STULDR.

DRAGON OF THE NORTH.

[stuldr]

independent, private & selective roleplay account for zoren, the protagonist of the elder scrolls : skyrim. known as the last dragonborn, the leader of the thieves guild and the guild master of the explorer's guild. based in the elder scrolls universe. penned by asa, 30+, he/him. explore the carrd before following. blogroll. @svartr.

hmmmmmmm snow elf equiv in dnd would be ?

[stuldr]

[stuldr]

most of what zoren knows of his childhood is via another's mouth. he has no idea who his mother or father truly are. he was told that they died in the war but he has no way of knowing how accurate that is. he doesn't know his species, he is just guessing. certain features like his pointed ears suggest that he is at the very least part elf. facial structure resembles a nord. but nothing is certain.

so when zoren learns that he has the soul of a dragon, he finally feels like he has a piece of himself that he has been chasing forever. lacking an identity for so long has severely messed with his head and made him very flimsy. he was more likely to run away than confront anything because it was easier. even when he joined the thieves guild, it felt like he was putting on a mask and performing tasks for everyone around him. he was never living for himself.

when he became dragonborn, that's when he started to truly live for himself. it took him decades to get to this point and in no way is he mentally healthy (bc even discovering a big part of yourself doesn't erase everything that he went through to get to this point), but for the first time, he is much happier and the most him that he has ever been.

[stuldr]

something i find interesting about zoren is when he is faced with someone who is like him ( avoidant with feelings ), he calls them out on their bullshit and has no issue pursuing them himself. in a twisted way, i think it's the familiarity that feels safe to him.

[stuldr]

zoren loves physical affection .. until you explicitly state that you want something more than that, on an emotional level. he will 100% check out mentally.

[stuldr]

a fun night spent with too much drink, zoren wakes relatively early to slip out of the bed shared with another. he does his best to redress himself in a quiet manner, not wanting to wake the other. he's holding his breath as he sneaks to the door to make his escape.

[stuldr]

feel free to continue prompts as threads btw. thats what they are there for.

[stuldr]

just a guy too stubborn to die, zoren can be found standing amidst the wreckage not far off from where the protagonist awakens. he is seen trying to lockpick his way into the dank crypt. despite having a literal tadpole in his head, he seems more concerned with breaking into the nearby tomb than anything else.

@stabsilk said, " everything looks okay after ten beers. "

a hand holds up his bottle of ale to salute her words of wisdom. sadly, it's nothing fancy, just something they picked up in the last tavern. that's what he gets for deciding to stop at a place located in the middle of nowhere.

" can't wait until i'm drunk enough to forget that horrendous haul. could've robbed a granny and gotten something far better. " he lowers his drink. a spark in his eye. that's a good idea. " do you know of any vulnerable old ladies nearby ? maybe we can turn our luck around, or at least, breakeven. traveling isn't cheap ! "

[stuldr]

in the verses that aren't tes, he really is just a thief guy who is enthusiastic about tomb robbing artifact hunting who gets swept up in whatever is happening in that universe.

how long have you been sober?

i heard the first 90 days are the toughest.

i know it doesn't add up, but i get something from holding onto this.

we're going the wrong way!

oh please, [ NAME ], could you not patronize me?

hey, can you keep it down please?

you know i hate it when you don't take the things i say seriously.

come on sweetheart, i just had a rough day today.

you're drunk, what a surprise!

that's not it, it never is!

you've been saying that for years!

everything looks okay after ten beers.

i could use a little help.

that's a real low blow.

don't you know how tough this is for me?

at least one of us is having a good time.

reminds me of some creepy cult.

this is a valuable, rare, and sought-after collection.

i'd like to have a bath in peace.

the devil himself would struggle with you.

this place is crazy enough without your two cents.

what's all the noise about?

[ NAME ], help! what should i do?!

stop, it's too late!

i'm sure there's nothing to worry about.

there was nothing you could do.

what's happened has happened.

do you trust your head, or your heart?

my advice, for what it's worth, is... to thine own self be true.

i'm not supposed to interfere.

what do you want me to do, [ NAME ]?!

calm down, genius, i already tried making a call.

hey, [ NAME ], how are you doing?

i don't remember being in any crash.

you're probably in mild shock.

i'm fine, thanks for asking.

think of it as a character building exercise.

teamwork at its finest.

i've got no signal either, must be a dead spot.

– and we've already concluded this conversation.

no need for a vote, decision's been made.

we really don't have time to be arguing.

try to be civil, it costs nothing.

try sticking up for yourself sometime.

i'm not wasting another breath on you.

the last thing we need is you causing trouble.

you wanna come along and wait with me?

i still think the smart move is to stick together.

how'd we end up back here?

there's a rational explanation for what's happening.

i'm doing my best to understand this, just like you.

we're trapped in a nightmare.

we have to get outta here right fucking now.

this isn't helping us find help!

there's nowhere else we can go except into that damn town.

i'm not sure this is such a great idea.

we're really going to get into this now?

i need to know 100% that i can rely on you.

we standing here all night or are we going inside?

life moves on, but we don't all go with it.

there's a phone, but it's been dead for years.

anything you can do would be greatly appreciated.

i saw someone in the woods.

nobody would be out here at this ungodly hour.

okay, very good, i'm freaked. who's there?

