Your gateway to endless inspiration
When he was a cadet on Kamino, he was not the same reg-loving guy. He broke the rules, snuck food, classic cadet behavior.
*Obviously, Tup was his batchmate. They were the closest in their group.
ANYways, in a training sim gone wrong due to their team going off protocol, his entire batch besides he and Tup got killed. Tup suffered a head wound, which while didn’t cause significant damage then, is what got the ball rolling in his chip decaying. Dogma, on the other hand, only had minor damage.
After this, Dogma followed the regs more closely, but it still wasn’t to the full extent as we saw during the show. He stopped sneaking food, and he broke the rules less, but he was still a fun guy.
One day, Dogma accidentally overheard the Kaminoans talking about the chips. He ran away back to his bunk room, but not before being noticed by the Kaminoans.
Dogma was escorted to the lab, where the Kaminoans demanded to know what he had heard. Dogma, knowing better than to lie to a Kaminoan, told them. After gaining this information, they *reconditioned Dogma, but only of the information that they didn’t want him to know. Once the process was over, they threatened harm to his person if he ever told anyone what had just happened.
After this incident, Dogma became more reserved, and only talked to Tup. This is also when he became a target of bullying, which also contributed to his love for regs as they were the only thing (besides Tup) that never hurt him.
A few days before being shipped out to their battalions, the Kaminoans pulled Dogma to the side. As a final effort to scare Dogma into behaving, they threatened to harm Tup and himself if he ever disobeyed commands. After hours of threats and a deep cut curved around his eye (which Dogma eventually got his memorable tattoo to cover) Dogma promised to never speak of what had just happened.
His first battalion was serving with the 501st, and not even a year into his deployment the Umbara arc happened.
*Reconditioning. In this little au, I imagine reconditioning to be somewhat different than what is normally seen in Star Wars fics. The Kaminoans can select what clones can and cannot remember, and to what extent. Reconditioning is very painful and traumatic, and only works when the clone is awake. The more specific an event removal is, the more pain it causes. In Dogma’s case, they knew that removing his entire encounter with overhearing the Kaminoans would be useless, and cause eventual suspicion, so they just took out the part where Dogma heard what they were discussing.
+Something to note: the more a clone is reconditioned, the less stable their chip becomes. That’s why more clones are decommissioned than reconditioned, as the Kaminoans didn’t want their plans to be revealed. In Dogma’s case, after he was reconditioned, his chip stability decreased. During Umbara, Krell noticed something weird with Dogma, and when he did some force shit and found a link to manipulate Dogma using his chip (not that Krell new that’s what it was) he used this newfound knowledge for his own gain. He now had a clone that would listen to his command, and he could destruct the clones’ trust in one another. Throughout this all, Dogma was unaware of his or Krell’s actions, and only came to when Rex was hesitating to shoot Krell. After he shot Krell, his memories came rolling in, about what he did and what Krell did to him and everything else he witnessed during the Umbara arc.

I hope my humor is as good as I thought it was when I made this
I created a color palette, it's called "I am the metatron" and is inspired in Metatron from Dogma
Feel free to use this palette and give me the credits, please. Thank you! ^^

H-hi. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this or even answer to it but I wanna let your know that your drawings make me really happy. Just seeing all the clones alive and well without order 66 and getting along brings a smile to my face lol. And Dogma? There is not enough of this precious bean on this site and you have blessed us with more content so thank you so much ♥️ Tbh I just wanna see him smile, that’s it. I don t think we have ever seen him doing that in the hole TCW
Oh welp, I admit, Dogma needs a spa day because he’s this close to losing it all the time
It’s surprising to see that so many people enjoy him because personally he’s the leas liked clone on my list ahah :’)) But it’s okay I’m getting attached to a fanon version of him now ahah
sorry to bug you but um. that dogma sketch?? i'm in love he is one of my absolute favorites and there isn't a whole lotta of art of him that isn't sad or angsty, and while i love that too, it makes me really happy to see him drawn more relaxed and - well, happy (: (also you made his tattoo look very real and i'm impressed) anyways! i just love how you drew him is all :D
Eheh there you go, tired boys after a battle
Bro, the way you drew dogma in the 501st vacation gif was just so cute!😍
Hi, hi! :D Currently I’m still struggling with settling with how I draw each clone but here is a recent sketch of Dogma I did :))
