Another microfic of mine - this time around about my Hero of Kvatch and three conversations she had with Martin Septim, everyone's beloved Emperor-for-an-hour.
Tiny, angsty and Vestige get's namedropped as HoK's fabled ancestor with ridiculous antics.
What would happen if Sheba and Lanaraume met? (Also I love the way you describe your characters)
Oh, it would be interesting! As a matter of fact they do meet once in the weirder part of Things Crys Did to TES Canon, thanks to Elanor abusing her "Alduin" privileges and fucking with space-and-time continuity.
I think for the most part I can say that Lanaraume (aka Deer) would probably have two major things to say:
On Sheba's side? Mhm. Most likely will just continuously ramble Deer's ears off for hours on end in the classic "I am saying some nonsence, but trust me, in a few centuries it will all make SO MUCH sense" fashion.
The main part will probably be about noting how there are just so many things and so oddly right and wrong at the same time about Deer's existence, this is marvelous. So much potential. Should probably watch out for the Boethiah and maybe go stab her first.
Also what would have if your main characters switched games? Like your Dragonborn character winding up in 3rd era Morrowind, the Vestige having to become the HOK and help Martin during the Oblivion crisis, etc?
Oh, oh, oh! This is such a delicious thought experiment! As it is rather long, I am putting it under the Read More!
So, this is my birthday and if anyone wants to make me a lil birthday gift, I would be most excited to answer any asks about my TES OCs!
List of them goes down below, have fun, I will also probably reblog a few ask games in a moment.
Elder Scrolls Online
- Lanaraume (Deer) - Altmer Dragonknight, Vestige. Big buff lady whose hobby is sticking her nose into every single life-threatening situation possible.
- Chemkhi-La and Chezarjo-Ma - Khajiit siblings from the family of traveling performers.
- Gives-Many-Hugs - the kindest and sweetest Argonian you can find in the Tamriel. Pacifist, healer, everyone's second best pen pal.
- Llaveyne Telvanni - Dunmer mushroom witch, old as dirt, staunchly against slavery, will rather eat glass then recognize Tribunal as anything else then annoying upstarts.
- Galla Illvia - Imperial Dragonknight and the moody teenager of the bunch.
- Philippe Roussel (and his of yet unnamed wife) - Breton-rised Orc working as an accountant and personal assistant to a passionate historian.
- Autaracu Alata - Meridian Purified Ayleid artist-turned-sorceress from the Galras Malatar. CEO of King Narilmor's secret fan club.
Oblivion + Morrowind
- Sheba - not the Hero Kvatch deserves or needs, but the one it will get. Altmer Mage with a penchant for unorthodox solutions to nonexistent problems. Anti-Talos before it was hip.
- Yeoba - Sheba's sister who might or might not have been Nerevarine. Ended up in prison because stealing everything not bolted down is generally frowned upon in society.
Skyrim
- Elanor - Altmer-shaped artificial vessel for the dragon soul, part-time natural disaster, full-time eldritch annoyance, officially employed as the Emissary in the Skyrim branch of Thalmor.
- Asgeld - ex-Stormcloak and genuinely a pretty good guy! Just a normal dude doing normal things and living through the drama caused by everyone around.
- Cassia Illvia (and Wraith) - Asgeld's half-sister (and her daedra), in the employment of Captain Valmir as his ambiguously evil henchman and loyal scribe.
- Unnamed Greybeard Acolyte - yet another generally good person, whose life was more or less indirectly ruined by Elanor existing. Very strongly opposed to her being trained and over the events of Dragon Crysis stood in opposition to the rise of the person, whom he saw only as the new Alduin. And was quite right.
Sheba. Not the Hero Kvatch needs and certainly not the one Kvatch deserves. But sometimes you need to work with what you have. Sometimes what you have is a slightly unhinged altmer mage.
Fun fact about Sheba - she was born under the Atronach sign, so her magic is “frozen”, which resulted in her both being good at alchemy to make potions - and in her burying shards of welkynd stones in her own flesh to absorb energy through them. It kinda worked, but not perfectly.
Talk about an oc!! Any you wanna talk about go for it!!
So, for you, dear Anon, as well as for @sashetha - a little introduction to the background of Sheba and Yeoba! Russian-speaking readers will probably recognize Yeoba's name as a meme, and I am frankly fine with it being like this. She can be a meme, she is a meme.
With this being said - proceed under the Read More to learn more about their misadventures.
