Hello! This is a page with descriptions and artwork examples of my original characters.
SAIKAL,
KEEPER OF SECRETS
She's a member of the Secret Keeper's guild; Their duty is to travel around the world and document people's secrets.Sharing secrets with the Keeper is considered something good for your mental well-being; thus the history is written. All the secrets are documented in the book of secrets. Later, all the secrets are transferred to the guild's archive.The key can be used as a weapon, but is mostly used to open up portals/summon mounts that can help them to move faster.The bird's name is Lua :)
VALDAMERCA
THE STARCATCHER
In the Paravastora universe she's a goddess of the night. Saikal gets to know her when she starts stealing the secrets from her book and turn them into stars ✨Saikal is determined to know why, so she seeks the oldest Valdamerca's temples and forgotten libraries for the info. At some point, Saikal learns that the reason behind Valdamerca's action is loneliness; she brings more stars to the sky to make it brighter; to eliminate the night (and herself) because she can't deal with being alone there any more. Saikal learns that there has to be the Sun in this sky realm that will accompany Valdamerca. And she learns that she has to become the Sun, apparently. She's willing to do that, but has to figure out how.
TAVI,HERO OF KVATCH
PLAYLISTTavira Salaren, my main character in TES 4 Oblivion and my first OC. I rediscrovered my love for her in 2021 :) She is a dunmer, prefers bow but with time switched to the longsword, not really good at magic. Class - Agent ("Charming when they can be seen and almost invisible when in shadow."). She's stubborn, loves solitude and stray animals, has a shitty sense of humour. Has two scars on the left side of her face.Tavi left Morrowind to travel with the Khajit caravan, where she learned how to play music and sing. In Cyrodiil she was involved in Dark Brotherhood & Main plot line. She really enjoys being an assassin. Later, she became Sheogorath, but managed to escape the Isles by giving the Madgod's mantle to someone else. Once she's got her freedom, she started to travel.Fics with about her and Lucien are here
KARONIS,
THE LAST DRAGONBORN
PLAYLISTKaronis is a bosmer who before the whole dragon crisis worked as a healer. He arrived to Skyrim to study at the College of the Winterhold, but due to all Alduin related stuff happening, has to learn how to fight. It's very frustrating for him, but he feels sympathy towards the Dragons. Uses a one-handed axe + destruction and alteration magic.He enjoys learning new stuff, history, alchemy, he's a good cook and admires nature.Loves to crochet in his spare time! He mostly makes sweaters for Tavi - I have an AU where Tavi managed to escape the Sheogorath's realm and got back to the world of mortals and she decided to help Karonis in his Alduin killing business.
HILDEGARDA
PLAYLISTPre-game events:Hilde's father taught her smithing skills; and she was always interested in arcane arts and the ways she could use it in weapon smithing. She always had poor health, tho, so she joined Malenia's Knights of Rot, and aspired to seek a cure of Scarlet Rot.At some point, Hilde couldn't continue fighting due to progressing sickness, so she focused on weapon smithing only and supplied Malenia's & Miquella's forces with magic weapons and new incantations during the wars of the Shattering; also was working on prosthetics for her former comrades. When Miquella departed for the Haligtree, Hilde was one of the few chosen to be invited to work there, and she was excited about the Haligtree being a safe haven for other weak and sick like her. There, she met Loretta, and they've been working together on combining sorceries and incantations, creating unique spells and weapons. They grew very close and Hilde became very sympathetic towards Albinaurics (at this point I believe that Loretta was an Albinauric). Also, Loretta taught Hilde the basics of sorceries.After the battle of Aeonia and Miquella's disappearance, Hilde became even more disappointed in demigods; her faith started to waver; it led to her losing her ability to cast incantations (since it's tied to Faith). With Miquella's absence, she lost all hope for finding a cure of the scarlet rot, and hearing about Malenia's bloom in Caelid and the whole land being infected with Rot afterwards, destroyed Hilde's morals even more; she got disappointed in Malenia, who she once admired.Since the Haligtree has failed, Hilde decided to find a place for herself elsewhere, and try to travel and see the world while she still can. In these travels, she acquired strange tattoos, her unique hairstyle and lots of strange charms she carried around - because of the stress, she became very superstitious and tried all possible approaches to curing the scarlet rot. Nothing helped, and she died from the affliction somewhere on her travels.Main game events:(a million of years later lol)
When Hilde is reborn as a Tarnished, she realizes that she still can't use incantations any more and has to figure something out. The Scarlet Rot isn't an issue any more, but lack of Faith prevents her from using Halo Scythe and incantations again. All of it leads to her seeking guidance from Rogier, Sellen and Muriel - to study sorceries - and other friendly NPCs to hone her skills with a sword. Iji helps her to come up with a Bloodborne-like trick weapon, which is basically a glintstone version of the Halo Scythe she once used.Hilde is quite phlegmatic in her behaviour, but her main drive is empathy; despite not looking like that, she always strives to help others. When travelling in the Lands Between, she often tries to reason with other characters that attack her, talk to them, avoid the fight; but dying countless times from the hands of people she tried to reason with taught her some cynicism. The fact that almost all characters she has helped die afterwards didn't make things better. Sometimes Hilde gets too narrow-minded or focused on delivering justice. Eventually, she starts to thrive in the thrill of the