[aldruiel-scribbles]

This is basically my team dynamic throughout the whole game 💀

I love those idiots

[dykesstarion]

lucien’s reaction to dragonborn turning for the first time.. i want to marry him.

[dynamite124]

Would Tal get along with the other modded followers? (Sorry if this was asked already, feel free to ignore if so!)

Honestly I can see some like Kaiden or Auri seeing him and wanting to leave him but the dragonborn is WAY too nice to leave him in that state. I feel like him and Lucien MIGHT get along at least in terms of knowledge (geeks geeking out lol)

I think out of the plethora of other modded followers, Taliesin may not be making any new friends anytime fast. XD

Kaidan, Auri, Gore - Taliesin's personality and past with the Thalmor (while still wearing their robes), he's probably going to be on their 'shit-list' for a while.

Taliesin would also NOT like Gore's name...at all. He may try to enforce a "less disgusting" name onto him...like ,"Fenris. You look like a Fenris to me". Though I can see Gore pulling a reverse Uno card and trying to change Taliesin's name in return.

He might find some common ground with Auri, due to not being able to return home himself and leaving behind his youngers sisters.

****

Hoth, Nebarra - Up in the air. I can see Nebarra and Taliesin having a sass off at some point. Hoth is another story, since he doesn't talk much and is a little gruff, I can't pinpoint how Taliesin would feel about him.

Hoth: When you live as long as I have. You pick up on a thing of two.

Taliesin: ...I'm older than you.

****

Khash the Argonian - Would probably start out wanting to ship her off to the Riften orphanage due to her age and then constantly wanting to wash her mouth out with soap due to her "colorful language". However, she has spunk and he appreciates that. Might adopt her.

Caryalind Thallery - The Prince of the Altmeri Dominion! At first impressions, things could be awkward between these two. Taliesin might find Caryalind's goal to be ridiculous and a wasted effort, but he'd find it a welcomed change for the Altmer. And, of course, he'd still fall into old habits around the prince, namely appointing himself as Caryalind's Bodyguard. XD

****

Rumarin - This Altmer is very self-deprecating, and that's suspicious. He's keeping an eye on Rumarin.

Lucien, Remeil - These two might be the easiest ones for Taliesin to get along with. He'd appreciate traveling with highly educated people like himself. Remiel's fascination with Dwemer technology might confuse him, but hey, she has a cat! And so does Lucien! Taliesin would adore Lucien's personality and someone cultured and refine to travel with!

****

Inigo - Would immediately want to bathe the moment he hears about his fleas.

[noonybug]

Taliesin, Caryalind, and Lucien would and probably were theater kids. I love them for it.

[sweetroll-muncher]

Goodnight sweet prince

Made a new oc! His name is Von, son of Kyne, and guide of the fallen!

Von is a demi-god, son of Kyne, who watched over souls in Sovengarde and helps lead them to the Hall of Valor.

Obviously, being the son of Kyne, he always did know the thu'um and used it to aid warriors in Sovengarde.

However, all would change with Alduin. Von and Alduin have a long history of battles against one another. But it wasn't till the Nords of the Merethic era would fall quickly during their rebelion that the two's anger towards one another would come to a head.

Von would meet Alduin in the snowy fields of Skyrim, demanding Alduin to stop. This led to a large fight. For a while, it seemed the two to be evenly matched, but at one point, Alduin gained the advantage by bitting off Von's hand and shouting at him. Using a thu'um that caused Von to fall in a deep slumber.

As the years went by, Von laid in the snow, soon covered by the thickness and laying dormant in it for thousands of years.

Soon enough, he awoken. But all was not well, Von remembers nothing of who he once was except his name.

As a mess and not knowing where he was, Von began to wander Skyrim.

He started to take small, odd jobs to get by. These jobs would slowly begin to lead him to places where he started to meet others like him; lost, in their own ways.

Taliesin kept telling Von he should at least try to look more presentable.

Von just somewhat chuckled and asked, "What do you suggest?"

The Mer looks to Khash. "Khash, would you be so kind to get our friend's hair under control?"

The Argonian girl could barley contain her excitement!

While he knows nothing of who he once was (yet,) Von is happy with the life he's building so far.

Sadly, Alduin knows how to hold a grudge and longs to devor the rest of the demi-god who's flesh he tasted.

