#oc: chatin grys

[nerevar-quote-and-star]

Chatin Grys: Viki is a necromancer drug dealer.

Alvivecia: I am not!

Also Alvivecia: *raises a dead skooma addict to chase Chatin around Tel Uvirith* And stop calling me Viki!

[nerevar-quote-and-star]

Caius Cosades: What, in the name of sanity, have you got on your head?

Alvivecia: It's a Colovian fur helm! I wear a fur helm now. Fur helms are cool.

Caius Cosades: *snatches the fur helmet, throws it in the air*

Chatin Grys: *shoots it*

For any/all (as you choose): Avarenya, Jolinar Aren, Bellatrix Farstern, Oromis, Chatin Grys

I had this finished last week and nearly forgot it because someone had me working on an art project, but here you go! It's long, so I hope that makes up for the wait! Thanks!

Do they talk to their pets?

Avarenya, Jolinar, and Chatin definitely talk to their pets. Jolinar talks to them as if she's holding a conversation with another person, while Avarenya talks to them in a mommy voice as if they're her kid or something. Chatin not only talks to them, but he talks FOR them, and makes them sound ridiculously diabolical. It's darkly funny.

Bellatrix? Talk to an animal? Only Shadowmere, and that's because Bella knows Shadowmere is smarter than most of the Brotherhood (don't tell them she said that, though)!

As for Oromis . . . only once he becomes the Mad God, and then every animal talks back to him, too.

Forehead kisses or hand kisses?

Avarenya forehead kisses everyone. Martin, Jena, Baurus, the other Blades, her fellow Fighters Guild associates. She's very physically affectionate with the people she likes, and she likes a lot of people. Since she's a taller Altmer chic, she finds forehead kisses the easiest. But she doesn't do it tenderly. Not usually. It's more like an enthusiastic smack whenever she's excited. Especially when she's excited.

Chatin is just as enthusiastic with hand kisses. Every woman he's ever met has been kissed by him twice because he wanted to taste both hands. Conversely, Oromis only kisses hands in court and during visits between the Altmer aristocracy just because that's what was expected of him. He's otherwise not terribly physically affectionate, but has been known to kiss Avarenya on the side of her head.

Bellatrix doesn't put her lips on anything. Not another person, not a pet, not unknown substances. She's too careful and too cautious to risk it. But if she pressed her lips to Antoinetta Marie's pale face and limp hair in the stillness of a silent sanctuary, she wouldn't admit it.

Jolinar kisses her closest friends and her brother's cheeks, but otherwise she's usually the recipient of the tender and more gallant displays of affection.

What's a guilty pleasure of theirs?

Does Jolinar's entire career as a thief qualify? She didn't mean for it to become such an involved hobby, but it did, and now she's the guild master in Riften while also trying to maintain her reputation at the College, and just. She loves stealing things. She loves the challenge and manipulating magic and the mundane under people's noses. But at the same time, she's aware of the harm she's caused doing it. She knows she was raised better than this. But she's just so good at it? Why stop now when she's so far ahead?

Oromis likes the occult. He shouldn't. It's dangerous and lacks the structured respectablity of the Mages Guild. Still, it doesn't hurt to look, right? . . . right? It's how he got involved with the Nerevarine anyway.

Avarenya's guilty pleasure is her freedom. She was an only daughter in a noble house, beautiful and talented, and she threw it all away — she ran away — and while she does not regret leaving Summerset to discover herself, the lingering guilt of what her leaving has done to her family still has a hold of her.

You'd think for assassins like Chatin (Morag Tong) and Bellatrix (Dark Brotherhood) that they might have some internal moral dilemma that puts their lines of work in conflict with their better conscience. No. Chatin's just obsessed with sugar. He will eat you out of mushroom tower and home to consume all your sugary snacks. He cares . . . a little bit but not really. Bellatrix, on the other hand, builds friendships, even though she knows they all end badly and she'll be alone again. She can't help but seek that people connection dispute what it eventually does to her. They both can't help but seek satisfaction now even if it hurts them later.

Your OC is surrounded by puppies/kittens/ducklings. What do they do?

Cute baby animals? Everywhere? Give Avarenya a bluebird and an apple because she just became Snow White. It's play sing and dance time!

Oromis will not play with them. But if they nestle on his lap, what's it to anyone if he strokes their soft tiny bodies so gently they fall to sleep?

Chatin is fond of cats. He's a cat person (you know how hard it is to find a cat that's not a Alfiq trolling everyone? Very). He may cuddle a few kittens, but otherwise he's not really going to go out of his way to do anything with a bunch of baby animals. If they've got him surrounded, he'll totally freak and shoot off like a rocket.

Bellatrix thinks they're cute. How could anyone not? She'd definitely caress their tiny bodies with gentle fingers and sing them lullaby like sea shanties from Stros M'Kai.

Jolinar wouldn't know what to do with them. The only pet she's ever had is her horse, and he's bigger than her. A bunch of tiny animals mewling and squeaking as they crawl over and around her is going to leave Jolinar sitting there in confusion. Seriously, what's happening?

Do they have a comfort food? Who makes it best?

Oromis and Avarenya grew up eating pork dumplings made hot and spicy by the elderly cook in their parents' manor house in Cloudrest. Those were the best. Sure, pork dumplings can be found throughout Cyrodiil, but they don't taste as sweet (and Avarenya can never get hers as spicy) as the ones from Cloudrest. Still, even bland pork dumplings remind them of home.

Bellatrix grew up in a tavern in Port Hunding, always flitting between the kitchen and the barroom. Early every Sundas, Bella would help her mother bake pistachio cookies. That was Their Thing. Bella's favorite cookie made with her favorite person. Since she ran away to Cyrodiil, she's not made pistachio cookies. She found some in a bakery in Anvil, once, but they weren't the same. She gave the rest to Antoinetta Marie.

When Jolinar was a kid growing up in Winterhold, her dad would often buy salmon and potato patties for her as a treat. But lots of things have changed since the Great Collapse. The single inn doesn't serve them anymore, and Jolinar's not comfortable in there anyway. She's got a recipe she found in an old cookbook lost behind some alchemical texts in the Arcanaeum, so maybe she'll try to make them herself one of these days when things slow down.

Two words: marshmerrow pudding. Chatin loves sugar, and marshmerrow pudding is like a bowl of sugary heaven.
