History Characters / StarWarsTheOldRepublicRepublicClassJediConsular

* SuddenlySexuality: The base game has no indications that she's anything other than heterosexual, but she's shown to be bi when she returns in Jedi Under Siege. {{Justified}} as she doesn't interact with many other cahracters besides her father and the Consular, and if the Consular is female then Nadia explains that she didn't believe they'd see her as anything but JustFriends, which is very TruthInTelevision for a lot of real-life queer women.

** Or it could be ''because'' Consular is swinging Force Powers right in front of him. All these fascinating abilities and phenomena can't be subjected the scientific analysis, and the only people who know anything about what the Force is, how to use it, or what potential it has are a bunch of IceCreamKoan spouting mystics or DrunkOnTheDarkSide Sith who won't let a {{Muggle}} like him within three miles of it with his scanners! [[SourGrapes A whole frontier of science right in front of him that he'll never get a chance to study because he wasn't (un)lucky enough to be born with an overdeveloped midichlorian count.]]

* BiTheWay: A female Consular can also begin a romance with her in the Jedi Under Siege expansion.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Doesn't like the Consular tapping into their Jedi powers, wisdom, or reputation, unless they use it to help him gain more luxuries like arranging a meeting with the Jedi Council for a "friend" in exchange for a delivery of spiced wine, or using their good name as a Jedi Master to essentially write "[=IOU=]'s" so he can get parts for his invention without paying his bills.
** He flirts incessantly with the female Consular, yet it never progesses beyond an OptionalSexualEncounter because [[spoiler:Holiday became jealous]]. However, he still disapproves if the female Consular flirts with Felix in front of him, even though [[spoiler:he had his chance and chose Holiday over the female Consular.]]

** Felix and Tharan both show interest in the female Consular, but while Tharan is a BrilliantButLazy ManOfWealthAndTaste, Felix is a humble soldier. And while Tharan holds Jedi mysticism in contempt and is in love with Holiday, Felix deeply respects the Jedi (even if he doesn't understand it), and a

* SuddenlySexuality: The base game has no indications that she's anything other than heterosexual, but she's shown to be bi when she returns in Jedi Under Siege.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Non-lethal version. The Consular meets her on Tython, has to deal with a new threat rather than train with her as planned, and then... she falls tragically ill. Several characters lampshade this. [[spoiler:Even after she's cured you've grown beyond needing her guidance, and you can possibly indirectly kill her at the end of Chapter 1.]]

* SecretIdentity: He's [[spoiler: the First Son of the Emperor although he isn't aware of it.]]
* SplitPersonalityTakeover
* TheMentor
* TheMole

* MoreThanMindControl: Discussed. [[spoiler:Terrak Morrhage used Vivicar's rage at being LeftForDead by the other Jedi Masters to fuel his own twisted desire to infect and destroy the Jedi Order from within. If redeemed, Parkanas acknowledges this, but also admits that after ''years'' he's tired of stewing in his anger and just wants to live in peace now.]]

* MeaningfulName: Felix is Latin for "happy/joyful." [[spoiler:Becomes an IronicName in Patch 5.8, where years of being horrifically experimented on by the same MadScientist that made ''Vaylin'' shattered his cheerful outlook.]]

* UnluckilyLucky: His luck is typically a mixed blessing, to say the least.
** On the one hand, he was captured by Imperials but escaped. On the other hand, [[spoiler:they experimented on him placed a Sith holocron in his head.]] On the other-other hand, [[spoiler:the process didn't shatter his mind like it did to his squadmate Milo]]. On the other-other-other hand, he has LimitedAdvancementOpportunities because of it, so what can you do?
** In the expansions, it's revealed [[spoiler:he set out to find the Consular but was captured by the same MadScientist that created Vaylin. When the scientist learned of the Sith holocron in Felix's head, he decided not to kill him outright, but instead performed horrific experiments on him trying to extract the holocron information for over five years. This resulted in a massive BreakTheCutie profess for Felix. At least he's alive...?]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: Downplayed. The Jedi Shadow specialization has a lot of the same stealth and assassination-based abilities as the Sith Inquisitor's Assassin specialization, but the Consular is still fighting for a good cause. (Doubly so if Light Side.)

* MindOverMatter: The Jedi Sage uses the Force to [[DishingOutDirt dish out dirt]] in combat more than any other Force-user class, except the Sith Sorcerer (who uses lightning instead).

* {{Hypocrite}}: Doesn't like the Consular tapping into their Jedi powers, wisdom, or reputation, unless they use it to help him gain more luxuries. (Like arranging a meeting with the Jedi Council for a "friend" in exchange for a delivery of spiced wine, or using their good name as a Jedi Master to essentially write "[=IOU=]'s" so he can get parts for his invention without paying his bills.)

* RomanticRunnerUp: {{Downplayed}} with a female Consular. He takes a minor affection loss if you pick romantic dialogue options with Felix while he's in the party. [[spoiler: Even though Tharan is an OptionalSexualEncounter, and not a full-blown romance arc, he still seems to think of Lady Consular as "TheOneThatGotAway."]]

* BadassCape

* MindOverMatter

* {{Foil}}/ShadowArchetype : To Ashara Zavros. Nadia is a passionate and emotional girl learning to temper her passions and focus her powers as a Jedi. Ashara has been stuck among ultra-conservative Jedi all her life and her arc is embracing and accepting her passions and emotions. Both of them hero-worship their masters, and are romantically interested if the Consular/Inquisitor is male. [[NotSoDifferent One suspects the two of them might actually get along very well if they weren't on opposite sides.]]
** It's even more noticeable when one compares their reactions to losing their lover, if he became the Outlander in ''Fallen Empire''. [[spoiler:Nadia, who was originally alone save for her father, is now supported by a group of friends and allies, and dedicates herself to finding and rescuing the Consular. Ashara, who originally had friends and ties to the Jedi Order, is now alone in the galaxy after losing the Inquisitor, and dedicates herself to avenging him.]]

