random Kallus hc inspired by someone else's post #2
man he's gotta hate that he lost his bo-rifle to fucking Thrawn
like so the moral of the Honorable Ones to me was Kallus realizing he has nothing of value in his life--he has TWO personal items to his name; this fuckin glow rock and his bo-rifle which he has just learned is his by right. Regardless of what he did to Lasan, regardless of all the awful reasons he should never be accepted by any of his enemies, that fucking bo-rifle is his and no Honor Guard of Lasan can argue otherwise. There are a lot of reasons he turns on the Empire, but this is where it starts. The realization his life is so small and so empty, and he just limped back to it. Why? Why is this life worth living? And with more research, it stops being a selfish desire to ditch and becomes an informed hatred of the Empire, BUT
lets go back to that kernel of rebellion. Kallus' life is small and empty. He's got a Rock and Bo-Rifle. That's all that defines him outside his identity as a ISB officer.
He just acquired the Rock. He's been living with bo-rifle as his single defining trait for maybe a decade at this point. It's an extension of his beef with Lasat in general, which started on Onderon when one blew up his first Big Boy Mission. It makes sense he'd fixate on such a traumatic event but it's not JUST that. You don't get to have personal hobbies or a sense of fashion or really any kind of identity within the Empire outside who you personally want to fuck up. Kallus chose the Lasat and got fucking spiteful about it, which led him to the Siege of Lasan, where he won his bo-rifle.
but like, it's more than that. It isn't just hatred--if it were, I don't think Zeb would have gotten to him. I think that Kallus has had a buried respect for the Lasat for a long time, if only because of how much time and effort it took to win and then become proficient with the bo-rifle. Then there's the layer of it being the only true outlet for identity he's allowed. THEN there's the fact the bo-rifles are a Force weapon. They've got kyber crystals inside them. And I personally subscribe to the idea that everyone can sense the Force, thus be guided by the Force, it's just that not everyone can recognize what is intuition/one's own emotions and what is the Force, nevermind having an ability to influence other shit with the Force.
What I'm trying to say is I wanna believe Kallus bonded with his bo-rifle in a cosmic way. He is the Warrior, hunting the future; the Force always had plans for his ass and saw that a Force-conductive weapon made its way into his hands, that he then spent years becoming deadly with. That fucking weapon is connected to his soul.
and he lost it to Thrawn.
Thrawn didn't beat him in a fight while Kallus was armed with his bo-rifle, but he super beat his ass in a fight. Even if Kallus could argue he didn't earn the bo-rifle, Kallus couldn't retrieve it before having to gtfo. It's still somewhere on Thrawn's stupid ship--my assumption is that Thrawn goes and adds it to his collection of stolen artwork.
Regardless, Kallus doesn't have it anymore. This thing he poured what little identity he was allowed to maintain, years of hard work and practice and countless battles where he relied on it to keep him alive as his primary weapon, nevermind a Force connection, anyone would become attached to a weapon after years of service. This reminder of Lasan, this piece of history, its fucking gone now.
I don't think he'd think he's allowed to mourn that, considering all he's done, but you can't logic away your feelings, and now he's with a group of ppl who actively find that kind of coping pretty fucking unhealthy. At some point he's gonna have to process what that weapon meant to him and its not gonna be pretty.
imo, he gets a tat of it on the forearm of his dominant hand. He'd think about it for a long time but only go through with it after finally discussing all his mixed up feelings with Zeb, who would super approve of him paying his respects to a sacred fuckin weapon this way. It was his, by right, by soul, by will of the Ashla.

12, 14, 15, 20 (Fanfiction questions)
Questions here - 
12. Who is your current OT3? Theron Shan/Lelu Kallig (my OC Sith Inquisitor)/Andronikos Revel. It is a “V” relationship, in that Lelu is involved romantically with both of her boys, but Theron and Andronikos are not involved that way with each other. They are best friends, though, and they do all share their lives together. It was just easier that way, the living together part, because of who she is (my Outlander) and because their lives are all in a rather constant state of flux. It took a long time to get there, and yes, jealousy can be and still is a thing from time to time (we all suffer from it - it’s what we do about it that can make it unhealthy). They have to work at it, negotiate and learn as they go, and it’s always going to be that way. There are four relationships that make up this one whole…and each one is as important as the next - there’s the relationship Lelu has with Andronikos, the one she has with Theron, the friendship between Andronikos and Theron, and then the dynamic they all share together. If one suffers, they all suffer. 
