Marigold: *walking out of the throne room in understone keep, right into Ondolemar* oh forgive me-

Ondolemar: you are-… Alive?! Young Lord Varla is that you?!

Marigold: *looks up at him slightly* yes, Ondolemar was it? You were one of my fathers associates…

Ondolemar: wer- I… yes… *sighs* my heart breaks for you. I’m sure you’re aware of what happened to him and your mother.

Marigold: *sighs* yes, I am indeed. If I didn’t have affairs here in skyrim that needed my attention I’d of taken the first ship back to Alinor upon finding out. I- *makes his eyes water up and sniffles putting on a convincing emotional act* I heard it was an assassination but nobody would give me the details.

Ondolemar: It was… Gruesome… When your body wasn’t found, lord thallery sent word to every justiciar to find you… How did you end up in skyrim?

Marigold: I took a ship to Cyrodiil and from there to Windhelm. I’m studying dwemer Magic’s and their ruins placements across tambriel. I believe they were tapping into the same energy vein Shalidor did. When I left father told me he’d put all my affairs in order and inform Ancano our courtship would be put on hiatus until my return… I couldn’t tell him myself, he’d only try to stop me… *sighs* I wish I’d given mother one more hug before I left… *wipes his eyes on his sleeve as he starts to cry, tricking the older Altmer easily*

Ondolemar: *gently pats his shoulder* I’m sure she knows you loved her regardless. *sighs* but I’m glad you came here on your own accord, not kidnapped like everyone feared… *offers him a handkerchief*

Marigold: *sniffles and takes it drying his eyes* thank you… forgive me, I’m unsightly to be seen in this state- *rubs his face* I am glad to have run into you so far from home, I’ll get out of your hair now.

Ondolemar: I- where are you headed if I may ask?…

Marigold: oh, I’m staying in Markarth this evening then leaving for a dwemer ruin in the morning. Why?

Ondolemar: I was hoping you’d join me for dinner actually, I figured we could have a drink to remember your parents, and it’s rare I get to have such pleasant familiar company.

Marigold: I- *knowing if he says no he’ll send someone to spy on him* yes… I’d really like that actually… Skyrim is… full of people but few friendly faces… I’ll be here tonight.

Ondolemar: splendid. I look forward to it. *takes his hand giving it a kiss*

Marigold: *smiles awkwardly up at him before bowing his head and hurrying off down the stairs and through the corridor* oooh fuck that was close? Guys?

Caryalind, Kaidan, & Taliesin: *all hiding against the walls hoping Ondolemar didn’t follow him down*

Yaksha: *also against the wall not knowing why they’re doing it but wanting to be included* over here-

Marigold: *turns around to see them* oh there you are- So good news and bad news. Good news is the jarls payout for killing the forsworn was massive. And bad news, my fathers creepy associate Ondolemar invited me to dinner and if I declined-

Caryalind: spy?

Marigold: bingo.

Taliesin: this is bad-

Marigold: buuuut- *holds up the handkerchief* if I plant this in the silverbloods home-

Kaidan: we can try to get him arrested?

Marigold: yep! Now let’s get out of here before he catches me with a deserter an Akaviri and the runaway prince.

Obsidian is my ex Ashlander Dragonborn. I made her at the ripe age of 9 years old, so thought it'd make her so different to be really tall. It's so woven into her character now, I've just learned to live with it. There's no in canon explanation for why she's so tall. Maybe it's the dragon blood. Who knows? I like to imagine that no one ever questions it 😂 Thankfully one of her husbands Alessandre ( @moffkyng 's OC) is a half giant, so she has someone else to share her oversized furniture with. Happy ending for her. Not so happy for anyone she's charging at on the battlefield.

Vorcano is my Altmer vampire. Being alive since the 2nd era might drive a man insane with boredom sometimes. So instead of taking up knitting, he decided to start teaching Daedrology and working with Hermaeus Mora in exchange for knowledge. In the 4th era, a runaway child arrives at his doorstep (a present from Mora himself) and he decides to adopt her and pass on his love for the Daedra onto her. He decided to name her Obsidian because of her grey skin and purple eyes. World's best dad award.