WAAH Joseph Russell streamed on YouTube and talked about Lucien and all the stuff he plans to add! I'm so excited!! What he has currently has always felt like, incomplete, so I'm so fucking happy there's going to be another arch of story for him.

I'll type down things I find interesting towards Lucien below! Feel free to watch his VOD here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFd9rDW87HY

Three things he mentioned that most people won't know about Lucien:

He has an aunt named Silvia that he does not get on with; they have a hostile relationship. His Discord came up with a funny headcanon that he enjoys that Lucien's mom, Lyra, thinks she's Lucien's father's sister, and his father, Davidicus, thinks she's Lyra's sister, and it's just never come up in conversation. She's actually just some super natural entity that's wormed her way into their life. (The fuck??? LMAO)

Lucien's cat is inspired by Joseph's cat, Gray, who is very small and fluffy and sometimes cameos in his videos. Unfortunately we will never meet Lucien's cat. ("Probably.") He hasn't decided on the cat's name! ("Sorry! Wish I could tell you.")

And the third fact is that he once set fire to his shoes trying to boil potatoes. ("And that speaks for itself.") This white boy cannot cook!! But he can make tea.

He confirms that Lucien is 21 (lmfao knew it) and that he doesn't have a canon birthdate despite Lucien saying he thinks he's under the sign of the Lady ("thinks" being a big if) because Joseph wants to wait to see if wants to set in a particular date at a later time in case it is useful. So headcanon to your hearts content!

"Probably won't ever get to meet Lucien's parents because it's a lot of effort- but never say never."

He'll make Serana comments some point in the future HALLELUJAH It felt so bland without Lucien asking her anything because I know he would pick her brain!!!!!!*

*Expanded further down the video: someone asks what Lucien would ask Serana (THANK YOU CHATTER).

Joseph: He would ask what it's like to live as a vampire, and also the past, the experience of the time before he grew up when Serana existed.

He wants people to tweet him art of Lucien or post it in his Discord, he never gets art sent his way anymore on twitter (cause modding scene from Skyrim is kinda old hat but we're essentially reviving it I think lmao) but if you have art and you've never shown him, do it!!!

KJHASKDJAH okay so for those who have child dragonborn, Joseph says Lucien would be virtually useless aksjdhask he'd want to be supportive and teach them everything. He'd want to take them under his wing and teach them the signs and everything- but he'd be really irresponsible and bad at parenting. But he'd mean really well. So there ya go.

Dawnguard support for Lucien is very high on his list!! Let's goooo!!!

Lucien canonically does not being called Lucy. (Stares at my fanfiction with a snicker. It's okay, I call him Lu-Lu more often than not.) Davidicus would not like being called Dave, and Lyra would not like being called Ly-Ly.

We'll find out what Lucien wanted to see in the Elder Scroll in his third quest 👀👀👀👀 Staring so hard. GIMME.

He doesn't want to turn the resonant sphere into a teleport system, but rather make it something more lore friendly for you to call Lucien to you. I look forward to that because I actually planned something similar in my story too!

Someone asked Joseph if he thinks Dumzbthar could abandoned his aggressive side and live without the restrictions Lucien gives him and Joseph replies with, "No he's a demon. He's a Daedra. Don't forget that."

Chat: "Will Inigo ever let Lucien ever have a sweetroll?" Joseph: "No. Not without a fight."

Lucien would like black tea. But Joseph himself likes various other teas. (That's... so many teas my guy.)

He enjoys filling out Lucien's spell list when he plays with / tests Lucien. Lucien's favourite spell would be something having to do with restoration; maybe Healing Hands to heal others. Even if he gets super excited about Sparks, lol.

Something that raised an eyebrow from me; chat: "Will we ever find out what Clive really is and where he came from?" Joseph: "Yes... but probably not in the Skyrim mod."

Lucien was first more as a bard when he was created, and was originally going to be captured by a group of bandits. The scientist side of him wasn't so much of a facet at the start but built up over time. Joseph finds it that he became more interesting versus him remaining as a bard in his first instance of creation. I do too!

Chat: If Lucien could time travel to any point back in time, where would he end up and why?

Joseph: He would go back as far as he could to the very point of creation- he wants the secrets of the cosmos, he wants to know everything he could possibly know. He'd go to the very start to possibly see the world be made and then go to the end to see how it finishes. He needs those questions answered.

