CENTRAL HEADCANONS.
POSSESSION. .... by working with the dead & spiritual tethers for so long, his body has, in a sense, become weakened to them. while he typically keeps a passive ward up to prevent himself from becoming unwillingly possessed, he can drop this, & allow spirits to talk through him. with low level spirits, he has full control & recall of what they said. with higher level spirits, it’s entirely possible he can become unwillingly possessed & not even know it.POST-COLDHARBOUR. .... after coldharbour, mannimarco looks harrowingly different. he’s missing his ring finger on his right hand & his pinky on his left, as well as only having his left eye. he is absolutely covered in scars & strange runes, including a few particularly nasty gashes on his face. he seals himself away for a while until he masters using the schools of alteration & illusion to make his appearance look like it once was. if you catch him off-guard, you might see his unmarred skin, fingers, & eye seem to ‘fade‘ back into being.he can’t keep this up forever, or even for long amounts of times. in addition to processing trauma, he keeps himself sealed up to avoid others seeing him as a hideous thing. whenever he must battle though, or perform particularly intricate magical rituals, he is forced to revert to his true appearance. this is where the red robe comes from, as it hides all of the ways molag baal has left a profound impact on his life.

WELCOME FRIENDS!.... this is a selective/ private rp blog for a canon-divergent mannimarco / king of worms from bethesda's the elder scrolls.
THIS BLOG IS 18+. ....please do not follow me if you're a minor. firstly, i'm an adult, and secondly, this blog contains a lot of inappropriate content for minors.TRIGGERING CONTENT..... which, speaking of, this blog, like its source material, features gore, supernatural elements, death, and other unfortunate topics. i will tag everything as "#trigger //", but just keep that in mind.I SELECTIVELY SHIP. ....while my main ship is mannimarco & vanus, i get not everyone ships this! i'm also open to exploring other ships, but only with characters with similarly lengthened age-spans.ON CALLOUTS. .... i support posts letting others know about active predators, or people who write out extremely gross topics (r*pe, incest, etc.). i don't support callouts that are made over interpersonal conflicts between a small group of people.
HEADCANONS..... i rely heavily on them, especially given how little of mannimarco we truly know. generally, i love pulling from folklore, or mythology, or anything that grabs my imagination! sometimes i write things that are melodramatic or campy- i find this style fun, & interesting!THANKS FOR READING! ....my name is faust, i'm in my twenties, they/them, est. i'm currently juggling mental health, work, & college, so i can get quite busy sometimes! i'm also particularly bad at socializing. please excuse me if i come across as awkward- i promise i want to talk to you, i'm just bad at carrying a conversation sometimes!!i look forward to writing with you!
