Naivara Illistyn

Name: Naivara Illistyn Name Meaning: moonlight (naivara), eternal ambition (illistyn) Notable Nicknames: Na, Nai Race: Half-Drow Gender/Pronouns: Female, she/her Sexuality: Bisexual Age: 41 Place of Origin: Menzoberranzan

Occupation: Wandering adventurer/mercenary Background: Criminal Class: Druid (Spore) Past Occupations: Pick pocket, thief, robber

Significant Other: Gale Best Friend(s): Shadowheart, Halsin Close Friends: Lae’zel, Wyll, Karlach, Astarion Family Issues: Naivara was born with her life planned out for her by her grandmother, mother, and aunts, being meant as a tool to serve their house as well as Lolth. She was raised to serve, with little autonomy of her own - though by far better off than the few of her brothers and male cousins deemed worthy of life. While har father managed to rescue her and several of the other children, this upbringing still has left its scars, and she still doesn’t know whether or not someone is looking for them, or if they got written off as losses. Religious Views: As a young girl, Naivara was taught to serve Lolth and to give her life to the service of the goddess and her family, to the point of still knowing a vast amount of her religious teachings by heart, but these days she is endlessly more prone to praying to the Oakfather.

Overall Personality: Naivara is, at the core of her very being, a very kind and sweet person who wants to help every unfortunate person she comes across - as long as they don’t have more money than sense, of course. She is a bit of a busy body, and rarely can leave well enough alone, but she ultimately means well. She has a solid moral core despite her illicit activities, and she tends towards being genuine with people, favoring to give what excess she steals to those who struggle to afford food - and when she can’t help people by stealing, she will try to help them with what druidic magic she knows. This general attitude of good deeds yields great rewards and her relentless optimism hides her considerable hatred for her own form due to her resemblance to her mother, concealing it as being humble with a self-sacrificial streak. She does not seek power, not really, but she does desire to change herself in such a way she can look herself in the mirror without nearly breaking down. While her positive outlook makes her come off as naïve to some, she is surprisingly shrewd, with a good eye for people she can trust and people she can’t, and she is incredibly experienced with two-faced backstabbers in particular - to the point it reminds her of home. She only wants people to be their best selves, and she will help them achieve it. Positive Traits:

Positive and optimistic

Friendly

Kind-hearted

Cheerful

Helpful

Loyal

Negative Traits:

Self-hatred

Insecure

Temperamental

Gives, gives, gives endlessly with little concern towards herself

Anxious, jumpy

Never gives herself time to rest if left to her own devices

Notable Equipment: Mask of Soul Perception, Armour of the Sporekeeper, Staff of Spellpower, Ironvine Shield Notable Perks: Githzarai Mind Barrier, Cull the Weak, Psionic Dominance, Displacer Beast Shape Notable Spells: Guidance, Resistance, Shillelagh, Longstrider, Speak with Animals, Heat Metal, Pass without Trace, Call Lightning, Blight, Contagion, Cloudkill, Insect Plague, Heal

Whisper would be a deity of lies, secrets, and forbidden knowledge.

Kriivah... well... predictably, death (causing death, specifically), but also new beginnings, freedom, and vengeance.

Naivara would be a goddess of mushrooms! Also poison, but mostly mushrooms.

Tav Question

If your Tav was a deity, what would they be the deity of?

So, I feel like yapping about a kotlc oc. So that's what I'll do! After all, I graduated from Yapping University.

Hehe.

(Fyi, she was supposed to be the daughter oc Councilor Clarette and Derek but that's too complicated to explain...)

Naivara Kara

Naivara’s parents never meant to get together. They loved each other, but they didn’t want to bear the scorn of being a badmatch. So when her mother gave birth, that happened in a hidden place, which is unknown to anyone alive.

But nothing comes easily.

About an hour after Naivara’s birth, all three vanished. No record of their bodies was found. They just simply had disappeared.

With no evidence of them being alive, the Council declared them dead so the families and friends could grieve.

Now, while no one actually knows if Naivara’s parents were alive, one person did know their child was alive.

And that was Naivara herself.

A group of humans found her, but unfortunately for her, these were humans part of an illegal society that yearned to see how certain ‘things’ would change the human if injected into one. Naivara, no older than a day old (well, technically nine months) was taken into custody of vile hands.

They waited for two hours, fearing that the child’s vitals would collapse if they began experimenting too early. Four years later, though, as if things couldn’t get worse for Naivara, a few of these humans came across a bottle of quintense mixed with shadowflux. They didn’t know what this substance was, and they didn’t care. They just wanted to see how a human would be altered if injected into one.

