Feet: High Rock Spellsword Shoes
3: Coldharbour Ash Black
I wanted to create something suited for a battlemage, also gloomy, with this ‘antihero’ vibe in it. Yet it must be stylish, without anything that will make it too flashy.

I wanted to create a costume which will combine barbaric look with simplicity, good for ‘simple’ adventurer. Also, I wanted to make sure Decapitonia will survive harsh winds of Wrothgar.
To be the Chosen One really sounds like lots of fun,
But in the end you'll just be someone's lunch (c)
Dyes: Eyevea Blue, Craftmaster Gold, Smith Steel Blue, Boss Butcher Brown, Bandit Brown. Other cosmetics: Brassy Assassin personality, Dominion War-Locks, Magicka Brow Medallion, Azure Eyes, Crescent Earrings, Subtle Dark Lashes.
The inspiration for this look was me wanting to make a scholar look for my Altmer sorcerer, while using the Magicka Brow Medallion. I wanted it to look fancy, but still fairly practical to run around in while potentially doing field research.
This will involve bunch of texts and pics, so yeah
Introduction: I have 15 characters in total, but mostly play with my 4 main characters, with 1 of them is my primary main, which has the longest playtime compared to the other chars. So I'll only show these 4 mains of mine, since they're the most meaningful characters I ever created. I always love taking screenshots of my characters then combining the into a single scene. Can check for more in my IG: https://www.instagram.com/mdet.sari/
PS: the pic above contains every chars I have along with assistants and houseguests, made it for new year 2022.
Inspiration: All of these 4 are inspired of myself, and my life. I have history of Bipolar and Schizoaffective (and still am, just not as bad as back then), and I use this game mostly to help me project my mind and keep myself sane. All these 4 are projection of my mind and self, each representing their roles in my brain which also affects my being. They're separated into 2 self-beings (Imperial race), the gold one is my real me, and the back is my alter, and also 2 aspects (Breton race), white one the emotion and the other is the logic. All of them have same name = Essentia (it's my real name but in Latin), with Amul-Digestum or Digest-Amulum at the back, also have exact same body and face presets which I created my own. I tried to resembling them to myself (and my brain aspects) as close as possible, including their roles, items, even collectibles. Some of the items applied might be hidden by other stuff, but I still put it on them for realism and role perfectionism. Doing this also helps me to get involved more into the game's story.
Some of their fashions might change from time to time for it depends on my mood and also the model availability in the game. I always try my best to find models that really suite their style and characteristic, and try not to change it as long as I can, until I find a better motif/style page and dyes. They actually has a bunch of fashion presets (each with collectibles and costumes included), but this is the most frequently used, especially doing dungeons and trials.
Now here comes their details:
1. Essentia Amul-Digestum (The Main)
I've been playing with this one since first playing the game, always login with her first before the others. She can do all roles, but primarily as a tank. What makes her fashion like this is because she uses the things that I love and do in my real life. I use fully covered clothes everyday (make her fully armored instead to match her role as a tank). Gold, silver and white colors have special place in my heart. I use Bard persona for her cuz I love and play flute as hobby and also copping mechanism of my Bipolar, and the flute model included in the persona matches the one I own. I also chose to become a tank for some specific reasons aside from Imperial as stamina preferred build, but mainly it's because: being a tank teaches me to be strong, aware, and flexible in all situations.
Fashion pieces:
- Chest/Legs/Hands/Boots/Belts/all Weapons = Imperial Champion
- Head = Order Hour (light)
- Personality = Minstrel (sometimes Maniacal Jester/Commander)
- Mount & Pet = Luminous Indrik / Shimmering Indrik
2. Essentia Amuldigestum (The Emotion)
This one is originally the first character model of my Main, as a Breton healer, until I was able to gain access to Imperial race and switch her to tanking. I missed her "holy existence" so much, I decided to make her doppelganger, and here she is. She resembles the emotion, which influences decision on morality, sympathy, and empathy. She's only visible to my Main. She always a caring being at most, but if bad stuff happens, she can get overreacting, making the Main temperamental and messes the decision making for most urgent situation.
This is her original appearance.
Fashion pieces:
- Chest/Legs/Boots/Belts/= Psijic Order (light)
- Hands = Psijic Warden Gauntlet
- Head = Akaviri (light)
- Weapons = Prophet staff + Anequina staff
- Personality = Telvanni Magister
- Mount & Pet = Pure-Snow Indrik / Frost-Light Indrik
3. Essentia Digestamulum (The Logic)
Same like the Emotion aspect, the Logic is only visible to the Main. She influences the thoughts, reasoning, and deductions. She's always stating things literally with facts, it makes her not caring with ethics and spiritual sense. She affects the main by being honest in everything, sometimes too brutally honest, she ignores moral situation surrounding her, making the Main hardheaded, she turns ignorant to everything that is deemed unrelated to the things at hand.
The shadow, the ghost of the Main, the very thing she avoid to turn into at all costs. The Alter only appears when Schizo-effect strikes, indicated to happen when both Emotion and Logic clashes on each other in an intense fight, they declaring war inside the Main's brain. When the main unable to contain them, she will morph into the Alter, and just want to not care about anything. Her appearance might be similar but she's dead inside, hollow. If confronted, she will attack everything, foes and friends alike.
Fashion pieces:
- Chest/Legs/Hands/Boots/Belts/all Weapons = Evergloam Champion
- Head = Malacath
- Personality = Maniacal Jester
- Mount & Pet = Spectral Indrik / Haunting Indrik
Armour
Head: shroud of the Lich

