User:Ingura/Daedric Musings/Character Profiles

A thoroughly put-together list of all of Ingura's pawns in The Elder Scrolls Online, including their backstories, classes, and character roles.

Content in the Daedric Musings page may call upon certain characters: having all the character profiles located here streamlines the linking process, when necessary for clarity's sake.

Primary Characters

Ptaiaa Dövi-Taal
"Need a hand, Traveller?"
Race	Argonian	Gender	Unknown
Faction(s)	Ebonheart Pact, Psijic Order
Role	Healer, Jack-of-All-Trades
Playstyle	Mid-Range Bruiser

---

Ptaiaa Dövi-Taal is an Argonian Nightblade hybrid healer who formerly hailed under the flag of the Dominion, but has since joined under the flag of the Pact after feeling a need to return to their roots in their age.

Born away from the Hist, in Greenshade, Ptaiaa got the attention of the cunning Razum-dar, who trained them to become an Eye of the Queen. Holding great allegiance for Queen Ayrenn, they did things to further the goals of the Dominion— but at the cost of seeing their own people get slaughtered at the hands of their superiors. They were able to claim housing nearby Longhaven due to their undying loyalty, but after a while Ptaiaa started to feel... un-whole. This un-wholeness would soon be equated to their disconnect from the Hist.

When they became one of Brackenleaf's Briars, the Argonian saw their alignment with the Snake as an omen: although the Snake struck down Wolves with great fervor, a Tiger's fierceness is able to dispatch them quickly. A swap in allegiance did not come easily, however— it caused identity issues that led to a lot of frustration. Their path became shadowed, and they started to embrace the chaos when it wore a familiar face.

Ultimately, Ptaiaa believed that, to beat the Tiger, they must become the Wolf themselves. This only made their identity issues worse, and succumbed to a violence they still regret to this day. One positive thing came from it, however: they were forcibly discharged from the Dominion. Persuasion kept Razum-dar a friend to them, and Intimidation allowed them to keep their home. A lot of behavior had to be unlearned, but once they swapped Allegiance and moved to Shadowfen, they reconciled with the Hist. Ptaiaa swears to never strike an Argonian ever again, unless survival depends on it.

Ptaiaa "attempting fire magic"

Currently, Ptaiaa finds a lot of joy in The Mages Guild, obtaining large troves of knowledge and literature at their disposal, and within The Antiquarian Circle, unearthing artefacts for similar thirsts. They've learned many Crafts as well, and spend many of their days collecting resources for Writs. When a less sedentary way of life itches their scales, however, they delve into Dungeons to support those in need, and find unsightly bits of knowledge untold by many a tome.

Ptaiaa is my first character, and primary character for a large majority of things that I do— photography, questing, you name it. A large majority of my focus on this character is completionism. This means Lore Books, Achievements, and Traits. I am working on getting all Cloth and Wood Traits Researched on them; I'm currently doing Blacksmith traits as well, because I like straining for Skill Points. Once I get my Blacksmither up to par, I'll need to do the whole process over again... but at least I have all Training (but one) researched on this character so I don't have to hunt for pieces.

M'aliq Silver-Moons
"This one lends you his blade."
Race	Khajiit	Gender	Male
Faction(s)	Aldmeri Dominion, Fighters Guild

---

M'aliq Silver-Moons is a Khajiit Warden tank who currently hails under the flag of the Dominion, and is both a friend and former ally of Ptaiaa.

M'aliq doing something cool

In his downtime, M'aliq spends most of his days at the Forge, crafting weapons and armor to those who call for his commission. He also dabbles in Jewelry Crafting as a side hobby, as he is told by both his partner and companions alike that he needs a more... gentle approach to things. Due to this Khajiit's spiritual beliefs, he abstains from alcohol, and prefers to eat meat dishes to satiate his appetite for carnage.

M'aliq is my second character (unfortunately made a second time due to getting timed out in character creation). Initially, he was going to be my secondary character, but I got more invested on Ptaiaa and left him in the dirt. I didn't even get him to Level 15 before his 'foil' (also a Khajiit, and of course a Nightblade) hit roughly 2 times his level. Definitely need to play the class more cuz Warden's early feels... bad. Doesn't help that Ptaiaa's a weird 'tank' build, either. M'aliq is my dedicated metalworker— Blacksmith and Jewelry maker. He is currently camping in Summerset with an inventory full of ores.

Naevius Indoril
"What is it that you require?"
Race	Dunmer	Gender	Unknown
Faction(s)	Ebonheart Pact, Mages Guild

---

Naevius Indoril is a Dunmer Daedric Sorcerer who currently hails under the flag of the Pact due to social ties and ease of entrepreneurship; if they had the choice, however, they would rather stay unaligned.

Despite their surname, Naevius didn't adopt the House Indoril name by trials, membership, or any other method that required effort. Instead, they adopted the name through heredity. Though this House isn't known for either slavery or overt bigotry, and the traditionalist lifestyle has its comforts, Naevius doesn't understand their unquestioning loyalty towards the Tribunal and feels detached from it. This isn't to say they aren't religious— after all, they worship the very Daedra that drove them down the path of sorcery.

Naevius in complete concentration

Naevius finds combat to be quite boring, and spends most of their time at the Apothecary, making potions and poisons for those who find a delight in life-or-death situations. As they find "the exploitation of unconsenting individuals" despicable amongst "those who have rational thought", this Dunmer rejects any food or drink that directly takes from animals— honey included. As they see bones and hides as by-product items from fearsome beasts, however, they do not mind using them. Suffice to say, they don't like gathering their own materials.