Tumblr media
(artwork by the lovely @dingoat)
14. Go on, who are your BroTPs? Well of course Theron and Andronikos have a rather important BroTP. It wasn’t always that way. Theron kind of belly-flopped into the happy little life Andronikos had going with Lelu, and Nik was rightfully pissed off, jealous, and apprehensive. There was a lot of tension at first. I wouldn’t say hatred…kind of pissy? Dick measurey? But then Lelu was taken away from both of them when she was captured by the Eternal Empire and locked in carbonite, and the boys were forced to overcome their differences and work together…first to stay alive and to maintain some semblance of a foothold as the power of the Eternal Empire washed across the known galaxy…then to form the beginnings of what would become the Alliance…and finally to find and recover the one who would lead them, the woman they both loved. 
Andronikos is also very good friends with Lieutenant (and eventual Major) Mason Pierce. Nik was never able to really get along with Imperial military, they had history…bad history…and he couldn’t stand that they all had gigantic sticks up their collective bungholes. But Pierce pretty much broke that mold. He was still Imperial, and still towed the line when he had to, but he was also laid back, and knew how to relax and be a person and not just a walking regulation. They hit it off almost immediately, and they continue to work together from within the Alliance. 
I suppose I could call it a BroTP, even though one of the members isn’t a “bro” - can I? I dun care, I will - Theron is very close with Raz, my Jedi Knight. One night in the Jedi temple on Coruscant, a very youngling Theron encountered a sniffling little Twi’lek girl, huddled in a corner, crying for her grandmother. It was Raz’s first night as a youngling and she was scared. He gave her a hug, and stayed with her all night, and they’ve been joined at the hip ever since…absolutely partners in crime. 
Tumblr media
15. Is there an obscure ship which you love? I suppose SW x Pierce is kind of obscure. There aren’t many loud shippers for that one, Quinn almost always wins out, but I just love those two together. Quinn is okay, I have nothing against that ship at all, but I really just love my SW with her Pierce. Last time I checked I think there were only like 7 or 8 fics with a SW x Pierce tag, and three of them were mine! *gigglesnort* Come, join me in my Pierce canoe!
Tumblr media
With LoTRO, I have a couple of obscure ships, and I’d say they’re obscure only because there aren’t any actual romances in the game. But I do have two main characters, and I ship each of them with different NPC’s. My Rohirrim Captain, Rosawyn I ship with Jajax, a quest-giving Corsair encountered in the Gondor region. He has turned his back on his people to support the Free Peoples of Middle Earth. My Dunedan Loremaster (ok, you can’t actually play a Dunedan but I HC it, so fight me), Lengariel aka Lennie, I ship with Lothrandir, a Dunedan Ranger who joins the Grey Company to journey south and answer the call to fight for the heir of Isildur. 
20. Any ships which you surprised yourself by liking? Honestly? SI x Andronikos. It took me a couple playthroughs and writing about it to see the depth of Nik’s character and just how awesome he is. And wow, yeah…to go from “meh” to the top of my list was a giant move…and I’m totally glad it happened. 
Thanks for asking!

I just wish that they’d modelled Kallus more off his VA, David Oyelowo, so that he could just pick up the part in live action, bc I’m gonna have to find it in my heart to love some look-a-like that will probably sound entirely different, all bc they made Kallus white. Like, I get it, the optics in 2014 or whatever of having a black villain in star wars is a lot different than it is today, bc even if Kallus got a redemption arc, I don’t think it was decided from the jump he would have one. Also fan racism would completely change how ppl reacted to Kallus, nevermind how that would complicate any shipping with Zeb (cross-species shipping is already rare in canon, adding real world racism to the mix would effect fan reactions)
I just DONT CARE, and I WISH IT WERE DIFFERENT. I wish that David could jusT TAKE THE JOB and PLAY HIS BOY, but he CAN’T and thats BULLSHIT
like--there’s this fucking interview with him where he talks about how fans coined ‘Hot Kallus’ after season 3 and were DISAPPOINTED when they finally met the voice behind ‘Hot Kallus’ and he didn’t SAY it was bc racism, but ITS BC RACISM. THIS MAN IS HANDSOME AS HELL. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HE COULD SO EASILY GROW THE ICONIC MUTTON CHOPS, HE WOULD KILL IT and I don’t think anyone is even considering giving him the job bc people would lose their minds over ‘accuracy’. 
