Garul: You know, you missed your father's funeral. Dubble: Well, last time I talked to him he said, "I'll see you in hell, boy," so I figured we had something on the books.

have you got MBTIs figured out for your ocs? I'm just curious, I love your cast, and would love to know more about them!

I hadn’t! But I did some digging just for u 

Garul is an ENFPJ’shr and Aptus are my Two Beloved ISFJsLurdge and Dulaney are ESTPs (Although Lurdge’s constant self-imposed social isolation has turned her from a Fun ESTP to a Usually Miserable and Nasty ESTP). I thiiiiiink Durza is an ESTP too but idkGhuff is an ISTJRato is undergoing A Lot Of Thought rn so I’m not positive about hers, but I think she’s mostly an ENFJMoggs is a Bigtime ESTJnot super sure about Maulok but I think he’s somewhere between an ESTP and ESFPaand Oraca is a pretty hardcore INTP

and as far as the fallouts go, Harriet is An ENFJ With ENFP Tendencies, Irina is an ISTJ, and Lion is an ISFP!

Quick question! In Garul’s tarot card, is that figure embracing him meant to be Kynareth, or his wife Amrael? Also love your work!

It’s meant to be ambiguous!!! Since Garul’s card is The World it could be interpreted as either Kynareth/religion offering him peace and fulfilment at the end of his life, or Amrael welcoming him into Aetherius

gamrul! gamrul is hot!

what kind of relationships do your characters have with the gods? (not necessarily just the divines, also the daedra or whatever else is applicable)

Divine relations get to be on the complicated side with a few of them but Garul will always be my posterboy for positive religious practices/experiences hohoho. He’s worshiped Kynareth since he was very young and most of his major life events are tied to her in some way or another, to Garul she is a constant and benevolent source of inspiration and happiness and hope!! He passes that on to J’shr as well– J’shr wasn’t raised religious but after a few years with Garul he gets real into The Eight, and worships them for the rest of his little cat life. Aside from Kynareth, he favors Zenithar and Stendarr! 

Lurdge is very apathetic about religion, prior to Morrowind it was a source of anxiety and uncertainty but after she attains immortality and experiences first-hand how fucked up major religious factions can be, she begins seeing it as irrelevant. She has very little faith in any of the divine presences in Mundus and tends to encourage self-sufficiency over reliance on deities.

 However!! Her and Azura are sort of………weirdly buddy-buddy. Lurdge doesn’t worship her, exactly, but she does make the occasional relatively-good-natured offering, and she summons her every so often for counsel. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there’s a part of Lurdge that fully understands the shady implications of Azura’s connection with her as the Nerevarine, but. She is reluctant to let go of one of the few connections she has, even if it is with the daedric prince who is potentially responsible for her entire fate and existence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 Ghuff spent an unreasonable chunk of her life groveling to Malacath for acceptance and now that she’s moved past that phase she is Pretty Done with religious figures of any kind. Still not super sure what happens between her and Hermaeus Mora after Dragonborn 

Durza doesn’t give two shits about religion, her family worshiped Malacath but her ~*rebellious spirit*~ inclined her to reject him. Her apathy towards Malacath means that she doesn’t care that Ghuff was kinda disowned by him, but she does like teasing her about it anyway B’’) 

Oraca doesn’t care very much for the Divines, he is focused on the Daedric Princes. He was raised around a lot of Dunmer who still revered the House Of Troubles so he navigates religion in a very Dunmeri sort of way, and ends up tacking a few Princes onto his worship-list as he ages (Hircine, Hermaeus Mora, tentatively Clavicus Vile). His favored Prince is Mehrunes Dagon for his ambition, power, and association with Morrowind/Vvardenfell. It’s also worth noting that while Oraca is extremely dedicated to his religious studies and practices, he doesn’t have a very spiritual view of the Princes– he sees them more as forces to be manipulated and bargained with than forces to obediently worship

Oraca is also very interested in alternative ways of worshiping the Princes, and as such, tends to pursue Tamriel’s more obscure Daedric cults (he was fascinated by the Mythic Dawn, for example, although he ended up working against them during the Oblivion Crisis– he likes worshiping the Princes but would like to keep them out of tamriel thanks). he was also involved in the events of Shivering Isles but thats all im gonna say bout that rn 

Dulaney is a bit of a religious rollercoaster, she tends to worship the divines based on how well she’s doing in life lmfao. Daggerfall-era Dulaney worshiped The Nine pretty respectably, but she falls out of the habit as her life sinks into the gutter and by Oblivion she’s become very cynical and spiteful to the gods. Her opinion of them improves again as the events of Oblivion play out and I’m pretty sure she ends up a saint after Knights Of The Nine!! 

