OC TAG GAME ｡*･♡;

i was tagged by the lovely @noonfaerie to categorize some ocs + use this picrew; tysm ambie!! 💕💕

♡ FAVORITE OC.

ursula — baldur’s gate 3

my three favorite ocs always alternate between ursula, thea, and audra, but as of right now i’ve really been on an ursa kick!! probably my most universally beloved oc as well?? u guys already know everything abt her—a sailor, a tyrant, a lesson in pride, and the rest!!!!! her backstory makes my soul ache and i just love her sm celebrate pride this year by driving ur gf to her death just like ursula !! 🌈 🌈

♡ NEWEST OC.

lacie lane — infamous (if)

my gorgeous gorgeous girl!! my cocky ex gf!!!! my problematic lead singer!!!!!! u guys know the gist. what can be said abt lacie other than she’s toxic and beautiful and not as in control as she thinks. i’m really eager to see infamous develop so i can think of some juicy lacie/seven content bc as of right now i’ve been in a creative drought 😔

♡ OLDEST OC.

rowena cousland — dragon age: origins

so rowena is technically my second oldest oc (the honor of first belongs to silla 💕) but i’m listing her instead of silla because her story and personality has been consistent for the past ten years whereas silla has evolved!! rowena is proud, stubborn, and clever as the devil—and each of these traits have been both flaw and merit. her relationship with alistair is complex and tragic but mended with a bit of time.

♡ MEANEST OC.

kinasi irress — star wars

honestly ursula and jael were both strong competitors for most cruel oc, but kina takes the cake because, unlike the other two who cultivated strong affinities/bonds in their youth, kinasi has never known kindness. for over thirty years she lived in an environment of fear, hatred, and isolation. all she knew was the vie for power and all she knew was punishment if she failed the social climb. in a world of every-man-for-himself and please-your-master-or-fall-from-grace, community-centric skills such as teamwork, generosity, and emotional support were nonexistent, and so she never developed them. to be “mean,” which is putting it lightly, was just their nature. dog eat dog. need against need.

♡ SOFTEST OC.

ellery lux — pillars of eternity

the sweetest weirdo who ever lived!! ellery is a druid who, after being separated from her parents, raised herself in the forest with no one but the creatures and sun-dappled greenery for company. everything she learned, she learned from the woods—tenderness a kind of virtue no human could have taught her. she’s decisive and gentle and accepting and doesn’t care for social conventions in the slightest AND!!! i love her so much 🌿🦌🤍

♡ MOST ALOOF/STANDOFFISH OC.

salylia dreneri — the elder scrolls: morrowind

she doesn’t mean to be this way, but she’s a stranger in a strange land and her former partner just framed her and there’s some freak talking to her in her head and she can’t help but put herself at a distance from everyone !! though she was always the cool, quiet one—tennebrae did most of the talking.

♡ DUMBEST (AFFECTIONATE) OC.

bright — dungeons & dragons

her true name eaki, bright was given to a halfling village deep in the bramblewood when she was just an infant. an odd combination, tiefling and halflings, but they understood social scorn and ostracization and accepted her completely. when her adoptive sibling fell mysteriously ill, bright, at the behest of the village herbalist, sought out an ancient forest entity, and struck a deal—the life of her sibling (and many boons) in exchange for a favor when the time comes. all this being said, she is not the wisest warlock around. bright is bright for her charm and silliness, not her brains.

♡ SMARTEST OC.

jael khatri — pathfinder: wrath of the righteous

this was another tough one between jael and cath, but jael won because she’s, in the most reductive of terms, a sexy evil experimentalist!! everyone already knows everything abt jael and how her cruelty is clinical and her wit is sharp as a knife from when i first played pwotr last year but i’ll never stop being obsessed with her!!!

♡ OC YOU’D BE BEST FRIENDS WITH IRL.

corintha trevelyan — dragon age: inquisition

this isn’t because i think i’d get along with her best (i think that would be emika or honey??) but because i love a DELUSIONAL girlie. i’d kill to pick her brain fhdjfnfnfbd

34. bauble w/ ellery!

34. bauble + ellery lux.

setting: deadfire. aloth/ellery centric.

Aloth found her on the floor crying.

The storm had thrown the ship into chaos above deck, and the quarters below did not fair much better. The ship lurching so suddenly his books came toppling off their shelves should have been a warning for the impending storm, but Aloth had still been surprised to see the downpour of torrential rain that awaited them on the deck. All hands went to work strapping cargo down and hoisting, and Ellery in the middle of it all as fearless as ever, the rain beating against her as she attempted to calm the near-black clouds. Just the sight of her—her arms raised high and her figure completely drenched as she soothed the sky—had been enough to inspire the crew to hold on. And most magnificent of all: it had worked.

Until it hadn’t.

Aloth had not been watching her, nor did he hear her gasp over the rain, but he had seen the retreating clouds thicken once more and return with a ferocity, and when he had looked to where she had been standing, he’d caught a glimpse of her dashing below deck. He had meant to chase after her—and did nearly let go of the rope he had been holding—but Edér hollered at him to leave her.

For hours the crew had struggled to keep the ship together and by the time it was over, Ellery had still not returned. Their companions had bickered about what to say to her, some frustrated, some concerned, but Aloth ultimately offered to find her.

