Forums » Looking for RP » A Khajiit's Otherworldly Journey - Skyri (closed)

Nearly a decade after Ja’vassa had founded Dragon’s Keep Academy and after his children had grown old enough to leave for their own journeys, the Dragonborn had decided it was time to move on with his life. He had spent nearly two thousand years playing a dominant force in Tamriel’s politics and culture, and now it was time for him to move on. There were no longer any villains to slay, quests to undertake, treasures to be looted, and while he enjoyed his time as a teacher for Skyrim’s youth, he was ready to open the next chapter of his life and retire to a life of scholarship and study. This Khajiit may still have been known as an incredibly deadly warrior, he no longer cared for the mercenary lifestyle, even if he loved the adventures that came with it. It was now time for him to continue his pursuit of knowledge in honor of his Lord, and with this, he resigned from headmaster of Dragon’s Keep and ultimately decided he’d leave Rkung-Zel as well, leaving it and everything inside it to the ones who served him, soon heading for the Tower of Mzark where he had AHO docked, the grand Dwemer Airship would serve as his new home and base of operations, aiming to use it to store his research journals, weapons, apparel, food and everything else he might need when he’s traveling across Tamriel and for when he finally decides it’s time to travel towards Akavir.

As he traveled about, from province to province in search of knowledge, he began to explore the possibility of visiting Oblivion realms that haven’t revealed themselves to the mortal realm yet. While Akavir would provide some intriguing adventures, he admittedly found himself more interested in leaving Nirn itself, even if just temporarily. Of course, there were a few problems; traveling to Oblivion, especially uninvited, is extremely difficult, even for wizards of his caliber, and then there was also the difficulty of attempting to transport his massive airship into Oblivion with him, if that's even possible. This led him to digging up each and every single research journal of his that he could find, delving deep into various studies that involved daedric runes and portals in an effort to see if what could be done. Though, even for as isolated as Tower Mzark was, opening a massive portal in the middle of Skyrim would likely bring some unwanted attention, so he boarded AHO and set off in search of an isolated island off the coasts of Tamriel, eventually finding an uncharted island off the coast of High Rock, far enough that he’d be undisturbed while creating this portal.

Nearly a year after he discovered the island and began his experiments, he was successful in creating and opening the portal, but unfortunately, opening it required a great deal of magicka, likely meaning that once he entered, it’d be a few days before he’d be able to return, regardless of the danger. As he would with any dangerous dungeon dive, he equipped himself with his Infinity Sword and his good armor, soon entering the portal with his grand airship. However, as he entered, a new problem arose. For reasons unknown, AHO began to quickly descend towards the ground and when it seemed that disaster was swiftly approaching, Ja’vassa engaged the ship’s emergency procedures that allowed it to safely land on the ground, doing major damage to the land around it.* Fortunately for him, the pilot and its contents were relatively unharmed. The Dragonborn was slightly shaken up, and as he went outside to inspect it and assess it for any damage it may have sustained. AHO was largely undamaged, but now Ja’vassa was left with the unusual problem of being stuck in a world not his own with a ship that seemed to be out of commission for the time being. Everything on the inside was still functioning as it should, but the thrusters seemed to have been completely dead. Unsure of where he was and struck by a sudden wave of exhaustion, Ja’vassa slumped down beside a tree in an effort to regain his strength, and once it returned, he’d explore it to his heart’s content.

Once he was finally able to recover and begin exploring, he had made his way towards a nearby city, but froze upon arriving at the city gates. In the many long centuries he’s lived, he’s never, ever seen a city nearly as large. The Imperial City, Solitude, Torval, all of it seemed tiny in comparison; he quickly found himself overwhelmed by the sight and briefly returned to the forest to collect his composure. He knelt beside a small lake, using the gentle sounds of the water to relax himself, though as he was relaxing, he had been approached by an unusual creature that appeared to take an interest in him. It wasn’t too uncommon for wild animals to approach him, as many often came to him for both peaceful and not so peaceful reasons. Bear and saber cat attacks were common, but he occasionally found himself attempting to attract wild rabbits and foxes to his side purely in an effort to pet them, the odd creature that approached him was no exception.

Strange as it was, Ja’vassa found himself enamored by it and attempted to touch it, but the unusual animal was a little shy of him, keeping its distance. Slightly disappointed, he’d shrug it off and attempt to approach the city once more, but as he entered the city gates, he found himself receiving strange looks with few people willing to speak with him. Being unable to receive any information, he decided to return to the crash site to try and figure things out. He couldn’t employ his Alter Body spell, since he was incapable of changing his racial appearance, as he rested by the ship with his journal in hand, the odd creature had joined him, seemingly studying the Khajiit in an effort to learn if he was hostile or not. After determining that Ja’vassa was friendly, it approached, allowing itself to be pet by the Dragonborn. Slightly enamored by the little animal, he decided to ignore his writing for a bit and focus on the creature, thinking that perhaps it would give him some ideas.