Chest: Ascendant Order Robe
Hands: Ancient Daedric Gloves
Belt: Dremora sash
Weapon: Nerien’eth restoration staff
Colours
Stormlord purple
Daedric Red
Undaunted Bronze
Inspiration
I love all things necromancer and I love the look of the Liches. I thought the Ascendant Order Robe looks a little bit like the Lich robe. Also, the skin plus the azure eyes makes them look extra creepy.
This is my pirate captain, Hadvar Silver-Tooth, I wanted to have some nice outfit for him and used most items drowned sailor even if its not out yet (ZoS I beg you)

This second character is named Atharo al-Rihad, he is a redguard wine maker on Rihad close to the Gold Coast, I wanted something nice for this character, and I tried red at first but then settled on purple. I mainly wanted to use this hat with an outfit so thats one of my main inspirations for this.
My Dk tank Silus Veserius, a former imperial centurion of the second legion and current adventurer/ mercenary
Head: dragonguard (light)
Shoulders: house hexos (heavy)
Chest:dragonguard (heavy)
Legs:ivory brigade (heavy)
Hands: second legion
Feet :house hexos (heavy)
Dragonguard sword
Leyawiin brigadine shield
Dyes: cyrodillic steel, fire drake's flame, divine gold (on helmet)
Inspiration: I really like the fantasy Roman aesthetic the empire has and wanted to play into it with my take on a imperial centurion who has upgraded a few bits and pieces as he's gone along but still wants to pay homage to the now collapsed empire he fought for.
Morc is my fun loving Orc Templar. He loves to laugh and make others laugh. His attire is always loud and flamboyant to best match his cheery disposition.
Weapon
His staff, invisible in its spirit form, is always ready when needed but politely out of sight whilst perusing the many back-alley shops and navigating busy throughways.
Inspiration
Having recently made his way to High Isle, Stephen wanted an outfit to match the pomp and dandy of Gonfalon Bay high society with a hint of 'slug it out down by the docks' nautical danger. Flying the colours blue is his nod to the alliance.
ARMOUR
Annihliatch’s Chosen girdle,cuirass and pauldrons
Fire Drake gauntlets
Storm Lord greaves
Dremora Kynreeve sabatons
Death Grin Skull mask
Horned Brown plate adornment
DYES
Void pitch and Coldharbour ash black
Bloodfiend skin
INSPIRATION
I wanted a skeleton character to match my skeletal horse mount and guar pet. I thought the polymorph was too plain looking so I came up with this.
I've got many characters I could use for this, but I'll use my most interesting.
Character: Nchuand Mzalft, Shivering Isles Dwemer
Head: Scholar's Spectacles Shoulders: Arkthzand Armory (Heavy) Chest: Arkthzand Armory (Light) Hands: Sapiarch (Light) Waist: Sovngarde Stalwart Legs: Honor Guard (Light) Feet: Psijic Order (Heavy) Weapon: Fork of Horripilation + Cadwell's "Shield" Bonus Item: Dwemervamidium Memento Dyes: Wayrest Royal Purple, Red Diamond Red, Colossus Brass, Coldharbour Ash Black, Varla White
Inspiration: In his outfit, I wanted to pay tribute to his Dwemer heritage, his pastry chef profession, and the Shivering Isles' aberrant sense of fashion, as well as the colors of Mania, Dementia, and Sheogorath himself, all at once. The Dwemervamidium memento enhances the armor's Dwemer craftsmanship, but also adds that extra bit of madness; it seems to be visibly malfunctioning, but his mind has been so maddened he doesn't even notice the trail of sparks and steam he leaves in his wake.