Hefdet is my Unbound Dremora OC. You know in The unmarked College of Wintehold quest where you have to beat the living daylights out of a Dremora to get you a sigil stone? That's him. Poor guy saw a hot goth dunmer mommy and decided to quite literally change his life. Bro is diwn bad. He doesn't experience mortal emotions, traditional concept of love included, but he tries his best. His relationship to Obsidian started as very awkward and confusing, but they both find genuine peace in one another. The locals of Skyrim have simply adjusted to their giant saviour and the angry looking Daedra she always has in tow. A match made in Oblivion if you will. Unofficially married in Solstheim, they regard each other as a spouse but maintain an open relationship with others. Tamriels weirdest but wholesome polycule award goes to...

Just for fun, here's a height comparison chart for the OCs I've drawn:

Lilli's height only makes her more terrifying lmfao

How tall are your TES OCs? I wanna see comparisons!!

His reference sheet is finally complete!  ✨ Additional Info below! ↴

Race: Altmer, Vampire Gender: Genderqueer/Fluid Pronouns: Any Spouse: Vilkas (👉👈)

Appearance: A fairly tall elf with long silky walnut-colored hair and pierced ears, a scar across the left side of his lip and right eye. Thin eyebrows and facial hair consisting of a medium/long stubble.

Weapons: One-handed Swords or daggers, Conjuration & Illusion magic

Symbolism: Magpies, rings/coins, red crescent.

Songs:  Ashbury Heights - if you're shooting  \  Younger Hunger - Fangs \ The Kills - Siberian Nights 

About: A charismatic flirt, cunning and curious. A runaway with a long criminal past as a thief, bandit and pirate - never stayed too long in any group or place to call family or a home until stumbling upon the Thieves Guild in Riften, and later, The Companions in Whiterun. He became a vampire after contracting Sanguinare Vampiris in one of his lone missions, untreated, he eventually became a full vampire. Views the vampirism as a karma that he could've excepted considering his decision to live off thievery and sneaking, doesn't fully accept it, but learns to live with it - to lessen the symptoms and harm of his condition, he feeds on partners, regardless of gender, that he'd flirt and seduce in different inns and taverns he'd stay at when they're asleep or consenting to his bite. Indulges in curious potion-mixing and enchantments to compensate to the weaknesses of vampirism as well. Loves shiny things, just like a magpie, collector of rings and precious gems. Holds the belief that jewelry is a much better use of metal and stone than any blood-shedding weapon.

Meet Wysteria. She’s a middle-aged Altmer with an affinity for alchemy and conjuring. A runaway from the Summerset Isles, she has been in Skyrim a long time. She’s tired, alright? Forgive her if she’s a bit grumpy.

Art credit to the lovely @thecrownini , who did such a good job with my favorite OC <3

[clavicus-vial]

Personal OCs list~~~

Avygnor- an altmer who works for the thalmor as a field transcriber/translator. born in a relatively low class and feels good about managing to find a position in the Thalmor but would still like to be higher up. Just does what he's told. Devotee of Xarxes.

Karen- female orc dragonborn raised in the Riften orphanage, hence the... Unusual name. She killed Grelod the Kind but didn't join the DB LOL. A true Neutral good character, didn't get involved in that DB or thieves guild, sided with the dawnguard, etc.

To be named- dunmer nerevarine born in Windhelm. His parents were also born in Windhelm, they were the only dunmer family there at the time. One pair of his grandparents were merchants from house Hlaalu and the other pair were a runaways, a Telvanni with no magical ability and a tribunal worshipping Ashlander. Grew up worshipping the Tribunal and eventually got arrested after being framed for theft while trying to head to Vivec City.

