#doht

Doht is a unique construct of the Shivering Isles, first created when Dust began to train under Relmyna in order to take revenge on the Vigil. He, like her, was made as a weapon - a shell of flesh, grown via magical means, constructed just so and bound with a Daedric soul. In their centuries working together, Dust became fond of Doht, and he in turn has shown his own quiet loyalty to her.

The hound’s soul comes from one of many similar beings of other planes, a ‘Hell Hound’ Daedra. Given what he is, it is impossible for Doht’s spirit to die, persay - like all Daedra, when his corporeal form is destroyed, his essence will return to the Waters of Oblivion. However, to bind a soul to a flesh shell is a tricky, imprecise thing, and there’s no guarantee Dust could find his particular soul and rebind him again. Thus, she’s always tried to use some degree of caution in working alongside him.

Doht is stronger than any mortal wolf or canine, of course, imbued with enchantments not dissimilar from those scarring Dust’s own tissue. He has no need to eat or sleep, though he might indulge in both when not in battle, and is immune to disease. However, he can be dismantled and destroyed. His outer skin membrane, though tough, is not impenetrable.

In Dust’s days as the Bane of Stendarr, both she and Doht recieved regular ‘touch-ups’, her from Relmyna, and Doht from Dust herself. Failing stitching would be redone, muscle tissue healed, failing imbuements strengthened with void essence and rituals alongside healing sessions. These days, Doht sees much less action, and Dust summons him only rarely for aid or company.

How does you OC act around different people and how does their personality change to match the environment they’re in? How do they act with: friends, family, strangers, children or their lover(s)?

overall, she’s always a bit,,, incredibly wild. depending on how close you are to her, though, you’d see more and more of her ‘serious’ side

with her friends, she’s a massive goofball who gets them into trouble. with family, she’s an agent of chaos. with strangers, she tends to be very sarcastic and even snide sometimes. she LOVES kids, always keeping them entertained, and with her lover - should she ever get one - she’d be a lot more serious, a lot more,,, not sad, perse, but a lot less of a spitfire

Does your OC prefer to take the lead or follow orders? With everyone or just with certain people? Is there a reason for this?

Does your oc have any kind of crafting skills that either aren’t in-game or don’t have as much importance in-game as they would in real life? (For example, can your oc sew or weave, etc? Are they skilled in any kind of art? Can they make jewelry or work glass? Are they musicians? etc)

she sings and plays the lute! granted, she doesn’t sing exceedingly well, buuuut her songs tell fairly good stories and her lute usually covers it well. she can sew but only well enough to patch up minor tears and holes in clothes, but she has a surprising affinity for working with dwemeri and clockwork technology

Does your oc have a family of origin? How many members of their FoO are still living? Do they have a good relationship? How much contact does your oc have with their FoO? How in-the-loop is your oc’s FoO about your oc’s being Dragonborn/HoK/Nerevarine?

technically, neither of her parents are alive in the Real Sense. her mother’s alive in body, but only as a corpus monster. her father became a sleeper during the events of morrowind, and he sort of disappeared into the red mountain region. as such, from about age 12 onward, she and her older sister were taken in by the skaal village in solstheim! she considers them her family, but she loses contact after she winds up in cyrodiil. she eventually gets in contact with her sister again, though!

What does your oc like to eat? How much food do they eat? Can your oc cook, and can they do it well?
