Our characters can have last names independent of our legacy names now!  It's only been a requested feature since launch (if not before)...


...why, yes, I do play on Ebon Hawk.  Why do you ask?  Grin

On the other hand, I'm sure I'm going to accidentally switch myself from a PvE instance to a PvP instance and die a quick and horrible death.  Cheesy

Nice! I have several characters who really aren't related to my first Legacy guy so this is quite useful.

I'm still waiting for Vette, though...

I have a couple who are not only unrelated to other characters in my legacy, but who I don't even tell people I have.  At least once, I've told my guildmaster "I'm not in-game, but I can be in about half an hour" while I was running missions with one of those characters.  Smiley  I've also had to come up with some pretty stretched backstories to account for the same legacy name across different characters.  (eg, my smuggler's ex-husband is my knight's cousin--although neither of them know it--and my warrior just has the same name coincidentally.  Roll Eyes )  Fortunately, I also play a few Twi'leks using Twi'lek-style names (like Nawar'aven in the X-Wing books, aka Nawara Ven) which helps with not having one big happy family across half a dozen species...

Waiting for her for what?  (If it's for KotFE, I haven't started that yet, so forgive my confusion.  I'll get to it one of these days.  Smiley )

Ah! I won't spoil it for you then. You really should start on KoTFE though, the cinematics are the best of any expansion so far.

Yeah, I had this weird back story in my head to explain how my Twi'lek Jedi and Human Sith lords are somehow related. lol.

Yeah; I haven't really been able to play for a few months for various reasons, unfortunately, so I'm a bit behind on things.  Most of the time I have been in I've been hanging out with friends rather than doing storylines.

Vette and the Sith Warrior adopted?
So, I didn't look at what companions you would get before coming up with my first few character concepts.  This resulted, completely coincidentally, in making a Lethan (red) Twi'lek body type 3 Sith Warrior with the same tattoo pattern as the Lethan customization for Vette.  Based on his personality as I pictured it, I'm not sure if it would've been love at first sight, but there would've been lust at first sight at least.  If they got married and decided to have kids, there's absolutely no way he'd go with adoption and miss out on the excuse to try--as often as possible--to have kids on their own.  Wink

Incidentally, not looking also meant that I came up with a Rattataki sniper with almost exactly the same pattern as Kaliyo.  I picture her as my character's rebellious little sister.  I have them in similar outfits carrying matching rifles (a sniper rifle for my sniper, and the non-sniper version for Kaliyo--I got it back before she could use sniper rifles, but it works well since she's body type 1 and my character is body type 2).  On the minus side, I also made a bounty hunter almost identical--in both looks and personality--to Akaavi Spar's default appearance.

I wasn't aware interspecies reproduction existed at all in the Star Wars universe...I thought it was like Mass Effect where that doesn't happen.

Plus I notice that Ashara Zavros and the Inquisitor don't seem to believe they're capable of having children together.

I think Vyk means that both his Warrior and Vette are the same species and race (Lethan Twi'lek), therefore making natural procreation the preferred method of gaining children Wink

Interspecies children can happen, though: a canon, less weird example would be Quinlan Vos (Human/Kiffar), while a stranger, Legends character would be Valenthyne Farfalla (half-Bothan). Species of drastically different genetic makeup probably wouldn't work though, even in the wonderfully diverse SW universe.

I don't know about your Inquisitor/Ashara, but as for mine, it seems like the main issue with having kids would be their differing viewpoints. Ashara doesn't want to get married, let alone have kids with the Inquisitor.

I haven't gotten to the romance yet with my LS Inquisitor, but I've seen a video of how that goes and with the Light Side Inquisitor, I get an impression that even without formal marriage, she would be willing to raise children with him.

That's interesting, when Ashara pledged herself to my DS Inquisitor she said something along the lines of: "I'll teach your followers and children." Poor guy doesn't seem like he has a chance raising kids with her.

I guess I interpreted the same line in the LS context as including the possibility of either adoption or the Inquisitor continuing his bloodline with the help of a surrogate.  But then context is everything, and given it was LS, I was looking on the more optimistic side of things.  In my headcanon the couple does end up taking in at least one that they consider their own.

Ah, interspecies reproduction does happen in both universes. Humans can breed with near humans in star wars (or at least some species). In Mass Effect the Asari can breed with any other species or gender and are mono- gender (but are feminine in appearance/ maternal instincts).

Back on topic, I'll be glad to finally give my smugglers their proper last names. Been weird having them all called 'Jaste'.... With a mix of humans, twi'leks are zabraks in the family Tongue

I had forgotten momentarily about the asari.  As for SW, I was not sure that any interspecies breeding remained canon.  But even where interspecies reproduction wasn't possible I would see no reason a couple wouldn't marry regardless and adopt, hence some of the in-game Legacies.
