wheeee oc time. yes i draw my tes characters in casual tanktops. Who Caare. anyway

my oc, tūī! ia is a maormer (or māormer as i prefer to spell it. my race reclamation as a māori lol) hailing from pyandonea originally before stowing away and exploring tamriel as a whole.

just quickly but in my storyline, i heavily rewrite pyandonea to be more like real-world polynesia. the lore surrounding pyandonea and māormer is highly racist and based off of stereotypes against māori people. i have an older post on this linked here.

i reclaim this aspect of tes and rewrite māormer to be much more remniscient of real-world māori and other polynesians :) i also change their paler skintone to be shades of darker blues and greens as i'm really not a fan of the whole "grey/pale white skin" thing for a number of reasons i won't get into here as they fall more into māori and indigenous politics, lol.

i see pyandonea as a broken up continent of islands, each corresponding roughly to real-world polynesian islands and peoples. māormer (or maormer, by more racist scholars) is the name for the entire group of pyandoneans, but this is a name imposed on them as a whole in tamriel's weird ass quest to categorise every race; each major cultural group of pyandoneans identify as their own racial groups. (think the forsworn considering themselves their own race despite colonial tamrielic forces seeing them as bretons)

anyway, onto the lore:

ia gets bitten by a vampire in valenwood while crossing through (hence the marks on tana chest/neck - this lines up with the irl tūī bird's white tufts on their chests, marking them as cowards in a certain traditional māori story that i choose to incorporate into tana lore. which ia is just like Lmfao That's Probably An Omen Lol Uh Oh Hope I'm Not A Coward. it's not but it fucks with tana head a bit), heads to cyrodill, and gets kidnapped and tortured by bandits.

ia eventually escapes after some heavy trauma and tries to leave into skyrim, gets caught crossing the border (and plays out the start-of-skyrim cutscene lol), finds out ia is dragonborn, the main plot of skyrim happens, ia gets mauled by a werewolf during this and finds out that tana dragonborn blood (that's tana best theory, anyway) allows ia to become both a vampire and a werewolf Because Life Isn't Hard Enough Already, and eventually goes absolutely fucking batshit from the heavy pressure of both being extraordinarily traumatised with no outlet as well as The Saviour Of Humanity And The World.

ia ends up meeting an eventual lover on the way named wamasu. they're a naga saxhleel and they get along as they're both not from skyrim and come from heavily misunderstood racial groups. they have a pretty fucking solid love hate relationship, both are incredibly toxic to each other (there's no abuse, it's pretty mutual lmfao. ia calls them some incredibly demeaning shit to piss them off and resorts to threats instead of any form of healthy disagreement. and gets a hand to the face for it and a sore ego) and they occasionally split from each other for awhile but end up finding each other and sticking together.

ia plays out the main skyrim plot and kills alduin, before pissing off Literally Every Aedra by stealing a bone from the whale bridge in sovngarde right after alduin is killed so as to carve it into a patu parāoa (a māori weapon made from whalebone that carries a lot of prestige). ia also makes deals with multiple daedra. becomes a cannibal under namira.

(Yes i am aware of the implications of making a māori character a cannibal but hear me out: i am māori and i think it's kinda funny for ia to be like "idk it's my culture lol, i'm just practicing culture 😏 problem solved" while literally Actively not from any of the iwi/tribes that practice cannibalism, while also practicing under a tamrielic god and not any form of pyandonean practice anyway. ia is a bad person, i can't overstate this, ia is Coping Badly with this reasoning and pissing off ana pyandonean gods as well as the tamrielic gods ia refuses to follow)

ia also has very uncontrolled lycanthropy and kills a LOT of people. this weighs on ia and waking up to find dozens of people dead around ia one too many times leads to some major fucking trauma that gets "processed" by just kind of becoming a horrible cunt.

post-alduin tūī and wamasu both explore dungeons, wamasu "secretly" (tūī knows) trying to work towards godhood and "secretly" (tūī also knows and plays dumb to receive information from wamasu) is using tūī for this purpose. it's why they even got to know ia in the first place, they heard news of a dragonborn and thought "alright i gotta take advantage of this" and headed from the outskirts of black marsh to skyrim. they are perfect for each other <3

anyway. ia gets killed by wamasu in a fit of paranoia about attaining said godhood (tūī wanting literally no aspect of godhood, btw.) and then wama manages to zero sum fairly soon after, leaving tūī alone entirely. due to ana actions (flirting with daedra and stealing the whalebone + generally being incredibly disrespectful to the gods in ana later years), none of the gods want ia, even akatosh doesn't want that part of his soul back, and the political mess of "who gets to claim ia" from the daedra on top of that means the daedra And the aedra just decide to kinda... drop ia. ia stays as a ghost in the cave ia died in for the rest of eternity, having nobody but the occasional adventurer to talk to and tana corpse (and even that turns to dust eventually). ia remains there until the next cycle.

weapon progress. tūī starts with a wooden patu, snaps it, probably gets a patu onewa at some point, and ends with a patu parāoa
