Saffrâia is my HoK and I love her so much â the end of her rather whirlwind story is taking the mantle of Sheogorath (especially in the wake of Martinâs death) and in sometime through her grief and edging madness, she creates a child that is the amalgamation of all those she loved and lost through her journey. Said child, having parts of Martin in her through Saffâs intense magic as Sheogorath, becomes my Dragonborn Tiijahk :â)
Saff and some of the friends sheâs made along her self discovery journey đ„ș
Some added info on them and their vibes:
- thereâs a battlemage at the entrance of the arcane university that greets you everytime you enter in the sweetest way possible so i turned him into a named dude called Roderick whoâs hopelessly in love with one of the other mage scholars and he and Saff like to bemoan their tragic love lives and eat lunch together
- Amusei is one of those reoccurring npcs from the thieves guild who starts off as a lil shit lone wolf who you rescue a couple times and inspire him to become an actual member of the thieves guild ;; his lil arc is very sweet tbh
- Sir Mazoga The Orc is the most surprisingly sweet orc npc you can meet and befriend and I love her. You help her avenge her late best friend and become knight besties after the fact
More Saff đ„° 2 different versions cause I liked them both
Some notes:
- The shrouded armor is what she wears the most often now though when she got out of prison (at the start of the game, but not the start of her story) she went to the arena to pick herself back up and she was Not a Fan of the armor they made them wear. She also ended up taking the moniker âShadowstepâ onto herself after she gained champion hood.
- Saffrâia has only sobbed her heart out a few times in her life and being made to kill her found family in the dark brotherhood was certainly one of them. She had grown to really love them and found a kinship and appreciation that she felt she lost near the tail end of her time at the Arcane University
- No shame I pair her with Martin but it is a doomed love that falls apart so soon after rekindling because the universe is unkind sometimes đ after so long apart and having had such different and eventful lives, they finally have a sit down to open up to one another.
Going through some intense burnout and this is the most Iâve been able to do in like 2 weeks,,,, anyway oblivion pokemon au because Iâm weak and am allowed to self indulge
Saff would have a rowlett for sure (the staple of any stealth archer build). I did like itâs grass/ghost typing it eventually gets and felt that fit the latter half of her story pretty nicely
Martin gets natu as a partner pokemon for it being the foresight pokemon hehe I think eventually heâd have a dreepyâ unless yâall thjnk thatâs a bit too on the nose? đ
Saff would also have a cereuledge and a meowsticâ i wanna give her 1 more to round out her mad god era but Iâm not sure what pkm vibes the most đ€
Taking a pause from my mouse posting to drop some concept sketches for my high fantasy take on my clangen cats đ
Introducing Juniperwhisper! A childhood friend of Redsmoke. He's rather soft spoken and good natured and often finds Redsmoke's rare prickly nature rather amusing.
SO inspired by the idea that Redsmoke was actually an ancient starclan cat reborn-- I ran with it. Putting it under a readmore cause it's _a lot_. Can you tell I've been playing a ton of dnd lately lmao??
In this wc world, there was a mythos about cats back at the dawn of the clans that were blessed by these great mythical beasts. The Unicorn, the Chimera and the elusive and unknown Phoenix.
Cats blessed with by the horn were made to be great healers, using some inate magic within the horn to convert their own life and spirit into intense healing. Tragically, that life transference lowered the life expectantly of those blessed by the horn.
Cats blessed by the claw were born with intense strength and battle prowess and were often given the role of guards and warriors. They were the ones tasked with defending the clan against threats of harrowing size (like wolves and mountain lions and other large, dangerous creatures.)
Cats...er... the cat blessed by the flame, sports a wing like pattern on his shoulders and has the ability of the Phoenix to be reborn again. In actuality-- he has an ability similar to the protag of Erased LMAO. Bit of a groundhog day situation where he has to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it before the day/moment repeats itself. No one other than him really understands the power of the Phoenix and don't really piece together the work he's done for his clan.
Fast forward to modern day. The clans are returning to their territories after the Ashen Plague hit and made the entire area unlivable. Feeling daring and adventurous, a young warrior begins to explore the barren ashen wasteland that was the Great Tree and stumbles upon what she thought was a dead petrified cat-- but was actually a living warrior! Redsmoke! How curious...