Moggs and Maulok, with their relation to Gortwog, were both raised on Trinimac rather than Malacath. This doesn’t really waver at all, despite their time around humans neither becomes particularly interested in the Divines. They are both very serious about their religion! To Moggs especially the Priesthoods of Trinimac are closely tied with her efforts for the proliferation of the Orcs– a new and better religion for a new and better Orsinium

Aptus worships The Nine! He is very devoted, what a good egg. His favorites are Mara, Stendarr, Talos, and Zenithar. 

And i will also mention the cat siblings bc why not. Husaraba is an adherent to the Tribunal Temple more or less, she isn’t particularly interested in Dunmeri saints but she does worship Ayem! Ofarazzi, on the other hand, violently hates the Temple and everything related to it. He worships sort of bastardized versions of some Khajiiti gods– Jone, Jode, and Baan Dar in particular.

MERRY CHRISTMAS MY DUDES  👌👌👌👌

CAN U DESCRIBE YOUR OCs VOICES...

I DONT REALLY HAVE VOICECANONS FOR ALL OF THEM SWEATS BUT i do have ideas for SOME 

garul’s voice is p identical to craig fergusson/gobber from httyd, its not actually very deep at all and it’s VERY SINGSONG he has an expressive, cheerful, often exaggerated voice w a very pronounced scottish-sounding accent 

Jshr has a very high scratchy voice that cracks a lot, especially when he gets defensive or excited. kinda like rigby from the regular show but a lil higher B’’) He tends to talk either very quietly or very loudly and does not have an accent or use Khajiiti speech mannerisms (like referring to himself/everyone in 3rd person, “this one", etc)

lurdge has a very specific voice in my head and i feel like ive heard it before somewhere but for now the closest thing i have to it is the khajiit ladies from oblivion!! Her voice is very gnarly and she speaks in a drawly, almost lazy way, usually with a bit of a sneer (unless she’s excited or drunk or unusually friendly). also think of old singers like bob dylan and willie nelson whose voices have been fucked up by alcohol/smoking as they age, lurdge probably has some of that goin on too

Ghuff does not have a voicecanon but her voice is pretty deep and soft and even, i dont have anything specific in mind besides that :’0  I have been imagining Rato as having some degree of a welsh-sounding accent but thats all i got for her too 3 

durzas voice is veery low, the best way i can think to describe it is a sliiiightly deeper and more feminine, uh. “”rounder”” version of delvin mallory’s voice (or alternatively bruce’s voice from finding nemo lmfao), if that makes sense??? i bounce around with her voice a lot but im pretty sure she’d have an accent. She talks in a kinda quiet way bc she likes making people lean in closer to hear what she’s saying

Ofarazzi’s voice is just. standard khajiit voice, pretty much this exactly (fuck i remember watching that when it first came out and bein so goddamn fired up). He has a very pronounced accent and is my only Khajiit who uses typical Khajiiti speech mannerisms when he speaks! Lurdge used to tease him abt it a lot 

Husaraba’s voice is kiiiinda like the standard khajiit lady voice in skyrim, a tad bit deeper and less raspy but she does not actually have a particularly deep voice. Although she has the accent she does not use Khajiiti speech mannerisms, mostly because she has found that it makes the Dunmer she deals with regularly slightly uncomfortable 

I dont have anything specific in mind for the rest of them but. SOMEDAY

did any of your OC's receive formal combat training?

oh yeah!!! A few of them did, even Garul. His training wasn’t anything super special tho, when he and Amrael joined the navy they both got some standard training by a Legion drill sergeant. Im sure he’s forgotten most of it by now, rip.

Lurdge was trained with a bow a little bit by her birth father and more extensively by her adoptive mother Justinia! When Justinia discovered Lurdge had magic she tried to send her off to the Arcane University but that only lasted a day or two before Lurdge was like this is LAME and left (she was also a bit self-conscious probably, she didn’t come into her magic until she was in her 20′s and all the other entry-level students were children) 

 Ghuff was trained but not..formally.. she received a ton of training from Lurdge (who taught her a lot about archery but was Very Unimpressed by her incompetence with magic). She’s used swords for a couple years but she wasn’t too good with them until pretty recently, Delphine gives her some much-needed melee training after they get to Sky Haven. She also got quite a bit of training at her old Stronghold, mostly about hunting, she was super young tho

 Rato was trained by her dad! He took her training extreeeemely seriously holy shit her training was INTENSE. think Hanna but not in the middle of the arctic wilderness. It was mostly swordplay/mounted combat/survival training, she’s almost exclusively self-taught when it comes to magic. 

 Oraca was taught swordplay by his parents, who were Legion deserters living on Solstheim. After he left home he was trained in stealth/hand-to-hand/assassination shit by a Morag Tong assassin named Gunnund who was a super cool lady and i need to post more about her. She taught him on the condition he join the Morag Tong when he had advanced enough but he ended up joining the Dark Brotherhood instead which was a Pretty Dick Move

Aand Moggs also received super high quality training from her uncle Gortwog throughout all her early life, fuckin special ass snowflake. All the attention he gave her made his legitimate sons (including Maulok) v resentful but fuck em am i right
