Author notes
Due to me using a lot of assets that aren't mine, I can only give permissions on stuff that is mine. Patches for Varrick such as replacers, translations, ect, can be made, just pm me a link cause I love to see what people make with him.
Do not in any way, shape, or form, use voice lines contained in this mod for any kind of AI model or training, or for any other purpose (e.g. line splicing).
Do not in any way shape or form use my writing with anything in regards to ai. (E.g. DBVO) Any mod that uses my mods or it's content in regards to AI (Mainly DBVO mods,) I will no longer send a warning/request take down message, but insta-report.
I always allow permissions open for Xbox ports as I can't make them. But please do message me first before making them so I can check they aren't already on Xbox.
As of 3/23/23, if you plan to use my mod with anything of yours (even a patch, as a requirement, or any files within the mod) please message me about it to ask. This is so the mod, patch, files used, whatever it is, don't throw me off when it's posted. I like to know what's being done with my work.

Varrick Veil the Disciple (Sidekicks of Tamriel - Custom Voice Follower) - Simplified Chinese Translation
Any content related to my mods posted outside of Nexus or Bethseda.net is posted WITHOUT my permission! I do not allow, and will never allow explicit NSFW content related to my mods! (Please let me know if you see my content elsewhere.)
Varrick Veil is a man of blood and faith. Raised the majority of his life inside the cult of Boethiah, Varrick grew up knowing that in the world of Nirn the key to surviving is strength and power. Unlike other cultists of Boethiah, Varrick finds himself traversing Tamriel only to find himself now in Skyrim. However, don't let yourself be fooled by this man for not all appears as it seems with Varrick. While some cultists believe that mortals deserve to suffer at the hands of Boethiah and fight each other to the death, Varrick believes Boethiah teaches the strength to live and teaches others to wield that same power. He's not a man who craves blood, but life. And doesn't seek out death, but preserves survival.
If the ideology of this man doesn't convince you how amazing he is, also note, that he loves Dad jokes!

FAQ Where can I find Varrick? Varrick can be found just outside of Morthal. Take the south exit of Morthal and head to the east. He will be surrounded by various dead Vigilants of Stendarr.
I can’t talk to Varrick the first time I meet him. This is a bug in the game. Go ahead and quick save and reload the game.
The Vigilants around Varrick are T-Posing. This is a bug I haven’t found a solution to yet.
Does he react to any quests? At the moment no, but there are future plans to make add more.
Is he romanceable? Not yet, but he will be in the future.
Will he be romance focus? No. Varrick is meant to be open as a romance option, but he is mostly friend-focused.
I found a bug. Oh no! Please let me know about it right away!
I have a recommendation for Varrick. I would love to hear it!
Additional Credits in resource PS. I do not take credit for the dad jokes in this mod. I'm horrible at making them. They are just jokes I've found on the internet.