* SoProudOfYou: To her father, initially. Later she desperately seeks the Consular's constant approval.
* SpoiledSweet: It's obvious Nadia's dad gave her as many advantages as he could and would literally move galactic politics for her. Nadia is very aware of it, and very grateful for it. Helping out the less fortunate and generally being the good guy gains a ''lot'' of approval from her.
* TeacherStudentRomance: Given the events that occur before she becomes your Padawan, this relationship can be very unsettling. [[spoiler:She hero worships the Consular for saving her life, loses her father and substitutes him as her major male role model, absolutely trusts and defers to his greater experience, feels eternally indebted for granting a life where she isn't persecuted for being different, had an attraction for him at first sight...]] the list just goes on and on.
** However, unusually for examples of this trope, Nadia is neither a child nor a teenager. She is old enough to be able to [[spoiler: replace her father as senator in the Rift Alliance after her father is killed]].
** Helping mitigate the unsettling factor somewhat, the male Consular seems to be aware they're moving the relationship too fast, and suggests slowing it down, [[spoiler:especially when she first [[LetsWaitAWhile propositions him]].]]
* TheGlomp: [[spoiler:Not quite, but her reaction if a male Jedi Consular gives her a marriage proposal comes very close to being this, and it's combined with a kiss.]]
* TheOphelia: Her childhood.

** [[spoiler:The Consular can stop her by saying her father wouldn't want it, or by saying they would lose the Nadia they've come to know, but it incurs a mild affection loss, and she refuses to heal the man of his injuries, letting him die.]]

* OneSteveLimit: A variation; When encountered in Onslaught characters will get his name confused with Theron's due to them being pronounced almost identically. Tharan himself states that the latter probably spells his name "The stupid way".

* [[Spoiler: VillainRespect: Right before the final battle they say that "You would have been unstoppable as one of us.]]

* [[Spoiler:WorthyOpponent: Considers you one.]]

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:He's the mysterious Parkanas who was possessed and brainwashed by the spirit of Kerrak Morrhage after he was LeftForDead by the other Jedi Masters.]]

!!Sith Empire

[[folder:Vivicar]]
!!Lord Vivicar / [[spoiler: Parkanas Tark]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/parkanas_tark.png]]

The BigBad of Chapter 1, he's [[spoiler:the mysterious Sith infecting Yuon and other Jedi Masters with the mysterious Dark Side illness. He is actually the mysterious Parkanas the others raved about, who is in turn possessed by the malevolent spirit of Terrak Morrhage.]]

* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: Has used explosives to kill civilian collaborators, and his only regrets are that his political opponents can use it against him.

* BloodKnight

* LizardFolk

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: He loses his Score when he's captured on Tython, and one of his companion quests involves restoring it by traveling to Tatooine to pay homage to his dead father's remains.]]

* EyeScream: A nasty injury to his face has left him blind in his right eye.

* ItsPersonal: After Nalen Raloch captures him, costing him a lifetime's Jagannath points, tortures him and imitates the form of Yuon Par to get some coordinates from him, Qyzen decides to pursue and kill him.

* ShipperOnDeck: [[spoiler:On completion of his mid-life ritual, he offers the Consular a Wookie pelt to give as an engagement gift for their LoveInterest, [[DeliberateValuesDissonance as it is considered the ultimate courting gift in Trandoshan culture]].]]

* WhatTheHellHero: Qyzen Fess does a lot of heroic things and often jumps at the chance to stand up for those who can't defend themselves. He also likes to ''hunt and kill Wookiees''. The game lets you call him on this, which results in a minor affection loss and [[DeliberateValuesDissonance him wondering why you're making such a big deal about it]], because Wookiees are prey, after all. In his companion quests, he's the one delivering this trope to other people. [[spoiler: First to Lek Svaal for relying on tricks to kill prey instead of actually hunting them, and then to Veneb for selling out his rivals for the Clan Speaker position to the Wookiees.]]

{{Beat}}

** The Achievement you get when you max out affection with him is even ''called'' "The Cheerful Soldier"
** MeaningfulName: "Felix" is Latin for "happy/joyful."

* InterspeciesRomance: Since Sarkhai is not a playable species (yet), a romance between her and a male Consular would result in this trope regardless of what species the Consular is.
* LetsWaitAwhile: [[spoiler:The Consular refuses Nadia's first sexual advance in the romance arc, citing that it's too soon after her father's death, and that she's doing it for "comfort sex" than love. Nadia's comment that she fears the Consular could die at any moment only reinforces this feeling.]]

Nadia Grell is a Sarkhai, a species new to the Galactic Republic and to the galaxy in general. The daughter of a prominent Sarhkai politician, Nadia was brought to the Jedi Order to train her mysterious powers as the first known Sarkhai Jedi, and is assigned to the Jedi Consular as their Padawan. Potential love interest for male Consulars. Mechanically, she's the class's melee damage companion. .

** If Dark Side, they also frequently bend or even break Jedi rules for what they perceive to be a {{necessary evil}}, much like Qui-Gon. Some of the crueler options also evoke [[VideoGame\KnightsOftheOldRepublicIITheSithLords Kreia]] by manipulating events and people to benefit their agenda at the expense of said people.