So, in this plot, it involves Ja’vassa accidentally becoming shipwrecked in the Pokemon universe following an experiment. At first, he’s only able to befriend [Pokemon - Listed Below], seeing as he’s not able to get much help from the locals in [local city], at least this is until Y/C comes to investigate the crash site, meeting with the Dragonborn. Understandably, Y/C is a little suspicious about the six foot tall, talking catman, but after speaking with him, they discover that Ja’vassa isn’t here for malicious reasons. Y/C teaches him about the world around him and winds up convincing him to join them on a journey around [region]. Ja’vassa becomes massively interested in the prospect of training these strange creatures, but has little interest in the competitive side of things, aiming to befriend Pokemon just for the fun of it. He’ll partake in battles if he has to, but would prefer not to, as he claims he’s done more than enough fighting back home.

In the Pokemon universe, Ja’vassa’s team will vary from region to region, but down below will be the ones he’ll always have, often being his starter. Regions can be discussed prior to play, but Unova, Sinnoh, and Johto get priority. Regardless of what region will be used, AHO will serve as his base of operations and his home. Ja’vassa is unlikely to partake in any battles unless he absolutely has to, largely serving as a mentor of sorts to whoever he travels with, offering advice regarding adventuring and survival, even if he knows little about the new world.

Kanto: Nidoran-M/F (Varies from RP to RP)
Johto: Pichu
Hoenn: Ralts
Sinnoh: Cherubi
Unova: Purrloin
Kalos: Espurr
Alola: Popplio
Galar: Snom
Paldea: Wattrel

In the months that followed an unusual attack on the Dragon’s Keep Academy by an even stranger Redguard assailant, the legendary Dragonborn had found himself stuck in a world not his own, removed from everything he had known and loved. At first, it was easy to assume that he somehow was dropped in Akavir, but he quickly discovered that he wasn’t on Nirn anymore, or even in Oblivion for that matter. The world he was thrust into was strikingly similar to Akavir in terms of the general architecture that dotted the landscape as well as the equipment used by the locals. Fortunately, due to Ja’vassa’s own reverence for Akaviri culture, he was able to blend in relatively easily without many problems. Unfortunately, shortly after he was dropped into this world, he found that his recall magic didn’t seem to work like it should. Every other spell in his arsenal worked flawlessly, but any attempt to use his recall magic resulted in an explosion that, while it didn’t hurt him, caused massive confusion. For the foreseeable future until he could figure out just what was happening, he found himself trapped.

It took some time, but with the help of some kind hearted locals, he was able to learn the language* and more effectively blend in with this country’s culture. Like anywhere else, while he lived here, he’d need to find a stable income. Learning to speak and read the language was one thing, but learning to write it would be another thing entirely, so selling poetry, research journals, or other sources of writing was off the table and so, he turned to the mercenary lifestyle once more. By this point, he had largely retired from the scene and remained focused on teaching his students at the academy, but considering that he was far from Dragon’s Keep, that wouldn’t be possible. He took on any and all jobs that he could, many of them involved him wiping out a tribe of bandits nearby or slaying demons that were causing the local villages trouble. Prior to arriving in Japan, the Dragonborn had crafted a special set of armor based upon what he had learned about what Akaviri generals had worn.

The armor was strong and sturdy, but not too heavy, and was white as snow boasting powerful enchantments. Alongside the armor, he crafted a specially enchanted katana he named the White Fang to serve as his main weapon, so he’d still regularly employ Goldbrand in many of his battles. To his employers, enemies, and locals, he had become known as the White Samurai renowned for his skill and ferocity in battle; with many bandit tribes fearing his approach. He was infamous for quite literally tearing his enemies to pieces or simply burning their bodies beyond recognition, though many considered this to be unsurprising considering they assumed he himself was a powerful demon. Nearly two years after arriving, Ja’vassa had become fairly wealthy as a result of the missions he’s undertaken, with many local lords attempting to recruit him into their armies, though he’d decline every time, preferring the freedom he had as a freelance mercenary.

With this one, it involves Ja’vassa taking up the role of a renowned mercenary following an unusual attack on his academy. Much of his story involves him attempting to figure out a way home, though taking on various jobs on the side in order to keep a stable income. He’s usually not too worried about who hires him or what they’re wanting, as long as they pay well, and because of this, he could easily be hired to go after Y/C (both OCs and canons alike) and from there, plenty of scenarios could open depending on who hired him (like Naraku, for instance) and who he’s going after. Y/C could also be hired to track him down and kill him due to the frightening reputation he’s developed, or perhaps his refusal to fight for any of the local militias that offended the lords of the land, plenty of options open up here. I’d largely prefer for the timeline to follow that of the anime/manga, though with it starting off prior to Koga’s introduction, of course this is negotiable.

*Ja’vassa might know how to speak Japanese, but his writer does not. This is merely a terrible solution to an obvious language barrier.

