BUMP! This is going to be a Then and Now dedication to my latest character, Renee Gade III, daughter of Renee Gade II, and granddaughter of Renee Gade the first. I think since this is grandma, mom, and daughter why not have a look at the one who started it all. That is Renee Gade, and she is Imperial. This is her as pictured in the Year 389 of the 3rd Era. She is my TES 1: Arena character. I like to imagine she is very young in this pic; no more than 18. She's not very good with writing, she keeps a journal which is so sloppy I can barely tolerate reading it, but she is also bright enough to use magic. I like to think she was a battlemage-in-training for Uriel Septim's VII's court, but unfortunately she (along with Uriel himself) was imprisoned by Jagar Tharn, the evil wizard who took over the land of Tamriel. And that is Renee Gade II, she was an OB character from my PS3 days. Unlike the original battlemage from Arena, RG2 did not use magic at all, RG2 was a pure fighter. The only exception to this was I allowed her to use the default healing spell. She was my first DiD character, but she lasted quite awhile. She was also my first true roleplay. Umaril the Unfeathered is the one who eventually did RG2 in. That is a picture of Claudette Colbert, who played in Cleopatra, a movie from like 1933 or something. I put her pic there because Claudette is the one whose looks I used to model RG2. See the similarity? I did my best. I wanted to use Xena for inspiration on RG2's looks, but the problem is the vanilla game does not support hairstyles with bangs. And you gotta have bangs on your head if you want to look like Xena. Anyways, Cleopatra instead of Xena. Sorry if that's a bit indulgent. I want to see all my gals in one place for once. Anyways, next we'll get to the Then and Now portion.

That is the randomized face which I started with. Looks nothing like the warrior goddess I'd eventually create! Lol. But that's where it all started. And above is Renee Gade III, the vanilla version, after I had tweaked this way and that. That's her near the end of the Tutorial sewers, after almost dying, as we can see by the health & stamina meters. She chose not to eat the food we find in the middle of that one room (the one with the broken barrels of cheese & other food) so her stats were pretty thin. There she is again, all healed up. I spent a lot of time finally using Xena for inspiration instead of Cleopatra. At this stage, I had messed with her face, getting it as far as I could. She doesn't have Xena's famous smirk, and hasn't yet got Xena's famous hair. I would eventually go on a mad search to find just the right hairstyle for my gal, finally getting Coolsims to work. I believe that is the first pic of her with Coolsims hair. Whoops, no it's not. That's Wind Braids / vanilla Finally got her to smirk. And then that's the final version. Coolsims hair, but the armor is from Xena Updated?. This mod only gives us the armor, a couple weapons, and a quest to find all these items. And Gabrielle, although Gabby looks nothing like the gal on the show. People have tweaked her face by using the CK, and that's what I'm eventually going to do.

Yaah, I remember Saya and Nykteria from the Hot / Not contest. Was Nykteria friendly with necros, then? WOW look at Persephone. I love that first pic of her the most.

I love that first pic of her the most. Nykteria was a necro hunter. Her sister was killed by necromancers. So she infiltrated their group, learned their secrets, and then went on a killing spree. She used necromancy to kill necromancers. I made a list of all the necromancer and lich lairs in the game, and she cleared out every one of them. Persephone is my favorite Sky character by far. She is the one character I keep going back to play, even after long hiatuses with other characters. There are lots more pics of her and my other characters in my pictures topic Persephone's start here.

Very nice backstory there, in the sense that it gives Nykteria's Necro killing spree good purpose. QUOTE(mirocu @ Jun 12 2014, 08:51 AM) I remember both Nykteria and Saya from the contest too, think I even voted for Saya... I know for a fact I voted hot for Nykteria, maybe Saya too. Oh yes, definitely Saya. Her gaze is hypnotizing in that one pic. This post has been edited by Renee Gade IV: Jun 12 2014, 10:00 PM

Here is an NPC Then and Now.... Long ago I got a mod called Xena Unleashed (something like this) which gives us Xena's armor, a few of her swords, her famous chakram, and ... Gabrielle. Hmmm. This is the Gabrielle which came with the mod. Eeesh. Yeah I know... she looks nothing like Renee O'Conner, not at all, right? I am not saying my Gabrielle is anything like Renee on the show, but I think once I find a blond wig with bangs in the front, it'll be hard to tell from a distance. This was my first experiment with the Construction Set, by the way. Blew my mind. Here is a cuter shot of her. This post has been edited by Renee Gade IV: Nov 7 2014, 06:03 PM
