DARP OC Week - Day 2 - Mental

What’s your character’s IQ (guess)? Are they smart? In what way? Do they value intelligence in themselves and others?

While one might not expect at first, Janys would be of upper average intelligence [about 110-115]. However, this intelligence does not show as much in vast knowledge, but rather in her ability to think of creative solutions to problems so she, along with many other people, greatly underestimates her own intelligence. 

What languages can they speak/read/write?

Janys was taught both Tevene and the common tongue. Apart from that, she only knows a couple of qunari words and a couple of elvish words which she picked up from various sources, mainly slaves and prisoners of war. 

Are they more left-brained or right-brained? Are they creative? Artistic? Musically inclined?

Her behaviour is rather right-brained, geared much towards intuition and spontaneous acts. However, Janys is neither artistic nor musical and her creativity is rather limited to finding new approaches to different issues, rather than channeling anything into musical and artistic expression

What’s their education level? Where were they educated (if anywhere)? Do they pursue intellectual interests on their own? How do they learn (visually, kinesthetically, auditorially)?

At home, Janys received a very good education in topics such as history, politics, economy, geography and arithmetics, though she did not exceed at anything. A part of the issue is her lack of interest in theory and general principles- she rather learns by practice and doing things with her own hand, rather than just listening to teachers and learning various schemes by heart.

Mental advantages and weaknesses?

Janys is an absolutely positive person- it’s difficult to bring her down and make her lose motivation. However, she is easily touched by people’s stories and her strong emotions often cloud her judgement and expose her to manipulation and influence. 

What do they think about, most often? What sorts of thoughts trouble them? What do they avoid thinking about?

Usually, her thoughts are occupied with the immediate future: where do I spend the next night? What will I be doing tomorrow? Where will I go once my contracts here are finished? Thinking about perspectives for her life in a few years often scares her- Janys avoids thinking of home [for it will also mean missing it] and the future, since current occupations are much easier to think about.  

What’s one subject they know a lot about?

Janys is the typical “know a little of everything but about nothing everything”-person. She often displays half-knowledge that pretty much goes skindeep since she was never truly interested in anything enough to truly educate herself thoroughly on that subject. 

How good is their memory? 

Janys got a fairly good, reliable memory, but is clearly not out of the ordinary range. She is particularly good at memorizing places, situations and people who cause any sort of strong emotional reaction in her. 

What sorts of things do they dream about at night? Do they have nightmares?

Her dreams are usually as random and illogical as those of other people. 

Are they guided more by their head or their heart? How does that work for them? Are they a quick-thinker?

In most cases, she will let her heart guide her actions and decisions. Out of all strengths she has, being sober-minded and fully rational is not one of them. This highly emotion-based way of taking decisions often backfires with all kinds of negative consequences.

Relationships Meme

I want to develop relationships between characters. When I say relationships, I don’t just mean platonic or romantic. I’m talking about the entire fucking spectrum that is the idea of ‘relationships’. So, because I can’t find any good memes for it, I’ma make one.

Send me one (or more) of the following for possible relationships you can see between our characters:

シ : For a platonic relationship. ♥ : For a romantic relationship. ♋ : For a sexual relationship. ø : For a mutually beneficial relationship (as in they’re only it it because it’s beneficial). ϡ : For our muses to be (mortal?) enemies. ?? : For a relationship dynamic that you yourself would like to explain. or a ❂ if you would like to discuss possible relationship dynamics between our characters if none of the above seem to fit just right, or if you just have no clue.

I made Janys in Skyrim and she ended up a major hottie 

[loyalxsword]

I have come totally out of everything- so that’s why I am dropping all threads, because I’m out of it. However, if you want to start a new thing or continue something we had, please message me or like this post? Since I really dont want to give up on the fandom. 

