         Hi! I’m 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐈 (she/her & 21+ & US Central Time). This is an 𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐄 & 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐄 roleplay/writing blog for an original character that has been in development for over a decade now; I created her around the year 2009 and started writing her on tumblr in 2016, though it’s been a while since I’ve had her on her own blog. This blog contains content that may potentially be triggering, so please explore at your own discretion and read the rules before interacting. I will 𝐍𝐎𝐓 be interacting with minors here, and I will only be interacting with  𝐌𝐔𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐒 (I follow you + you follow me) for the sake of my comfort.

         I am 𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄 and 𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏. Daeris is originally based in the  𝐄𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐒 franchise, but I also currently have developed verses for her in 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐆𝐄, 𝐃𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐋 𝐌𝐀𝐘 𝐂𝐑𝐘, and 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐊𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐀𝐓. If your muse does not share one of those verses, that’s okay! I’m willing to come up with verses on the fly so we can interact. Last thing of note is that I am a very shy person with social anxiety that I am trying to overcome, and I am literally the Worst™ at initiating conversations with people, so please don’t be afraid to message me at any time if we’re mutuals. Anyway, on to the links now, and remember: let’s keep this space fun and safe for all of us, loves! ♥️

Anonymous said: Headcanon + other demiprinces

          Daeris’s overall feelings on demiprinces are mixed. There is a degree of distrust towards them because of their parentage until she can figure out their true motivations and how loyal they are to their Daedric parent. Loyalty to their Daedric parent is a red flag but it also doesn’t automatically make her turn against them, either, though it does make it harder for her to trust them until she gets a true sense of who they are as a person. On the other hand, she has a considerable amount of empathy for other demiprinces, especially ones that have strained relationships with their Daedric parent as she understands all too well the complicated dynamics that exist when you grow up as the child of a Daedric Prince.

          Speaking in terms of her canon verse in ESO, she hasn’t encountered many demiprinces in her time because, quite frankly, they’re exceedingly rare, but the Planemeld was bound to see her come across some more powerful individuals, and there were a few demiprinces among that number. Of course, not all were true demiprinces in the sense that they contain a magnitude of power that could potentially rival a Daedric Prince. Two of them were strong foes: Molag Grunda and Ozzozachar, the children of Molag Bal. Another of much greater power (so much so that he commanded his own plane of Oblivion) was Fa-Nuit-Hen, who she would say she’s on friendly terms with.

          And then there’s Darien. It’s not 100% confirmed that Darien is actually a demiprince, but it’s largely implied and honestly I believe it. Like, it’s about 99% most likely to be true. If Darien is a demiprince, then her most positive interactions with a demiprince have been with him. To be fair, she’s also had the most positive interactions with him as a person in general consider the influence he had in turning her away from both the Dark Brotherhood and Nocturnal. He was the exact opposite of Daeris. Daeris knew of her parentage from the beginning, was set on a dark path as an assassin in early childhood, and was guided by Nocturnal in order to fulfill the destiny she’d planned for her. Darien knew nothing of his true origin, was raised by an honorable and heroic mortal father who inspired him to follow in his footsteps, only realized his true nature after his powers began manifesting during the Planemeld, and actively fought against Meridia’s machinations when he felt they were unjust. She fell in love with him, and he inspired her to choose her own path in life rather than having her mother dictate it for her. He sacrificed himself at the end of Summerset, but because he’s a demiprince, she still holds out hope that he’ll come back somehow or that she can bring him back by force once she’s strong enough. There’s also a nihilistic part of her that’s traumatized by losing him twice and thinks that this time it may be for good. We’ll see. 

          So, overall, I’d say she treats other demiprinces the same way she would treat anyone, mortal or not, but because she knows there is a possible allegiance to a dark force, she does tend to err on the side of caution. She doesn’t automatically write other demiprinces off as enemies because of her encounters with people like Darien or Fa-Nuit-Hen, but she also knows not to take other demiprinces lightly because she’s encountered powerful enemies like the children of Molag Bal. Their demiprince status is only one part of their identity; she needs to see more of who they truly are before she can form a solid opinion of them, just as she would for a mortal.

“Not getting sea-sick, I hope.” The Captain’s voice piped up behind her, the dull thuds of his footsteps slow and even. “The water’s only going to get choppier, the longer we’re out here.” And they were some ways to go yet. Almost a week until they reached Jader.

           ❝ Not sea-sick, Captain. ❞  Her head, comfortably nestled into the crooks of her crossed arms, raises at his voice to see who approaches her. Hands press against wooden planks as she pushes herself to her feet to greet him properly; respect that was due to the captain of this vessel.  ❝ Just didn’t sleep well last night. Figured I’d hide back here in the corner out of everyone’s way and have a rest, but it’s not working. I’m starting to think maybe I should just keep myself busy. ❞

;; – “ It’s the necromancy, my dear. It does wonder for ones complexion. “ hardly the truth, but Orion was starting to dabble in things darker ever since Stendarr left her behind. The Paladin’s armor no longer fits her ; it falls right off every time she tried to put it on, scorn made evident in the refusal to protect her but she’s managed well enough, dressed head to toe in near luxurious fabrics that paint her a mage rather than a warrior. The claim piqued her interest though, her position at the table shifted – turning to face the other at the door before she beckoned her to join. “ Maybe it should, but I’m curious now ; have you ever run into any of these pretenders? Were they interesting at all– anyone bearing even a relative resemblance? Did you seek them out to find me? ”

           ❝ You were once called a holy crusader, and now you’re breaking bread with assassins, dabbling in necromancy, and communing with death? That’s quite the lifestyle change. Most people just clean out their cupboards or move cities.❞  Daeris prided herself on being able to read people, but Orion was an enigma. She once thought herself familiar with the Hero of Kvatch and her inclinations if only from the perspective of a predator learning their would-be prey, but one failed assassination attempt and two hundred years of changes only proved to her that she knew NOTHING about Orion.  

          ❝ AND? What if I did look for you? ❞ A coy smile spreads across her red lips. When Orion beckons her, she approaches the table with the slow, lazy amble of a cat rising from its place of rest. Orion was her ally now, thus she sets herself at ease, but it was impossible to forget the feeling of pure adrenaline that flushed through her veins when they met in combat that fateful night.  ❝ There were several leads I tracked, especially for the first few decades. The memory was fresh in the public’s mind, thus some had more credible information. But it didn’t take long for legends to muddle the truth, and it became easier to pick out the liars without further investigation as time passed. Some managed to dazzle the public, but unfortunately, all turned out to be disappointments in the end. NONE could come close to matching you. ❞
