#oc:lyandra

[vampire-kaelthas]

The two figures appeared out of nowhere, right outside the Skaal Village. Lyandra stood up, dusting the snow off of her armor. She turned to her companion, still kneeling in the snow.

"Miraak... are you okay?" She asked.

She realized he was shaking, no, sobbing. It was faint, but she could still hear it. He took off his mask, throwing it to the ground next to him. "Is this fake?" He asked. "The sky... it's too blue to be real."

Lyandra took a step forward. "No Miraak, it's real. All of it. The snow, the sky, me. Nothing is fake.

Miraak looked at her, his eyes rimmed with red, his face pink from crying and the cold. "How do I know this isn't another mind game? A trick played on me like countless others in the past? It's all too true to be real... I could never win..."

Lyandra sat in the snow next to him, and pulled him towards her, hugging him. "I assure you," she said, "this is all real. We won, Miraak. You're free from him, forever. Nothing will change that."

[vampire-kaelthas]

Miraak: speaks

Lyandra: your voice is so nice...

Miraak: what the fuck

34. — diary

Lyandra looked at the small book in her hands, the cracked leather cover worn from use. The diary- which Elenwen had given her during her first few days of coming to the embassy- was full, her writing and drawings filling every page. In the beginning, it had been her day to day activites, written so she could get better with other languages, but as she started to travel, it turned into a log, documenting everything she did. Her plans, what she saw, what she said, what she had thought of everyone she came across. If anyone read it, they would know exactly what she had been up to, and she found that so vulnerable. 

She opened up the drawer of her desk, and put the journal in there. She had no more use of it, and it was time to start a new one, hopefully full of more happy days than sad days. 

She turned from her desk, and walked out of her room, towards her group of friends, praying that only happy days were in her future.

[vampire-kaelthas]

So i remade Lyandra and Athena. Not bad.

OC Master List

Updated OC Lists (current as of 5/18/20)

Celean- ESO

He's my necromancer vestige! He's about 24 when his story starts, and he got into necromancy when he was 16! He's very much a disaster gay, so much so he becomes a stuttering mess around Jakarn and any man that compliments him. Very sweet but has anxiety.

Ravis- Skyrim

He's a Ohmes-Raht Khajiit! So hes the Dragonborn and Harbinger for the Companions, along with being a veteran for the Civil war. He came to Skyrim as a secret agent of the Empire, being hidden in the ranks of the Thalmor to spy on them. He gets discovered and spends some time in one of the Thalmor prisons which was... less than kind to him. He ends up escaping with Kaidan and goes on to join the Companions and save the world and all that Jazz. He married Kaidan about a year and a half later, with their home being a cottage in the Rift.

Lyandra- Skyrim

She's a snow elf, who lived in with the group of Snow Elves that hid with Gelabor (ok for this I use my headcanon of time traveling elder scrolls just go with it). When the Falmer attacked the Chantry, (around 4e198 for reference) she runs through the tunnels and ends up literally stumbling into a group of Thalmor. After that, for 3 years she was trained by the Thalmor to be an asset. Elenwen saw Lyandra as a daughter, and even throughout her story still saw her as one. Lyandra joins the Dawnguard and is the Dragonborn, and also dabbles with some stuff at the College of Winterhold. She tries to look for more Snow elves for a few years, but gives up when she finds none left in Skyrim. She doesn't end up with anyone, but she has a huge group of friends that basically live at her giant house in the Pale.

Astreae- Skyrim

Astreae is a Breton, and a demi prince of Light and Stars! She gets fought over by both Azura and Meridia (turns out she has one of them further back in her family tree so it's just in her blood). She lived in High Rock before she came to Skyrim to join the Bards College in Solitude. She ends up with Marcurio. She helps rebuild Windhelm, since she loves the old city (hates the racism). She really brings back the life into the city, while keeping the old rustic stone feel.

Athena- Skyrim

Athena is a wood elf who came to Skyrim with their friends and fiancee. They were ambushed by both the Stormcloaks and Imperials, and Athena watched them all fall around them. Their story is long and difficult, with betrayal at every corner. They end up nearly broken, being nursed back to sanity by Serana.

