Description Just decided one night that I was going to warm up by drawing an old character of mine, and then it turned out I couldn't stop XD

This is my Dunmeri character in Morrowind--a Zainab Ashlander and an ex-Tong that so far has stuck to banditry and keeping shady deals with House Dres. As you can see I just find excuses to draw Dunmer all the tieem eue~

Done on Paint Tool SAI.

Ooooh what an awesome Dunmer ! I can say too I love when you draw Dunmer, so please... continue ^^Β  His eyes are so intense... he is perfect. And he seems to have an interessing background... when a character please me, I always ask if there is a story, fanfiction, etc... about them. He has worked for the great Morag Tong ? As an assasin ?

Ahh thank you so much! And no worries, I don't plan on stopping!Β 


As for a litttle summary, well...I tried my hardest to whip up a short one!


Being an Ashlander (Zainab), he never did and never had believed in the Tribunal, but he has a rather unwavering respect for what is now known as the three Reclamations (Mephala, Boethiah, Azura).Β Nherei was commonly known in his tribe as the wisewoman's son, and his birth name was Nherei Sonnerralit, born under the sign of the Serpent. Like his mother, he was born with the gift of divination, but unlike her, Nherei rejected the gift after being particularly frightened of a vision with snakes, and for the most part, he thinks his visions are hallucinations are from mental illness. He willingly represses these visions by sleeping very little and hoping Skooma will put him into a deep enough stupor, but it's only made things worse. Either way, he's addicted now, and he's stuck with strange visions/hallucinations. D:Β 


But during a good portion of his life, he definitely did work as an assassin, and up until the Argonian Invasion, did his job wonderfully and dutifully. It was during his time in the Tong that he caught Lycanthropy, however, and that in itself further affected his sleep as well as many aspects of his personality. While he was only learning to control it then, by 4E201, he seems to be in almost complete mastery of his body and the wolf and the man are one.


Anyhoo! Mephala has always been a favorite of his, so joining the Tong was only natural for a young Dunmer who had just left his tribe.Β He was trained to fight since he was very small, so as he grew up he became quite the fencer and a remarkable dual blade fighter. Killing had become second-nature quite quickly, and for a guy with his kind of problems, it served to be a great outlet.


Either way, there's what I tried to make a brief (albeit convoluted) summary, and while I am not writing fanfiction chapters about his story, I am text roleplaying him on tumblr if you would like to take a look! It's an ask RP so people can do anything from interact to ask him questions. I regularly post updates to his story and his life for plot purposes, so I if you're interested in that kind of thing, you're free to check it out and follow or bookmark! I didn't explain the bit about what he does for a living /now/ or his deal with House Dres because then I'd be talking too much!

Here is the about page, but the headcanon page and of course, the main page is also full of goodies!Β nherei.tumblr.com/about

Hahah yes! My favorite part about RPing is that I can definitely explore that fine line and I can explore it from many different angles through interactions. I can definitely say he's a scumbag in most respects! But thankfully that is not all there is to him.

Thank you so much for reading You are so nice ;3; I appreciate it!