[kagrenacs]

The Altmer's racism while I played Khajiit got me really pissed off, but at the same time it's so great to know that their now champion, guardian and lover of the queen is a Khajiit

Raz is genuinely one of my favorite characters, he’s funny, well rounded (what’s cooler than a khajiit ex-sailor, don’t quote me on that I can’t remember his story, who met up with a runaway queen, dated her, and is now one of the top members of her spy organization, he’s cat james bond) And I haven’t played Elsweyr, but Kharmina seems to be a very interesting character. Eso isn’t perfect but they did well on making cool and relatable khajiit characters

[therunawayscamp]

Kylmia 'av Russawel Glathemath 'ye Varlaire-Admanenthar 'aba Alaxonfeld-Gaendral Adonire Heculius Lattalor-El, known as Lady Kylmia to her friends, enemies, and everybody in between who couldn't spare ten mintues out of their day to pronounce her surname, was a refugee from the Summerset Isles. So Sham had said. R'khan was inclined to believe her, although he had never before known a refugee who was not only in possession of a mansion, extensive gardens, and enough money to throw a soirée for all the nobility of High Rock, but who had also avoided being murdered by the Thalmor.

The circumstances of the Scamps receiving an invitation were somewhat suspect, too. Shamilia's family in the Isles were a mongrel assortment of half-bloods, whose only claim to fame was their merchant ties, and the upper echelons of Altmer society were unlikely to pay them any attention -- least of all their runaway daughter and her unsavoury associates. A party was a party, however, and if exiled nobility felt inclined to amuse themselves with the antics of sailors, the crew were glad to oblige, particularly when Sham threatened to bludgeon the fingers of anybody who denied her the chance to hear news about her family.

Impressively, they were being given a run for their money. Springwater wine flowed freely from a crystal fountain in the centre of the mansion's hall and trickled through the warm, golden candlelight. Servants were placed at strategic points around the room, each one holding a silver and glass ewers, cut to perfection, the silver shaped into vines and flowers, and glowing to the brim with metheglin. Somewhere there was the smoky smell of Crystal Tower Whiskey, although this was more discreet and Braskan had been spotted doing his utmost to deplete the supply.

Guests Lady Kylmia particularly approved of were eventually guided through the hall and into an adjoining lounge, hung on every wall with fine silk tapestries, all obscured by a fine pink mist and a general haze of debauchery. Naked golden bodies stretched out beside sweating grey skin, slick fur and sparkling scales, and that was only what was on display, what hadn't been hidden behind the drapes. A few of these remarkably friendly individuals pressed themselves against R'khan as he entered the room himself, but he slipped past them and aimed for a pair of double doors on the opposite wall, held open to the stars and the moonlit garden.

He had only been in the lounge for a minute, only the time it took to push through the pulsating, writhing crowd, but he breathed in the night like a drowning man. There was music somewhere distant. It became more distant still as R'khan strolled past the marble bowls full of living flowers, past the couples hidden in rose bowers, around a vast, dark pond, and down a corridor of shrubbery, until he reached an orchard. It was full of apple trees. They were still and quiet, undisturbed by winds or the music. And he was not alone.

The flare and hush of someone lighting a roll of hackle-lo gave him away. R'khan stopped beside a tree, then eased. Only one person would bump his head on a low-hanging branch and curse in such a distinctive Solstheim accent.

'All right, Vi?'

There was a thump as Vilayn turned his head and succeeded in knocking an apple to the ground. Like R'khan, he relaxed when he identified his companion, and ambled down the alley of trees to join him. When he drew level he held out the hackle-lo, which R'khan took, and produced a second for himself.

'Right enough,' he said, and sighed out his first drag on the hackle-lo. R'khan watched the embers light up the smoke.

'Didn't think you'd be out here. Where there's debauchery, you ain't usually far. Don't tell me you're shot away already.'

'No, but Lady Kylmia did invite me to snort moon sugar off a mirror while her admittedly rather handsome cousin sucked my--'

'Vi.'

'--and a very pretty Bosmer tied up my hands and--'

'Vi.'

'--me from behind, but when she suggested it I just felt... tired. Old. How long are we going to keep asking Vilveriah for more time? How long do we keep doing this?'

R'khan puffed on his hackle-lo a few times, then bent down to pick up the fallen apple. It came up wet with dew, which showered over his sleeve as he tossed it in the air a few times.