Joseph himself is unsure in his memory for which Dwemer ruin he's thinking of, but chat and he tentatively think he's thinking of Mzulft for Lucien's favourite Dwemer ruin in Skyrim!

Lucien doesn't worship any Aedra or Daedra, despite his awareness of their existence, and doesn't have any favourites.

Lucien isn't really embarrassed by much outside of when he puts his foot in his mouth, says something he doesn't mean, and then gets all flustered. He also is not embarrassed about his love and affection for his parents- he's quite proud of them and is happy to share that. :) Joseph likes the idea of him getting letters from his parents over time, and hopes to put that in in the future.

Lucien would ask Sheogorath many questions the Daedric Prince would probably not answer. (That's hilarious.)

Joseph has mentioned that he plans to bring Lucien into Starfield as an older version and vaguely mention the Dragonborn but he isn't certain how he'll go about it. He was asked by chat if Clive will be in Starfield (and subsequently how he would design a spacesuit for a horse). Joseph says probably not, as Starfield likely won't support horses.

Chat: What does Lucien do when he's in Falkreath and not with the LDB? Joseph: He leads a double life... as an... assassin wizard.... squirrel trainer..........

Chat: Who would win in a fight, Lucien or Lydia? Joseph: Lydia. She would destroy him. She'd snap him like a twig.

Lucien has probably never had chocolate, but if he did, he'd love it! (Stares lovingly at my Valentine episode)

Lucien is not afraid of average sized spiders! Just the bigger ones that try to eat him.

Chat: Has Lucien ever had fear overrule his curiosity and make him back down from adventure, or is he always the type to overlook danger in favor of knowledge? Joseph: Hmm... probably not so much as fear as caution. There's a lot of knowledge related to the Daedric Princes' that he has been cautious enough not to indulge in; however I think that's always a danger for him. I think if he were ever to- you know- to have a flaw, I think it would be to... pursue knowledge too much and he might not consider the consequences as much as he should. I think that is his biggest temptation in that regard. So perhaps fear and caution should make him back down more often than it would.

(Staring HARD at that and wondering if that'll play a big part in his third arc)

His third personal quest is hoping to be released later this year!!! Big year for soft wet sock of a man!!! (I hope!! No pressure Joseph!!!)

Lucien has absolutely no want to be a werewolf or vampire because of the implications of selling his soul, but he is interested in immortality because "think of the amount of knowledge he could get."

BOY. You're gonna get conned one of these days...

Joseph is learning the guitar, and says whenever he feels he's good enough and can play the Skyrim songs on guitar, he'll record them and have Lucien be able to play them on the lute!!! Exciting!!!

Lucien isn't keen on the Thalmor but is aware of the politic need to make niceties with them.

Pretty much the end of it! I'm so excited for the third arc!! YIPPEE!

[lceblood]

That vine where it goes "I'm lesbian" followed by "I thought you were American" but it's Auri and Lucien.

[jenivere2]

a quick, little messy art of my other favourite lucien

[dxwnfxll]

Modded character: Lucien

[doshiiirak]

about my playthrough in a nutshell

[dykesstarion]

when lucien tells me he’s gonna leave the group for a bit to set up his camp at the dwarven ruin

[fromacatastrophe]

Lucien: *watches Taliesin reading, notices something*

Lucien: hmm... *writes a letter home*

Several weeks later...

Taliesin: Lucien has been acting smug and secretive lately. He's up to something, I swear it!

Dalinan: Oh, I know. Something to do with some letter he wrote; he's been shaking down every courier he sees waiting for a reply.

Caryalind: It's cute when he thinks he's being sneaky, you have to admit.

Lucien: *walks in with a parcel in hand, oblivious that his friends have been talking about him* Oh Taliesinnnn, I've got a little surprise for youuuu.

Taliesin: *opens the package warily and pulls out a pair of half-moon reading glasses* What... exactly are these?

Lucien: Put them on your face and try reading! I think you'll find you have an easier time of it with these.

Taliesin: *doesn't have to squint to read anymore* Well, they do work. But I'm sure I look absolutely ridiculous.

Dalinan and Caryalind: 😳😳😳

Taliesin : See! Those two are speechless!

Lucien: *scoffs* You're welcome.