I say this with utter sincerity. I Do Not Care how much effort I’ve put in to learn how to draw Kallus’ stupid face, I would throw it all in the garbage and happily teach myself how to draw David Oyelowo if he got the part. I know he won’t. I’m so angry he won’t. He deserves to be adored. 
maybe I should just draw him in Kallus’ outfits and pretend, idk

Kallus becoming a devotee of the Ashla is in fact The Best but what might be better is Kallus being a devotee to the Bendu
now its not outright stated that the Bendu is part of the Lasat pantheon but he does name drop the Bogan and Ashla as the two forces he walks Between. Also its hilarious to think that they spent like a year chilling on the same planet as one of Zeb's gods and he legit didn't find out about it until Kanan pissed that god off so bad, said god rained hellfire onto them until they fucked off.
and obviously I'm biased bc the Bendu is not just one of the best parts of Rebels, he's also clearly the god of genderqueers and I hc Kallus as having a nice big coming out as Neither Man Nor Woman in his future.
but also I just love the idea that while Zeb's truest path is as an extension of the Ashla, guarding all that makes life worth living, Kallus can't quite join him in that. Not because Kallus can't be a good person but because he just. Sees shit as more complicated than that. Like that was his job before he defected; he saw the worst of the Empire and defended it because he believed you have to do shitty things sometimes to make things work and ultimately create peace. Even with a reworked moral compass, I like the idea he's just fundamentally cool with a lot of shit Zeb, at his best, cannot stomach. Its just part of him that he has to navigate and be conscious of.
There's also some guidance in there that I think would be easier for him to commit to than 'be the bestest goodest person'. Instead, spending the rest of his life trying to offset the darkness he's helped spread across the galaxy by aiding the light, searching for and creating true balance wherever he's able.
plus like. It lends itself so well to spy shit

I have the silliest scene in my head
Ahsoka, nodding to Cassian as she takes a seat: Fulcrum Cassian, nodding in return: Fulcrum Kallus, joins them with a pot of caff in hand, greets both in turn: Fulcrum, Fulcrum Cass and Ahsoka, in unison: Fulcrum Kallus, offers the pot of caff to Ahsoka, who raises her cup. He fills it: Fulcrum Ahsoka, nodding: Fulcrum Kallus, doing the same for Cassian's cup: Fulcrum Cass, nodding: Fulcrum Kallus fills his own cup and sits, then toasts to each in turn: Fulcrum, Fulcrum. Cass and Ahsoka nod and toast to one another: Fulcrum
All three take a big long draw from their cup of caff

random Kallus hc inspired by someone else's post #1
Kallus' method to resist interrogation is to recite mentally and verbally some form of rhyming verse, the more complicated the better so he has to focus on his diction
I've never realized how well this pairs with @sidhebeingbrand's hc that Zeb loves Old Lasana poetry until right the fuck now, bc I consider Kallus just. Bereft of most understandings of art, both bc of his home-schooled background but also bc the Empire expects he have no vices to distract him from his work, and clearly art is a vice he has not earned.
It's also one of those things where he defies expectations bc he cannot name a single piece of high art, not an opera or a piece of classical music or a well respected novel. All the media he consumed before the Empire was either extremely niche to his region of Lower Coruscant or squarely pop-culture.
