Angsty Neanderthal teen being guided by his new friend into the darkness.

I wanted to try my hand at the Frieren looking up art challenge. I drew my Neanderthal OC instead. It's better if I practice drawing him. Being a Neanderthal, his facial features are different and I still need to get used to drawing them. Tried to capture Junar's chinless face, big nose and brows.

Vol. 3 of OC questions!

There was no designated 'volumes' in past posts, but it is becoming a series at this point. Here are more OC prompt questions I've answered about my story and characters!

Q. Your original character is now a detective on a murder case! Do you think they would be able to solve it?

Junar does end up involved in a murder case (as the prime suspect) And has to prove his innocence. He's not very good at it to be honest xD

Q. Have they ever committed a crime? Intentionally or not?

Junar has committed crimes. Some intentionally, but most were not. Still done by his own hands, though. (The previous question is kind of related...)

Q. What’s the average life story of a wizard-like profession in your world? (How did they start? Where were they taught? What did they do most of their lives? Etcetera.)

In my story's world there are Shamans and Sorcerers. Shamans are more like 'doctors'. Their spirituality is not their defining characteristic. It's mostly their knowledge. They train from childhood and never have a partner. Sorcerers deal with spirits. No practice or special knowledge required. However, they must establish a relationship with a spirit. It can be difficult and may require secret knowledge if it's the human trying to initiate the relationship, but if it is the other way around, it's smooth sailing. In fact, you might get trapped into one.

(A shaman design)

Q. How good is your original character with children?

You can't trust Junar with kids. He knows how to keep a child alive, but when it comes to discipline and keeping the child happy… he's awful.

However, he is amazing with his little sister. She's the only exception.

Q. How in shape is your original character? Do they have the strength of gods, or are they cursed with noodle arms?

By virtue of living a life that depends on physical strength, he has to be strong. And being a Neanderthal gives him bonus power.

Fun fact: apparently modern humans are unlikely to win against a Neanderthal in a fist fight. They had more muscle mass. Instant K.O.

Q. How can someone win over your original character? Can they get bribed? Or what personality traits do they warm up to easier?

Junar is somewhat gullible. It comes down to the fact that he grew up in a family that was very honest or 'blunt' to each other. They don't keep secrets and had no need to.

He'll get along with anyone nice to him. He will also believe everything he is told.

That's it for now!

Lost Mysteries of the Ancients

Part 3B -- Important NPCs (Pol)

Environmental dialogue, prior to talking with Junar:

Pol: Err... hello there. I don't think we've met.

After speaking with Junar:

Pol: It was good to meet you. Perhaps I'll get to hunt with you some day.

Dialogue Options:

I've never seen a shemlen city. What's it like? [1]

Do elves from the city learn to fight or shoot a bow? [2]

We hear city elves don't know what it means to be elven. [3]

Why did you leave the city? [4]

I should go. [5]

1 - I've never seen a shemlen city.

Pol: You've never been to a city? Surely you've at least visited a town? Junar: We occasionally trade with the shemlen in small villages, but only a few in the clan can undertake that task. Pol: I can't imagine never having seen a city. It's... crowded, with buildings all squeezed together. There are people everywhere, and it always stinks. Dialogue Options: - And elves live with the shemlen? [6] - Do elves from the city learn to fight or shoot a bow? [2] - We hear city elves don't know what it means to be elven. [3] - Why did you leave the city? [4] - I should go. [5]

2 - Do elves from the city learn to fight or shoot a bow?

Pol: Andraste's mercy, no! No one is allowed to walk around with any weapon. Pol: Fighting just gets you arrested. And I've never had to leave the city before, much less learn how to hunt. Dialogue Options: - I've never seen a shemlen city. What's it like? [1] - We hear city elves don't know what it means to be elven. [3] - Why did you leave the city? [4] - I should go. [5]

3 - We hear city elves don't know what it means to be elven.

