#they might be the only people who somrwhat benefited from her influence

You tell yourself... don't make the story complicated. Just make a simple OC with a simple yet interesting enough background story.

A month later you've written them as a reincarnated hero turned evil due to parental neglect, a moon god, and their own natural arrogance and pride- and now you're in the process of writing a possible redemption arc ONLY to explain why everyone in Tamriel was left in peace instead of the OC letting Alduin destroy reality.

#'left in peace' #wacha took down a lot of casualties #so while there may be survivors they may have survived physically but not mentally #i mean she refuses to hand over the heads to the companions so they can cure themselves #in fact she incinerated the heads so they NEVER have a chance at a cure #and mocks them openly for it because she knows there are other cures but they are too afraid of magic to seek them out #she neglects the students at winterhold as arch-mage #she hardly even speaks to the professors but is usually locked away in her own studies for her own self advancements #do I even need to tell you the answer to 'did she ever return the skeleton key?' #....actually the Dark Brotherhood is actually fine #they might be the only people who somrwhat benefited from her influence #even cicero who she allowed to live purely because she hates astrid #ive put way too much thought into her and her reincarnation theory #and I have zero regrets #but now I have to make dawnguard and dragonborn into semi redemption arcs? #ir at least try to explain why didnt just let alduin win because she honestly wanted to #if youve seen Castlevania the anime just know her motives are literally in sync with Dracula's #not 'all humans are monsters' but the other reason Dracula does what he does #if you know you know
