#oc: arylene

[rosykims]

5 + 10 for emeraude, 14 + 18 for effie, 19 + 24 for arylene and 30 through 45 for imogen bc i love her so much ? 😏😏😏

fdjkfjkfdk thank u SO much maia i absolutely Treasure You !

EMERAUDE HAWKE - DA2

What does your OC normally wear? What would your OC wear on a special night?

emeraudes fashion sense is probably my favourite out of all my ocs, so uh if u havent looked at her pinterest board yet u should do that bc its Very cute hehehe

anyway for the most part she sticks to dark, practical clothing whenever she's out and about in kirkwall or doing merc work, etc. she picks clothes that convey strength and power, but she likes having a little bit of colour somewhere on the piece, just to keep things interesting. she's not much of an embroider, but was a good way to keep herself distracted during hard times, so she tends to add little patterns here and there whenever she gets the chance!

as for special occasions, for her this would actually just be. a quiet night at home or a relaxed gathering with her friends. bc its so rare for her to have that lmao. anyway for events like that she usually wears light colours and soft fabrics, simple but always decorated with flowers or colourful patterns.

What does your OC keep in a special drawer?

she has a collection of gifts ! that kids from lowtown would give her over the years she spent in kirkwall. she's a very community based person and wants to do right for her city, and shes very nurturing (in an ironical, Cool Big Sister way) so she likes making sure all the kids are safe and being looked after. she gets a lot of trinkets and strange gifts from some of the kids as a result, but she does treasure them (even if she laughs about it with her friends) and keeps them all !

EFFIE RYDER - MEA

Who is the mother and/or father figure in your OC’s life?

effie's maternal rolemodel has always been her late mother, ellen. nobody could really fill that role in her eyes, since they had such a close, positive relationship before she passed. her relationship with her dad was a lot more strained and it really impacted a lot of her relationships later on in life too ! she tends to.... see an older man who is Vaguely Nice to her, and then think “ oh, youre my dad now?” which isnt fair to anybody obviously but yeah she,,,, has a lot of unresolved issues regarding alec and tends to unintentionally project so. We stan !

How many times did your OC move as a child? Which area was his/her favorite?

oh constantly lol. With her dad being an n7 and her mother working so hard on her research, they tended to move around wherever her parents work required. she actually enjoyed it this way. she was never good at making long term friends, but she lived meeting new people, and obviously with the move she got to experience a lot of different cultures which really put the idea of adventuring and travelling in her head at a young age.

ARYLENE TORR - TES IV

What does your OC think of children- either in general or about having them?

she likes them ! she tends to keep her distance with most communities and groups of people in particular, but she does like enjoys having the odd conversation with the odd street urchin here and there, either sharing with them some strange, ridiculous life advice or – if shes feeling particularly chaotic – telling them the scariest stories she can think of. as for having them, arylene isnt AGAINST the idea, but she has far too much for the foreseeable future for that to ever be a good idea

Who are the people your OC dislikes/hates?

outwardly, arylene is an almost unbearably easy going person, so you would assume she doesnt hate anyone lol. but she does DEEEPLY dislike cults and groups of ignorant people who are arrogant enough to start messing with the balance of life, or making deals with gods, etc. she believes that people like that can do an unbelievable amount of damage, so she invests a lot of time and effort it sabotaging any group or plot she happens to find !

 IMOGEN FOSTER - RDR2

Did your OC participate in extracurricular activities, and if so, what were they?

hmm idk if this even EXISTED in 19th century london lol, but she would have done some very tame version of girl scouts as a child! She barely remembers any of it, but she liked the classes on what plants did what, which were safe to eat, and the likes. its something that helps her a lot when on the run with the gang, and something shes always had a personal interest in, as a nurse !

other than that, she’s done a lot of independent study on history, classical literature, and she speaks fluent italian we stan !