'Vilayn.'

'What?'

'You don't snort moon sugar.'

'That was the other reason I said no.'

Lady Kylmia wouldn't miss one fruit. R'khan pocketed the apple and chose to savour the rest of the hackle-lo rather than reply immediately. Vilayn did the same, and a companionable silence, broken only by an occasional rustle of leaves or sigh of smoke from between their lips, closed in around them.

When the hackle-lo was finished and everything was dark, when his face was hidden, R'khan said,

'Your answer is forever. There ain't no fate worse than death.'

'Not even carrying on after everyone else is gone? The Admiral. Your boy. Casethar and-- and Hazil.'

R'khan would have answered. Definitely. The words were on the tip of his tongue, of course they were, about to be spoken at any second, when the sound of somebody else crunching through the grass distracted him and forced them out of his mind, saving him the trouble.

Both his head and Vilayn's turned towards the noise. A few seconds later, Sham stepped into the moonlight. She was dressed for a party, sailor slops discarded in favour of a silver gown, carpentry tools swapped for an equally lethal array of hairpins, boots for silk slippers. The latter sank into the earth when she came to a stop.

'What are you doing out here?'

Even her voice had changed to suit the occasion. She had returned to her old accent, the haughty tones of an Altmer to whom the mightiest of the Daedra were considered part of the great unwashed rabble, and it was hard to drop it at short notice.

'Smoking,' said Vilayn.

'Mebbe I could ask you the same question,' said R'khan. Sham paused, then leaned against a tree, kicking off the slippers and digging her toes into the dirt.

'If you must know, captain, I asked Lady Kylmia about my family.' She turned her face upwards to look at the sky. The moonlight brought out more of the grey in her skin than the gold. 'They're gone. Nobody knows whether they escaped in the night or whether they were rounded up by the Thalmor. They just... disappeared, not long after I left, and nobody's heard anything about them since.'

'I'm sorry, lass.'

It was rare for the captain to offer sincere sympathy, and its emergence now was spoiled by a crash from the direction of the house and the sound of somebody stomping through the rose bowers, throwing something in the pond, and approaching the orchard. Vilayn lowered his hackle-lo and looked up sharply. Sham ignored the sound.

'Does it matter, though?' she asked, her lip curled and sour. 'Really? Even if they made it out, they would have been killed somewhere else. You heard about the Night of Green Fire, right? All the refugees in Sentinel, dead. And I've known it all the fucking time, haven't I? I just didn't want to believe it, so I didn't fucking think about it. They're dead. All of them.'

If it was rare for the captain to offer sympathy, it was even rarer for Sham to admit any weakness or sentimentality. She stood, shoeless, trembling, with her hands knotted into tight, angry fists. After decades of cramming these thoughts away into the depths of her psyche, they were all trying to erupt at once, and the only thing stopping them was deciding which to start with. She looked as if a single touch would cause her to explode, or shatter, or fold onto the ground and sob.

And then Braskan arrived. He walked into a tree, bellowed an incoherent insult at it, and stank so strongly of whiskey the apples withered on the branch. It was wonderfully, gloriously normal.

'Ah, wha's ya fuckin' s'wits doin' out in th'fuckin' dark, ya fuckin', fuckin'... s'wits? I's lookin' fer me shipmates and all a' ya's gone an' fucked off!'

The change in Sham was instant. Braskan's total ignorance of the scene playing out before him did what no amount of words and consolation could have. She grabbed him by the shoulder and gave him a shake, leaving her arm slung around his neck.

'You're the fucking s'wit, you s'wit! Came all the way out here and you ain't got any booze for us?'

'Nah, they’s all on th’skooma, isn’ they? I ain’t inta tha’ shit. I’s got fuckin’ class.’

He paused to belch, which gave Sham an opportunity to jump in again. Although she addressed Braskan, she stared at R’khan and Vilayn, daring them to mention her momentary failure.

‘Never used to bother you in Oblivion’s Gate.’