battle. But still, she strives to claim the Elden Throne to at least try to make the things better in this world. She makes graves for all of her friends that have died to remember what she fights for.She also carries lots of mementos from people who are dear to her; I believe that the Tarnished has the ability to receive memories upon touching certain objects (aka my way to explain us having item descriptions with the lore in game). Each new death makes Hildegarda lose some of her memories from the life before; she's afraid of losing the sense of herself and the recent memories as well, so the trinkets she carries have to ensure that she will recollect at least some of the memories in the case of loss.Seeing Caelid in its cursed state makes Hilde shaken to the core; she makes a promise to try to get rid of the Scarlet Rot in the world once she becomes an Elden Lord. And also do something with Godwyn's corpse, because otherwise the whole world will be covered in deathroot.Seeing the Haligtree in its current state devastates her, but even more damage was dealt by a fight with Loretta, who seemed to lose her mind from the Scarlet Rot. Which kinda increases Hilde's grudge towards Malenia + the whole Millicent quest line adds more insult to injury. Hilde still feels very ashamed for fighting Malenia, and wasn't sure if she deserves to be a follower of Miquella any more. After finding his body in the temple of Mohg, she intends to find out :')DLC and the endingLong story short, she realizes that Miquella is no better than other demigods and after several mental breakdowns, she becomes determined to kill him and Radahn. Somehow (through the stubbornness and persistence) she strikes a deal with Messmer - Hilde needs help with fighting Miquella, and she needs his fire to beat the Outer Gods (especially because the God of Rot is weak to fire. It camn also burn down Godwyn's body, and she wants to burn down the Haligtree as well). Messmer's curse is temporarily stopped with the unalloyed gold needle, and later he gets reborn with Ranni's help and with the use of Rennala's Great Rune of the Unborn. Three of them end up hunting the Outer Gods.Random factsShe's kind, compassionate, and empathethic, soft spoken and secretive. Sometimes gets too judgemental and too blinded by good intensions; Had a huge beef with Leda mostly because Hildegarda hated seeing herself in her.Since there are no Int based scythes in the game, I went with int/dex build + Starlined Sword/Milady and Lusat's Glinstone staff/staff of the Great Beyond.She's afraid of heights and giant rats.Loves soup and taking notes of the things she sees on her journey; the researcher in her never died. Really good at technical drawings.During the Age of Stars, captures the shooting star (Astel looking creature) and rides it as a dragon.Messmer and Hilde started courting officially after his rebirth, but they're so slow and awkward with it, that it took them a lot of time to just kiss. They're both insecure about their bodies (Hilde has scars from the Scarlet Rot) and are awkward with intimacy.
HILDEGARDA
PLAYLISTShe's my good Huntress from Bloodborne of Military Veteran Origin. She was a soldier once, but had to retire because of her illness. Then Hilde focused on weapon smithing and weapon enchanting, but had to abandon it as well because her illness started progressing. It made her travel the world to seek the cure, and eventually she arrived to Yharnam to seek blood ministrations to heal herself. Then the main plot happened. She became a Great One to end the Hunt.During her travels, she picked up a lot of charms and amulets that she tends to wear. Because of her illness, she became very superstitious and all the trinkets calm her down. She's stern but has a kind and compassionate heart and decided to end the Hunt to prevent further suffering no matter the cost.
SAVARI
PLAYLISTSavari Malguran comes from a noble family that is basically a necromancy police: they're all necromancers at some degree (her father is a doctor, her brother is a researcher and artificier, and mom is an archaeologist and an artifact collector; her grandma is a battlemage, and she tried to teach savari that as well) and regulate the use of necromancy in the Gate and prevent people from abusing it. They're all idealists that try to make the city safer.Savari became an investigator of magic related crimes, and she uses her necromancy abilities to talk to killed victims. Her charisma skills come in handy too. She's not such great in battle, but she's good at necromancy, protective spells and diplomacy/insight stuff.
Despite all that and being the protectors of the city of sorts, her family has this typical evil necromancy reputation despite them being the protectors of sorts. People tend to avoid them and Savari didn't make many friends in her magic academy, but her charms are enough to navigate the noble environment.At the beginning of the main quest, she had a bit of a conflict with Halsin and other companions based on her being a necromancer. And in case of Halsin, it went against everything he believes, bc raising undead is unnatural and blahblah. I think that Halsin and other companions warm up a bit when she describes what her family does and that they're basically idealists obsessed on justice. She also struggles with healing spells and any spells that create life basically, so I think a lot of bonding with Halsin happened through that. Plus, since she's a typical fancy city lady, she didn't spend much time in nature, mostly in dungeons hunting for some magic stuff/other necromancers. So, second bonding activity is Halsin showing her cool nature stuff, talking with birds, naming flowers and constellations, etc etc. + talks about unwanted leaderships, the nature of life & death, the balance.At the Myconid colony, Sav asked myconids to teach her some mushroom druid magic as a reward (instead of taking some material goodies and gold) and it was a breakthrough in magic for her bc it's a life magic at some degree, but also has bits of necromancy in it since mushroom grow from dead things.
