it just occured to me that today is June 8th... which means that in my headcanon land it’s 8th of Mid Year and therefore Bron’s birthday

live long and prosper, ya cowardly skeever

I was supposed to work on some actual artwork today, but somehow I ended up filling this Very Important alignment chart instead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is it bad that I can see Bron saying Bronn (GoT) quotes

Considering that I had just read the first volumes of A Song of Ice and Fire before Skyrim came out, and my Bron was somewhat influenced by both Bronn and Tyrion… No, not bad at all. :’) I haven’t watched the show myself, but these?

Tyrion Lannister:   And here we have Bronn, son of…

Bronn:   You wouldn’t know him.

Bronn:   Oh… are we friends now?

Tyrion Lannister:   Of course we are. Just because I pay you for your services doesn’t diminish our friendship.

Bronn:   Enhances it, really.

Jaime Lannister:   Ahh! Bold warrior you are, attacking a man when his guard’s down. 

Bronn:   Best time to attack a man!

Bronn:   No, no. Not me. I’m just an up-jump sellsword.

Jaime Lannister:   You’re an anointed knight! There’s quite a difference.

Bronn:   Aye, knights don’t get paid.

Jaime Lannister:  [referring to Drogon] That was only one of them. She has two more. If she decides to use them, to really use them… 

Bronn:   You’re fucked. 

Jaime Lannister:   Don’t you mean we’re fucked? 

Bronn:   No, I do not. Dragons are where our partnership ends.

Yeah, these sound about right to me.

What would your original characters look like in the Overwatch World?

Ooh, crossover time! I went for my Skyrim characters since those were the easiest to come up with and also because this turned out long enough as it is. My original intention was to do just some armor mashups, but I waded a bit too deep into the “what if” territory, and now my guys also have rough skillsets to go with the outfits.

Disclaimer: these have nothing to do with game balance or viability, I just felt like they could fit these particular characters… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯So, here goes:

Skaila the Dragonborn aka “what if Reinhardt had a massive battleaxe and could also shout you down?” Heavy armor to compensate for the fact that she decided to bring an axe to a gun fight. Sturdy and shouty, but nomovement abilities.

Type: Melee 

Role: Offense 

Weapon & Abilities:

Wuuthrad: Slash targets in front of you with a mighty swing. Charged attacks are slower, but will inflict extra damage

Bash: Slam your weapon into a close range enemy with a chance of interrupting them

Unrelenting Force: Amplify air and sound to knock down enemies caught in its wake

Ultimate:

Dragon Shout: Combine shout with one of two types of reagents. Fire Breath inflicts intense burning damage to all enemies caught in the blast. Frost Breath does less freezing damage, but it can also slow enemies down

Passives:

Storm’s Tears: Wuuthrad inflicts extra damage to elves omnics

Juggernaut: Grants a minor resistance against projectiles

Bron the Ultimate Thief aka “the unholy mix of Hanzo and Sombra that will steal your ultimate and probably ruin the match for both teams”. Low health, high annoyance. 

Type: Ranged 

Role: Defense 

Weapon & Abilities:

Nightingale Bow: Fires an arrow at a target

Poison Arrow: A poisoned arrow will inflict additional damage over time

Sneak: Become invisible for 6 seconds

Ultimate:

Heist: Steal 10% of ultimate charge from all enemies caught in the radius

Passives:

Muffled Movement: Reduced noise generated by footsteps

Thief: Ultimate charge gained by killing an enemy will be reduced from the target’s ultimate counter. Only applies to final blows

Laraniel the Seer aka “it’s not magic, it’s just, uh, really advanced science - I promise“. Jack of many trades, but mostly focused on restoration/alteration/illusion. 

Type: Ranged/Beam 

Role: Support

Weapon & Abilities:

Staff of Magnus/Staff of Mending: Staff of Magnus shoots an energy beam that absorbs health from the enemy target it hits. Staff of Mending creates floating restorative orbs that heal an ally they come in contact with

Greater Ward: Encase a friendly target within a protective barrier that negates damage and other effectsfor 6 seconds

Detect Life: Nearby living creatures can be seen through walls. Effect is not visible to others

Ultimate:

Vision of the Tenth Eye: Reveal all enemies that have an ultimate ability available. The vision is shared with your allies

Passives:

Clairvoyance: Reveal three unused first aid kits closest to you

___

EDIT: Altered Laraniel’s would-be ultimate to make it a better fit for the seer theme

So I was reading some of your older Skyrim strips and I need to ask: did Bron ever return the Skeleton Key to the Twilight Sepulcher? :D

No, he didn’t. :’) I was actually about to finish the Thieves Guild questline once and for all, but the universe intervened: my computer died and took all my Skyrim saves with it. The only backup copy I could find from an external hard drive was of level 3 Bron with no guild leathers, no skeleton key, and no money in general. So, since he has to re-acquire the key (not to mention steal everything all over again) I doubt Nocturnal will see her trinket anytime soon.

[isriana]

Since Bron has used thu'um in a tight spot, has he ever taken advantage of yells like Laas Yah Nir, Tiid Klo Ul or Feim Zii Gron? I can imagine all being pretty useful for thievery

No, I’m pretty sure I haven’t collected any of those shouts fully before, just one word here and there. “Aura Whisper” at least seems like it could come in handy because Detect Life spell isn’t in his repertoire. “Become Ethereal” might be nice for a speed boost, but I’m not sure if I’d actually use it that much in the end… And I know “Slow Time” won’t be accessible to Bron since one part of it is in Labyrinthian which can be accessed only during the College of Winterhold questline.

[isriana]

Character themed decks hardly ever work, but that doesn’t stop me from trying to make them :P

[isriana]

Would Bron be the sort of dad to crack dad jokes?

I was about to say no, but then I remembered that I already drew this… :’D
