Memoirs of the Abyss | Follower & Quest Mod for TESV: Skyrim (Round One)
clbroyles for Stride Marshall Oco
Oco is an important recurring character throughout the questline. An older Argonian man in the direct service a royal court, he has a bizarre temperament for his species - loud, boisterous, cheerful and hearty. After spending fourteen years working alongside Nord family, he's gotten hooked on that taste of the culture - the mead and brawls, but also the history and traditions. However, in his older age, his body is beginning to fail him. Though he insists on holding off retirement, he's certainly not as spry as he used to be, but he doesn't let that stop him from leaping into a good fight when he can find one!
His voice should be quite expressive and powerful, but also cheerful and friendly.
"Look, son... I'm not gonna sit here and tell you need to love him 'because he's your father'. Because, let's be frank, he's been an utter bastard to you. But I've known you since you just a tiny skink in the hatching pool, and I know, with every ounce of my belief, that you're not going to end up like that man. You are always going to be you, and no bad blood in your veins is going to ruin that."
(In this line, Oco is consoling a young man who he's known all of their life, and who has come to see him as a replacement father figure in place of an actual parent. Oco is fond of him, and so is being kind and soft-spoken in a tender moment, encouraging him.)
"But that... no, that doesn't make sense. Iruli was the equivalent of a duke, not some... you know, some conquering warlord. He didn't need a huge fortress like that. Why build it if he wasn't going to war?"
(In this line, Oco is trying to piece together clues with a group of people, and is challenging someone else's suggestion/interpretation of the facts. He, along with the others, are attempting to narrow down the possible explanations, and work out something vital to their goals - a lot is on the line, and Oco is really focusing on logic here.)
"Hahahahaha...! Oh, Hist, I haven't had this much fun in yeaaaars!"
(This is a mid-combat line. Oco is facing a particularly dangerous situation against many tough opponents, but he's reveling in every second of it. He should sound cheerful and like he's having a fantastic time.)
