#elderscrollsonline #eso #esofam More headcanons on my Vestige, Loicocárno, incoming. He is only 1/2 Altmer. His father is 3/4 Ayleid and 1/4 Maormer. He [sometimes] uses glamor magic to hide his "bleeding" white right eye. His birth sign is the Atronach. He is actually not evil.

A silver-white-haired Altmer with a snooty pose looks down his nose. He wears black, silver, and red Daedric armor. He is white, right-eye "bleeds." His left eye is gold.

#eso #elderscrollsonline #esofam #maedhros Meet my other Vestige, Máitimo Russandol (aka Maedhros). He is an Altmer Templar who defected from the Aldmeri Dominion and fights on behalf of the Ebonheart Pact. He is single, lol. Máitimo is looking for a male elf lover.

He wears an eye patch that covers his left eye, and the right side of his face is scarred. He wears a braid that falls over his left shoulder. He is dressed in black, gold and silver, the colors associated with his chosen faction, the Ebonheart Pact.

#eso #elderscrollsonline #esofam #altmer I somehow made my Vestige look even more evil.

A silver-haired male Altmer looks down from under his nose. His lips are curled downwards, and his eyes are sharp and direct in their gaze. The right eye is blind, milky white with blood dripping (cw blood, but tattoo blood), and the other eye is gold. He wears black, red and silver Daedric armor, and he wears a lip stud and a nose ring.

#eso #elderscrollsonline #altmer #esofam #esorp #altmer #aldmeridominion My Vestige Loicocárno is a member of the clergy of Arkay. He offers prayers to Arkay for the souls of these Bosmer Dominion members who perished in the shipwreck at Khenarthi's Roost.

#eso #esofan #elderscrollsonline I made a Vestige, Loicocárno Aistanando; he is a gay Altmer necromancer looking for an Altmer, Dunmer, Bosmer, or Maormer boyfriend. My username on ESO is elvhenomenon and I am on the EU server. If anyone wants to RP, just DM me. He is a Dominion member, lol.

#dailyocs #arcturusmercarthorne arcturus is intersex (assigned male at birth) & nonbinary identifying; however prefers to use he/him pronouns & present as male physically; he got breast reduction surgery (not traditional top-surgery); after that, he felt far more comfortable in his identity/self

a male presenting elven rook is seen in the character-creator in a cool/neutral lighting where faint mastectomy/top-surgery scars are seen faded with time

#arcturusmercarthorne {Ἀρκτοῦρος (arcturus latinized) is greek for "guardian of the bear" or "bear tamer"; bestowed upon him by his adoptive parents, in lore to dragon age, he is named after a tevinter gladiator who had been known to wrestle bears bare handedly}

uquiz.com/quiz/9hHYIG/... 🎇 here is a fun quiz to do for your rook's 🌠 🔮 my rook got a ring as his result; thus he did a celebrimbor? lol ✨ too bad rook is too BRUTAL

Your Result:
a ring
you’ve made the band simple and beautiful, and inlaid just the details needed to make it special. not too gaudy, not too plain. it’s a ring meant to last forever, meant to be worn forever; when you put it on someone, it wraps around their finger perfectly, delights them. you’ve tried to make it something that people will keep. you needn’t have worried: no matter who you put it on, with time, it starts to wrap tighter around their finger. starts to cling. starts to constrict. you can’t take it off of them, when they beg you to get them free; their skin starts to redden, to bruise, to go black. the only time they manage to get it off is when the finger goes with it. as a sign of devotion, it leaves a strong impression. nobody that you pledge yourself to leaves without a mark.

a male-presenting elven rook stands on a balcony in the lighthouse to a blue background that looks like a classic windows background as he wears a ponderous albeit determined facial expression; said rook has long straight black hair, sharp chiseled features, a prominent nose, slate grey eyes, arched eyebrows, downturned lips, a red vallaslin of elgar'nan and is wearing a comfortable and appropriate set of casual clothing in a tevinter color scheme

#emmrook #emmrichvolkarin #arcturusmercarthorne my rook totally did "it" with emmrich on their first date in the memorial gardens even though they were surrounded by dead people that is about as close to "corpse stuff" my rook would do with emmrich until their second date in the same garden 💀