Raven- Skyrim

She was raised by ex-assassins, trained to join the Dark Brotherhood from a young age. She doesn’t know until the events of Skyrim that she’s actually a demi-prince, related to Mephala (who is confused about why their child would look more like a bosmer than a dunmer). She is in the same world as Keian, and ends up being close friends with her. She ends up as Listener, and both her and Keian are Dragonborns

Keian- Skyrim

Keian is a vampire, born at the beginning of the 4th Era. She was raised Markarth, and lived as an Alchemist in the hills. She was turned when she was out hunting for ingredients. After that, she fled Skyrim and stayed with a small clan in High Rock until 4e201, when she left to explore the world. She is obsessed with history and, along with funds donated by Raven, rebuilds most of the Chantry of Auri-El to give snow elves a home once again when they are found. 

Seline- Skyrim

One of my Half Dragon dragonborns. She was born in the Imperial City, to 2 normal Imperials. She’s dragonborn and ends up as Arch Mage. She does go through the dawnguard questline, but only because she was looking for rare books and finds Serana instead. She ends up living with Serana in Winterhold, where they rebuild the city and make it a haven for wizards and nonviolent vampires. 

Nikoli- Skyrim

Another one of my half dragon ocs, but he was born with the features instead of them coming in later in life. His mother is a Nord and his father is a high elf. He grew up with his mother, far from society until he was 12. From then on he lived at the Rorikstead Inn. When Erik turns 19, he and Nikoli leave to become mercenaries.

Kiliana Ebon-Talon -Skyrim 

She’s a pure Nord, born and raised in Falkreath. She lived with her parents her entire life. When she was 20, she came home from a weekend of hunting to find her parents murdered. She left town after that, drinking her grief away and avoiding any of her friends who would try to find her. She got her dragon looks (horns, scales, and tail) after the battle with the dragon at the West Tower! She goes on to be Dragonborn and Guild Master of the Thieves Guild.

Ran’ik Tzan -Skyrim

Very chaotic, very impulsive fire mage! She accidently ended up in Skyrim due to messing up a portal spell very badly and arrived at the College of Winterhold! She ends up as Archmage and ends up with Ancano

Eats Much Bread -Skyrim

They’re an argonian! Their actual name is a little hard to pronounce, and instead of listening to racist nords purposely mispronounce it, they just went with this instead! They join the Dawnguard

Xianna Septim -Skyrim

A lost descendant of Martin Septim, her family line has been waiting for the Empire to be weak to reclaim it. She was trained as a child at High Hrothgar to be Dragonborn. She ends up reclaiming the throne and marrying Brynjolf. 

Rowan -Oblivion

He’s a demi-prince of Meridia! He doesn’t do much with that knowledge except saying “cool.” He’s a healer, and hes an ancestor to Astreae

Citrane- Oblivion

She ends up joining the DB and falling pretty hard for Lucien, but realizes it too late. I think I’ll have her mantle Sheo, but I haven’t made my mind up yet.

Yakar- Skyrim

Yakar is one of the last Dwemer, hidden away deep in the mountains with the rest of his clan for generations. He leaves to travel Tameriel after no one doing that for generations, and uses the fact that dwemer Animunculi don't attack him to his advantage. He also ends up being wrapped up into the DB. May or may not technically share a soul with Emnoral

Emnoral- Skyrim

Hes the Son of Hircine, literally. He's a demiprince, and half Altmer. He's a very sassy, very charming asshole who only meets Yakar due to being too flirty with the citizens of Tameriel. May or may not technically share a soul with Yakar.

Quinlin- Skyrim

The child between Hermaeus Mora and Uriel VIII (the man had an interesting life), they're the demiprince of Fate. Growing up in apocrypha, the only access to Tameriel they had was through books, so they read all they could. They escape Apocrypha with Miraak and help with the take down of Alduin.

Talnori- Skyrim

She's my daughter of Vivec! She's been around since before the time of the nerevarine, and after Vivecs disappearance, she slowly traveled Morrowind and then all of Tameriel, making a name for herself as a treasure hunter. She makes her way to Skyrim after being hired to help with getting some artifacts (LOTD) when she finds out she's Dragonborn as well.