‘Aye, but tha’ don’ figure now Hlen’s gone, do it? Things jus’ ain’t the same these days. They jus’ ain’t the same.’

Before a third person could join the melancholy, Sham punched his shoulder, then kicked him in the leg for good measure. The last of her  stamped down the last of her worries and fears were stamped down out of sight.

‘Then go find the kitchens while they ain’t looking.’

‘They ain’ got no more booze, anyway. Finished it, din’ I?’

'Guarshit, you just don't want to share it. Bet you I can get a drink soon's I'm in the door.'

'Not if I gets there firs'!'

There was no particular hurry to try and beat Braskan, who, with no outside interference, looped around a few of the trees several times before stumbling towards the exit of the orchard. Sham took a few steps barefoot, stopped as if she was going to say something, but never turned around and never spoke a word. R'khan watched her shoulders lift as she took a deep breath, and then she was running, laughing at Braskan, hauling him forwards by the scruff of his coat.

The air had changed. It was hot and humid outside, despite the sea breeze and the darkness. Vilayn stamped his hackle-lo into the ground and picked up Sham's slippers.

'We'd better go back too. Make sure they don't break anything too expensive.'

After a pause, R'khan nodded. They walked through the gardens in silence, leaving the orchard, the pond, and the things they couldn't say behind.

[fireintheforest]

Sera Saufinril, aren't you worried about the Thalmor? How about your adoptive "dad"? He after all is a freak (in Thalmor eyes) who not only married same sex but also a lesser race.

Well, yes. 

One is concerned about the Thalmor. Is one worried about Lillandril? Yes. One does. Granted, Lillandril has his tricks up his sleeve regarding the Thalmor, so that eases one’s anxieties considerably. When you live through each and every single era in Nirn, you’re bound to learn some strategies to use. Technically, he saw the birth of Nirn, he knows well what will happen. And Rialas, well, one wouldn’t mess with him. If the Thalmor want to, that’s up to them. Nobody will miss them.

Yes, one is concerned about the Thalmor. One has been concerned about them (and the Military overall) since one arrived to mainland the first time. Lillandril is a “traitor to the Isles and the Altmer linneage” and one is a runaway that also is attracted to the same sex. One has some heavy reasons to be wary of the Thalmor, especially with their presence in Valenwood and as of lately, going more and more north-wise.

[the-skooma-den]

threw together a couple headshots of Syke cause i wanted to do a proper profile of her, so anyone curious about the character i spend so much time ranting about and drawing thats gonna be under the read more

Part 2 here 

directory to all posts about her and her siblings are here

Real Name: Ava Aurelia Cassia Camoran Tharn Latona. she has an untold amount fake names and identities for a wide variety of purposes, Nowadays she mainly goes by Syke Ivywood, and thats what most of the Dominion knows her as (and is also her in game name)

Age: turned 28 right around when the main plot started. I assume years pass through the DLC’s, including one year where she does the mages and fighters guild quest as well as a bunch of quests.

Race: Imperial. Her father was a bosmer and she takes heavily after him. Her grandpas a Khajiit, which is only relevant here because her dad took heavily after his dad. Hence syke’s weirdly golden eyes and slightly to sharp teeth. 

Class: Nightblade, focus on siphoning magic

Personality: One might look at her usual scowl and her serious demeanor and assume she's the typical lone wolf edgy assassin, and they’re only really half wrong. She’s not a loner by choice,she doesn’t hate people really, shes just not great at interacting with people. Anyone who knows who she actually is tend to be scared of her (even other members of the brotherhood) and that's not great for ones self confidence. In a few words, she’s just awkward and extremely introverted. That being said she is kinda grumpy, but if an evil god stole your soul you would be to.

As for the series Demeanor, that really just her face. She’s just not a smiley person ya know? She just as an incredibly flat affect and it either takes really strong emotions or a lot of effort on her part to break it. She’s actually pretty damn nice, even if she doesn’t really “get” a lot of social norms.Being raised in a assassin cult worshiping the void can do that to a girl.

