Padawan
I've not been on the forum long enough, nor am I a participant in the right circles to know whether or not such a concept has been done a million times over on the forum. But my idea is this:
In the aftermath of a battle, invasion, failed operation, or even a brutal training exercise gone wrong, Lumiya finds someone she should probably leave behind. A Sith. Injured. Possibly unconscious. Possibly dangerous.
The smart decision would be to walk away. The safer decision would be to report them. But Lumiya has never been particularly good at abandoning people simply because they are inconvenient to care about. With no Master looking over her shoulder and no strong ties pulling her toward doctrine, compassion wins over caution. She stabilizes their injuries, hides them long enough for recovery, and when conventional healing is no longer enough, she makes a choice that she perhaps shouldn’t.
To save their life, Lumiya gives a piece of her own life-force to sustain them. Not enough to kill her. But enough that something remains afterward. Maybe they can sense each other across short distances. Maybe injuries, emotions, or strong moments echo faintly between them. Maybe they simply carry the quiet awareness that part of one now exists within the other. Whatever the effect, the connection is unwanted, unplanned, and impossible to fully sever. A Jedi healer and a Sith survivor tied together by an act of compassion that should never have happened.
I’m looking for a character dynamic built on quiet tension, ideological contrast, reluctant trust, and emotional vulnerability rather than immediate romance or corruption arcs. Maybe the Sith views the bond as a debt that must eventually be repaid. Maybe Lumiya becomes the one person they cannot neatly categorize as enemy. Maybe circumstance forces them into temporary alliance afterward; something that slowly evolves into a strange road-trip dynamic through warzones, hidden worlds, damaged ships, and moments of uneasy peace between disasters.
What interests me most is the slow development between two people who should, by all logic, remain enemies. Conversations during hyperspace travel. Philosophical disagreements that never quite become hatred. Small moments of care neither of them knows how to acknowledge. Watching each of them quietly challenge the other’s understanding of strength, mercy, survival, and attachment. The Sith does not need redemption, and Lumiya will not abandon who she is. If anything, the appeal is that they remain fundamentally different people while still becoming important to one another in ways neither side prepared them for.
Whether the story remains platonic, becomes emotionally intimate, develops romantic tension slowly over time, or settles somewhere harder to define, I’m open to exploring it naturally. More than anything, I’m looking for a story about two wounded people carrying an impossible connection through a galaxy that would likely condemn them both for it.
If this piques your interest and you have a character in mind, then please don't hesitate to drop me a DM. Thank you kindly!