Celrin- Morrowind & Skyrim

He's a Maomer, one of the last that traveled the seas when he was arrested and sent to Morrowind. He's the Nerevarine, and does his "job" to the letter, and as soon as he's done, he leaves, going back to the seas. He reappears in Skyrim and travels with Talnori. He remembers her, but she doesn't remember him.

[vampire-kaelthas]

Inigo: so you risked your life, angering another Daedra, to save one of the cruel Dragon Priests???

Lyandra: yea

Inigo: my friend, I mean this in the nicest way possible. You are the dumbest person I have ever met

[vampire-kaelthas]

Ok I somewhat finished Lyandras as well.

Don't ask about the crossbow.

[vampire-kaelthas]

I spent way to much time on this lmao

but anyways, I have a headcanon that the Thalmor all have tattoos of the insignia, so they can recognize each other without having to be dressed as the Thalmor. 

Elenwen makes Lyandra get one so other agents know, because otherwise it’s a little hard to let every member know about a blue elf.

[vampire-kaelthas]

"I was born in the cold, the ice. It's what my races name comes from, the color of my skin. I spent years in the cold icy dark, hiding from the people above. What you think is "cold" is nothing."

-Lyandra, telling Kaidan to shut his face when he tried to lecture her on not wearing enough layers.

[vampire-kaelthas]

I remade Lyandra (for the 80 millionth time) on xbox!

I really wanted to actually play her lol

[vampire-kaelthas]

💀 Has your OC ever lost anyone to death? Multiple people? People close to them? How does the loss make them feel? For any of your OCS!

Im putting this under a cut because I don’t need to kill mobile users dashes lmao

Ill just kinda go through all of them: Speedrun edition

Lyandra: Lost her parents during the initial purge of the snow elves, since she and her brother were sent to the chapel of Auri-El. It took her a while to work through it once she and the group found out the news of what had happened. Then after the attack of Falmer on the group, she was empty. She saw her brother die in front of her, and when she stumbled out into the arms of the thalmor, she still had his blood on her. So she was a little fucked up from that. 

Seline: no death of people that were close to her. Shes lucky

Kilana: oh boy howdy. She lost her parents when bandits broke in to rob the place. After their funerals, she left town, going from bar to bar drinking her pain away. She’s still sad every day, but gets better hiding it as the days go by.

Keian: I mean yeah shes a vampire, people die. But she doesn’t feel sad about it, more just “oh, ok”

Athena: I wrote a post about it earlier, detailing their friends death, but oh my god does it fuck them up. They become severally depressed for a few years after, but they at least are able to function. But when the Blades ask them to kill paarthanax, the person who helped them move on, and realize that there is more to life then just prophecies, they broke. But, they still did it. They still killed Paarthanax. And they never forgave themselves for it. 

Raven: Her parents died of old age when they were 22. She cried. She may be a trained asshole killer, but she still loved her parents very much, and was so sad they never got to see her join to Dark Brotherhood.

Nikoli: It turns out Dragonborn, specifically half-dragon Dragonborn live for a lot longer than you would expect, plus Nikoli is a half elf. Erik refused to become a vampire, even though it would allow him to live a lot longer than a normal Nord would. As Erik reached his final years, Nikoli started to go actually crazy to find a way for Erik to not die. But he couldn’t. He couldn’t find anything. Nothing besides vampirism. He had a friend who was a vampire, who agreed to help against Erik’s wishes, but it was too late. By the time the vampire got there Erik had already passed. Nikoli went to join Paarthanax at the Throat of the World, and never came back down. He became an icon of love, of someone who loved their SO so much they were willing to do anything to keep them.

Eats-Much-Bread: They went through this period of years that after a vampire job went south, their sister just disappeared. Nowhere to be found, for about 4 years to be exact. They were so sad, and also mad. They made it their personal mission to wipe out all vampires, and even told Serana that she would either have to get herself cured, or she would no long be on Tamerial. She got cured.

dragonborn asks: 31, 16, 17 for lyandra and/or ravis

31. VERY IMPORTANT BONUS QUESTION: In their opinion, who is the best dog in all Skyrim?

16. Where did they choose to live and what drew them there? Does it really feel like home?

17. What’s their style- do they tend to wear armour and if so, what sort? Otherwise what’s their average day-to-day clothing?

luckily for you i like answering questions for both of them so i'll do both

Lyandra

31. She adopts Bran from the Dawnguard! She took him on her adventures during Dawnguard, and couldn’t bear to part with him after Harkon was defeated.