In an effort to teach his daughters more about the world of alchemy, Ja’vassa that perhaps it was time to move beyond Nirn and look into the more exotic ingredients that the various realms of Oblivion had to offer, and he was particularly interested in visiting the realm of Peryite. Being the lord of disease and plague, he had no doubt that the Pits would be a prime location to search for ingredients that could be turned into deadly poisons, however, due to Ja’vassa’s limited interactions with the prince, arriving in the Pits would be difficult. He visited various shrines across Tamriel, but none of the worshipers present were willing to help him with the matter, leading him to take matters in his own hands. He returned to his home of Rkung-Zel and began to set up various daedric runes, with the one in the center spelling out ALCHEMY in daedric letters; he did this in a similar manner to the other portals he’s set up in the center. To his surprise, and his relief, he was able to successfully open up the portal and with his daughters following close behind him, they stepped through it in order to begin their research expedition.

Opening the portal would just be the first mistake Ja’vassa made, the second would be actually entering it, as soon after they entered, he was confronted by a strange, elderly looking man. On the surface, he seemed like any ordinary old man; well groomed and well taken care of, but there was something about him that caused all three Khajiit to shiver slightly. It was as if there were hordes of people crawling inside him. Unfortunately, the portal quickly closed behind them, leaving them stranded in this unusual world. Alongside the strange man were a group of equally strange people; an obese, dimwitted looking man, a scantily clad woman with a tattoo resting above an impressively sized chest, and an adrogynous teen staring at him a mixture of indifference and annoyance. They seemed upset with him for intruding upon his home and were likely to attack at any second, though Ja’vassa was more than confident that he’d be able to easily defeat them on his own, the elderly man took an interest in him, his unusual armor and weapons, and of course, his impressive entrance. Rather than ordering an attack on him, out of nowhere, the woman managed to pin his daughters against the wall, threatening to murder them if didn’t listen to them.

In most cases, the Dragonborn would’ve flipped out and attacked them in a cold blooded rage, but he held himself back out of concern for his children, he could lose them as he had so many others. After talking for a little while, the old man had given him a new proposal; in exchange for the safety of his daughters, he’d work for his group. Do what they say and his daughters would survive, though they’d be taken in as hostages, or he could refuse and watch as Lust tore them to pieces or as Gluttony devoured them. Seeing no other option, Ja’vassa ultimately agreed to the proposal and became an unwilling servant to the strange man. From here on out, Ja’vassa would be known as an experimental chimera created by the military after studying the research notes Shou Tucker left behind. He was sent off to serve as an assistant to Wrath, who eventually found another assignment that would better suit this feline warrior. Rather than serving as his personal assistant, he was assigned to be the personal bodyguard of the Fullmetal Alchemist and his brother, believing that following their latest fiasco at the Fifth Laboratory, they’d need someone to keep an eye on them. Wrath refused to explain why, only mentioning that the siblings were important to the military. Not in a position to argue, he simply took the new assignment and would be hell bent on ensuring that the brothers would be safe and sound, even if he and the Fullmetal Alchemist frequently butted heads.

In this plot, Ja’vassa becomes the unwilling bodyguard of the Elric brothers, accompanying them on their journey to recover their bodies. He’s responsible for ensuring that they’d be safe in deadly encounters and to ensure that they wouldn’t see anything they weren’t supposed to. The story would start between the events in the Fifth Lab and the death of the original Greed, with it largely following along the manga/Brotherhood’s timeline.

As with any mage, Ja’vassa is always looking for new sources of inspiration and new ways to improve upon his magic, and he’s always teaching his daughters as much as he can about the arcane arts. Now that Dragon’s Keep Academy was out of session for the rest of the year, he could focus on privately teaching with his children, showing them various applications of the spells he’s taught them away from the prying eyes of the Imperials who monitored the school. Eventually, he wanted to show them some of the realms of Oblivion; teaching them how to create a portal, what to keep an eye out for, and how to return to the mortal realm. His initial demonstration was largely successful, though instead of being brought to Oblivion like planned, a mistake in the runes led him to somewhere entirely different, a land filled with strange inhabitants. Unsure of where they are and with the portal closing behind them, they began to explore their new surroundings, eventually meeting with an unusual merchant. At first, the merchant attempted to scam him, but was eventually convinced to give him a little information, explaining that they were now in the Boiling Isles.

While the pair conversed, the woman’s own apprentice had approached them, immediately becoming fascinated with the large felines. The girl and his daughters found themselves getting along surprisingly well, eventually leading them to join her and the merchant back at their home where Ja’vassa would explain where they came from and what they were doing. Though warned to be wary of the Emperor, Ja’vassa and his daughters began to learn magic from Eda and in return, Luz learned about alchemy from the Khajiit.

This plot loosely follows along the main storyline of the Owl House, with Ja’vassa and his daughters becoming close friends of Luz and her companions.
