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

Tending The Flames, part 1

The Burning of King Olaf was days away and Endurys was beginning to panic. When he agreed to retrieve the verse, he assumed it was in some noble's private collection or in the library of some other institution. The last thing he expected when he rode out to the location Headmaster Viarmo gave him, was a Nordic crypt. Endurys didn't even bother going inside, he knew it was a death trap. Instead he took his horse back to Solitude and avoided the headmaster while he weighed his options.

The first person that popped into his head was Jaree-Ra, but, Endurys thought to himself, not even I'm stupid enough to associate with that. Then he thought of the mercenary at the Winking Skeever, Beirand or Belrand or something like that. No, mercenaries are too expensive, I'd have to hire him myself. He amused himself for a moment, however, with the thought of using school funds to hire a sellsword. Then he thought of Professor Inge's face when she saw the expense on the ledger, and what she'd do to him for draining their coffers, and the amusement passed.

Endurys sat on the college steps, exhausted and saddened, thinking of how his failure would mean that the festival couldn't go on, and the entire school would be let down. He was nearing a fit of despair when he heard them coming down the road from the Blue Palace. Two women, a Bosmer and an Orc, strangers to Solitude and adventurers who, in their short time in the city, had already lent their blades and magics to the Jarl, or so he had heard. An idea struck him in an instant and he took off up the road towards them.

They stopped in their tracks when they realized he was running towards them, and he just barely stopped before them without toppling over. Endurys stood panting for a moment, trying to catch his breath under the gaze of the women. His eyes darted between them, a difficult task given the Bosmer was significantly shorter than him and the Orc significantly taller. But they were both so beautiful and intimidating that, for the first time in his life, he found himself at a loss for words when his breath evened out.

"Um," the Bosmer cut through the awkward silence as the three stared at each other, "can... can we help you?"

Endurys finally regained himself and bowed humbly before them. "Forgive me, my ladies, but would I be correct in my assumption that you're adventurers?" He peaked up at them but maintained his bow as he continued, "Rumor has it you cleared the animals from Wolfskull Cave for the Jarl."

"Animals seems a bit harsh," the Orc said, surprisingly soft-spoken, "They were only necromancers."

"Necromancers!" Endurys straightened and clapped his hands together, "Wonderful! Just wonderful! I'm afraid I've been dreadfully rude. I am Endurys Hlaalu, scholar of the Bards College, and I need your help delving into a tomb."

#I was not planning on making this in parts but this is all i can manage for now #here's how endurys met and joined aneis and murza!#this was my first time writing from his perspective! it was quite fun!#my writing #oc: endurys #oc: murza #oc: aneis

It's @nerevar-quote-and-star! I'd like to request 10: Discovery from the prompt list!

prompt list

There weren't many changes to the college between the leadership of Arch-Mage Aren and Arch-Mage gra-Largashbur. Everything functioned nearly exactly the same, and the new Arch-Mage took as little interest in the day to day runnings of the college as her predecessor had, both delegating such responsibilities to their respective Master Wizards. The main difference between them is that while Savos preferred using the time he spent not running his school to simply lock himself up in his quarters doing Shalidor knows what, Murza was a bit more restless. She spent her time away from the college, adventuring with the Dragonborn. No one would ever complain of this, it simply made preforming their ethically questionable experiments easier knowing their boss was at the very least, not on the premises.

Faralda, like the rest of her colleagues, would never be one to complain about the changes in leadership. She was still able to carry out her studies in peace, give her lectures in the Hall of Elements, and, her favorite activity, sit at the end of the bridge and test the aptitude of potential students.

Wards were put up at the foot of the bridge most days of the week to keep out the unprepared and the occasional angry Winterholder (usually the Jarl in a drunken rage) coming to blame them for the decline of their once great city. But every Tirdas, the wards would come down, and would be replaced by one Altmer, ready to test the young would-be wizards (those arriving any other day of the week would have to put themselves up at The Frozen Hearth) and scare off the locals. This was her favorite day of the week. She found the cold a refreshing change from the stuffiness of the school, and since attendance had waned as of late, the solitude was much welcome. Being able to sit alone with her thoughts was what lead to some of her greatest breakthroughs.

One such Tirdas, in the summer just after Murza had taken up her position, Faralda set out for this solitude early in the morning. She reached the end of the bridge and began the process of taking down the smokey, glass like ward when she noticed a hazy figure on the other side near the bottom of the stairs. She groaned, her expectations of a quiet morning shattered as she mentally prepared her monolog for the prospective student.

But as the ward came down and the figure came clearly into view, she realized he was much closer, and much smaller, than she had expected. A small child stood on the top step, his ginger hair wild and face ruddy and wind buffed. His clothes were a bit too warm for the season and had definitely seen better days. He was wrapped in a wolf skin like a cloak. How long had he been out here? He stared up at her, head knocked all the way back to take in the tall elf, with big brown eyes and a curious face.

Who is leaving their children here? Faralda thought as she looked back down at him, He can't be the Jarl's boy, he looks as if he's barely seen three winters.

"Where is your mother, boy?" She asked. That should be a good place to start.

