Darth Vitiate is Darth Hawken

[Hawken]

Anyone who remembers my character "Darth Hawken" has to see the similarities. I could never prove it and maybe its just ego but deep down I believe Vitiate is loosely based on Hawken....there I finally said it lol Hawken also preceeded Vitiate by over 7 years. Just sayin lol

You should definitely talk to @Marf then.

For the few who don't know, Vitiate is the Sith Emperor in Star Wars: The Old Republic

Could you plonk a spoiler tag on this?

I haven't played all of SWTOR ;)

Who the hell is Darth Hawken?

@Gaiaverse The dude's character.

I feel him, something similar has happened to me before. I used to watch a show on Animal Planet called The Most Extreme as a little kid, and I was discussing an idea for an episode of it with a friend of mine (essentially it was a documentary fanfiction. I was a very strange child). A few weeks after, an episode was produced with the exact same bloody name and concept. I couldn't help feeling like somebody overheard it and used it lol.

Maybe you could dig up a profile link? @Hawken

That's cool man, but none of us have heard of him, and I sincerely doubt the writers of TOR have either. I'm a fan of Vitiate and my character Vereshin, was inspired by him.

I love me some planet-eating Force gods.

Vereshin is gonna eat Alderaan, isn't he?

Yes, the laser that shoots out of the Death Star is actually Vereshin throwing a tantrum. He is also Starkiller Base, as he is similar to Galactus, but with the eating of suns instead of planets.

Yeah, the idea of Vitiate was totes stolen from an OC with a two paragraph bio.



..xD

I'm sorry...what's the point of this post, other than just to claim that you were plagiarized even though stuff like this happens all the time, simply because the two characters are very moderately similar?

Is this, like, for humour, or...what?

Because I could totally claim people have stolen my character ideas before. Same as other people can claim I've stolen theirs. People have similar ideas sometimes. It happens.

Vereshin is gonna eat Alderaan, isn't he?

Nah, single characters can't destroy planets this TL.

Vi's face when Brandon said I couldn't pull a Nathema -

"Darth Hawken."
"Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time," gazes into the distance, remembering....


No, but seriously it's been 10 years. I'd there's only 2-3 people who actively post here who remember Hawken and not for his RP character.
