[the-drunken-huntsman]

Hiii arr u willing to answer all the TES months asks for Aneis and Murza and Dire please please please :} I know that's a Lot so if u want to skip over some that is totally understandable hehe

Morning Star - What was the first thing you gave your OC? Name, backstory, design, etc

Aneis: I guess technically the first thing I gave her was her name, even though I've since changed the spelling. I had liked the name Anais before picking up Skyrim (even though I was pronouncing it wrong lol) and had used it for my PC in Pokémon Sword and one of my SDV saves so I just used it again when I started Skyrim. Also side note, I've never watched The Amazing World of Gumball before today while babysitting and I had no clue that was the little sister's name.

Murza: The first thing I came up with for her was just a vague concept. I wanted to play around with mismatched race/class, so of course the first thing I wanted was an orc mage. The second thing I decided for her was that she was gonna be trans because hell yeah.

Dire: The first thing I came up with for him was also a vague concept. I had wanted to make a chaotic evil demigod type character and even though he's changed a lot since initial concept I figured the best way to achieve that would be to make him a demiprince. I wanted him to be kind of conniving and sly and settled on making him the son of Clavicus to get there. Originally he was going to be another one of Aneis' companions who was tagging along just for the vain glory of being a part of the dragonborn's adventures but you know how OCs sometimes seem to have a mind of their own and he eventually got to where he is now :)

Sun's Dawn - Does your OC have a love interest? What is their relationship like?

Aneis: Aneis was always a pretty promiscuous person. She knew she'd have to make Teldryn another one of her conquests from the first moment she saw him without the helmet. They hooked up a few times while traveling on Solstheim, but while going through Nchardak trying to get to the Black Book, he used his whole body to shield her from an automaton that had caught her off guard and that was it, she was done. That night in Severin Manor she sits him down and is like. Look, don't be alarmed and please don't leave because I still need you to guide me around this gods forsaken island. But I think I'm in love with you. To which Teldryn is like

Murza: You know the "me doing whatever my hot witch wife wants" meme? That's Murza and Endurys. However before they were married they were the epitome of idiots in love. Just stupid long stares and longing sighs in camp at night until one day Aneis snaps and shoves them in an inn room together and yells at them to not come out until they've fucked all the yearning out.

Dire: Dire is aroace do no romantic interests for him! But his absolute favorite people in the world are his little cousins and his little brother

First Seed - Does your OC have any enemies or rivals? How did these rivalries start?

Aneis: I know there's lots of people who read into the LDB's relationship to Miraak and how tragic his story is and blah blah blah, he makes my blood boil so Aneis feels the exact same way. As opposed to any other big bad she faces, (Harkon is Serana's White Whale before anyone else, Ulfric had to go for the well-being of the people in her opinion, and defeating Alduin was more for the people she loved and needed to protect than anything else) Miraak makes it personal for her, acting like some sort of sibling rival to her when Akatosh is nothing more to her than a perverted puppet master playing with her fate. She actually loathes any of the Dovah who call her sister without having earned that respect from her first (like Paarthurnax and Odahviing have). As far as she's concerned she only has one father and he never used her to clean up his messes, he gave his life trying to protect his homeland from the Dominion.

Murza: I've been wanting to play around with the concept of Savos Aren being the big bad of the College Quest line as opposed to Ancano. Like Ancano is still evil and shit, but like, Aren was actually in league with him the whole time. He needed the Thalmor's resources to get him to the Eye and the Staff and the second he has what he needs he betrays their shaky alliance. Anyway yeah I think Murza would kinda always be wary of Savos and it would also legitimize her succeeding him as opposed to any other member of the staff if she's the one who was able to fell him.

Dire: I wouldn't say Dire had any real enemies or rivals. I'm kinda keeping his story once he goes adventuring on his own open because of TES:VI supposedly being eminent and I might want to use him in that game. So as of right now, in the Skyrim timeline, he's just a lil guy? Who could hate that?

Rain's Hand - Can your OC use magic? If so what Schools?

Aneis: Aneis knows three spells: close wounds, clairvoyance, and muffle. All taught to her by her father as they're the most useful out in the wild while tracking prey. She can also do a bit of fire magic, but nothing more than just enough to light a campfire. She might later learn heal undead for the sake of Serana though.

