Skyrim Moodboard for my LDB and Kaidan because I can’t draw <3

The LBD - Dracul Volkhair
——————————————————
Ok so Akatosh messes up and accidentally sends the Dragon Soul into Molag Bal’s latest project, Dracul. Dracul is made from the Daedric Prince’s blood, bone, and flesh. Basically a whim of Molag Bal trying to get an avatar on Mundus. It doesn’t work. INSTEAD it makes a very unhinged child.
Molag has no idea what to do with it and sends him off to Harkon. Harkon ALSO has no idea what to do with him so just kinda uncles him? Maybe he tries to get Dracul to bite him considering his Vampire Lord is much purer than Harkons but he doesn’t want to chance something going wrong. Anyways, eventually Dracul grows up and looks maybe 30 around the start of Skyrim, though he’s much, much older.
It’s commented on that Dracul looks like a Dunmer, but only really in the way a snake looks like a crocodile. He’s not actually a Dunmer so uncanny valley goes hard. People just kinda assume he’s the son of an Imperial and a Dunmer.
Soon the start of Skyrim hits off, now, because Dracul’s timeline matches my gameplay, he just straight up ignores the greybeards and walks towards Riften, thus he notices a ruined Thalmor prison and immediately checks it out, Dracul, meet Kaidan.

The Amnesiac - Kaidan
——————————————————
Kaidan wakes up from the daily hunger pass out, only to see a manic face covered in fresh gore inches from his. Understandably, he freaks out. Later after getting himself together, he acquaints himself with the ‘trespasser’. After learning that he technically freed him and saved his stuff, he asks to accompany Dracul to repay his life debt despite his misgivings. Dracul, absolutely giddy at such a strange reaction to his presence (wants to be around him???) agrees.
Kaidan vaguely feels like he made a mistake, but takes most of Dracul’s shenanigans in stride, after all, taking down a dragon together after a night at the inn fosters trust like nothing else. However, Kaidan has a sneaking suspicion that Dracul is a Vampire.
However he is not making any judgements yet, considering his personality, its is likely he got attacked and simply forgot to take a cure disease potion, as there have been no deaths from exsanguination around them so far, he hasn’t killed anyone to feed on. He’s sure it’s nothing to be alarmed about.
He wasn’t expecting him to be a noble though, usually nobles try to marry their own race to avoid stigmas? how strange.
