A comparison between Sonic, Shadow, Stellar, and Stellar's failed lab siblings! I figured this would be a good way to both show the family resemblance and their differences (and update their height chart!)

"Inazuma is poorly written" meaning the worldbuilding's great but the plot needs a rewrite. "Natlan is poorly written" meaning the worldbuilding needs a redesign but the plot is great.

Another Morrowind OC reference, this time of Stellar (my Nerevarine) and Ramshurbani's son, Serib.

He's technically mixed Dunmer and Argonian, but TES Genetics™ means he's basically just a Dunmer and looks very similar to his mother, but is suspiciously sensitive to hot and cold temperatures.

TLDR summary:

He was born somewhere between 4E 50 and 100 to the complete surprise of his parents, who were under the impression they physically couldn't create a baby. Oops! He was unlucky in the genetic predisposition lottery and struggled with mental health issues from a young age, eventually escalating to self medicating and drug addiction as a young adult. He and his family and tribe had a very tumultuous relationship and he eventually got exiled from the Urshilaku for it, living as a Velothi. He later makes an effort to get clean with the help of his father, who drag him along on adventures to keep him occupied.

A Sonic and the Black Knight version of Stellar—Lady Archfedd, daughter of King Arthur!

Some lore:

Came to be when King Arthur and Sir Lancelot unknowingly laid together upon a fairy mound, resulting in the fey gifting (or perhaps cursing) the King with a changeling child. Despite Lancelot's protests, Arthur accepted the infant as his heir.

Lancelot is half fey himself in this AU, and thus has a wide knowledge of fey culture and behavior (the fairies in this AU look a lot like Black Arms aliens from canon).

Despite his initial reservations, Lancelot does eventually grow to see Archfedd as his daughter.

Due to Arthur and Lancelot's relationship being secret, in public Archfedd is simply known as the King's daughter.

Archfedd learns of her fey heritage in her teens.

A skilled swordswoman, her fighting style is like that of a dancer, slashing out with twin blades.

Her swords are dubbed Efeilliaid Eira—the Snow Twins. Said to almost shine blue in the midst of combat.

Being of fey heritage, her armor had to be specially crafted as to not harm her. Pure, precious metals such as gold, silver, and cold iron all burn her skin.

Despite being trained in combat by each of the knights of the round table, it is rare she actually gets to fight alongside them.

I wrote 2,000 words of WTS Cloudless Rain today, including a fresh take on THIS iconic scene:

In Baltan's experience, the most direct path was often the most reliable when it came to the truth. The murderers they had taken down always had elaborate schemes and longwinded monologues to justify themselves, but their actions always came down to a few simple questions with simpler answers. While other investigators had gotten caught up in the why and how, Baltan and Eureka had found much of their success in going straight to the what, when, and where. Even the mysterious newspaper, unsettling as it might be, was more than likely a ruse to draw them off course. A distraction to ensure the killer had time to set up their next move while they floundered and fretted. Eureka said the kid didn't have a name, so he didn't. Simple as. Which meant… "You are not naming him," Baltan said flatly. "He needs a name," Eureka responded, every bit as matter-of-fact. "I don't disagree, but I thoroughly object to you naming him." Baltan crossed his arms over his chest. "What did you call the last cat you found? Wasn't it Yellowy, or something? What kind of name is that?" "It wasn't Yellowy! It was Goldy." "And the others?"

Eureka counted them on his fingers. "Spotty, Peachy, Masky, Stripey, and…Gray-y." "My point stands," Baltan said. Still, it wasn't as if he had any ideas. He would have to come up with something fast. Bringing the boy into their home was already more involved than he wanted either of them to be; naming him was certain to cement whatever attachment Eureka had already formed. "Why don't we just call him Zhan for now? That's what we would do with any other nameless victim." "That's hardly better than leaving him without a name at all. And he isn't a corpse." Baltan opened a fresh bottle of soda and sat down next to Eureka on the couch. "Well, let's hear your suggestion, then. But I reserve the right to say no on his behalf." "Seasires," Eureka offered. "Which means?" Baltan pressed, an eyebrow raised. He was fairly certain he knew; he may not be fluent in Azure, but he knew enough to not get his ass kicked. Eureka glanced at the carpet. "There's nothing wrong with simple, descriptive names, you know. That's how my tribe names people. My name, for example, means horse. A good, strong, dependable animal for a good, strong, dependable person. And healthy! Nothing wrong with that." "Eureka." "It means…blue." "Wow. Four whole syllables for blue. Though I guess you get some credit for not trying Bluey." Baltan rolled his eyes and took a long drink. How had he come to respect and admire this man so much, when he thought naming everything after what color it happened to be was a good idea? "Your lack of taste in names matches your lack of taste in fashion. Try again."

