Description Kallora

So, this is it... I'm sorry if you waited something cute or fluffy about these two again... xD Today's angst time! Since 'Through imperial eyes' airs today in which we will learn if Kallus dies or they manage to save him and he joins the rebels I thought it would be fitting to share how my story goes about these two. And I really-really wanted to finish it in time so I worked literally day and night for like a week to finish this. I already had this story quite a long time now, and then I learned that Kallus became Fulcrum and it added a plus meaning to the whole thing, even more reason for this to happen.Β 
The guy in the white uniform is Essho Lieh (I think I shared a few sketches about him already, maybe) He's another ISB agent, and he hates Kallus ever since the Academy because Kallus always was better than him and Essho's real achievement would be to defeat Kallus so setting up a cruel trap like this satisfies him greatly. All those years he kept stalking Kallus' records to know what is his rival doing, how is he developing and while Kallus kept refusing promotions to be able to stay on the battlefield Essho didn't miss one opportunity to climb up the career ladder. He's more the mind than the muscle, manipulation, charisma and finding the right persons are his specialities. Right now he's working with Thrawn on capturing this mole within the Empire, and learning it is Kallus... Damn it was like Christmas for him. He also holds a grudge against Tora (mostly for being Kallus' girlfriend, once he tried to get her for himself just to take her from Kallus -he thinks she's ugly anyway- but of course he failed, the only thing he achieved was a punch from Tora) so he will really enjoy what he's about to do to her ;_____;
Poor Kallus just realized he fucked up... Fucked up real badly... He never was afraid to risk his own life but now the woman he loves will get tortured and executed because of him...... I can't even imagine the desperation he feels here... And if we talk about desperation... Fuck, can you imagine Tora's state of mind?? She worked so damn hard for the Empire all these years believing their propaganda all along that she can help creating a peaceful more secure world, so she followed every fucked up order, made so many sacrifices and did extra work all the time, was always one of the top troopers and she gets this in return?? They accuse her with treason while she's one of the most loyal imperials out there! And they betray her this badly and will torture her... She finally found happiness with Kallus and now it is all shattered... And the poor woman has no idea it is all her fiance's fault... Kallus never dared to share his new affiliation with her knowing that she still believes the Empire's lies. *sigh* And now Kallus has no choice but walk into the trap and contact his new friends, the rebels because he knows he has no chance to save Tora alone.

The troopers accompanying Essho are practically a variation of Krennic's death troopers they just have white armor and helmets. I imagine once Essho became high rank enough he immediately acquired his own 'body guards' so to call just to show off how powerful and important he is. Also his ranking plate is completely made up because I can't figure out Imperial ranking plates to save my life. Β

Oh yeaaaaah! The commission piece makes sense now, I forgot about this one! Still super impressed with the white death troopers. Gives me an idea for an Imperial Spec Ops unit, unless you've already devised a plan with them. Since they look like white death troopers, I was thinking of calling them like Phantom troopers or Reaper troopers or something along those lines.

This is great, and I love seeing it tie into the events as they go along in Rebels, can't wait to see what happens next.

By the way, you were really close with the ISB officer's rank plate. It's 3 red squares and then 3 blue squares (although sometimes it's 3 blue then 3 red).

Compassion can be both your greatest strength and a weakness. It can make a man or it can destroy a man. Love may lead someone down a dangerous path of no return. But do you have the courage to walk this path? Will you risk everything for that person that makes life worth living? And perhaps even that is not enough. But failure is another topic by itself...

Well the reason I don't think they're death troopers is because death troopers have elite armour and those troopers have standard armour

Pretty nice comic. Have you seen the new trailer with Kallus as a rebel on Yavin? I really like, how he has evolved into a good guy. He's one of my favourites in Rebels.

Nice death troopers variation. For my version of Starkiller. I created his own Stormtrooper-Elite, the Black Squadron. 11 Stormtroopers - recruted from the worst of the scum on Kessel and other imperial prisons - bound through a loyalty-vow on Starkiller. When they got killed, Starkiller used an ancient Sith-ritual to give them almost imortallity. They could even regenerate a lost limb or head and even regenerate destroyed armor and weaponary.
Black Squadron wears black Stormtrooper armor, since they didn't want to leave their past as regular soldiers behind.
My Alias Scout-leader is the leader of the Black Squadron. He wields the standard E-11 Blaster and his modified Kartana-sword, since he prefers to get to his enemies up close and personal.

If you want, I can tell you more about some of the other essencial members of Black Squadron.

So Kallus got Tora a ring? Because you had her mentioned as his fiance.

FS-the-voresmith [2017-03-01 19:40:00 +0000 UTC]

Oh, no...

That's a powerfully drawn emotional twist. The moment before the storm, in the first image, when they're happy and contented and relaxed. And then the sheer shock... It comes across very well, and just grips us.

I agree with you, by the way, that it didn't make sense to see Kallus smile at seeing so many of his comrades-in-arms being murdered by a Rebel bomb. They're people he's worked with, and many of them are no doubt good, decent people. (More generally, I have trouble understanding how someone who switches sides in the Civil war can then start killing his former comrades and seem quite casual and remorseless about it.)

I confess, I do feel a bit sorry that Tora will now be leaving the Empire. (After being rescued or escaping, which I rather look forward to seeing. ) I've long found it interesting to see morally good characters remaining in service to the Empire. It's a potentially quite fascinating situation, in terms of character personality. It's also a nice reminder that although the Empire's leaders are evil (Palpatine, Vader, Tarkin, Krennic...), or at the very least ruthlessly amoral (Thrawn), the Empire's rank-and-file soldiers are probably often ordinary, decent people who believe they're fighting to maintain order and justice, and to keep innocent civilians safe from harm. Until or unless they actually witness one of the Empire's atrocities.

Morally good Imperial loyalists are an interesting concept, which is why I so enjoyed the novel Lost Stars, and which is why I'll be kind of sad to see Tora no longer be a stormtrooper. I'll be interested to see what happens to her next, though! You do make us all care.

You know I actually thought Essho was a woman in my first viewing of this pic. XD

And if you want some ideas for ranking plates, I think this maybe of some help if you want to give him a more lore friendly plate ranking.Β

And now I suddenly noticed, that I completely and utterly fell in Love with Tora, and her whole backstory,
and this sweet problematic little ship. (Not to be mistaken for the sweet problematic _shit_ also known as Esshi Lieh)
I am so interested how this will proceed! Mostly cause I'm a sucker for angst and drama, but also
because God, now I need to know whats going to happen!!

This is a well done piece and the expressions and the change of mood is pretty harrowing and spectacular. Seeing Tora go through so much in her head near the end really churns ones stomach. You've always had a way with showcasing and pulling out the emotions in charactera.

Let me know if Kallus lives or whatnot in the show pllllease.

I really hope Tora and Kallus can live happily ever after ;^;
