Young Kreia Skin

[EAF97 154]

There should be a mod for a skin called "Young Kreia." According to Wookieepedia, the PFHC06 head from Kotor II was originally for a character named "Arren Kae" which was scrapped. Most fans generally accept that Kreia is indeed Master Arren Kae, who trained Revan and later became Darth Traya. My concept art provided here gives the PFHC06 head  Kreia's hair-style but with the "platinum blonde" color of the original hair and I edited out Kreia's hair-binds. I would suggest that this could be an overwrite of both the model and skin of the PFHC06 head. Would someone be able to make this and if so, how difficult would it be?

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.
