Smuggler's Reunion with romanced Akaavi - SWTOR Patch 5.9 

Yea, she looks so much better with hair! I also like her face tatts here on this customization, they bring out her eyes.

LOL I know exactly what you mean. Akaavi is a pretty exceptional romance!

Akaavi is just THAT amazing lol

Hey give him credit! He looked cute too!

I always enjoyed the Akaavi romance so much.

Vette, Kira, Jaesa (Light Side being my personal favorite), and Akaavi = All the BEST romances.

Absolutely right!

Yea she is. I love her surprised voice when he impressed her with the Mandalorian saying for "I love you". Akaavi: "You learned!" ❤

Thanks much! Gaibriel's story is a work in progress of course. But he's so worth it lol.

Her romance interactions were actually adorable. But yes you do actually have to wade past that big wall she has up, first. Of course you do! Akaavi is right in the middle of intensely grieving when you meet her - she's lost everyone of her clan. And through betrayal no less. Offering her a new sense of belonging, a new family if you will is on the one hand very natural and tempting. On the other hand she had to be utterly terrified too. Of being let down all over again, of losing this new guy, new quirky family all over again. It's just so incredibly amazing that she eventually gives the smuggler a smile, let alone the sweet romance she eventually offers.

Yes! This is Gaibriel! I guess that completely ruins the surprise in this regard though, since I'm still writing Gaib's story and here he is romancing Akaavi lol. Thanks so much for enjoying their stories so much!

@@phyreblade Well, if I remember correctly he praises her beasts to Kas And something about Mandalorians loving him without him having to join them Makes you wonder, about a man who marries a woman that's so much like his sister 😘😋 But I think she's a good counter-part to him Torian an Kas are so much alike in so many things A serious-headed person like Akaavi is good for Somone so utterly un-serious like Gaib

@@nayriacadera6048 They're more an opposites-attract romance than anything like Torian and Kastiel. But Akaavi is most definitely Gaib's "everything" all the same. He loves her a lot.

@@phyreblade yeah, but I think there's a strength in that, too To accept someone so very different from you so completely You could think that they would be at each other's throat all the time But they aren't And somehow that makes them more dangerous as a team, too Gaib is very much unpredictable in a fight on his own But with Akaavi nearby and her influence on him, her own way to think I doubt even Khy could predict how they would handle a challenge Speaking of differences I'm reading 'forging a destiny' again and just am at Tatooine and that Oasis with the Force - presence And suddenly I had to imagine that that would be pretty much like meeting Camiel and had to laugh With someone with the same face, strong in the light side I so so so wish I could be there for the first meeting of those two And to see the look on the face of Quinn when he realizes that one of his sister-in-laws is a Jedi xD

@@nayriacadera6048 Honestly, Quinn has a greater issue with the twins being so pro-Republic than Lusiel ever will actually. The siblings don't worry overmuch when it comes to politics, which is better explained during Gaib's and Khyriel's stories. As for Gaib and Akaavi, they're drawn together by a shared experience with loss and a sense of abandonment. Gaib "gets" her, and he offers her a renewed belonging that she counts on to help her move on. But yea, Gaib's playfulness is off-putting for her. At first. It doesn't take her long to figure out there's more to him than the clownish surface he shows people.

It's the #4 customization. It can be purchased from the customization vendor on Belsavis, so I usually head there straight-off after Akaavi joins my crew. I head-canon she cut her hair and painted her face during the hunt on Balmorra lol.

To each their own. But Lana belongs to my Nox, shrug.

@@phyreblade any of the others should have suspected that I was the Alliance Commander.

Her romance is one of the best ones in the game, simply by how long it took her to even catch on to his flirting. Or to acknowledge he was truly flirting, even. I love Akaavi completely.

@@phyreblade so true she so sweet when she opens up I think the fact that shes the biggest badass female in the game makes it even better when you get to see her softer side my girlfriend and I take turns playing bc we want to finish all the stories and shes the one who chooses akavi when we were playing the smuggler I'm glad she did fuck risha in my opinion she's not bad but kinda annoying to me

Real life has been kicking my tail. And the more recent story has required I revamp some of my own stories. I've been fleshing out Akaavi's personal story, so hopefully I can make sense of her 'reasons' in my own head-canon. Cheers!

Sorry to hear about that, can't say life hasn't been too kind on my end either. But good to hear about Akaavi though, she's personally my favorite romance for SWTOR, one of main reasons why I did Smuggler class.

She did reunite with Mako who was friends with Mando’s. Close enough

The chest comes from the Sith Cultist set but the legs are Horizon Guard's armor rather. He was meeting his Mando wife, so it was important he dress for the occasion lol.

phyreblade Hehe True enough, especially how long it’s been, sounds like him wanting look good XD

My own game "flagged" the romances appropriately. So Risha acted friendly ONLY and Akaavi asked about LOVE. (And yes, Gaib had a brief, brief triangle with both of them during original story)

I dont THINK so …

No, the actor just got older

Dathormirian are one hybrid species resulting from unions between human females and male Zabrak. Dathomirian females looked more like Rattataki than Zabrak, while their male counterparts looked more Zabrak.

phyreblade the only red zabraks are in dathomir they are not mentioned anywhere else

I havent seen lore that said that ONLY Dathomirian males had red skin, however. Zabraks are said to have skin colors that run from white all the way to pure black. But it would be an interesting twist, if that were so, I guess. In the meantime, I think Akaavi is awesome.

The Dathomiri are offshoot tribes of the Iridonian Zabrak and Rattataki. Obi-Wan even mentions this in the Clone Wars episode that introduced the Nightbrothers.
