I'm back with the updated 2024 end of the year OC List Bay-bee ✨

Salutations my name is Chris (he/she/they - 27) and The Elder Scrolls has been my longest running hyperfixation since 2009. My main is arimabari, and I run the TES fashion focused blog Tamrielfashion.

Tatia "Tia" Stormcrown - The Last Dragonborn - Demigod (appears Nord/Dunmer) - She/They - Tatia was a strange child orphaned by the Great War and raised by a devout monk in Weynon Priory until his eventual passing. She is a devout priestess of Kynareth, a well-worn traveler, and someone who finds her solace in nature rather than with people.

Kyne / Kynareth Aedra - My personal interpretation of Kyne. When her Nordic aspect became another casualty in the Great War, she returned to her child in the shape of a hawk wearing a clay face. She is the whispering wind that keeps Tatia on her destined path.

Maybeth Sybella Oregota (of House Taurus) - Hero of Kvatch - Nibenese Imperial - She/Her - A blue-blooded princess born at the tail end of Jagar Tharn's reign. She murders her husband and heir to the Imperial Throne, Prince Geldall, while under the influence of Mythic Dawn cultists.

Benitah "Bennie" - Nerevarine - Dunmer - She/Him - The child of an ex-Ashkhan who sent her newborn down the river, hoping to grant her a better life. Bennie was raised by an Argonian smuggler and his Orc bodyguard in Cyrodiil's criminal underbelly and would later become a fence for the Thieves Guild.

Minia Al-Tukta Ma'bro - Hero of Daggerfall - Redguard - She/Her - Daughter of the Tukta Ma'bro, an old Yokudan traveling circus. She was once revered as a talented bard. The Emperor's Songbird - but under Mephala's influence, she rose to Grandmaster of the Blades. She is Calaxes and Martin's birth mother.

Florence Meliard - The Mythic High Priestess - Breton - She/Her - A Priestess of the One who becomes trapped in the Battlespire during my AU version of story events. After she is twisted by the nightmare of her captivity, Florence becomes a devout religious leader under the Mythic Dawn.

Bejira-Ma "Bee" - The Eternal Champion - Ohmes-raht Khajiit - He/Him - Bee was separated from his family during a conflict at the Valenwood/Elsweyr border, and was later raised by the Imperial general who found him. He worked as a serving girl but trained with his father's men on the side - until one day, he finds himself escaping the Imperial Palace with three little princes in tow.

Audeius Tharn - The Listener (3rd Era) - Nibenese Imperial - He/Him - Maybeth's (unknowing) half-brother. A bastard Tharn drawn to the Night Mother's arms after a count's betrayal left him homeless on the streets of Bravil. He murders succinctly and with little remorse for his actions.

Caelamin Osella - Dawnbreaker's Sheath - Ayleid/Altmer - She/Her - A renowned Summerset Courtesan and Keeper of Dawnbreaker. She is currently in service to Giranderiel, an Altmeri crime lord and skooma smuggler.

Lelleone "Lell" - The Vestige - Altmer Soul Shriven - They/Them - Giranderiel's loyal mutt who was given up to Molag Bal after they got just a little too cozy with Osella. Only knows how to take orders like a dog. Queen Ayrenn's little puppy.

2, 4, 9, and 12 from getting to know oc asks for Ashann?

2. Is your OC a loner or a social butterfly? Are they satisfied with how they come across to other people?

it's complicated, unsurprisingly. Ashann is somewhere in the middle on this spectrum, enjoying a bit of quiet time alone and also appreciating some time with her friends. She does tend to isolate herself when she's struggling, though she does wind up with a few people who can prod through that as time goes on.

Most of her frustrations about how she can come across to other people are more about the limits the Empire (and to a lesser extent the Republic) views her under for being both Chiss and not Force Sensitive. She's very aware of the difference between how Sith joining the Republic tend to be welcomed and the reception she got from Ardun Kothe, for one.

