4 and 8!

4) In developing their backstory, what elements of the world they live in played the most influential parts? 

{ gods, i have to say him being an altmer. a lot of people know i hate altmer. when i made sin in skyrim, i had randomized race and when i saw i got altmer, i groaned but decided to make the best of it. but upon playing him… i remembered subverted tropes are my favorite thing to play. so i subverted every altmeri trope i could with sin. somehow, i still managed to make an influential altmer, and. i’m not sure how.

maybe thats what made him feel so real. he sticks out like a sore thumb, but still draws upon an established narrative for his race.

8) What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story? 

the childhood. i didnt have it nearly as bad as sin, but it was easy to write a story i could embellish while having experience. )

fears: the dark, dying, being alone!

Give my muse three fears you think they have, and they will order them from what scares them the least to what scares them the most.

@jeweledmaiden

❝ I fear dying more than anything. I do not wish to experience… my lord’s domain. Being alone, truly alone, would be a close second.. Admittedly, I do not enjoy being completely solitary. I value my alone time, but cherish the company of another. ❞

❝ The dark is not frightening at all to me. In fact, I find it very comforting. Though I must admit, it made me rather uneasy as a lad. ❞

Questions About Creating Your OCs

Imma pick Luceras.

2. Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind? 

Luceras is based on the existence of morphoid daedra in Battlespire, and the fact that several daedra seem to be able to serve other Principalities while still following their basic natures. A morphoid is associated with Hircine and Mehrunes Dagon, so I gave Luceras ambition and hunt, making it fully possible for them to take knowledge as part of this. Luceras’ look is based partly on Hermaeus Mora, since they’ve lived in his realm for so long. The ears aren’t exactly the way morphoid ears look, as far as I can recall, but is based a little on Hircine having a deer head sometimes. Basically, Luceras is partly based on fauns in their appearance. I’ve played with the idea of them being able to have four arms, since I make them more capable of free transformation than most other lesser daedra seem able to do, due to them being a morphoid. 

14. If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be? 

Well, in visuals, it would need to be the sharp angles and animal features. When it comes to personality, it’d say a curiosity with everything verging on dangerous to others at times and a somewhat childlike demeanor when reborn which becomes a more distinguished wisdom as time goes on. They know a lot and can be very wise, but all that knowledge is a lot to process even for daedra. Luceras always says there are many truths at any given time and one cannot possibly know them all. You know, unless they want to end up like Jyggalag.

what is syldra's temperament like? how long has she been a huntress? what is her relationship with her family like?

{ This is an awesome ask; thank you SO much. This will probably help me a lot too, as I continue to mold her character. More’d cuz of lengthhhh.

What is Syldra’s temperament like?

{ When I first created Syldra, I wanted her to be a sort of this man-eating, fiery woman with a loud, biting temper. I wanted her to justify everything she did based off of the one, most devastating event in her life, and I’ve kind of realized that she should be deeper than that…

…and that’s about as far as I’ve gotten. I still want her to have some vitriol and bitterness without being too overt about the way she feels towards human men. When thinking of other characters in entertainment, I’d like to model her after ones like Black Widow from Marvel, Lagertha from Vikings, Petra Venj from Destiny, and Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn. 

Short answer: it’s in the works. Idk exactly how to get there, but I want her to be a character still with a temper but have more depth and reasoning behind her actions.

How long has she been a huntress?

{ Syldra was trained by her mother early on how to hunt with a bow. As she grew older, other people in her clan took over some of her instruction. As her magical ability emerged as well, she spent equal time in learning enchanting and archery. Essentially, she’d been training with her clan how to hunt, prepare kills, learn enchanting, and some magic spells for about 5 years after her father left when she was around 14. When she was 20, she left Valenwood to track down her father. She is now 25, so for about 11 years?

What is her relationship with her family like?

{ Syldra cares for her family more than anything else. She had an older brother, Faolyn, who was murdered by their father. She loved Faolyn dearly, as he would always try to protect the rest of the family from her father’s outbursts.

He younger sister, Sylenna, is almost the pitting image of Syldra, except for the darker hair inherited from their father. Syldra took on much the same role that Faolyn did after their father had left. She took care of her a lot of the time to give her mother space and time to grieve. 

Her mother and her are...not quite on speaking terms. Though Saelswe does wish to see justice done, she still has some love left in her heart for him. It hurts her and Syldra doesn’t understand how her mother could still feel that way. Saelswe hates that there will be more death and blood-shed between family members. 

Syldra sends letters occasionally to Sylenna, though has asked her to keep the letters a secret from their mother for now. Sylenna understands how both of her family members feel, but doesn’t remember the event quite as well as either Syldra or their mother so doesn’t have quite as passionate emotions tied to it. She does wish for her sister to come home quickly, however.

mehrunes and nocturnal!

Mehrunes Dagon: Ulfric or Tulius?

Tulius may look like he is balding and collects stamps in his free time or something, but you know the Empire is shit in Skyrim but I still side with them over the Stormcloaks. So Tulius. 

Nocturnal: The most unexpected thing I discovered in Tamriel

I can’t even remember all the weird shit, but ever since I started playing ESO I discovered a lot of crap such as:

Wood elves are cannibals. They fast before fights so they can eat after...okay...

