My heart is a wine cellar, Full of bottled-up emotions, I am regret,
Time has no effect on me, I do not wither, nor does my skill, I am regret,
I am humble yet deadly, Magic prevents death from touching me, I am regret,
I have made many mistakes, Boethiah stole my peace and sight, I am regret,
I hunt for redemption, The years slip by as I search, I am regret,
a friend of mine wrote this poem about laraniel and i thought you might like to see it buuuuuuut tumblr wont let me include links in asks and you dont seem to have a submission page... but uh if youre interested its called i am regret by smallredrobin13 and its on ao3 you should check it out i think youd like it
Oooh! :o I found it eventually after quite a bit of browsing, very bittersweet and appropriate for this character. Thanks for sharing! I don’t think I would’ve come across this one otherwise.
I was supposed to work on some actual artwork today, but somehow I ended up filling this Very Important alignment chart instead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What would your original characters look like in the Overwatch World?
Ooh, crossover time! I went for my Skyrim characters since those were the easiest to come up with and also because this turned out long enough as it is. My original intention was to do just some armor mashups, but I waded a bit too deep into the “what if” territory, and now my guys also have rough skillsets to go with the outfits.
Disclaimer: these have nothing to do with game balance or viability, I just felt like they could fit these particular characters… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯So, here goes:
Skaila the Dragonborn aka “what if Reinhardt had a massive battleaxe and could also shout you down?” Heavy armor to compensate for the fact that she decided to bring an axe to a gun fight. Sturdy and shouty, but nomovement abilities.
Type: Melee
Role: Offense
Weapon & Abilities:
Ultimate:
Passives:
Bron the Ultimate Thief aka “the unholy mix of Hanzo and Sombra that will steal your ultimate and probably ruin the match for both teams”. Low health, high annoyance.
Type: Ranged
Role: Defense
Weapon & Abilities:
Ultimate:
Passives:
Laraniel the Seer aka “it’s not magic, it’s just, uh, really advanced science - I promise“. Jack of many trades, but mostly focused on restoration/alteration/illusion.
Type: Ranged/Beam
Role: Support
Weapon & Abilities:
Ultimate:
Passives:
___
EDIT: Altered Laraniel’s would-be ultimate to make it a better fit for the seer theme
Character themed decks hardly ever work, but that doesn’t stop me from trying to make them :P
How do you pronounce Laraniel's name? I've always said it La-ray-nee-el
I think that’s a nice pronunciation, too, but personally (since I’m Finnish) I tend to say it with more of a ‘rah’ sound instead of ‘ray’. I imagine some close friends of hers would sometimes just call her Lara (’lar-ah’ as in car, tar, bar etc.)for short.
What birthsign is Zaraste born under?
I’ve considered changing things up a bit. I’ve tried to come up with matching birthsigns/zociac signs for my characters (some fit better than others), and recently I’ve been thinking about switching Laraniel’s birthday to Zaraste’s. So, in that case it would be The Mage/Taurus for Zaraste and The Ritual/Capricorn for Laraniel.
Since you have a High Elf character in TESO now, is there any relation to Laraniel like there is with Davius and Brenna and Bron?
There could be! I haven’t decided what Zaraste’s story is going to be like yet, but it is one possibility. :)
@paksenarrion-reader replied to your post “Have you played Left 4 Dead 1/2? I wonder how the ES squad would act...”
Laraniel: "but what could be causing this?" Noelie: "idk they all smell the same when I set them on fire" Skaila: "now THIS is my kind of mage"
That is 100% how it would go
Please enjoy these atrocities >:)
Merry Christmas y’all!
commission: Laraniel for @isriana
fancy mer is fancy! Laraniel is really pretty and I love the dress you designed for her, so I drew her wearing it. I hope that I did her justice (｡･ω･｡)
Aaaaah! ♥ She looks amazing! Oh, and I absolutely love that you picked that dress for her - that’s such a lovely rendition. Thank you ever so much! I couldn’t have hoped for a better start for this week :D
I took this a bit further than I originally intended, so here are all my TES characters as trainers - and the pokémon they would most likely have. Ignore the extra non-first gen Chimchar. It’s there just because it reminds me of the imgakin monkey pet Noelie has. For now the team distribution is the following: three for Valor, three for Instinct and two for Mystic.
This became more of a what-if-they-switched-places-entirely-for-a-day -thing, but anyway… I don’t think they’d do very well in their new roles. :P (I don’t have a computer just now so here are some doodles made possible by pencils, markers, and my phone’s very limited editing capabilities)
Which town/city is each of your TES characters from? (Towns that have yet to appear in a TES game are fine too) I'm not sure if you answered this already
May I suggest "The Old Ways" by Loreena McKennitt for Laraniel? (or possibly Varaniel.) It always makes me think of her, anyway.
*internal screaming* I can’t believe that I’ve heard this song for so many times over the years, and this possibly the first time I’m paying attention to the lyrics. It is perfect thank you so much !!
