Hap birth to one of my favourite OCs ever, Seeker/Caspian! (and the only one with an actual assigned birthday so I figured I'd post something for the occasion)

This lad was born in Wildstar (RIP) a number of years ago, and to my continued astonishment and delight has subsequently made his way into other games right alongside me: Fallout 4, SWTOR, Secret World, ESO, and most recently Baldur's Gate; and if all feels right he's my top pick to be my newest Dragon Age protagonist in a few days.

While Seeker's certainly surprised me with how he adapts to each new setting (SWTOR Cas would be a little horrified by how Cypher's turned out, and Seeker was NEVER supposed to have pointy ears and then BG3 happened), he's always managed to maintain some key his core traits - logic, defiance, a need for answers and a knack for cracking codes, and always a refusal to allow any higher power to dictate his own destiny. Not to mention getting his left hand fucked up in every single universe, because his player said so.

Anyway, I adore this lad, and I'm looking forward to many more years of Seeker shenanigans!

Some agreeable shots from ESO rps tonight with @jacksothereye <3

I admit, this is very much inspired by your Gale's outfit that has come across my dash a few times, but I wanted to let you know how very much I enjoy seeing the outfits you create/share. I love seeing people dress their characters up in nice outfits, especially since I frequently forget to do anything with mine, and your outifts are some of my favourites. The Gale one is fantastic, though my personal favourite is Quinn's life day outfit - he looks very dapper in it.

I was wondering if you'd be willing to share some more outfits that you're practicularly proud of?

would I be willing to share some more outfits is this even a question

Firstly, thank you so, so much. I get immense enjoyment out of playing dress up with game characters, and it's wonderful to hear that other folks out there enjoy my creations!

If I tried to share ALL the outfits I'm proud of, this post would take ten minutes to scroll through, so I TRIED to limit it to a 'few' I'm particularly pleased with - ones I feel I put some significant effort into, that really came together with the various pieces, or the dyes worked quite well, etc.

SWTOR: Featuring my main boys Caspian and Khel, plus a few others, and of course gotta show my faves Scourge and Quinn (who both have at least six outfits each)

LOTRO: My main, Kemendin, and my new guy, Maahes

ESO: I don't actively play ESO right now, but I did a LOT of outfitting back in the day - mostly for Dhamari, but my others got some fashion love as well

All these and more can be found under my 'kem plays dress up' tag!

Back on my ESO screenshotting apparently

Universes in which Seeker/Caspian has a slightly unhealthy fascination with an ancient, long-disappeared race of assholes who left behind incredibly advanced technology that he later uses to fix his left hand:

WildStar (The Eldan)

Elder Scrolls (The Dwemer)

Star Wars (The Rakata)

Caspian ‘Seeker’ Serapis in his various incarnations. (Left to right: Seeker, Cas, Cypher, Caspian) I was curious what they’d all look like together and I’m actually quite impressed at my own character creation consistency, considering the wildly varying styles in some cases. I don’t share much of his beginnings here, since I have a separate blog for that, but Seeker did originate in Wildstar (RIP). And then he branched out into Elder Scrolls Online, and then Fallout 4, and then Secret World Legends, and it’s been incredibly interesting to see how the different versions of him play out, what character traits stay constant (defiance of authority, lack of faith in higher beings, a penchant for technology) and what differs between them (Seeker is an absolute pacifist, whereas Cypher has zero problem with murdering someone if he needs to).

Anyway there’s really no point to this except my own fascination with this character who started as a random loose concept and developed into pretty much my favourite guy to play.

Ohey I gotta figure out how Seeker’s left hand gets borked in SWTOR.

(It’s turned into a running tradition that no matter the AU, his left hand gets messed up in some way)

So far we have:

Wildstar: Fingers broken by a pissed crime lord then later zapped by a computer backsurge. Gets a cool prosthetic that’s integrated into his muscles/nerves so his hand can function normally again.

ESO: Loses his hand to one of Dhamari’s blades in a fight over a Dwemer artefact. Designs and constructs (with help) a prosthetic as a replacement, based loosely on Dwemer sphere limbs.

Secret World: Wakes up in a back alley of London with his hand mysterious replaced by a metal Third Age artefact/prosthetic. No memory of what happened or who did it (or a lot of his life before).

Fallout: Exact circumstances not yet decided but during an altercation of some sort his hand gets messed up enough that it needs to be amputated by Muds. Later it’s replaced with a synth-esque hand by the Institute.

As far as SWTOR goes, it’s very likely Cas will follow in the grand tradition of getting his hand cut off by a Sith. xD But I’ll keep playing along and see what sort of incident the story might prompt.