Murza: I'm not sure what to say for her. She's the arch mage of course she uses magic. I guess she is particularly adept at conjuration, being a follower of Malacath and having a half daedric son

Dire: Dire would mostly be adept with alteration and illusion, but also conjuration because duh. I could see him as a very small child, using alteration to make his toys move without touching them, a slightly older child summoning small beasts from oblivion to play with (maybe even Uncle Barbas), and when his cousins are babies, using illusion to calm them down and keep them entertained.

Second Seed - Is your OC an alchemist? What do they excel at making?

Aneis: Araneth, Aneis' mother, was an apothecary. In the same way her father passed his hunting prowess to her, her mother also tried to give her as much of her knowledge as she could as well. She didn't much get it or appreciate it while her mother was alive, but later in life she put the effort into actually trying to understand her mother's teachings. She eventually becomes about as skilled as your average professional alchemist.

Murza: Gonna preface this with the fact that I still consider alchemy a school of magic even though it counts as a thief's skill in Skyrim. Anyway I think it would be the one school to slip her grasp. It's just too... material. Breaking an enemy's mind with a flick of her wrist? Summoning a sword from Oblivion that weighs nothing in hand but can slice through trees? Those are the kinds of esoteric things that Murza understands. Plants that need to be boiled at a certain temperature and creatures' innards that need to be removed in an exact precise manner? May as well be Dwemeris to her.

Dire: Dire is like his mother in that alchemy is just too far over his head. But he isn't as frustrated about his lack of comprehension as she is. Why would he need to worry about mixing potions when he can just find them well and good for the taking in every dungeon in Tamriel?

Mid Year - Does your OC have a favourite celebration? Do they celebrate holidays?

Aneis: Hircine's summoning day is a very special time for her. She always spends days hunting before hand, trying to gather as much a variety of pelts and trophies as she can for her offering. This is even though, as his champion, they are definitely not necessary, the woman fells dragons in his name. However she always prepares as much as she can for him, and once summoned she always has the same simple request for him. To deliver a message to her family in the Hunting Grounds, that she loves them, and misses them, and hopes she is making them proud.

Murza: Murza always tries to make it a point to be home at Lakeview Manor for the Witches Fest. She loves seeing the children dressed up and doing little tricks to entertain them. (This goes along with the headcanon that Lakeview Manor would eventually have a little village crop up around it)

Dire: He would very much enjoy the Jester's Festival, but his absolute favorite is Clavicus' summoning day. I've joked before that it's the only time he gets to play catch with his dad, but since he is also a small aspect of Vile in and of himself, I think the whole day he'd just feel a little closer to Oblivion and it makes him feel whole.

Sun's Height - What is your OC's favourite shop, in any of the games; what do they buy the most of?

Aneis: Aneis adores The Drunken Huntsman. Anoriath is a very talented fletcher and Elrindir is always game to swap hunting stories. They make the whole establishment feel like what she's been missing from Valenwood all these years away, even as a wooded building. They're probably the only people in Tamriel she trusts to service her family bow.

Murza: Murza actually likes hanging around Tel Mithryn. Neloth always has interesting, useful things to sell to her and she suspects he likes her company as she's much quicker to catch onto his teachings than his actual apprentice (sorry, Talvas).

Dire: Even though Enthir's displeasure at having a child on college grounds was always well known to Dire, he still likes bugging him to show him all the weird, cool things he has for sale, which he has no intention of buying. Just looking and maybe a little swiping to play with later.

Last Seed - What weapon does your OC use? Who taught them how to use it?

Aneis: Aneis' main weapons are her family's heirloom bow and the battleaxe gifted to her by Balgruuf. Her father taught her how to shoot and she's self taught with the axe. She'd honestly never touched a two handed weapon in her life before but she thought the nords might think it a great insult for her to not use a weapon gifted to her by the Jarl, so she just swung it around until she found what felt good and did the most damage.

Murza: Murza got her base knowledge of magic from Atub, but growing up in the stronghold she was also expected to learn to swing a sword. Though the swords she uses now are less... mundane. She uses summoned weapons. Idk if that got across lol.

Dire: Dire has had a natural affinity for magic since birth but he hones his craft under the tutelage of his mother and the other professors of Winterhold.

Hearthfire - Does your OC have a family (blood or found)? Who are they closest to?

