Introducing Marcus

February 8, 2018

 

Marcus Vivianus is an Imperial thief who is currently my main character in a playthrough featuring Legacy of the Dragonborn.

He’s also a supporting character in Cyrelian’s story as well as a regular model for my screenshot submissions to mod pages on Nexus.

Usually skimpy armor mods. I would say this is much to his chagrin, but I don’t think much fazes Marcus.  He isn’t shy about expressing his opinion.

Mods:

  • body mesh/genital mesh- Schlongs of Skyrim or Slimmer Male Body for SoS and Femfeet for Men/ Bad Dog’s Hoodie Schlongs
  • body texture– Normal map- gift from a mod author. Diffuse map- I made it from the old Complete Male Overhaul (mostly feet) and Fair Men and Vitruvia. Tattoo assets from Eastern Body Art and some public domain Celtic knotwork. Spec map– likely tweaked from CMO and Fair Men.
  • face texture- Fair Men. Spec map is custom.
  • Hair: KS Hairs
  • Eyes: Eyes of Beauty (Helena Green addon)
  • Brows/Beards

 

 

 

 

Cyrelian / Stories

1. Cyrelian’s arrival in Skyrim

1. Cyrelian–Arrival in Skyrim: Thalmor Embassy

 

This was the first story that I posted and a fair number of the pictures are not taken with ENB. I also learned a fair amount about formatting and cropping as I went along.

I’ve taken a number of liberties with Skyrim lore along the way, but one of the considerations that I had to deal with was the subject of mer age.  Humans in Skyrim live the lifespan that we’d expect for us– unless they are mages or something else is going on. Mythic kings were reputed to live a long time. And humans have the same phases of life that we’d expect.

Mer are different, and it’s hard to piece together just how different, because the source material conflicts. We know that mer, particularly Altmer or Dunmer mages, can live a very long time. Even absent being mages, the lifespan for Altmer is said to be 100-200 years. That’s.. rather a large variance.  And then we here about various Altmer persons who live much longer than that, with no indication that they are mages.

Given all of that, and given that I really don’t see Altmer as the permissive-parenting type, I came up with .. 38. Cyrelian is 38 at the time of his arrival in Skyrim, which means that he is old enough to make his own important life decisions, sign contracts, get married, and so on… at least from a legal perspective.  His actually doing so would prompt an immediate family meeting, I am sure.