What is your OC’s opinion of school? What kind of student was s/he?

imogen comes from a very wealthy aristocratic family, so she was very fortunate that her privilege afforded her the education she got at the time. she is VERY grateful to have attended the schools she did, and she made sure to make the most of it, paying attention in class and studying harder than most of her classmates. she's a smart girl with a very active mind, so knowledge is something she can't get enough of. she was actually petitioning the board of education to allow her to attend university before she left for america – already their had been women accepted into universities at that time, but obviously it was still a very scandalous thing lol, especially since imogen wanted to study medicine.

What subjects did your OC excel at?

imogen is a HUGE overachiever and did pretty well at basically everything from science, mathematics, language studies and later on, in her studies as a nurse. i can tell you what shes bad at though lmao

anything physical really dkdkdks she is TERRIBLE at horse-riding since she usually just went by carriage everywhere in the city. art and poetry and writing in general she was never great at, because she's a pretty logical person and was told she never put enough emotion in her work lol !!! sports...obviously was very limited anyway as growing up in like? the early 1870s lol. and as for the traditionally feminine lessons in like ?? sewing and cooking and stuff well ! she was very average at them which made her  feel worse than if she was actually bad bc she's so used to excelling and making a name for herself oof

What subjects interested your OC?

Imogen loves greek literature and mythology !! the iliad is her favourite book and she keeps her heavily annotated, dog eared copy – a gift from her late father – on her person almost constantly. needless to say its why dutch admires her as much as he does lol.

obviously, as a nurse-trying-to-be-a-doctor, she has a great love for medicine in all its forms. she's always been fascinated in natural remedies, and even moreso when she's running with the van der linde gang and is really relying on the land to survive.

What is your OC’s dream job and/or current profession?

hmm okay so. Technically she's a nurse – she worked in her father's hospital for almost 10 years prior to his death, and she was sort of his unofficial understudy, as in she knows a LOT more than her job description requires lol. but after her father past away, another, less progressive man took his place as chief of surgery and made a lot of changes to the way the hospital operated, and imogen was let go. she and her mother were fighting against it, however, under the ground of unfair dismissal, but obviously given the time period it didnt get them very far. so ! i mean technically she's unemployed rn. but she still has dreams of being a doctor, or at least continuing her career in medicine.

How is your OC working towards their dream job and/or achieved their current profession?

Oh VERY direct action up until she got disheartened and chose to take her sabbatical. she had been working in her role for nearly a decade, and was very obviously one of the most experienced nurses there. even younger doctors would sometimes ask her for her medical opinion dksksks anyway what i am saying is Brain Very Good. she had been fighting to gain admission into a university – any, she wasnt picky – to study medicine officially, but it didnt get very far and she put it on hold after her father got sick. after he died and she was laid off, she fought even harder against the city to reinstate her title, and continues to fight after she returns from america a year or so later.

What are your OC’s thoughts/opinions of his/her current profession?

helping people is her entire life, and she wouldn't know what to do without it. she loves being a nurse enough to fight to be a doctor, but also in BEING a nurse, she is hyperaware of all the things current medical standards seem to get wrong, and she has a lot of ideas about how else to go about things. her father, a shockingly progressive and worldly man for the time period, shared her sentiment, but he wasn't able to make the changes he wanted to before he passed, so imogen hopes she can be the change herself, and make her father proud

What is your OC’s biggest dream?

being a licenced doctor, babey ! preferably at her father's hospital, but at the point she will take what she can get.

How does your OC react to and handle stress?

imogen  handles stress very well , which is partially why she makes such a good medic, and also how she managed to survive the first week of being with the van der linde gang lmao. she is very good at shutting out EVERY distraction when things get dicey, and her brain tends to move at a million miles an hour. all traces of english etiquette and politeness go out the window, though, so you'll usually catch her barking orders at people, and yelling at anyone who prevents her from doing the work she needs to do. it.....is a big wake up call for people like dutch and micah, and gets her into a LOT of trouble on multiple occasions.

