#should I just post the whole list of tropes (minus the biggest spoilers?)

[sulphuricgrin]

1 & 15 for any/all for the TES OC Interview!

OMG Thank you!! :D

TES OC Interview Game

1. What class do they fall under? Anything they specialize in? (ex: Mage > Illusionist) Have they changed their class over their lifetime or stayed the same?

I answered Lilliandra here

Elikar: If we go by DnD rules, he would be a Paladin. In TES, he would be a templar! His god for the majority of his life would be Stendarr. When he travels to Skyrim with his sister, Lilliandra, he's rather unwillingly picked by Meridia to take her beacon to her Temple and becomes her Champion.

He's strong in Restoration, Mysticism, and Destruction magic, particularly Shock magic. He didn't gain the epithet of Alinor's Thunder during the Great War for nothing! (though he wishes he never did) And he fights with sword and shield, and summons an Aedra spear if he must in battle.

He stays rather consistent with his style in life.

15. Tropes, tropes, tropes! Do any come into mind for this character? Or do they subvert any?

YOU GAVE ME MY FAV ASK AHHHH I got a whole LIST of tropes!! I'll pick some good ones!

These probably contain spoilers, but eh. 🤷

Lilliandra:

Acid-Trip Dimension - potentially her own pocket realm, reflecting her fractured mind/memories; also what it’s like with her torturous illusions

Black Knight - a mirror to Elikar’s The Paladin imagery; especially as Boethiah’s champion

Cruel and Unusual Death - She has an incredible mean streak, dishing these out. Have a list, will not post in an ask in case of tw.

The Dreaded - both to dragons, her victims, and (to a lesser extent) Miraak when she shows up with all the dragon priest masks, having killed his former fellow priests and even his would-be jailor, and a necromantic lich dragon helping her

Evil Hero | Villain Protagonist

Evil Versus Evil - Dragonborn DLC; After waking up the first time on Solsthiem under Miraak's control after sleeping there, she takes great effort to contact Vaermina, offering to torture and give those souls to her in return for a trinket to stop his interference during her sleeping/dreams. Vaermina gives her a steep price and only hours to complete her mission and the trinket would only continue to work if she fed it tortured souls. Lili in turn starts picking off those Miraak has in control building on the island, defenseless, and feeds the trinket their souls. EVIL v EVIL

Faux Affably Evil | Villain with Good Publicity - By playing nice and downplaying her sinister, ulterior motives, she's able to coerce people into going along with her plans without realising just what they've signed onto.  She’s smart enough to use her title as the legendary Dragonborn (Stormcrown) to convince the public she was a hero, and not a villain.

Functional Addict - consumes a majority of drugs, always attempting to cloud the memories; tobacco, moon sugar & skooma, alcohol, opium, etc

Malevolent Masked Man - begins to hide her face, but for privacy and as a psychological threat if it’s a scary mask

Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe

One-Winged Angel - when she’s willing to transform herself into a Bone Goliath

Pragmatic Villainy

Screw You, Elves! - particularly against the Dominion

Surreal Horror - her illusions and her hallucinations

The Unfettered "Necessity knows no law."

I'm sorry, if this was long! The actual list is SO SO MUCH longer.
