Don't have to do all of these? Can just pick which ones you want c;

oh i love answering these. im answering them all 💛

BEE

6. If you could give them one modern amenity, what would you give them and why?

i would give her a nintendo DS and a copy of nintendogs

25. If they were an NPC, what kind of quest would they give? Or would they be the type to simply repeat basic dialogue?

very good question.  she would either be a follower or random sidequest-giver.  probably either escorting her to winterhold so she could join the mages college or a starry-eyed tagalong that people would meme about feeding to boethiah

ENGALL

15. Can they handle sour tasting foods? Or do they hate them?

engall in life was a very picky eater with only a few safe foods that he would bear to eat (he has Issues™)  the taste itself wouldnt botger him, but the texture of the food would probably make him retch.  when he got temporarily cured he was in a much more stable environment and expanded his palate a bit

25. If they were an NPC, what kind of quest would they give? Or would they be the type to simply repeat basic dialogue?

he would be the questgiver for the dark brotherhood, as he is/was/is the listener.  either that or hed be mentioned in passing & seem suspiciously normal and just talk about mudcrabs when interacted with.  or if youre in the brotherhood, you could ask him about it and hed chastise you for being conspicuous

ELDRYS

17. Do they prefer to live in the city or a smaller village? Maybe out in the wilds?

he grew up in the grey quarter of windhelm, so cities dont bother him.  ultimately, though, he would prefer to be left alone, so perhaps a small settlement or a house in the wild

25. If they were an NPC, what kind of quest would they give? Or would they be the type to simply repeat basic dialogue?

he'd be a unique named vigilant of stendarr that sought out the dawnguard, and perhaps a follower because of it.  he'd probably have some funny voice lines for certain questpoints

SKARIS

21. Do they keep any maps around, or do they travel without one?

25. If they were an NPC, what kind of quest would they give? Or would they be the type to simply repeat basic dialogue?

he would be an npc you meet on the side of the road/in the middle of nowhere that would promise you great riches (he is the prince of morrowind after all!  dont mind that hes khajiit.  hes half dunmer.  yes really!) for escorting him to a nearby town/city.  he'd then skimp the payout and run away and probably get murdered by the player

VENEL

24. What's the worst thing they've ever done? And did they get punished for it?

murder, but its entirely justified.  she served time in prison for it and thats what got her shipped off to morrowind

25. If they were an NPC, what kind of quest would they give? Or would they be the type to simply repeat basic dialogue?

ty for your ask aaaa!!!

BEE

3. Do they have an accent?

kind of?  she only had a basic understanding of cyrodiilic when she emigrated to skyrim, so a lot of her vocabulary was limited and she often pronounced things wrong.  it took weeks for her to realize that cyrodiilic had verb tense, which threw her for a loop given that jel does not have that

7. Have they lived through any major historical events? How did they handle it?

prior to the events of skyrim, not really.  the dragonborn prophecy/skyrim civil war was her first.  it was a very very tense time for her, all things considered

16. If they were a dragon, would they have a hoard?

shes dragonborn, does that count?  she actually already hoards books, which almost cost her her life when she found that she could find lost and forbidden text in apocrypha

18. What color of clothing do they wind up wearing most often?

greens and blues, but primarily blue

21. Do they keep any maps around, or do they travel without one?

absolutely, and she's annotated hers with points of interest and notes about where she has been, as well as shortcuts shes found

ENGALL

2. If they were to join a pantheon (gods or daedric princes) what would they represent? Would they replace a current figure?

incredible question thank you.  for the nine divines he would replace mara, and for the daedra he would either replace sanguine or mephala or be some blend of sanguine, mephala, boethiah, azura, and sheogorath in his sphere

mara because his virtuous traits are loyalty, love, and devotion

sanguine/mephala because he is an assassin by trade and also a vampire.  he deals in lies and secrets and betrayal as his job, and unwinds with addiction and madness.  hes also transgender so change/transformation is normal for him

given all of that if he was a prince hed probably be one all on his own rather than replacing one of the existing ones

