#zan'sien

[sothasil]

I remember you posting a picture of one of your Khajiit OCs (an ohmes-raht, IIRC) who had just a little bob-tail. Curious if he was born with that, or if it was cut off in combat, or what.

That would be Ma'Jahrann's older brother Zan'Sien. He was born like that!

Back when I designed him, my logic was that ohmes-raht being almost human in appearance, they would not have a long flexible tail but a short one. They are closest to the ohmes who don't have tails at all. Ma'Jah on the other end is my design for a tojay-raht which are said to fare well in trees, so she's full on squirrel. This being said, Zan'Sien does have a shorter tail than average. This is approximately what they'd look like with switched furstocks according to those design rule. They are both very fluffy, but he is significantly tankier than Ma'Jah. Zan'Sien's design is very old and hasn't been updated in forever so I'm not sure if I'd design him the same today!

For comparison's purpose this is what Rakkan, who's got shorter hair, would look like:

As for why Zan'Sien's tail is so short, no idea. Bobtails and shorter tails are naturally occuring in real life domestic cats, so why not? Both his parents have very average tails.

tell us more about majah's past!

Alright!!!She grew up in a small town in eastern Pa'alatiin, on the borders of the Topal Bay. Here, life mainly evolved around sugar culture and fishing, the few activity being selling some canes to bigger settlements. Ma'Jahrann's father, Qa'Husar, was native to the region and worked there at the docks. He met (and married) his wife Elaahni during a short trip to Nequin'al during his youth. They had two children : Zan'Sien and Ma'Jahrann, born around six years apart.Ma'Jahrann is a terribly energetic and curious kid nobody can keep in one place, and she spends a lot of time walking around the fields or among the dock workers with her brother during her first years. Soon, the little world of the town isn't enough : Elaahni's sister comes to visit often with her caravan, and wild tales of foreign lands give the small Jahrann one big need for travel. She tries to escape home several times, each time going a bit further, and breaks her distance record by spending three days hidden in her aunt's caravan towards Cyrodiil. Her parents are enraged, call their Clan Mother for council, and Jahrann is told she will have to obey her parents until she's come of age and stay with them, or else sanctions will ensure.She doesn't respect that (of course) and leaves one last time, to be left the choice between being banned from travel or get thrown out. She goes for the latter, and packs her bags to set off, first towards northern Elsweyr, then to Cyrodiil. From 14 to 20 years old, she travels around Tamriel until she finds a job for Imperial foreign affairs that she'll keep. During that time, she'll have learned several languages, calligraphy and enough talking skills to master the art of diplomacy. That's about it :0 she then comes back to Elsweyr for a little while with her fam, drops her old name and continues her career in Imperial diplomatic affairs until she's like 40 and gets bored

I'm kind of a new follower so can u post a short list of them n some details? sorry I'm on mobile so I cant check to see if u have an Oc page

i actually don’t…rip me… heres a Long list

TES OCS :Ma'Jahrann, enthusiastic and bubbly khajiit youth, walks the world on her tiny little legs out of curiosity. Clever little shit like what the khajiit are the best at, but always positive! She will end up a great diplomat one day, working in the highest spheres fo the empire! Until she grows too old for that shit and starts a pirate empire with a monkey wife? But that’s for another story…

Ishma, of full name Tanishmaël, a dad-aged bosmer hermit who would have stayed alone in his remote woods if he hadn’t met a young and lost Jahrann, after rescuing her from a bandit raid. He’s a nasty little man who loves to party and hunt, agrees with Jahrann that hoarding the crowd’s attention rules, would make dick jokes every two minutes if he wasn’t mute. He is covered in tattoos, most of them that he made himself, almost all but one of a great bird of prey with spread wings on his back - he sometimes dissapears into the wilderness on moonlit nights to return covered in scars and blood, he never speaks about it, nor about the tribe he was born in and had to leave

Elaahni, Jahrann’s mother, northern elsweyri dancer of great beauty. She embodies the pride and fierceness of northern khajiit tribes, but so gracious! She knows all about the starts and the gods. She holds a million secrets. Other call is gossip but she knows best how to use them.

