#es oc

alrighty, blabbing time B) I'll probably start doing this with any new oc I post here lol gives me a chance to blab about my ocs without worrying that I'm annoying someone hbjkld

his name is Vash'ka Frostfire (he/they bc I project my pronouns onto all my ocs), but he prefers to just go by Vash. he's a mage first, thief second. that's VERY important to them. but also they're honestly just a mage for the aesthetic bhjfk not 100% for that reason as they do genuinely enjoy being a mage. but he's very particular. he only ever uses frost magic with his right hand and fire magic with his left hand. because his right eye is blue and his left eye is orange lmao

he was raised by his Khajiit parents and traveled around with them, his older brother and other members of his caravan. they primarily traveled around Elsweyr, occasionally popping over to Valenwood. uuuntil he was about 8-10 years old (not decided lol) when a group of bandits ambushed his caravan. the bandits kill everyone else, but decide to let him live. but they gave him his mouth scars and snaggletooth to remember them by.

obviously, the poor kid is terrified and very traumatized. he just runs off, eventually finding himself in Valenwood. he ends up running into a Bosmer family, who take one look at his cute lil floofy face and immediately take him in. due to the trauma, they can only remember their first name, they have No idea what their last name was. so the family gives him the name Frostfire because of his eyes and because even at that age, he was already pretty capable with fire and frost magic

so yadda yadda, he's then raised by this family, but once he gets to be about 22, he finally decides that he wants to go and find those bandits, and kill them. bc revenge, y'know? and so he goes and heads off to find them. he stays in Cyrodiil for about a year before moving on up to Skyrim. and this is where canon kinda starts. they're caught at the border and though they tried to explain they weren't trying to cross illegally, yeah, nobody cared. so they willingly went with them, hoping it would get them a lighter sentence. it's important to note here that Quyance has the exact opening as part of his backstory. Vash was right behind his cart, so they never met (they meet later but y'know), but Vash definitely saw him. when Alduin decided to go commit arson in Helgen, Vash just Ran. guy literally climbed the wall, even though his hands were still bound lmao. absolute mad lad.

hee hoo that last paragraph was huge oops so that mostly brings us to current times. he ends up building a cottage on a mountain near Dawnstar bc people are racist and he didn't feel like dealing with them. he joined the college and thieves guild and yee B)
