30 Day Oc Development Meme - Khiroth

1.) Describe your character's relationship with their mother or their father, or both. Was it good? Bad? Were they spoiled rotten, ignored? Do they still get along now, or no? Khiroth never really had a relationship with his biological parents since before he can remember. They were strict when they weren’t absent. As a baby, they left all of his care to a wet nurse. When they went into hiding, he was supposed to be sent to them, but the caravan was attacked and they were separated. He eventually did find them but not until much later. By then he was already grown. All they cared about was him helping them to carry out their revenge on House Redoran. However, they were disgusted to learn that he was a vampire so Khiroth decided not to pursue a relationship with them any further.

His adopted brother Irolere’s father raised him for a short time until he was killed by a Stormcloak soldier in an unprovoked attack. Khiroth wasn’t with him long enough to really get to know him.

Both boys were adopted by a nord family who had a daughter named Faye. Her parents were lax in their parenting, but very nurturing. They did have a set of rules laid out that they expected them to follow. He loved them almost as if they were his own parents, even though he felt out of place, being the only Dunmer.

After the happenings with the Dark Brotherhood, Khiroth has come to have a sense for the Night Mother as his real mother.

2.) What are your characters most prominent physical features?

His most notable features is his angular facial structure. His brow line and cheek bones protrude a bit, making his forehead and cheeks look sunken in slightly.

His skin has paled out some and his eyes gained a reddish glow since becoming a vampire, but it doesn't look too odd for a Dunmer.

3.) Name one scar your character has, and tell us where it came from. If they don't have any, is there a reason?

I haven’t really thought about it. No scars seems too good to be true and just one scar seems cliché. He possibly could have some, but not as many as others considering he is the stealthy type. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have gotten hit by an attack. I haven’t decided yet. I have to think, and weigh his lifestyle and experiences. Putting into account that he is always active and is rarely caught before he strikes, the first blow is usually fatal depending on who the target is. He would have battled dragons, draugr, brainwashed cultists, Miraak, assassinated many people, dodged traps, escaped when the sanctuary was set on fire, been attacked by the Penitus Oculatus, Morag Tong, Dawnguard, bandits, falmer, wild beasts, and the random attacker on the streets. He was also blown up and nearly killed.

4.) How vain is your character? Do they find themselves attractive?

He has no opinion about himself in that way, if not a bit doubtful of things in general.

5.) What's your character's ranking on the Kinsey Scale?

I would say he is a 2. He isn’t entirely bi sexual, but it’s possible he could be interested in a male partner if there was one.

6.) Describe your character's happiest memory.

The happiest time in his life was probably when they were taken in by their nord family even though they were still saddened by what happened just before. The happiest memory in itself was when Khiroth and Irolere got used to Faye’s parents and they felt like a real family.

7.) Is there one event or happening your character would like to erase from their past? Why?

There was an incident from his childhood that he would like to forget. His curiosity got the better of him and he snuck into a neighbor’s house to have a look at one of their books. He was discovered. The older man was very rough with him and out of fear Khiroth accidentally set fire to the house, killing them.

He also doesn’t like to think about when they saw Irolere’s father killed in front of them and were nearly attacked themselves; how horrified and grief stricken his brother looked.

8.) Day of Favorites! What's your character's favorite ice cream flavor? Color? Song? Flower?

They don’t have much in Skyrim since it is set back in the Nordic era, but his favorites are as follows. His favorite food was cheese. His favorite dessert was snowberry crostata. His favorite drink is Sadri’s Sujamma. If he had a favorite flower, it would probably be Nightshade. His favorite song is likely a random tune Cicero was humming, he hears it often enough. His favorite time of the day is the middle of the night. Lastly, his favorite color is red.

9.) Who does your character trust?

Khiroth was skeptical at first but he trusts Cicero, with his life in fact later in their story, once he gained his resolve over everything that’s happened and what that meant for him.

He trusts his adopted siblings wholeheartedly. He used to trust the leader of the Dark Brotherhood Astrid, but that trust soon waned even before the end. He once trusted the other members of the Dark Brotherhood, more so as he earned their respect. He questions that now after Astrid’s betrayal, he couldn’t help but wonder who else spoke about him behind his back and felt the same as she did. He still trusts Nazir and Babette since they proved to be loyal to him.

10.) Can you define a turning point in your character's life? Multiples are acceptable.

You could say the turning points in his life were when he carried out the first contract to kill the cruel headmistress of the Riften orphanage, when he was chosen as Listener, and again when he decided to spare Cicero against orders. It could also be when it was discovered that he was Dragonborn. Or his real turning point would have been when he fully accepted those roles and became comfortable in them.

11.) Is there an animal you equate with your character?

For some reason I think of the Fire Salamanders from Harry Potter.

12.) How is your character with technology? Super savvy, or way behind the times? Letters or email?

