About this mod

As there are very Little good looking male followers, here you go. ;)

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Description:
----------------
This mod will add a male follower to the game.
His Basic race is Redguard, he's a combat sorcerer and uses fire, ice and
lightning magic, as well as some little heals.
He is essential and doesn't affect sneaking, he doesn't mind you doing crimes.
He is set to help allies and friends in battle and can be married.  
He doesn't come with fancy armor or a weapon for a reason, just give him what
you like to see on him and enjoy.
He can be found in the Bannered Mare in Whiterun.


Changelog:
--------------
 - Adjusted head position. (It wasn’t correct for somereason)
 - Tweaked his chin without changing his overall appearance.It should look way smoother now.
 - Added black eyed version for those of you who don’t likehis demon eyes.


Requirements:
-------------------
Skyrim, off course


Recommended:
---------------------
The follower will use your Standard bodymodel and face texture!
In order to make him look exactly like he does in the screenshots though, you
would need the following mods:
Schlongs of Skyrim (just Google it, as I don't know if linking this file is
allowed ;) )
Slimmer Body for SoS:

Known issues:
------------------
Construction Kit: You can change his default outfit, inventory, weapons, stats
or class in CK if you like, just don't touch his facegen data, and more
importantly: DO NOT EXPORT THEM again, unless you know how to merge nif files!
This will overwrite his look for good!
CK isn't showing his hair at all, although it is there, and it won't show his
eyes and brows unless you check the mods listed under required, too.
As this is my first attempt in creating anything for Skyrim, just don't touch
him if you're not sure what you're doing. :P


Install:
----------
Use the modmanager of your choice or simply drag and drop the files to your
Skyrim data Directory.

For thoseof you who already have Kijiko Hair, True Eyes,and True brows installed:
use the misc download. It doesn’t hurt to use the
other one, as it will only overwrite named mod files with their originals, but
you don’t have to overwrite anything if you use the second download.


Uninstall:
-------------
Delete the Arivain Alvarr Follower esp file from your Skyrim data directory,
also delete the folder Arivain Alvarr Follower.esp from:
Data\meshes\actors\character\facegendata\facegeom and
Data\textures\actors\character\facegendata\face tint


Permissions:
----------------
Do not upload this to any other site!
Other than that, do as you wish with him, just don't tie him up and stuff, he
likes his freedom. ;)

CK and destroy something. ;)


Q&A:
-------
Q: The guy is not showing up!
A: He just loves to wander off or sitting down in a shady corner - seems that
he likes to play hide and seek.

Q: He doesn't look like he does on the screenshots!
A: Either you're missing a file tagged as required, or you're using
another body model and/or textures. Look at the recommended section
for furhter Information.

Q: He's so damn hot! Can I marry him?!
A: Fortunately you can. ;)

Q: Where can I get all the fancy items I saw on the screenshots?!

Background:
----------------
Raised by his Redguard mother, Arivain doesn’t know his father. His mother had
always claimed, that he had Dunmer blood in him, and that his father was killed
before he was born. He didn’t doubt that at first. Not until his mother was
killed too, just when he was old enough to become and apprentice.

 
With no parents who could take care of him, he was sent to an orphanage. Arivain had
always been talented with magic, he knew a few ‚tricks‘, to attract people
with, but on the inside, he had always been lonely. No one wanted to adopt him,
and the other children avoided him too, because of his strange eyes. No one
could look at them for too long.

 
But when an old magician found him playing in the streets, showing off one of his little
‚tricks‘, he decided to take him home, and teach him all he could about magic,
none the less. And Arivain had been a good student, very interested and
talented. He dreamt of attending the academy, but he knew that he could never
afford it.

 
When the old mage passed away, Arivain was on his own again. Since he didn’t have a
place to go, nor the money to go to the academy, he decided to find out about
his roots, while trying to earn as much money as he could.

He endedupserving as a mercenary in Whiterun, but since people didn’t trust him,
nor wanted to be alone with him because of his strange eyes, he could hardly
make the money to pay for his room.
