    That is partly true, but also partly misconception. At E3 2004, Obsidian needed to develop a "Demo" for K2 as a means to showing off all the new cool features that Obsidian had added. This Demo was made only available to the X-Box consoles present at E3 to allow visitors to play the game and see the new features, according to Obsidian interviews, the Demo was supposed to be played for 5 minutes but if one took their time with the Demo it was possible for the Demo to last 45 minutes. This Demo never had a "pick your class", "pick your gender", "pick your appearance" and "pick your stat" setup as K2 does today. I believed most likely the player had the option to selecting a Pre-Set character which was the Dark Side Arren Kae or the Light Side Eras Jast, I think this is the case as the Demo shows high evidence that the player travelled through Telos' surface and encountered the Merc Gang outside the compound. The Merc leader in K2 says "Hrmph... the "Jedi." whereas in the Demo he instead says "Hrmph... Arren Kae." or "Hrmph... Eras Jast." which I feel proves my theory that the player was forced to play as either Arren Kae or Eras Jast. Arren Kae, as you've pointed out, uses PFHC06 whereas Eras Jast had PMHH01. Fun fact, if your game breaks it is possible for the Exile to "morph into Arren Kae" gaining what I presume are her original stats from the Demo. I assume Arren Kae and Eras Jast obtained different weapons and items for the sake of showing off the game, Eras Jast appears to have 1 Silver Lightsaber and a Jedi Knight Robe whereas Arren Kae had two Red Lightsabers and a Dark Jedi Knight Robe. Does this mean Kreia/Arren Kae was going to look like PFHC06? Technically not, the Demo was merely made by Obsidian to show off their product to the public. PFHC06 and PMHH01 are both new player heads so Obsidian had to show those off, PMHH01 was a Hispanic head (K1 never had playable Hispanics) so they kept his had Light Side and since PFHC06 was Caucasian (K1 did have playable Caucasians) she became the Dark Side choice. I feel most likely that the name "Arren Kae" was just a cool little name floating around on the chalk board in May 2004 that the Devs just threw it in the Demo because it was cool and later threw the same name into the full game as a cameo as they found the name to be cool. Fun fact: Arren Kae is only mentioned directly by name TWICE in the full K2 so I think my theory of Obsidian "just needing a quick name" and then reusing the Demo character name to be very likely. It would be hypothetically possible to make that work, people in the past have cut PFCH06's bun clean off, merged the Scout Pants and Smuggler Jacket into one model, gave Handmaiden long hair and more. I know this isn't what you asked for, but this mod down below is a pretty good "Young Arren Kae/Kreia" reskin.

    Greetings, fellow Jedi! I am in an attempt to do Darth Revan's voice filter like the one heard on SW:ToR- this one in particular: Republic Shadow of Revan Ending; and I would like to share with you how the progress going- along with this tutorial. The program I am using is FL Studio 12 Producer Edition and I assume that every filters I am using on said attempt is possibly available and/or close-to-similar with every audio-editing program out there. I also attached some screen caps to help clear things up. So, let's start then! You would need two (2) layers of voices to work on to. In my attempt, both voices are un-pitched. The purple layer goes to Mixer channel 1, and then the red layer goes to Mixer Channel 2, like this- I am sure you were all aware about Mixer already; "All audio in FL Studio passes through the Mixer. Unless specifically directed, newly added Channels are routed to the Master Mixer Track" - support. Mixer in FL Studio would looked like this- Now- with the 1st layer, you would want a Multiband Compressor, a Hardcore Modulator and a Stereo Shaper. Theoretically, what you wanted to do with Multiband Compressor is to cut the high and middle frequencies. Hardcore modulating is much effortless, turn the rate level to its fullest until you hear the voice "rattling". Stereo Shaper was only to set the output to Mono [Yes- if there's a "set to mid" mix preset available, choose that!]. Assuming you're done with the 1st layer- goes to the 2nd then. With the 2nd, you would want a Multiband Compressor, a Chorus filter and a Wave Shaper [This one is important]. Theoretically, what you wanted to do with Multiband Compressor is cut the low frequencies and keep some high frequencies as you like [You could say the 2nd layer EQ setup is an anomaly to the 1st layer]. With Chorus filter on, set the speed and intensity level as much as possible [I kept width level to zero]. Goes to the essential part; Wave Shaping. This one is pretty cosmetic, but essential for Darth Revan's voice [imagine Gal Gadot; she's pretty, but without make-up she no Wonder Woman] - and I can't guarantee you a clean and clear instruction here because the plug-in is just a wave form. What you would wanted to do with it is to have the voice to produce some kind of noises; like a clipping sounds [when the level of a sound reach above 5db- that "broken" sound which we were searching for]. Done with both layers, and we are done with everything. No plug-in added to the Master channel there so.. considered it is a wrap then! The very last phase is to exporting the project; either to .WAV, .MP3, .OGG, .FLAC or etc. Your choice! But assuming you want to use it in-game, you would want to export the project either to .WAV or .MP3- mandatorily to .WAV just to be safe. Can't guarantee we have the same result here- as different program could means different result [even using the same one didn't have its warranty]. But hey, who knows your result is better right? And it should be! If you have any questions- just ask, PM me, or anything. I'd be glad to assist! Also, any constructive feedbacks is very much appreciated- as I am still and will always be in learning process too! Good luck with the attempt, may the Force be with you! Attached below is an end-result of this attempt. Keep in mind both the tutorial and/or the result is far from perfect, but self-assured; They are on the right track.
