Started with just my TES ocs, delved into Team Dragonborn (minus Anum-La & Zora bcus i haven’t doodled them yet), ended up with a mish-mash of both....i need to go to bed
Figured I’d have to post this eventually - fair warning these are kinda rough, I was never good at this sorta thing lol. But enjoy! A quick masterpost of my Skyrim ocs (might add Oblivion + Morrowind ones whenever I play those games)
Under the cut because, hoo boy, do I have a tendency to ramble
Name(Titles): Jeer-Tei Perdes (Dragonborn / Legate Perdes / Listener / Harbinger / Slayer of Miraak, Alduin, Paarthurnax and Ulfric / Champion of Hircine)
Race: Argonian
Gender/Sexuality: Nonbinary (They/Them) / Gay
Birthsign: Steed
Age: Roughly Late 20s/Early 30s to Mid/Late 30s (As of the events of Skryim + Dragonborn DLC), Roughly early/mid 50s (events of VIGILANT + Dawnguard DLC)
Reference Sheet: (x)
Jeer-Tei had an interesting start in life, their egg abandoned near the docks of Satakalaam, only to be discovered by a local Redguard blacksmith picking up his shipments. Once hatched, they were raised under Redguard traditions and values - from its pantheon to the general disdain of magic - & would carry these beliefs over upon their arrival to Skyrim as a young adult. Tei didn’t intend on staying in the province, especially with the rumors of a civil war bubbling, but unfortunately got scammed into working at the Windhelm docks for the next few years. During this, they felt sympathy for the Dunmer and Argonians stuck in the city and chose to stick around to guard both the Assemblage & Gray Quarter at night from the unruly locals. It was a bit before the time of Ulfric’s capture when Tei would officially leave Windhelm, Rumarin & Lucifer in tow, unknowingly starting the path towards Alduin’s defeat. Which they have...strong opinions of.
Trivia/Fun facts:
Tei was never one to worship the Divines (who they refer to as the “Imperial Cult” with much disdain), so the fact they were this supposed hero of Akatosh leaves a bad taste in their mouth.
Could care less about the Empire. While they definitely didn’t agree with Ulfric’s causes, they didn’t want to work for a faction that abandoned their home to the Thalmor. Unfortunately, they were strong armed into joining the Empire’s army due to previous actions having consequences.
Tei was infected with Canis Hysteria (Lycanthropy) early in their arrival to Skyrim, they quickly learned to live with it & became a follower of Hircine.
Post-Alduin & CW, Tei unfortunately doesn’t spend much time at home. More often than not they’re taking trips to Solitude or even Cyrodiil itself as Skyrim’s rep - or is holed up in Skyhaven with Blade business
Name(Titles): Meixiu (Mei) Perdes (That one tall chick who keeps raising the dead)
Race: Argonian/Altmer
Gender/Sexuality: Girl...Perhaps (She/Her) / Lesbian
Birthsign: Apprentice
Age: Late teens to Early/Sorta Mid 20s (Events of VIGILANT + Dawnguard DLC, Bit of College of Winterhold quest as well)
Reference Sheet: (x)
Hatched and raised in Ivarstead, Mei is the youngest (next to her twin, Otero) of the Perdes family, & the most magic-oriented to boot. She always had a fascination with the schools, putting her at odds with her 3 parents - but thankfully, they were never ones to keep her from learning. Mei would become a student at the College of Winterhold at a relatively young age, learning that her talents shine the most with a mix of Conjuration and Dwemer tech! After....an unfortunate incident down in the Midden...We don’t talk about it. Regardless, it gained her a spot in a transfer program to Shimmerene’s mage guild - conveniently where she missed out on the whole orb debacle she and some fellow students were looking into...huh. But hey! Summerset is really nice & she gets to apply her studies towards helping people...right?
Trivia/Fun facts:
Mei is roughly 8′3″ when fully grown - she tends to forget how this height can intimidate people
She is very interested on the concept of souls & how the Dwemer worked with them. But she insists it’s on ways to help people - rather than trapping them in the machines
Mei’s very open-minded on some ideas that those might be uncomfortable with. She herself doesn’t fully understand the whole upset about raising the dead & soul gems herself.
Her spine+neck is very flexible (think ferret-spine). Regardless, she does need to wear a brace occasionally because being a long-bendy noodle is not good for your back.
Name(Titles): Otero Perdes (Child of Stendarr / Slayer of Harkon)
Race: Argonian/Akaviri
Gender/Sexuality: Transmasc (He/Him) / Demisexual
Birthsign: Apprentice
Age: Late teens to Early/Sorta Mid 20s (Events of VIGILANT + Dawnguard DLC)
Reference Sheet: (x)
Youngest of the Perdes family, next to Mei, Otero is often seen as the less approachable one of the family. (A feat in itself, considering how intimidating Tei became) He’s rude, quick to see someone as a threat, and has very little tolerance for Daedra, their worshippers, or the undead. It wasn’t always like this, however; Otero was initially a quiet child, struggling with ways to step out of his parent’s shadow. As it turned out, he was “blessed” with the same beast blood Tei held - his first transformation happening at the age of 13. This ended up traumatizing him & would create a rift with Tei for years to come - as the two had vastly different views on the situation. Not long after Mei left for Winterhold, Otero would run off himself - ending up near Dawnstar & taken under Altano’s wing to become a Vigilant. (Something Tei didn’t agree with, but they were of the belief of letting Otero see things through on his end.) It was here where he met Pelath, and where both had suffered from Molag Bal’s games. After the events of VIGILANT, Otero would soon join the Dawnguard with a new-found hatred for vampires, being the one to kill Harkon alongside Serana.
