KOTOR Character Ideas with Abilities

JynErso42

I've been working with another user, @SumantraGanguly, and the two of us have developed a bunch of ideas related to possible characters from Knights of the Old Republic to be included. We ended up deciding to each post some of the characters so this is my half. SumantraGangular will be posting the others.

For this list, we tried to come up not only with ideas for characters, but also for their abilities. Each of them has different types of skills that would theoretically give them an advantage if these ideas were to be implemented in the game.

So here's my list. I thought we came up with some good material. To make it easy to read, I've sorted the characters according to light and dark side. We've also limited the selection to characters from KOTOR I and II, although I am open to ideas for SWTOR characters that could be added.

Light Side

I love this idea!
But this is just me being a lore nerd, I do believe the Jedi Exile was mentioned by name in the novel "Revan" and confirmed female.

I'm not sure the exact source, but the information I have access to generally leans in the direction that the exile is female. On the other hand, I don't know if there's a canon face for the exile so I'm not sure how she could be designed.

That said, all the "canon" information comes from legends. Some aspects of KOTOR's aesthetic have been reworked into canon, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive stance regarding Revan or the exile yet. Part of me wouldn't mind seeing female Revan becoming canon, and for that matter the Juhani romance being incorporated.

DarthzRevan

Her name is Meetra Surik and yes she's female.