What also does not help the usual perception of her, is her Bad temper and very very low bullshit tolerance. She’s not hard to piss off and it can be explosive. Usually not the yelling and screaming explosive but the getting right up in your face out of nowhere and quietly informing you that if you say one more word she’ll individually break every bone in your hand type way.

She’s what her mother would kindly call “strong willed” and what everyone else would call debilitatingly stubborn . Keeping in mind this is a woman who was wronged by what is essentially the demon god king of domination and then decided “I’m going to kick his ass” and then did. For good or ill she rarely if ever gives up.

Due to the fact she is technically a noblewoman, she tends to be extremely private as well. The other Cyrodilic nobles know of her and her family, but just know them as the family that for the most part gave up their titles and have no intention of trying to get them back, they have no idea that theyre a whole family of assassin in the Dark brotherhood. That does not mean that they ignore her or her family as even if her family doesn’t want the titles the fact they exist can mess up others claims to the throne.Especially Ava who suffice to say has a pretty decent claim to several very important titles. This has lead her to take on a variety of different fake names and wearing different masks to avoid being recognized both in her daily life and in jobs for the brotherhood...at least at first.

As it turned out she's a natural actor with one hell of a flair for the dramatic. She may have issues interacting with people as herself, but she finds it easier when pretending to be someone else. She got so into it that she has whole characters that she pretends to be for all kinds of purposes, like say if she needs access to mages or fighters guild resources or if a particular job for the brotherhood calls to act as a maid for a little bit.

as for how the Dominion crew know her, well they actually come closer to knowing her then most. When Raz dragged her out of the ocean at Khenarthis roost she was so out of it she was barely able to come up with a fake name let alone a whole character, so they all end up genuinely knowing her as she truly is. Turns out she doesn’t mind that as much as she thought she would.

Backstory (before the main plot): She’s a third generation member of the Dark brotherhood, and most of her direct family (siblings, parents, aunt and one set of grandparents) are apart of it. Her grandmother, A Bosmer noble named Cassa, married an Imperial nobleman when she was pretty young. Cassa wanted to get out of Valenwood and her husband was looking for a way to rebel against his family and found it in a hot bosmer lady. They ended up having one kid together, Lara

A few years later Cassa ends up falling in with and getting pregnant by a khajiiti baker her husband hired, and her husband is not to happy about that to say the least.  He fires and sends the Khajiit away and Cassa is less then happy about that as well. She kills her husband and so convincingly makes it look like an accident that if the brotherhood hadn't already had a contract out on him no one would have ever known it was murder. 

So Cassa ends up joining the brotherhood after her second kid by the khajiit man was born. She never really connected with the bosmeri pantheon or the Green pact, and she ends up taking to Sithis real well. She also as soon as she was able went to find her love and they were married as soon as possible. They all lived in Valenwood for a number of years and both her kids grew up in the brotherhood as well. 

 Eventually the younger one son, Tanis, marries an Imperial woman,Livillia. Also a runaway noblewoman,her mother was friends with Cassa and she was seeking sanctuary with her. Livillia is specifically one of Abnur Tharns kids, who no longer wanted to deal with the Tharn family drama. 

They have a kid together (That is of course Ava). Tanis’s older sister and Cassa’s first child, Lara, has a one night stand with an Altmer and has her own kid who she names Ceryneian (or Nia for short). And they all live pretty happily for a while, as far as anyone knew the family was just a bunch of nobodies, rich nobodies who kept all hours but still just nobodies. They had for the most part completely abandoned all noble titles, even if the nobles weren’t done with them.

When Ava was about 10 years old her great aunt Cilvia tharn found out that Livillia was still alive. She was well aware that if she tried to do anything to Elsweyr Livillia would likely act against her. Livillia may be a member of the brotherhood, but she wasnt completely evil. Cilcvia sent assassins after Ava’s parents, they missed her but her parents were taken by surprise and sadly killed. None of her family felt right staying in valenwood anymore, So Lara took Ava in and moved to the Gold coast where she had spent her early childhood and had inherited some estate.  Her grandparents Moved to Elsweyr and both Ava and Nia would spend summers there as kids. 