I can answer this generally for all three characters. The whole of the found family (the people who live at Lakeview Manor) are Aneis, Murza, Teldryn, Endurys, Dire, Hab, Cinuri, Braiel, and the dogs, Sable and Merc. Aneis and Murza are closest to each other platonically, and though he'd never admit it, Dire is closest to Cinuri, she's his best friend.

Frost Fall - Where is your OC's primary residence? What city is there favourite?

Aneis: Aneis knows most of the Bosmer living in Skyrim find The Rift to be the closest approximate to their homeland, she finds the quite, backwoods nature of Falkreath reminds her much more of the area she grew up in. Of course she loves her quite little life on the homestead, surrounded by all her loved ones.

Murza: Technically, Murza's main residence is the college, but she tends not to spend much time there, mainly because she gets lonely. Endurys hates the cold having grown up in the shit hole of Eastmarch and avoids the college as much as possible and Aneis only goes if she's asked to specifically by Murza. So she ends up spending most of her year in Lakeview.

Dire: His parents have determined its much better for him to grow up in an actual stable home surrounded by actual stable adults, so most of his childhood is spent in Lakeview. However, once in a while, Murza will bring him with her on her trips to the college and he loves it. So many places to explore and get into trouble and so many people to bug until they relent and teach him something new.

Sun's Dusk - Is your OC religious? If so, who do they follow?

Aneis: Aneis' grandmother was a priestess of Hircine, her father a priest, and the rest of her family devotees. Their whole devotion is based on having such hunting prowess on their own, they have no need for the gift of the beast blood. This of course culminated in Aneis literally being born to be the greatest hunter of the greatest prey, the Last Dragonborn.

Murza: Murza has always felt like an outsider, even within her own tribe growing up, so she finds a lot of solace in the tenants of Malacath. She also keeps a quiet reverence for Dibella, as her priestesses were the ones who helped her become her most true self.

Dire: Dire doesn't really necessarily worship Clavicus Vile, he just kinda has this air of thankfulness around the subject of his daedric parent. After all it is through his connection to Oblivion that he is able to help so many people and keep his family together in the afterlife.

Evening Star - When is your OC's birthday?

Aneis: 27th of Hearthfire, 4E 153

Murza: 21st of Sun's Dusk, 4E 165

Dire: 30th of Mid Year, 4E 206

Rikke's mod recommendations

These are all for PC and SSE, but most of them also have a Legendary Edition counterpart. Anniversary players, cope.

At Your Own Pace - Slows down the main quest a bit so you don't feel so rushed to complete it

JS Armored Circlets - Adds armored circlets for if you're like me and hate the look of helmets but still want the extra armor rating

Book Covers Skyrim - Adds unique book covers to literally every book in the game

Floating Health Bars - I hate the way vanilla health bars work (when they decide to) so this helps me tremendously with combat, and even displays enemies level which I'm pretty sure is impossible to see in vanilla

Teldryn Sero Dialogue Expansion - makes my favorite charater even chattier and gives him some synthesized lines as well, including allowing him to read Nerevar at Red Mountain to you and even letting him play the lute if you ask nicely :)

Practical Female Armors - Makes the more abysmal female armors look more like their male counterparts

Impractical Royal Vampire Armor - Adds a titty window to the male vampire royal armor :3

Better Civil War Guards - Makes it so that guards in captured holds retain their unique colors while still being Imperial or Stormcloak soldiers, with seperate files depending on who you side with

Morrowind Armor - Netch Leather - Adds craftable netch leather armor and even puts it on certain Dunmer NPCs including Ralis, Jenassa, and Athis

Freckles and Rough Skin Complexion - makes freckles and rough skin more noticable

Pet The Dog - Lets you pet the dog :) (really only works in 3rd person though)

more under the cut to keep this post from taking up too much of the dash lol

On one hand, I want to believe that characters like Elisif and Ysolda are short queens because they give off that vibe, but on the other hand I know they're both nords and therefore probably fucking tower over my poor wood elf dragonborn like I bet they're both like 5'10"

Hmm alright here's my one shot, based on the Heart Of Dibella quest :)

The Forsworn were taken care of and the girl was safe, though leaving Broken Tower seemed to be taking longer than getting through it, as Fjotra gawked at each body they passed. Anais let out an exasperated sigh as they stopped for the fourth time, and Teldryn sent a look her way she couldn't discern from under the helmet.

