Slaver Start: Diary of Mine Alternate Start for Live Another Life/Alternate Perspective 1.2.2

An alternate start mod for Diary of Mine using Live Another Life or Alternate Perspective. Esl flagged.

Has Enthralled integration without start requirement.

 When starting the game, you can now choose to start as a slaver with DOM equipment and a slave or slaver of your choice. Pick between 12 NPCs, all of them have a set personality, training, kinks, and virginity status for DOM. Any NPC that was not selected at the start can be optionally found in Enthralled.

The images in the gallery were all taken with the High Poly Head KSHairdos patch.

Before leaving the starting room, make sure that Diary of Mine has fully initialised. Including a save/reload.

After starting your new live, give the game some time to finish the setup scripts from DOM and LAL/AP.

NPC

Regardless of which start mod you chose, you can start with the following NPC. They all have their own specialisation and training. All slaves except 2 are considered highly trained, with their highest training stat in the 90-100 range. Highly trained slaves have a submission and resignation above 70, so they will not try to run.
The personality values should make sense, the warrior is tough, the slaver is dishonest, etc.

1.  Imperial sex slave: Atia Meretrix, has high sex and submission training
    
2. Redguard, former rival: Bilaira, a former slaver and now a slave herself. Starts with increased slaver stats and high fear training.
    
3. Nord barbarian: Eila, a combat slave with light armor and two handed weapons. Starts with high combat training, is set by default to assist in battle.
    
4. High Elf Sorceress: Imiril, a pyromancer. Starts with high combat training, is set by default to assist in battle.
    
5. Bosmer Ranger: Canda, archer. Starts with high combat training, is set by default to assist in battle
    
6. Breton novice priestess. Thisa, she starts of with high Respect and will speak respectfully to the player. She's a true virgin.
    
7. Argonian maid: Waits-At-Attention, a housekeeper (and more).
    
8. Dunmer townswoman: Nireli, wife of Calden, she starts the game with low training.
    
9. Dunmer townsman: Calden, husband of Nireli, he starts the game with low training.
    
10. Orc enforcer. Morn, she is not a slave, but a trainer specialised in Enforcer and Predator skills
     
11. Khajiit trainer: Ubaasi, she's not a slave, but a trainer specialised in the Deceiver and Depraver skills.
     
12. Nord slaver (male): Brend, he's not a slave, but a trainer specialised in the Slaver and Enforcer skill.

Live Another Life

When you speak to the statue of Mara, there are now options for Slaver Start. The dialogue tree always goes Location -> Equipment -> Wares. Select your start options, and go to the cell's bed.

Locations

First, you select the starting location, these options are in first dialogue list with Mara, usually near the bottom.

I'm a slaver in 

• Whiterun inn
• The Guardian Stones
• College of Winterhold, after the entrance test at the bridge
• Raven Rock
• The Restless Hunter (only if Home Sweet Home is installed)
• Riften's slave auction (only if Simple Slavery++ is installed. This also works with the Simple Slavery Rebuild patch for that mod)

Equipment

Secondly, you can choose which gear you start with, there are 8 options:

• Mage: robes and several vanilla and DOM (Dead Souls, Lash, Lust), DOM potions
• Warrior, heavy armor and two handed
• Mercenary: heavy armor, one handed and shield
• Rogue: light armor, dual daggers, bow, potions
• Nightblade: light armor and mage hood, single dagger, Illusion spellbook and DOM Charm spellbooks (Lash, Lust, Love, Mind break)
• Noble: clothing and a single weapon, bonus gold
• Witch Hunter: Silver sword, mix of heavy armor and mage hood, vanilla spellbooks and DOM spellbook (Hose, Lash)
• Vampire: start as a normal vampire, vampire armor, one handed weapon. Vanilla spellbooks and DOM spellbooks (Dead Souls, Shock)

The weapons are all steel in quality, the armor is iron. The magic classes all have a small selection of reasonable spellbooks to start with.

If Zaz is installed, each option will also get a selection of restraints, matching the theme. The rogues have ropes and gags, the warrior has heavy shackles, etc.

If Devious Devices is installed, you'll get a couple of keys to start with.

Regardless of your choice you will always get the following:

Slaver gear: a whip, a bludgeon, and a couple of collars, both enchanted and base. All slaves start with an enchanted collar to make sure they can't flee.

Adventurer gear: lockpicks, torch, a couple of healing potions, and some food.

You start with a modest amount of gold, the noble start and the slaveless start both increase this amount.

Wares

After choosing the starting location, you can choose the slave or slaver that you start with. There is an additional option to start with no NPC following you, but with bonus gold and the slaver equipment you chose earlier.

Calden and Nireli come as a package.

After choosing, sleep on the bed to start the game. Give it a few moments for all the scripts to run.

Alternate Perspective

You select your entire loadout and the NPC you want while still in the starting cell. There are no additional options on the dragon, instead you can use your choices on every start.

The strongbox on the table now contains several notes, employment contracts (for slavers) and proofs of ownership (for slaves). You can read them for a short description of the NPC. If you have them in your inventory when you walk past the door, the NPC matching the chosen notes will spawn and be automatically enslaved/recruited for you.

You can pick multiple NPC, but be aware that they are spawned and enslaved one at a time.

In the AP footlocker, you'll find DOM weapons like the padded whip and the bludgeon. DOM spell books have been added to the other spell tomes in the drawers next to the bed. The closet with armors now also has some DOM collars.

Pick whichever option you like, and start the game.

Enthralled integration

You can still get the NPCs that you didn't pick if you have Enthralled: Custom Npc Quests for Paradise Halls and Diary of Mine installed. The highly trained slaves will automatically be added to the slavers in Solitude, Windhelm, and Raven Rock docks. The slavers can be hired from the same locations.

The poorly trained Calden and Nireli can be bought from the jails.

The Alternate Start patches are not needed for Enthralled integration, only the main file.

This requires Enthralled version 1.6.1 or higher. It will only work if Enthralled is installed from the start.

Assets from other mods

This mod uses eye meshes and textures from Koralina's Even More eyes and from Kala's Eyes. Only the textures required are included. If you have these mods already installed, you might get a conflict warning. As they are the same files this does not matter. If you have those mods and want to save a few MB of disc space, you can delete them from this mod.

If you have suggestions, ideas, or want to report a bug, let me know in the comments.
