ayo can i get uhhhhhhh all the general info & background 6, 7, & 8 for mort please 👉👈😳
(also hi i glued my fingers together help)
-gently pries your fingers apart and holds your hands in platonic adoration- thank you my friend i will absolutely answer these for you 🥰
Skyrim 🙌 not that this is part of the ask, but i first played skyrim many many many years ago, probably very soon after it came out, and mort was a very different guy back then! he was a lot more grunge and sort of grumpier. i gave him a redesign several years ago, and then when i met @renmorris , we solidified a lot more details about him and his personality 🥰
3. Age at the beginning of game/relevant time period
about 28—he’s young but not crazy young for an adult adventurer
Nord! he doesnt get along with most other nords he meets, but he still loves his people and loves his homeland very much
6. Sexual orientation/preferences
gay/preference for men and nonbinary people
he’s like a mageknight almost; he wields a sword in one hand and magic in the other typically. sometimes he does greatsword but very rarely
6. What are their interpersonal relationships like? Are they close with many people?
he’s besties with Lydia, his housecarl-turned-bff, serana, his grumpy ally in the face of a shared enemy turned other bff, and erik the slayer, who would later become his husband. he’s also close to arngeir and the greybeards and considers them family. oh and he’s close with sheogorath too ofc 😌 and with sheogorath comes some of our other OCs that live in the isles or come to live in the isles later—including Cillian, Ra, and Khara, all TES “core game” characters that Ren and i have made 💖 (i put that in quotes because Blades is barely even a game, let alone a core game)
7. What's their relationship with their family like? Do they have one?
he doesnt have one in the beginning :( he doesnt remember them at least, and he never finds them. instead he makes his own family among his friends and loved ones and the greybeards; arngeir becomes like a father to him, and he loves him very much
8. What guilds do they join? Are they committed to those guilds, or are they mostly in them for the benefits?
the thieves guild and the college of winterhold i think are the only ones he really spends most of his time with, and he sees both through to the point where he becomes the leader of both. dawnguard sort of counts… it’s less of a guild though, but he does spend a lot of time helping them. he does join the companions, but he doesn’t uh go all the way with them, so to speak LOL
i will also mention that he was invited to join the dark brotherhood but refused them outright. Ren and i have been playing with the idea that he reacts so negatively to being kidnapped by astrid that he straight up kills her for it 😔 maybe even goes to wipe out the rest of the crew too because he doesn’t like being put in that position at all!
THANK YOU FOR ASKING, this was so fun!! 💖💖