She's seeing death for likely the first time, of course she's not okay, she reminded herself. She stepped forward to place a gentle hand on the girls shoulder. Her mind blanked as she tried to offer some generic words of comfort, it had been a long time since she'd helped rear her little siblings and it seemed the skill of calming frightened children had slipped from her.

So lost in her attempts at comfort, Anais was startled when her companion dropped to his knees and held a hand out to the girl. "It's alright little one, we're going to get you somewhere safe." His voice was so calm and easy that despite the emotionlessness of the mask, the girl still accepted his embrace as he hummed a small tune to further ease her nerves. Fjotra's breathing began to even and the glistening in her eyes faded. And they were moving again.

"Since when do you hum?" Anais asked as they made their way onto the road.

"Since we've had a frightened little girl in our charge," he answered plainly.

"Oh. I never knew you were so good with children," she chuckled.

"There's a lot you still don't know about me, Dovahkiin." She could practically hear the smirk in his voice.

It wasn't until they were halfway to Markarth and the sky began to turn orange that the girl would speak up. "Could we stop for just a moment? I'm so thirsty."

The pair looked at each other before Teldryn shrugged. "I can watch the road while you take her to the river."

So Anais led her down the slope on the roadside to the riverbank. When Fjotra knelt down to cup her hands in the water, Anais dropped beside her to splash her face. She realized the flecks of blood that had begun to dry on her cheeks probably did nothing to ease the poor girl's mind.

Fjotra looked up from her drink and over her shoulder. "Does he always have that on?" she inquired, turning back to Anais.

"What?"

"Your friend, does he ever take off his mask?"

"Well he doesn't eat or sleep with it on, if that's what you mean."

"So you've seen his face?" the girl pressed.

"Of course," Anais replied, hesitant of where this was going.

"What does he look like?"

"Um..." How to put this?  "Well he... um... he's quite... handsome, I suppose."

"Really? You think so?" Fjotra looked over her shoulder again, her gaze locking to the back of Teldryn's helmet. Then her eyes changed, like she was looking through him. "He thinks you're beautiful."

"W-what?"

The girl looked back at Anais, "He likes your eyes and your freckles," Her eyes dropped, as if doing inventory of the elf's form, "and your chest."

"Okay! Break time's over!" Anais announced, standing from her squat and startling the girl. "We need to get you to the temple before sundown."

Damn gods, always poking their noses into my business. Dibella's no better than the rest of them it seems, Anais decided.

[the-drunken-huntsman]

*throws this at you and runs away*

**********

Teldryn was unusually slow to wake this morning, and by the time his eyes popped open, the spot next to him in bed was empty and there was already chatter and the smell of breakfast coming from the kitchen. He couldn’t shake the smile on his face as he roused himself and made his way to join the commotion.

He walked in to find his wife standing above the hearth, stirring the porridge, looking beautifully half put together. He walked up behind her to snake his arms around her muscular waist and plant a kiss to her temple.

“Good morning, beautiful,” he said, voice still thick with sleep.

“Mornin’ love,” Anais answered as she turned her head to kiss him properly. A symphony of giggles erupted at the right hand kitchen table. Teldryn stepped away from his wife and over to his children patiently waiting for their breakfast.

“Good morning, beautiful number two.” He bent to plant a kiss on Cinuri’s temple.

“G’morning, Papa.”

“Good morning, beautiful number three.” He moved to his son to give the same affections he’d shown his wife and daughter. Braiel only giggled in response.

An exasperated huff drew his eyes to the other end of the table. “Am I simply chopped liver to you, Uncle?” the oldest child (though, he was becoming less and less of one each day) quipped.

Teldryn sighed and made his way around to Dire, kissing his forehead and just nearly avoiding the sharp horns that poked out from his crown. “Good morning, pain in my ass.”

“Teldryn!” the boy’s mother and father barked from the left hand table across the kitchen as the children and the bosmer at the stew pot giggled. His smirk plastered to his face as he strode over to Murza and Endurys, stopping between them and leaning forward on the table on his hands.

“Good morning, pain in my ass number two. Pain in my ass number three.” He leaned to kiss the sides of their heads with each respective nickname.

He cracked his back as he stood up straight and looked out at the giggling faces of his loved ones. “Now, is everyone satisfied, or do I have to go kiss the steward, too?”

[the-drunken-huntsman]

Friends to lovers this, enemies to lovers that, what about mercenary + employer to lovers, huh? You ever think about that?

