Description
rough painting of two OCs: Iveri (left) and Revyn (right). Decided a few posts ago to paste a character's full-length bio the first time I introduced them, so get ready for a wall of text.

In the essentially-zero chance you're reading my TES3 fanfic on ao3, spoilers for that.

IVERI SADRYS
Ivie is the "Nerevarine." She spent the first 30 years of her life struggling with what she had not yet realized was dysphoria, moving back and forth across borders repeatedly, ghosting close relationships, and passing up major life opportunities (including not going to Akavir directly after TES3)-- until eventually transitioning after the events of TES3 and settling into a much more satisfied life in Cyrodiil.
In Cyrodiil, she pursued her passion for alchemy under the Arcane University’s Archmage Varys Aren (intro'd in an earlier post) for a period of time, until things went sideways due to some behind-the-scenes shenanigans Varys was pulling. She quickly switched gears, making a name for herself as a high-ranking Blades officer, and training the likes of the Hero of Kvatch (until he suddenly vanished, that is). Eventually she became Grandmaster and began serving on the Imperial Elder Council.
Her overly negative, self-righteous, control-freak attitude got her ostracised from the Council multiple times, but she always managed to crawl her way back. By the events of Skyrim, she had been on a Council streak for well over a hundred years and truly cemented herself a unique and irreplaceable role within it. She emphasises whenever humanly possible just how influential and important her role in the government is, much to the chagrin of some in the Council, and her general assholery has even gained her villain status within the lives (and deaths) of a few Cyrodilic nobles. Eventually, though, Revyn's illness in the 4E300s called her away from the Imperial City for good, and she hasn’t been heard from since.

REVYN ARAVEL
Revyn was actually born an Ashlander. He was separated from his tribe at a very young age and found outside Vivec City by a member of House Hlaalu, and was henceforth raised as one of their own. Hlaalu probably regrets this a bit, since he ended up going out of his way to create a successful trading and shipping line which refuses business with anyone who benefits from the slave industry, just to prove their “muh slavery” arguments unfounded. But for the first couple decades of his life, Revyn was known not for his abolitionist approach to commerce, but for his public and shameless displays of what experts refer to as “hoe behaviour.”
His first meeting with Ivie was soon after she’d been released from prison: she stowed away on a caravan he was running from Seyda Neen to Balmora, and he found her out. Recognising she didn’t have much of a choice, he decided to help her out. A few days and many regrettable decisions later, he was obligated to help (read: repay) her even further by becoming her impromptu sidekick.
Ivie had a rare effect on Revyn. He realised up until that point, he had been floating by on other people’s opinions and expectations of him and not being his true self. (Coincidentally, Ivie would soon realise this about herself as well.) But with her, he turned into a completely different person: selfless, genuine, able to appreciate the small joys in life.
Being friend of the “Nerevarine,” he knew Vivec had lost his power and feared Baar Dau’s collapse, so he packed up and left Vvardenfell just a few years before it happened. In Cyrodiil he tried to recreate his business, but could only gain traction among fellow Dunmer. He lives relatively comfortably in a Dunmer community until the 4E300s, when a degenerative illness begins to get the better of him.
