NerevarII Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) SELINA Let's not beat around the bush . I have never made a follower before , or any mods . I am going to make my current character into a follower . I need help to do this . I have already grasped the basic steps/concepts behind follower creation and can make a basic follower .... However , I do not want her to be "just another basic bytch mane" . I want her to be voiced , and I want her to have some killer AI and maybe even some dance moves for when you're , uh , bored ? - Here's the link to see what she currently looks like -(If you want to see more of her)(OR CLICK FIRST IMAGE TO SEE MORE, ONLY THREE PICTURES ARE HERE) http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/images/617614 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Only three picture in this post , click one for more. http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb41/RainbowSixG/Selina/Selina%20New%20Look/enb%202016_07_09%2018_35_26_05.jpg _________________|| |||| Table of Contents : ||||________________||||- I.

WHO I NEED - VOICE ACTRESS -EXPERIENCED SCRIPTERS/AI CREATORS -IDEA PEOPLE II. HER AGE I may make some adjustments . I'm aiming for her to look the age of 22 (Since I'm currently 22) , but anywhere from 18-24 will be acceptable . Please vote to help my perception of her age right now . I'm not sure right now what to change , if anything should change at all . In fact , I can't exactly place an age on her face .... the only thing I see is that she looks pretty young . Whenever I try to make her look older , she starts looking like she's in her 40s haha . That I do not want . Obviously I will have to accept just uploading a basic follower if nobody wants to help , or take months , due to limited time , to actually learn how to do all of the crazy cool things other followers can do . But if anyone is willing to lend a helping hand , by all means , do not hesitate to comment here or PM me . III. Now let's beat around the bush , here's my goals : 1 - Stealthy scripted combat (Illusion , sneak , archery)2 - Quick life ending combat if stealth fails (Conjuration[shadow Magic , deals damage] , Light Armor)..... 2B - Remaining perk tree would be pickpocket from SkyRe , but since it's a follower , i might substitute with something else .3 - Fully Voiced (Maybe not too much dialogue , but enough for at least 100 different lines)4 - Can interact with environment5 - Perform different animations and/or poses6 - Possible small quest to find her , maybe the Dragonborn's sister ? Haha idk yet I'm still working on her story7 - Options for different looks (hairstyle , body type , eye color , makeup , clothing ect)8 - Will edit more goals in as they come to mind9 - Preset upload10 - Potential quest mod . If I decide to do so , it will be large IV. YOU WANT A BACKSTORY? OKAY. http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb41/RainbowSixG/Selina/Selina%20New%20Look/enb%202016_07_09%2018_29_12_55.jpg SELINAShe's fierce, she's confident, she's a stone cold killer, and she's a empathetic lover. Her name is Selina. A daughter of a necromantic father and shadow caster mother. She has trained hard everyday since the age of 4. She was born along the border of Cyrodiil and Skyrim, in a secluded location home to a clan of dark magic users. Something in her from birth remained pure, and is half of what motivated her to leave her clan and, if possible, find the light she longs for. The remaining half of her reasoning, was that her clan was slaughtered by some of the most skilled Vigilants of Stendarr. She is thought to be the only one to escape. PERSONALITYHer personality is KIND OF similar to that of Catniss Everdeen (From The Hunger Games) except, a lot less corny lol. And a lot more cute and silly, proper and classy. Cool, calm , collected, and confident. However, she does have her dark moments (from her rough upbringing) but manages to keep the welling darkness within her in check. She is caring, wholesome, and loving at heart. The way she jokes is lighthearted in manner, almost playful, with subtle admiration of the player. When she jokes with others, she is a tiny bit more harsh and sarcastic. She only wants best for the Dovahkiin, even if it means a little bit of playful nagging. When facing an enemy, she is cold and heartless. She does not hesitate to take the kill. No one will stand in her way of success, and protecting the Dragonborn. The Dragonborn and her come first, all else second. Although, she is very charitable. And yes, she hates Nazeem just as much as you do, and will happily kill him for you without being detected :wink:BACKSTORYSelina was born into a clan known as The Shadows of Death, by her necromancer father and shadow caster mother. A healthy child, she grew fast, and strong. Her parents started her training when she turned four. Moving on from simple spells like Calm and Red Bolt to more intricate magics like Invisibility and Darksol Gasp we're no challenge for her. Selina's skills and prowess grew at such a promising rate, the clan leader took interest and asked for her parents permission to train her personally. With the training from her new master, the child prodigy's skill reached unrivaled heights. Everything wasn't all that great though. For someone who didn't want to harm others, being forced to perform some of the heinous acts deemed necessary by her