When I look at you, I feel real again. Alive.

Talaris: There are three chairs and five kids. What do you do? Koth: Get two more chairs. Lana: Cut each chair in half to make six. Lea: Make them FIGHT for their seats! Theron: I would never be near children. Rutha: Get rid of two kids.

I wanted to do a monthly reveiw, but then realised that due to Life I haven't been consistent enough to do that this year. So, a Top Three instead of stuff I'm proud of this year. First this one, which I am still really proud of. The lighting and the posing and the detail I am very pleased with.

OG post: https://www.tumblr.com/littlemisspractical/707271740163801088/a-dramatic-scene-from-my-tuesday-game-that-i-have?source=share

This is the next one, which I drew for my DnD party when our game ended and I ... may or may not have forgotten to post here. Oh well! I am still pleased with how it came out!

[Image description] Talari, on the left of the group, stands with her hands held in front of her and a slight smile. She is a white half-elf with ginger hair cut in a bob. She is wearing a white shirt, brown trousers, and a black open-fronted robe with a silver holy symbol on the front. Nadia is standing just behind and to her right. She is a tall, muscular, white human woman. She is similing with her eyes closed and her head tilted, with one arm around Krusk. She is wearing a cream tank top decorated with red tufts of fur, brown trouers and fur boots. She has a necklance in the shape of an oak leaf. Krust is standing to Nadia's right with one arm on her shoulder, also similing with his eyes closed. He is a tall half-orc man wearing blue-grey plate armour and a dramatic red cloak. His other hand is resting on Dezeldmiir's shoulder. Ulva the direwolf is stood behind Nadia and Thoradin. She has jumped up to put her front paws on their shoulders, and has her tounge hanging out. She has brown-grey fur and the air of a wolf well pleased with herself. Thoradin is stood in front of Nadia and Krusk. He is a very muscular, white dwarf man, with long, flaming ginger hair and beard. His is grinning confidently with his arms crossed. He is shirtless, with many black tattoos. He wear a wide wrestlers belt, green plaid trousers, and large boots. A small black housecat sits on his foot. Dezeldmiir is standing on the right. She is a petite drow woman with purple skin and lilac hair. She is wearing a blue wrap dress, a silver brooch, and a flower in her hair. She is barefoot. [End image description]

My third pick for the year is a sketch I did for a little art exchange, of my character Mina talking to another OC with very similar interests. It came out really well!

Overall actually a good year for my art, I've drawn a lot more even if I haven't posted, and I've been usign Tumblr more and more so hopefully NEXT year I'll have more stuff!

"Not so Nice Edition" ASK GAME TIME!!!! :D

Tell me about what ever OC you're currently dying to talk about. (And totally don't take into consideration I have the biggest soft spot for bean-plant-boy Athenath. I mean it. Any OC out of any of your works. We all have that one that is over-looked and we NEED to rant about. Now's the time. :3) Or if there's multiple, all the better ❤❤❤

Future

Midnight

Mistake

secret

OOOOOOOOOO i'm very very excited to answer these >:3c i have some characters including the trio i'd like to throw into these! this is gonna get very very long unfortunately HAAHKJFHGKHDFGJK

i answered for emeros, athenath, wyndrelis, talari, maxim, casirus, and syranel!

future: What's the worst possible future for your OC? Are they taking steps to avoid that outcome? Are they even aware it's a possibility?

athenath - it's hard to explain how it would wind up, but if we're talking worst of all worst possible futures? the trio is going to meet the dark brotherhood at some point, and however that goes is still up in the air, but if we want to talk about possibilities, the worst outcome for him would be to lose himself as Listener to the Night Mother. a complete inversion of their devotion to Mara, and the isolation of self that would come from it. athenath is a good person at heart, but they don't believe it, and if they allowed himself to be entirely isolated into the role of Listener and lose touch with everyone around them, SOLELY focusing on their duties as an assassin? they'd lose everything, in a way. they're not aware this is even on the table, if he lets it be.

emeros - emeros is not an angry person, to be honest, but if he loses himself in something he's currently seeking throughout the story… i'm not going to spoil too much, but vengeance is an obsessive weed, and he's got to have the power to pluck it where it stands and burn the roots. he's more than capable of that, but there's going to come a point where he's not even certain he could if he wanted to. worst possible outcome is becoming someone he can no longer look in the mirror, someone he doesn't even know, and losing his connections to his friends through this. he's very aware this is a possibility, and he's going to fight it tooth and nail if he can.

