Was nicely asked by my dm if I could draw an npc for our campaign, Princess Freydis, and, taking any excuse I could to draw another kobold, I took it

So I hadn’t uploaded these either, like a fool. Was trying something new with kinda mixing my more paint-y style with my normal one?? 

Elder Scrolls

- Mercival’s design is based on a lion. He has a full mane that frames his face and goes down over his chest. He even has a tuft on the end of his tail and everything.

- Mercival is a bit of a polyglot and knows the main languages of each of the provinces, even some of the ancient, dead languages and he even knows some Daedric as well. This is because he travels anywhere the Empire needs him to go so he has to be prepared to speak anything he needs to, or even read if he’s to intercept important documents. He knows Daedric because, well, Daedra can be a threat and being able to recognise Dadric script and what it says is never a bad thing.

- Adding onto that though, Mercival doesn’t let on how much he’s able to understand of any given language of any given time. He’d much prefer to be thought of as funny, slightly witty if ignorant entertainer than as someone who might know too much.

- Mercival is a fan of history, especially literary history, and he has a hobby when travelling of translating foreign and ancient texts and plays for later publishing or performing. He’s actually had a few of his translations published and circulated round some of the courts.

- While staying in a court one of Mercival’s favourite things to do is to engage in a game of letters with the other courtiers present. They make the days and evenings pass a lot faster and they’re fun to help stretch his creative muscles.

- Mercival has kept tabs on a few of the other children he knew when he was still stuck in the orphanage in Riften. One girl became a baker in Whiterun, one boy got taken to Morrowind, another girl moved to Bruma and Mercival visits her every so often. One boy though grew up to be a serial killer in High Rock, which was a bit alarming but he’s dead now.

- Even though he travels all over the place Mercival has a modest home in the Imperial City and a small place in Solitude in Skyrim that’s a little way down the street from the Bard’s College.

- He has at least two to four bells braided into his mane at all times. Sometimes he weaves in even more if he feels like being fancy. When performing for court he likes to put bells on his wrists and ankles to help add an extra element to his performance.

- His accent is a mix between Nord and Cyrodillic.

 - That’s his default voice anyway. Mercival is able to mimic voices really easily. He’s been known to work in impressions and imitations into his more satirical pieces for court.

Mass Effect

- Mercival is dreadful at snacking while he’s doing something, like working or writing or watching vids or some such. He knows he shouldn’t but some things are just too nice!

- He’s very open about being spiritual but doesn’t talk about it all the time. He enjoys the idea that everything is a part of everything else and that the spirits bind everything together. He finds it comforting.

- He’s a very eager storyteller and a bit of a raconteur. His battle reports are known for being highly detailed when submitted. Not overly so but more than one might expect for official reports.

- Is specialised in high powered assault rifles and hand held explosives. Mercival likes things that go boom.

- He’s currently in training to be a Spectre. He had never even considered that he might one day even have the possibility of becoming one, or that he even could, so to be given even the opportunity to is already mind-blowing for him.

- Turian Mercival likewise knows a number of different languages and has done a few foreign language performances in the am dram groups he’s been part of.

- Mercival is a really heavy sleeper but also a really messy sleeper. He’s definitely the kind of person where he’ll wake up and the quilt’s half off the bed, the pillows are scattered, there’s one under his arm now, stuff like that.

- Also he’s a huge cuddler. Loves cuddling. He actually sleeps a lot less restlessly when he’s cuddling up to someone.

- Mercival is one of the few characters I have who owns their own skycar. Since he’s based on the Citadel he uses it to get around places rather than use public transport. A frequent complaint of his is how expensive fuel is and how badly everyone drives there.

I managed to ramble again, so putting a read-more down below~

Rask, @dinosrpg ‘s Lizardfolk Barbarian

Surina, @chaoticcomposition ‘s Silver Dragonborn Barbarian

Encore, @bioticplaneswalker ‘s Siren Bard

Zephrine, my Brass Dragonborn Sorcerer

And last but not least, Helena, @nataliesartprofile ‘s Tiefling Cleric

Some NPCs from @greyfen’s dnd campaign setting, Ja’ghul(right), powerful sorcerer and founder/ruler of one of the major cities (Nyx, specifically), and his wife and general badass, Lhoril(left)

They’re generally p nice people but not really to be messed with.

Caaaaan doooo!

Omega native, through-and-through. She was born and mostly raised there, when she wasn’t being raised on various pirate ships. It shows.

She’s rarely been planetside, and up until her late teens/early twenties (When she started making friends and traveling more), had a fear of thunderstorms and weird weather in general.

Thought she was an orphan until after the Reaper War, when her mother Rana showed up on the scene. She initially wanted nothing to do with Rana, and told her as much, but was gently persuaded by Fenir to give her a chance.

Either falls into a dreamless coma when she sleeps or has terrible nightmares that wake her up frequently. There’s no in-between.

Had a faulty biotic implant up until her early twenties, given to her by a doctor with ill intentions toward Narrok, her adoptive fatherfigure. She eventually had it replace with a proper one, and her biotics have shown to be quite impressive since, however, she still has an intense fear of doctors that persists throughout her life and getting her implant replaced was an Ordeal.

Is an excellent marksman and could probably raise more than a few eyebrows if she set her mind to it, but still prefers to use a shotgun.

Was a pretty bad smoker until she started a relationship with Fenir. She initially stopped for his sake more than her own, because lolselfloathingissues

Has been trained to be ambidextrous, but was originally right-handed.

Is terrible at managing money because she tends to have a ‘spend it while you got it’ mentality. That, and she really loves luxury items. Particularly nice guns and cool, always-black clothing.

Imma call this finished ‘cause I’m just gonna work it to death otherwise