Inspiration: I absolutely love anything dwarven and have always preferred that style for my character. I hope to theme him as a dwarven scholar while also as a mage and healer.
Dyes: Bedlam Purple, Void Pitch and Colossus Brass Inspiration: I wanted my Sorcerer to look like a capable wizard and Daedrologist so I went with a nice robe with some pointies.

Colümba - breton NB - (original name would have been Colomba - who's part of a Vendetta)
Inspiration (background story)
A candle flickers in the shadows. In a corner near the window, a table, a chair.
Near the fireplace a bed, a wardrobe. Hung on the wall, a child's clothing, a broken sword.
The bareness of the room contrasts with the allure of the woman.
She wears a gold and black dress, wrinkled, faded colors, sign of an ancient nobility.
She is barefoot. Short white hair, large grey eyes.
She let slip the dress on the floor. Her muscular body is bruised. A large scar covering her back.
She puts on a pair of pants, jacket, boots barely covering her calves, a belt leather sheath.
She picks up her hair under a hooded mask.
On the table some water and oil. A leather strap fixed on the wall. The woman grabs a dagger. Applying a slight angle, she scrapes the dagger across the surface of the stone, repeating the gesture with gentleness and patience.
She knows. She loved to see him sharpen his blade. "Both sides of the blade" he said. The minutes pass. Then she grabs one extremity of the leather strap. "pulls the blade now " ...
She starts again with the second dagger.
Her hands do not shake. When she finished, she slips the two blades in their sheath.
Standing in the darkness, the black silhouette is still.
For months she has learned to move in the shadows, to become invisible.
She learned how to handle daggers.
She learned to listen and be silent.
She learned how to lie and cheat.
She learned to kill.
The latter did not see it coming . When the blades cut his throat, she whispered "Remember of Andu, your blood is mine."
Three are dead. She will find them all.

Minor Adornment: -
Major Adornment: Scholar's spectables
Body Markings: -
Personality: Brassy Assassin
Dyes: Coldharbour Ash Black, Rank 4 Materials, Rank 10 Materials, Red Diamond Red
Inspiration: For my Khajiit assassin (yes i know, unoriginal! xD), i really endeavoured to lean deep into his feral side; "Khajiit has claws, yes?" so to this end, i prioritised pieces exemplifying savage, wild-cat energy, drenched in the blood of his past victims, seemingly gushing from his ever-open, ready maw. "And dis one rather likes the misdirection of the Covenant imagery, on his torso. Useful for a shadow-lurker, no?"
Helmet: Dreadhorn
Chest: Minotaur (cost me a bundle, it did!xD)
Shoulders: Minotaur
Arms: Minotaur
Belt: Orc
Legs: Order Hour
Boots: Orc
Two-Handed: Minotaur Cleaver
Dyes: Pellitine Coral, Coldharbour Ash Black, Rank 4 Materials, Pact Vanquisher Brown, Boss Butcher Brown, Adventurer Brown, Obsidian Black
Inspiration: Taking note of the recent Spriggan polymorph (while lamenting at the lack of a Minotaur skin), i designed my fourth Child Of Mand'alor (seriously, do you even Star Wars?!), around my favourite NPCs in ESO. A traditional Orc Berserker, seems a natural fit to the peerless, red-hot rage of the badass Bull-men. A devout worshipper of Morihaus, Oblivion hath no fury, like a Bull-Woman scorned.