wyndrelis - trying not to spoil too much (as it's both a plot point in the future of CotS and his backstory fic, "Bone of my Bone"), but if wyndrelis returned to a path he used to walk when he was in the College of Whispers, then there would be a very real possibility his own talents would be his undoing and complete destruction. he used to have a mentor who saw insane talent in him, and worked with him constantly and diligently. this mentor is the reason wyndrelis started down a path that could have destroyed him. power-seeking is a big problem for him, and he's aware this is a possibility, and shudders to think what would happen if the temptation to go back arose again.

midnight: What keeps your OC up at night? Do they have nightmares? Fears? Anxieties? What do they do in the small hours of the morning when they should be sleeping?

maxim - his home was in the city of winterhold, before the great collapse. all his friends, his family, his loved ones, all gone in the blink of an eye while he was away in dawnstar doing business as a bookseller. he does have nightmares about it, mostly about the "what ifs", what if he hadn't gone out the days before? what if he'd stayed home and done business locally? would he have been in the sea with them? would he have never become a scholar at winterhold, never a professor? when he cant sleep, he makes tea with a calming potion and sits by a window, drinking it slowly and trying to remind himself of the present moment.

casirus - his life as a former vigilant of stendarr still haunts him. he still keeps his amulet close. it means nothing to him anymore. he doesn't have nightmares, but he does lay awake thinking about his time there, what he did, the things he's responsible for. hunting down people for their beliefs, tormenting them for worshipping daedric princes, was he no better than the thalmor that prowl in pursuit of talos worshippers? he has a lot on his mind, and he tries to not let it eat him up. when he can't sleep, or when he wakes up and can't fall back to sleep, he'll grab his lute and head outside to the courtyard and spend time just strumming, returning to the basics, easy things he knows and won't take much thought. it keeps him grounded.

talari - guilt, mostly. she thinks that she should have been stronger, should have stayed with the Synod when the great war was starting, when they were gearing up to fight with the imperial battle mages against the aldmeri dominion. she left because her family had been loyal to the dominion for many years, and she didn't have the courage, in her mind, to fight her family. so, she often ponders the "what ifs" of this. sometimes, if she and deroth duskmire (a dominion defector) are awake at the same time on nights like these, they'll sit together in silence and read, or just talk a little, a sort of understanding with the other without words being needed.

mistake: What's the worst mistake your OC ever made? What led to them making it? Have they been able to fix it? How have they moved on?

athenath - i can't spoil it just yet, but there's a reason that athenath became a devotee to the goddess of compassion. she's the only one that he felt could give them absolution.

syranel - becoming a justiciar. he doesn't know its a mistake yet. he was already a low-ranking soldier for the dominion for many years (mostly just doing paperwork or guard duty) and when his talents were finally recognized and he could become a justiciar, he took it without thinking of the effect it would have. he's lost someone very, very close to him due to this decision, and while he thinks that this person was in the wrong, he'll come to realize one day that it was quite the opposite.

wyndrelis - he didn't check the enchantments properly on a staff one time, and it cost someone their life. he'll never really be able to fix it, but he's doing his best to move forward.

secret: What's one secret your OC never wants anyone to know about them?

athenath - he never wants anyone to see them for who they really are: some grieving, scared kid who had to grow up too fast. a lot of their fear comes out as having a temper.

emeros - that he thinks he's a coward, incapable of ever really making amends for some of the greatest mistakes (and in his mind, acts of cowardice or ignorance) of his life.

wyndrelis - he'd give anything for no one to know it was him who caused the clocktower fire in his home town, and he never, ever wants to tell anyone about it.

thank you so much for sending these!! i had a hell of a great time answering them <33

not-so-nice oc asks

[throughtrialbyfire]

i wanna ramble abt my ocs so im doing just that <3

matilda and arteus have 3 kids, all grown now! they love their children so much

nethalam used to work with the college of whispers, before the great war. talari used to work in the synod, also before the great war. they now both teach at the college of winterhold and HATE each other

casirus used to be a vigilant of stendarr, before joining the bards college. he regrets his previous life a lot

emeros used to have a small shop with some friends when he lived in high rock! he loved it there, and misses it sometimes

wyndrelis has a great sense of humor, he just seems very closed off at first (its the 'tism)

Cipher 10

Talaris Feier (og name)

Devik Fayer (official name post-Intelligence)

Aaden Challe (republic trooper allias)

In my verse Talaris is an older Cipher, who started his field work somewhere in the last years of war and became a Cipher agent somewhere during the first five years of Treaty of Coruscant. Thus he was in his late 30s at the start of the Agent class story. He had attracted the attention of the Sith in general and Darth Jadus in particular during a rather complex operation on eliminating a number of Sith traitors due to his impressive skills, which included besting several of the Sith and their Apprentices in direct combat.

