I search for these often. So it might be helpful to have them in a single document. I don’t know if it is stated somewhere, but I myself interpret the ages as those the companions have when you first meet them.
These are the ages as stated by the SWTOR Encyclopedia:
Trooper Aric Jorgan 30 Elara Dorne 26 Tanno Vik 34 (enlistment records suspected of falsification) Yuun 28 M1-4X -
Jedi Knight Fideltin Rusk 40 Lord Scourge 300+ Kira Carsen 20 Doc 28 T7-01 200+ years in service
Jedi Consular Felix Iresso 31 Nadia Grell 22 Zenith 36 Tharan Cedrax 29 Qyzen Fess unknown (claims to be middle-aged)
Imperial Agent Vector Hyllus 26 Scorpio age of programming unknown, current chassis < 5 Raina Temple 24 Kaliyo Djannis 29 (unconfirmed) Eckard Lokin 65 (unconfirmed)
Sith Warrior Pierce 29 Jaesa Willsaam 21 Broonmark unknown Malavai Quinn 37 Vette 21
Sith Inquisitor Khem Val 2000+ Andronikos Revel 35 (unconfirmed) Ashara Zavros 20 Talos Drellik 27 Xalek 24
Smuggler Akaavi Spar 28 Bowdaar 197 Corso Riggs 22 Risha 21 Languss “Guss” Tuno 33
Bounty Hunter Blizz indeterminate Skadge 37 Gault Rennow 54 Torian Cadera 18 Mako 19

Fanart of my brother’s Path of the Giant Barbarian, Hawthorn. Who has some truly terrific muscles.
Yeah this, I feel like a lot the of the Jedi are boring and suffocatingly dogmatic complains come from not really understanding this idea.
I think the most frustrating/disheartening misconception I often see about Star Wars, and the Jedi specifically, is the misguided notion that love and attachment are one and the same. Which in turn leads to fundamental misunderstandings of who the Jedi are and what their teachings on non-attachment mean. While you absolutely can be attached to those you love, you do not need attachment to have love for someone. That's as true in Star Wars as it is in real life. The reason that Jedi teach non-attachment is because attachment leads to suffering, and suffering is a path to the Dark Side. This, like many other facets of Jedi philosophy, takes inspiration from Buddhism. Buddhism teaches non-attachment for the same reason: to mitigate or eliminate suffering, which is caused by greed, delusion, and/or aversion. This does not mean that the Jedi are forbidden from loving others. They are forbidden from developing attachments to others, which is why the Order, by the time of the Clone Wars, has outright banned romantic relationships. It's hard to be in a romantic relationship without attachment. But Jedi can love, and do. We see beautiful friendships throughout Star Wars. Parental-like relationships between Master and Padawan. Sibling-like relationships between Master and Padawan. Outside of the Clone Wars era, especially in the High Republic, we often see the Jedi in acts of loving service. Obviously, what that looks like varies from individual to individual, but that loving compassion for all living things is absolutely instrumental to being a Jedi.
The mushroom flavor for the spell casting is *chef’s kiss*
My Spore druid got a new look! and some visual for the spells he normally use.
Note: Since my old masterlist is getting notes again (and I'm hosting @tbb-appreciation-week this year), I thought it's a good time to release a new version with a lot more resources. If any of you know another site or thing that it's missing from the list, let me know and I'll include it!! [Altho, I'm getting this close 🤏 to the hyperlinks limit on this thing 😆]
Note 2: To avoid tagging the 3 people from whom I got multiple resources repeatedly, I've placed 1-3 asterisks between square brackets after the links, depending on the OP. I give the respective credit to them in a legend at the end of the post.

ProWritingAid: [RECOMMENDED] One of the most thorough online proofreader I've ever used. Although when using a free account gives extremely thorough feedback, with +20 different in-depth reports, for only the first 500 words. However, you can earn a premium account license (for a year or for life) if you get 10 or 20 new users signing up for free; (if you wouldn't mind doing so using the link above and help me earn mine, please). The settings allow you to check your writing according to your needs, from general to formal to creative. It has a bonus that you can check depending on the genre you're writing. For example, in creative, you can choose romance or sci-fiction (there are 14 sub-genre in total). And just like google docs, you can share a document, and people can view, comment or edit it too.
LanguageTool: [RECOMMENDED] Another excellent proofreader. It also has a word limit in free accounts, but if you use the add-on for Google Docs, it counts each page as a new document, so hitting the word limit is nearly impossible. It helps you to rewrite a sentence (3 a day), even if it doesn't raise any flags; it's very useful for when your sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn't feel quite right.
Grammarly, Hemingway Editor: No so great, but they do the basic job.
Legend
[*] Shared by @fox-trot [**] Shared by @gffa [***] Shared by @cacodaemonia.
He is bit tougher to figure out for me. Grit and willingness act to are what he inadvertently teaches Elvira. Zenith has Mad Eye Moody’s mindset of constant vigilance.
This trait in particular is necessary for Elvira to learn from because of her penchant for being a being distant. To play the roles of diplomat, consular, duelist, and Barsen’thor she has be alert! Through Zenith she sees what it looks like actually do it.
What Elvira desperately want to provide Zenith with is a more developed vision. She wants to show Zenith what peace is. Because Zenith literally has no conceptualization of what peace even is. She would love for Zenith to reach a point where he see a future that involves more than fighting the empire and standing up for Belmorra. Elvira does want forcibly change him being a fighter but does what him to fighter and… whatever he chooses to be like his potential interest in politics.
You know writing this out allowed me to see why I was struggling to figure out Zenith dynamics. I was trying feel out how he’d interact with other crew member domestically and I realized Zenith doesn’t know how to be domestic! Cause of his upbringing. I guess the dynamic would be being awkward as he learns how live outside of being a soldier.
These are my personal headcanons for the names of the protagonists and some of the rivals of the Pokémon games.
Kanto:
Red Akiyama
Blue Oak/Green Oak (canon)
Leaf Aoki
Johto:
Ethan Hibiki
Lyra Koto
Kristine "Kris" Mariner
Silver Rosso
Hoenn:
May Hayashi
Brendan Birch (I HC him as the rival character, meaning he's the professor's kid.)
Wally Tsuru
Sinnoh:
Dawn Yugata
Lucas Kagayaki
Barry Palmer (I HC that his dad Palmer goes by his last name.)
Unova:
Hilda and Hilbert Grayson
Cheren Kuroki-Petrov
Bianca Caro
Rosalind (Rosa) Whittaker
Nathanial "Nate" Blake
Kalos
Serena Fontaine
Calem Belmont
Alola
Elio Taiyo
Selene Yoru
Notes (mostly based on headcanons):
I HC Hilda and Hilbert to be twins, so they have the same surname.
Cheren is part Sinnohan (so the Pokemon world's equivalent of part-Japanese) and part "whatever the Pokemon equivalent of Bulgarian is."
Ethan and Lyra's surnames in my headcanons come from their canon names in Japanese (Hibiki and Kotone.)
Elio and Selene are originally from the Kanto region before moving to Alola. Their surnames mean "sun" and "night" respectively.
Nate's surname comes from the English name of his manga counterpart.