And so he did.

It was a dreadful sight. Her quarters had been sacked by the storm, clothes and furniture strewn every which way, shattered glass on every surface, and the various flowers he’d once watched her happily druidcraft were now dead. But the storm hadn’t caused that, had it? Ellery was on the floor at the foot of her bed, her dress splayed out before her as she sat surrounded by dozens of glass shards, her bleeding hands laying limp in her lap as she cradled something small he couldn’t quite make out.

Her hair was still damp from the rain. She looked at him with tearful, devastating eyes. “It broke.”

Aloth’s heart ached and he smiled softly. “So I see, my friend.”

He gingerly stepped further into the room, careful to avoid ruining anything further, and knelt down by her side. Ellery sniffed pathetically. She curled her fingers further around the object she held.

Her voice was as fragile everything else around her. “Is everyone okay?”

“Everyone is fine,” he assured. The he listed his head. “Serafen could be happier.”

She gave a weak laugh, but Aloth knew her real one when he heard it. He smiled in relief—until her face crumpled.

“I’m sorry,” she whimpered, and as fresh tears fell, she leaned to rest her head on his shoulder. Aloth hesitated to put an arm around her, settling on placing his hand on the small of her back.

Aloth had seen her like this before, of course, more than five years ago after Defiance Bay. It was an uncomfortable sort of role reversal for the two of them at the time—Aloth never knowing what to do with his hands, or his words, or anything really, because she was always the decisive one, the talker. Aloth was not uncomfortable now, or tense. Just quiet. He knew her.

After some time, Ellery’s shuddering breaths turned to sniffles and she was ready to speak. She opened her hands back up and her small wounds had healed somewhat, just as her druidcrafted decor. Though relieved she seemed to be feeling better, Aloth’s attention fell to the object in her hand, and it dawned on him why she had left in such a panic.

“I thought I could save it in time,” she whispered.

In Ellery’s hands was a palm-sized glass flower—a columbine, she had once told him—of pale pink color, now cracked down the center, with two inner petals broken off, as well as the center. The green shards of glass scattered around them used to make up the spherical bottle she had once kept it in. One piece in particular still had the twine wrapped around it from when it hung from a bar on the ceiling along with all her other baubles. This one was special to her, he knew. It once belonged to a decorative candelabra in her bedroom half a decade ago.

The last piece she had left of Caed Nua.

“Caed Nua was my home,” she said. “My home.” She pursed her lips and shook her head. “I know it’s gone but… it’s so far away.” She choked out a laugh. “I don’t do well with distance.”

“Indeed, I remember the letters.” He did not mean for it to be teasing but it wound up sounding just the same.

“Oh, the letters!” she wailed and he was almost afraid she’d begin to cry again. “I kept every single one, you know. I wish I had them as well.”

Aloth held back a smile. Perhaps she no longer possessed his letters, but he still held onto most of hers. The dried flowers she sent along with them had been his favorite part, reminiscent of the ones she used to press into his books when he wasn’t looking. But that was a secret to share with her another time.

“I…” she began. She frowned. “I miss my home. I am afraid I’ll never have another.”

Aloth knew her story well. He tried to imagine the life she’d lived, never sleeping in one place for too long, becoming one with the woodland creatures, then stumbling across a place as valiant as Caed Nua. In a way, he understood her. He too found a home in the most curious of places. Luckily for him, she’s still standing.

“Ellery.” He said her name tentatively, and she sensed the shift in tone. She raised her head from his shoulder to look at him, but with the added pressure of her gaze he readjusted his position. Staring at the broken columbine trying to find the words, he placed his hand atop her own, locking it between their palms. Touch was not always easy for him, but this was.

“Five years ago, you made a home out of a few wandering souls you just happened across. Edér, Pallegina, Sagani, myself… It was more difficult than I can describe for us to leave Caed Nua. Do you know why?”

Ellery blinked at him, eyes wide. “Because…”

“Because home is not Caed Nua, Ellery, it is you.” He shook her hand a bit to emphasize the statement. “Wherever you are, Ellery, that is…” Aloth could not finish his thought then because Ellery looked at him in such a way that he’d wish she’d never stop.

She beamed, tears springing into her eyes once more, but she brushed them away with her free hand.

Outside, Aloth heard commotion as their companions seemed to be arguing as they assessed the ship’s repairs. Aloth stood and held his hand down for her.

“Come now. We have a home to fix.”

#she’s such a crybaby fjdbshdjfdb i love her <33 #tysm!!!!! this was a fun one!!!!!!! longer than i intended and also i’m really rusty when it comes to aloth since it’s been so long #but they’re cute <3 #also i did not proofread so if there are typos u all have my sincerest apologies #letters #narshadda #writing* #poe #pillars of eternity #ch: ellery lux #x: i know that look

sometimes ellery picks flowers on impulse and then realizes she has nowhere to put them so she sticks them into any book she can find nearby but she always winds up forgetting about them and so tl;dr aloth has found dozens of pressed flowers in his grimoire and he’s kept all of them 😌💐

#sometimes during the five year gap he’ll accidentally turn to a flowered page and he’ll go ☺️😕😟 #anyways.txt #x: i know that look #ch: ellery lux