Vivec’s whole “I will plow your farm with my ass out” thing.

Actually Viviec’s entire literature.

The Dunmer eat eggs. Like at large. 

All that weird alien/4th dimensional chess/CHIM shit like listen I came from Skyrim which was some vikings eating bread leave me alone.

Argonians come from trees. Or something?

Another Day, Another Septim [Millie, Trond]

There were good days in the guard, and there were bad days. Good days were when the people of Skyrim decided they had better things to do than steal anything which wasn’t nailed down in Arcadia’s Cauldron and send the guards on a wild goose chase for one sprig of lavender, when no dragon attacks were reported just outside the city gates, and when people avoided turning up mysteriously dead in alleyways. Bad days were when all of this did happen and yet not a single soul had the courtesy to steal a sweet roll, which could be confiscated and saved for later.

Trond had yet to decide what type of day this was, as he stomped along the familiar route from the barracks to the market. He wasn’t on night duty. That was good. On the other hand, his daughter had kept him up all night anyway with her crying. That was bad. The market, when he got there, was quiet -- good -- but this was probably because somebody, somewhere, was plotting something. They usually were.

Casting the occasional obligatory Suspicious Glance at the citizens milling around the stalls, Trond settled himself into his favourite position, leaning against the post outside Belethor’s store. It was a shaded spot, the post worn comfortably where hundreds of guards had leaned against it, as far away from the stink of Anoriath’s meat stall as possible. Perhaps, if nobody felt the need to start being suspicious, Trond might get away with a nap. He adjusted the visor of his helmet. That would definitely make this a good day.

@jeweledmaiden sent “Pain is weakness leaving the body” from Vigdis (Always Accepting) 21.  losing part/all of their memory —————————————-

Asta slowly woke up, she wasn’t sure where she was. Brown eyes look at the ceiling , it does not look familiar. Sitting up carefully, as the movement caused her head to start pounding, she sees a woman beside her. Confusion filled her face as she tries to remember who it was. “D.. Do I know you?”

15, 23, and E!

15) How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?

{ sin.. doesnt really rehearse things in his mind, but he does carefully formulate his words. he will more likely backtrack his thoughts if they arent proper for the conversation or his dialect, but he doesnt pre-plan his conversations.

23) How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)? 

he becomes quiet and, he wont admit it, but resentful. he’ll try to remove himself from whatever he’s envious of in order to avoid thoughts he believe are negative--even if it’s telling him he needs/deserves something.

E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?

oh absolutely. i love sin, he’s an adorable squish that just needs some love.

i hope he would, and i certainly would try for him to, but he’s so skiddish he might be scared of me xD i’m a little outgoing these days. )

does haleth ever feel the need to escape skyrim for good, especially after visiting family in morrowind? how does haleth react to being dragonborn? does she ever feel as if being dragonborn was a mistake?

Haleth has actually never been to Morrowind, even to visit family, though it is one of the things she wants to do most. Whenever she saw family— namely, her maternal grandparents, Adurla and Eldras— they would always come to Skyrim. Haleth’s mother was, of course, a single parent, and her job assisting Morthal’s alchemist rarely allowed enough time for a pilgrimage to the Shrine of Azura in Winterhold, much less enough time for a vacation to Blacklight. Sometimes she wants to go somewhere else, but isn’t quite sure where that ‘somewhere’ is; after all, Skyrim is the only place she’s ever known. 

-------

As far as her Dragonborn identity, she takes to it as well as an already struggling student could; that is to say, she panicked and ran back to the College of Winterhold, in the exact opposite direction of the weird talking mountain that shouted when she absorbed a dragon’s soul. Unlike the ‘in-game’ discovery of the Dragonborn, Haleth found out about her soul while returning to the College from Morthal, near the Shrine of Azura, and was only able to kill the dragon with the aid of visiting Redoran guards. She only went to High Hrothgar after speaking to Arch-Mage Savos Aren and Mirabelle Ervine, who encouraged her to go.

She often feels that Akatosh made a mistake when choosing her to be Dragonborn: she has never had any training as a warrior, though her grandfather often let her try to use his shortsword (under close supervision, of course) and taught her a few basic points of self-defense; furthermore, given the relationship between the Dunmer and Nords of Windhelm, she finds herself hesitant to let them know her status as Dovahkiin— the Nords would likely see it as a cultural insult, and she fears the Dunmer would shun her for being the hero of Nordic legend.

He didn't understand, though lately, he had been getting a few headaches from time to time. In their home all to themselves, Rick didn't dare inform Letty, be it because of his pride or dislike of worrying her.

And so, here he sat in their dream world, not indoors to offer visitors tea and sweets, but outside near their well. His head lolled from side to side, almost as though he was napping, but he was wide awake, gaze locked on nothing in particular.

When footsteps had been heard, his head lifted slightly, only turning to see faces he knew wander down the path. He picked up a rock near him, throwing it in front of the others to get their attention, not even bothering to stand up like he normally would. No, he just felt too tired to. Maybe he hadn't been getting enough sleep? Funny since he and Letty slept at the same time, yet she was as energetic as always.

"Hello," he greeted in that soft, distant tone of his. "I would offer tea but... It appears as though I'm not capable of doing so. Welcome to our home though."