#daOCqotd cw pregnancy arcturus ends up pregnant by emmrich twice despite thinking himself to be sterile due to being both intersex & being a grey warden; even more complicated their sons are both born as elves due to being conceived in the fade & connection to spirits; they adopt two daughters ⬇️

a male presenting elven rook looks towards emmrich volkarin as he casts his innate magic to speak with a skeleton during his quest

arfeinels@arfeinels· Jan 12

#emmrook that feeling when you are a maximum height male elf and you stand at 5' 7" compared to your 6' 4" human boyfriend; fun fact; j.r.r. tolkien originally planned for his elves to be shorter than humans, but bioware decided to use that idea instead. thanks (sarcastically) 💀🙃😵

my max height male elf stands next to emmrich volkarin and stands around his chin in the comparison of their two respective heights; rook is 5' 7" (170 cm for non Americans) / emmrich is 6' 4" (193 cm for non Americans)

#arcturusmercarthorne i love his profile and the shape of his nose 😘

rook is seen in dragon age the veilguard's photo mode in a cool lighting; location is in the arlathan forest during the prologue; rook is a male-presenting elf with long black hair, a cool skin tone, grey eyes, an aquiline/roman nose, a sharp chin, sharp thick eyebrows and a red vallaslin

rook is seen in dragon age the veilguard's photo mode in a neutral lighting; location is on the rivain coast during one of taash's quests; condensation is seen on rook's face; rook is a male-presenting elf with long black hair, a cool skin tone, grey eyes, an aquiline/roman nose, a sharp chin, sharp thick eyebrows and a red vallaslin

arfeinels@arfeinels· Jan 12

#daOCqotd arcturus likes to use both tevene & dalish terms of endearment for emmrich& bellara, so expect a lot of vhenan or amatus being used by him & i headcanon that from emmrich a lot of nevarran words of endearment are german or adjacent to german 🥰

my male presenting elven rook is seen with his companion/boyfriend emmrich volkarin during his personal quest at blackthorne manor

my male presenting elven rook stands with his companion/girlfriend bellara lutare during her personal quest where her brother cyrian is laid to rest in an ancient elven manor and bellara tells rook that she is getting used to having rook in her life

arfeinels@arfeinels· Jan 11

#daOCqotd arcturus mercar-thorne is intersex (assigned as male at birth & raised as such); identifies as nonbinary but prefers using he/him pronouns over they/them for his own comfort-level, presents as male but doesn't see himself as either; he is bisexual/sapiosexual romantically. 🩷💜💙/💛💜💛/💛🤍💜🖤 ⬇️

a male presenting rook answers an inquiry from his nonbinary teammate taash about their recent epiphany about their identification and how it clashes with how they were raised; rook gives his input despite using he/him pronouns primarily, he is nonbinary as well - just approaches it differently than taash does

a male presenting rook tells his potential love interest emmrich volkarin that while using he/him pronouns; he does not see himself as a man or a woman and later on tells emmrich that he was born with attributes of both sexes though pretty much everyone in his social circle sees him as male

arfeinels@arfeinels· Jan 10

#daOCqotd he fell in love with emmrich when he witnessed his compassion towards him & to others & with his patience & understanding towards him even with his discomfort with necromancy; he fell for bellara because of her optimistic passion to help uplift their people (the elves) & for her compassion

#emmrook rook flirts with emmrich by telling him that he likes how passionate he is about his work even though he is uncomfortable with necromancy

#bellarook bellara and rook watch the venatori convene in the arlathan crater as they discuss a plan to infiltrate their gathering to rescue their fellow dalish elves

arfeinels@arfeinels· Jan 10

#arcturusmercarthorne #nathanexplosion my rook passed on the chance to use the word BRUTAL when he talked to solas; how dare he? 💀 but its okay because he asked emmrich if he really saw him as a BRUTAL adventurer and said that the coffee was BRUTAL on his coffee date with lucanis

nathan explosion greatly approved of this dialogue choice as rook asked emmrich if he really thinks of him as a BRUTAL adventurer

rook once again farms high approval from nathan explosion as he describes the coffee he had a cafe pietra as BRUTAL complex and intriguing
*death metal plays in background*

arfeinels@arfeinels· Jan 10

#daOCqotd #bellemmrook he thought that emmrich was one of the many undead who populate the grand necropolis of nevarra; he thought bellara was not taking the gravity of the situation seriously; but he was proven wrong - so two first impressions of love interest(s) wrong, and glad to be wrong

#bellemmrook a male presenting elven rook stands next to bellara lutare and facing emmrich volkarin while a spirit occupied skeleton chisels away in the background of the grand necropolis of nevarra