Naevius is my 'rebellious teen' archetype character, made fourth (after my Orc Nuvensha). Their whole character is supposed to look and act like an edge-lord: somewhat self-important and hyper-critical on anything that seems irrational. Of the three Good Daedra, Naevius chose Mephala due to her association with knowledge and purposefulness. Boethiah would have been their choice of Daedra, but she's associated with deception and violence. This is my token Alchemist— in the character-weave, they and Ptaiaa are acquaintenced because the Argonian provides materials to them.

Secondary Characters

Dra'nube the Swift
250px "What can Dra'nube do for you?"
Race	Khajiit	Gender	Female
Faction(s)	Aldmeri Dominion, Fighters Guild

---

Dra'nube the Swift is a Khajiiti Nightblade of the Whispering Fang who currently hails under the flag of the Dominion.

File:User-Ingura-Pawn-Dra'nube.jpg

Dra'nube relaxing

At the moment, Dra'nube has been tasked by the Fighters Guild to wipe out the never-ending outcrops of Dark Anchors throughout the world. As she grows in age, Dra'nube becomes less conscious about eating healthy, and prefers to indulge in meats and confectioneries. To the amusement of many in her squadron, she has an acute allergy to seafood, however.

Dra'nube, at the moment, is my Dolmen grinder; in the character weave, she is a former ally of Ptaiaa's and the role model of M'aliq. As implied, she is M'aliq's foil— whereas M'aliq is abrasive, Dra'nube is gentle. This becomes particularly interesting when you take into account the amount of hits, robberies, and investigations that the elder Khajiit has done in her name, and hers alone. If I ever get into Alliance War stuff with serious intent, she will be my main (alongside my chaotic Saxhleel Mejo-tok), because Ptaiaa has so many Crafting-related skill allocations that they may suffer horribly in Cyrodiil.

Nuvensha gro-Bal the Dawn
250px "Mauloch's gaze, you've startled me."
Race	Orc	Gender	Female
Faction(s)	Daggerfall Covenant

---

Nuvensha gro-Bal the Dawn is an Orsimer Templar who has a passing allegiance to the Covenant, but doesn't feel completely united with its cause; this is largely because of her partner: a Nord who is allied with the Pact, but that she loves greatly. Deep inside, she wishes the Alliance War didn't exist, as she fears the day that her spouse leaves home for the last time.

File:User-Ingura-Pawn-Nuvensha.jpg

Nuvensha invested in runecrafts

For the moment, Nuvensha is enjoying the comforts of living in Solitude with her Nordic spouse, researching the power of Runes and Enchantments.

Nuvensha is my designated Enchanter, who was my third character made. In the character-weave, Ptaiaa provides her with Runestones. At the moment, I am battling over whether I want to have Ptaiaa allocate all skill points away from Crafting skills just so I have more skills to use to make them a better Support character.

Axillary Characters

Atifa Najjar
250px "We were expecting your return."
Race	Redguard	Gender	Female
Faction(s)	Daggerfall Covenant

---

Atifa Najjar is a Redguard Dragonknight whose allegiance to the Covenant only lies within her homeland of the Alik'r. She is disinterested in conquest and War, but wants to make sure that her homeland is safe from any invaders.

Atifa relaxing at home

When not functioning as a guard, Atifa likes to relax at home with a book. She has attempted other hobbies, such as Fishing, but prefers the relaxation associated with indulging oneself in literature. She also collects the odd bauble and whatnot on her adventures, and puts them in a display case as a visual reminder of them.

Atifa, to put it simply, is a character made to look attractive in accordance to my tastes, and functions as a storage mule of Style Materials until I get chests for that explicit purpose. She was made fifth, and was intended to be used as a co-op character with a friend— said friend, however, is interested in a different MMO at the moment. In the future, I plan to get her involved with Ptaiaa's backstory, more specifically in the Alik'r Desert.

Mejo-Tok Cactus-Tail
250px "Need something?"
Race	Argonian	Gender	Chaotic
Faction(s)	Ebonheart Pact

---

Mejo-Tok Cactus-Tail is an Argonian Dragonknight who is fully invested in the Alliance War and pledges his entire being on the Pact's success in it. Overly hyperactive and with a one-tracked mind, the Argonian will listen to any order with the word "kill" in it, but skimp out on all of the details.

[This character profile is a stub and will eventually be filled as they get additional playtime.]

File:User-Ingura-Pawn-Mejo-Tok.jpg

Mejo-Tok being a murder-hobo

At the moment, Mejo-Tok is collecting his comrades' gear and keeping them safe. He would rather be killing things, but he was told that he can kill whomever gets close to their stuff— that is, if anyone wants to chance it with him.

why are both of my dragonknights storage mules? Mejo-Tok is my seventh character made, because Dragonknight looks cool (despite me not playing it at all). He is visually based on my late Leopard Gecko, both in appearance and in name ("Mejotok" is a bastardization of "meyotoc", which in Nahuatl means "planted in agave plants"— the plant was said gecko's name). If I get the Brotherhood DLC, he's going to be the character who uses it near-exclusively, because … well … murder? Said gecko wasn't murderous, by the way: just a fast runner who wouldn't eat anything unless it was moving.