Jadus had Talaris promoted to Cipher and then had him do work in his interests, something that had quickly begun to take its toll on the agent. Dark Lord had his doubts about letting such a skilled asset be left unsupervised in the Intelligence's hands, plus Feier's loyalty towards Empire first, Sith second, had caused him enough concern that had him commission the Sphere of Science (or whatever it's called) to begin work on a non-lethal failsafe for the Ciphers. In the meantime he kept a close eye on the agent. It was Talaris and Keeper's rather creative take at "out of sight, out of mind" that had put Cipher 10 away from Darth Jadus before the Agent got compromised under pressure of the Sith's aura. For the next 7 years Cipher 10 had been operating on the outskirts of the Sith Empire.

Around 12 ATC Feier got a "request" to assist in an Admiral's plan of having the infamous Havoc Squad defecti

to the Empire. It had Cipher 10 spend half a year in a Republic Military Academy and then another couple weeks on Ord Mantell as the newest member of Havoc in order to make sure the whole deal wasn't a ruse. Operation went as smoothly as possible, leaving behind one demoted Cathar and a rather confused trooper whose paperwork got so mixed up he couldn't get to his new posting with his new Squad at Ord Mantell until Havoc had disappeared without a trace (only to reappear months later, now working for the Empire).

(No one at the Republic Military Command knew nor cared about an "Aaden Challe".)

(SIS was very interested in an "Aaden Challe", who was not a new member of Havoc Squad, and who has not been seen or heard of after)

It's during this period of downtime that Talaris learns of Darth Jadus' death at some terrorists hands. Still, he's not gonna cry about a Sith being dead.

In 6 weeks time he gets a priority order to report to the Intelligence HQ at Dromund Kaas.

Talaris Feier returns to the heart of his Empire after almost a decade of not nearing the heart worlds closer than two sectors.

Keeper informs him of an assassination, a terrorists cell network across the Galaxy, and an untimely death of a young Cipher.

Talaris Feier becomes famous at Intelligence for his victory over Jadus' deception. He spends weeks in the medbay for his triumph.

He leaves with a slight headache, supposedly from medication, and a break.

He was not, in fact, prepared for his involuntary "defection" to the Republic SIS cell.

Legate is closer to Ardun in age than the rest of the team. He's also not flirting with enemies. That doesn't stop codename Hunter from flirting back.

There's this new OC tag game going around. The rules are simple: take this here quiz:

(I'm from my phone so no fancy links behind words sorry)

- from the pov of your OC (-s). Share the results and have fun!

I was tagged by @davidoodles (thx btw!!!)

Tagging @flora-tea @chaosgoblinhours @yamikuruku @bluezeri and anyone who wants to join! (no pressure)

I chose my Sith and Agent because their characters I can actually describe.

Rutha Kallig aka Darth Occlus

"resounding truth

you have a goal in mind, and others brush it off right away... why does everyone always tell you to follow your dreams when it's actually their dreams that they want you to follow? your memory is weak, and your conviction is even weaker on days when you're reminded of how alone you really are. it's hard to go on without someone pushing you forward... is this what life is? a cycle of monotony, fueled only by the desire not to trouble anyone too much with your passing? it would be nice to have something, or someone, to spur you on. i hope you find them. "

Talaris Feier aka Cipher 10

"fractured glass

no amount of orchestrated class is ever going to hide the fact that you’re doomed to be alone. you’re a puppet, you’re a weapon, but most importantly? you’re a fraud. your facade isn’t malicious, but that doesn’t change a thing. everything in your life is in your control now, and you chose to let yourself become stiff and distant. you’re guilty of everything you blame yourself for, and your misfortune is the fault of nobody but yourself. your selfish nature forges you into a man-made monster, so quick to blame and so desperate to escape consequence. i hope that you can become someone you’re proud of soon."

[spitzobsessed]

The list of my current SWTOR OCs is short. Rutha Alon Kallig-Revel, Kaylin Khesim, Talaris Feier, Leandro Leekha, Carainvor, Jare Xanra, Savorus Lehenda, Attive'ros'okiren.

Should I add "how to pronounce the names" guide though?