#bellemmrook emmrich volkarin gracefully answers rook's question by inferring that MOST mourn watchers are as alive as we are; my rook is kind of squicked out by this but okay

a male presenting elven rook standing between neve gallus and bellara lutare places his hands on his hips as he gives the armored/stoic answer that "the end of the world" is occurring and that bellara can mull over this grim reality at a later point in time

bellara lutare answers in her characteristic manner that she did notice that things were a bit... different as she speaks to rook and to neve gallus

arfeinels@arfeinels· Jan 10

#yaevinn #celebrimbor #nathanexplosion tbh ending up with... nathan explosion?!?! feels so cursed to me when i tried to make my rook look like yaevinn from the witcher i and celebrimbor from the shadow of war/mordor game 💀🙃🪦😵

arfeinels@arfeinels· Jan 10

#arcturusmercarthorne is my rook really similar to an elven nathan explosion from metalocalypse or was i just being ribbed on? honest answers only, lol because i never heard of metalocalypse until someone on tumblr mentioned it to me (no hard feelings bc i think it is funny) 💀

elven rook is once again asking if he is BRUTAL and if the rumors are true that he resembles the fictional character nathan explosion from metalocalypse because he is having an identity crisis over this comment; the picture shows a male presenting elven rook from dragon age the veilguard wearing an armor set associated with the antivan crows faction; the elven rook wears a red vallaslin of the so-called "god" named elgar'nan on his face, on the right side of his face there is red discoloration from an old scar. the elf wears a serious facial expression as he replies to his companion neve gallus with the stoic answer in her personal quest. "small wins"

a male presenting elven rook who is not quite okay with being called BRUTAL wears armor associated once again with the antivan crows, a faction of which he is not a part of during the personal quest of emmrich volkarin in which the green miasma that seemed to be everywhere in nevarra is dissipated into an acceptable level by the use of mods, the elf has red discoloration on the right side f his face from an old scar and a red vallaslin of the fake god elgar'nan and he wears it as a connection with his dalish ancestry despite him being tevinter

a masculine/male presenting elven rook wears an armor associated with the grey wardens as he speaks with tarquin in the hideout of the shadow dragons faction of which he is a part of; he reveals to his faction-mate that he was in fact adopted because tarquin was not able to put two and two together that an elf in a human family was adopted though it is plausible that tarquin never met rook's family and had no idea he was an adoptee; the red discoloration on the right side of his face is clear and visible in this lighting as rook smiles while thinking about his human adoptive family

a male presenting/masculine elven rook wearing grey warden armor of a faction which he is a part of along with the shadow dragons speaks with maevaris tilani who is not pictured in a discussion about mae's past and the future of minrathous and the venatori faction; the elven rook wears a determined facial expression and chooses the armored/stoic dialogue option

#emmrook #emmrichvolkarin #arcturusmercarthorne 🌹bonus kiss because of the silly picture limit 🌹

emmrich volkarin and a male presenting elven rook with an aquiline nose lean in to kiss one another in a cool darkened environment that i tried my best to shed light on with gimp's lighting features

arfeinels@arfeinels· Jan 9

#emmrook #emmrichvolkarin #arcturusmercarthorne 🌹 this emmrook interaction being gated behind emmlich didn't stop me from creating a save just so i can see this interaction because it is canon to me even for mortal!emmrich 🌹 🌹 they are so in love your honor 🌹

emmrich volkarin in his starter armor stands in a room in the grand necropolis with veilfire in the background for dramatic effect, he tells my male presenting elven rook that he loves him and that he is the most magnificent thing to ever happen to him

my male presenting elven rook wearing antivan crows armor tells emmrich volkarin that he loves him with veilfire in the background and emmrich wearing his original armor set

emmrich responds to my rook telling him that he loves him with the statement that he loves him just as well and the background of veilfire in the chamber of the grand necropolis gives a dramatic effect to the scene

emmrich and my male presenting elven rook lean in to kiss one another with a smile barely being able to contain itself on rook's face, the shoulder of emmrich's armor slightly obscures rook's face

arfeinels@arfeinels· Jan 8

#emmrook #emmrichvolkarin #arcturusmercarthorne my shadow dragon/grey warden rook ended up falling for emmrich despite my plan for him not to romance anyone but emmrich ended up stealing my elf's heart and charming the armor off of him despite his discomfort with "corpse-stuff" and necromancy