6. If you could give them one modern amenity, what would you give them and why?

a cell phone so that he could take selfies with his assassination targets

16. If they were a dragon, would they have a hoard?

knives, skulls, or handwritten love confessions

21. Do they keep any maps around, or do they travel without one?

when he lived in cyrodiil it was only whwn he was young, until he learned the whole country like the back of his hand.  after moving to skyrim, he keeps a map for if he manages to get lost

24. What's the worst thing they've ever done? And did they get punished for it?

he's done a lot of incredibly awful things.  regicide, mass murder, pressuring/enabling addicts, baby murder, take your pick

most were at the behest of the dark brotherhood, at least.  but he only ever went to prison for one attempted murder when he was 14

ELDRYS

9. If they were to play d&d, what would they play as?

paladin.  hes a vigilant of stendarr

15. Can they handle sour tasting foods? Or do they hate them?

i feel like sour, bitter, and earthy food is commonplace for the families of morrowind refugees.  he's 2nd generation immigrant

16. If they were a dragon, would they have a hoard?

baby animals (releasing them when they are adults), holy symbols, and scripture

20. Do they care about prophecies or anything like that?

he didnt really put much stock into them.  even after meeting the two dovahkiin of his timeline (bee and tharo) he still doesnt feel like prophecy led anyone to any destiny.  he more believes that when ancient powers threaten the world then someone with sufficient will will end up besting it, prophecy or not

21. Do they keep any maps around, or do they travel without one?

a few, mostly for if he travels out of eastmarch

SKARIS

1. Do they have a taste for any food that's hard to get where they live?

prior to getting kicked out of the royal palace in mournhold, no.  after, though, he would KILL for anything sweet or floral.  as said, i imagine most morrowind food is bitter, earthy, or sour

11. If they could have any animal or creature in existence as a pet or companion, what would it be? (Assuming said creature would be docile toward them!)

a betty netch, so he could sic it on cliff racers

16. If they were a dragon, would they have a hoard?

gold, treasure, coronets, and vials of blood

20. Do they care about prophecies or anything like that?

not until he became burdened with the nerevarine prophecy.  since then, he's been simultaneously full of himself (im a phrophetic figure!  im gonna save the world!  take that, dad!) and uniquely lonely (im the only one that can do this.  i cant let anyone know or they may assassinate me.  keep moving and dont look anyone in the eye for too long)

21. Do they keep any maps around, or do they travel without one?

arrogantly no.  he has gotten lost in the ashlands multiple times

VENEL

4. Did they attend any sort of school?

yes, a standard cyrodiilic cirriculum taught at home by her parents to herself and her brother

16. If they were a dragon, would they have a hoard?

jewelry, shackles, and white flowers

19. If they were dumped into the middle of the wilds of Elsweyr, how would they fare?

she... she would manage i think.  shed be better in the desert than the jungles because she would end up ambushed by senche-tigers there

21. Do they keep any maps around, or do they travel without one?

as soon as she could get her hands on one, yes

25. If they were an NPC, what kind of quest would they give? Or would they be the type to simply repeat basic dialogue?

she probably wouldnt give a quest, but she could be a good follower

since u didnt pick the oc ill just go briefly for everyone thats on my poll

👎 Is there someone your OC can’t stand, despite them being on the same side or sharing basic values?

bee: for a while, that was engall. he was the "new person" at the time and made her feel like she was slowly being pushed out of her group. she got better after a while after some meditation and reflection. aside from him, she tends not to get along with some of the more "sons of skyrim" stormcloaks, not least because of how they treat her for being born

engall: strangely enough, engall doesnt really hate particular people. his hatred extends more to positions of power, and just an overall disdain for anyone outside of the brotherhood or his particular circle. back when he was a kid though he could list off any number of people and reasons he hated them and wanted to push them into a meat grinder

venel: oh theres loads of people she doesnt like despite having to get along with them. so many dunmer in morrowind are ASSES. same with everyone else actually. the people in power that shes had to woo to the nerevarine cause are Quite The Collection Of People

