this is Okkori, he's a kothringi hunter turned solider turned pirate turned a whole fuck ton of things in his immortal life.
ramblings and extra art below;
SO this shiny motherfucker's been kicking it since eso up until well after skyrim.
he, like a couple other kothringi, turned to serving the ideal masters to escape a mix of disease and war that for the most part decimated his people
SO, though he usually covers it up, he has this;
(shorter hair to show it better)
stuck in his chest, which is a chunk of the physical form an ideal master takes. He cannot remove it so long as he's stuck in his pact.
I'm still working out specifically how his pact works, but thus far he is;
immortal/ageless
possesses powerful soul-centred magic
so after eso he ends up helping out with the oblivion crisis and meets my hok, zirya, and also ends up fighting in the great war, during which he meets, befriends, works with, and falls in love with an imperial woman and officer, Avina (the ring on his neck belonged to her.)
She was sadly killed during the Battle of The Red Ring, and Okkori was never quite the same after that, as she was the only person he'd ever trusted enough to even remotely open up to about his past.
so years later he ends up a pirate on the whispered wave, still being a jovial and funny guy definitely not a mask to hide his trauma where he has a great old time and definitely doesn't end up working with Avina's niece and has no idea she's her niece
he's a fun guy and I love him
ramble over lol anyways alt hairstyles;
might update his art with extra details and ramble some more later on <3