a male presenting elven rook with long black hair and grey warden armor stands near emmrich volkarin as he flirts with him following a walk in the gardens of the grand necropolis; he thought that he made a good impression despite that not being his intent

a male presenting elven rook with long black hair wearing the casual armor of the shadow dragon smiles while flirting with professor emmrich volkarin who is holding a skull and informs him that he cuts an intriguing figure himself

a male presenting elven rook with long black hair and antivan crow armor stands by professor emmrich volkarin in the gardens of the grand necropolis after they commit to a romance with one another, rook is smiling

a male presenting elven rook with long black hair sits across from professor emmrich volkarin at an elegantly set table wearing an antivan style outfit in red and black as he tells emmrich that his observation was acute and that his left hand was a tad stiff for "reasons" related to carnal matters

#arcturusmercarthorne elf titties... that's the post 💀

a male elven rook from dragon age the veilguard wears "the invitation" armor set without a necklace because his tits clip through it otherwise. the elf has long raven black hair (actually the darkest blue and not black), slate grey eyes, a blood red vallaslin representing elgar'nan, red scarring on his face and the chest slider maxed out.

arfeinels@arfeinels· Dec 13

#arcturusmercarthorne 🔴 did i mention his magnificent profile? 🔵 🔥 aquiline noses my love ❄️

a male elf with long black hair and an aquiline nose and a sharp chin (i don't feel like writing out a long description this time)

arfeinels@arfeinels· Dec 13

#rqotd #arcturusmercarthorne 🔴 arcturus wears his long, straight raven black hair loose in-game solely due to that hairstyle being the longest available 🔵 ❄️ a life of adventure has not left much time for the elaborate hairstyles and braids that he favors 🔥

a male elf with long, straight raven black hair is seated in a room with cool lighting, the colors he wears are the blue and grey of the grey warden faction; his facial expression is one of determination and exhaustion; on his sharp facial features there is a prominent nose, a serious mouth with downturned lip corners, arched black eyebrows, slate grey eyes, a red scar on the right side of his face subdued by time and the blood red vallaslin "blood writing" of elgar'nan covering his face on both sides, his skin with a cool tone is quite smooth overall.

arfeinels@arfeinels· Dec 13

#rqotd #arcturusmercarthorne 🔵 true neutral 🔴 🔥 a combination of lawful evil actions, neutral good, and chaotic neutral actions - and reasonings for those actions ❄️ ▶️ he is a grey warden so his morality is different from the average thedosian ◀️

a male elf with long straight black hair in a warmly lit room, where on the right side of his face is illuminated while the rest of his features are dimmed by the poor lighting - there is a remarked red scar on the right side of his face, and covering his face on both sides there is a blood red vallaslin "blood writing" of elgar'nan. the elf has thick, arched black eyebrows, slate grey eyes, a prominent nose and a serious facial expression, he wears the armor of the grey wardens

arfeinels@arfeinels· Dec 13

#rqotd #arcturusmercarthorne ❄️ he is quite confident about his appearance... the scars, the slightly broken nose... all of it!!! he is actually quite vain about his looks 🔥 🔴 i think that he knows that he is extremely attractive in comparison to the average person in thedas and he uses it 🔵

a male elf with long straight black hair in cool lighting, face partially shadowed in a dark room with scant sources of light; wearing the blue faction clothing of the grey wardens, on his cool-toned skin there is a striking red vallaslin of elgar'nan and barely visible is a reddening on the right side of his face, an old scar, eyebrows are arched and thick, eyes are slate grey, a prominent pointed ear is seen on the right side of his head - his nose prominent and aquiline- slightly broken if you look from the front, curves slightly to the left.

arfeinels@arfeinels· Dec 13

#rqotd #arcturusmercarthorne 🔴 long story short; bisexual / intersex / nonbinary but uses both he and they (the latter as an afterthought tbh) 🔵 ❄️ he is seen as male by most people in both dalish and tevinter society, but he sees himself as neither a man or a woman but himself tbh 🔥

a male elf in a darkly lit room, unfortunately not very good lighting; where he speaks to taash (not seen) about identifying as nonbinary although he goes by he/him primarily; said elf has long straight black hair, red scarring on the right side of his face, and a red vallaslin of elgar'nan; eyes are slate grey, eyebrows are thick and arched, and he wears clothing of the grey warden order (not easily seen)