elegoth: ulfric, balgruuf, tullius, actually basically anyone when it comes to the civil war. he supports skyrims liberation but good god if some of these people are dense and insufferable. he hates thalmor supporters most of all, but given his backstory thats obvious

eldrys: okay heres a hilarious one. so hes a vigilant of stendarr. engall and his husband are vampire and werewolf respectively. he spends the entirety of the dawnguard questline with them. the irony was not lost on him either. this man has complicated feelings about them at the very least

az'hiri: she'll never forgive eláne for what he did to engall

shar'ja: queen ayrenne, strangely, despite being one of her Eyes. her demeanor and the company she keeps rubs him the wrong way, and he never goes out of his way to be around her

gwyneth: people who partake in society. she's a very singular survivalist type, as raised by her extremist parents. despite how much she has in common with everyone around her in society, she'd much prefer to be alone in a hand-build cabin with a couple of purebred, loyal hunting dogs. erandur can visit tho

skaris: the list goes on. his father, the priests, the guards of wherever he's holing up, etc. being a prince-turned-pauper brings out a violent hatred for everyone around you. its not fair!! right?

yrwe: he is INCREDIBLY suspicious of any and all humans. he's a snow elf, and to him they all look the same

alaiko: she's yet to find someone she really dislikes. i havent played her very far, but being regarded as a "very ugly khajiit" when she is neither ugly nor a khajiit doesnt leave a good taste in her mouth

nakai: most merchants. shes...how do you say...lets say a haggler? she starts at 0 and doesnt go up. shes not very popular at places of business, so i guess it's more the other way around

aevar: there's some folks in the skaal village he doesnt get along with maybe, but hes generally an easy-going guy. he's been through a lot, but its hard to rise him to actively dislike someone

🌈 Does your OC speak more than one language? If so, how many and which?

bee: yes! she speaks jel and cyrodiilic (english), jel natively

engall: yes! he speaks cyrodiilic (natively), ta'agra (fluent), and CSL (cyrodiilic sign language, fluent). he's also picked up a touch of nordic and dunmeris

venel: no. she's *learning* dunmeris, but she only fluently speaks cyrodiilic

elegoth: yes, he speaks aldmeris (native) and cyrodiilic (fluent)

eldrys: no, just cyrodiilic, touches of nordic as well

az'hiri: yes, she speaks ta'agra (native) and cyrodiilic (fluent). she's also teaching her wife and son cyrodiilic

shar'ja: yes, ta'agra (native), aldmeris (fluent), and cyrodiilic (conversational)

gwyneth: kind of? she speaks bretic natively and is reluctantly coming to learn cyrodiilic

skaris: of course! cyrodiilic is his native, but he's been given fine instruction in dunmeris (fluent), aldmeris(decent), bretic(ehh), and ald chimeris(passable)

yrwe: no, he speaks ald falmeris (natively) and only the absolute minimum cyrodiilic

alaiko: she's currently only fluent in nordic, bet she's learning cyrodiilic

nakai: yes, cyrodiilic (native) and nordic (fluent)

It never seemed to end for Imala.  If it wasn’t one friend or soldier rousing her from her much-deserved sleep, it was another.

This time it was Venel, the haughty Sin’dorei mage.  She’d entered Imala’s quarters and now lay on the bed beside her on her side, her head propped against her bent elbow.

“What is it this time?” Imala grumbled.

“I don’t like this order,” Venel said.  “Sending me out with an orc?  To Spires of Arak?  I’m not going.”

“Yes, you are.”

“No.”

Imala rubbed her hand over her eyes.  “…If I reassign you to Talador with a fellow blood elf, will you get out of my room and leave me alone?”

“Yes.”

To say Freiha was horrified upon finding a blood elf next to her was an understatement.

How?  When?

She quickly rolled off the bed to grab her rifle from underneath.  Raising it, she aimed at the elf and glared.
