relationships for mz are... an awkward thing. they’ve been raised to view any sort of emotional attachment as a glaring weakness. any attachment and they would die-- such was the way of life in the freljord, in a place as unforgiving and deadly... love is a commodity they could not afford.

  though at one point came avarosa. and she taught them of that love, the love of companionship and trust and forgiveness. and though they were cruel, cold and heartless, they learned of compassion and mercy. they were no weakness; instead, they drew strength from the desire to protect others 

it is a lesson that mz cherishes, even now. though they appear merciless, they seek to temper their blade with compassion. to hold out a hand instead of shedding blood, and to treat their enemies with the mercy that the world has not shown them. 

they struggle to be amiable and empathetic, even if it is quite difficult for them to do. to truly understand others is a challenge, more than any battle they have endured. the feeling of love is honestly one they dream of. though they dare not admit, they dream of simple fairytale stories. things deemed as foolish by many, the idea of true love-- meeting a prince or princess to fall in love with. it’s an embarrassing confession, but they wish for something like that.

Mzar had such a difficult time adjusting to the pacifist ways of the Avarosan tribe. Though they tire of needless bloodshed and violence, there is still an animalistic and primal sense of hostility to their every interaction. Mzar is distrusting, though they swear absolute loyalty to Ashe, they have very little trust towards anyone else. 

It is a hurdle that they, with time, began to overcome. With the more time they spend around people, the more they begin to understand others.

Are they a good cook at all? Do they have any special dishes they like to prepare?

In all honesty, Mzar has picked up on the dining customs of the Avarosan tribe. They have learned how to rely on working the ground instead of pillaging or razing their fellow people. 

They often dabble in baking warm bread, pastries, sweets. Whereas Mzar has been used to hunting and gutting animals, they now find enjoyment in creating things that others may like.

//Does Mzar speak freljordian? If so what 'Dialect' does he speak?

Oh, definitely. The Freljord is their home. Mzar knows quite a few dialects, from the tribal speech of the mountainous region, to the merging of common spoken in the more “modern” tribes.  

Mzar’s accent coincides more with Russian than German in my mind, it sounds quite distinct, if not ancient.

[🌟, 👑, ⚠ :3]

👑:Is your muse honorable?

Oh dear lord yes. While good does not always mesh with lawful, Mzarkmiir is an honorable mer. He holds himself to an insane code of morality that he never strays from. He attempts to resolve problems without bloodshed, he seeks solutions that lead to the betterment of society. 

However, he is not a fool. He knows that there must be bloodshed, even if he personally does not like it.

The other two are answered here!

⚠, ⚖ c:

⚠:Would they seek revenge against someone who's harmed them or the people they care about?

The path of revenge inevitably leads to self destruction. Revenge, on paper, sounds marvelous to someone who feels they have been wronged. But truthfully, it ends up destroying them from the inside out. Their revenge might not even be successful, and to Mzarkmiir, a gamble like that isn’t really worth it. That being the case, he will not chastise those who seek revenge. That is none of his concern.

⚖:Has your muse broken the law before? Broken a vow or promise?

As a soldier, he broke his vows. He took it quite a step further by actively committing treason. He was branded a traitor and imprisoned for his crimes, only to betray the Dwemer again-- only this time he slew king Mzark of Fal Zhardum Din (Or blackreach). While he seeks to do good, good does not always mesh with lawful.

⛨: What would they sacrifice their life for? 💋: How easily are they tempted?

Mzarkmiir only serves one master, and that is the land. He holds no affiliations, no true ones really. And if he were to sacrifice his life, it would be to better Tamriel in some way. At least in his mind. His actions are deliberate, careful and calculated. If he is to die, he would have seen it coming. Mzarkmiir, in a way, gambles with his life. Tying himself in events that shape Tamriel in one way or another, and he is well aware that one day, his luck might run out. 

Mzarkmiir’s convictions are incredibly strong, the land is what he lives for, essentially. He has lived a long life to seek his desires, but he has seen the path of indulgence. He has seen men be succumbed by the desire for knowledge, he has seen men die to their passions time and time again. Mzarkmiir, by nature, is a very... tame man-- With very few passions and very few desires. He is extremely difficult to tempt.

🌟:Do they consider themselves a good person?

Honestly? Mzarkmiir doesn’t really consider himself to be a good person. He is a person who tries to do the right thing. And he finds that there is a vast difference between the two. 

He doesn’t attempt to justify his actions, he knows he has made plenty of mistakes. Plenty of things he can never take back, but seeks to do what he can to make Nirn a better place.
