Oh boy, a complex character who's a woman! I love messy characters who hurt everyone around them and continue the cycles that hurt them!! Can't wait to share this joy with fellow fans– why's everyone calling her a bitch

[baddbyrne]

okay not to ocpost again but the worst thing about having an oc is sometimes they become The Character to you. and you need to talk to someone about it like wow I can’t stop thinking about The Character… but in order to do so you have to like sit them down and explain everything about your oc first. and then it’s just you explaining your writing ideas. i need to talk about them the same way i would talk about any random character i love to someone.

♪ Character trivia ♪

Alethia was born on the 16th of Sun's Dawn, 2E 562 under The Lover birth sign.

In my canon, at the very least six years have passed since 582, so she is 26, and therefore, 973 years old in 4E 201.

By ESO canon standards she would be 967 years old in 4E 201. 

Occupation: Priestess and Oracle of Mara, member of the Psijic Order, Adept scholar of the Mage's Guild, and member of house Ravenwatch.

Background: Born from the coupling of an Altmer father(Meriano) and Nord mother(Ylva), Alethia spent the first ten years of her childhood in the seaside village known as Lillandril. Her Altmer ancestry can be traced back to clans Auralus and Errinorne, where tensions began to rise due to the birth of herself and her three sisters (Anitra, Asta, Angelica). Due to her illness, and being claimed Apraxic by her paternal grandmother, Alethia is taken to an abbey of Mara in Solitude. Upon her 20th birthday, Alethia would travel to a Temple of Mara located in Stormhaven to join the Order of Maran Knights.

Notable relationships:

• Gabriel—Close friend. A Maran Knight that befriends Alethia. They become quite close as Gabriel acts as her protector and confidant prior to the Worm Cult's attack. 

• Vanus Galerion—Mentor and family friend. Having known her father, Meriano, Vanus does his best to keep Alethia mentally and physically safe. After the events of the Planemeld, Vanus personally oversees her training.

• Fennorian Ravenwatch—Close friend and eventual lover. Fennorian and Alethia immediately 'click', given their similar interests (and shyness). Their friendship grows throughout Fennorian's work in Western Skyrim and The Reach.

• Darien Gautier—Close friend. Fighting together as allies grew their bond into a tightly wound friendship. They watch each other's backs, and swear to never give up on each other. 

• Abnur Tharn—Temporary mentor and friend. While they both can be stubborn, Alethia's good nature makes it hard for Abnur to be hostile. Having seen her at her worst, Abnur begrudgingly cares for Alethia's wellbeing. He helps her utilize her Magicka during the Planemeld.

• Valsirenn—Close friend and mother figure. Having been away from family for some time, and due to Valsirenn's loss, they both find familial comfort in each other. Alethia visits Valsirenn often.

Strengths: Compassionate, generous, loyal, prudent, thoughtful, resilient, independent.

Weaknesses: Vengeful, jealous, overthinks, self-punishing, self-sacrificing, gloomy, stubborn.

No interest in: needless bloodshed, war, power, religious or political debates. 

No concept of: being enough.

Character: Melancholic, reserved, yet sweet. Dependant on the situation and who she is with, she can be humorous. Very rarely shows anger unless someone she loves is hurt, or worse. 

In battle: Uses a stave to control and enhance close up and ranged magical attacks. Typically dabbles in the destruction and healing schools of magic, with a special concentration in Templar spells specific to Mara. Her Magicka reserves rarely run out, but if it causes too much strain on her body, her stave functions as a weapon itself. 

Distinguishing marks: Large, down turned turquoise eyes. Knee-length red hair, plump figure, long, soft-edged ears. Pale skin that seems nearly transparent at times. 

♠Trivia♠

• Loves bread and sweets and will eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if she can

• Dislikes meat because of how 'bloody' it looks

• Loves flowers and enjoys walking through gardens in her spare time

• doodles in her spare time—mostly travel companions/friends, animals, architecture, and flowers

• Can play the harp

After the events of the Dragonhold DLC, she spent some time in Anequina helping the city to recover, getting to know the people & the culture better, and becoming closer to Queen Khamira. Providing both companionship and counsel.

Occasionally spends some of her time living in Seabloom villa, and finds the change of scenery to be pleasant compared to her home back in Daggerfall

Long after the events of ESO, she eventually ends up travelling alongside Captain Yulan and her crew aboard her ship, spending a few years of her immortal life on the seas, not that she had anything better to do.

Very possessive with her daughter Sereia, and struggles with the idea of having to let her “leave the nest” to travel and fulfill her duty as the Dragonborn, which is the same treatment that Irenes overbearing mother had on her centuries ago, (something she hated) making it a cycle that she is hesitant to break, though she eventually relents as she understands the call of destiny that her daughter finds herself tangled in all too well.

Wishes that she and Mannimarco could freely be with each other under better circumstances, and that he hadn’t gone down the dark path that she cannot follow him on.