So Ava ends up “officially” a member of the brotherhood ,after toddling around the sanctuaries her whole life, at about 15 years old, and was never prouder. Normally they wouldn’t have let someone so young in but once again, she had literally been toddling in sanctuaries, they figured it was fine.

On one of her first genuinely dangerous missions, to kill a necromancer in Northern Elsweyr (chaperoned by her grandma of course), she came across one of said necromancers future sacrifices. This sacrifice happened to be a 13 year old khajiit boy named Thera (later going by Jo’Thera)  with some odd fur patterns, and fuck man he was just a kid (granted shes only a couple years older then him) and Ava couldn’t just leave him there alone. Ava saved him and took her back to Anvil with her after she killed the necromancer as according to the kid, he didn’t have a family or anywhere to go. Lara hears the kids story and is just like…. Welp… guess i got a 3rd kid now.  (as Thera grows up if there's one thing he gets from his adopted family its a love for drama and dramatic irony. He takes to necromancy pretty quickly)

That peace continued for a few years until she was about 19. At 19 years old she got the offer to join the Psijic order, Not because she was particularly powerful or even all that good at magic (at the time of course, she gets much better later), but due to her lack of formal teaching she had her own odd way of casting and working with it that caught their attention. Basically imagine that she did a really complicated math problem wrong, but ended up with the right answer and somehow accidentally discovered a new much easier formula to that particular problem, she did the magic version of that and showed a lot of potential even outside of that.

Then she said no, she was happy in the brotherhood and her current life and she saw no reason to leave

When Ava was about 20 years old, Nia ran away because, well she wasn't as fond of the brotherhood as her mother or cousin, and its not exactly something you can just quit and walk away from. It broke the whole families heart of course but Ava took it particularly hard. She had considered her and had been referring to her as her sister even before her parents death

What really set it all off though was when Nia popped up again alive and well in Valenwood using the last name of their grandmothers family. She didn’t send them a message or anything, it just got to them by word of mouth because Nia had disowned them and been talking shit about them. After she ran away she went back down to Valenwood to claim the title that was rightfully hers, it turns out that she had found proof of her birthright and between that and her uncanny resemblance to her grandmother she barely had to be questioned. 

So Nia is in Valenwood with her relatives and had completely disowned the entire rest of her family. Her grandmother, Her mother and her (now deceased) Aunt and Uncle, and Ava and their brother as well. she never made any concrete statement as to why per say outside of “Not wanting to go down the same path as the rest of her family” which most people assumed meant completely abandoning their noble heritage and titles, not to mention their bosmeri heritage as well (which was partially true, but it was mostly about the whole murder cult thing). So yeah, Lara was heartbroken and Ava was pissed off to oblivion and back and Jo’thera....he was just hurt, but all decided that if that was where Nia wanted to be they weren’t going to drag her back.

At about 23 Ava met her first real significant other, A Dunmeri noble. It didnt go well for either of them really, lots of drugs, lots of unhealthy coping mechanisms, lots of secrets. not a good time. 2 years later, The Dunmer actually proposes to Ava, and Ava not only says yes but Ava tells her everything about the brotherhood, her own noble status, all of it. The Dunmer seems okay with it at first, and admits she kinda suspected who Ava’s family was based on the little she spoke about it, The brotherhood was the real surprising part there. The knife in Ava’s stomach later that night Makes it clear what she thought about that. So it was a messier breakup then most.  

Ava doesnt like to speak much of the relationship, but it hurt her more then she lets on and makes her more nervous then ever to be in a real romantic relationship 

Well after that mess Ava threw herself back into the brotherhood hardcore and also into hardcore drugs and alcohol.for about 5 years. Over those 5 years between the Dunmer incident, a lot of self reflection, and all sorts of anxieties she’s an unstable mess. Like verge of a mental breakdown type of mess. 

