Few more sketches of my Courier Raul wearing the Raider Pain Spike armor he was fond of for a while. Also the obligatory undies depiction, as a treat (he's probably talking to Boone)
Ended up dropping it after a while because of how quickly the condition deteriorated and how much it weighed, but before I stuck with the combat/Ranger armors in higher levels it was next to the Merc Charmer Armor and Bounty Hunter Duster outfit as his regular "outfit".
He has very high good karma which made it funnier having him run around looking like a raider. He just fucks heavily with the fashion (been thinking of giving him piercings too).
Uhhh, oops, been playing too much Fallout New Vegas so I finished up these sketches of my Courier 6 sos I can post something for once
His name's Raul (I forgor there was already a companion with that name lmaooo) and he's as close to a spellsword as I could get in a game that revolves around guns
He started with 8 Strength, 7 Endurance, and 6 Agility I think, but also 4 Perception so you can say he's Dense in more ways than one.
Unfortunately, alongside Melee and Unarmed, his other tagged skill is Explosives
Now Art Fight's over, I can collect the revenge (defense? idk the terminology) art I got of my Creatures and I love that they both ended up being Skyrim guys (the main two to boot)
Aza-jo from @erymry
Alois from @gruvu
I think the reason they call it Art Fight is cause when you get art you feel like you're being blasted and end up in a crater like that Yamcha or whatever from Dragonball except you just need to pace around for a bit to get rid of the zoomies
Not really bothering with ESO's events these days but I remember waaaaaay back when the New Life Festival dropped I saw that a Bath Towel was a costume you could get and was...kind of disappointed that it was not only unflattering but also didn't really seem like it was fitted for modesty
I imagine that if it weren't for the censor undies, you could see the whole thang poking through and flopping around
A few more Words with some visual aids to make sense of the mess of a Canon for my ESO game
Genuinely one of my favorite aspects of ESO being an MMO is that I can technically have several of my own characters interacting with each other via shared bank (and eventually achievements/titles/etc) even if the devs missed a HUGE chance by working Shadow Magic into its multiplayer aspect after they dropped the player characters being the Chosen Many instead
It made the first months with the game very special because I got to have my original 3 actually grow together and build up their own little Queer Commune that occasionally brings in some new strays in later content. Playing through all 3 Alliances with 3 different characters in parallel definitely made the Coldharbour arc that much more satisfying. That entire experience is irreplaceable and also no longer possible for many, many reasons, but I cherish it all the same.
Anyways without further ado
Main Timeline (Ebonheart Pact)
This is where every other TES game I've played takes place on. Xochitl is the Vestige of the timeline, and since this is where every other timeline is merged into, she's THE Vestige, period. By extension, Aza-jo is THE Last Dragonborn and the one responsible for all this bullshit. Fjotreid is the requisite non-Hero of the timeline.
As limited as it is, Shadow Magic is also part of Nightblade lore, and it seems to figure into Argonian religion, making the expressions involving "the River" make more sense with the new lore on "Paths" (aka Shadow Worlds). All this to say, Xochitl hanging around with Shadow counterparts was nothing new to her, but they're rarely as different as Eolan or Jo'zira are to her. So it took her a while to catch on anyways.
Though Jo'zira did most of the work (only half of it consciously) it was Aza-jo who ultimately plotted to merge the timelines. Severed from linear time at the end of his own adventure, he personally contacted the Vestiges of his own and other timelines to facilitate the transition into a more favorable future for everyone involved. Unfortunately, he ran into a very significant setback on one Path and was forced into dormancy to salvage his work.
Parallel Timeline 1 (Daggerfall Covenant)
Eolan's timeline, which is also Rutee's original timeline. As Rutee was the first Shadow LDB Aza-jo contacted in the 4th Era, Eolan was the closest Shadow Vestige to Xochitl. For this reason they were able to maintain contact when Jo'zira was temporarily indisposed during the Craglorn arc. Madoki is the timeline's non-Hero, though unlike the other two she doesn't really have much history or commonality with Eolan aside from being from northern Bangkorai and default angry expression.
Curiously, Eolan began to have odd dreams and confusing memories that didn't match up with reality around the time Jo'zira vanished during the Craglorn arc. He'd later find out he was capable of remembering changes made to the world, acting as a sort of counter balance for his counterparts' meddling with the Many Paths. Though Jo'zira assumed it was likely a side effect of channeling Akatosh's power at the end of the Planemeld arc, they never did figure out how Eolan is capable of doing so.
Parallel Timeline 3 (Aldmeri Dominion)
Jo'zira's timeline, though it originally belonged to Lucius. Lucius was supplanted when he tried to sabotage Aza-jo's efforts out of suspicion (which, to be fair, were pretty shady). In turn, Aza-jo, having made corporeal through exposure to a Skyshard Lucius thought would destroy him, stole his body, excised the Daedric Vestige piloting it, and molded it into an appropriate vessel.
The vessel would eventually gain a will of its own and follow Spinner Maruin's example by "editing" his counterpart's memories up until that point to make it seem like they were together from the very start in Coldharbour. Taking the name of Jo'zira, he'd eventually lose his corporeal form when Aza-jo's consciousness regained control. He was allowed to continue existing on the condition that he'd help his "father" with his plan, being filled in on exactly why it was important that the timelines be merged. (That being, they were on the path to prematurely ending by the timeline's LDB in the 4th era thanks to Aza-jo's meddling)
Though Aza-jo was able to successfully merge multiple Paths into his own, there were naturally still many inconsistencies to iron out. As Aza-jo went dormant until the 4th Era, Jo'zira continued his role as scribe and witness, Eolan and Xochitl helping him keep their new reality stable. They did, of course, talk out Jo'zira essentially brainwashing them for the first half of their adventure. In time, he was even able to bring Lucius back without losing the body Aza-jo stole from him (and thus letting Jo'zira continue existing).
The only significant thing I have to say about the timeline's original LDB (Germain) is that I like to use him in (non canon) playthroughs of mods Aza-jo wouldn't involve himself in.
Distant Timeline
Gogan's original Path, where Ithelia's rage at Mora's assault boiled over and made her the very thing he feared. Though it's far removed from Xochitl and the others timeline (both the originals and the new merged one), Mora saw fit to pull Gogan into it when it was clear he couldn't get the natives to help him prevent Ithelia's return. Gogan's past life was lost when that Path was unmade by its Ithelia, and only Mora and Jo'zira know the truth of Gogan's origin.
Given the timeline ends long before the events of ESO, there is no corresponding Vestige or LDB.

Anyways, this is long enough, and I'm pretty sure I left out several details but this is a decent primer to get an idea of What the Actual Fuck I'm talking about with my TES OCs, especially ESO
Bosmer from another Path summoned by Hermaeus Mora. They appeared in the world bereft of all the memories of their Path of origin with only their eldritch tome in their possession. They traveled through the Telvanni Peninsula and the West Weald with only Mora's protection and a Man named Lucius by their side. When the threat over Nirn from Mora's old enemy was dealt with, they had nothing and no one to return to.
Though apprehensive and even hostile throughout their adventure, Jo'zira ultimately offered Gogan a place with the group when it was clear Mora no longer had his eye on them. While they were glad to be free from the Khajiit's hostility, it was only at Lucius' behest that they accepted the offer. Even so, they and Jo'zira still remained cordial but distant.
Some more refs
tbh I wasn't sure I was gonna do this one given I JUST came up with them earlier this year but