Though her surname is Matrilineal (Maristella), she also takes on her fathers surname (Mahara)

character trivia - neven <3

tagged by @sugarysins @artaeums and @sulphuricgrin!!! thank you so much this was so fun!!!

Name: Neven Verinea, or Neven Tharn

Age: 172 as of 2E 582

Born: 2/16 2E 410

Occupation: librarian and writer pre-death, begrudgingly saving the world/being The Vestige post-death lol

Background: neven was born and raised in cheydinhal. his parents were exceptional mages, and had high expectations from him from a young age which he was never interested in meeting. instead, neven always had an intense curiosity for the world around him and a desire to read and learn. when he was in his 40's he took up a position being mentored by the soon-retiring librarian at the library privately owned by house tharn, located just right outside of his hometown. it was there he acquired his first job as a librarian, and there he eventually met the love of his life, abnur tharn :)

neven always had a (scholarly) interest in learning about various types of magic, but was especially transfixed by necromancy. he had a large personal collection of any book and scroll he could get his hands on regarding the topic. he had far more knowledge than skill, but he was still able to practice when he wanted to.

it was through their mutual interest in necromancy that neven and his ex-husband (before his marriage to abnur) nadryn originally bonded. :) neven was never truly romantically interested in nadryn, but figured he was "good enough" of a way to force himself to forget about abnur lmao. he thought the feelings would come eventually, but they ofc never did.

nadryn ends up being recruited to the worm cult and accidentally becomes the reason for neven's death. nadryn tried to get neven to join the cult with him as his convoluted way to "stay safe" during the events of the planemeld, but neven, of course, was appalled by the idea and said no on principle. the worm cult didn't take the rejection well, and he was lined up next for sacrifice. :')

Notable relationships:

Abnur Tharn - century year long situationship turned husband lmao, absolute love of his life ♡

Tanlorin - closest (and practically only) friend as the vestige, has been with him since basically the very beginning, on/off traveling companion

Talviah Aliaria - stray he picked up and somehow became a father/mentor figure to lol. talviah might as well just be his son atp because his parents do NOT gaf about him

(oc) Nadryn - ex-husband, accidentally the reason neven was sacrificed 😅

(oc) Nerium - neven's best friend up until he was sacrificed, has unfortunately not regained contact with him since his return. has no idea he's returned at all (yet), actually

Strengths:

intelligent

well-read

well-spoken

selfless

loyal! but almost to a fault. should also be considered a weakness

problem solver!!

honest/sincere

at his core, genuinely kind and forgiving

Weaknesses:

DISORGANISED

can be sort of short-tempered or impatient lol

a little too full of himself at times. only in regards to what he knows and what he's skilled in lol

is very "um actually ☝️ 🤓". always has to be Correct About The Facts

very guarded/wary. slow to trust

can be very... unaware of others feelings. or what they're thinking in general

as the vestige, has almost no sense of self. constant back to back identity crises

as the vestige, just goes along with what other people tell him to do, even if he doesn't want to. because he thinks it's what he HAS to do. he was obviously brought back for a reason, right?

No interest in:

politics, ironically

people with no sense of curiosity or desire to learn

social hierarchies. treating any one person differently or more/less important simply because of something like status, etc

wearing tight and restrictive pants LMAO

No concept of: moving on from or letting go of a certain Someone... 😅 genuinely will NEVER happen

Character: neven is typically very reserved and keeps to himself when around people he's not close with/doesn't know. he's very playfully sarcastic, can a little bit grumpy at times, but still very caring and tries his best to be considerate. he's passionate about his interests, his writing and his career and will happily talk your ear off if you get him going about them.

In battle: neven pre-death had absolutely zero fighting skills and zero reason to learn. as the vestige, he had to start fumbling his way through learning how to use his daggers and, when needed, his necromancy. very quickly discovered he enjoyed fighting with his daggers, and improved his skills through scattered lessons and uhh. firsthand experience lol.

i do (against his wishes) make him an arcanist as of necrom, but that's not his primary focus at all. he's far more hands on and resorts to his magic only when truly necessary

Distinguishing marks:

freckles on his face and body, primarily his arms and chest

one long scar on his torso from Magical Wizard Top Surgery

stands at 6'5" tall

large golden eyes <3

not really a physical mark, but always wearing golden jewelry. ears, hands, wrists, etc.

Trivia:

he's a huge cat lover :)

he naturally has a very flat/monotone voice, and speaks very honestly and directly. people often misread him and chalk him up to being a total asshole because of it lmao

not mentioned in the background section, but neven has an older sister named mille who is a devout worshipper of arkay and extremely wary of daedra. neven being a necromancer (and now a daedric being lol) means they tend to.... clash, of course. she still cares for him though, and has a tendency to overlook his ''faults'' lmao

as the vestige, he is physically cold to the touch. he doesn't need to eat or drink, which is fine by him because he's typically very bad at keeping himself fed anyway lol. he has become an extreme lightweight when it comes to alcohol, though. he doesn't really age and any appearance changes/scars/etc he obtains will disappear upon death/reforming.
