#nothirvir 'noth' featherfinger

[nothfeatherfinger]

I’m doing these for Noth as a sort of introduction to the character…

Morning Star - What was the first thing you gave your OC? Name, backstory, design, etc The first thing that I gave him was his freakishly tall height. Growing up as a male in a Bosmer society and being a tall is weird and it only makes him feel more conspicuously Altmerish and his height and that self consciousness about it was the first thing I conceptualized about him.

Sun's Dawn - Does your OC have a love interest? What is their relationship like? Not at present. It's a touchy subject for him.

First Seed - Does your OC have any enemies or rivals? How did these rivalries start? The Thalmor, which started when they uh, arrested him in Valenwood and then shipped him off to BFE Haafingaar to get tortured for months. There's also the rival Bosmeri tribe who warred with the one he had settled with and killed members of his found family, but those are behind him now.

Rain's Hand - Can your OC use magic? If so what Schools? He’s got a little bit of innate destruction magic in there courtesy of his Altmer father, but it really only explodes out of him when he really loses his temper. Which isn't often. If he focused and trained it up, it could probably be useful, but since he associates it with his father, he has no interest really in doing that.

Second Seed - Is your OC an alchemist? What do they excel at making? Ironically considering he's a Bosmer, he does like dabbling in alchemy. But he only uses ingredients that would be pact approved, so like... butterfly wings, bear claws, stuff like that. It's actually a fun challenge crafting potions using ingredients that aren't flowers or flora. He's not a master or anything, but he'll nosh and blend when he's got some free time.

Mid Year - Does your OC have a favourite celebration? Do they celebrate holidays? Noth enjoys a good wedding since weddings are always a good time in Bosmeri culture. He's also a fan of the Jester's Festival -- one, because people are taking the piss out of rulers and that's always amusing to him. And two, since it's generally a bit chaotic and it's a good time to make some money the good old fashioned way -- by stealing it off of people.

Sun's Height - What is your OC's favourite shop, in any of the games; what do they buy the most of? Unpopular opinion, but Noth actually likes Belethor, the little sleazebag. He wants to enjoy the Drunken Huntsman because Gore is right, there's no bard! Alas, Elrindir will not shut up about a fellow Bosmer being in the store, so it's probably a good thing he fletches his own bone arrows. Anyway, he also likes Bothela in Markarth -- mostly because, again, she takes the piss out of the jarl's steward by ratting out his ED. And he likes Keerava in the Bee and Barb. He just respects her brusqueness. As for who he buys the most off of, it's honestly the khajiit. It's a familiarity thing for him, having spent so much time in Reaper's March. Plus, they usually have better variety.

Last Seed - What weapon does your OC use? Who taught them how to use it? Like any self-respecting Bosmer, he's a bow man. He keeps a hunting knife at his hip for skinning and butchering kills, but for taking down enemies, it's his bow. Combat ranger 4 lyfe. His mom was his primary teacher, but he also picked up techniques from tribal Bosmer he met during his travels through Valenwood after she died.

Hearthfire - Does your OC have a family (blood or found)? Who are they closest to? No blood family left to speak of. Mom was killed in the line of duty, and his Thalmor father is also dead, to his knowledge. Unusually for a Bosmer, he never had any siblings. He does have some Khajiiti found family in Reaper's March that he spent a lot of time with as a child, and a tribe of Bosmer deep in the Valenwood that he grew close to and spent a significant amount of time with. He can't return to them though, so really those Khajiit in Reaper's March are it for him.

Frost Fall - Where is your OC's primary residence? What city is there favourite? He doesn't have one. He prefers camping around Lake Ilinalta though. Lots of game in the woods, a lake full of fish, fresh water for bathing and drinking. As for favorite cities, Falkreath and Riften for the trees and the warmth, and Dawnstar for the sunrises and sunsets.

Sun's Dusk - Is your OC religious? If so, who do they follow? More so in his adult life than he was in his youth. He adheres more staunchly to the Green Pact now having spent time with the native deepwood Bosmer tribe he more or less joined after his mother was killed and he set out on his own. He's a follower of Y'ffre, but there's also a little bit of Trinimac/Malacath in there for the vengeance aspect.

Evening Star - When is your OC's birthday? 12th of Second Seed, 4E 162.