When she was kidnapped and later sacrificed by the wormcult many who knew her assumed that she had offed herself for good. She was gone for long enough that even her own family started to assume the worst

Thank you @fruit-preserves-pal for indulging me. Her name is Ariya and she's an altmer who pretty much comes from nothing. She grew up in the slums of an overcrowded imperial city. Her mum was a runaway from the mage college who ran an underground illegal magics business.

Ariya is a bitter and apathetic woman. She struggles heavily with addiction problems and has a taste for the dark arts (her mum had a necromancy grimoire she found as a little girl and obsessed over). She gets good at stealing to survive.

Eventually she finds herself in a dangerous situation with some imperial guards, end ends up killing a few in self defense. She gets the hell outta there and starts hightailing it to make it to skyrim, where she gets picked up and the events of the game begin.

She essentially avoids the main quest at any cost. She wants to start over and make a real life for herself. She starts an alchemy business out of her home in winterhold, and hunts game/explores in her free time.

However she has self destructive tendencies, and ends up joining up with the thieves guild.

My plans for her is that she is going to become a master thief and big ol crime boss before she actually goes through the main storyline. :0 give her a bit of a heroes redemption, yknow?

Its not so much she secretly has a heart of gold underneath? Its more like if she had been allowed to flourish under different circumstances she would have been a very different, and good person. She wants to be good but doesn't believe she's worthy of it, doesn't believe she deserves all the chances she's been given (which is why she keeps making bad decisions left and right, until the end)

Some1 rant abt skyrim w me 😳

Let's do 3 for Ayner, wanna know his past 👉👈

3. Where was your Dragonborn born? In Skyrim, Tamriel, or someplace else?

Despite his high charisma and liking of good company nowadays, Ayner doesn't speak often of his past, and prefers to live as if he had not known it.

"Leaving Summerset Isles at an age far too young to be sneaking on a Merchant's ship to escape into a new life, he had experienced enough to grow both vary of others, and particularly skilled at sharpening his speechcraft a well as his weapon." - copied from the answer to a previous question over here

In his childhood surroundings, he quickly learned ways of lies and manipulation, asserting authority and trickery - but all that was presented as noble and correct by those in his proximity. His observed experience helped him to bargain through and make his place in Merchant ships, gaining trust of the crew with enough confidence to carry his disguise despite remaining being undocumented in the Empire. Soon enough, his liking to trinkets and gold as well as a radical desire to be free on land than at sea - he webbed himself into deeper trouble having dealt with pirates for long enough to cost him his comfortable position. Becoming a runaway criminal, he took part in many teams - be it with those said pirates, then bandits, lone-thieves, and occasionally a wealthy crook that he'd never miss the opportunity on backstabbing by securing himself a few more treasures than the original payment for his shadow work.

Despite being an Altmer, he has a particular detachment and spiteful disdain towards his kin, for the same unhealed reasons behind his leave so far ago. And so, he carries his face unshaved, and had pierced his ears long in the backside of a Khajiit caravan in trade for some coin and skooma.

He would rather erase his past of any elite-related or Altmer familiarity and embraced himself fully as a shadow, and a thief. That's the past that he can accept, despite the various regrets and guilts weighting on his conscious, he was rather determined to live a life governed by no-one, not an army, not the Thalmor, not the Empire, no king and no guard, but his own choice - and if that meant to do what he did for survival, so be it.

Though, there were actions and deeds he never found true resolution with, a weight that lured his self-apathy to stay untreated when in one of his missions, he had contracted Sanguinare Vampiris. He gave in to the disease and the growing weakness of his body to sunlight and commitment to a life of further secrets to carry as he believes he had earned to suffer the wrath of Auri-El's light for his actions and neglect of what his ancestors would have excepted him to become.

the chaotic travelling show of cyrodiil and morrowind, featuring:

revus, a stoic dunmeri thief and musician who is a former buoyant armiger

ka'shari, a khajiit con artist who makes the BEST food you've ever tasted

carasa, an altmer mage who may or may not have a very large crush on revus

emilia, a runaway breton noble,

and last but not least, adrien, a half-dunmer half-nord child adopted by them all, who once stole from a telvanni mage and was thusly turned into a scrib for a few weeks