BUT him having this method of resisting interrogation even from a force user means he has to know some form of poetry beyond the shitty death metal he was obsessed with as an edgy gangster teen (we will have to leave the Void Screamers genre for another day, its quite involved)
So Kallus definitely knows some complicated tongue twisting poetry and prattle songs, most of them inherently nonsensical like the Jabberwocky or satirical like the Museum song in Barnum (fun musical about a terrible fucking person) , of which I actually rewote the first lines in an RP;
quite a lotta Ryloth terracota, living lava from the flanks of Shu-Torun. Statuary. Sample Bantha dairy. See the Temples tumble and the clone war start.

random kallus hc inspired by someone else's post #3
I think getting him to socialize will be like pulling teeth. It obvs depends on how you interpret his few lines in season 4, but I don't think he was doing the bond villain voice as a joke when he greeted the Spectres. I think he's just like that.
And I think he knows it's off-putting, and is using that as a shield of sorts so he doesn't have to go too far into the unknown after entirely uprooting his life and leaving the Empire.
the explanation I always come back to is 'be what they expect', like that's his strategy within the Rebellion. This is important bc my main hc for Kallus is that everything about his presentation is fake. His accent and cadence was taken from the big bad in a show he liked as a tween. His only formal education is from the Academy, so he lacks a lot of standard knowledge others take for granted. He was an entirely different person before entering the Empire (though it was the Republic at his time of enlistment), and even though he's been in character for the last 20-ish years, there's nothing stopping him from constructing a new one. Nothing but himself and his goals.
Now there's also the comfort aspect. Creating a whole new life is terrifying, and I do think there's a measure of comfort he takes for having 'valid reasons' for not reinventing himself. He's also been shaped by the Empire (and his life before, as a gang lord's son) to expect the worst of people--to make formalities weapons, to always expect the knife in the back, to take any opportunity to tear someone else down so he can rise higher. That's created a paranoid, hyper-alert state re: other people, and the people of the Rebellion have every reason to distrust and ostracize him bc of his past as an ISB officer.
All of this is to say, 'be what they expect' is both a strategy to lessen the friction between him and the Rebellion, and also as a means of protecting his own sense of stability. Changing shit up now could draw unwanted attention, give Rebels cause to distrust his goals and intentions, call into question who he is what he's capable of, and ultimately would be taxing and anxiety inducing for him.
I think he's a proud guy who doesn't do shit in half measures, and that means taking 'failure' very seriously, including social failure. If he's a stuck up asshole ex-Imp, he's not gonna win anyone over, which means he won't feel bad or like he's fucked up if no one likes him much. He's setting himself up for failure as a means of controlling the situation, bc he is very out of his depths and hyper aware of what a mistake could cost.
that isn't to say I don't love hcs where he loosens the sphincter and genuinely tries to socialize and make nice, I fucking adore those, I just think getting him there would be a process. He's a recovering perfectionist, he's gonna need the help.
I also just...look, one of my criteria for imprinting on a character is how likely they are to sit there with a neutral expression while mentally furiously playing 4D chess against themselves and their perceived opponent re: literally any social interaction. I love the mfs who look like they have their shit together but in reality are one misstep away from a meltdown over 'failing' at being a human. It's the autistic people pleaser in me.
and I love the idea of that person being worth saving. That they can bond and find love and friendship and learn to be better at this shit. I like exploring that process, warts and all. I like forcing them to admit they need other people, they want other people, even if it scares them shitless.
There's a song from the musical Company called 'Being Alive' that reminds me a lot of what I feel is the core driving force for Kallus' change. It starts with the character more or less listing all the reasons love sucks, actually, but there's a turn midway where he starts begging for all these little inconveniences because; "Alone is alone, not alive"
And I think Kallus is deeply embarrassed that he feels that way. That for all the perfectly understandable reasons to hate the Empire, he ultimately changed because he was tired of being alone and wanted to be alive. So there's also this layer of penance and self-denial that is informed by his guilt for all he's done, but is ultimately him punishing himself for wanting something so selfish and being so 'weak'.
He hasn't earned friends yet. He doesn't deserve to be loved. He has so much evil to make up for, so much work to do, it'd just be a distraction, and worse a selfish distraction.