To their disappointment, it did nothing noticeable. So they reverted back to their original methods of using things that they knew what they were and would probably kill Naivara (but they always stopped right when she was basically on the brink of death).

But it did alter her (like Keefe, spoiler alert to those who haven’t read book 9). She began to rapidly manifest abilities (makes no sense, I realize that), ending up with 26 (yes, that’s overpowered, but don’t worry, she’s a softie)

When Naivara was around eight, she escaped. Using her ability as a technopath, she created a powerful bomb, and used her ability as a psionipath to shield herself. The facility (yeah, she was in a facility) was completely obliterated, but luckily, not much beyond that was.

Now, Naivara might have been in human standards only an hour old before mysterious things happened. But she’s an elf, and they know how to speak and understand as soon as they pop into existence. So she knew that she wasn’t a human, and she also had an idea on how to get back to her home. Her parents had talked about ‘leaping’ back (according to her photographic memory) and her mother had asked her mother if he brought his pathfinder. And apparently her father had said he left it, but brought their home crystal. Naivara pieced that together and two seconds later, she was starting to search for a crystal that did weird things.

Coincidentally, the facility was near London. She went around looking at jewelry while trying to vanish. (It mostly worked, since she practiced a little when she was captive) Fortunately for her, no one paid any attention.

About two weeks later, she found the lantern with the crystal (don’t ask how she survived for two weeks). And since Naivara was an elf, she could read the rune. Being determined and all, she found a way to clamber up and grab it (does that work?) She held it up to the light of the lantern, formed a path, and leaped.

That went quite well.

Skip to when she wakes up (I don’t wanna write that stuff) at the Foxfire healing center. Alden decided to go back and check that place Sophie and Dex ended up in (that didn’t happen but who cares). Freaked - out - Alden hurried Naivara to Elwin and blah blah blah bunch of DNA testing stuff later, my poor oc was adopted by two elves with no children - Viola and Harrik Regeny.

No one knew about Naivara’s 26 abilities, though (I forgot to mention I made up four abilities (not including Keefe's m-blobs). They probably exist just Shannon hasn’t named them yet…), since she had some ‘trust’ issues. (You would to, trust me) But another good thing for her, the elemental abilities weren’t as strong as normal elemental abilities would be (I don’t know how that would work, but just to counteract her having too many abilities), so she wasn’t constantly setting things on fire, blinking in and out, flooding Atlantis, and nothing destructful.

Book 9 happens. She starts Foxfire, since she’s about 10 now.

That's all I got. And there is my yapping. You're welcome.

Yo Quasarla, Proxima, and Naivara, I'm making the video that I said I'd make right now, but my oc Ellie, how would you like me to type up a script inspired by my favorite total dramarama episode 'the big bangs theory'? It made me cry laughing the very first time I wrote it! 😂

PROXIMA: I’d be interested in watching a video with Ellie.

QUASARLA: The script would be cool, but they can take a bit to write.

NAIVARA: Both sound cool, but don’t do both if you don’t feel like it.

[dinrelsanddragons]

Other OCs of mine associated with Sableflame and the Blackscales (a few muses, most not)

Erdan Tiltathana: He has an AoC verse, and because I couldn't justify the presence of a Twili in that time, he's a Shiekah from Sableflame. Escaped its razing through sheer luck, though he lost everything like his family. Adventured across Hyrule for a time alongside Naal and some others, now content to teach the next generation about strength and its value, in Hyrule Castle Town. Naal Berevan: Again, has an AoC verse as a Shiekah because no Twili in that time. Like Erdan, he's from Sableflame and escaped as a child, and happened to meet Erdan later in life and fell in love with this other survivor of a genocide. Adventured across Hyrule for a time alongside Erdan, and opened a magic item shop in Hyrule Castle Town after retiring from that life. Rinn Berethana: Erdan and Naal's firstborn, a girl obsessed with magical artifacts. Del Berethana: Erdan and Naal's second child, a girl who wants to keep her family safe, using the sword skills taught by her father.

Fennec Bhelthir: Bran's son and firstborn by his Hylian wife, Noel Bhelthir. Although Bran didn't want Fennec ending up as a thief or a criminal, it turned out to be what Fennec was best at. Felicity Bhelthir: Bran's daughter and secondborn, again by Noel Bhelthir. Felicity also picked up the sticky fingers trait from Bran, but also an obsession with magic and magical artifacts from her mother as well.

Masumi Akabane: Originally an urchin from Sableflame who resented the other residents for what he knew as a dog-eat-dog world. Grew up to become a criminal with various talents in the underworld, and was hired by King Uther to find his missing beloved, Enid. When he returned with Enid's corpse, Uther kept him around and made him a royal guard rather than killing him for being the bearer of bad news.

