#nibarr

Tajhor - She doesn’t have any strong feelings one way or the other about her parents. Being the middle of 3 she was usually left to her own devices and spent more time focusing on her magic than anything else. Her parents care, yes, but they’ve really got no special connection besides blood. 

Nibarr - Nibarr’s da was killed before he was born so his mother raised him alone for a long while. She cared for him a great deal and he was happy to spend time with her and take care of her as the years went on.

Estina I still haven’t developed a headcanon for ahahhaha~

Vriska Amell - Vriska’s parents were the usual loving parents. They adored their daughter and lived a happy life until her magic reared it ugly head and they sent her off to the circle. For the first year or so they would try to keep in contact but, when her mother became pregnant, their visits became more and more scarce until they eventually stopped all together.

Freigha Cousland - Positively spoiled by her parents, well-taught, well-trained in a few different arts; Freigha and her parents got along very, very well. They love her and she them and they lived relatively peaceful and simplistic lives. Until.. well, you know. ha.

Paela Tabris - Darling Paela was born to a magic-wielding mother and a hunting father who were both born and raised with the Dalish. They were loving but tough- Every lesson was something taught with a cold stare but rewarded with a warm embrace. They honed her into a skilled fighter and a caring person, even if she tries to deny that she can actually smile.

Maen Surana - Maen never knew his parents. Instead he was raised by an elderly Apostate in the Wilds. This was the closest person I could call a ‘parent’ for him. They lived a quiet life, and he respected his ‘father’ greatly. He taught him of spells and herbs and demons and the fade- gave him the knowledge he needed to stay out of the Chantry’s grasp and keep himself safe and hidden so he could live a peaceful life before dying quietly in their home where Maen remained for some time after.

Valen and Chase are still huge WiPs as far as back story omg.

Oh! My Hawke.

Amel’s dad and Nibarr are both former companions(though he wasn’t part of the circle-) and so he’s present through her time growing up in Riften. He eventually joins the Thieve’s guild for some extra coin when Amel is only.. oh, say, 3-4. At this point Nibarr is in his 30s, mind you.

Nibarr takes to Amel really well and pesters her alot to make her train harder- she works best when trying to prove herself so he pushes her hard once her father starts teaching her how to fight.

He tries to make it seem like he doesn’t like her but, in reality, she’s his little Nord princess and he buys her cool gifts for her birthdays and never tells her they’re from him- its sweet really. he’s like the overprotective uncle and its super adorbs and yeah.

After Amel’s father dies, when she is about 15, she’s sent to Solitude to live with mommy dearest(who is a twat but thats another story).

Nibarr is away on guild business at the time, else he would have taken her on his own.

Anyways, he returns to Riften to her being gone and his oldest friend dead and, when he asks to take Amel (because her mother stated outright she wanted nothing to do with her when she left), her mother tells him she died on the trip to Solitude(a lie, of course). At this point he dives into his work for the guild and starts to cut himself off from most of his old acquaintances and become really bitter and introverted, having lost the only people he really cared about in Skyrim. Things are quiet until about 12 years later when the whole ‘mercer thing’ happens and he just grows angrier and more bitter from the betrayal of the guild master he laid his trust in. however I changed up the ending so that Mercer manages to get away and the guild continues a search of sorts for a maybe dead possibly alive mortally wounded but escaped Mercer. then, a few months later, he gets a letter from Kodlak claiming she’s alive and well and looking for him.

aaand so he races off to Whiterun just as Amel is facing off against Mirmulnir, and this is where he gets the lovely scar on the side of his face-

And from there things generally follow the main storyline and the companions quest line- and he helps her through taing the best blood, having been the only one who knew of her father’s ‘gift’ as well.

essentially, Nibarr winds up being Amel’s rock through everything- her closest companions and confidant. and she give his this semblance of home for things in his life to move forward.

needless to say, Amel and Vilkas have had this thing going on since they were kids- everyone always thhough she would wind up with Farkas but, nope. Eventually they kinda get to bing an actual thng and, oh my god, does Nibarr take that info and ruuuuun.

Queue tons of awkward moments and horrifying jokes and angry, blushing, shuddering Amel and a mildly horrified but bemused Vilkas.

ahhh~