And there's reason to consider him an inherently selfish character, I think it should probably be applied to him more, it's a much more realistic take on him, but I personally prefer the obnoxious martyrism of it all. That he's able to flip his morals because they were, ultimately, a put-on anyway. That he is aware of right and wrong and his ability to empathize hasn't withered into nothing after years of violence and cruelty. And even if he can't feel empathy as strongly as he once could, he is at least hyper aware he now runs with a crowd that draws strength from empathy and needs to readjust himself accordingly.
So I guess even if he is still talking and acting like a bond villain, he is tailoring his words and actions to suit the Rebel's sensibilities. And I think he's hyper aware that's a choice--that other people (like Zeb) are just naturally care about the right things and treating others the right way. That he's already deceiving them in a way, which inherently makes him a two-faced liar, and it would just make things messy if he added to that deceit by acting personable and kind and understanding. It's so important the Rebels trust him, so important that they not question his intel and motivations, so it just makes sense that he not push too far and make it obvious he can be anyone. That he could mirror them perfectly, say exactly what they want to hear just how they want to hear it.
No one knows he's a fake person, so he has to keep the mask on. He has to stay in his little ex-imp box and put the real reasons he defected on the back-burner so that this under-funded, over-worked, run-on-shoe-laces-and-hope band of misfits don't die on his watch.
And i really like it when he's proven wrong, and forced to abandon the box and face the horrible ordeal of being known better than he knows himself.

so let's talk about Kallus and Void Screamers
All of this is nonsense I came up with, there's no canon basis for any of this, I just like thinking about it deeple.
my background for Kallus has him growing up in the deepest parts of Coruscant, on level 833, which is lower than I think even Legends implied people can live on Coruscant. Why do I think people can live that far down? Because people are crazy and if you tell them not to do something, they will out of pure spite. Also, its implied that after a certain arbitrary level, the laws of the surface just stop mattering. Which means no one is actively monitoring these communities, which means no one is actively documenting these communities. So who's to say where people are living? The surface doesn't know. People from off world just diving down into the Underground for a bounty wouldn't know.
And I wanted some motivation for Kallus to want into the Imperial Navy, to have a unique perspective on the wider universe, and more than anything to subvert the well manicured erudite 'upper crust' bond villain he passes himself off as.
So Kallus isn't from the surface of Coruscant. He's from a part that most people assume is abandoned. In a way, he grew up sheltered in this subculture of the forgotten and invisible, a civilian of triple zero, THE planet at the core of the known universe, that has none of the luxuries or amenities it's known for. No one in his family has even seen the sky, it's so far above them, practically in enemy territory, where someone without a government issued ident chip simply cannot reach without risking incarceration.
And ultimately I decided he still should come from a privileged background within the Underworld--a son of one of the many gang lords that rule over their little slices of Basement--but that's not really important for the discussion of Void Screamers.
What is important is trying to decide how people who have lived for generations below several thousand layers of duracrete would interact with religion. I decided it'd be kind of a non-relationship. These people would have had to rely on themselves and one another for so long in this purely man-made hive of rusting tech, I thought they'd consider the gods as good as dead.
I'm not sure when I decided that there was still one god left behind, but I know it wasn't initially going to be an extension of the Bendu. I think that was just a happy accident. Basically; there were gods once, of many different domains, but then the mortals decided to defy the gods and wall off the sky. Unable to forgive this transgression, what gods were not killed by having their domains destroyed by human construction just straight up left, leaving only one behind. A god who could not leave, because its domain was any empty space, an unfilled cavity. It had no blessings to bestow or worship it required, but it was there all the same, in the deepest levels of the planet, and above, cradling the stars.

my mind is still boggling man, maybe I just AM too shippilled to Get OPs post
Maybe OP does have a more rounded, nuanced take on Kallus
Maybe I do actively, consciously think less of Kallus bc I deeply believe he is the kind of MF to make his entire life about another person. Like. Unapologetically. Embarrassingly. Without pause.
I mean I also believe he would lie about it. And he'd be able to lay out piece by piece why it makes perfect sense he chose, for himself, to leave the Empire because of course anyone in his position, when faced with this information, would do the same, and never once would Zeb's name have to pass his lips.