[loyalxsword]

Is your character physically healthy? Do they have any physical disabilities? Any chronic illnesses (minor or major)? Allergies? How do they deal with them? Janys is a very healthy person. In contrast to her rather sickly and frail brother. Janys rarely feels ill and rarely falls sick. This good health is pretty much due to the financial stability of her family that always assured good nutrition. In addition to that, she was not one of the sheltered children but rather spent a lot of time outdoors, getting dirty, scraping knees- normal activities that strengthen children’s immune systems

How do they deal with pain? With illness? When in pain, Janys tends to curse a lot and cries easily. Being rather someone who dodges blows and stays out of harm’s way, she is not very well used to pain and will often complain very loudly when having sore muscles from too much training or blisters on her feet that make walking uncomfortable- all these things reveal her lack of actual experience. When ill, Janys often underestimates her situation. Unless there is someone to take care of her, she will only stay in bed for as long as she deems necessary- which is usually less than she should. Thus, it takes her longer to recover from any possible disease because she never really wants to rest and take care of herself properly.

Do they have any scars? Physical flaws or imperfections? How do they feel about them? As stated above, Janys stays out of harm’s way enough to avoid all serious injuries up to now. Usually, a healer always had been nearby enough to patch her up in time. Janys is not one of those people who would feel much pride in scars- while pretending not to care much about her appearance, she would feel very uncomfortable with having scars that show times in which she failed to watch out for proper defense. 

Is your character considered attractive? Do they consider themselves attractive? How do they feel about that? She is quite attractive. On the whole, most people would rate her upper average, but nothing extraordinary. Janys is aware of the fact that some men consider her to be attractive, but she feels rather indifferently to it as long as no one makes any unwanted moves. 

What is your character’s diet like? How often do they exercise? How much sleep do they get per night? After leaving home, her diet and sleeping pattern grew very irregular. On some evenings, she goes to bed late and sleeps in, other times she is too tired to do anything but fall into bed. Same goes for her eating habits since it strongly depends on whether she’s on the road and on her current financial status. 

What’s the first thing other people notice about them? Her hair. It’s red colour is quite noticeable, which was the initial purpose of dyeing it after all. Other than that, people are likely to notice her wide smile or, upon interaction, her very enthusiastic and sociable ways of dealing with people. 

Would they change anything about the way they look? Janys thinks of her face as being very plain. She often finds herself wishing she would look more like those women with small waist and voluptuous curves and very beautiful faces that make men turn around to have a second glance. 

How do they smell? What does their voice sound like? Janys often smells somewhat sweaty and earthy because she spends so much time on the road and often goes for several days to even weeks without having an occasion to stop and take a bath somewhere. Her voice is not very outstanding, however, it tends to be quite loud.

How do they dress? Any tattoos or piercings? Is fashion important to them? Usually, she prefers practical clothes, meaning pants and light armor, made of leather, sometimes with a light chainmail worn under it. Agility is vital to her combat style. When in casual attire, she still does not really care for fashion, partially in order to distance herself from the other ‘high society’ women who pour lots of effort and money into being fashionable.

What are their physical strengths and weakness? Are they strong? Fast? Agile? Graceful? While lacking physical strength, she is a very agile person who can move quickly. However, she often spends her free time on the road with exercise, using swords heavier than her usual, specifically light-weighted weapons in order to train her muscles. Her grace is limited- while she might not move like the nobility she is, one can see that much effort must have been put into slowing down and refining her naturally rather hectic and careless movements.

I am back but now I feel sad and scared bc those people I threaded with most are gone and also this OC week with all those cool loved OCs and then there’s me flopping around in the background and someone stop me before I crawl back into my snailshell 

[lethendrxlis-deactivated2015070]

Fenris looked in the woman’s direction, a scowl set on his features. He glared at her momentarily before responding, “It’s the only tavern nearby. That’s why I came,” He shrugged. “My day was alright, actually. I killed some more Tevinter slavers in the area—that should hold them off, for a while.” He took a swig from his glass of ale, nose scrunching up from how strong the alcohol was. “I just have a headache. That’s all.”

[loyalxsword]

“You’re weird,” Janys declared after some seconds of thought. “I always thought escaped slaves just kinda start a new normal life once they got away. If taking risks to obtain it, why gamble? You could encounter a group who is.. well.. stronger than you? That doesn’t make much sense to me, honestly.” As if she knew anything about slavery and new beginnings

“I can talk politics while they get off, I suppose,” he said, laughing. “As long as they don’t hurt us without permission they’re free to do whatever they want. As for personal questions, I don’t mind. After all, I do a lot more for my work.”

