General Ronovi Tavisaen
Textual submission

Once determined to
be the perfect soldier, she
fell short of that goal.

Then she wore a crown
as Yridia burned. So
much for being Prince.

The Academy
beckoned to her, but her wild
mind led to chaos.

Then in Plagueis, she
turned traitor for power. For
this, she slept for years.

Ronovi reaches
for glory - it slips away.
Woman can drink, though!

Textual submission

Red of skin, blue hair,
eyes of steely blue and gray
Two well-used livers

Two guns and a knife
to fight off all the bad guys
Got pew pews fo' days

No pheromones here
to sway the folk around her
Just natural charm

A merc, a pilot,
a smuggler, and bartender
to bring credits in

A lover to few
A fighter that just wants peace
This is the Red Qek

TuQ’uan Varick di Plagia
Textual submission

Grew up in the streets
Teaching himself all he knows
So-as-to survive

Always working hard
Building his reputation
Charging a steep price

He's out for himself
Don't fret, it's not personal
It's just business

Always up to task
Never been afraid to kill
When the job requires

Splicing is his life
At home with a terminal
TuQ'uan will get in