Claiming those without sufficient technological or life extension access are proven criminals or non-citizens or are artificial simulations resembling life that do not need technological access or to have data recorded in relation to them. Criminals claiming their victims are merely automated. Automatics. Automated.

What is the worst thing your OC does in their story?

What is your OC’s ‘‘darkness moment’’ in the plot?

Dealer's choice on which OC for these!

Does your Vestige cross paths with Darien? (Which, like, *obviously* in the game mechanics, but do they have any sort of opinions/relationship outside of that, I guess.)

I think I'll do both Stellar (Nerevarine) and Elisere (LDB) for the first two!

What is the worst thing your OC does in their story

Stellar: He likes to think and act like he's this morally bankrupt bad boy, but he is not. Deep down he wants to be the good, celebrated hero, so he has pretty strong moral convictions and really can't bring himself to violate them. Probably the stuff he got up to as a teen was his worst, however. Prior to being shipped to Morrowind he was invovled in organized crime (which is what inevitably got him thrown in jail). Since he was young, he personally mostly did minor petty stuff and specialized in theft, but he was 100% an accomplice to much darker crime, and the specific event that got him caught invovled him crushing an old guy under some crates to distract the guards chasing him.

Elisere: Conversely, at the start, Elisere likes to think of her as this beacon of justice when her morals are actually pretty fucked up. Her initial intention on travelling to Skyrim was the (very unrealistic, emotionally fueled) goal of killing as many Nords as possible just because she hated Nords. She never actually got very far with this given she was caught literally at the border, so I wouldn't say that counts (although she probably took out a few random dudes during the initial commotion at Helgen). There is certainly a lot of only-kinda-justified killing under her belt, but there probably isn't one singular moment of "worst", rather a general shittiness of her character at the start of the game's story.

What is your OC's "darkest moment"

I'm going to interpret this as more their lowest moment, since a grimmest/most unethical interpretation would be pretty similar to the first one.

Stellar: After Caius suggested he might be the Nerevarine, Stellar got real pissed off about it (having been quietly wondering it himself, but he didn't want it to be true), took the money he had made from Caius, and travelled to Black Marsh with the intention of leaving Morrowind behind for good. Once he got there, though, he was slapped in the face with the reality that the local tribes didn't see him as a Saxhleel, and since he had basically no cultural connection to the Saxhleel it was unlikely he'd ever be truly accepted by anyone there besides of other outsiders. He felt like an outsider there, but didn't want to go back to Morrowind either.

Elisere: When her mother and grandmother died within like a week of each other. Her grandma was the only person in her life she felt fully open and comfortable with, and with both of them gone her whole family was a bit of a mess. She also saw them as her one connection to her snow elf heritage, so losing them was like losing a whole family history to her. It was the inciting incident to make her impulsive move to Skyrim.

As for my Vestige (Atena) and Darien, yes! They are buddies! Atena's "canon" alliance is the Daggerfall Covenant, so she goes through all the quests with him in Glenumbra, Rivenspire, and Bangkorai (and beyond. I also like to think they spent at least a little bit more time together casually outside of the game quests). Her first impression was that he was endearingly eye-roll worthy. Not interested in his flirting but definitely saw him as a friend. She's generally up to befriend anyone and everyone and recognized that he was worthy pretty quickly. He was type of friend you keep at arm's length to not get caught up in their hijinks but who you happily will listen to their stories about them after the fact. They get a lot closer leading up to the final assault in Coldharbour though, and especially during Summerset. Because of her memory issues, she doesn't actually think of him that often, but when she is remined of him it hits her like getting hit with a truck.

TYSM FOR THE ASK!!! It gave me some very interesting stuff to think about! <3
