So otherworldly, they literally stopped existing.

So, for a very long time, I've wanted a demon girl character. But it's been a struggle to get one to stick, and so far I have failed. I keep running into one recurring problem - where do I put them? What I mean is, I can take shots of, say, Kallista or Rae, out in the woods or in towns or dungeon diving, and they look fine. They look normal. Like these are things these characters should be doing. But not daedra. Daedra behooves a certain locale, someplace you'd expect to see them. Sure, I could spin the character's story to circumvent that, but the visual disconnect still bothers me. Until I find or make a good Demonic/Daedric themed home, I may well be forever without a demon grill.


Tam'vel'zelal up there was a very early attempt (June 2012 (2012 was a prolific year for me apparently)) with a very early playable Dremora mod. But, almost shockingly, there's actually very little support for a playable Dremora race. Still, the result was passable. Too bad her lack of a place to look and feel at home ultimately killed her.

Eschewing the standard lore-friendly Dremora, I went for a more creative route much later (February 2017) with Loraphel, a Custom Race Imperial with her texture swapped for the Obscuuri race. I intended to explain her as an obscure Daedra from somewhere between Hermaeus Mora and Mephala's realms, an agent of sex and secrets banished to Tamriel for unclear reasons. She had her own agenda, but I didn't know what it was.

Different year, same problem. I didn't know what to do with her. She had no real character, no place to be, nothing to do. So like all the rest, she failed.


At some point I'd hoped to have her in a sex scene with Maechen, but by this point in history I'd discovered that the XPMSE .esp cauased my camera to flip out, preventing me from taking screenshots, and that Familiar Faces was old enough that JContainers actually advanced beyond it, rendering it even buggier than before. So, that fell through entirely. I've been kicking around the idea of making custom followers. The tutorial I found was pretty comprehensive, covering everything I'd need for just about custom everything. Just gotta make myself do it.

Fun Fact! There's actually another demon girl in my roster, one named y'Xathra, with no screenshots taken of her. She's failing too, but it's too early to call her a proper false start. That said, I'v barely played her at all, so... yeah!



...one day I'll have a demon girl. One day...