clan tainted the purity she was born with. Kidnappings, adultnappings, sacrifices, murder's, assassinations, and decapitating corpses for rituals. Eventually, she became numb to it and began to compartmentalize the negativity. This is where thing's really started to change for her, around the age of 14.Trying to cope with the evil deeds she has committed for the sake of her clan, she nearly went insane. From her training however, she used what she learned, especially about being strong, and triumphed in finding a balance. To find solace in who she was and what she has done. Keeping her inner darkness in check, she began excelling again in her training and studies. Events proceeded as normally as they would, until her coming of age. Around that time is when thing's started to go downhill. Clan member's we're dying more frequently on missions, spies were being found out, and assassination attempts on their began, from special Vigilant of Stendarr agents. A few months after she become of age, The Shadows of Death's leader was successfully assassinated, and soon after the entire clan was attacked by the Vigil of Stendarr's best.During this conflict, Selina's mother and father we're slain. In the confusion of battle, she tried to find them, and she did. She found them being disintegrated by holy light from several Vigilant's. Her parent's managed to fend them off and weaken them, up until their death. Welling condemnation of her parent's killers, fueled by heartbreak and rage, caused her to lose control of herself and released the darkness she held in for so long. The atmosphere became dark, stale, and cold, like the life had been slowly stripped from the air, an aura of shadows encompassed her, and then burst forth like Herma Mora's tendrils assimilated with the newfound chaotic emotions and struck the agent's down, allowing their bodies to fade to black, consumed by shadow.After exacting her revenge she was drained and weak. Letting out years of bottled up emotions can do that anybody. With the fresh sight of her parent's being murdered, she was lost in her thoughts not seeing the death and destruction around her, until a fellow member grabbed her up by the arm to take her to safety. The clan was all but diminished at this point. the two of them tried to help other members, but to no avail. The clansman who pulled her away was killed, and she just barely escaped the agent trailing behind her. Out of the cave, out of the valley, she sat by a lake to mourn her losses. She almost gave up, even wanting to commit suicide, but a pure-white snow fox happened across her path, whom reminded her of the purity within herself. It took an immediate interest in her, as she did it. Yup, you guessed it, she befriended the fox and it became her companion. That motivated her to live on, and that's exactly what she did, and she did it well. She was homeless, and would become nomadic.Remaining homeless and nomadic only for a month, Selina decided it was time to begin moving forward again. She made her way to Cyrodiil and settled there until she was about 20 years old. During that time she continued train, in secret, and essentially live the life of a normal citizen, growing in happiness as the years dimmed the pain. Her admirable ability to find the beauty in the most simplistic of things is what kept her sane. To stop, take a breath, and become tranquil. Star gazing is her most cherished indulgence of all. Once again happy and content with all that life has to offer, the decision to adventure was made. She's young, and has so much youth left in her, what better way to spend it than to travel to new lands? Her next destination? Skyrim of course!And this brings us to where we are today. Remember how she's a star gazer? Of course you do! So naturally, you'd want the best view possible, and what's the best view in Skyrim? The up-skirt of Selina? Maybe but NO! The Throat of the World you silly pervert! So that is where she headed. But why walk 7,000 steps sober? Selina obviously stopped for some food and drink, and much needed rest, before climbing the 7,000 steps. You can find her relaxing at the Vilemyr Inn in Ivarstead. Have you ever counted how many steps there actually are? Is it 7,000? You could find out. Dialogue (Coming Soon) If you wish to audition for her, here are some line's I would audio samples of. Try to get the best recording you possibly can! (Said with interest tone) "Hello, do you need something?"+(Light chuckle) "My name? (Sweetly affirming tone) You can't ask a name without introducing yourself first."+(Entering combat, soft confident tone) "Let me handle this one."+(Was hit, playful and confident tone) "Haha nice one but it's nothing more than a flesh wound!"+(About to stealth kill , quiet and cold tone) "They will fade to black."+(Viewing nice scenery , awestruck and admiration tone) "Look at those stars. They're so beautiful. I've always found tranquility and solace in them. Maybe one day I can join my parents up there, in the heavens." VI. Combat (Coming Soon) I hope some people are willing to help ! Edited July 15, 2016 by NerevarII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlee3141 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) What's her personality and character going to be like? Also, if you wrote any theatrical scripts for her, then I'd be most appreciative if you would consider posting a sample here. Thanks!