How does your OC handle anger?

ooo......not great. she’s grown up with parents who maybe encouraged her to speak her mind a bit....TOO much given the historical circumstances lol. she really doesn’t stand for ignorance or prejudices in any capacity, and if she has a problem with someone and it gets in the way of her trying to do her work or help others - she will ABSOLUTELY be having words. she also overestimates her own strength quite a lot. she’s tried to throw hands with micah MANY times, often forgetting she’s this tiny 70kg englishwoman and he’s .... Him sdjkdcjkf. she has a big mouth too so she often says snide remarks without even meaning too, which tends to get her in trouble as well. on the bright side, it also helps her fit in with the gang quite well, because for the most part they all appreciate how wild she is lmao

How does your OC handle grief?

hmm i guess it depends on what you would class as “well”? she doesnt cry very often - being stoic and handling your emotions is important when your a nurse - but she does tend to shove her feelings down far longer than she should, and tries to pretend they don’t exist by simply focusing on other things. she also blames herself when a lot of things go wrong, because she’s a perfectionist and wants to FIX everything, so when she finds something - or someone - she can’t save, it feels like a personal failure. like she let them down :(

What is your OC’s greatest fear?

probably being trapped in an unhappy, unfulfilling marriage with someone who undervalues her. she’s not much of a homebody and doesn’t have too much of an interest in being married, but the idea of feeling FORCED to marry someone in order to have a decent quality of life makes her blood run cold oof

What makes your OC happy?

helping people ! meeting new folks ! learning about other cultures and ways of life! learning about NEW THINGS in general ! proving people wrong ! insulting micah !

as tough and high-and-mighty as she sometimes seems, she’s a pretty easy person to please, honestly. treat her with respect, give her space to do the things she wants to do, and don’t get in the way of her opportunities to learn new things, and she’s mostly very happy !

What kind of sense of humor does your OC have?

she has a fairly macabre and sardonic sense of humour, something she picked up from her mother. she says a lot of Shocking things for the time period, and she’s not shy of dirty jokes either. the first time sean heard her, a soft, well spoken english Lady, make some filthy, crude joke, he nearly had a stroke right there on the spot kjkjkfdjkf

What are some things that greatly upset your OC?

senseless violence, suffering or cruelty. she really hated the gang at first and hoped to escape the first chance she got, because all she could see was the crime and disregard for human life she assumed they all held. fortunately, as she got to know them, she realized this wasn’t exactly the case, but she still has a lot of anger in her heart for a few key members of the gang who seem to enjoy bloodshed more than anything. she also hates any form of social prejudice, and people who gatekeep knowledge and opportunities from others.

What are some things that annoy your OC?

i guess all of the above, but she also dislikes misplaced arrogance, and people who talk down to others. she tolerates dutch, but often gets frustrated with the way he speaks, using as many big words as he can to manipulate and confuse others. she believes that really intelligence doesn’t require obscure jargon and big, fancy words - she likes keeping things simple, so everybody can follow along.

Update: OCs Page & More!

A few updates!

1. Well, I added more characters - there’s now 40.  I’m still debating adding a few more. . .  Someone stop me!  Here’s the link if you want to go look at them.

That said, 14 of them have bios now:

Vespiel

Arylen Hult

Varian Cassianos

Ruhktal Förfrusen

Eska Atskadi

both the 1920 and modern version of Åke Kivelä

both the 1920 and modern version of Danny

the 1920 version of Takumi and the modern version, Kumiko

Silvester Hayes

Tove Saarinen

Aina Harmaajärvi

14 will have to wait indefinitely for bios, and I’ll work on getting bios up for the last 12!  For now, I may go through and add just a short line of description about them in place of a proper bio.

And as always, please feel free to ask me about any of my characters!  I adore oc asks games and the like.

2. I’m planning to start filling out my project pages.  I’ll post updates as I go, but it may be slow going.  University took up a lot of time, but at least now I’ll be able to get back into the right mindset instead of worrying about essays.

I may also try and write some short, possibly vaguely interconnected pieces as well.  I haven’t decided if I’ll post them here, or under the Original Work fandom on Ao3 (I’ll certainly post a link if that’s the case).  Who knows. . .