My Woodelf Nightblade poses in the city of Balmora in the region of Vvardenfell wearing her new outfit named for the location.
Outfit: Holiday in Balmora (Colors used: Monochrome: Birch White and Noxophilic Black)
Head piece - Major Adornment: Malign Ambitions Crown
Head Markings - Chalky White Lips
Dagger Style: Breton Dagger 4 (Colors used: Moonstone White, Dominion Yellow, and Red Diamond Red)
Sword Style: High Elf Sword 4 (Colors used: Moonstone White, Ransacker Blue, and Woodsman Green)
Personality: Brassy Assassin
Inspiration: "Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day!" and " Who says assassins can't wear white, because the Widow Sisters sure pulled it off, and so did those Assassins Creed fellows!" LOL!
Inspiration: Dhamari is a somewhat feral mer and has a very 'don't get near me' attitude, so this outfit has a lot of pointy elements to discourage that, especially on his extremeties. It's a combination of cloth for mobility and armour for protection, in his preferred colours of grey and brown. I like the single touch of bright red, like a drop of blood, because he is easily provoked and quite violent. I use different versions of the Welkynar boots on a lot of his outfits - Dhamari was raised alongside Khajiit and has a lot of cat-like mannerisms, so the paw/claw motif on these boots reflects that. He's also half Maormer so I like to throw a couple Pyandonean elements into some of his looks.
Character: Tarahen
Head (adornment): Saliarche Aetherial Tiara
Chest: Greymoor
Shoulders: Psijic Order
Hands: Sapiarch
Waist: Psijic Order
Legs: Silken Ring
Feet: Ancestral High Elf
Staff: Spellscar Lithoarms
Inspiration: Tarahen is my Psijic who specialises in Ayleid and celestial studies, and so I themed his main outfit around that aesthetic - the white stonework of Ayleid ruins, an aetherial blue in contrast, accented with bronze metals. There are several Psijic and Altmer pieces to show his link to those cultures, but he's also considered a bit of a maverick in both cases, so I didn't want his attire to actually scream Altmer Psijic and I kept those elements as minor ones.
Inspiration: Caspian is my Dwemer scholar/adventurer and blacksmith. Rather than just tossing him into a full motif, I wanted to mix and match some of the Dwarven motifs available to create a look more unique to him (with the idea that he made or modified a lot of this equipment himself). The result is stylish and fitted, well-armoured but not bulky, good for fending off Dwarven constructs and still being able to crawl through a collapsed tunnel without getting a sabaton or pauldron jammed in the rocks halfway through.
Helmet: Pyre Watch Hat (a very magical thing - heals the blind eye )
Chest: Mercenary Jack
Legs: Assassins League Guards
Shoulders: Minotaur Arm Cops
Feet: Ebonshadow Shoes
Hands: Assasins League Bracers
Belt: Assassins League Sash
Two-Handed: Sunspire Staff
Dyes: Rank 8 Materials / Colovian Deep Brown / Volunteer's Iron / Boss Butcher Brown / Viridian Venom. Dwarven Brass and Julianos White on the staff.
Inspiration: I wanted to make medium armor. Comfortable for long journeys and durable enough for battles. In which my magician will feel comfortable, but at the same time will be protected better than in a robe. And he also loves Khajiit jewelry very much
Green Ranger Tommy from MMPR, along with my in-game and in-real-life partner (whom I met through ESO-expecting our first baby in a month) the Pink Ranger, with Isobel and Bastien as Yellow and Red Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Inspiration
As a Templar Healer, I wanted my character’s outfit to reflect her abilities and purpose. For the color palette, I felt sticking with more traditional cleric colors, white + gold, was most appropriate to symbolize light and holiness. As for the armor, she’s a combat medic, so a mix of heavy and light armor was necessary. I wanted her helmet to resemble a halo and her armor to reflect her affinity for magic. I’ve always liked the idea of magic amplifiers, which I why I went with the Psijic armor that has built in gemstones.