Thinking about Sheba, my Hero of Kvatch and yet another problematic altmer in the long line of variously problematic altmers.
Specifically how when presented with the conundrum of getting divine blood for Martin and Jauffre suggests going to get Tiber Septim's armour, she would just refuse. No. Not an option.
And proceeds to stubbornly run into a whole set of unneeded hurdles, including getting in cahoots with undeniably evil deity of necromancy and stealing multiple magic artifacts.
All to prove a point that she can do it and she can do it without any of your Talos stuff. Yes, in the middle of a time-sensitive apocalyptic event. It is always stubborn pride o'clock.
dunmer-style artwork of @crysdrawsthings‘s HoK as Sheogorath for an art trade! halo idea inspired by Sheo being one of the Four Corners of the House of Troubles. hope u enjoy, fren!
The public must know, 14.
Who kisses the hardest?
I am still a bit confused about how I am supposed to answer, but let’s try to guess?
1) Sheo!HoK Sheba and Mannimarco - I suppose Sheba2) Skyrim OC Cassia and Valmir - they still have yet to get to this part. But Valmir maybe? 3) Skyrim OC Puppy and Elenwen - unsure. Puppy definitely tries to hug her often.4) LDB Elanor and Ancano - I would say Elanor5) Nerevarine Yeoba and Voryn Dagoth\Dagoth Ur - honestly I see both as kinda awkward nerds, so probably neither6) Vestige Deer and Naemon - Deer, I would say.
5, 14, 23 and 26 for Sheba and her worm husband?
Thanks for an ask!
5. Who is most likely to carry the other?
Well, Sheba is certainly able to carry him around like an angry sack of.. worms he is. Not that he seems to be a particularly heavy burden in means of weight, but she is also really strong.Because laws of physics? Boring.Moreover, she is certainly willing to annoy the hell of him by doing it, so Sheba is more likely to carry Worm around.Worm is highly likely to be pissed off about it.
14. Who kisses the hardest?
Probably Sheba.But honestly never thought about it.
23. Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines?
Sheba seems to me to be a… more likely option.Although I feel that in both cases it would be more weird pick up lines than anything else.
26. What would be their theme song?
Already answered in previous post!
Hi! For the OTP ask meme, 26 for Elanor/Ancano and for Sheba/Mannimarco, and the nickname one for Elanor/Ancano please :)
26. What would be their theme song?
Sheba and Mannimarco? Definitely opening song from Pinky and the Brain. I mean, I am still begging Universe that somehow I will get a fix based on a good family tradition of trying to take over the Nirn every weekend, so, well.
Before each night is done Their plan will be unfurled By the dawning of the sun They’ll take over the world.
As for Elanor and Ancano?
I have no idea, really.Sing for Me from DOS II?No relation to like, meaning of the song in game or lore, I just like the tine and vibes, I guess.
Sway with me, we’ll make them screamDance with me, we’ll make them bleedSing for me, I’ll sing alongSing for me, oh sing for me
8. Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate?
Nothing particular I can think of, aside from Elanor’s general thing to shorten names.Because she is both likes to see how annoyed her colleagues can be when she does it, and because she too lazy to spell the whole things. That can be ridiculously long.
As for Ancano, I guess he doesn’t have anything for her either.I mean, he probably uses some elaborate altmer version of “you, walking disaster” as a term of endearment, but, nothing specific I can think of, I guess.
What’s this, TWO artposts in a day??? That’s right. I drew the gorgeous Sheba for @crysdrawsthings as part of a mini-trade <3 Thank you again for doing this with me, getting to draw your beautiful banana made me very happy!!
!!! Just look at this amazing Scooma Cat! This is just so purrfect I think I am gonna cry. I just love it so much! Looks just like she should look like. This funky eldritch baby.
👑 which muse is most likely to take over the world
Thanks for an ask and holy-raviolli, tough choice again!
Okay, so, I can say that Puppy, Cassia, Wraith and Asgeld are the least likely to.I mean, it could possibly happen on some crazy scenario, but generally? They have other things to do, they are far insignificant power on a bigger scale and they are just, I can’t see them being interested in it.
Sheba is an interesting question. Given that we are speaking (as usual) about her already assuming the role of Sheogorath - she has pretty much enough power to attempt a thing, but also i feel like she is hardly truly interested in a thing. Messing things here and there - yes, toying with pesky mortals yes, taking over the whole world? Less likely. More of a Worm thing to try.
