He can move more or less freely around the camp, but is walking on eggshells constantly. Like all slaves, he wears a shock collar. That keeps him from fleeing.

Around 14 yo (which makes him older than even Ordo), looks about 18 yo

Doesn't age quite normally, but a lot slower than regs

Kaminoan runaway

Lean, gaunt body (very malnourished at the start)

Is a good cook, knows how to keep house

Only got rudimental training, has a shit aim. (Not half bad with a knife, tho)

Distinctive feature: a shy smile that will melt your heart

Knows how to give head, but doesn’t know how to hug without crying

Talent for naturopathy + ships

Wants to become a medic

Gets instantly adopted by Fi

Speaks Basic and Mehiwan (the language of the planet he grew up on) and understands Twi'leki. Later on Fi teaches him some Mando'a.

Fled Tipoca City (Kamino)

>> Where?

Grew up on Mehiwa

The small planet with the slave camp is called Viltriss Utdrag

>> Owned by

Pat’ekk

>> How Fi describes him:

Fi wonders how he manages to look so small and fragile despite his heritage. He’s undeniably an outlier, although Fi feels the same deep connection to him that he has to every one of his brothers. Amiss features all the characteristics of a clone: The unmistakable face – with the worried doe eyes that constantly remind him of Ordo. The dark hair, tanned skin and exactly the right height. But all his brothers are shaped by training and the battlefield. They have bodies that are used to wearing 40 kilos of armor plus equipment and still move quickly and silently. In contrast, Ami looks like a teenager still, underdeveloped and deliberately kept small. Hunger paints hollow cheeks on his emaciated face, and with his narrow shoulders and an even slimmer waistline, Fi imagines he’d be collapsing under the weight of even the lightest cadet armor.

>> Body marks:

A tally of cuts on his back as an unfriendly reminder for every time he had to be punished because he 'fucked up'

Branding with the slaver's logo on his nape

>> Why Mal?

You go and ask Amiss that.

Fi would rather see him have a crush on a trashcan than on Mal. Ordo just goes *stiff polite smile*

EDIT 01.10.2023 - INFO DUMP

- At the beginning, he says "sorry" a lot. Like, annoyingly often. It gradually gets better once he's around people who make him feel like he's not a total failure and he can stop walking on eggshells all the time.

- He starts looking healthy rather quickly when he regularily gets decent meals. But he never quite mends enough to look like the troopers who had ideal grow up conditions. (author's note: a twink is a twink)

- I haven't decided on the details yet. But after he left Kamino, he was raised in a village, under poor living conditions but with friendly people. The village got in the crossfire of the war and was destroyed. And then the slavers came and took what was left.

- He has problems verbally communicating his emotional and physical needs. So he sticks to actions. (which actually can be overwhelming at times for someone who isn't used to it). He's so touch starved it hurts. So, sometimes, being close to people overwhelms him, too. It's all so difficult...

- It's super rare for him to raise his voice. He usually speaks very softly.

- He wears various layers of brown linen that do a good job in hiding his form

- I mean, that's kind of a sub-sub-plot and also semi-spoiler-y. But true to the Mandalorian wedding vow, Fi takes it very serious to "raise warriors". Which is why it's so important to him that Ami gets combat and weapons training and learns about the Mandalorian culture. Much later, Ami receives his first pieces of looted armor (which will also introduce some color back into his wardrobe) and will eventually look and act like a half-decent Mando. But as for now, that's still a long, looong way off.

#okay he has a fact sheet now #jfc that's a first one #the clones keep being first ones for me huh #Amiss #OC #OCs #Chicken writes #my OCs

Pics: Deja Vu?!!¹

Nope.

It's just, my last post was so long, that I left the pic descriptions out!

Don't want to buck the systemic way that society is going thru right now.

With everything being summarized - without understanding that the minute details matter just as much as the important points...

But, enough social commentary.

That's not my aim here.

(I leave that to my collection of political cartoons...)

Just think of this as Part 3 of HPL's translation of "Ragnar's Death Song."

Now, let's get back to the fun.

1. A woodcut print(?) of a younger Olaus Wormius.

The Latin circular inscription reads as "The Royal(?)² Medical Academy at Hafnia.³ Public Latin Professor, Aged 38."