4. Does your OC have a failed friendship or relationship they still think about? What happened? Is it an unresolved regret or is there a chance for reconciliation?

Jaesa Wilsaam was Tarron's (@methysis-art L-side Sith Warrior) apprentice, and she didn't really trust Ashann at all. The Cipher who specialized in killing Force users hit on all of Jaesa's concerns about just what she was doing with staying with the Sith, and while it was generally civil during Tarron's five years frozen one of Ashann's main goals was trying to keep his people safe.

Jaesa didn't listen to her or Lana about not pursuing rumors of lightside Sith, and Ashann considers that a personal failing.

It's not something that has been resolved currently, but there is certainly the possibility of finding Jaesa in the future.

9. Is your OC laid back or do they thrive on drama? What role do they play in their group of friends/associates?

Laid back, overall. She's generally a lot more open with the Agent crew, and later Theron and Lana. Supportive, a little teasing, willing to admit a percentage of what she wants, a bit more willing to let people (particularly Lokin) catch her before she burns herself too far.

She was a lot quieter around Wrath's crew. Very Imperial Intelligence here to serve the Sith vibes. Quinn wasn't fond of her on account of the whole alien + Imperial Intelligence thing overall, and made a point of calling her 'Lieutenant' at later points. Also the whole aforementioned thing with Jaesa.

12. Is your OC cynical or optimistic? Who or what shaped their outlook on life?

Cynical. She wound up in the Empire initially as a sort of Exile, was picked up by a Sith and taught to kill Sith for the sake of eliminating rivals, and then Ashann was sent to Intelligence when she proved good enough at the whole killing Sith thing to get people to look into it.

And then of course the Agent story. If she ever considered optimism during that it was quite pointedly driven out of her by the mind control aspect. If the SIS hadn't done that, it's quite possible that she actually would have defected instead.

OC guide post, art by @methysis-art

Ashann (SWTOR, pictured top left), aka Cipher Nine, officially Chiss (actually Chiss and Zeltron), eternally stressed, living up to the seduction part of her job. Has a bunch of fics on AO3.

Ashana (Morrowind - Skyrim, pictured top right): Ashlander, devotee of Mephala, fomer member of the Dark Brotherhood (presumed dead), would very much like to stop being a vampire.

Alonisea (some point post-Skyrim): House Redoran scion, Ashana's daughter, has a complex about both her parents and the good daedra.

ESO characters (in development): Estilien + others

I write lots of things. Most of it is posted on my AO3 and then linked here when I remember.

[kartaylirsden]

Doing a few questions for this lovely questionnaire for Ashana. I hope to get to rest the rest of them eventually, given how long these took.

Thank you for putting it together, @skyrim-forever !

What does your oc look like? Have they had other designs? How has their look changed? Dunmer, a little on the skinny side in a way that makes people think she might be from Windhelm these days. She's more gaunt than she used to be, given the vampirism. But most of her appearance changes are things she got later in life, rather than retroactive altering her whole design. A few tattoos and such got added to her for the Skyrim era, the most recent (aka about seven years ago) being a back tattoo design based off the Mephala shrines in Dragonborn.

For examples, this art (nudity), is her Morrowind era appearance, while this piece is of her around Skyrim era.

What has been the most significant event in your oc’s life? How has this affected them? The aforementioned vampirism, which she caught in Cyrodiil while tracking down a magical relic of some sort for her House Telvanni employer. She effectively exiled herself from Morrowind at that point and went hunting a cure, eventually wound up in the Dark Brotherhood, and missed the Red Year which she has a lot of complicated feelings about.

Who does your oc care about? Is it reciprocal? Mephala, mostly, which isn't exactly reciprocal save for considerations of Ashana being a useful tool, which she is. She was never too close to anyone in the Dark Brotherhood either. She does eventually start to open to @methysis-art 's Azura follower, who actually cares back.