Sheezrar Faenorin: Lambda's biological father, husband of Naivara, elder brother of Enai Faenorin. A lord who was slain in the razing of his manor. His brother Enai inherited the Faenorin holdings after this. Enai Faenorin: Sheezrar's younger brother, father of Bethrynna, Caelynn, Heian, and Valna. Lord Faenorin, since Sheezrar's untimely demise. Studies magic, especially the strange magic he can perform with his mind. Sysgaia Faenorin: Wife of Enai, originally Lambda's aunt before the Faenorin manor was razed and Lambda was adopted by the Blackscales. Originally Sysgaia Blackscale, whose parents hailed from Sableflame and controlled a very profitable trading company. Possesses shadow magic, courtesy of her patron, the dragon spirit Sirredes. Bethrynna Faenorin: Firstborn child of Enai and Sysgaia Faenorin, set to inherit the Faenorin holdings; a wealthy artisan married to a Hylian man with a young daughter, Birelle Faenorin, who... has no notes in my OC document. Hm. Caelynn Faenorin: Secondborn child of Enai and Sysgaia Faenorin. Former muse on this blog. Enlisted as a soldier and has developed more than a few martial skills (especially with her bare hands, as a martial artist). Heian Faenorin: Thirdborn child of Enai and Sysgaia Faenorin. A soldier for a brief time, until his first battle earned him some PTSD, after which point he retired from that career and retreated to a temple of the dragon spirits, which has soothed that terrible scar since. Valna Faenorin: Fourthborn child of Enai and Sysgaia Faenorin, their youngest. Lost a leg in an accident, and she did without for a time until she met an ancient fae dragon who gave her a magical wooden leg to her that both functions like a real leg and confers a weakness to fire.

We’re gonna play Curse of Strahd so new OC!!

[blackswanndraws]

my drow druid named Naivara !

[artchixs]

oops all avatars

[pastelgreasers]

so I started playing my wizard this year and our group decided to draw our characters every level so here’s level 2!

[eldritchblaast]

Inspiration’s Dawn

Shaggy brown hair that barely reached his shoulders. Bright hazel eyes with faint smile lines that tugged at the corners. Skin browned from two hundred years of walking under the light of the Morninglord. A permanent stubble that remained, despite how often he shaved. Pointed ears that betrayed his elven heritage, but the sturdier body of his human forefathers. And a smile that burned brighter than Inspiration’s Dawn himself.

For the first time in a long time, Naivara felt like she was being seen for who she was. Instead of being seen only as a Marquis, or an elf, or a wizard, or a woman, Galvanus saw her as a person, just like he always had. He saw her as the person that made up the sum of her parts. And for the first time in a long time, Naivara felt the weight on her shoulders get just a little bit lighter.

He was, to her, a beacon of light amongst the darkness. One of her oldest friends. One of her truest friends. Her original sparring partner, and the bar that she held herself to for so long.

She would go to the end of the world for him if he wanted.

[suteshiro]

you WILL look at my girl

[lazybulette]

Kriivah, no.

Naivara gained some limbs instead (it's tentacles).

Whisper lost an eye! To Volo. They were very drunk and icepick to the eye sounded like a good solution to the tadpole problem at that moment.

OC Question

Has your OC ever lost an organ or body part?

[etdraconis]

( Ok so I have played 5 hrs of the game so far and already in love. Definitely adding some new characters and some new verses so tentatively: ~ Elysia Caius and Naivara Galonodel are both getting a rook verse ~ New OCs/Rooks are Sterling, Rowan, and Mia. Bios coming soon. ~ Neve is almost definitely being added. ~ Lucanis, Davrin, and Emmrich are VERY strong potentials but I haven't gotten them yet to decide ~ Lace and Bellara are possibles. As is Taash (who I also have not gotten yet). Ok i'm finally done with my unplanned obligations for the evening so I'm going back to the game. If anyone wants to chat hmu on Discord @ prettyboycrowley )

[iamthescalesofjustice]

eventually autumns family will stop being composed of his immediate family and other various human-lifespan relatives and he will just have the amanodels, an eccentric copper dragon, and his unwanted ‘fairy godmother’. which is sad, but also a great setup for a horrible sitcom. 

[mysticonsheadcanons]

Proxima, Quasarla, and Naivara, if I tell you all about an oc that I send a picture in, is it alright if the next time I give you guys a mini quiz about her?

PROXIMA: sounds interesting.

QUASARLA: I’d be fine with that.

NAIVARA: I guess.

Note: For the quiz, depending on how hard it seems, I may purposely get answers wrong if so feel the characters might.
