1: Origins! How did you come up with the concept for your OC?
Oddly enough, J’hasi was originally a side character for my Argonian character, Moro (who eventually ended up becoming Stalks-In-Shadows). I didn’t have much of a story for them initially, as Moro was my first TES character, I had no idea of the lore, etc, etc…
Oblivion was when J’hasi finally started getting development, though part of him was developed from the parts I scrapped from Moro (like his birthsign/spear use/general temperament). I went back and forth between Morrowind and Oblivion to further develop him and his story and eventually J’hasi became the ‘main’ character while Shadows became the second. I don’t think J’hasi really had a concept to begin with other than ‘Shadows’ bond-brother’.
TL;DR J’hasi’s the result of character development, scrapping my first TES chara, and a wip of lore larnin’
¯_(ツ)_/¯