Yeoba? Well, personally she I guess would be indifferent on subject, but her “Nerever” side? Probably interested up to some extent? As for ability, I guess, messing with the Heart, befriending the ultimate goth bf and having a giant reality-altering battle robot and Sixth House at their disposal gives them… pretty much of a leverage to pull the thing.
Elanor is honestly a solid call for a “most likely”.Thalmor Emissary of the Third Aldmeri Dominon, The Last Dovahkiin, with a deific ancestry with all weird, terrific and uncanny forces at her disposal, I mean, what more do you need?Well, maybe her not being a laid-back dumbass with a attention span of a drunk mudcrab.But given that she will be able to focus on a task - I bet she can do it. For herself and only for herself or as an Emissary of Dominion - is a different question, but in any case a very strong contestant.
But so is Deer. Another altmer with a thing for dragons, but this time from the First Aldmeri Dominion.And honestly I would say that she is the one I will give my vote for.I mean, yes, she has no deific parents or world-altering battle robots or something like this, aside from being a more than two meters tall and build like a brick wall dragon-knight with something weird in place of a soul, which is, I guess, also not a bad start, but she is like.Will kill, die, get up from a grave to kill a lot more and go throw hands with literal gods for the Dominion in general and quite long list of people from it specifically. Also was so pissed off once that she fulfilled a dream of many and many people of Tamriel by punching Molag Bal in the face multiple time. Yeah, there was an Amulet involved, but who cares, she will for it again without it if needed.And will probably success, because here we have one crazy and really determined banana.So maybe not singlehandedly and for herself, but let her loose with a proper order and she will do it. You go, you crazy binch. Don’t forget to dropkick Hjalti on you way.
Ok this is more about how you deal with the Mannimarco thing, but if Deer is your vestige (so dealing with worm man in eso) does Sheba then know about Deer in a sense of what Mannimarco did in the second Era? Also with Molag Bal? Whats Shebas general pov on this whole thing? And what does Deer think of the Worm?
Is there anything you don’t understand about my muse?
❓ Go ahead and ask.
Well, you see, it again, as with Murder Puppy, started as a joke x)But then I decided to make it official because it seemed too funny for me to drop.So, I never really worked out the proper explanation, sadly.
Going from the easiest: what does Deer think of the Worm? Well, he has his rightfully earned place in her “Punch in the jaw” list. But place not as high as you may think, I mean, she already killed him once, so it eased things a bit. Even if only a bit. I guess she kind of ready to accept the fact of his existence as long as he is just yelling about skeletons or something and not wrecking shit in the most unholy fashion. Which is hard for him, because he apparently has a penchant for wrecking shit in the most unholy fashion.Anyway, I say that family gathering would be very tense and awkward, given their… past experiences.
As for does Sheba knew about events surrounding Planemeld while being mortal? Well, i guess up to some extent she knew. I mean, the general facts and so on. Honestly saying, I have my share of trouble with trying to process all his chronology and time gaps between games and certain events in Tamriel history. And well, it’s general chronology, but I guess there was enough of a time gap for her to have only some portion of facts.Like, she probably knows that some of her ancestors took part in preventing the Planemeld from succeeding, but the whole thing about Deer personally punching Bal in the face with the aid of gods and anime on her side is probably some weird family legend at best.
As for her personal view? Well, I guess it would safe to assume that she wasn’t happy about some nasty worm dude making all this mess. It doesn’t explain how she ends with nasty worm dude, but I am afraid it is generally hard to make sense of her actions at this point.
I hope all of it makes sense. I really hope.But as I said, i never really though about explaining any of these to my shame.
So, I was a bit bored today and had an idea, related to my TES OCs. Since I roughly have seven main ones now - them as typed into Seven Deadly Sins, if it makes sense. Because none of them is free of sin, but what exact ones for the most part (in my opinion at least, feel free to share your mind!) you can find under the cut. I can even make a serious of artworks out of it.
TES OC November - Day 12
An OC with one of the coolest designs I’ve seen, Auntie Sheba of @crysdrawsthings , wife of the worm. Really deserves some fanart. (Have I mentioned her design looks cool already?)
Maybe sketch Sheba before she took on the mantle of mad god? When she was a regular Altmer?
With pleasure!I have no fixed design for mortal Sheba now, sadly, but I think it was a step in the right direction.
One salty banana, that would more likely go to collect half a dozen daedric artifacts, convince a literal deity of necromancy to help and slap Umaril to death with a shoe, than accept help even remotely related to Pelinal or Talos. She has standards after all.