He is up to date with commonly used tools and learns quickly, but he doesn’t know about complicated arcane equipment or the advanced technology that was used by the Dwemer that well. Which is why he often asks Vyryor to go with him if he needs to delve deep into some Dwemer ruins.

13.) What does your character's bed look like when he/she wakes up? Are the covers off on one side of the bed, are they all curled around a pillow, sprawled everywhere? In what position might they sleep?

Moderately disheveled. The blanket and the pillow are still on the bed and almost in the same position as when he went to bed. He doesn’t really toss and turn. He sleeps on his side with an arm in front of his chest and the top leg slightly bent. How any troubled, guarded man might sleep.

14.) How does your character react to temperature changes such as extreme heat and cold?

His race originates from the ashlands so I would think he could withstand any harsh climate, considering he was raised in a tundra region since he was a boy. Dunmer have 50% resistance to fire, even though he is a vampire now, extreme heat shouldn’t bother him.

15.) Is your character an early morning bird or a night owl?

A night owl, he usually completes his contracts at night and sleeps during mid day.

16.) Are there any blood relatives that your character is particularly close with, besides parents and siblings? Are there any others that your character practically considers a blood relative?

He has no other blood relatives besides his parents, that he knows of or cares to know about, and they are on bad terms. He considers his adopted siblings and the Dark Brotherhood to be his true family.

17.) What's your character's desk/workspace look like? Are they neat or messy?

He does not have a workspace in that regard. He doesn’t even use the torture chamber. But he keeps his living quarters fairly neat with a few things out of place. He’s not a sloppy person and neither are his kills, except for the blood splatter.

18.) Is your character a good cook? What's their favorite recipe, whether they're good or not?

No, he’s not the best but he manages. Out of the 3 siblings he would be the worst at it. However, the food he prepares doesn’t taste bad. He likes to warm some cheese by the fire just to the melting point and eat it with a bit of bread or corned beef, sort of like a cheese fondue. Now he doesn’t need to eat, but has to feed on occasion.

19.) What's your character's preferred means of travel?

On foot mostly, sometimes riding horseback. It’s too easy to catch an assassin traveling by carriage, they are likely slow.

20.) Does your character have any irrational fears?

To be lost or to lose one’s self. Which may not be so ‘irrational’ at all since fate has decided to make him its play thing.

21.) What would your character's cutest feature be?

Personally, I think he’s cute but others might think he’s ugly. It could be because I’m his ‘mother’/creator. It’s not a physical feature but I think the cutest thing about him is that he has a soft spot for family and friends.

23.) Is your character superstitious?

No, not at all. He believes in supernatural things but that doesn’t make him paranoid or avoid anything no more than being careful when entering a tomb, which is common sense.

24.) What might your character's ideal romantic partner be?

Really ...I..don’t… know….. and it’s driving me CRAZY!!! Lol. I prefer all of my Ocs to have a pairing and for some reason I just can’t come up with anything for him. I imagine she would be dark, macabre, perhaps outgoing, easy-going, unpredictable, and sure of herself.

25.) Describe your character's hands. Are they small, long, calloused, smooth, stubby?

As a mer, his hands are bigger than a human’s but is average size for an elf. They aren’t rough since he hasn’t really done any hard manual labor, unless using fire magic or light weapons thickens the skin.

26.) Now dislikes!

Khiroth would never eat a goat’s leg or dog meat. He would rather not do public killings. He dislikes running, swimming, crowds, and judgment from others. He doesn’t really like any other alcoholic drink. His least favorite plant is the nirnoot because it’s prickly and the noise it makes bothers his heightened hearing. His least favorite time of day is high noon when the sun is most intense.

27.) Pick two songs that describe your character at two different points of their life, and explain why you chose them.

He has none surprisingly. Most of my main Ocs have them but not him yet, and it’s not as easy as you would think to find one. I will have to update this answer later.

28.) If your character's life was a genre, what would it be?

Maybe a mix between Horror, Action, and Drama.

29.) How does your character smell? Do they wear perfume or cologne?

I imagine he smells.. earthy? Getting dirt on you was very common and I don’t think dry blood has a smell… and he wouldn’t stick around long enough for his victim’s bodies to rot. There might be a slim possibility that he smells like burnt flesh. He does bathe fairly regularly, perhaps not as often as his brother Irolere but still.

30.) Write a letter to your character, from yourself.

My Khiroth,

I apologize for everything I put you through and that I’m going to put you through. I believe that it will only make you a stronger character in the long run and you will be better off for it. To be fair, it wasn’t all my idea, Bethesda is partly to blame. I am very proud of how well you endured and I support the decisions you made. Try not to brood as much and face the world with some certainty. Continue to rebuild the legacy of the Dark Brotherhood, and keep an eye on Cicero so he doesn’t get into too much trouble.

P.S. Please help me out in deciding a pairing for you, I’m at a loss..

Love Always,

Mother