Pol: Well, back in the city, we hear the same about you--stories about Dalish bandits attacking people for no reason. Junar: We would never resort to banditry! Pol: I'm just saying that's what we hear. And it's elves who say these things, too, not humans. Dialogue Options: - They just don't know the truth. [8] - I've never seen a shemlen city. What's it like? [1] - Do elves from the city learn to fight or shoot a bow? [2] - Why did you leave the city? [4] - I should go. [5]

4 - Why did you leave the city?

Pol: I got into trouble for stealing. I'm not a thief... we just never really had a choice. Pol: Mother was a maid, and I was lucky if I could get work at the docks. You make a living however you can, right? Pol: When Mother died, I got drunk, and was caught picking a guard's pocket. They were going to hang me, but I escaped, and... well, here I am. Dialogue Options: - We don't have much call for thieving. - Sometimes we must take what we need. - You won't have to resort to that anymore. Pol: I'll do my best to adjust and fit in... I never dreamed you'd be so welcoming. Pol: I thought at best you might hide me for a bit. (Chuckles.) I'm glad I was wrong.

5 – I should go.

Pol: Of course. I hope to see you again. [Ends conversation]

6 - And elves live with the shemlen?

Pol: Only if they're servants. Most of us live in a part of the city called an "alienage," separated from the humans by walls. Pol: That's where all the poorest folk live. Laborers, dockhands, and thieves... and that's if you're lucky. Dialogue Options: - That hardly sounds like freedom. [7] - Do elves from the city learn to fight or shoot a bow? [2] - We hear city elves don't know what it means to be elven. [3] - Why did you leave the city? [4] - I should go. [5]

7 - That hardly sounds like freedom.

Pol: We don't think about it like that. To most folks, that's just how it is. Dialogue Options: - Do elves from the city learn to fight or shoot a bow? [2] - We hear city elves don't know what it means to be elven. [3] - Why did you leave the city? [4] - I should go. [5]

8 - They just don't know the truth.

Pol: Even if they did, I honestly don't think most of them would want to leave. Wandering and hunting doesn't sound like much of a life. Junar: At least they would live as free men, and as equals. Pol: Maybe. But to most elves I know, the only difference between them and humans is how much coin they have. Coin is the great equalizer, not living free. Dialogue Options: - I've never seen a shemlen city. What's it like? [1] - Do elves from the city learn to fight or shoot a bow? [2] - Why did you leave the city? [4] - I should go. [5]

Lost Mysteries of the Ancients

Part 3B - Important NPCs (Junar)

Conversation (Plays on first interaction):

Junar: Ah, it's good you're well! You weren't here when Pol arrived, were you?

Pol: I've heard of you. Everyone is talking about you and the other missing hunter. A Grey Warden brought you back here!

Dialogue Options:

The hunter's name is Tamlen.

Pol: I hope you find him soon. Junar: Pol is a "flat-ear". He arrived here a few days ago from the human lands.

Do you know about Grey Wardens?

Pol: Only from stories I heard back in the Alienage in Denerim. Junar: Pol is a "flat-ear". He arrived here a few days ago from the human lands.

You're not Dalish, are you?

Pol: That obvious, is it? I just found your camp a couple of days ago... a lucky thing.

Pol: I heard rumors in a nearby human village that a Dalish camp was close, and I hoped to find your hunters in the forest.

Junar: You were fortunate I didn't shoot you, Pol. I thought you were a shem, and a bandit at that.

Junar: You're not the first city elf to rejoin his people. I'm sure you'll find life among us more satisfying than with the shems, if no less harsh.

Pol: In the Alienage, we hear terrible stories about the Dalish. They... aren't true, right?

Dialogue Options:

Only the parts where we sacrifice young elves to the gods.

Pol: (Laughs awkwardly) That's funny! It's... it is funny, right? You don't actually do that?

Prove yourself useful and the clan will be your home.

Pol: I'll do my best. I hope they... we... find your missing friend very soon.

Just don't be a coward like some and flee.

Pol: I'll do my best. I hope they... we... find your missing friend very soon.

You've nothing to worry about, Pol.

Pol: Thank you. The clan has been very kind and welcoming. I never expected it to be like this.

[End conversation].

Environmental Dialogue:

Junar: I'm training Pol. He'll have to learn how to handle that bow quickly.