2. The 2nd print is of a much older Wormius.

This inscription reads as "King's Latin Professor of Copenhagen..." (I don't know what the Latin notations "A. M. DC" mean.), but, the rest is "54 Aged 66."

Maybe that last part is a form of "From Death of Christ 54 to Age of 66?"

Wormius's 'reign' as teacher?

3. This is the Isle of Gotland in Sweden, Northern Europe. It's part of the Geatland/Gothland provinces.

4. The Vistula River system, whose branches touch upon several other, nearby nations.

5. Bucklers! Every home should have one!

Although the ones on the cover are too artsy for war. But, they can serve as wall decorations...

6. This is a much later painting of what Valhalla might have looked.

It shows a richly detailed feasting room - with Odin in attendance.

He's presiding over the meal. Sitting to the right wearing a winged helmet - &, with 1 of his 2 war wolves!

These were Geri ("the ravenous") & Freki ("the greedy one") - so basically the same name.

7. More modern sculpture of Odin ("inspired, raging") - with Gungnir ("rocking, swaying"⁴) his magic spear.

The old Norse Gods are still 'alive' & worshiped today.

This Neo-Pagan religion is known as Asatru ("faith in the Aesir"⁵), Forn Sed ("the old way"), etc.

It's not a direct continuation of Norse beliefs. Instead, it's a reinterpretation of the original religion.

As there are too few written sources on the subject...

8. This portrays Balder's death - from a mistletoe spear or arrow shot by his blind brother Hodur!

Hodur ("stout warrior") was tricked by Loki ("fire?" or "entangler?"), who didn't tell Hodur that mistletoe was Balder's only weakness.

This didn't matter to Odin, whose son Vali ("strong", "vigorous") slew Hodur in revenge!

Loki didn't escape punishment. He was bound in a cave, with a viper's poison dripping on his pretty face.

He wouldn't escape til Ragnarok...

In the pic, Thor is to the left, Odin is at the center & Frigga ("free", "related") is the Goddess to the right.

Balder is downed - with an arrow to the chest.

Hodur is weeping over him.

9. More modern illustration of Hela⁶ ("hidden" or "mysterious one"), the Norse Goddess of Death - but, only those who didn't die in battle...

Originally, Hela wasn't seen as evil, just part of the life cycle.

But, Christian pastors equated her with the now evil Loki - who was, originally, only a trickster...

10. Finally, a great painting of scantily clad Valkyries ("choosers of the slain").

Sigh...

It is, of course, a modern version of war spirits who would have worn some kind of Norse armor to fulfill their various duties...

Sex is never mentioned in Valhalla ("hall of the slain").

Just enjoy.

6 Notes (& you're finished):

1. Deja Vu (French, "already seen") is the weird feeling of thinking you've gone thru the same experience again.

But, you haven't...

It's thought to be caused by the hippocampus in each temporal lobe.

During certain seizures this brain tissue is activated, causing such memory experiences.

An estimated 97% of people are thought to have experienced Deja Vu.

It's known to occur more to folk 15 to 25 years old, during evenings & on weekends!

You're susceptible if you're very smart, travel a lot, remember your dreams & are a liberal!!

Neurologists say that it's "just a false sense of familiarity."

And, it's usually not dangerous.

So, no worries.

2. Swedish Regla is usually translated as "a rule", "ruler" or "rules."

So, it could read as a "Medical Rules Academy."

I made a choice...

3. Hafnia is Swedish for the city of Copenhagen, Denmark.

4. The "rocking" or "swaying" might be references to Odin's actions before a battle.

He would "shake" Gungnir, his spear & then throw it over all the warriors that would die during that battle!

And Gungnir never missed its mark...

5. Aesir translates as "members of the Gods."

Strangely enough, the Aesir aren't the only Gods of the viking skies!

These other divinities were called the Vanir ("friendly"). They were primarily Gods of fertility, wealth & commerce.

Both pantheons had a war between them. But, afterwards, they traded hostages & became close allies.

6. Helheim/Hel ("the concealed land") was the literally underworld kingdom of Hela ("hidden mysterious one").

She ruled over all of the souls of those who never accomplished something worthy of honor.

Hela (Loki's daughter) is described as being half blue or black (both corpse colors) & half flesh colored.

Over time, this 'attribute' has been transformed into Hel/Hela having a half corpse side & a half alive side...

End.