But instead of an answer, Faralda only received a sniffle and eyes that began to turn glassy. Oh gods, oh shit, don't make the kid cry, don't make the kid cry! She dropped to her knees to make herself less imposing, and softened her voice, "Hey now, it's alright. What's your name?"

"Um, d-dee... dir..." He sniffed and stuttered and slured his way through an answer, not seeming to know how to pronounce his own name just yet.

"Hmm, how about I call you Dire, yeah? Is that alright?" He nodded in approval. "Alright Dire, do you know where your mother is?" The tears began to fall from his face as he looked behind him, out into the town, then back to Faralda to shake his head no.

"Oh dear, I'm sorry," she moved to wipe the tears from his face. His cheeks were cold. "How long have you been out here, Dire?"

"Um, s-since... since dark," he kept his answers short through his tears.

"Since night? Did you sleep out here?" He shook his head, but continued to cry. This is getting no where. I didn't become a wizard to comfort crying children. His mother's probably staying at the Hearth and he just slipped away in the night to see the big building at the back of town. Just calm him down so you can bring him back.

Faralda moved to pet his wild windswept head, but when her hand made contact with the crown of his head she felt two hard, sharp protrusions from his skull. Her brow furrowed and while making like she was still trying to sooth him, she brushed his hair away from the area to see two small horns beginning to poke their way through. Oh shit, she thought. Faralda was not particularly skilled in conjuration but luckily she knew someone who was. Phinis has to see this.

She tried her best to keep her tone even to not scare off the boy, or whatever he was, "Are you cold, Dire? Hungry? Why don't you come with me and meet my friends?"

Okay, fuck it, character profiles for my minor OCs

When Aneis was growing up in Valenwood, she lived with her large family, known as Clan Sagefen, or the House of Sagefen. They were a family of Hircine devotees and lived away from, but not completely outside of, most of Bosmer society because of this. As they were not devoted to Y'ffre, they did not follow the meat mandate of the Green Pact, or really any part of it that wasn't enforced by law. On the 20th of Hearthfire, 4E 175, the entire clan was assassinated by the Thalmor as it was found they were working with the resistance, save Aneis, who was away on her first solo hunt at the time, and fled Valenwood upon finding her family dead. The people she lived with at the time of their death were as follows

Casan Sagefen: Grandmother of Aneis. Priestess of Hircine. Born in 3E 209, died in Thalmor assassination in 4E 175, age 399.

Braiel Sagefen: Father of Aneis, son of Casan and Thadoren. Hunter and priest of Hircine. Born in 3E 400. Fought in the Great War for the Dominion, but defected and returned to Valenwood to join the resistance. Died in Thalmor assassination, age 208.

Araneth Sagefen, no maiden name: Mother of Aneis, wife of Braiel. Apothecary, and has no strong opinion on religion but supports her husband's family regardless. Born in 3E 401, orphaned and raised as a servant in the home of an Altmer diplomat. Died in Thalmor assassination, age 207.

Andion Sagefen: Aunt of Aneis, daughter of Casan and Thadoren. Butcher and Hircine devotee. Born in 3E 421 and died in Thalmor assassination, age 187.

Taon Sagefen, maiden name Pinehallow: Uncle of Aneis, married to Andion. Tanner and Hircine devotee. Born in 3E 429, died in Thalmor assassination, age 179.

Falmon and Erunia Sagefen: Twins, siblings of Aneis. Born 4E 170 and died in Thalmor assassination, both aged 5.

Elris Sagefen: Cousin of Aneis, son of Andion and Taon. Born 4E 175 and died in Thalmor assassination, aged only 8 months (yes I know he looks much older in the picrew, it's the best I could do).

The only other surviving Sagefen was her grandfather, though she never knew this as she never met him.

Thadoren Sagefen, maiden name Roserock: Grandfather of Aneis, husband of Casan. Hunter and Hircine devotee. Born in 3E 219, became the Hero of Kvatch and lives on as Sheogorath to this day. (That's all I've got for him now, I haven't played Oblivion yet but I know for a fact I need my HoK to be Aneis' grandfather. Feel free to ask me why wink wink)

Aneis also had two children with her husband, Teldryn Sero, and aside from Dire, one other nephew from Murza and Endurys

Cinuri Sero: Aneis and Teldryn's first child, born 9th of Hearthfire, 4E 212. Her name means "little raven" in Dunmeris as she was born in Raven Rock. As an adult she travels with Dire, going on adventures with him as a spellsword, like her father.

Braiel Sero: Aneis and Teldryn's second child, born 26th of Sun's Dawn, 4E 216. He was named after Aneis' late father, who she was very close to growing up. He also travels with Dire as an adult, though he took after his mother and became an archer.

Hab Gro-Murza: Murza and Endurys' second son, though their first biological child. Born 1st of First Seed, 4E 420, he is the last of what I call the Second Generation of Team Dragonborn. Endurys insisted he be given an Orsimer name to distance his child from House Hlaalu and the bad reputation the name carries. He also travels with his brother and cousins, as the largest physically of the party (no one ever believes he's the youngest) it only makes sense his weapon of choice is a two handed battleaxe (ignore the swords in the picrew, again just working with what I got).

@boethiahsboytoy I know how much you like all my character building stuff

also look out, I may be posing my Hero Forges of Team Dragonborn Gen 2 soon :3
