Ordo Skirata - Tumblr Posts
So that's what they put in there...
I just started reading Republic Commando Order 66 & Ordo Skirata is my absolute favorite. All his scenes are so unintentionally funny. Like the dude intercepts a government spy tailing Besany, roasts him for being a pervert, hacks into his system, decides he's too dangerous to be left alive, shoots him in the cab in front of her, drives her home, offers to cook her favorite meal, realizes she's in shock cause he shot a guy in front her & is like "oh you're afraid of me" I'll get you coffee instead, then decides this is the right time to propose with an insanely valuable piece of jewelry that his sergeant stole from a bank, apologizes that he can't buy her something legit cause the army doesn't pay him & says "good glad that's sorted" when she accepts. Like WTF
RepComm characters learn everything from their training sergeant, holo dramas & books. Which is hilarious.
Ordo, one of the Null ARCs, shoots a government spy that had been following his gf right in front of her. And then he's like 'oh you're upset, let me cook you your favorite meal' and she's like 'no, you just killed a man, I can still smell his singed flesh, I'm not hungry' so he's like 'duh, of course. Let me make us some coffee. Also, what are your thoughts on marriage, here's a priceless ring my sergeant stole when we robbed a bank... sorry I couldn't get you something legit but clones don't get paid"
Also, they met when he was pretending to be another trooper she worked with, but she figures it out and does something that threatens to mess up their covert special ops mission, so he stuns her & they kidnap her & she starts working for them & it sounds insane but they're such a cute couple.
Do you think the clones had to take a “how to be a normal human being in society” class in order to somewhat be able to seem like normal in non military settings or do they just wing it and hope for the best?
One of my favorite Ord'ika facts.
Never forget the time Captain Ordo bullied Boba Fett and gave him a swirly
For Jaing- Mammoth face warrior? Tusks the Durge trainer?
And don't forget his other favorite son 'No longer a man' and his grandson Saber
Ah yes, my favorite fictional family, Knife Revenge and his sons [checks notes] Shadow, Glove, Space Napoleon, Martyred Bestie, and Jaing
He hummed, arms crossed, looking down at the pitiful scene his brother made. Ordo found it funny that Mereel had declared he could easily beat the Alpha's in a fight. Maze sliding into the conversation to take the bet however, had been to both of their surprise.
Bet made, Maze had given them a time and said he'd bring Mereel's opponents with him.
"What do you mean opponents?"
"You said Alphas, plural" Maze grinned at them over his shoulder, all sharp teeth and unhinged glee.
Which led them to where they were currently.
"You could just roll over" Ordo rolled his eyes at the resulting screech and watched Mereel try to get two kitted and tired Alpha ARCs off of him.
One was lounging on his back, using Mereel like a long pillow. They had his brother's arm trapped under their combined weight and- if Ordo didn't know better- was using the added hassle of moving a limp body to further dissuade any escape attempts.
The other Alpha was perched on Mereels legs- perched was a reach, more like their legs were tangled together, Ordo thought- and was picking through every pocket they could wiggle their fingers into.
When cutting a glance to his side, Ordo took in how Maze looked like a satisfied tooka and wondered if this was how the other Captain normally looked when his shiver was on shore leave.
"You lost the bet," Maze's voice almost had a lilt to it, "now after you get done you owe me and my kih'vode some nice drinks." He cackled- cackled! Ordo didn't know how to feel about this side of Maze he was seeing- and set about pulling up his comm to take a holo of the scene.
"I call the bet unfair" Mereel grumbled into the mat and grunted when the alpha on his legs- Stec, that was his name- managed to pry open the pouch Ordo knew held those sour candies that Mereel liked. Maze seemed to chose to ignore Mereel's complaints as a notification buzzed Ordo's comm right as Maze mentioned sending the holo to the 17. That got Mereel to attempt another bid at freedom while cursing at Maze.
Ordo ignored the renewed scuffling to save the holo to his own small stash of photos and make a copy to send to Jaing, knowing that it'd escape Mereel's clutches.
What are your takes on Ordo and Maze? :3
Im glad you asked! >:3c
So im still reading the books so my takes on them will probably shift around a bit but as of right now here is how I see them!!
Ordo is someone im still getting a handle on! But I defo see him as someone who doesn't trust often and isnt fond of others often either. This isnt a bad thing! I kinda get the feel that he does sometimes want to reach out to people but has been around his brothers and kal so much that he never really developed or learned how to if that makes sense? I like portraying his relationship with Maze as one thats him maybe overanalyzing interactions to figure out how certain things effect Maze but also when Maze does do things for him they sometimes dont click right away. Some of my favorite moments so far with Ordo is when he thought Laseema was interested in him and was sad/upset/maybe embarrassed that he didn't notice she liked Atin. My next favorite is just him and Etain being awkward around each other tbh, I like their interactions and I use that awkwardness in my takes with Ordo! I also think that he is a fiercely loyal person when he does open up to people and he strives to be perfect or to constantly make Kal happy/proud and that when he perceives that he hasnt that destroys him.
Maze I kinda made a bit more up for since, at least where i am in the books, we don't get alot about his who vibe? I think he is a really motivated man who prefers to stick to his own moral code/ the rules especially since he is on Coruscant and under alot more scrutiny then say Fordo would be out in the field. I think he (I also think this might be mentioned in a book?) reads alot and enjoys learning about everything that they were never taught on Kamino. He definitely gives off a stricter feeling to his character since he works with Zey but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about his friends. Im still trying to get a grasp on Maze's character also, the Alpha arcs are my favorites so I tend to build their personalities and characters off of each other and this is kinda seen more in my little au of the clones and their relationships.
Overall I really love these two! Im excited to see more of them in Order 66 if anything happens to Maze I WILL cry and Im hoping to get better grasps of their characters! I'll take any flavor of these two nerds and I love reading how other people see them!