[loyalxsword]

“Is it difficult to keep work and personal life separated? I mean, sex is kind of... personal. To be honest, I never got those who manage without attachment at all.” Admirable, sure, opening the door for much more fun than just a few mugs of beer too much during an evening with friends. 

[loyalxsword]

hello, please consider following lookingforhonour, my multimuse blog for Elder Scrolls, for both Janys and her brother Michael belong to the muses represented on that blog. 

Of course I will do my best to remain active here as well. 

[wildwindtrail]

“Well, yes, that’ s quite true.”Nedra laughed careless. “I’m sorry about that, but I don’t have any money with me. Maybe you can sell these? “she tossed her a little bag, full of gold jewelry and some coins. “That was in his pocket, I took it, I don’t know, just for fun because he seemed to like it. “

She looked around. “It’s getting dark again, the sky is cloudy. We better go.” Nedra snapped her fingers and small light appeared on her hand. She saw good in the dark, but she wasn’t sure if the other one did. 

“I am Nedra, if you want to know. I was hired to kill that man, because of the things he had done. I am not usually playing an assassin, I’m actually a Grey Warden, though I ‘m on vacation from that.” Nedra explained as she walked forward.

[loyalxsword]

The young woman caught the small sachet. “Why do you do that?”, she inquired with a frown. Indeed, it was more than enough to substitute the payment she would have received for this contract. “I mean... I’m a stranger. Most people wouldn’t even give another a sip of their ale, let alone gold and jewelry.” Unless that woman just simply had more than enough of her own.  “You’re a mage?” Well, what a stupid question, though it did not seem to change Janys’ stance much. It was merely surprising to see a potential mage being physically active enough for such an escape. “I’m Janys and I was hired not to kill that man.” A low laugh that died away once this Nedra admitted that she was member of the grey wardens. “Really? I always believed once a warden always a warden.” 

[whisperedisolation-blog]

“You’re not one to burn, you’re made of wool.” She giggled, her face lighting up like it hadn’t before. In the light, she seemed tired and blue, but even the natural cerulean pigment of her cheeks seemed warm in her small grin. “Like a sheep is, before we clean up for summer. They burn a different way.. Everyone scars, scars just mean you survived. There’s worse, you’re right.”

Like belonging to someone forever.

She pressed her fingers together, her head inclining to look behind her at the old rocks of the ruin. She nodded slowly, her fingertips reaching it and gently pressing into the cold stone. “Mm, they’re easy to hear when you stop to listen. Harder to touch, though I can sometimes. Most of them are tired, they just want to rest sort of… I’m sending them away, so no one uses them.”

[loyalxsword]

“Wool?” Even though Janys meant to avoid it, she failed to hold back a laugh at this comment. Had she had a free hand, she would have stood with one of her hands on her hips as she eyed the elvish girl. “Do I look like a sheep to you?” Or did the girl merely address her lack of scars? She did hear that no hair grew on those.  “Wait, wait, moment. Let’s recapitulate. You can talk to the spirits of those who die here and even touch them and send them into eternal rest or something?” Well, of this did not sound like some suspicious magic... or even an actual ghost among others, unable to realize that it died long ago. Maybe died in fire.

He grinned wickedly, deciding that the woman knew too much and she and everybody in the tavern would have to die, lest they catch onto his motives and such. He very carefully began to speak in his sirens song, the words that could make men jump from ships into roaring oceans to meet an incubus such as himself, dashing their ships against rocks just for a glimpse of such a perfect tune.

“I really do think that we should get out of here, i’d love to have you to myself in a more… private setting…”

She had a nice body, a form one didnt see much in the area. A foreigner, most likely. He liked it. If he could manage, he’d try to get into her pants before bleeding her dry and making her one of the victims she had taken up the vendetta of.

[loyalxsword]

Something inside of her chest stirred as he proposed to go somewhere private with an irresistible allure no man should have. She felt light-headed and for some seconds, every thought came blurred through a numb haze. Expelle corruptionem et fallacies obscuras. Defende animam et corporam et libera me ab omne perpurbationem. Holy words repeated over and over again by her inner voice, slowly clearing the mist inside of her head. The man must be a bloodmage.

“Someplace.. private?” Her voice sounded dreamy, one hand rose to adjust a stray strand of hair that hindered the view. Do not let anyone notice. “Where do you have in mind?”
