walkin' on the sun

fandom (or og story): The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

full name: Aldar just Aldar (doubt this guy has a clan name). Aldar Dragon-Born would be so funny

gender: cis guy (that's a man. his whole tits are out)

pronouns: he/him (guy/dude)

describe them physically: i like joking about his build because the best touchstone i had towards potential skyrim aesthetics were frank frazetta-ass dudes. as his concept has rounded out, he's gotten kinda barbie/disney princess-ass characteristics that make me laugh. this guy straight up built like one of the shredded total drama island characters i'm ngl. tall, muscular, snatched waist, axe-and-shield arms with sneak build thighs. strong features with a sloped forehead, angled jaw, and intense blue-green eyes. he's got hides and hair to his thighs.

describe how they dress: going with the caveman cloth and bare chest look, i see. that frost resistance is doing work for him. in my headspace, he's probably wearing what's closest to fur armor while in-game he's going full heavy armor (currently rocking carved nordic armor atm, level 35). for most of his life he's probably made what he wears and wears what he hunts, so he's been largely lightly armored up to this point.

favorite things: his amulet of kynareth... i've come to develop a deep reverence from Aldar to her, especially with her connection to nature, history with the thu'um, and the Nords' relationship to Kyne... i'm thinking he was already deeply connected to her (perhaps as Kyne, still learning out how the Nordic pantheon's presence has changed over time) before being captured, so having her close is a must...

least favorite things: it feels like a cop-out to say something like the dwemer or nordic ruins, but i do feel like he's not used to such cramped, damp, enclosed spaces. they're probably the places he feels the most afraid or on-edge, reflecting the complete hunter's attitude and stealth arching that happens as soon as i get in one LMAO. he much prefers the larger outdoors, no matter how threatening...

hobbies: unironically trying to think of how to incorporate jewelry making or some kind of small crafts into his character for how many freaking rings and necklaces i've been making to up my smithing LMAOOO. deffo a leatherworker, maybe a bit of a craftsman working with wood or stone... sort of a functional guy, but i could see him putting particularly detailed or pretty embellishments on his work...

quirks: he's generally not much of a talker, and i think he can look a lot more intense than he means to. years of living in the forest solo have trained him to be extremely perceptive, but i think he has difficulty adjusting to more civilized life. he definitely sucks at handling money or reading duplicitous characters at the beginning of his journey, lmao. they're just not issues he had to deal with on his own...