16. She has a... well, massive house in the Pale. She bought the land there because of the snow and solitude. It reminds her of her old home, before she was forced to hide at the Chantry for so long. It doesn’t replace her old home, but she loves it there all the same, surrounded by friends and those she loves.

17. She wore a set of Glass armor after she left the Thalmor to do Dragonborn business. It was a parting gift from Elenwen. After that, she joins the Dawnguard and switches it out for a set of the Light Dawnguard armor (she hates the weight of heavy armor.) In her daily, no-killing clothes, she likes to wear loose fitting shirts and comfy/loose fitting pants. She only wears shoes if she knows she’s doing a lot of walking, otherwise she’s barefoot.

Ravis

31. The half wolf mutt he rescues while adventuring! He found it in the cage of a bandit camp he was clearing. The poor thing was half blind and nearly staved, but he and Kaidan were able to nurse her back to health. They named her Star due to the way her blind eye looks.

16. He has 2 houses. One in Whiterun, only because he needs a place to stay when he’s dealing with Companions. His other home is in the Rift. A smaller sized cabin, Kaidan was the one who chose it out. Ravis really loves it, due to how quiet it is and how it’s surrounded by color. 

17. Ravis normally wears a set of Companions Armor, and it doesn’t change for most of his story. When he isn’t out adventuring, and is just home lounging around, he’s normally wears pants. Just pants, no shirt unless he doesn’t want anything messing with his back scar.

Tirdas, 19 Last Seed, 4e201

It's been a long 4 days since I left the embassy. First I find a man who has way too many issues, a blue cat that is convinced I'm someone else (which is impossible) and a noble from Cyrodiil who can barely lift a sword. I'm so tired of the chatter already.

I'm currently on a job working with a guild of vampire hunters. I figure that would be the best, since my orders are to not interfere with the civil war, running around killing some fiends might be better. I got sent to investigate a crypt, and now theres a woman sitting across the fire from me, a vampire. She seems nice enough, but shes very dazed. She also has a bag, with some sort of scroll peaking out that shes very defensive of. Shes old, maybe even as old as me, but its hard to tell. She was around before the Empire came around, and she looks just as confused as I did when Elenwen found me. I hope I'm not messing up already.

-exerpt from Lyandras Journal

[vampire-kaelthas]

I redid Lyandra! The red-brown hair goes better with the blue skin than the purple hair

[vampire-kaelthas]

Saw a fun idea on another tumblr once. I give you an ask about your LDB, you give me one for mine. First ask; What is their opinion on the College of Winterhold?

Most of my OCs actually join the college! The only one who doesnt is Raven because she doesnt see the point of it, since she is a assassin. Oh, and EMB, since they're mainly a vampire hunter they dont see the point in spending time "in class".

Lyandra loves the College. She finds it very homey, and loves learning how magic has changed over the (thousand) of years. She actually went to the college to learn more about enchanting, but picked up some conjuring as well. She figured out how to enchant and change the "conjure arrow" spell, so that you could conjure arrows with different affects. Also, the whole orb business didnt start until nearly 2 years after she joined, so she was more qualified to take over as Arch Mage.

[vampire-kaelthas]

🌟 for lyandra!

⭐ Does your OC like to sleep alone or do they enjoy sharing their bed? Have they been to any sleepovers? Have they ever been camping? What did they think of the experiences if so?

She likes to share her bed, but not if she’s gonna be cramped, you know? So, if its like, a queen sized bed (or whatever equivalent in elder scrolls), then it’s fine. She hasn’t been to  any “sleepovers”, but she does has a large house that all of her friends sleep over at a lot, so she hosts them. She thinks they’re great, as long as she gets her space as shes sleeping. She doesn’t hate camping, as long as she has a group with her it’s bearable. She has to travel a lot and she doesn’t stay in the cities for long, so she camps quiet often. The only time she hates camping is when its raining, just because then the ground gets muddy while sleeping :(.