Qa'Husar, Jahrann’s father, a gigantic soft khajiit man with a booming laugh, gave Jahrann his zest for life and energy. He loves his family deeply and will gush about them for hours. Dockworker, then owner of a trading post in the borders of the Topal Bay, where he lives with him family

Zan'sien, Jahrann’s older bro. Monk of Mara, loves martial arts, good heart but doesn’t talk much. As fierce as the northerners. He protects the caravn of Elaahni’s sister and I shall stop the family tree here it could go on for ages

Do'Mladkam : former slave born in a Dres plantation in Black Marsh. Alfiq-raht gifted with the art of speech, which he hides. He is extremely strong and used to work as pit fighter to earn a living. He then left the province with his little brother to go live in Senchal, were he takes the lead of one of the cities’ biggest gangs. Cunning, ruthless, his goal is to find and murder the man that owned his mother - and everyone who tries to stop him doing so. The only oc i have on the “evil” side of the alignment chart. (note : his name comes from the dunmeri Molad Kham, “fighting [fang], his old nickname. nobody knows his birth name)

S'regey (from ta'agra zregey, "burnt”) : Do'Mladkam’s younger brother. Ohmes, tall, mistaken for an Altmer by most. He was raised by his brother only, who taught him how to read and write, later on teaching him magic. After being caught stealing books, he was punished by the dunmer and had half of his face burnt as punishement - thus his name. A destruction mage expert, excellent liar, acts as right hand to his brother. Not quite evil. His brother’s plans will fail and kill him, and S'regey will run away to Hammerfell with his companion.

Rezad , my canon vestige! Khajiit poet and dockworker, killed during the ritual. A peace loving, airheaded stereotype of the tumblr artsy gay. He wishes for the war to stop. When it’ll be over, he’ll start a shop and sell instruments he’ll craft. Rezad wants to be a woodworker and hope music will repair broken souls. And one day, he will sail to another continent on a ship with golden sails. Rezad loves the sea, sings to her, and never wants to leave the sound of her waves

Rakkan, my canon Nerevarine : you see garfield? Well he is now a wooping three meters tall and extremely angry and spitefull. Gigantic tiger man. Old grouch. Was arrested for resisting arrest for petty crimes, but it turned out the angry thug may have made a hole in the wall using imperial soldiers and thats mean he’s better in a rock hole with metal bars i guess…….. has terrible impulse control. After getting plucked out of his cell for a bullshit elf prophecy in a bullshit elf land, he decides to flip off God and proceeds to do a terrible job as incarnate just to spite Azura (because he can). But things happen, Nerevar’s memories take over him and he has to kill Dagoth Ur, only being he recon considered him a friend - then takes down the Almsivi for treason and fucks off to Akavir. Not evil. Just had a shit life with a short temper.

Nad, canon dovahkiin (* not a tes oc actually ill come back to that later) : big orc gal with a sweet heart, herbalist, loves children and animals, genuinely wants to help saving the world, she’s buff green and a bit naive, not the brightest but so soft and good did I tell u i love her,;,;,,,,,,, Former Telvanni slave, used for experiments, she broke out and now she’s strong and beastlike. She will end up finding a beautiful nord wife and adopting many kids and dogs in a small house by a waterfall and be happy

NON TES OCS are they even any

(*) Nadalia, the Original Nad™! From the universe of an obscure manga called Tegami Bachi. Former scientific experiment gone wrong, rogue monster lady that walks from town to town to find small jobs to earn a living. I won’t tell more because it’s linkd to the series lore that takes hours to explain

Anhzi : little grandma butch lesbian, hunter from a hunter’s tribe. Of a few words, strong and wise, a Mom if I ever saw one. She’s always on an epic quest. Uses a giant spear. Lawfully lawful good. Loves her wife Tilao with all her heart.

C.K. : another lesbian mom but this time its like those lesbian country farmers from that meme a few months ago. Instead of rural USA, she drives her (primitive!) sky bkue jeep in forests of giant trees that took over human civilization. She’s always joking and would spend her life mimicking indiana jones, if indiana jones movies had survived in the distant future she lives in. Excellent pilot, here for the laugh, loves the thrill of the risk. My first novel character! I wqs 10 :D
