What am I doing in SWTOR?

I've kind of settled on who I'm playing and who's waiting. I may ditch the idea to keep most of my characters at more or less the same level and planet, and instead focus on fewer characters at a time. I just finished the story with Hutran Thanatos, my Mirialan Operative class Imperial Agent story. He's max level, and finished with the main story, although I'm considering if I want to do Ilum with him, and maybe even move on towards Makeb before he moves into a more retired retirement. I hadn't thought to focus on Taul Kajak (Mirialan Sentinel class Jedi Knight story) after that, but that does seem to be the way the wind is blowing. I did Balmorra with him recently, including the Bonus series. He's at over level 65, and heading towards almost 70 after I do the back to back Revan flashpoints, which is what's next. 

After that, for whatever reason, I've been playing around a bit with Embric Stane (finished Dromund Kaas, put him on his ship) (Bounty hunter story, Mercenary class). And I've played around a bit with Mirabeau Tane (Cyborg Gunslinger class Trooper story.) I haven't given too much thought to advancing any of the others yet, but it's a bit curious, because Embric and Taul are ones that I long ago "wrote off" along with Hutran, because I messed up their recording. I'm not actually going to bother recording anyone anymore, except maybe to get footage from cutscenes for youtube videos where I'm talking over them, or talking about the outfits, etc. but they're still the ones that I kind of "wrote off" rather than worried about. Which is maybe why I've found them easier to play, because it doesn't stress me out at all. 

I don't know why, but my character limit is 26 instead of 24. I actually have 24 characters, but in spite of the fact that I have too many characters that I'm not even very interested in right now, I kind of want to make two more. I don't know what story I want to play with them, though, so I probably won't be in too much of a hurry either way.

I also finally took an hour or so and grinded with Phillippion so he wasn't the lame original character who was still sitting at level 79. All of my OGs are now maxed out in level, and have at least basic Decurion gear.

Anyway, just a quick progress report post. I'm excited about the game again, I'm excited about the graphic design of creating custom-looking characters, and I'm just in a good mood about SWTOR in general right now.

Here's a few "random" shots I've taken of a few of my characters. Many of these outfits have already been ditched or revised since I took these shots, but they're still fun to look at and hey; why waste a useful image, right?

Elemer Kell's jungle camo on Taris.

Meditating in the rakghoul tunnels of Taris.

Johhn chilling in a nightclub while Elara is no doubt nagging him about folding the laundry or something.

I really like this shot of Codon Veile. This is a real keeper.

An earlier draft of Johhn's droid outfit. I updated the gloves, boots and head since.

The strap is clipping, but this is Taul Kajak working out on the gym in his ship, or something. When I first got this "relaxed jumpsuit" I liked to wear it all over the place with a lot of characters, just because it looked silly to go talk to Jedi Masters or Senators or whatever while not even freakin' wearing a shirt, but I'm kind of over it now. It does have an absolute great pair of boots with it, though, that I could use in a lot of other outfit builds.

Hmm... dead weights, or the machine? What do I want to work out today?