I just also think like. Deep down he did do it to specifically be on Zeb's level. Like not even friends, just equals. That he knows he'd be less than, a true coward, dishonorable in the eyes of those he came from and those he conquered, if he didn't follow through
like it doesn't NEED to be a ship thing, but I also totally believe it is, because I Totally Believe Kallus has one setting and that setting is 'hyper fixated perfectionist', and that he's had a confused and guilty hard-on for Lasat since one murdered his entire company, and that it's not even his fault, the Ashla itself created him with the distinct and true purpose of being a little freak about Lasat, and specifically Garazeb Orrelios.
Does it make it better if I think he feels super guilty about it? Like its a shame he intends to take to his grave but of course cannot bc he just straight up doesn't deserve to live it down? IDK man, I guess I just don't see the appeal of not wanting this dude to be a freak when canon gives us all the room in the world to call him a freak and actually it'd be kinda boring if he's just A Guy who Defected bc the Empire Sucked. Like...duh. We all know the Empire sucks.
I'm just trying to wrap my head around this without getting anymore crayon smudges on the OPs post bc they straight up deserve to see Kallus however, even if it does break my brain. I just...
I really like prophecies like this in fiction ok, I'm a feral lil demon over the idea some piece of shit Bogan fueling edgelord was brought into this world specifically to do heinous shit only for fate and love to save him from himself, and fuckin. a FIELD OF DYING STARS WAS INVOLVED. OKAY. ITS VERY IMPACTFUL.

Thoughts on wtf is going on with Zeb;
Didn’t he retire? 
yeah, like. Five years ago. To spend his days with Kallus who is a fucking workaholic. Have you met ‘retired’ workaholics? They don’t know how to let the world turn without them. Plus we don’t know how involved the rest of the Spectres are with the New Republic. As much as I wanted those motherfuckers to go and RELAX, it does make sense that they’d be sucked back into ‘protecting the galaxy’ either from family influence or general restlessness. The dredges of the Empire are still out there, after all. The war ended, but people still need protection.
it makes a lot of sense that they’d be keeping to the Outer Rim rather than taking more prestigious positions in the Core. I’d like to think they’re hanging around Lothal while Ezra is gone, looking after it for him. 
Where is your husband, sir? 
as much as I hate to say it, it makes sense Kallus isn’t there. Zeb and Kallus have very different skillsets. If they’re lending their time to the Republic as either full on employees or contractors, they’d be regulated to very different sectors. This dovetails into why the fuck is Zeb in a pilot’s suit? It’s likely bc that’s his new position. His strength is as a mechanic and gunner, his place is in a hanger working on ships. And this is, like, an official government now and stuff. You gotta wear the uniform. Along with that, you can’t fly a civilian ship for government duties. They aren’t gonna be OKing the Glimmer for missions, which means the boys can’t ‘work from home’, which means they aren’t likely to be working together on the regular. Kallus’ place is in data analysis and logistics. Poor fuck is likely chained to a desk somewhere (ideally on Lothal) while Zeb goes where ever ppl need an extra hand. Which sucks. It’s clear Kallus chose to be part of the naval division of the ISB bc he LIKES being on the front lines. Now, well. It’s not just peace time, there’s also (hopefully) limits on what they’re willing to give to this New Republic. They’ll both help, but they won’t sell their souls. No career positions, no politics, just good honest work to keep this sector of the universe running smoothly. Unfortunately, not getting too involved probably means desk job for info boy.
Also, Kallus could have been a huge asset to the Amnesty Program, but you know what? It probably would have been triggering as fuck to police other ‘ex-imps’, and also when it was in the planning stages, he was likely tRYING to be legit retired. 
honestly, I’m hoping to see both him and Zeb as fairly critical of the New Republic, knowing they can do the most good (and with the least friction) within the system but skeptically waiting for it to fuck everyone over, while always keeping an eye out for the remnants of the Empire. Its safer for them to play with the New Republic, too. It gets them easy(er) access to NR resources and keeps them in the know about coming dangers. Its a marriage of convenience, built on an understanding that they should never fully place their trust in anyone but themselves, bc the Core doesn’t give a shit and is always busy huffing its own farts