[the-drunken-huntsman]

Hhhhh I couldn't get a fucking screenshot but Teldryn just said his "I'm glad I'm finally traveling with some who seems competent" line to the dog like yeah you're probably right she is probably more competent than me and Serana

[the-drunken-huntsman]

Here's the heights for my OCs and my height headcanon for Teldryn

Anais is 5'1"

Teldryn is 6'0"

Endurys is 5'10"

Murza is 6'5"

This is the website I used!

[the-drunken-huntsman]

I had a dream last night about nerevarine!Teldryn au where at some point Hermaeus Mora decided Anais had had enough freedom after killing Miraak and decided to yoink her back into Apocrypha and Teldryn had to go get her back Orpheus style and it would have been angsty and sad but he said this one thing from that fucking Moon Knight meme and it made me laugh so hard I woke up and I had to make the meme I can't fucking do this hdkdjdk

[the-drunken-huntsman]

When Anais and Teldryn married it wasn't a very planned out affair. They made plans with the temple to have the ceremony just a few days after they had become engaged. Supplies were hard to come by in Raven Rock so everything they needed was cobbled together from what they could find, rings included. They purchased a mismatched pair Fethis happened to come by just a day before the ceremony, and while this was just fine with them, Teldryn would often lament in how he wished they'd had found a matching set in time.

By the time their fifth anniversary came around, Anais had become skilled with the forge and was able to make the matching set he had always wanted. She forged them in ebony, to represent the town they'd met and fallen in love in, hers with a ruby setting and his with white diamond, to match each other's eyes. She decorated her band with a mix of flora from Morrowind and Valenwood, and his with dragon scales and the ridges of ash hopper chitin.

[the-drunken-huntsman]

Honestly that one screenshot of Anais and Teldryn looks like one of those memes about dating short girls

[the-drunken-huntsman]

Modern AU Teldryn plays mahjong on his phone in his downtime because he's an old man. When she's bored, Anais will steal his phone and beat as many of his best times as possible before he realizes what she's doing. When he does he'll take his phone back and steal hers and go put it on the top shelf.

@drunkmiraak

[the-drunken-huntsman]

Here, I wrote another little ficlet based on this post

Gwindir belongs to @ancano!

**********

The friends had spent the evening mixing different alcohols together creating new drinks and getting absolutely wasted. Now the sun was down and they all lounged around the fire on the edge of the lake, idly picking at the fruit and cheeses the dragonborn had brought out from her pantry. The drinks had worked them all into a state where they would giggle at every little thing everyone said.

"This is what the Realms of Revelry feel like in case you were wondering," Anais said to no one in particular, not realizing exactly what it was she just admitted.

"The Realms of Revelry? You mean Sanguine's plane?" Faendal asked, suddenly no longer interested in whatever was at the bottom of his cup.

"No," Anais giggled back, throwing a grape at his forehead, "the other one, genius."

Now the interrogation really began. "Wait, how many planes of oblivion have you been to?" Gwin asked.

Anais stared up at her forehead as she focused hard on counting with her fingers. "Uh... one... two... three.... at least three." She was solid in her answer until a wave of confusion crossed over her face. "Wait, does the inside of the star count as part of Moonshadow?" she leaned over to ask Teldryn who nearly did a spit take

"You went inside of the star of azura?"

"Yeah..." she thought hard, "I did, or my soul did. Something like that." She went back to her drink and nearly choked on it trying to get her next thought out, "Oh! And the Soul Cairn. Is that part of Oblivion? I think it is. It should be."

[the-drunken-huntsman]

Anais, Teldryn, and Serana all seeing the Temple of Auri-El for the first time and all going "By Hircine"/"Azura's wisdom"/"By the blood" in awe at the same time ❤

Just woke up from a dream where I was walking around an amusement park after hours and I ran into Dagoth Ur, like literally ran into him I nearly fell down, and he just wordlessly reached into his pocket and handed me a business card with his picutre that said "your cute" grammar mistake and everything, and if you pressed it hard enough it played an audio clip of him saying that like a tumblr post. Hang on I cannot rest until I make the card

All these mods about "fixing" the vampire royal armor by removing the titty window

You really wanna fix it? Put the titty window on the male version too. That's equality.

Thinkin about Nerevarine!Teldryn and Anais an how they are essentially Azura's Boytoy and Hircine's Girlboss. Love that for them.
