Our word is: Professional

A light clucking of the Argonian's tongue, Nor brushing a gloved hand over a stretch of rock to clear the snow from its surface. No, no sign of anything here either... With a weary sigh the assassin straightened, casting his gaze over the area around him and the multitude of frost covered stones once again. Somewhere around here there was supposed to be a rock with rough scratched marking, and under that was supposed to be an emergency cache of sorts. The Argonian had been tasked with refilling said cache, but the snowstorm that had passed through the area was putting a serious damper on Nor's work. And the longer he was out here the better the chance someone would come across him.

8. How does your character feel about religion?

Very strongly, when it comes to the Daedric Princes. Nur-Ek is an ardent worshiper of Meridia, and he has a small amount of respect for Azura and Malacath. All others, however, are evil, whose followers must be hunted down and killed before they spread their corrupting influence. Worst of all is Molag Bal, who created vampirism.

Aside from the Daedric Princes, he respects the pantheons of the other races, even if they are a bit odd. Excluding the Dunmer, however, since they worshiped Boethiah and Mephala, and then the Tribunal, two of whom were the supposed successors to the two Princes. He tries not to let that interfere with his relations with the Dark Elves he meets. They are just misguided, after all.

As for the Hist, he is unsure about how he feels. He is Argonian, and his name is Nur-Ek-Hist, which means “Light-of-Hist,” so shouldn’t he be following the Hist? On the other hand, he loves Meridia more than his own creator. Yes, Nur-Ek is very unsure about how he feels about that matter.

35. Do they always rationalize errors? How do they accept disasters and failures?

Most of the time, if he makes an error or fails, it is his own fault. Occasionally, it is just poor fortune. Never, though, does he blame failure on the lack of support from the Lady of Life and Light. She doesn’t have the time to watch over him and babysit him all day, every day. Still, sometimes he wonders whether she watches over him at all. Either way, his faults are his own, and he has no one to blame but himself.

37. How is your character’s imagination? Daydreaming a lot? Worried most of the time? Living in memories?

By Meridia, NO. Anything to keep his mind from wandering and stumbling upon memories. The things his host did send shivers up his spine just at the thought. And it wasn’t just the deeds themselves, it was how feelings of pleasure were associated with them. It was disgusting. Nur-Ek would be a fan of the saying “A small mind is a tidy mind.” His imagination may suffer somewhat, but at least he keeps his sanity.

37. How is your character’s imagination? Daydreaming a lot? Worried most of the time? Living in memories?

Nor’s imagination is fairly decent, certainly not stifled by any means. Though he does tend to keep a more practical sense about himself rather than let crazy ideas run wild. Nor is also not exactly what one will call a daydreamer. There are plenty of times where he will be quite focused in whatever particular activity he’s doing or letting his thoughts wander as he travels, but he’ll still keep his senses quite aware to the rest of his surroundings while do so. He does have to be able to react to a possible attack or other event, after all. I also wouldn’t classify him as worried all the time, more aware than anything else. Though he does also tend to keep himself focused on the present rather than living in memories either.

38. Are they basically negative when facing new things? Suspicious? Hostile? Scared? Enthusiastic?