NerevarII Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Sure thing ! I'll edit what I type here in my first comment . Below is edited and edited into original post above . Personality : Confident , assertive , does not hesitate to kill , yet holds onto the purity of her heart . Cool , calm , and collected . She loves striking from the shadows and disappearing as quick as she strikes , and tends to avoid direct confrontation unless necessary . If direct confrontation is required , she utilizes her shadow magics (but they drain her magicka fast) . She can be sweet , kind , and loving , and might give a little advice/motivate the player . However , she does have some dark tendencies , due to the life she had growing up (More on that later) , and she may have a subtle dark attitude at times . As for dialogue with other people , she loves the confrontation , She loves to let her actions speak for her , showing others that she knows what she's doing , and if something needs to be done , she will get it done . Sample Dialogue (Sitting in a tavern) : (Said with interest) "Hello, do you need something?" (Light chuckle) "My name? You can't ask a name without introducing yourself first." (In response to dragonborn's name) "I like that name. (Say lightheartedly) A little peculiar, but it'll have to do."(In response to name if I decide she will be his/her sister) "I like that name. Wait, did you just say .... ? [name] ?? Is that you ??""You silly bast**d/b**ch! I've been looking everywhere for you!" (combat) "*sigh* Let me handle this one.""This one looks easy.""This one may be a little difficult.""Ow! You nicked me""Nothing but a flesh wound!" (random)"This weather is beautiful, don't you think?""There's a special kind of solace in the night.""Have you ever wondered what consciousness is?"(said with light admiration)"Look at you ..""You know, Skyrim seems a lot more empty than I had imagined." I just did these all off the top of my head . They will most likely change , but I responded quick as a sign of good faith that I will respond to everybody and address any concerns any members have , as quick as I can . I will also respond to any support questions after the release of Selina . Edited July 11, 2016 by NerevarII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlee3141 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Very nice. I like the "You can't ask for a name without introducing yourself first." It's very original, yet so true! Really looking forward to this follower now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerevarII Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Thank you ! The more interest I can generate , the more motivation that flourishes in me . I want her to exhibit some signs of intelligence in her dialogue :PI will be working on her story and dialogue today , and that will be what I edit into my first post . To anyone else who see's this comment , just know that I will be busy doing that , so my responses won't be as fast . I won't be checking here too often until I get this out of the way .

NerevarII Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Okay the post has been updated with the backstory and some stuff . Working on dialogue now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerevarII Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 So I have no idea what to do , I might just leave her as is and rework the story and give her a non-nude body , because anything I do at this point either makes her look really ugly , or kind of manly . Any tips on how to make her look older would be appreciated , otherwise she'll stay this way and will uploaded as a follower today or tomorrow . Most likely today .Also , is there a way to delete my own comments , or consolidate them all into one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerevarII Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 So after looking more into things, I simply do not possess the skillset, nor the time, to create an epic and in-depth follower as I intended. However, she will still be fully voiced. She will have vanilla armor, and people can choose whatever they want for her. She will have vanilla AI. There will be no quest.I just need to polish her up and fix the damned vertex points on her head mesh. And figure out what the hell changed after using the CK that now makes my ENB crash Skyrim. Tetrachromatic enb. Worked fine before, andddd .... I need to fix her forehead and/or hairline tint, not sure which it is but here's a screenshot. How do I do this?
