A jedi on the run post Order 66 and the bounty hunter who tracks him down and accidentally falls in love with him.

Drawings of my SW fan characters.
Ka'am (she/her) with Ahma (they/them), whom she called mentor.
Ahma is a togruta oc, who did die during Order 66. They have been redesigned a few times now, but nothing too drastic. This will probably be the only post about them, since I mostly drew Ka'am and Sib.
Second set of drawings are practices and warm ups I did using Ka'am. I used photod of professional ice skaters and tennis players for references.
Dates: Dec 3 and 15, 2022.
(For you)
May you tell us information about your OCs? Frankly I'm new to Star Wars and I like anything related to Kaleesh/Kaleesh Culture :p
Oh of course!
When Grievous was taken by Count Dooku, the role of khagan fell to Bentilais. Bentilais held onto this role until he was taken by Lord Sidious. For almost 20 years, there was no khagan, no izvoshra, and no planetary army of Kalee. The kolkpravis had scattered to the wind, returning to their homes on Kalee or colonizing the nearby planets of Tovarskl, Oben, and Abajji Minor. However, not long after Bentilais died, a new, unnamed female Kaleesh leader was believed to be the reincarnation of the legendary demigod Ronderu lij Kummar. (Fun fact, the unnamed female Kaleesh actually has a basis in the source material, I have simply given her some character).
Inann'a was born in 22 BBY to the kur tribe, a clan of Kaleesh jungle warriors known for fighting like demons. The kur tribe places a lot of emphasis on names and their meanings. They believe your first name represents your future and your path in life. Your tribe name represents your past, where you come from, your people. Your earned title represents your present, who you are, and why. Inann'a means Lovely Warrior, someone both beautiful and dangerous. Kur is one of the Kaleesh afterlives, somewhat comparable to hell. The name kur means "from hell", ie, demons. The tribe takes pride in this name, leaning into Kaleesh demonic imagery. They also have a habit of coating their weapons in the poison of a paralytic jungle flower. The name Kummar is actually Grendajuin in origin, as it was initially used to describe Qymaen jai Sheelal's twin demigod from the ice continent Ronderu lij Kummar. Inann'a loathes her title, as it isn't hers to begin with, and was mostly forced upon her. However, nobody listens to her because, c'mon, that's the reincarnation of the Kummar!
Inann'a's village was massacred by a wandering warlord and his horde, who slaughtered all of the warriors and took the remaining Kaleesh as slaves/concubines. Inann'a, who had suffered an injury hunting was resting and unable to help while the attack occurred. Over time, she learned that most of the horde simply tolerated their tarkhan, and fought for him out of necessity and convenience. Using this, she organized a rebellion, and dragged the tarkhan out of his bed one night and killed him in front of his warriors. The horde summarily dispersed, but Innan'a was left with about 300 or so warriors loyal to her, mostly the slaves, the tarkhan's various wives, and a good number of the horde. Over time, she has amassed a greater army than Kalee has ever seen, and is well on her way to making the Kaleesh a galactic force to be reckoned with.
Gharash'fa once had a true Kaleesh name, but it has been lost to the annals of history. Now he is only known as Gharash'fa, aka, Problem Dad.
Born in 55 BBY, he lived in a small fishing village on the coast of the Jenuwaa Sea. His village would often trade with a much larger livestock village upriver. Every year at the New Year's Festival, the two villages would merge into one to throw a huge celebration. It was at one of them that he met a girl. She was of a richer family than he, and was set to become the matriarch of her tribe when the time came. He, on the other hand, ran wild as a fisherman's son. (A bit of context: I headcanon that Kalee's ocean is way more biodiverse and alive than the land, and tends to be quite dangerous for the water-averse Kaleesh. Fishermen and sailors of all types are regarded as a fair bit crazy because they purposefully go out on the Great Blue Death). They were almost polar opposites, but they complimented each other perfectly. She taught him a bit more restraint and could soothe his wild streaks of emotion, while he gave her more excitement than her family thought was healthy. They'd often go out on his canoe and simply float, staring at the stars. They were in love.
Then the Huk arrived. They were called away to war. He was amongst the first to serve under Qymaen jai Sheelal. In 33 BBY, he was deployed to Abbaji Minor to fight the Huk there. His kamen was sent into an ambush unknowingly, and they were stranded. The Huk's reinforcements arrived and pushed the Kaleesh off the planet. They were helpless, deserted on an alien planet, with no hope of returning home. Over the years, disease, starvation, or losing the will to live dwindled the original group of 32 to him and one other. By 20 BBY, it was just him and one other. The pair was never told that the Huk War had ended, that the Huk had won, or that the planet had been returned to their greatest enemies. They spent years terrorizing the Yam'rii colonizers before his friend died of an infected wound. It was also during this time that Gharash'fa lost his left arm from just above the elbow down.
Despite the loss of his greatest comrade, he refused to give up the fight. If he stopped now, it would all have been for nothing. He had lost too much. Eventually, though, the Yam'rii enemies stopped appearing. He still saw them in the shadows, in the twitching of branches, in the canopy as the wind rustled the leaves, but they weren't there. It was as if they had simply dropped off the face of the earth. In reality, the year was 3 BBY and the Yam'rii had returned to their home planet of Huk to defend against the Empire. It took another 3 years before he was found by a group of rebels looking for a place to hide. The fact that the planet was seemingly only inhabited by one large, angry, borderline-senile lizard man with one arm did nothing to deter them. Their pilot, a young Kaleesh woman, recognized the Yam'rii scars on his chest, arms, and face, and asked how long he had been fighting the Huk. Almost immediately, they began to swap war stories.
Now, Gharash'fa fights for the Rebellion. Even one-handed, he fights better than any stormtrooper. His time on Abbaji Minor has scarred him, mentally and physically, and he's still incredibly jumpy. Despite this, he's as quiet as death and prefers to use sign language. The young Kaleesh woman had been orphaned by the Empire, and he never had any kids, so they've become a family unto themselves. As for the girl he loved on Kalee? They say when she returned, she became a reclusive hermit, living alone in the woods. Nobody has seen or heard from her since.
Nanulak is my newest OC and the one I've got the least solid backstory for. I'm still trying to decide whether I want him around during the High Republic era or the Sequel Era.
Nanulak is a Kaleesh bounty hunter from Grendaju. He has been exiled from Grendaju for the crime of patricide and has taken up bounty hunting to make ends meet. He lives by a strict code of honor dependent on proving his strength and capabilities. He travels the galaxy, only taking jobs that could prove a challenge for him. His reputation is of a cold-blooded animal, relentless in his icy fury. He sees everything as a game and conducts himself not as a hunter of men, but as a predator. Think Kraven the Hunter, or the Yautja from the Predator series. He dislikes blasters as a rule, instead preferring to use his slugthrower rifle or any manner of melee weaponry. His skull mask is made out of the skull of a karabbac.