[ NAME ]? where are you? this isn't funny!

what is your name, sir?

what treachery is this now, [ NAME ]?

[ NAME ], come back here!

how can you not have seen that?!

"stressed", my ass!

you got a better idea?

i'm just gonna say it ... this is exactly what goes down in horror movies.

what the hell do we do now?

i'll deal with this, you stay right here.

who are you? what are you doing here?

what the hell are you? what do you want?!

a black tongue full of riddles, i'll have none of it.

fix your gaze elsewhere!

i am very far from okay ... i'm terrified and confused.

you're blowing this out of proportion, [ NAME ].

fuck that, i'm going another way.

don't you watch horror movies? you never, ever split up.

those movies are dumb.

can we just take a breath and think about what our next move is?

it's not safe for you to be hanging out here on your own.

thanks for coming after me.

the hell are you doing with a gun?

what we don't need is to get someone killed.

make sure the damn thing stays in your pants.

that "terrifying creature" was, in, fact, a cat.

there must be a radio or a working phone inside.

gimme that, i'll smash the window.

if you're feeling under pressure, let someone else do it.

even if you make it, there's no way i'm following.

i might've made a bad call here.

woah, you can't be doing that!

tell me that didn't just happen.

get away or they'll find me!

let's not hang around here, it's time to go.

seriously? you're going in there?

i don't like the idea of being out here on my own.

i'll be as fast as i can, okay?

[ NAME ], the door won't open.

woah, hey, take it easy.

can you stop reacting to every setback like a child?

we'll find a way out of here. we have to.

i appreciate you checking in with me.

who would want land in this godforsaken town?

tell me that didn't just happen.

who would say such a thing?

you look freaked, what's up?

you saw something else, right?

we're really screwed up, here.

can you tell me what you're upset about?

what's going on with you?

i'm going to help you out here if i can, but i need to know your name.

you cannot talk of our secret.

we have an understanding, do we not?

what more proof is needed that the devil walks among us?

the devil is here in this very room.

what the hell was that shit? was that for real?

like i say, i have no good explanation.

when you first told me, i thought you were messing with me.

let's try to force the handle.

still think splitting up was the right move?

personally, i think we're in deep shit here.

maybe the answer lies down the one path we haven't taken yet.

this is fucking crazy, we have no clue what we're getting ourselves into.

[ NAME ], you need to see this.

we were never meant to make it out of here.

i can't see for shit.

you keep saying you're in charge, so... you first.

we can't stay here.

you ever have any family here?

it's already been a hell of a night, but i'm sure we'll pull through.

you don't know that it's safe.

let us pray in silence.

i've done no wrong!

i do not deserve death, i beg you!

who are you ? and how come you look just like [ NAME ]?

the devil is in the wind, seeking to help his own.

[ NAME ], let us conclude our business here swiftly.

[ LOCATION ] is already lost, shrouded in evil!

the devil takes many forms, you know that better than any!

while [ NAME ] still draws breath, [ LOCATION ] is beyond salvation.

i don't know how to tell you what i just saw.

give me a moment, will you? i've just gone through something pretty rough.

what the hell is that?!

don't leave me behind!

i'm coming back for you, [ NAME ]! hold on!

reach out and grab my hand!

that was really quite close.

not that there's anything particularly wrong with death.

that gun might prove to be a lifesaver. or the precise opposite.

this must be very confusing for you right now.

i dare say we'll find out, hmm?

what in the name of holy fuck was that?

it was like something from a nightmare, did you see how it looked?

whatever that thing was, it's gone now.

thank god we're okay.

you are going to tell me right now what happened.

let's ... stay away from that.

i'm all for putting as much distance between us and that hideous thing as possible.

can't a guy get some peace around here?

i don't think there is another way.

[ LOCATION ] isn't a place i want to revisit.

i'm taking this to protect you.

why can't you leave me alone?

it could be leading us into danger, even a trap!

stay close ... who knows what's up ahead.

what did they do to deserve that?

it's just you and me now.

he hadn't seen the blade coming. and as fast as he was with his reflexes, his concern for where florence was located distracted him temporarily, blinding him at just the right moment. at the exact moment that he is being stabbed, his left hand lifts to grab hold of the attacker's face. a strong amount of heat quickly grows in his palm ; there's no hesitation as he forms a ball of fire to incinerate him.

as the body falls, zoren finds a spot on the ground shortly after. he drags himself away from the dead to lean against the wall. the crypt isn't all that comforting. the smells are off-putting and every creak has him on high alert. if only he didn't have such an adventurous spirit. he could be spending his days in a tavern where he's at least got a roof over his head, warm meals and a hot bath. instead, he's here, staring at the draugr and bandits that lay at his feet.

the thief only allows himself to semi-relax when he sees florence running towards him, perfectly fine. " what a beautiful sight to have before the end. " with his magic run dry and his potion supplies amiss, he hasn't been able to heal himself. his hand is held against his wound, trying to slow the bleeding. " did you at least manage to get the sword we were after ? "

@saintsdawn.

[stuldr]

like for a thread & help me figure out his voice some more ?

i am weak to the whole hero from humble beginnings, hero who doesn't believe he is worthy of the power given to him, hero who struggles between being who he has always been whilst trying to do what is right..