[rosykims]

nordxz replied to your post “hmm i guess arylene is also a dragon age oc now  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

tell me.. about.... the babe

jtrgtrghtgrvjhgrtyj GOD OKAY WELL 

arylene is my oblivion oc !! and she was basically just a way for me to completely disregard elder scrolls lore purely out of spite bc i know.....very little abt the worldbuilding of that series and i plan on keeping it that way htrghgtrhutgr

but she’s a summoner/alchemist bosmer and i hc she used to run with a daedra worshipping cult (POSSIBLY sheogorath, who she eventually becomes in the dlc lmao idk) and she ended up Seeing Things which drove her slightly mad but left her with this creepy, vague knowlegde of lots of useless things and some /very/ useful things 

anyway she’s basically the Local Village Witch trope, very aloof and eccentric and only every interacts with people when she’s selling potions or stealing from people but she’s pretty self serving for the most part, she’ll only really help people if she knows there’s something in it for her, or she can foresee it having benefits in the future u know? 

so yeah 4th-wall breaking cryptid village witch who communicates with the universe, offers seemingly awful psychic advice that actually ends up being somewhat helpful, and acknowledges and then blatantly disregards the lore of her universe just because. i love her so much. also she has a pet mouse !!!

[rosykims]

arylene, my bosmer oblivion oc, is literally the maker. change my mind

[rosykims]

⭐️! Maybe for a POC OC? 💁🏿‍♀️

sure thing !

★ - arylene is a summoner, but she doesn’t often need to use her powers offensively (obviously despite All the events that happen in oblivion l m a o) so she ends up using her spells primarily on just??? summoning cute lil animals that keep her company while she’s out and about in the woods. her favourite is a little mouse who i still need to name, which lives in the pockets of her clothes and just hangs out with her through all the ridiculous stuff that happens in tes iv

RANDOM OC HEADCANONS 

[dragonbookhoard]

New OCs!

I added my Pathfinder characters to my OC page.  They haven’t been tagged in anything yet, but at least now they’re on the list!  Feel free to ask me stuff about them - or any of my OCs.

Here’s the new crew:

Rezzik

A tiefling scoundrel from Nirmathas that now makes his home in the lawless city of Riddleport.  His main pleasures in life are booze and whoever he can charm between the sheets.  As well as his asexual queer-platonic partner, Arylen.  Despite his general fun-loving attitude, one gets the sense that things weren’t always so easy for the Caydenite.

Arylen

Though he’s an aasimar, Arylen hardly looks it - nor does he look like what one would expect an Ulfen to look like.  Regardless, he is both. Called by some higher power to search Golarion for whatever tales and stories he might find, he currently makes his home with his tiefling partner Rezzik in Riddleport and spends most of his time, when not keeping Rezzik out of trouble, studying the Cyphergate.

Cōzahtli

A fetchling who considers Nidal his home, Coz is a shadowcaller trained by the Dusk Hall in Pangolais.  Despite his talents, his race keeps his superiors from fully giving him his dues and he’s determined to prove otherwise, that he is just as good if not better than any human Nidalese wizard.  He worships Zon-Kuthon, the god of pain and misery, finding a strange beauty and truth in the negative space they create.  He finds them necessary.

Nysra

A human cleric of Zon-Kuthon, Nysra is Coz’s former master who now serves the dark church in Nisroch.  Zealous in her devotion to her god, she revels in spreading the faith.

Vespiel

A human druid, part of a cabal called the Shades of the Uskwood, he reveres Zon-Kuthon as much as he has dedicated himself nature and the dark power of the Uskwood, the forest at the heart of Nidal.  He has albinism and lost his hearing when he was very young.

Raeshin

While not a devotee of Zon-Kuthon, he once enforced the laws of Nidal’s military theocracy as a Silent Enforcer, a mute human solider of the Silent Shroud that kept the law absolute in Nisroch.  After an incident, he was spared death by Vespiel’s attentions and amusement and now serves as his bodyguard and interpreter.

I really should start actually posting short stories and things with them...  Maybe if there’s interest?