Trivia/Fun facts:
If you had to assign Otero a class from the previous Elder Scroll games, it would be Crusader.
While now very skilled in the art of Restoration & One-handed weapons, Otero was far from it when he first joined the Vigilants. His mastery came from many grueling training sessions, alongside many more life & death situations.
The only vampire he truly tolerated/trusted is Serana - even willing to defend her if she had decided not to cure herself.
I hope you don’t have a rough n gruff voice hc for him, because his main voice claim/reference is Jason Schwartzmann
Name(Titles): Pelath Elsinire (Shezarr / Keeper of Stuhn’s Ravine)
Race: Altmer
Gender/Sexuality: Bigender (He/Him + She/Her) / Pansexual
Birthsign: Lord
Age: Early to Mid/Sorta late 20s (Events of VIGILANT + Dawnguard DLC)
A runaway from Summerset, Pelath came to Skyrim in hopes for a new life. What she didn’t expect was to be thrown headfirst into a whole Daedric debacle. After being recruited by Altano, Pelath was assigned to be Otero’s partner in missions - the two having a relatively rough start due to Otero’s general attitude, but they quickly bond & come to rely on one another, especially after getting trapped in Cold Harbour. The whole event was life-changing, to say the least, & Pelath still struggles with the fact that he is Shezarr incarnate - since...y’know...Elf. But there’s no time to fret on such things, Pel is a follower of Stendarr first, and that’s going to be the focus.
Trivia/Fun facts:
Pel would assist Otero in the events of Dawnguard, while she wouldn’t be there for the final fight, she would help provide healing & other resources. In fact, Pel was the reason Otero didn’t end up getting into a worse situation with Serana when the two discovered her, as he was quite ready to attack the vampire.
She is a jack of all trades when it comes to the different schools of magic, Illusion is her strong suit.
Pel and Otero do have some romantic chemistry, but both agreed on the fact that neither are truly ready for a relationship right now.
Has no idea where the face scar came from, had it as long as memory serves.
Name(Titles): Courron (Librarian’s Assistant / Archmage-In-Training)
Race: Bosmer/Imperial
Gender/Sexuality: Cis Boy(tm) (He/Him) / AroAce
Birthsign: Lover
Age: Early to Mid/Sorta late 20s (Events of VIGILANT + Dawnguard DLC, College of Winterhold)
Mei’s childhood best friend who doesn’t get paid enough w/ the shit he’s seen. Courron’s the most normal of all the individuals listed, he just wants to get an education & help upkeep the Arcanaeum in Winterhold. Though stopping a Thalmor from misusing the Eye of Magnus is on that list too, he guesses. Courron doesn’t know what mass goal he has in mind and isn’t too psyched about being trained to become Archmage; he’s just happy where he is at now, responding to letters from Mei & occasionally assisting in experiments whenever she comes to visit.
Trivia/Fun facts:
Not to be cringe but he may or may not be a Lucien/Auri fankid. This is probably going to change though lmao
Literally the most normal dude here, just wants to read books and do fancy magic stuff.
Knows what happened with Mei in the Midden, doesn’t talk about it because he isn’t a snitch
Played evil god(tm) and gave him my trait of being damn near-blind & needing strong-ass glasses. Nearsightedness is a bitch
Name(Titles): K’avle (Priest of Stendarr)
Race: Redguard
Gender/Sexuality: Cis male (he/him) / Bisexual
Birthsign: Lady
Age: Early to Mid 50s (Events of Skyrim + Dragonborn DLC) - ~70s (Events of VIGILANT + Dawnguard DLC)

Gonna do my boy Courron for these ones because I need to talk about him more 😭
🍪: What is something that's sentimental to you OC?
A rat plushie! Courron got it during one of his first trips to Cyrodiil with his pops & has treasured it ever since. Its name is Sir Squeaks, who sits vigilantly on top of Courron's study desk.
🍫: Where does your OC go to think?
Would you believe him if he said taverns? The busier the better in his mind. For some reason, Courron could never collect his thoughts in the quiet - he needs some sort of background noise.
I don’t draw Mei enough....need to give my big gorl some love....
She’s chilling w/ her fellow college students/study-buddies here; J’Nur (Alfiq) & Courron (name subject to change, bosmer/imperial...dont look at me i fall in love with ships too easily). Probably chatting bout theories instead of studying
